(Possession)

I don't really know if I'm making progress here.

I don't feel like I'm getting farther from where I spawned.

Seriously? How huge is this forest that I've been venturing it for two days now.

Yes, two days has passed after I met that Goddess Baby.

I think I supposedly be fighting some low rank monsters like slimes or goblins now.

But I don't seem to find any hint that there were creatures like that.

Sure, I met more tanky-tigers on my way.

But, they're the only race I can find in this forest.

I tried using the Lust skill to charm them or something but it just won't work.

Maybe it won't work since they can't see me in the first place.

But why did those fish got affected?

The baby said that I must got the Ruler thingy before I can completely make use of this skill.

For now, it's totally useless.

The brightness of the surroundings started dimming.

It's getting dark but it's just been more or less 3 hours since I woke up.

This phenomenon is familiar.

This happens often on summer evenings in Japan.

It's starting to rain.

I started to look for a shed.

But I hesitated and decided not to since it's tiring and I can't get wet in the first place.

I continued walking and somehow reached a weird area.

I found a swamp.

So swamps just appear out of nowhere when it start raining huh?

This place looks strangely familiar.

Yes, this is the waterfall and a river that I found on my second day.

I'm certain that this is it because of the rock formations around it.

It's super eye-catching that you wouldn't probably miss seeing it.

But how did it became a swamp?

Its crystal-clear water become a dark-greenish Eew! Sorry I couldn't help but be disgusted.

Some lily-pads floating on the water.

Vines are all over the place.

It's literally a swamp.

I wonder if the fishes here are still alive.

I used the skill Lust and instead of fishes jumping, frogs hopped out the water.

Eek! Ew!

I couldn't help it sorry!

After a few moments of hopping back and forth the water, they stopped.

They started coming towards me.

Ah! Ew, don't come near me!

They can see me, unlike the tanky-tigers.

I don't have anything to attack them ew!

I don't really need to defeat them since I'm simply invincible.

They couldn't harm me, yes they couldn't physically harm me, but mentally!

What do you mean 'here we go again with that mentally hurt'?

I mean it! I don't really like frogs, I'm afraid of them.

Seems like my fear from my old life is still intact huh.

I just stood still waiting and thinking a way to counterattack them.

Ah! I couldn't bear this!

They're croaking all over the place, they are tearing my eardrums into pieces!

I'm scared of their growl, it gives me a chill down my spine.

Damn it! I couldn't think of a possible way to escape this dire situation.

Huh, wait, escape?

Oh yes! I could just run away from them!

But my legs doesn't seem to cooperate (as if I have any leg).

I told you haven't I?

I'm not physically harmed but mentally! Mentally!

They're just a meter away from me,

I think I'm gonna pass-out.

Uh-Ah..

My consciousness fades for a second and came back immediately.

Um, I survived?

Wait, I did not! I still see the frogs around me.

But, they didn't move an inch.

They're just croaking and hopping in a fixed place.

They don't seem to be alarmed by my existence.

In fact, they wouldn't even look at me, some of them do but they don't give me attention just like before.

It's like I'm a different being now.

Speaking of which, I can control my legs.

And it's.. Long?

D-don't tell me...

I became a frog?

Nooooo!!

How? When? Why?

What's happening?! I don't understand it at all!

I'm gonna vomit..

Nothing came out,

Yeah, yeah whatever. You're saying I'm just overreacting.

These frogs are not a regular-sized frog.

It's huge, at a size of a mature squash.

Disgusting, disgusting! I'm covered in a slime-like gel!

Not kidding, I'm gonna vomit any second from what I've seen.

Hesitantly, I began walking step by step.

I'm really a frog.

What happened? Let me check my stats a real quick.

<Lv. 2 Ghost (Possessed: Frog)>

<HP: 1/1> <MP: 128/200> <SP: INF/INF>

[Skills: Stealth, Possession, Undead, Lust]

I possessed a frog? But how?

I never remember myself using possession earlier.

Could it be possible that it activates with a skin-contact?

That's possible.

Now, how am I supposed to undo this.

I mean, I really want to get out of this slimy frog.

Let me try thinking the possession and concentrating to undo it.

Yes, you guessed it right.

It didn't work.

I guess this is my new life now.

Bruh, my ghost life isn't even finished yet and now I'm starting a new one?

The hell?

I found something in my stats eye-catching.

I leveled-up.

But I never heard or see something to notify me that I advanced a level.

You know, like those who say;

'Notice: You have leveled up'

Which I often see in Isekai animes.

Is it possible that I leveled-up after I possessed this frog?

That's not impossible.

And if that's the case, that would explain why I didn't get a level-up notification.

If I got unconscious for a second or two, maybe, the notice happened.

Man, this son of a frog!

I'm getting annoyed by this lack of customer-support this game has!

If I were to rate it, I’ll definitely rate it 1/5 stars.

I should find a way to undo this possession!

Even if it cost me a leg or two!

Lol, I do have legs now, you cannot say ghosts don't have legs. 😛

My comrade frogs are still croaking.

Weird, I find their croaks scary but this time, I actually think of them singing.

So this is how frogs sing.

To be honest, I feel like they're singing out for joy.

It's still raining, frogs do really love rain.

I'm practicing my hopping skills as a frog while I'm at it.

Since we'll never know how long this possession will take.

Maybe forever, I hope not.

I can't possibly walk with these long hind legs, no other option except for hopping.

The other frogs look at me with confused face.

Yeah, I can really tell their expressions somehow.

They're bothered from what I'm doing.

I'm hopping back and forth with a weird style.

You can say that I'm hopping while walking at the same time.

Pretty weird right? That's the only way I can explain it.

I'm on a walking posture while hopping instead of crouching like the normal frogs do.

<Skill Acquired: Stylistic Hopping>

A voice just spoke in my head.

This is what I'm waiting for! To the divine voice to talk.

Yeah, yeah whatever, I know the 'divine voice' naming is from a spider anime.

I just like making references.

I do love that anime, especially that cute spider.

From what I heard, I got a skill called 'Stylistic Hopping'.

What does it do?

I closed my eyes and try to focus on that skill.

<Stylistic Hopping: Allows the user to manipulate other movements while hopping (Passive).>

Oh wow! I never knew I could really see the skill's description until now.

Stylist hopping huh? It's not bad, maybe I can use this in the future but it's still useless for now.

Speaking of which, since I can look more information about my skills, why not make full use of it?

Let me do it for all of my other skills.

<Stealth: Allows the user to fully hide its presence from a higher being (Passive).>

<Possession: Allows the user to possess a lower being which can be done by a physical contact, Cannot be undone unless the host die.>

<Undying: Allows the user to negate all physical attacks, making the HP of the holder permanently reduced to 1 (Passive).>

<Lust: Allows the user to manipulate lower beings. If the holder has a 'Ruler' skill, allow them to control any other being.>

I'm speechless, who would know that I was carrying cheat skills all this time?

Man, I'm getting hyped.

Firstly the Stealth, which is why I'm seen by weak creatures but unseen by those strong tanky-tigers.

Higher beings must be those who are stronger than me and lower means those weaker than me.

Secondly, the Possession skill which proves that my conclusion earlier is therefore true. I could possess anyone by doing a physical contact. And my host must die first before I can get out of this body?

What? That's totally immoral.

What if I just happen to touch someone and possess them? Do they really need to die before they get freed?

That is so inhuman.

<Answer: Hidden Skill: Reflex Fear: Let's the subconsciousness take over the control of the body if the user is in fear.>

Suddenly, an answer has been given.

Since when this Appraisal system became so useful?

Back to the point, so I have a skill called Reflex Fear.

In short, it does an autopilot while I'm in fear.

That would explain why the Possession skill worked without my consent despite not being a Passive skill.

It's a hidden skill so it won't be shown on my status. I don't know if I must be happy or scared that I got this skill.

But anyways, since that Reflex Fear doesn't work unless I'm in fear, I don't really need to be so scared of touching other beings.

Next one, undying skill.

Nah, I knew this one already, baby goddess already explained it to me.

Last but definitely not the least, Lust skill, a certain goddess told me it's useless so I'm not putting high expectations on it.

But it does seems convenient.

I can control other beings with this.

But only those weaker than me.

But if I got that skill so-called 'Ruler', I may be able to control anyone, either it's stronger or weaker than me.

Is it me or the Divine Voice in my brain just worked useful this day?

I never remembered Divine Voice being so useful until now.

You know I got so many questions in my brain yesterday and the day before yesterday, but it never responded me.

Well, let's leave it to the frogs.

Uh I mean the frogs are starting to go back the swamp and leave.

They already stopped singing, also the clouds are getting brighter little by little.

After a few more minutes, I'm left alone here in the ground.

The swamp suddenly transforms again and became the crystal-clear waterfall with a river.

Yeap, this is definitely an Isekai, nothing less to expect.

This frog body of mine is hopping and moving on it's way!

I hopped a seriously high jump.

I can see the whole forest,

I was surprised to jump like this but I remembered, I got infinite stamina so what to expect.

In the heights, I caught a glimpse on a small village nearby.

What a surprise!

I'm heading towards that village right away!
