Chapter 2
Egg eating Dark Worms
I regain my consciousness and now is the second day .
Also I finally came to understand that this forest that i was in, was a dangerous forest full of monsters .
Monsters like, some black crocodile looking thing and other giant insects which i dislike .
This place probably isn't Japan .
This place probably is Africa .
I always knew that Africa had black crocodiles, giant insects, walking eggs, and some kind of bear with 4 arms .
I should have paid a more attention to things outside of Japan .
That way i could have known that there was such a dangerous country out there . . . I really want to cry right now .
By the way, this day I got the [Hunger Resistance] and [Poison Resistance] skills .
Because of a mushroom that i eat earlier my stomach hurts, it really hurts .
Well, at least i understand that it won’t be dangerous if i just have it in my hand .
Anyways, let’s test the [Roll] Skill .
As if by instinct, i just rolled over to the side .
[Roll] Skill leveled up to level 2 .
I rolled from a high place which ended up with me falling and it dealt quite the amount of damage to me, [Fall Resistance] Skill level up to level 2 .
I almost killed myself .
Naa, I’m tired, God’s Voice-chan . . .
I want to go back home, i want to take a bath, i want to eat chips . . .
[Special Skill [God’s Voice: Lv1] is unable to explain . ]
Please, let’s have a conversation .
I feel like I’m going to die from loneliness .
I’m about to start crying .
[Resistance Skill [Solitude Resistance: Lv1] was acquired . ]
I’m sorry, i don’t think that that will be necessary .
Your consideration makes me happy though, but it isn't what I’m looking for .
I want the warmth of another person . . .
I’m not a man who can endure being alone, I don’t want to become a lonely man .
I don’t need to be the strong, i just want to keep living as a human who has recognized his weakness . . .
Human life huh, something like being born from an egg means that i will change .
Which reminds me, when did i come here?
I don’t seem to remember . I do recall that I’m Japanese, and i still have my common knowledge which tells me that monsters shouldn't exist .
I don’t quite remember if i was a man or a woman, but probably a man if i think about it .
Was i abducted and brought to Africa?
Then, i wonder who is God’s Voice-chan?
[Title Skill [Straight Fool: Lv1] was acquired . ]
. . . I wish you would stop with those kind of answers .
Fine, you just hurt my feelings
Anyways let’s confirm my status .

Ahh, the Clutz skills also leveled up .
I recalled something that I didn’t want to remember .
Really, how could this skill be helpful .
It seems that HP can be recovered by just lying down .
Both of this days, I've paid a lot of attention in order to not get hurt and end up dying because of that .
I have been avoiding monsters, eating small fruits that fall from the trees and little insects, and drinking the spring’s water .
Though I didn't want to, it was inevitable .
I thought I was going to die from hunger .
Even I think that giving up after two days is fast .
It can't be helped . Compared to when I was a human the feeling of hunger is much stronger .
*This set of sentences actually confused me for a while, i still tried my best but i ain't so sure about them .
I’m still in my growth period .
I mean, I’m still an egg .
Even if my level goes up . . . Will i be able to fight?
I don’t think i would be able to hit a monster .
Since I’m an egg .
When will i hatch?
God’s voice said that i was a dragon’s egg, shouldn't there any feeling that I’m growing?
Maybe it won’t happen unless I don’t level up?
I need to defeat monsters?
That’s impossible!, I’m just an egg!
Nest?, didn’t I fall from my nest?
Didn’t I fall from a tree?, could it possibly be that it was the dragon’s nest?
It could be that there is something that stimulates my growth
Ah, danger .
There are some grotesque caterpillars at the base of the tree .
This discovery was quite late . (考え事してたせいで発見が遅れた。)
That thing’s name is Dark Worm
When I fell down here, they began to chase me .
Naturally, I was able to escape .
With the exception of the dark worm, other monsters just seem to ignore me .
They just seem to overlook me .
It could be that they think that if they try to attack me the parent dragon will come forth to protect me, now that I think about it God’s Voice said something like that on the first day .
But, that fellow always attacks me .
Let’s check the Dark Worm status, [Status inspection] I said in my mind .

Dangerous, really dangerous .
His overall status is better than mine .
My agility is slightly better than his, but for now I should escape from here .
Now I know why that guy was so obstinately aiming for me, it’s because of that strange Title Skill that he has .
[Egg Eater: Lv1]
It really probably is because of that .
What I came to understand was that, that guy seems to know the taste of an egg .
An agreement is impossible . It would be inadvisable to communicate with that thing .
It seems like, right now, the Dark Worm somehow lost some HP .
If I wait for it to fall asleep, will I be able to finish him off?
His level is higher than mine, but my defense is a bit higher than his .
If I receive one attack I would be out, but I think that I should be able to win if I use my advantage in agility well .
Alright let’s do this .
I’m going to beat that guy down, so I can level up in order to hatch . And bring this egg life to an end .
