Grow Faster! - 2

<p>Black felt refreshed as the tree neutrients were poured into his body or maybe pumped into his body slowly.<br/><br/>after an hour, his mass and juice both went up by one. As he had enough mass and juice inside of his body, he can now grow another organ. He thought about the next organ carefully. If his thoughts were right, the [Poison seeds] would be classified as weapon and the [Sensory Hair] would be accessory.<br/><br/>As he was thinking about the pros and cons of the organs, he felt a sharp pain his skin. Something was digging into the skin of the fruit. Black felt his outer layer which was a hard layer of fruit skin get torn down and ripped off. First a small hole and then slowly the creature was eating it's way inside him.<br/><br/>He had 6 mass and 6 fluid right now, He made the choice right away. He selected [Poison seeds] And the fluid and mass started being pulled to certain points on his body. there were four such seeds being generated.<br/><br/>what is this thing!? Is it an insect? or maybe a caterpillar!? damn i didn't think about small insects at all! is this because of cosmic bad luck!? I didn't sense anything until the insect started eating me! System! give me something! kill the damn insect!<br/><br/>[Host can only prey to the god that insect would eat one of the poison seed before the mass and juice runs out]<br/><br/>If black had a face, it would be pale right now as he pulled up his status once again. The insect was eating it's way inside to the juicy parts of the fruit as black could feel whatever it was using to chew it's way inside was about to bite into the seed soon.<br/><br/>[Status]<br/>Name - Black<br/>Species - Fruit<br/>Race - Devil's Tomato<br/>Level - 1<br/>Status<br/>Mass - 1/10<br/>Juice - 1/10<br/>Weapons - None<br/>Armour - [Thorns]<br/>[Skills] [Shop] [Encyclopaedia] [Inventory]<br/><br/>As the seeds were forming, Five points from mass and juice were already gone into the seed creation. <br/><br/>after what felt like an eternity, the insect finally bit into half formed seeds. Now it was a long waiting game for black as he endured the horrible experience of being eaten alive bit by bit. He didn't feel much pain but the experience was still horrible for anyone.<br/><br/>He felt his soul leave his body when he saw his juice status hit 0. His life was hanging by a thread as he focused on absorbing neutrients faster from the tree. The insect ate haft the seed in under a few minutes when it's tiny body finally reacted to the poison. The insect's dumb brain couldn't figure out what happened but it's eating speed got slower and slower until eventually it stopped moving.<br/><br/>as the insect died, it was stuck inside black's body but that wasn't a concern for black as he was busy looking at system prompt.<br/><br/>[Killed Red ladybug - Exp +1]<br/>[Requirment met, unlocked predator part]<br/>[Digestion Gland]<br/><br/>Black first Pulled up details of poison seeds.<br/><br/>[Poison seeds]<br/>Seeds that have bitter life juice of the devil's tree. Not a Potent poison but for those with weak digestion, can be deadly.<br/><br/>He was relived that it was only a ladybug and not a huge ass caterpillar, or else with caterpillar's digestive ability, he would be dead by the time caterpillar even felt pain in it's stomach. He was curious about the new organ. At least now he knew the direction for progress, killing insects may be a source of experience. He pulled his status again.<br/><br/>[Status]<br/>Name - Black<br/>Species - Fruit<br/>Race - Devil's Tomato<br/>Level - 1<br/>Exp -1/10<br/>Status<br/>Mass - 1/10<br/>Juice - 1/10<br/>Weapons - [Poison seeds]<br/>Armour - [Thorns]<br/>Accessory - None<br/>[Skills] [Shop] [Encyclopaedia] [Inventory]<br/><br/>Black Noted down not to grow another organ unless he had enough mass and juice as it can be dangerous when the points for mass and juice were deducted. For rest of the day, he rested and felt his mass and fluid finally recover.<br/><br/>A small surprise came when after few hours of continuous concentration on Pulling the resources from the mother tree.<br/><br/>[Skill Upgraded - Fruit of the Devil's Tree lv1]<br/>[Passive]<br/>In the forrest of Gragon, there are rare trees called devil's tree. As a part of the tree, you get 1 mass and 1 juice every hour from the tree.<br/>[Active]<br/>Recive 0.1 Mass and 0.1 Juice every hour with continuous concentration.<br/>Cooldown - Three times every day.<br/><br/>The new development surprised black. He had one more active skill. of course this skill was best used right after growing an organ. He had used up his three chances already so he couldn't activate it again but at least it would keep upgrading if he keep using it everyday.<br/><br/>after what felt like five to six hours, black saw his mass and fluid reach 10 and 9 respectively. He immediately chose to develop the next organ, which was digestive gland.<br/><br/>Black felt his insides move again as instead of gathering at one spot, a small cavity was generated inside of the fruit. The cavity was then slowly filled digestive juices one by one as the whole process lasted a few hours.<br/><br/>By now, Black was used to loneliness. He was alone in his spaceship back in the Cosmos and he survived just fine there. Pressing a few buttons here and there every few months. In front of that, this waiting game was nothing.<br/><br/>[Digestive gland]<br/>Devil's Tomato is a Predatory fruit. You can digest biomass thrown inside your digestive gland. able to move inside the body at will.<br/><br/>Black immediately moved the gland over to the dead body of the lady bug. The juices worked their magic and after an hour, the body of the ladybug was gone. He would recive pings of notifications every 15 to 20 minutes.<br/><br/>[Recived +1 mass]<br/>[Recived +1 juice]<br/>[Recived +1 mass]<br/><br/>[Absorbed first insect, level requirements not met, Unable to unlock upgrades.]<br/><br/>black recived another notification as he speculated. Maybe the upgrade is in the terms of skills or something else? who knows? He knew what to do next and how to do it.</p>
