2 Chapter 002: Unexpected Encounter

After the counter time in the system reached 0, I was immediately transported to a different place. Apparently, this was the "new world" the system was preparing for me. The transmigration was instantaneous, I didn't feel or see anything, I just appeared in this strange and damp place.

For some reason, I can't see or smell. Even so, whenever the moisture drops on the floor, the noise makes my mind create a kind of sensory map, as if for a few seconds I could see normally. Something similar to what some animals did in my previous world, I have a bad feeling...

Ding!

[DUE TO HOST'S CURRENT BODY LACK OF EYE GLOBS, THE "ECHOLOCATION" ABILITY WAS AUTOMATICALLY PURCHASED]

DESCRIPTION: Use sound to locate yourself and identify possible prey or obstacles. When activated, the user will have a three-dimensional perception of the environment, forming true maps of the place.

It seems that what I feared actually happened... I was reincarnated into something non-human...

"DAMN SYSTEM!"

"THIS IS YOUR WAY TO BALANCING EVENTS? GIVE ME PRIVILEGES AND MAKE ME EXCITED AND THEN THROW ME INTO A RANDOM WORLD WITH THE BODY OF AN UNKNOWN BEING THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE EYES?"

"Okay... calm down... maybe it's not that bad. Remember Rimuru, who was reincarnated into a seemingly harmless slime and then became one of the most powerful characters of all."

"But how the hell am I going to have the genius and charisma he had to make everyone around him become his allies and subordinates?"

"Okay, let's think about it later. First I have to see how strong I am."

"How did the characters in the stories really do it? Ah, yes..."

"My stats aren't as bad as I thought, of course, they are mediocre (in the popular sense). However, they are early stats, and the system was expected to give me low numbers. If my gaming knowledge isn't wrong, I have stats compared to a Goblin, except for the intelligence part. My race (Parasite) seems to be the reason for my low stats, I had already noticed the disproportionate difference in size between me and the cave I find myself in, however, I thought it was more because the cave was giant than because I was tiny."

"I have stat points and skill points that can be used to improve my stats, but I still don't know where I should spend them."

"My intelligence is reasonable, and it being my highest attribute is why I'm still able to think and remember things from my past life."

"I'm glad I don't have the intelligence of a Goblin..."

"Anyway, if I'm a tiny being like a parasite, shouldn't my agility be greater? Is the system trying to make things difficult?"

"Okay, standing here isn't going to get me anywhere... It's time to explore this cavern-"

...

As I prepared myself and learned to control my "body", a voice echoed for a few seconds inside the cave.

"What was that sound?"

"Am I hearing things?"

Using [Echolocation] I moved, crawling in search of where that voice was. It took a few minutes, but I arrived at a different location than I was before. It was a place overgrown with green herbs and crystals, it was probably where the dampness of the cave came from.

"You mean I can create and store healing ointments and potions inside my body?"

Again, the voice was heard, but unlike before it was just an inaudible sound, now I can understand exactly what it is saying.

Looking further around me, I see a small blue ball running back and forth on top of the green herbs, apparently absorbing them into itself. As I look at the scene, a dejavu hits me...
