First, I was some sort of apple, then I met this r00d monkey who wanted to eat me whom later became my "greatest friend"... Then I enrooted within this little cave where I control all sorts of plants and assigned different roles to them like bear fruits or grow colorful and tasty medicinal flowers... Then these whole bunch of 47 monkeys came to this place and started to worship me after I proved my "miracles"... Then my "greatest friend" forced me into some sort of "promises" with the monkeys...
Yeap.
You'd think that I'm like a month or a year old right now but NO.
NO.
I'm only ONE DAY old.
Ok fine, I WAS one day old when all of that happened.
Today, I'm TWO DAYS OLD.
TWO. FUCKING. DAYS.
No I don't have a fucking partner because I'm a tree. Sigh.
Additionally, I have to watch them fuck and fuck up because I have this skill called "Eyes On You" which I can feel/see/observe everything within my vicinity. Of course, I can turn them off... but WHAT IF something really happened? Everyone's having so much fun during the celebration of moving to this cave, but, I'm the one that REALLY needs to work while they're all being drunk and drown in their happiness.
Ugh.
This is seriously causing me a large headache.
Like what should I do if that girl's going to faint? Also some dude drops his glass. At the same time somebody tripped over someone else's tail.
That's the "minimum requirement" of something that'll go wrong today. Sigh.
[ {Grow Vines} Skill activated. ]
[ { Multitasking } learned!]
...and I learned a new skill. From actual Multitasking. Weeee~
Does this means that I'm the only one helping these monkeys right now?
If you're asking for Wutian... Obviously he's not helping. He's just busy flirting with that moon girl- I mean, Wuming. Y'know, I'm actually wondering if it's incest if they have the same family name but not really with the same blood? Or even if they ARE, how are they going to reproduce at this point if everyone's blood related???
Then again Adam and Eve... eh. Their first few children will have to be siblings, right?
Maybe incest IS the right way of reproduction. Hmmm...
WAIT. NO. THAT'S VERY WRONG. NONONO.
But Hera and Zeus. HMMM...
I don't understand how reproduction really should work for extinct species anymore...
Oh seriously, I have to see them fuck too? Now what did I do to deserve this?!
...
...
...
Ok fine. Maybe I DO deserve this. Images of all my previous Se
Bad. Bad monkeys.
Luckily there's no rapings around here, else I'd make them extinct for real.
Sigh. Ok fine. I'll bear with this.
I'll make YOU GUYS see moar in the future.
Heh. Heh. H- OMFG WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY TREE?!?!?!?!?!?
= = = = = =
Phew. I finally got over that DREADFUL NIGHT and UGLY furs. That naaaasty feeling lasted for one whole week. Yuuuuck. I swear my partners last time were all MUCH better.
Ewww.
I would never link myself with my trees in full ever again. I've learnt my lessons, and even if you cast a Forget spell on me, I doubt it won't go away that easily.
Ugh.
But hey, at least they DID apologize to me, the heavenly-blessed great sacred tree and the bestest best monkey loving friend of Sun Wutian: Arcaxia Mymir. Yeah, that's the LONGEST description I ever got so far, and I really hope that it won't be any longer.
Imagine if this is turned into an anime and how many seconds they have to waste by only addressing ME.
= = = = = =
Now remember that I can take over those plants? Yeap, I CAN do that towards ALL sorts of plants, without any difficulties... so far.
And...
I just realized that through taking over all those plants, I can actually learn, or get their attributes! What does that mean? Let me give you an example.
Since I wanted to grow a defensive garden as well, I would like to make some... "interesting" flowers. So let's take that first rose on the right.

A lot to read, right?
Yeah, it appears like that to me, too.
It's like, you know, those "Character Editing" screen? On the right it shows how the plant looks like, and the following attributes that you could edit. Also, the Unabled Body Parts are hidden and you need to press it out like a spoiler button.
But eh, I think the gods are pretty bad in utilizing HTML scripts, because rather than exact buttons they actually looked like bad-written scripts. Oh well. Better than nothing and have to figure out everything myself, right?
So, let's make some... offensive flowers.
This is not going to be edible or even delicious - it'll be as dangerous as it could. Full hardness, full sharpness, full... uh, POISONOUS. Even the roots themselves must be poisonous!
[ WARNING! That will affect the ground and the plants beside Rose4867. Confirm? ]
...ahhhh shit. Fine. Not the roots then. Sigh.
But, I could add something else!
Enable that Snap Trap!
[ WARNING! That will use up 10% of your current mana. Confirm? ]
10% for a snap trap? YES! After all, I can regain that in a niffy.
So, this is how the screen looks like now...

Yes / No ]
Alright! This is a good one!...wait.
Now it looks like a small rose being paired up with a large Snap Trap.
Anatomically, it's really odd... but seriously, roses are never being paired with a snap trap so, anatomical what? That's not really important anymore, right?
But then, what if the enemies saw this and they be like "This must be a trap!"
Obviously they'd run away.
Hmmm.
Fine then, let's make a huge rose paired with a huge snap trap then!

Yes / No ]
Yeap! That's better!
And with that confirmed... Tadaaaa! I have a Snap Trapped Beautiful Rose! Why the beautiful? Obviously to lower the enemies' guard and, uh, trick them into touching those snaps?
"Ohhhh! What a beautiful flower~"
"Huh- WAIT!"
*SNAP!*
*BURNS!*
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! IT HURTS!!! IT HURTSSSSSSSS!!!"
"OH SHIT OH SHIT! RELEASE THE MONKEY!"
What a beautiful romance between an idiotic monkey and the vicious burning snapper. Sigh. I thought monkeys were wild animals and they're know better what to TOUCH and what NOT to touch.
I did not intend to make this trap to fool such intelligent creatures!
I need to have a word with Wutian about this issue, seriously. All of them monkeys NEED to be reeducated!
= = = = = =
So I have one whole week of lectures about plants - which are edible and which are not; which can be touched and which should be take note of. Of course, in this world of magic, there are a lot of other interesting plants that I do not understand... but all of those that I knew, I have CLEARLY imparted the knowledge into these monkeys.
F o r c e f u l l y.
Alright, luckily Wutian's the smarter one over here - I guess that's why he's the leader of the monkey tribe.
Aaaand speaking of that...
"Arcaxia," Wutian sat on one of my branches and spoke to me - serious and soft. There are no other people around here except for me and him. "What do you think of our people?"
"Hmmm... they're good? A lil' bit stupid when it comes to plants, but, eh - they're good enough. I never thought that one week crash course about normal and magical plants would actually get into their brain that easily."
"...hahaha, you're just a forceful teacher, Arcaxia," Wutian snicked, giving me a fistbump... to my branch? Shoulder if you put in human sense?
"So what do you want to talk about?"
"...heh, you know me by now, I guess," Actually I don't, but Wutian's really not the kind of person who'd be serious over some menial issues like "howz mah tribeeee". I've heard this tone for a very long time during my previous incarnations - it normally means that "I have something serious to talk about and this is only between you and me".
"I have something serious to talk about and this is only between you and me," See? I'm right! "It's... about naming the monkeys."
"Right. That. We had that conversation before," Remember the "rules and regulations" Wutian and I agreed upon? I will not and cannot randomly give out names, because they eat my lifeforce and I do not want people to just randomly get lifeforces from me. It's not about I do not have enough or not, but, I just don't want to exhaust myself THAT easily without the right reasons.
"I think... it's time to name another monkey," He spoke, looking into the forest where the other monkeys were. "It'll be my brother."
"Your brother?"
"Yeah. My little brother, from the same father," He spoke, grinning a little. "You know, that Water Monkey, Lil' Blue?"
"Uhuuuuuuuuuuh. That one. He's one cunning fella alright," I remembered him, and... he always have that shady look. It seemed that he's always the one who stole from his other companions, and laugh as he said that "it's a prank!" but... I've seen it.
It's not a prank.
It's like the prank is what it seemed from the outside, and because he didn't really do any harm so nobody really cared much about it... but he really mean it when he did those "pranks" or "stealing", laughing at the others of their misfortune and their idiocy. With such intelligence and acting skills, he's able to fool a lot of people.
But not me.
And I'm going to name this bastard???
"So... My lil' bro has been seeing me in a very hostile way..." Wutian's tail dropped, and so was his head. Ohwow. I thought I'm the only one that realized that! No no, no sarcasm. This is being completely honest! The other monkeys REALLY fall for his acts!
"I don't want it to be like that - I mean, he's the smartest and most hardworking monkey in this whole tribe," ...seriously??? Wait. If he could make those pranks works... I guess he IS quite hardworking. "I know and I understand why he's... jealous of what I have. Because I'm the eldest in the family, and the most capable monkey, I'm a high achiever. I am able to bring them food when nobody else can, and I'm best in scouting for any harms, leading them to safety. However, when he's capable of doing all those, he didn't got the praise that I got. The only thing he got was 'Well, his brother must have taught him well!' and 'You're just like your brother.'. However, when he did something not up to the challenge, people would just sigh at him, and said that I could've done better and he should work harder to be like me.
Honestly? He's not me. His body doesn't even shape like mine. I have the muscles, but he has none. Also, I never taught him ANYTHING. Rather, he learned everything by himself! Perhaps he DID imitate me, but he never asked for my help from anything, even though he's struggling. There's this one day where he revised a plan to chase off the orcs from our grounds, all by himself, even though the main offense was me... they praised me rather than him. It's like, he's a byproduct of my achivements. The truth is that, I'm not as smart as he is, but everyone just focused on my glory rather than his."
Oh wow. That's... That's such a tragic tale for an unloved child. I can see why he wished for other's misfortune and so that he could laugh at them.
"And now... now he just gave up in becoming like me. He became something else - something that's NOT me. The exact opposite of a leader... a total slacker with a high tendency to sin. While I really do not want him to resent me or view me as his enemy, I want him to feel appreciated and be glorified as the way I am - seeing the person as he is, not seeing him as a byproduct of my shadow!"
Wutian's emotions affect his control over his power, which started a lil' fire on my branch.
"HEY HEY HEY. THAT HURTS."
"Oh no! I'm sorry!" He immediately took control over his power back, and the fire resided. Phew! I didn't get my body burn, but there's a black scar over that branch where he sits alright.
"Anyway, I feel your anger..." But no I don't deserve that burn. "And I truly understood your feeling but... It won't be easy. I mean, you can't change the perspective of the other monkeys..."
Wutian sighed. "I know that... that's why I hoped that the naming ceremony will change his mind and be a better person. Hopefully he'll see my earnest wish and accept it..." He turned towards me. "I know this is hard for you, and maybe you don't want to give your lifeforce towards my... lil' brother because he could be such an ass. But, please...
If you deem me as your great friend, please grant me this wish."
...uhuh. THAT again.
"Well, any consequences if he's gonna rebel or whatever, you'll bear it, alright?"
"Of course, my friend," Wutian smiled, knowing that I agreed once I said that.
Sigh.
What a bothersome brother.
