"What a big plant. What a big nut." His iris in his eyes expand as his emotion surge for curiosity he looks closer to investigate the strange plant, and the big nut besides it.
"For further investigation I, Screw— need to touch the nut." He stretches his arm and gently touch it. Feeling every inch of the nut excites him more.
"Hmm… What a big bulge, black nut. Should I smell it?" Without removing his plague mask, he drew closer and try to smell it.
*Sniff*
"Ahahahahahaha, that's stupid of me. I'm wearing a mask. Dang it." He slaps the nut as hard as he can. "I'm curious about this strange plant, especially this nut. It gives me a nostalgic vibe that I have already forgotten centuries ago."
''What do you think?'
"Alright then, it's decided we will take these nuts."
He reached to his belt and drew his knife; he unsheathed it while looking at the stem. Using his crook knife, he tried to cut the stem.
'Dang, it's hard to cut… it's just a stem.'
"Ahahahahahaha!" Screw laugh hysterically again and slap the nut several times until his satisfied.
"Of course! I'm using a crook knife." He waved the knife and laugh again, and again, and stop when his satisfied.
"A crooked knife and a stem bigger than my arms? How should I take the nut home?" He pondered for numerous minutes. Minutes turn into hour, and hour turn into days. He just sits there, unmoving. And three days past, Screw stay still and keeps on pondering how he will take the nut home.
*Slap!*
"What the flock! I just remembered." Screw fell silence, 'I don't have home.'
-----
The sun already in his peak hour, as he blessed the land from his light. Deep in the valley of unknown land resides a colorful flower, lush green of nature, and stream of freshwater flows.
Here a man wearing a pointed beak mask, a hooded dark-blue scarf and a worn-out black jacket seating besides a unique and unknown plant. He keeps on touching and investigating every crook and cranny of this plant. "Interesting."
The plant looks like a mini coconut tree, its stalks have a thorn like silk, but the most catching are the flowers.
The flowers are deep blue with glittering crimson red when light hits at the center, the style color are red, and long, but the stigma has a unique small gem embed at the center. Besides, the plant is a big nut, with a big stem.
'How should I deal with this nut?'
'I really want to take this nut.'
'How many days I've been here? Four? Two? Years?'
As he pondered, a brave idea popup inside the circus man. "Are you thirsty?" Screw suddenly get up, walk besides the flower and unzip his pants.
'Hehehehehehe… drink, my child.'
Screw unleashed the beast resting in his cage, as the head of mini draconic hulk pops out, say Ohayou Gozaimasu~ the ritual begins.
Aaaaaah! THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP! IT'S OVER NINE-THOUSAND!!
KAAAAH-
MEEEEEH-
HAAAAAH-
MEEEEEH-
WAVE!
The torrent of yellowish wave unleashed by the mini beast hits the very top of the flower. The embed stone, the whole body, Screw didn't spare. He waved and waved the hulk with so much pressure it transcends to the highest peak.
The power is not infinite, after several seconds the blessing stops. After the good deed he gives a satisfying look, Screw mesmerized by the beauty of his fresh artwork.
Screw squeezes his chin for a moment, "It's refreshing but-" before he finished his sentence a system prompt popped up.
*Ding*
[Sufficient Life Force]
*Ding*
[The seed of internal life has activated]
*Ding*
[A new life has born]
*Ding*
[Two spirits merging completed]
After a prompt appeared from the system, Screw got alerted. The plant gem that planted to its stigma started to absorb magicules through its surrounding, like a tornado that suffocates everyone outside its eye.
'Flock… Dang it!'
"This plant absorbing magicules like crazy. It seems this thing planned to dry me up." Screw didn't move a single bit, his just stay where he is and watching what unfolds in front of his eyes.
Tremor starts and the plant vines and roots started to move and attack everyone near it. A root tried to target his lower limb, "Not a chance." He jumped sideways before it hits him, and subsequently, a vine from his left side attempted to slap his forehead. He jumps backward and dodge with a single strand of hair.
Furthermore, he didn't counter-attack, he only dodged all the attack coming from the plant. Several hours pass, then the flow of magicule from the plant fluctuates. All the energy it absorbs now rashly transferring all into the big nut besides it.
The nut color change from dark brown to green. The attack stops all the vines and roots withered in instant, and Screw focus all his attention to the changing nut.
He pressed his chin, "It seems I'm wrong. This is not a nut, but instead a chrysalis."
[The assimilation of magicule and merging of two souls has been completed]
The system prompt popped up automatically and analyze the chrysalis.
[Will you force hatch it? Y/N]
Screw looked at the prompt board surprisingly, he didn't need to think about it, he just answered it with a yes.
"Yes." Screw said excitedly.
"Screw it. Nothing will loss if it's just a monster, I'll just burn it in to crisp."
In five hours, the color of the chrysalis turns from lush green to withered color. Screw walks closer to the chrysalis to investigate, but a crack surface at the center. "Here it comes," Screw prepared his crook knife and enter a battle stance.
A small hand comes out of the chrysalis, it struggles at first, but after gaining some strength it pushes its body out of the cocoon.
[!!!]
"!!!"
Screw was surprise and even the system was also surprise from the development. A child with a body of a two to three years old comes out from the chrysalis.
"Alyssa… what is this?" Screw asked while pointing at the child.
[No idea]
"A body of a two to three years old child, white long hair, and heterochromia eyes." Screw drew closer to the child filled with mucus.
He then asked, "Who are you?"
"Can you understand me?"
The child only looks at Screw. "Alyssa, any information about this child? Even its race?"
[None]
"Ooh, even the great Alyssa-sama doesn't know about the child race."
[I'm not omnipotent]
Screw stand-up and walks away. "I'm out of here."
[Leaving a child alone?]
[The system mocks you with contempt]
"Screw you! What should I do with that child? I'm not even married yet." He looked at the system prompt in disbelief.
[Virgin]
"Flock you! I'm not a virgin."
[When?]
[Where?]
[How?]
"I- I forgot… I forgot; you know? It has been—long, long ago. Of course, I'll forget about that."
[Hand?]
"Cat."
[Human?]
Screw groan, "Shut the flock up, Alyssa."
[The system greening and mocking you]
"Grr… alright, alright you win," Screw raised his hand as he surrendered. He turns back and walk toward the child. "She doesn't even understand me, and I'm not good at teaching." While thinking what he should do, the system prompt popped up a prompt suggestion.
[Language pack version one]
"Yeah, your right." Screw agreed to the system suggestion. He placed his hand into the head of the child. "Alyssa, transfer the language pack version one."
*Bzzt*
[System: Transferring the native language pack first version]
[System: Transferring complete]
[System: You can now communicate]
Screw gives a big thumbs up to the system. "Now kid, who are you?" The child tilts her head, "Don't know."
[Give her a suitable name]
Reading a prompt, Screw started brainstorming. "Gura." As the name flash in his head, "From now on, your name is Gura." Screw looks at the space, "Gura is a good name, and I'm not concerned about plagiarism of character or something. Nyahahahaha"
The girl also looked at the space, "Whose you're talking?"
[???]
He looked at the child eyes, "Nothing."
