Huh? What? So suddenly!? But why!? It's safe down here! Just let me live my short life in peace!
[Warning! If you do not complete the {Urgent I Quest} then you will die]
"So what? I'm dead anyways! What's the point?"
[Recalibrating..]
[Warning! If you do not complete the {Urgent Quest} you will be put through unimaginable torture in the afterlife]
"Fine, stop bugging me about it, I'll go. If I'm destined to die anyways I at least want my death to be a nice one."
[2 Hours Until Failure of Urgent Quest]
As I started to swim up to the surface I noticed that many of my siblings had hatched and had also begun this process, it must be some important part of their life cycle or something, as I continued to swim up i began hearing some excited voices around me, likely my siblings but their excitement soon turned to fear, I looked around for the source of this fear and there it was, that damned trout again, determined this time to not run in fear, I decided to stand my ground, what's the worst that could happen, we're pretty much even now right?

Nooooope! I'm getting outta here! How the hell is it so strong already! It's gotta be a different one than last time right? Right? It's almost evolved already! it's four levels higher than me! What the hell is wrong with this things levelling system! Well not like I'm complaining that it's easy to level but, I didn't know it was that way for other creatures too, I thought it was something from the system! Maybe we're just both creatures so weak that it's jokingly easy to level! That's gotta be it!
As I quickly kept darting towards the service in a last mad dash for my life, I realised that the trout was preoccupied with all my siblings, "thanks guys! I'll make sure your sacrifices are not in vain!" It saddened me to see my entire family get massacred but oh well, "survival of the fittest and all that! Gotta be done sorry!"
If I had a choice I would've done this at night time but this stupid quest is pretty much forcing me to do it now, ah whatever no point complaining, as my head shot through the surface of the water, I felt a tingling sensation all throughout my body? Exoskeleton? I'm unsure, well I felt it somewhere anyways.

"Oh! I can fly now sweet! I was wondering about that! My wings were under some type of casing before, but I'm starving…Christ on a crutch…where'd all the food I ate earlier go? Is my stomach some sort of bottomless pit or something?"
[Your Energy Loss Is A Result Of The System Commencing Evolution Instantaneously]
[It Is Not Naturally How Species Evolve, It Is Only Possible As A Result Of The System]
"Maybe I judged you too harshly, if you can do that then maybe you aren't so bad, I'm not sure why you're fighting so hard to keep me alive even though I'm dying by the end of today anyways, but thanks." I'd reply to her with a smile
[If You Die, I Will Also Die, It Is In My Best Interest]
My smile would instantly fade "oh it's self preservation, of course it is, whatever let's just get something to eat"
[Quest: Regain Your Energy, Eat Some Food!]
[Reward: Unique Skill: Conceal]
"Yea yea, I'll get some food in a minute I need to check out this shop thing you mentioned, Shop! Store! Open the goddamn thing damn it!"
[I Will Not Open The Store Unless You Ask Nicely]
"Ask nicely? Huh? Since when have you ever been polite to me? Just open the thing!" id shout, getting irritated now
[Fine.]
Ah hmm…this might take a while to decide on the ones I want.. oh there's a sort feature..and it seems you pay with those stat points from earlier..what if I sort by free..?
[There Is Currently 10 Free Skills]
10 huh? That's quite a lot considering, and currently? Does that mean the shop restocks with different ones? they're probably quite weak though..might as well get them anyways no point in not doing it.
{Free Skills}
[Conceal]
"Seriously? You we're going to give me a free skill for my quest reward you better change that."

[Recalculating Quest Reward…]
[New Reward: Unique Skill: Food Store]
"Well still a pretty meh skill but it's better than getting scammed, not like this quest is hard though so I'll take what I can get" id start to skip across the water towards the shoreline where I had spotted some vegetation, whilst doing so I decided to test out [Skill Merge]
