My Reincarnation as a Chicken

"Wawa! Aga?" Ichi was playing around with a tiny pebble he found lying around the cave. I barely gave him a thought as I grinded the Renosue herbs to paste.

[Item: Renosue Flower

[Description: A very valuable commodity that normally grows in Larm, but can also be found in places with intense weather conditions. It has the ability to recover up to 50% the health of any weakened individual and cure most diseases.]

It was practically a cheat code. Take it twice and you were back to 100%. This was probably the best remedy you would find in this world. And the fact that they grow at places with the worst weather conditions make them seem quite rare. I doubt the residents of this world use them often. And here I was using them on plants.

Well, considering I found them growing practically everywhere, you couldn't blame me if I felt like wasting one or two of them.

'Maybe I can sell them in a town and make money?' A thought came to mind.

If I managed to sell extremely rare commodities such as these, surely I would acquire quite a bit of money. And if I acquired some amount of money that meant a lovely mansion and all the fantasy monster girls I could dream of. Yes, like elves and well… the other fantasy monsters in my head just looked disgusting. I guess I could settle for elves alone.

While I was fantasizing about my glorious future, Ni was jumping about with me, bringing me back to my current state. Embarrassed, I cleared my throat and returned to grinding the Renosue flowers I obtained.

'Still, wouldn't it be weird for a demonic bird to be selling herbs, promising that they would heal you? That would be the literal definition of making a deal with a devil. Hmm, that would mean I would need a human appearance. If I plan my evolutions right maybe I could end up becoming a harpy of sorts. That sort of transformation might take long though. Maybe a month or two or even extending to a year or longer. Tch. That's too long. Wait, or since this is a magical world, maybe when I learn to use magic I could learn Illusion or transformation magic if they exist, then create a human form to set out into the world. That should be simple enough considering I have the Agent. He should be able to teach me magic like that no problem. Damn it, isn't the Agent kinda useless in times like that. I mean, I practically pulled the short end of the straw if I got this agent instead of the other four. Ah… this is too much for me! It's beyond me!'

I was getting a head ache with all the thinking this Isekai had forced me to do and it was barely my tenth day alive.

After some minutes, I managed to grind the paste. I ordered the twigs to roll around in it and in no time, they were up to 100% health. I looked up and it was getting darker. In fact, the sunlight was practically gone. The Bronzeed I ate earlier hadn't filled up my stomach so I would need to find food.

With [Dark Vision] I was able to see stuff in the dark better. [Heat sense] worked like Infra-red vision goggles, allowing me to see the heat in living creatures. [Goggles] also worked like binoculars allowing me to see at far distances. When I used [Mana Perception] in tandem with [Auto Mapping], [Goggles] and [Heat Sense], I managed to give myself a holographic wide area map that allowed me to see things that possessed mana and heat within a 100 meter radius. It was quite intense and I almost puked the first time I tried it out.

Fortunately due to that, I acquired [Mental Damage Resistance]. I hadn't assumed that [Mana Perception] was so dangerous.

<<Notice: The use of the skill [Mana Perception] is not dangerous. Your pain was brought about by the irregular combination of skills>>

'Huh? It's because I tried doing what other Isekai protagonists do? Tch, I guess it'd make sense since the skills weren't made together. Still, there should be something like the combination of all these skills right? Maybe like some |Ultimate skill| I'm simply not ready for.'

I looked up at the sky as I walked out my cave. The starry night sky was beautiful. I spread out my wings, about to fly off into the sky, but then

"Waga! Rawr~!"

San came jumping out of the cave, trying to grab onto my legs.

'Eh? What the hell are you doing?'

"Kekeke! Kawrie! Mwa!" Ni also came running out of the cave. At this point I was a bit above the ground. I was hoping that he would try to stop his brother, but then he wrapped his roots around my leg as well.

Wait… did these little twigs want to go out with daddy? Argh, their boss, I meant. I guess, I could take them out for a little hunting trip then. I looked back and saw Ichi simply standing in front of the cave, looking at me with a determined expression.

'Tch… fine! All of you come along! I'll take you on a damned hunting adventure. I mean, what's the use in having tools if you aren't going to use them.'

I landed on the ground and decided to walk with them, in search of food. Whether it was fortunate or not, monsters stayed away from my home. I would assume it was because of the poisonous gas that was still in the atmosphere. The twigs seemed unaffected so I assumed it was because they were plants and the poison was meant for well, creatures that could think.

After walking for a while, we came across animal tracks. They looked like hooves, so it was probably the Flame Deer from before. Oh, to think I would find such delicious food so early.

'Oi… wasn't that thing an absolute beast? Weren't its stats in the hundreds? Especially with the use of its [Fire Force] ability. Um… let's see what I can do about it. Maybe I could-'

I could hear snorting. It were like a pig was around. I activated my [Stealth] skill and used [Thread Creation] on my legs to allow me to climb the tree like a certain web-slinger. I ordered the twigs to hide and they almost perfectly blended in with the trees and shrubs.

The snorting sound was getting louder and I could hear trotting. The creature was coming closer. I gulped and activated [Mana Perception]. With it, I could see this blob of silvery mass approaching me. It was to my left. I looked there, deactivated [Mana Perception] then activated [Heat Sense], which allowed me to see its figure in a better shape than before. It had the body of a warthog, but twice as big and longer. I activated [Analyst] with [Heat Vision].

[Skills: [Gravitation], [Ram], [Thrust], [Throttle], [Luminescence], [Lunar Cloak]

'Oi! Aren't his abilities' descriptions just over the top? Isn't he too strong? Who the hell made such a creature?! Also, why the hell is he a simple D? He should be at the very least A+! What is wrong with this world's standards?'

I decided that I would simply ignore this one and go for a different monster completely, but it would seem my [Stealth] skill wasn't as efficient as I would have preferred it to be. The boar snorted at me, then kicked the ground. At first, I wanted to dismiss it as the monster simply doing boar things, but then it rammed into the tree I was hiding on, splitting it in half.

'Tiimmbbeeeerrrr!!!!' I jumped off the tree and fell on the ground perfectly. [Acrobatics] really made me feel like a gymnast. Something I could have never experienced back on earth.

In the moment where I was letting my perfect landing get to my head, the boar charged at me. Still, it was incredibly slow when compared to me, so I would simply fly out of the way. That was easier said than done. Its body glowed with a faint golden aura and its speed increased.

'N-No way. Is this how fast it can get with one skill?' I asked myself in disbelief as it came closer by the second. At the last second, I quickly jumped out of the way.

'Still too slow! Ha! Ichi, Ni, San! Slow it down for me.' I ordered and the brothers came from where they were hiding, their whips flailing in the air. They tied down the limbs of the boar, trying to slow him down, however he simply grabbed them along with himself and charged into another tree.

'Tch, so you are unstoppable when you go in a charge, huh. It doesn't matter! You attacked me and for that reason, you shall die on this day! You made an enemy out of the most dangerous creature to ever face this damned planet! Now die for me!'

Damn! It felt good to say all those cringe lines out loud without anyone giving me weird looks.

I created a cloud of poisonous gas around me, allowing it to slowly diffuse into the atmosphere, while creating some [Sap spores], mixing them in the air. I then used [Black Wayne Caw] to agitate the boar.

The creature was however busily trying to escape out of the complex network of vines my twigs kept wrapping around it.

'Let go of the boar!' I ordered and so they jumped out of its way. They had taken more than enough damage for the day. The boar shook its head angrily, then fixed its gaze on me. Its tusks reflected the moonlight beautifully as it charged at me once again.

I decided to test out the ability [Terror] on the boar. It failed though, seeing as the boar didn't even slow down. I guess that was that. I dodged its ram again, and it ran right through my poison cloud that had a mix of sap spores in it.

[You have received 5 health points from the Silver Crescent Moon Boar]

Slowly, health points were coming to me from this creature. And the poison would slowly kill it. Sure, it wasn't that impressive a fight, but that would be the simplest way to end things. Or so I would like to say, but the Boar had [Poison Resistance] and I doubted that could kill him.

The sap spores too would take way too long to do any sort of damage and my stamina wouldn't allow me to wait that long. I simply needed to end it all here very soon, so I just needed to wipe off his health points quickly.

I used [Peck] and [Sprint] to scratch at its fur, but I bounced off like I just hit an incredibly tough bouncy castle.

'W-what the hell? I know his defense is way higher than mine, but seriously? What the actual hell?!'

[Prey Instinct] suddenly kicked in and my body automatically twisted mid-air. When I looked at the boar, I saw that its hind limbs had been kicked at me. However, the distance between us made it practically impossible for this to touch me so I didn't understand why I did that. That is, until I heard a boom from behind me and a shadow loomed over me.

The tree behind me was falling down. I didn't understand why.

<<Notice: It was most likely the use of the skill [Thrust]>>

'[Thrust]?'

<<Notice: Affirmative. The skill [Thrust] is a skill that fires a sharp shockwave in one direction. It is a skill normally used by skilled swordsmen and spearmen>>

'Huh? So what the hell is a Boar doing with such a skill?'

I flapped my wings hard to get out of the way of the falling tree. Just when I thought I was safe, I was suddenly pulled towards the boar. I tried so desperately to escape it, but for some reason, it didn't matter how hard I flapped, I simply moved backwards.

I looked back and saw the boar once again. It's once blue eyes were now a raging red. It had popped veins meaning it was really pissed. This guy was just way out of my league. I began to hyperventilate, thinking if I would die here. After just a few days. I got too confident. I thought I could do this. I had already forgotten what happened to my nest just a day or two ago.

I was way too careless. That had always been in my nature. That was how I was. I just genuinely never cared about anything and that never ever really helped me. So why couldn't I change now even though I had been thrown into hell?!

Damn it! Too many thought were rushing in. This wasn't good. I would black out from the stress. Was I simply going to let it all end like this? No! No! Please no!

A wave of calm rushed over my body as it normally did, then all thoughts and fear of death disappeared. I was back to normal.

'W-what the hell?! This guy is strong… Way too strong? How the hell is it just D rank? Wait… I feel like I've said this before. Deja vu?'

I was getting dragged in by its skill. There was no escaping this. I would be pierced right through by its tusks. In an attempt to avoid this fate, I cloaked my body in [White Viper Scales]. My plan was that at the last second I use [Acrobatics] to narrowly avoid the tip of the tusks, and if that failed, I would just need to believe in [White Viper Scales] ability.

Something however saved me from having to use this plan. This something was a three meter tall wolf with mid-night black fur that descended from the sky. It landed right on the boar, smashing it into the ground and creating a shockwave that pushed me away.

I managed to correct my position in the air before landing. Then I saw the creature. It bit down on the boar's neck, easily penetrating through its tough hide like it were nothing. The boar, in a rage, tried to throw the wolf of its body, but the wolf was relentless. It kept biting down on the boar, scratching it about and creating several holes in its body.

Their fight was a dangerous and bloody one, smashing trees to bits and kicking up earth. I gathered all my spawns and hid behind a tree. I knew I had to go before the fight ended, but observing the fight made me realise how truly weak I was. One evolution wasn't going to change that for me.

'I want to be like that.' I told myself. I wanted to be strong. I needed to be strong. If I was going to survive in this world, strength was everything. It didn't matter what I needed to do to get strong. I just had to get strong. And really quick at that!

For now, my twigs forced me to retreat. I just moved along with them, while observing the battle between two beasts for survival. Who won, was quite obvious.

At the onset of dawn, in the safety of my nest, I could hear the howl of a victorious wolf.
