Chapter 5 - New found mobility…

I could now move my branches. I COULD MOVE.... was the thought my mind was going through even though i wanted to level up more. I wanted to level up but at the same time i wanted to know to what extent i could move.

I wanted to be free from this godamn place. In my previous life i never thought that having ability to walk and move is so f*king awesome now that i am bound to a place. I get angry everytime i move and couldnot. It had already been more than 10 hours since i came to this place and couldnot even properly adapt the inability of movement.

But now, even though only branches, i could move. I was little happy but still angry at the inability of total movement. I closed my eyes again and started to meditate again. I need more experience points to get to next level and i was not aware of other ways of getting experience.

I closed my eyes and let the energy of the planet flow into me through the roots. I was suddenly disturbed by something. I was on verge of getting a large glob of energy but the disturbance of the moment made it vanish. I felt cheated and opened my eyes and there was a bug crawling up my body. I wanted to swat it at once but I couldn't. Even though i could move now, i was not fast enough to swat the little bug. Helpless, i decided to let it be for the moment.

I closed my eyes again and set my goal to level 10. Level 10 was the bottleneck as i was still a sapling with very little vitality and going to level 10 was the only way for me to grow. I wanted to gain much more attribute points and allot it all to the mobility stat as i would be able to walk again.

I stopped all my thoughts and started to meditate on my focused state again. I was eager as the 0.9 exp per hour increased to 1 exp per hour and 1.4 exp per hour in focused state increased to 1.9 per hour. This meant level 2 got nearer.

BUZZ...BUZZZ...BUZZZZ, Amidst my deep meditation I heard a buzzing sound. I wanted to ignore it as it was hard to focus while hearing that sound but i was unable to as i felt something seeping out my body.

I was perplexed. I felt something was wromg but couldn't point out. I opened my status window. It had been 4 hours since I last leveled up. I checked the status window for exp points. I should have had 4.5 exp points on there but there was only 3.8 exp points. I thought and thought but could only relate this anamoly to the start of the buzzing sound.

It was hard to gain exp points as it was but now it was even slowly being drained. I panicked. I couldn't even meditate well due to the anxiety of loosing experience points and the f*cking buzzing sound made it even harder....
