Chapter 1 New Life

Next Chapter

The last moment of his memory was very vague, he seemed to be in the hospital room, surrounded by people talking about something, and he seemed to be unconcerned, his eyes were staring at the clouds outside the window without focus......

“……”

I tried to open my mouth to say something, but in the end I couldn't say anything.

After that, his vision dimmed.

Then, I don't know how long it took, he seemed to pass through a long darkness and appeared in this strange forest.

……

……

Fiddling with the soft tentacles above his head, he lifted his hind legs lightly and staggered onto the young leaves of an unknown plant next to him.

Two or three hours had passed since he woke up.

He is not very accustomed to the mosaic-like vision of insect compound eyes, because he can only see clearly at a distance of tens of centimeters and the picture is scattered, so the direction after the jump is always not very well controlled.

"Am I coming back to life?"

He seemed to have forgotten his original name, but if it was his current body, it would have been called Sistham.

……

Species: Green-tailed grasshopper (larvae)

Title: None

Name: Heatham

Rank: None

Rating: 2/15

Special Talents/Skills: [Numeric Code] (1/1), [Metamorphosis] (10/13), [Insect Adaptability] (5/21).

Derivative Skills: [Self-Information Generation] (1/1), [Insect Intuition] (2/5), [Limb Regeneration] (2/11), [Green Camouflage] (1/4).

……

He didn't know why he was called Systham, but after using [Self-Information Generation], the name that appeared on the light curtain was this, so he called himself that.

[Self-information generation] seemed to be his instinct, and it was as natural to use it as if he were lifting his limbs.

Sistemm naturally used this derivative when he first woke up in the forest.

Click further on [Self-Information Generation] to display more detailed information.

For example, if you click on Skills & Talents, the details of the skills and talents will appear.

Clicking on his race details will show the length and weight of his body, as well as a few other things.

……

Length: 0.2 cm

Weight: 0.01 grams

……

If the description is accurate, he would now be a grasshopper larva the size of a grain of millet.

The tentacles on the top of the grasshopper's head swayed back and forth, and they carefully felt the breath in the breeze.

Grasshopper larvae are very digestive, and their bodies will become hungry as soon as they stop eating them slightly.

He moved to the edge of the young leaf and continued to look around, and when he saw that there was no danger, he took a bite of the leaf beneath him.

The texture of the young leaves is hard and tasteless like wood, making it difficult for him to feel the desire to eat them.

Systham turned his head to look around, jumped to another unknown leaf of the plant, moved to the edge of the leaf again and surveyed his surroundings, and then went about feeding, this time with a satisfied look on his head.

The leaf tasted like a sweet apple to him, and it seemed that his body liked it.

So he took a big bite of it.

Ever since he woke up, his body has been hungry, as if he can't eat enough.

An hour or two ago, after restlessly eating young leaves several times the size of his body, he had risen to level 2.

After upgrading, his body has become larger unscientifically, and his physical fitness has improved in all aspects.

It's a bit like playing a game to level up, but he's a real presence of flesh and blood, and there seems to be a magical power in his body.

……

[Numerical Code] (1/1): Possesses the ability to numerically analyze and improve growth efficiency. Sisstem's inherent talent.

[Metamorphosis Growth] (10/13): Gain the ability to grow further through molting, and molt at levels 5 and 8. Some insects have a unique talent.

[Insect Adaptability] (5/21): A unique ability to adapt to the environment, which can be leveled up by obtaining food, and has a low probability of mutating when the level is raised, and has a chance to obtain other talents or derivative abilities. The unique talent of insects.

……

If Systm is not mistaken, the reason for the game-like change in his body is because of the [Numerical Code] talent.

It is precisely because of this [Numerical Code] ability that he is able to possess the derivative skill [Self-Information Generation], so that he will not be ignorant after being reborn as a grasshopper larvae.

However, this [numerical code] is completely uncontrollable by him, as long as he feels his spirit a little, it is as if he is in a sea of numbers composed of 0 and 1, making his spirit seem to explode.

However, although he can't control the two talents of [Metamorphosis and Growth] and [Insect Adaptability], he can clearly feel it, as if it is the flesh and blood of his body.

The former's [Transformation and Growth] is like the inheritance in the bloodline, which makes him naturally understand how a green-tailed grasshopper larva like him can become a green-tailed grasshopper adult.

The latter [Insect Adaptability] is a mysterious power attached to his bloodline, which he can't feel directly, but his derivative skills [Insect Intuition] and [Regeneration of Severed Limbs] exist because of [Insect Adaptability].

[Regeneration of severed limbs] gave Systm a feeling that even if his foot was broken, it would take him a few days to grow back.

As for [Insect Intuition], it is an ability similar to a sixth sense.

It is precisely because of this sixth sense that he successfully avoided the first crisis in this world.

At that time, he was happily nibbling on the young leaf under his feet, the unknown young leaf was the most delicious piece of the leaf that Heatham had eaten since he woke up, and it tasted like a big cherry in his previous life, which made him feel very happy.

But just as he was indulging in it, his tentacles felt a strange aura, and Sistemm was wondering, and his body trembled unconsciously and jumped violently......

On the back of the leaf suddenly crawled out a dead leaf-colored insect with two sickles, about a centimeter in size, which should be a praying mantis larva, as long as he jumped a little late, it would become a good meal for the little praying mantis.

It was precisely because of that crisis that Systm acted much more cautiously after that.

Each time you eat a leaf, you will move to the edge of the leaf and carefully watch the back of the leaf for predators such as praying mantis or ants.

And because of that crisis, Systm recalls some of the content of his previous life in Animal World, and he remembers the strange insect predators in the documentary.

The insect world often hides murderous intentions in peace, and those real crises cannot be avoided even if he has [insect intuition].

Maybe next time, he accidentally jumped on the leaf mantis disguised as a leaf and was eaten by prey.

……

Carefully watching the surroundings, Systm kept eating the young leaves of various plants to quench his hunger.

As a grasshopper larva, his chelicera are soft and can only eat the young leaves and buds of plants, but he is also so small that he can eat even a small leaf for a long time.

And just like that, after Sistemm once again ate a leaf that weighed about three or four times his weight, he upgraded again.

After a tingling sensation, its body grew a little larger again.

Although in the process of eating, his body also continued to grow, growing from 0.2 cm to 0.3 cm in a few hours, but after his level was raised to level 3, his body shape changed more significantly, directly from 0.3 cm to 0.5 cm.

And because of the upgrade, his [Insect Adaptability] (5/21) became [Insect Adaptability] (6/21); [Green Camouflage] (1/4) changed to [Green Camouflage] (2/4).

The improvement of [Insect Adaptability] is not very clear, but the upgrade of [Green Camouflage] has made Sistum's body change significantly, the color of his body is more emerald green, and the leaf vein pattern on his body is more clear and realistic.

………………

ps:

In order to avoid unnecessary comments to slap the face, the author posts some common sense at the end of the first chapter.

All bugs have blood and a heartbeat.

Grasshoppers are herbivorous insects, but they also eat meat and, if necessary, even their own kind.

The larvae of grasshoppers are actually not called larvae, they are called nymphs, and the larvae are just the name of completely metamorphosed insects after hatching from eggs.

In addition, locusts, crickets and other insects of the class Orthoptera, most of them will molt 5 times, but in this magical world, the author sets 2 molts for locusts, so don't argue with the author.
