Chapter 2 - Unexpected meeting.

Looking back, there was only one ash from the explosion. To the left, to the front, and to the right, there was only one dense thicket. The trees were so tall that the tops of some of them could not be seen because of the clouds. They had their own eyes and mouths. Trees with their branches grabbed elves, humans, fairies, tore off their limbs and swallowed them. The scariest thing I've seen is giant spiders, which are about 10 meters long. I could see all their little details. Their hair, their 24 eyes, their fangs, and their pairs of legs stirred my heart (Richard was an arachnophobe). It seemed to me that these monsters could easily eat a giant eagle.

At first I thought that they were just very big, but after thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that I was very small and I was very happy about it. Since I probably won't be eaten by that horrible spider and they aren't really that big. So I decided to eat the grass for a while and then decide what to do.

It was my 15th day in this terrible world. I was already used to watching these terrifying murder scenes. Sometimes I tear out small dugouts and travel underground. I've already bought my ears so I won't die of boredom in silence. Sometimes I eat the leaves and watch the trees dismember their victims and slowly swallow them. The days were fun, but buying other upgrades is very expensive. I decided now to increase my size to 1 centimeter in height. It costs 1000 leaves (I have now eaten 587 leaves).

"New task!" Suddenly, the system spoke.

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I was ready to kill this system.

"You have to eat 10,000 leaves and you'll get the bones!" The system told me.

"By the way, I can still read your mind." The system added with a grin.

And that's where my journey to the elven forest begins, as there are more trees with leaves. And here there are almost only bare trees.

When I reached the border of the forest of horrors and the elven forest, I saw a big difference between them. The forest of Horrors was full of spiders, living trees, and evil fairies( fortunately, I didn't get to meet them up close). And the forest of the elves is colorful, filled with picturesque trees( some red, others purple, some blue, but mostly green). Beautiful and cute fairies fly, beautiful elves and elf girls went to the parks. I was very envious. I wanted to crawl up to them and somehow tell them that I was human and almost the same as them! Live in a normal house and eat delicious food. But after these beautiful dreams, I remembered that an ordinary worm, as well as from the manga I read, I remembered that elves are arrogant to people and it is better to avoid them altogether. But choosing between these woods, I chose to live in Elvish.

Entering the forest, 2 fairies looked at me sharply. I shuddered. I thought that everyone had discovered me, they realized that I was a human and now they would mock me, but when they flew up to me, the fairy took me by the hand and put me on the grass. I exhaled. I started eating grass.

The next day, I decided to buy my teeth for 500 leaves.

"The purchase was successful! Now you can eat 1 oak leaf in 1 hour, instead of 2 hours! The speed has doubled!" The system responded to my purchase.

I was overjoyed and decided to go to the main tree. I met a lot of elves along the way, but no one reacted to me. I was glad of that. Suddenly, a beetle peeks out from behind a flower. It had 2 huge horns, folded wings, 6 pairs of legs, and 2 tiny eyes. I would call it the "moose beetle". He screamed. I felt uneasy. The beetle started walking towards me. He threw me in the front with his elk horns, stepped back, and ran at me...
