2 Changes
Its been a while now since I've been stuck between being asleep and awake. It appears my body is going through another change. I felt my wings grow larger and denser seeing as they started to feel like that held actual weight. Though I couldn't tell what they looked like I really wanted them to maintain their butterfly-like appearance.
But this wasn't the only change happening inside my body I felt my fangs fall out then dissolve in my mouth, it left a taste that could only be described as bitter and caused a numbness inside my mouth. This wasn't at all what I wanted, but I shouldn't have worried seeing as larger ones grew back in just a few hours.
Another change though I haven't paid much attention to them were my ears as they started to change my ears as well. Before were just protruded ear holes. (like frieza's) But now it seems like I've gained tens of thousands of layers inside each vibrating at different frequencies allowing me to hear just about everything. It also seems like a layer has been dedicated to protecting my ears from damage.
The changing process was quite interesting, but after some time the only other changes that happened were a few changes happening inside my body that I really had no clue about.
But just as I was going to wake up, I felt a tingling right above my butt… "a tail" I thought while waiting in anticipation. It felt like an hour or two had gone by but just as I was going to give up, I felt what would be my tail start to grow. It wasn't very fast, and I anticipated that at he rate it was going it'd be done in a day or two. But I had no interest in leaving my cocoon until I was sure I was ready.
My mind stopped thinking about the changes going on in my body. I instead choose to focus on my hearing deeming that to be an interesting skill. It required a lot of concentration to focus in on a particular Intecqu, seeing as there appear to be thousands if not more Intecqus here. The Intecqu who I chose to focus in on was in a cocoon right next to mine. He appeared to be nearing the end of his life, I won't pretend that I was sad or anything other than curious. As he died, I decided it was best to on as it appeared that I couldn't use eco location to single in on him anymore.
As I scanned through the other Intecqus I noticed that none of them looked like me, which is strange seeing as other than the king and his royal guards everyone else of a particular generation should be of the same genetic makeup and as such should look very similar. But as I scanned all of them they all appeared to not have wings, tail or fangs.
I couldn't scan the king seeing as he had some type of protective barrier around him, but as I scanned his royal guards, they too didn't have wings, tail or fangs. Though most of them had a bulkier build than the other Intecqus and me. They all appeared to have a similar body, consisting of a large chest. Thick like body armor with long slim arms and legs that appeared to be a thick skin but not my body armor.
Their heads had the shape of a square with eyes resembling insects, other than me they did appear to have razor-sharp teeth with actual lips instead of the sealed look of my mouth, "strange why am I different" I thought as I noticed another peculiar thing about those my generation. They appeared to have an antenna as ears. But after some time of getting bord watching them slowly grow, I noticed that my tail had increased in its growth rate. It now became so long that if I didn't force it to wrap around me it'd risked destroying the cocoon. "It still growing," I thought while waiting in anticipation for the final "form".
[Host as finished his incubation. If host wishes system advises leaving the incubator, seeing as no further benefit will be gained from remaining inside]
You need not tell me system as I already could feel my body letting me know it was time to "be born". But before that my lovely system show me the store. I said feeling my tail which appeared to be oddly thick and didn't feel much like a tail but instead another more sensitive arm, "odd"
I thought as I started feeling it. wow, it appears to have billions of tiny sensors all over it allowing me to constantly manipulate it at will and sense things near it. But that wasn't the strangest part, it seems like instead of a pointy normal tail end I have what felt like another hand as the end of my tail. Three large fingers could be felt like the makeup of my tail end. Each finger with a sharp claw attached to it, also my tail was oddly thick and extremely hard yet very flexible. But enough with that, let's pay attention to the system.
As I scrolled through the store, I saw many things we didn't have on earth like a planetary exploration vehicle, it appeared to be hoovered vehicle of some kind with mapping system installed. But as my mother always said "do not be distracted by beautiful things" aww how I miss the cold eyes of my mother. But in all seriousness, from what I gathered from the memories ill need to not only be strong but also help my people rise from the destitute we are currently in.
From what I can see I need to be a leader who can best everyone but also provide them safety and security. It shouldn't be hard to create my own faction seeing as that's what has happened to the previous generation as the queen grew weaker.
"Hahahaha sorry my lovely queen but I appear I will need you to submit to my rule"
"System show me books about craftsmanship, particularly long-ranged weapons. Take into account what I can do. Seeing as I've yet to gain a strong grip on the people of this species."
[host here is a list of black smiting books. Also host you have the beginner's package to open which will allow you to begin your journey.]
"oh, system you would allow me a beginner package? Hahaha, how kind of you."
[yes of course as "system" has been programmed having the host start out with nothing could lead to host early death. "System" does not want that. Also, this will be the "system's" last time helping the host in this way do use what's given to you wisely.]
"oh, that last part sounded like a warning…... or maybe a threat hahaha. Stop I'm going to laugh myself to death hahaha system give me the beginners package pretty please"

Oh, let's see what's change it appears that I now have 40 attribute points, 20 skill points, and 50 store currency. Now that's something I can work with.
"system place five points in each skill please and thank you. Also, sorry I will be very demanding but could you please place 20 attribute points into agility and another 20 into strength please and thank you. Another thing to buy the skill books "simple wood-crafting" for 10 and "amateur armor crafting" for 15 and lastly id like "hand mastery" for 5. Also, I was wondering how I increase my HP and MP?"
Wow, I noticed but I sound like a demanding child, I'm not used to asking for so many things. Well, let's just see how the "system" reacts.
[All requested actions from the host have been carried out. As for the HP, and MP. Host can only increase those using either use system currency or some other non-system related means.]
"Alright, system open status screen please and thank you. I'd like to take a look."
