Chereads / Rise of Celestial / Chapter 4 - Insect from Hell

Chapter 4 - Insect from Hell

After trying to properly accept the situation I'm in, now I gotta do something. I can confirm that I can roll around slowly on this hot an uneven ground. It's really hard to mover around at all. I'm trying to get away from this eruptions near me. This is like having your hands and legs bound with a blindfold on, and you try to roll around in the middle of nowhere while avoiding some landmines. That's how crazy it is. Mom didn't prepare me for this obviously!

SIGH. After a few minutes of just trying to get away from the eruptions, suddenly I start to roll down a slope. AWAWAWAWWA! Oh shit! Oh no! How long is this slopooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

--------------------------------------

With a loud thud, my momentum stopped when I hit a rock.

PHEW. Damn! That's a long roll. It's a good thing I didn't land in those eruption places.

NOPE! Spoke too soon. The ground under me trembles and I'm being sent high into the air.

SIGH. I'm making flags for myself. Great. Wow, this quite the airtime. I mean it's probably been a few seconds since I got launched. Hmm, what can a ball of flames do currently? Well, lets just leave my fate to whatever the hell is happening. Where am I gonna land? I hope it's not on something soft and squishy to break my fall....

SPLAT!!!

Apparently, when I do land, it is on something squishy and also crunchy, apparently. Eww. Somwhow it feels like I squash an insect. Touching around with my flame appendages(Yes, apparently I can control these flames of mine), The squashed creature below me seems like a cockroach...? AARAGHBLABABA!! Get it of off me!

I shiver in disgust as I slowly roll away from it. This is truly hell. Only hell would have this kind of cockroaches. It's huge and has spikes all around it's back. Once again shivering and rolling further away from the cockroach, suddenly, I have a mild headache. For some reason I'm starting to know a deeper understanding of this cockroach's lifestyle and body structure. I mean, a really deep knowledge to the point I know how it's cell is structured. What the hell did the cockroach did to me!? Why would I want to know more about your disgusting lifestyle? Is this it's way of getting revenge after I killed it?

Great. Now, what am I gonna do with this information? Delving a bit deeper into it, I found how the body functions basically. Having six legs for moving, antennas for detecting smell, hair on it's body for detecting air currents and having eyes. Hmm, kinda jealous that this guy have eyesight. Wish I could I have it.

Suddenly, my whole spherical body begin to feel itchy. What is happening now? I begin to feel my body slowly changing. Growing six legs, a head, spiky body and antennas......Oh shit! I'm turning into the cockroach. YUCK!

With my changing body, the world around me could finally be seen through the compound eyes of a cockroach. All around me are rocks and cavern walls. All lighted by glowing pits of lava.

So, this how my surrounding looks. It's much worse than I imagine. Much worse. The eruption are coming from those lava pits and they spew out their contents into the air and making the cave I'm in brighter.

Looking down at my cockroach body, I could only shiver once more at this development.
