‘Sooo...where are we?’

Looking around him, Will had imagined the sect would be a lot...building looking? This place looked like what happens when a giant bee grew intelligent enough to make a “house”.

Currently, Will was inside a massive beehive, and he couldn’t remember how he got here…

'Last I recall, I got sleepy while riding on Hey-Hey...who for some reason is a giant bug. Still can’t get over it, totally weird thing to be honest. So then I took a nap on his fluffy...fur? Hair? What do you call the fuzzy thing he had on his body? It was really fluffy though, so I just took a nap… and woke up here.'

He now kinda regretting the fact that he didn’t bother staying awake long enough to see where the rest of the gang went or where he is. Deciding that he might as well look around, Will picked himself up from a “bed” made of the same fluffy fuzzy things on Hey-Hey. Other then the color being different as these ones was white - Hey-Hey’s was a mixture of black and yellow.

Taking a closer look at the wash bin-sized yellow honeycomb texture that decorated the walls and floors, Will noticed that there still is some honey inside of most of them! Well, to be more exact only on the vertical walls, those ones seemed to have been dug into and turned into storages for the honey.

'Hmmm... I wonder how it would taste?'

Looking around, Will made sure that no one was around the small room, before quickly stretching a finger and poking one of the nearby wall storage of honey that his little bed was laid by.

The honey had a rich golden color, and felt extremely thick. Stirring it a bit, Will pulled out his finger and sucked it.

'Mmmm, it tastes - like honey. Probably because it's honey?'

Kinda disappointed that it didn't taste like some godly juice or something, instead it was like one of those normal store brought honey you can find anywhere.

"Man...I wish it was ice cream. What a let down." Walking back to his little bed, Will sat down wondering when someone would get him.

If they wanted him for food, he doubted that they would just leave him in a room full of tasty honey. Well - unless it was to fatten him up...

As Will was thinking that, rustling noise came from under him. But when he tried to find the source, the sound stopped.

'Ok, I'm either getting back my hallucinations or there's something underneath the bed.'

Making sure that his body didn't touch the honeycomb-like floor, Will tried to peer into the darkness beneath his fuzzy bed.

He could only see something yellow and black before it latched onto his face.

"AHHHHH! THE ALIENS GOT ME!!!"

Screaming, Will tried to throw off the thing that tried to attach itself to his face.

Managing to hook his little fingers around the body of his attacker, Will threw the attacking creature away from his body.

"You motherfucking piece of alien parasite! I'm gonna kick your sorry a-", Will paused, he looked at the wiggling thing in front of him. What he had thought was an alien is actually - a baby bee.

Well not really a baby bee, more like a baby bee the size of a small dog. It had the usual fuzzy fluff thing all over its body, colored by stripes of black and yellow. The little creature looks to be rather confused about the whole screaming business and was trying to wiggle its way back towards Will.

'Ok... I'm assuming it was somewhere in this room and I just didn't see it. And I'm going go on a limb and say that after eating that honey caused me smell just like food to it.'

Putting one of his little hands forward, Will poked the little bee. The bee wiggled in reply. So he poked it again...

Poke. Wiggle. Poke. Wiggle. Poke. Poke. Wiggle. Wiggle.

Pok-

"What are you doing?" A sudden voice came from behind Will as he played with the baby bee.

Turning around, Will watched as Hey-Hey walk through an opening in the honeycomb-like walls that definitely wasn't there before.

"Me? Me no do anything! Me play with Mr.Bee-Bee!" Quickly slipping on his mask of innocence and cuteness, Will tried to pretend that he didn't do anything that was against the rules.

Though technically you can't break rules if you don't know what they are. So in a way Will wasn't lying to Hey-Hey.

"I knew I shouldn't have left you with the princess! Get out now!" Hey-Hey looked angry as he quickly tried to rush Will outside the room. Only to be stopped by a bunch of buzzing.

"Buzzzzzzz!"

"Huh? Wait are you sure your royal highness?" Hey-Hey's expressions are getting even more interesting to watch.

Will watched as the one-sided conversation went on, Hey-Hey's face became more and more astonished. By the end of it, Will only heard a bunch of buzzing sounds and Hey-Hey's face getting paler by the second.

When what Will assumed the yelling was over, if Hey-Hey's pale face said anything. Hey-Hey turned over to Will and asked, "Um, Will right? Did you eat the royal jelly that was in those containers?"

'Should I lie? But this dude understands Bee... But royal jelly? That’s what they call the normal honey here?'

Will nodded.

That somehow made Hey-Hey’s face even paler, and considering how it was already as white as a sheet of paper - was quite fun to watch.

"Oh, Bee God. Please, please, let this be a nightmare! I swear I wasn't cutting corners! Seriously! I thought the princess was already past the larva stage! She's already a couple of months old! She...she shouldn't have been in here in the first place!" Now Hey-Hey was even blabbering into empty space.

As Will watch this sad, sad man/bee thingy slowly go crazy, he felt the urge to enjoy the moment. Besides it wasn't like he could understand the muttering of an insane man anyways.

Walking over to the little bee on the ground, Will picked it up and then moved over to the honeycombs that held the honey. Dipping another finger in, he causally sucked on it while continue to watch Hey-Hey's mental breakdown.

Some buzzing from his hands made him look at the baby bee in his arms.

"Oh right, I guess we're even now for you freaking the crap out of me. I got to see enough cuteness from you, so here, have some honey."

Dipping his finger in the honey pot again, Will lowered his finger to the bee and watched as it licked the honey off his finger.

'You know, I don't really remember if bees were supposed to have tongues but then again I'm in a fantasy world and all. Plus with Hey-Hey being a giant ass bee...'

"YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Will blinked his eyes at Hey-Hey, somehow he had went from mental breakdown, right back to being angry...

'This dude definitely have bipolor.'

Rushing over, Hey-Hey snatched the baby bee from his hands, leaving Will looking weird as he just stood there with a finger covered in honey held out.

"What are you doing Hey-Hey? I was feeding Mr.Bee-Bee!" Will tried to take back the baby bee in Hey-Hey’s arms.

Jerking his body to the side, as if he was trying to defend the baby bee, Hey-Hey had a really scary look when he stared at Will. "Do you have any idea what you just did? If anyone finds out, we're BOTH dead! You touched the Princess! No one touches the Princess! She shouldn't even be here!"

Now Hey-Hey went back to crazy mode again, yelling something about the Queen and how his life was over.

Basically, crazy people's talk.

Will went back to ignoring his deranged...acquaintance? Guide? He wasn't really sure about their relationship, but at least he could confidently say - they are totally not friends.

'Who makes friends with psychos? Now that I think about it...'

"Hey-Hey! Where's big sissy, Professor Bun-Bun, Blacky, Fluffy, and Birdy? I don't see them anywhere."

Hey-Hey just continues to scream into his hand that wasn't holding on to Mr.Bee-Bee, which at this point probably wanted a divorce with his body.

Will sighed; it appears he had no choice but to search himself. As softly as he could, Will sneaked out of the room through the open hole that Hey-Hey had opened behind him.

Outside his little room was long corridors filled with the same kind of honeycomb-like textures that stretched down three separate paths.

"Now that I think about it, they got some nice lighting here." Will spoke out loud to himself as he wondered down the path directly in front of his room. The ceiling seemed to have some kind of glow that allowed Will to see everything clearly.

'I bet they made the magic version of a light bulb here, maybe with a bit less bulb and more floaty light thingy?'

Looking above him, Will could see some honeycombs giving out light embedded at regular intervals. The rest of the ceiling was likely just decoration for whoever is living here.

Walking along the chosen path, Will looked at everything with fascination. He didn't see anyone else yet, but there were a variety of strange things that stood out. On some parts of the walls, there seemed to be some kind of button-like object made entirely of what appears to be light-green honey. Will was tempted to press one of them, until it dawned to him that it was probably some kind of alarm.

Or maybe a piece of art, but Will wasn't going to test his luck.

There were also caveman-like art on the walls as well, likely some kind of unique culture that giant bee people practice. Will didn't feel he should judge another specie's art forms. Though that only applies as long as they aren't trying to convert him somehow.

Wandering on, he stumbled his way into a huge room, filled with giant bees. They all were sitting weirdly human-like as they sat on strange orange honey chairs and ate off of orange honey plates and tables. The moment he walked in, every bee head turned his way.

"Err...Hi?" Trying to stay calm, Will went for the initial proper greetings.

As one, all the bees stood up and then lowered their heads down.

"BUUUZZZZZ"

Taken by surprised by their servitude posturing, Will said the first thing that went through his head, "All rise! Good, good my loyal minions! You have done me proud!"

The giant bees stayed where they were, all their heads still bowing towards him.

Inwardly beating himself up for watching those stupid demon lord animes, Will tried again, "BUUUUZZZZZZ!!!".

He figured that buzzing was their entire language, so then they probably meant different things depending on his intentions.

"Why are you asking them where's the closest bathroom that you can go throw up honey into?" Behind Will, Hey-Hey panted out of breathe as he spoke. "Kid, get back into the room ok? We are currently in the middle of a siege. I can't have you wondering around with all the fighting going on!"

Grabbing Will's little hands, Will was pulled away from the giant bees as Hey-Hey dragged him back the way he came.

"Wait! Me wanted to know why the big bee-bees are bowing! Hey-Hey do you know something?" Although Will asked Hey-Hey questions, he was ignored the entire way until they returned back to the room where Will started.

Lightly pushing him in, Hey-Hey just simply said, "Don't mess around and stay here quietly until we push back the humans. Do not do anything else alright? I'm already screwed as it is."

Hey-Hey had red veins in his eyes as he stared at Will, it was rather creepy.

Nodding his little head, Will reassure Hey-Hey that he would definitely be a good little boy.

Holding his stare a bit longer, Hey-Hey turned around and walked out.

"Wait, Hey-Hey! Where is everyone else?" Will felt a strong need to have something to do while he waited, and since Hey-Hey clearly didn't understand the concept of passing time with entertainment. Well, he could only rely on his little family to help alleviate his boredom instead.

"Don't worry about them, just stay here and don't break anything! Also do not leave this room, am I clear?" Hey-Hey said over his shoulders, as he walked out the hole leading out the room became covered with a honeycomb wall.

'You did that on purpose! Stupid Hey-Hey locking the... door? Fine two can play at that game.'

Reaching inwards, Will lightly pulled on his mana pool and the threads that are connected to it. He could feel his minions noticing the gesture as they started pouring in their own mana pools into his through those threads. As Will watched, his mana pool grew larger and larger. The crystal-like material it was made of turned from a deep blue color to almost a clear white.

Honestly Will couldn't understand how he is able to see his mana pool inside himself, but after connecting with his minions for a while, Will was somehow able to instinctively do it. And there was also that weird thing with their original mana returning to their bodies after a certain period of time if he didn't try to stop it.

But then again, he guessed this was the "OP" skill he gained - though god clearly forgot to help him with that. But that just makes him a genius, who else could see their own mana pool?

Proud of his accomplishments, Will just waited until his minions sent in the last bits of their mana sands as well. Those little specks combined with the larger clear mana pool and disappeared from his sight.

Feeling his body strengthen was always the weird part about this mana pool combination technique. Sure he had more mana, but how does that affect his physical body? Will still wasn't sure what was going on, but he figured that since it didn't hurt him, well then he doesn't need to worry about it. The worst that could happen is him dying... again.

Flexing his hands, Will estimate that his body would probably now lift far more weight than he should be physically able to. The power of mana is awesome!

'I still can't do magic-magic yet, but I guess reinforcement magic is better then nothing.'

Will got ready to punch his way through the closed wall when it opened up in front of him.

Mr.Bee-Bee sat there waving an antenna on its head.

"Oh thanks, Mr.Bee-Bee! I was worried that this wall would be stronger then I thought and hurt my hands. You saved me the pain!" Patting the baby bee's head for helping him out, Will picked it up and carried it in one arm.

"Now let's go find big sissy and my minions! Forward march!" Pointing to the left corridor this time, Will walked with Mr.Bee-Bee as he went in search of his family.

Besides what is the worst that could happen?
