So it seems I've become something strange a plant with no name I make fake fruit filled with poison to level? What does this self reliant mean? And why did my skills level on there own and I did not get notified like last time? Eh so many questions. As I sit there wondering what the hell any of that meant I heard a noise. Small creatures ran in at a strange pace. They seemed to move at very fast speeds but with the posture of walking calmly. Humans? As they entered the area they seemed to start to set up a camp. A tent went up within seconds as they took it out of there bags. It was difficult to keep up with there actions as it seemed they moved far to fast. Were they super fast? Or was I just far too slow? After all I am a plant. Plants don't move at all and my body seems to grow at a insane rate. Maybe I just perceive it extremely quickly. Does that mean my life will pass in seconds? What is this? As I thought this the humans began to cut at and steal parts of my exposed roots. It hurt but I didn't care much and was more focused on my study nor do I know a way to fight back if I really move so slowly even if I tried to grab them and entangle them I'd just have more roots cut and likely be killed for attacking. Luckily my body regenerates quickly so the roots have started to regrow before the fire was even started. As the smoke rose from the fire my leaves withered slightly but I didn't seem to take any damage. After a certain period of time both the humans passed out. So I stretched my roots over and began to search through there stuff. Moving my point of view along them. I found a book!!! Food and other things are present as well. But do I eat? I know nutrients are needed but that's already in the blood soaked soils of this carnage filled cave of beasts that always seem to be fighting, right? As I thought about that monsters inched towards the tent filled with sleeping humans. I say inched towards but they of course seemed to be rushing from my perspective. Slowly I started setting up traps with my roots around the tent in the hopes of catching these beasts. I didn't exactly want to protect the humans but I didn't want them to die before I could learn more at least so I resigned myself to using them as bait while they slept. So as each monster came searching to kill the sleeping humans I used premade out pit falls to trap and strangle them one by one. My roots seemed to be turning most the monsters into fertilizer. Before long the tent began to open but there were many so I had to set them aside on the surface as I leveled out my pit falls. The humans were coming out... Crap... I can't move fast enough there are still corpses above ground... I got to focus on hiding my roots. My roots all began to tunnel themselves beneath the ground outside of view since pulling them back became impossible. Then I remembered the book. I quickly retrieved it with one of my roots as the humans stared at the few corpses of beasts that surrounded there tent confused and amazed. I hid the book away beneath the ground with my root.
As I watched the humans I also tried to read the book. The humans began to take apart the corpses bit by bit. I guess they intend to take away my kill. I don't particularly mind but still a little rude stealing from me after I had protected them. As I looked through the book I figured one thing out. These words... Aren't a language I know. Since I came to this world for some reason I had a seemingly infinite knowledge available about so many worthless things but now that I need that knowledge to work I find it lacking...
I began to research the language attempting to decipher the strange characters. I found pages with pictures on them but couldn't figure out the accompany words no matter how hard I tried. Some words seemed to represent the pictures they were next to so I continued reading on through the strange characters trying to use each word to decipher the others. I could only guess each character as I worked because there was no proof that the words next to the pictures even were about the pictures let alone the name of said thing. As I continued researching this strange language I felt a pain. One of my limbs had been stolen, my fruit. I quickly move my attention to the area and the humans were taking my fruit one by one stealing them. They planning to eat those, am I gonna be judged as evil by my window more? They grow back pretty quickly so it's not like I need to worry about it to much if they take them but I got the evil skill and murderer title from one kill of a human I don't want to know what happens if I kill more. I don't wanna feel that sadness again either.
Now that I think about it I should see how I am progressing. I turn my gaze to my old friend and look at the text she had to show.

Only 15... and why are so many skills so much higher? Deeply rooted makes sense because I am constantly growing and expanding but light? It's almost 100... and magical depletion? What's these magical abilities? Limitless magical growth? It's appears to be listed as max level.
