What is the most powerful weapon? Sword, Magic, RPGs? Of course its the knowledge how to reproduce and use said items correctly. Especially if you are just like me and can't move a muscle.

If you want to survive in this cruel world, you have to be prepared for everything. So I did the only thing any sane person would do.

After begging the Observer I finally was able to create an account. I named it Call me Daddy2 I found the name very fitting for what I was about to do. I went under his latest video about me that got viral and just left some polite comments.

"The baby probably only screamed, because it saw your face"

"Why did they even give someone as hideous and with such a bad fashion sense access to the beta if there is some as handsome as Call Me Daddy 2"

"Do you have Arthritis or something? Why are you shaking the camera so much, I get the feeling you want to hurt it"

" You know you are promoting a game, but if you are in it no one would be willing to join it in the first place"

"Gods rarely do mistakes, but your birth was the sole exception"

It was just the usual stuff, I mean I did not use any death threats, so this should be considered harmless banter.

I was forced to ask for the help with translating every sentence to get my points across. Thank you, Mr. Wilson.

" Do people consider this kind of evil deed harmless in your world?" asked the Observer

' In our world, you get used to it quite fast and you develop a thick skin. Though I am just a complete rookie at stuff like that. I was one of the nicest people you could ever find. I was there for everyone in need, helped every old lady passing the street. Not every single lady, but you get what I am going for right?

"Everything that is weak will die, is that not a natural law? Then why did you go against the natural order by trying to prolong their life? I consider the road something dangerous judging by your using it as an example of your selflessness. "

' A road can be dangerous but if everyone involved in it pays attention it can be considered very safe. I mean most deaths happen because people are not paying any attention. Take alcohol as an example, in truth alcohol is a real dangerous substance. You can drink too much of it sure, but that should be the least of your worries if you die by it, only yourself will die. But even if it is not too much alcohol makes you disregard your restraints and you tend to overestimate yourself. Add slower reactions in the mix and e voila you have created a deadly cocktail, for everyone involved. Be it yourself, the other drivers or even pedestrians.'

"People in this world don't know about such a "road", they just use teleportation magic. But this teleportation magic has high requirements and restrictions. The spatial axis has to be fixed and it can be interrupted by magic quite easily unless it is highly concentrated and it only works so well for them because they implemented permanent teleport stations, they require a high amount of magic users/chrystals keeping it active all the time."


'Now you got me curious, what kind of development did those guys have. If I had to guess, I would say that they did not develop any kind of weaponry and instead focus on developing and increasing their mana as their primary weapon of. If you take into account, their King of the jungle mentality, I would either guess, they are ruled by some sort of King who is the strongest of them all and dictates their planet accordingly, a state of anarchy is another alternative or a royal family that has a special bloodline, for example, the bloodline of their so-called Ancestor. That were the possibilities I came up with. That was the social structure they find themselves in, so let us focus on their technological level now. If we take the availability of mana as their basic source of power or energy supply in their daily life, I deduce that they have not looked for alternative sources of energy and their technologic is based on the foundation that is mana/faith or holy power however they call it. Are my guesses correct Mr. Willson?'

"There are some correct assumptions you did, but it is not the whole truth.

They focus on magic that is exactly true, they researched other materials as well, but not as an alternative power source, but for their capacity and ability to conduct and channel mana.

Their social hierarchy is indeed based on power, but it is distributed among the main churches. Every holy power has a seat, in the Holy Council and each church is represented by their strongest person. They are called generals. The main elements that can be developed are Light, Darkness, Fire, Wind, Water, Space and Time. Those are the churches main branches, there are many separate churches that are focussing on a combination of those. But only the main branches are represented in the Holy Council. Each main branch commands all ability users in their subdivisions.

Each General can use his army how he deems its fits but in order to command their secret force, they have to have a majority agreement. Their secret force is called the Gods Chosen. For example, the Gods Chosen Children you heard about are contenders for becoming a Gods Chosen. This game is not only a survival but honing their potential and battle skills.

Above the Holy Council is only one person and that is the current King Marcus Aurelius. He became King after a fierce struggle with his brothers and sisters. They fought the fiercest monsters in order to prove themselves worthy. For example, our current King killed a Hydra and it was still a very close call. The bloodline of the family is indeed very special even though there is no public information on what makes it so special. They are protected by the 12 Apostles. An Organisation that is shrouded in mystery.

That is what I collected in all my research, even though there are some rumours that the Gods even chose special people off their liking and give them much more power than the rest. Drawing a comparison, if the magic output of the others is limited by their body, though that limitation is removed for said selected people. They are the so-called Prophets but that is just a hoax so there is no need to pay it any special attention.

'This world really is awesome. Gods, Prophets, Apostel, Generals, Chosen Ones. And I am sure there has to be a Pope as well and everything can kick my ass at the moment. But it is not fun if it is easy. Otherwise, I would just be here idling away my time, how boring would that be, just gaining power without any kind of reasoning. This is my Metamorphosis, let's see what the result of a human and that bug queen leads to.'

"You are slightly mistaken there, just to let you know, but due to your lack of energy, the bugs were forced to search for every little being that they could find, that could serve as an energy source. The problem is that the bug queen has not developed correctly and her DNA is incomplete, that is the reason why it collects many samples of DNA and combines it with its own DNA to complete the queen's evolution. And with your genes that mutated due to the constant influence of holy power.

Even stranger is that in the system data, the larva of the queen died, the moment it grew in your body. Yet it is still alive inside of you right now.

You will become something even the system can't clarify. It refers to you as "bug boy" at the moment."

' I have mixed feeling about that, it is bugging me quite literally. But as long I will still have my human shell I won't care because I am still alive thanks to them.'

'But one thing I do not understand even now, is why everyone else is able to use Mana but this body can't use the power of faith?

" To answer your question, we have to go back to the moment, before you woke up. So sit back and relax but don't dare to move a muscle"

'Fuck off'

"It was like that..."
