Weed Reincarnation ~ Carefully Raised in the Elf Village ~

Prologue 

(TL: By Gust)

Because I think of myself, I am ... but I didn't know when "I" existed.

　Thinking in this way, perceiving oneself and the surroundings other than oneself, there is an ego called "I". However, there is almost no memory of myself, how the ego "I" that should exist here sprouted, how I lived until then.

　Who am I ...?

　No, what am I ...?

　I think it's hard, but I don't think I can get the correct answer.

　Because I feel like I used to stand and walk on two legs and speak words. I feel like I was wearing clothes, and I feel like I was working. I feel like I had a family and I feel like I had a house. There are many creatures like me around me, and I feel like they formed a group called society.

　I don't know why, but according to the knowledge that exists in me, it's a human being. But now I was clearly in a shape that couldn't be human.

　The dense treetops grow roots in the humus of the soft forest in the dim forest even in the daytime, and occasionally shake the green leaves in the breeze.

　In the light of my knowledge, it was a creature called a "weed."

　No, weeds are like a general term for many plants, and I think there should be an academic name, but I don't have enough knowledge to distinguish them.

However, it turns out that it is strange.

　Did you think of weeds like me?

　If the organ for thinking is the brain, weeds without it cannot think, and therefore the ego does not seem to exist. However, in reality, my existence of me thinks in this way and recognizes my ego.

　Did weeds have a vision?

　If the organ needed to obtain vision is the eyeball, then there should be no vision in weeds that do not have an eyeball. However, I am able to "visualize" a wide range of scenes around myself.

　No, on the contrary.

　I could feel and recognize the feeling of the wind stroking my whole body, the smell of the clean air in the forest, and the warmth of the sunlight that sometimes leaked through the treetops and fell on me. ..

　Actually, my understanding is wrong, and weeds can all think, have an ego, and grasp the surrounding situation with all four senses other than taste. Let's go. At least I can't conclude how unlikely it is, except for someone like me who has actually turned into a weed.

　Although.

　I can't say for sure where this knowledge of mine came from.

　For some reason, the word "reincarnation" comes to mind.

　Maybe I was a human being reincarnated into weeds.

　It's a completely ridiculous and crazy guess, but for some reason, my mind is convinced by the word "reincarnation."

　No, above all-it's "this".

　What am I What's going on with this body?

　Toka Toka.

　It was a time when I was thinking about various things. This strange string emerged in the centre of my field of vision, where I didn't even know how to look at it.

　Apparently, it's not Japanese (what is Japanese?), But I was able to understand the meaning without any problems.

　And perhaps I could immediately understand that this displayed information was about me.

　The moment I saw it, the thought of "status is this" came up reflexively, so maybe this was familiar to me.

　Anyway, according to this provisional status, I'm a race called "Walking Weed" ... it seems to be a living thing.

　Does it mean "walking weeds"?

I imagine? I'm roaming

　Can you walk in the grass?

　Such a question arises, but I will try to move  anyway.

　Then--,

　Sly.

　Petan.

　Sly.

　Petan.

　Pull the roots out of the soil, pull them forward to reach the ground, and support your body.

　Doing that operation twice.

　I was wondering why I could walk without muscles, but it seemed to be true.

　But--,

　Soaked.

　I'm tired of being messed up.

　I was exhausted after just two steps.

　Whether it's an instinct or not, I sunk the roots on the ground into the soil. This is because fatigue accumulates just by rooting on the ground and supporting the body.

　I feel like I'm exhausting my physical strength or vitality.

　Suddenly, when I checked the status, I could clearly see what was consumed.

[Vitality] 1/3

The value of [Vitality] was reduced to 1.

　Will it die if this becomes 0?

　I don't want to check that.

I realized that when my [life force] decreases, I feel very tired, so let's try not to reduce it as much as possible.

　Well, anyway.

　 This confirmed that I was a weed that Icould walk.

　Even if I can't walk much, the information in the status seems likely to be true.

　Then, it will be necessary to confirm various items for other items as well.

　With that in mind, concentrate on the [Skill] column of the status. When I wanted to know more about "photosynthesis", some of them were displayed in a separate frame from the status.

[Skill] "Photosynthesis"

[Explanation] A reaction in which light energy is applied to the photosynthetic pigments in the body to generate carbohydrates and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide, and to generate magical power from the demons in the atmosphere and their own souls. Create vitality and magical power.

[Effect] It has the effect of recovering vitality and magical power.

　Apparently you can see the details of the information displayed in the column.

　I don't think it's barely different from the "photosynthesis" that I know, but it feels like it's almost the same, so let's believe it.

　I will check another skill.

[Skill] "Magic perception"

[Explanation] You can observe the magical power or magic elements that exist in the vicinity. If the conditions such as "high level", "upper race", and "title/sage" are met, it is possible to complement other senses.

[Effect] Observe magical power or magical elements.

　Yes?

　I feel that the explanations of [Explanation] and [Effect] are covered. Moreover, only the explanation of [effect] is simple.

　Well, anyway-maybe it's because of this skill that I see the surroundings, feel the wind, and smell.

[Skill] "Energy Drain"

[Explanation] You can absorb the vitality and magical power from anything you touch, regardless of whether it is an object or a living thing. It can be absorbed from anywhere in its own body, but some races may have particularly suitable parts. In the case of plant-based races, this is the root.

[Effect] Absorbs vitality and magical power from what you touch.

　Yes.

　After all the explanation of [effect] is subtle.

　But this skill is useful. As soon as I was conscious of using it, I had a feeling of sucking something up from the whole roots spread over the humus.

　It feels like you're warming up from the back of your body, or slowly taking a bath (what is a bath?). The feeling of fatigue up to that point is gradually wiped out.

[Skill] "Rhizome generation"

[Explanation] Generates rhizomes and stores nutrients, vitality, and magical power. You can use these drawers as needed, and even regenerate your body if the rhizomes are safe.

[Effect] It can generate rhizomes and store nutrients, vitality, and magical power.

What is a rhizome?

　The words potato and garlic come to mind with the image. edible?

[Skill] "Seed generation"

[Explanation] It is possible to generate seeds that consume vitality and magical power and connect life to the next generation. Seeds are usually wrapped in the pulp after flowering. How to get germination depends on the choice.

[Effect] Consume vitality and magical power to generate seeds.

　Isn't it just the seeds that pop out?

　Well, vegetables and fruits are usually wrapped in pulp, which is natural.

　Hmmm.

　I have confirmed the [skill].

Since the details of [Attribute] were not displayed, I will check the [Title] next.

[Title] "Thinking grass"

[Explanation] What is the cause and effect, the grass that awakens to the ego strangely. How we think about it cannot be understood by looking only at the material world. Is it inevitable that the soul vessel is wrong, or is it God's mischief?

[Effect] No special effect is given.

   Is the soul vessel wrong?

　Was I still a human being?

　I'm not convinced that it's inevitable, but if it's God's mischief, I'll hit him.

[Title] "Sage"

[Explanation] Proof of a person who has accumulated secret knowledge that many cannot know. Much of the knowledge we have accumulated will help us to uncover further secret knowledge.

[Effect] When performing "Appraisal", "Self-Appraisal", etc., details are displayed by [Explanation]. Alternatively, the information obtained by the perceptual skill is processed so that it can be easily recognized, and the effect of the analysis skill is enhanced.

　Oh?

　[Effect] explains various things.

　It seems that it was thanks to the title "Sage" that [Explanation] was added when the details such as skills were displayed.

　Now.

　That's all the confirmation, but in conclusion, I seem to have reincarnated from humans to weeds.

　That doesn't make me wonder if I want to return to humans.

　Well, it's not wrong to have a sluggish life in this forest.

　I fear if I will live suitably.
