When I woke up, aside from being amused by the various system notification sounds - that's a HUGE BUNCH of skills that I just learned! - I can feel the sunlight shining onto me. I absorbed its warmth and I feel super energized as if I ate a lot of delicious foods. My feet - I mean, roots (or reets?) - are deeply enrooted within the earth... it's as if I'm in a wonderful spa: warm and comfortable. Still... was the world this small? The trees beside me are clearly shorter than me, and the flowers... seemed like little kids.
Eh.
"Y-You really... grew..." Hmm? It's the sound of the monkey. Where was it? Can I even turn my head? "H-Hey! Don't just suddenly turn your body! You'll swing me out!" Eh? Swing you out? I'm turning my body??? But it confirmed that I'm able to turn around and look what's around me, using my eyes.
Of course, I could've just use my body to search. Man, I'm so not used to be a plant.
Getting accustomed to my new body, I realized that the monkey is actually hanging on one of my... arms? No, the branches. I found out that I can move my branches too! That's really amazing. It's like, I can grab into someone and throw them away, or sweep them away in defense.
Huh, neat.
"So... I guess you're not an apple now, right?" The monkey hesitantly asked, while still hanging on my branches. He's trying to look at my face from the above, I think?
"Well, duh, I'm no longer a Froot... BUT A GROOT!"
...
...
...
Yeah yeah, awkward silence. The monkey knows no humor. Why? Or was it because that in this world nobody knows about Groot that's why they really don't care about the name? Sigh. That's so sad.
"Cough. Anyway, from my recent, uh, evolution? I think I learned a few tricks..." All those growing stuffs and alternating stuffs... I wonder how will it work? "Maybe I'll try to grow... something?"
"Ohhh~" The monkey seemed excited this time.
"Alright... Here goes..." Let's see...
Grow... roots?
[ { Grow Roots } Skill Activated ]
OHOH!
Alright, so from above the ground, you will see NOTHING. But, under the ground, my roots actually GREW. Also, I can control how far they can grow! Let's see... what if I grow into that patch where I can grow delicious fruits?
[ { Delicious Fruits } Learned! ]
[ { Larger Fruits } Learned! ]
[ { Demigod of the Taste's Divine Blessing } Learned! ]
[ { Taste Alternation } Learned! ]
Wow. Within 5 minutes, I learned another 4 skills! Still, comparing this patch that I'm currently enrooted, that patch doesn't seemed to give me a lot of skills. Or maybe my roots just recently reached there? Hmmm.
If that's the case, let's spread the roots everywhere!
[ This plant does not belong to anyone. Do you wish to take over it? ]
[ Yes / No ]
I can do that??? Oh yeah, I have the Roots Domination skill... Uh, yes please?
[ This plant is now under your control. Do you wish to assign roles to it? ]
[ Yes / No ]
"...uh, apple- I mean, G-Groot? Whatever your name is... uh, you alright? You've been silence but your face kept on changing... What happened?" Oh, I played with unders too much that I forgot what's above.
"Well, it seemed that I can take over the other plants here and assign some sort of roles... but I haven't discover yet. Maybe I can REALLY turn this place into a fruits garden!"
The monkey seemed surprised. "If that's possible... Well, good luck Groot! I'll be rooting for you from here!"
...did he just-
Never mind.
Back to the plant.
[ This plant is now under your control. Do you wish to assign roles to it? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Yes please!
[ Choose a role: { Grow Fruits }/ { Grow Flowers } ]
For this one... Grow Fruits!
[ { Grow Fruits } Confirm? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Yeap!
[ { Grow Fruits } Confirmed. Which type of fruits? ]
[ Suitable Fruit Type: Apple / Pear / Cherry / Citrus / Banana ]
...Suitable Fruit Type? So there's unsuitable fruit types too? Huh. For this one... let's choose Apple!
[ { Grow Apples } Confirm? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Yeap!
[ { Grow Apples } Confirmed. Do you wish to add in other attributes? ]
[ Available Attributes: Elemental / Delicious / Larger ]
Uh, can I select all of them?
[ { Grow _Larger/Delicious/Elemental_ Apples } Confirm? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Oh wow I can. Yes please!
[ { Grow _Larger/Delicious/Elemental_ Apples } Confirmed. Please wait for a while... ]
First, I felt that my body somewhat extended towards that tree, and I somehow... played with the tree a little bit? Like, you're doing some science experiments on the tree, or arranging a puzzle, before you put it back nicely. Energies from my roots flowed into the tree as it grew larger and larger...
Then POP!
The first apple!
But, uh, why is that color... so odd?
"You just... made a tree that can't grow fruits, GREW a fruit!" The monkey exclaimed, hopping down from me and went "flying" towards the "apple tree". "And it's... an apple!"
"Y-Yeah... Since I was an apple, I think."
"But the color's... Was an apple's color supposed to be... like this?" Right. That's the weird part. Like, it's not green apples where it's unripe, or a normal red apple, or a darker red apple...
This apple is orange.
Like, not an apple where it's also an orange, the apple IS orange colored.
"Uhhhh... I don't know what's going on... but I'm very sure that that's an apple and it should be fine to eat it," Based on the selections I did just now - obviously it'll be like that.
"...alright, I'll try this."
*CHOMP*
"!!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?"
*CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP - GULP*
"UWOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"UWAAAH!?!?!?!?"
Suddenly the monkey growled super loud as he finished the orange apple. His body started to grow spikier and flames were unleashed. While the flames didn't really do much against me because of my minor all resistance, the grasses around him were burnt off!
"M-Monkey! Stop! The plants, they're dying!" Oh no, I have to do something! I've got to protect this place!
[ { Plant Alternation } is available. Do you wish to use it? ]
[ Yes / No ]
[ { Apply Elemental Resistance } is available. Do you wish to apply? ]
[ Yes / No ]
[ Highest rank of { Fire Elemental Resistance } is Minor. Do you wish to apply? ]
[ Yes / No ]
GODDAMMIT. MINOR. DAMN. Whatever, it's better than nothing... YES!
[ { Apply Minor Fire Elemental Resistance } Confirmed. Please wait... ]
I CAN'T WAIT DAMMIT. MAKE IT FASTTTTTT!!!
"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
ALSO CAN I DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT FIRE MONKEY!?!?!?
[ { Grow Vines } is available. Do you wish to use this skill? ]
OMG YES!
And now from my body, I sprouted two green vines towards the monkey... but I couldn't reach the monkey! The flames, while they can't hurt me THAT much, are forming some sort of barrier. But...
"I can surround you with my vines!"
Surrounding the fire monkey with my vines, I forced the fire barrier to be smaller while I suffered a lot of burns from the fire. To be honest, they fucking HURTS. Like, even though you won't die being punched by a large dragon once or twice wearing an armor, it will still hurt when you were punched many times!
After some while, the fire finally subsided - not an effort from me, I could feel. I released the vines, and the monkey... the monkey's standing there...
But different.
Previously, the monkey's just like any other monkeys - with eyeliners, I think? But this time, the monkey had a burning long hair, spikier furs, and a crown-like head-piece with a very thick... eyebrow? Is that an eyebrow? I don't even know. But the furs around his face hardened to form some sort of glorious helmet while the fire hairs were spread out freely and passionately. The monkey also seemed to be bigger and more... confident.
Interesting.
"I... I evolved," The monkey spoke, looking at me with his red eyes. "I can't believe it. With that one single orange apple... I evolved into a Rare Variant of my own race! That's... That's really amazing...!" He gripped into a fist, looking at his own fist and then back to me. "Thank you, dear friend. I suppose not eating you in the first place is a right choice to make."
"Hahaha! Now you know what kind of miracles I can make!" I lied. I don't even know I can make these kind of things in the first place. "So... what do you want to do now?"
"..." The monkey looked at the ground once again, and looked around the cave. "If you could... I supposed turning this place into a fruits garden will be nice. I will bring my kind over here, and we will worship you. We will treat you as a god, and while we feed from your fruits. We will protect you from any sorts of dangers while you continue to provide us foods."
Hmm. That sounds like a good deal for a tree like me. But... I wasn't a tree before this. Do I want to stay forever in this place and only provide them good stuffs? I have my own role, too. Hmmm...
"If..." I started, softly. "Let's just say IF... If I am able to be free, able to walk with my two feet... or if one day I grew wings and able to leave this place..." I closed my eyes, before looking at the fire monkey. "Please do let me go, let me be free?"
"..." The monkey blinked. "I... never heard of trees able to grow feet or wings to get away from the places that they enrooted... but if such miracles DO happen, I will respect your choices. For, right now, you're my friend."
I smiled at that. "Your friend, eh? That sounds extremely pleasant. I like that. Nice to meet you... uh... what's your name?"
"...I... don't have a real name. But people called me A327."
...
Wtf is that kind of name?!
Is that a name for a prisoner?!
"Nonono. That won't do. You should get a better name than that... weird code," I frowned, while thinking of a good name for him. Since he's a fire monkey... hmmm... En... Ka.... Kaen... Wait. What about Sun Wukong? Nah, plagiarizing ain't good. What about the other titles from the monkey god then? Like, Dou Zhan Sheng Fo (Victorious Fighting Buddha), Qi Tian Da Sheng (Great Sage Equal of Heavens)... Mei Hou Wang (Handsome Monkey King)! I mean, he DOES look quite good too!
Wait. Using titles to name a person. Sounds pretty odd, isn't it? Sigh...
Eh. This is getting harder and harder to think about. I'll just randomly get pieces from Sun Wukong and give him a name like... "Sun Wutian!" Wait. Doesn't that translates into Son Goten who's also the son of Son Goku translated from Sun Wukong which means I also plagiarized-
...
Never mind.
[ Do you wish to name this Fire Ape { Sun Wutian } ? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Eh? I can do that? Uhhh... Yeah! Let's do that then!
"Sun... Wutian...!" The fire monkey widened his eyes as the name was bestowed upon him. Speaking of which... I could feel a patch of magical energy extracted from myself and transferred towards him.
Eh?
Ehhh???
