I Reincarnated As A Stick

"Since the [Fruit Creation] skill allows me to create 3 nuts, I should go with 2 on SP storage and 1 as a bullet for now." After pondering for a bit, Aurus finally settled on a ratio that seemed like it would help him.

Activating the [Fruit Creation] skill, three small nuts suddenly sprouted from Aurus' body. Two of these nuts were a pale green in color, while the other one was similar to the color of Aurus' body, ash gray.

"Hm. If I add in the two nuts I set for SP storage, that means I now have 4 SP to use," Aurus then started to think far ahead. "If the [Fruit Creation] skill or the [SP Storage] skill levels up, that would mean I would have more SP to use. If I have a lot of SP, I might unlock a new evolution!"

Aurus couldn't help but snigger at the thought. Just like how evolving [Roll] to [Roll++] allowed him to access a Special evolution, he had a feeling that having a lot of SP would allow him to access a more special evolution compared to his current species. Perhaps a Rare evolution?

While he was engrossed in his delusions, a notification sound popped up, bringing him back to reality.

Ding!

'[Fruit Creation] has leveled up.'

"Well that was fast," Aurus couldn't help but say. He then opened the screen regarding the skill, checking the differences between the levels.

Not long after, another nut sprouted from his body. This nut was also ash gray just like the last nut from before.

"Okay. With 4 nuts, I think I'm set for now." Aurus then opened up the map and set a marker for the outer portion of the inner area, which was 4 kilometers away. He didn't dare to enter the center of the Lesser Experience Haven, since a scary enemy lived there.

With the blue path leading his way and the triangle hovering on top of his body telling how much distance he left being manifested, he then activated [Roll++] and started to...well roll.

As he rolled, he noticed that his rolling wasn't bumpy at all. He took a look at his body and saw that the nuts were inside his body, waiting to sprout once more when needed. Looking at this, Aurus couldn't help but thank Kurohana for giving him the system.

...

And with only an ellipsis separating two situations, 42 hours have unnoticeably passed. Along the journey, two notification sounds alerting Aurus of the [Roll++] skill leveling up occured.

At the moment, Aurus stopped where he was and all of a sudden, the four nuts he prepared before sprouted out, giving Aurus a sense of security. He then looked around his surroundings and saw at first glance that the enemies he would face right now were not pushovers.

A few meters away from him, a thick branch could be standing in place as the cold breeze blew through its bark. The thick branch didn't flinch at all from the cold...because it was a branch.

"Identify," Aurus commanded.

Ding!

_________

[Lesser Mahogany Branch] (Level 4)

HP: 15/15

_________

"Gulp." Aurus swallowed his saliva even though he didn't have any saliva to swallow. He looked at the HP of the branch in front of him and couldn't help but scratch his head figuratively.

"15 HP. That's almost 8 times bigger when compared to the sticks in the outer area," Aurus took a deep breath before realizing something.

"Wait a minute. Ain't I a Wind Walnut Branch? A species specialized in attacking from far away?" At this moment, Aurus sniggered as he got closer to the enemy he identified. After the gap between them was shortened to 2 meters, Aurus positioned his body perpendicular to the branch and then chanted a skill.

"[Nut Shot]."

Although it sounded wrong when heard for the first time, this skill was the first attack skill available for those of the Walnut race. This skill is equivalent to the [Charge] of the Mahogany race and [Confusion Pollen] of the Sakura race.

At the moment, Aurus thought that [Nut Shot] was an instantaneous attack skill like [Charge], but of course, with advantages come disadvantages.

The 1 SP Aurus used to activate the [Nut Shot] skill circulated in the place where SP is stored and then went through the xylem and phloem of his body before reaching one of the ash gray nuts that were hanging from his body.

Not long after, the ash gray nut started to glow green, a normal glow that would come from using SP. It then started to hover as it broke off from the small branch it latched on and then shot itself towards the enemy Aurus targeted.

Bang!

In an instant the nut collided with the body of the enemy, the nut then exploded into multiple bit sized pieces and dealt damage to the enemy.

Ding!

Aurus then heard the notification sound and opened up the damage screen, only to be shocked by what he saw.

'Aurus has dealt 5 HP damage to [Lesser Mahogany Branch].'

After being dealt damage, the Lesser Mahogany Branch then started to roll around as if it had a soul of its own and tried to search for the one who did it. After a while, it gave up since it didn't find anything, going back to its original place.

Aurus couldn't help but snigger at the thought. "Since those of the Mahogany race don't have long-range attacks, they can't hit me while I can hit them! Although it takes me a while to activate my attack skill, it does deal a lot of damage in exchange! I wonder how much damage it'll deal once I evolve it."

At this moment, Aurus felt something happening in his body so he checked it out. One of the nuts that were pale green in color had its SP sucked by the SP vessel in Aurus' body, turning the nut into an ash gray color.

It was at this moment that Aurus realized the ideal way to use his nuts.

"Make everything SP storage while I leave one nut empty!" Aurus' eyes gleamed at his fast thinking. Not long after, three nuts were now pale green in color while one of them was ash gray in color.

"The cooldown has ended. Now! [Nut Shot]!"

Bang!

Once more, the sole ash gray nut flew towards the Lesser Mahogany Branch and exploded into bits, dealing 5 HP damage just like before.

Not long after, one of the pale green nuts turned ash gray, giving Aurus another bullet to use. But at this moment, a notification sound popped up which somewhat confused him. He then heard the voice from the system and from there he understood.

Ding!

'[Fruit Creation] has leveled up.'

'[Fruit Creation] has reached the MAX level.'

'[Fruit Creation] has met the necessary requirements and is now ready to evolve.'
