Maggot

Everything is still black.

I try to move. It seems like I am some monster with no arms or legs.

It feels really hot and I feel something biting a part of my body.

I shake it off.

Am I a snake?

Let's see if I can check my status.

S T A T U S !

[Status:

Species: Maggot

Lv 1

HP: 4/5 (Burning)

MP: 0/0

Strength: 2

Armor: 1

Speed: 1

Skills:

Nibble Lv 1, Crawling Lv 1, Acid Puke Lv 3

Skill Points: 0]

It looks like I am able to check all my skills, my species, and burning. Burning seems to effect me the most atm so I check it first.

[Burning: Status effect that deals 1 damage every 5 minutes]

Damn! So every 5 minutes I will take 1 damage. I need to heal fast so I can stay alive. I like the extra challenge but it will go to waste if I can't overcome it.

I will check Acid Puke next since it seems the most overpowered. I hope God didn't give me some overpowered ability that makes my life easier. Then everything would be a waste.

[Acid Puke: A typical ability that baby maggots are born with. Anything that is eaten by the maggot will come out as acid dealing a small amount of damage. Will not work if there is nothing in the stomach.]

Good thing it isn't that strong. But it might come in handy. I'll check crawling next.

[Crawling: Grants the ability to move body at a slow speed.]

Ok. So it looks like I'm slow. Crawling allows me to move so it is neccesary.

I'll check my last skill, nibble.

[Nibble: An attack that deals a small amount of damage from a mouth without teeth]

Nibble and crawling were self explanatory and acid puke is also kinda self explanatory. It looks like my skills aren't that good but they will get stronger.

Maybe.

Well last I should check my species.

The maggot.

[Maggot: The baby form of a house fly. A weak monster that usually needs to fight with its kin in order to evolve into a house fly. Once evolving into a house fly it usually produces more maggots before dying within a day of its birth]

So I am expected to die today. Let's defy fate!

Well before that I need to fight with the rest of the maggots here. I now know what the nibbling was earlier.

It's time for a BATTLE ROYALE!

It's kinda like the maggot hunger games, I suppose.

I may not be able to see but I can move and feel. It's time to kill my brothers and sisters. Such is the way of life.

I hope eating brings my health back.

Even if they are my kin.

I move my head searching for some other maggots. My head rams directly into one.

I nibble with my heart and soul.

Although it doesn't do much damage us maggots are weak so it dies quickly.

[Defeated Maggot Lv 1]

[Gained 1 EXP]

Mwahahahaha!

This maggot is my first victim!

I nibble on the corpse a little and digest some of it.

It tastes disgusting but my victory tastes delicious.

Oh the juxtaposition!

I have finally earned a victory that wasn't handed to me for free.

Take that God!

This was just the first of many victories I will achieve by my own will.

This is the True Power of Azabache!

Not just a powerful demon lord but someone who can defeat opponents without needing powerful tools.

Well enough rambling.

I need to hunt for more maggots.

All of us maggots were all born in close proximity so there are probably a lot of maggots nearby.

It's hunting time!
