1 Make me a Plant
"I'm sorry!"
Said a voice. As I open my eyes, i see in front of me a shining ball of light.
"..." as i looked around me, i noticed that i'm in a dark space with the ball of light being the only thing to look at. And it seems I'm missing a body?
The ball of light continued talking "While I was fiddling with your asteroid belt, i accidentally set a teeny tiny small asteroid towards earth"
"... so i'm dead?"
"Yes."
"..." That made me speechless. 'Man, how unlucky must I be to get killed by a random small asteroid...'
"...Well... To be fair, the whole city you were in? it is now just a crater. So you're not really that unlucky... I think?"
"..."
'ARE YOU SURE IT WAS A TEENY TINY SMALL ASTEROID???' I screamed in my head. After all, the city I was in can be considered a metropolitan. If that whole city turned into a crater...
"Moving on from the fact I can hear what you're thinking and from the crater~ Do you want to continue to the next life or be reincarnated in another world?"
I moved on from the fact I died with the whole city quite easily and quite quickly too. 'I can be reincarnated? But wait... Hmm... You know what?' After thinking about all the reincarnation webnovels I used to read and judging by how much trouble some MCs have when they reincarnated, i decided "Let me go to the next life"
"I knew you would choose to reincar-" before the ball of light could finish, it flickered for a moment.
"wait, aren't you supposed to choose to be reincarnated? do you really want to go back to that world??"
'Huh... you know what? this almost-world-ending ball of light has a point.' That world sucked pretty bad. And now that I think about it, this might be my chance to fulfill the one desire I had.
"Okay, I changed my mind. What kind of world is it and what can I reincarnate into?"
"Nice! Well it's a world of magic and beasts. That's fine?"
"That would do."
"Good. Now you see, we have a vacant spot for a Demon King, a Hero, a King, and a Sage. What do you want to be?"
"Make me a plant."
The ball of light flickered again.
"WAIT! PLEASE! Please consider one of the options I gave you!"
"Plant."
"..."
"Plant."
"..."
"Sigh... why would you want to be a plant anyway?"
"The one desire I ever had in my previous world was to just be a plant that doesn't have to do anything to survive."
"... haaaa... fine... a plant that doesn't have to do anything to survive it is. It shall be done." the ball of light said. Though it had visibly dimmed when it said that.
If I had a mouth at the moment, I would be showing a smile.
Thank God I didn't have to become something like a Demon King or Hero. Just imagining the workload makes me want to pass on to the next life.
The ball of light continued "You'll be transported to a world of magic. Once there, you would be able to check your status by saying the usual cliché words; 'Information'."
"You mean 'status'?"
"That works too. Well, see you next time. Bye!"
After it said that, everything went dark.
And then after a while...
[Welcome to the World of Indradsia]
Hooo, that should be the name of the world I'm in. Not so bad, I like it.
Well let's try it out right away, 'Status!'
+ --- --- --- +
Name: –
Phase: Seed
Species: [Unnecessary to be displayed]
Synthesis: –
Stats:
[Unnecessary to be displayed]
+ --- --- --- +
'.....Well unnecessary your ass!'
Why do I even need you if you can't even show me my status?
No wait. If I think about it, since i'm a seed, my stats are probably very insignificant. I guess it makes sense that then.
But what about my name? My name should have been... it should have been... huh? why can't I remember my name? But also, for some reason I feel like I don't really care about it as well? Strange...
And Synthesis... I guess that should be related to how I would be getting the energy I need, right? Then shouldn't it be Photosynthesis there? I guess i'll find out more later...
Well with that out of the way, I should start acting like a plant.
As a seed, I can instinctively feel that the first thing I should do is grow roots. 'This should be part of the process called germination right?'
I didn't have to think much on how to do it. With just a thought, I could feel that very slowly, I am growing roots. At the same time, I could also feel that I'm just as slowly losing energy.
'This might be bad. If I don't find water, I might end up having to meet that ball of light again' but it looks like for now, all I can do is just keep spreading my roots in all direction in hopes to find water...
