Chapter 20 - 18- cucumber-some evolution

(A. N. Hahaha, yes! I have managed to find a way to use this pun, and in the future, I'll USE MANY MORE!

P.S cumbersome = troublesome )

I'll follow my own path and evolve using my instincts.

It's true that the already existing paths are good but they're just not what I want for myself.

I want to do more than just survive, I used to be a human, a being with ambitions, there's no way I'll just live on and be satisfied.

I want to explore the world, learn new Magic's, unravel ancient secret.... Not fighting though, I don't want to be sent to the reincarnation cycle so soon.

As such, none of the 3 options really fits me.

The 'fortress' one will bound me to a certain area, and while I don't mind taking over the surrounding terrain... I don't want to be bound to it.

The 'necrofiliac hunter' will allow me to travel... But it'll make it so I need to 'parasite' a daily quota of other living beings, effectively making all my effort to find a safe place uselles.

There's no point in even mentioning the 'hive-mind', with how much time it would take for me to unlock it, I'd already have ran out of potential by that point.

"So you chose to go through with it?"

"Great! Alright, usually I can just say profound things like 'look into yourself' or 'bring out the inner you', with a deep voice."

"*puipuipipipi* But somethings wrong with that head of yours, so... I'll have to put in some extra effort."

... Thanks for the compliment.

" Alright, first step, is... Stop seeing. "

Hmm?

" You know the skill that allows you to see even though you don't have eyes? "

" Turn it off. "

How do you know about it though?

" Kid...you've got no eyes, usually plants can only tell left from right by their third evolution."

Oh, makes sense. With a mental stretch....

*tack*

... The world goes blank .

It was weird seeing, well nothing, unlike what people would thinks, it's not black... Or white for that matter.

It's just.... Nothing, it's not a color or a though, just a fact I know deep inside me, 'I can't see', 'my soul can't see' and 'my world is blank'.

Maybe it's because of that, but my other senses seem to have been augmented.

I look to a blobe of aura, in the otherwise world of nothingness, and it said.

"Good, now do the same thing, to every other one of your senses.... And wait."

Whait for what?

"*puipuipipi* For what? FOR ANYTHING AT ALL! *puipuipipi*"

I didn't quite get what he meant, but I complied non the less.

And so it all stopped, my aura vision stopped, my soul earing, my soul vision stopped, my sense of touch somehow stopped as well, even my sense of time seemed to have stopped.

I guess the wren did something, I don't remember having the ability to turn some of this senses off.

In fact, now that I think about it, i don't remember Much. This place is messing with my brain, thinking... Is... Hard.

.

.

Have I ever asked the wren for his name?

.

.

What am I doing here in this place again?

.

.

I should probably get a new name.

.

.

AH, that's... Something.

.

.

.

Yes, something is there, I don't know what it is, I don't much of... Well anything for that matter.

But I know.... That I WANT IT!

Hmmm... Makes sense, I hate fighting, and I'm already using my spikes as spike-zookas, this is just taking things a step further.

That was my last though before I woke up.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

(A. N. Status chap will be updated tomorrow... BECAUSE IT'S THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!)

"FUCK WAS THAT!"

"Really? Your first words where, 'fuck was that'?

*puipuipipipi* I should write them down.

Where did you even learn them from?"

"What was that thing I felt ?"

"Didn't I already tell you? Something."

"... Alright."

I get it, just like it's impossible to explain the nothing... It's also impossible to explain the something.

I was just hoping that the wren would be able to do so.

Hmm?

"Hey wren."

"Speak spiky . "

"What's your name?....I really got to come up with a better name for myself. "

"Ashtar. What's the problem with spiky? I think spiky sounds good."

"It's childish. It makes me think of a pet or a young child."

"*puipuipipipi* That's cause you're a child kiddo."

"... What?"

"Of course you are!

1)you're weak

2)I give you a place to stay

3)you're young

And lastly... Your as ignorant about the world as they come!

If you're not a child, then what are you?"

"I'm a small cactus!"

"... Was that a joke with the [pup] fase?"

"Yes."

"You're not very good at it."

"..."

"*sigh* just tell me your status, I'll help you train."
