"Energy and persistence conquer all things"- Benjamin Franklin

[The user currently is a worker bee, you should change your consciousness back to the flower, the bee will go to its colony, when that happens you may infect the whole colony, bees share similar immune systems so it will be easier the more you infect]

 

‘That sounds like a good plan]

 

Asher transfers his consciousness back to the flower and tries to rest from his mental fatigue but suddenly remembers something…

 

‘System, display the information of (Poison: weak)’

 

[(Poison: weak) cost 10mp, body fluid of the host will become temporarily poisonous and may contain a small amount of the plague that the host is infected with]

 

‘With that out of the ways, all that is left is relax’

 

-1 hour later-

 

‘ System you think that the bee is back in the hive?’

 

[ Most likely yes, move your consciousness to the bee to verify]

 

Asher does as the system said and moves his consciousness to that of the bee and finds himself surrounded by a lot of bees, it seems the bee has indeed arrived at its hive.

 

‘Well let's put the (Infection) skill to use!’

 

-2 hours later-

 

[Congratulations you have infected “bee”]

[Congratulations you have infected “bee”]

[Congratul-]

[Con-]

[...]

[Congratulation you have infected ‘queen bee”, you have unlocked the skill(Multi-Thought Process), the skill (poison: low) has leveled up to (poison: low lv3), you leveled up]

 

‘Wow, things went from 0 to 100 f*** quick….’

 

‘Status’

 

{ [Asher] [level 6]

 

[Forms unlocked: (bacteria)]

[Personal skills: (Forceful duplication), (Infection), (Multi-Thought Process)]

[Infecting skills: (Photosynthesis), (Poison: weak lv3)]

[Life forms infected: animals-7.5k]

 

 [divine curse]

             [Jagdees divine blessing]

             [Slipshod divine blessing]

                                                              }

 

[ Due to a high amount of insect life being noted on the animal category, the animal category will be divided into, Animal and Insect]

 

‘ That is cool and everything but what do you think my second step should be?’

 

[Get eaten]

 

‘What?’

 

[Let me elaborate some more, you unlocked (Multi-Thought Process), which lets you use many bodies at a time, and you have 7.5k bee bodies, you could let a few bees get eaten by a predator then you will be able to infect it through its stomach, but it will be hard]

 

‘... Tell me the description of (Multi-Thought Process)’

 

[(Multi-Thought Process) allows the user to do multiple mental things at the time, it can be used to use different bodies at a time, current max capacity of bodies: 5]

 

‘Ugh… fine let's get eaten then’

 

-10 minutes later-

 

Asher flew for a few minutes using 5 bees, it found a small pond and got eaten by a frog that was nearby, Asher commanded the other four bodies to be eaten by the same frog

 

-5 minutes later-

 

congratulations you have infected “frog”, you have unlocked the skill, (Jump)]

 

-3 hours later-

The same process repeated 7 more times, but while traveling he got attacked by 3 rats that one-sidedly eat the 8 frogs that asher has infected

 

[ You have infected 3 rats, you leveled up, the skill (Jump), has leveled up, (Jump lv2)]

 

[ The host has a status too you know? once you have infected a host you will have access to that status window]

 

‘Heh? really? okay, then I guess it is something like, host status?’

 

{ [na] [2] [Rat] 

 [Lv 2/4] [8] [1] [5/5]

 

Vit-2

Int-1

Agi-2

Str-2

 

[Racial skills]

   [Plague-Carrying]

[skills]

   na

[status effect]

   na

                          }

 

‘Wait, wait, you just threw a lot of information at me, first, why is my status different from the rats? explain what all of this means and tell me the description of the skill (Plague-Carrying)’

 

[The reason that your status is different relies on the fact that the system you are using is different is that your system is a more advanced form, to put it into different words it would be equivalent to comparing a Nokia and a smartphone]

 

[ The system provides the information on, name, age, race, current level, and max level, health, defense, current mana and maximum mana capacity, stats, skills unique to a certain race, skills of the host, and any status effect the host is on]

 

[The current host does not have a name, the race of the host is a rat, the current level of the cost is 2, and its max level is 4, most living beings cannot exceed their max level, a special exception are monsters, once they exceed their max level they will evolve into a higher race, the health shows how much damage the host can take, defence is the natural immunity to the user, this information is available to only the user’s system, the mana is, as the name implies, the current amount of mana the host has, the max amount of mana is the current capacity of mana the host has, this capacity can increase without any special requirements, the stats window is how much, vitality, intelligence,agility, and strength the host has, this information is only available to the host’s system, racial skills are skills specific to a race, some races don't have skills, but upon contact with the user system they may awaken a unique skill, skills are the abilities of the host, status effect are either positive or negative effects on the host]

 

[(Plague-Carrying), the host can carry a higher amount of plague before dying ]

 

‘Hm… that is a lot to take in… why didn't I absorb the racial skill?’

 

[To absorb a racial skill the user has to stay a long time inside the host]

 

‘’Why does this rat have 10 mp while the other rats have only 5’?’ 

[ all living beings have some variation, in this case, one of the rats has a higher amount of mana]

 

‘Hoh, this will be very useful’

 

‘ System, how long would it take to regenerate 10mp?’

 

[It varies from living being to living being, but for this rat, it would be around 10 minutes]

 

Even though Asher was in the body of a rat, it was very clear that he was smirking, who knows what kind of plan he has?

 

-70 minutes later-

 

There was a very hungry Silver Wolf, an F class monster, it was between the bottom of the food chain on its habitat, so it decided to wander further to the outskirts of the forest, humans often reside there because it's safer than deeper on the forest, but the wolf was too hungry to think about that, as he was searching for a prey to eat, it saw a rat, the wolf didn't miss the chance and chased the rat, once it cached it and was munching on it, he saw two more rats in front of him, one was sleeping it seemed sick and the other was bitten to death, if the wolf had been smarter it would have noticed something strange but its hungriness won over it and it's only though was ‘Jackpot!’ it proceeded to eat the rats, a decision it would never have the capacity to regret.
