F, I’m still outside the atmosphere.
I thought I’d go to the ground with the momentum from a few seconds ago,
Possess someone appropriately, and enjoy myself with baby privileges and mock sleep rape.
But I’m a man who learns!
“This happened when I gained this possession ability…”
I let the momentum from a few seconds ago carry me and possessed a baby to get a body.
But that baby was from the poor class… a homeless woman, so to speak.
Do you know how much food and care a baby needs in a day?
My mother disappeared right after giving birth to me.
The homeless people around only looked at me once with pity or sympathy.
I wailed, “Help me!” and “Ogyaaaaaaa!”
And then. To my surprise, I was kicked to death by a homeless kid who claimed to have failed to get re-employed!
Ah, of course, I got my revenge on that kid ♪
As long as the body I entered stops functioning, I can freely possess others ♪
I found out the kid’s address.
I drove an unmanned car with its engine running nearby, a delivery truck, into the kid’s house ♪
I had confirmed that the kid’s parents were both working and not home.
The kid, who rushed out in a panic when the delivery truck suddenly crashed into his house,
Was desperately trying to get a lifetime of living expenses through compensation and damages, while the owner who had firmly applied the handbrake was shouting “Gyan gyan!”
But I smashed him into a garden tree, the very one I had possessed! ♪♪
This accident was ruled as a cold case.
From then on, I decided to choose babies from wealthy families to possess ♪
However, the more they grew, the more they became targets of their parents’ wealth, jealousy, and resentment.
“Frankly, I’ve become extremely cautious about selecting targets for possession.”
As a result, I’ve missed out on holding beautiful women.
My connections turned against me.
And just when I thought I was finally on the right track recently… I was stabbed with a kitchen knife.
And thrown onto the asphalt.
“I hope there’s no asphalt in this otherworld.”
I will conduct general surveys on the Human Race in this otherworld.
If there are many people who can see my Astral Body, my so-called spirit body, I will be dealt with, and my life will truly be over.
The individual known as me will disappear from this world.
I won’t let that happen.
“First, I’ll begin my movement to the nighttime area.”
Here and there.
There are several light sources that dispel the darkness of the night.
The brighter and stronger the light, the more people there are.
Since this is a survey.
There are few people. I descend vertically from the sky towards a light source that looks like it could disappear at any moment.
Even looking up from below, it could be mistaken for the light of one star in the starry sky.
Adventurer, Rayos.
Age 43, single.
Crush: He has a one-sided love.
Favorite thing: A fruit resembling a pear, which he says he likes because he likes unrequited love.
Short black hair.
Black eyes that seem disappointed.
Height: 164 cm. Slightly hunched.
Weight: Unknown.
He says he’s never measured it.
Equipment: A full set of camping gear, anti-monster security equipment, a cutlass made by casting in a mold, and well-worn armor.
“Haaah, only a Chariot as prey…”
Chariot.
Its body is about waist-high for an adult, and its width is enough for a sumo wrestler to fit inside a mascot costume.
A monstrously large stink bug.
Its camouflage colors vary by region, with no fixed color.
It’s a troublesome insect monster that farts and repeatedly charges at its prey.
The fart boost has a charge time of 1 minute to 30 seconds.
In a one-on-one fight, the usual strategy is to set up a weapon or trap at the angle of its charge.
However, it has a considerable impact, so beginners should prioritize their lives and hire a shieldbearer.
Or hire someone with long-range magical attacks.
Judging by its name, its exoskeleton must have considerable hardness.
Unless it’s an extremely finely crafted weapon, slashing or thrusting will break it with a distinct “snap.”
The effective blow is blunt force.
With magic, it can be defeated safely unless it’s a strong wind.
If you can’t use blunt force, magic, or hire someone, and are fighting solo.
Dodge its charge.
While dodging, try to cut off its six limbs one by one.
The limbs are more brittle than the main body.
But a child’s strength isn’t enough to do that.
Absolutely do not challenge it to a fight ♪
As I’ve said many times, your life is precious.
The part that the Adventurer’s Guild deems as a subjugation point is the two short antennae growing above its compound eyes, which allow it to see 120 degrees to the left and right.
One antenna alone is not considered a successful subjugation.
All of its parts can be processed into something.
However, if you don’t have a porter specializing in carrying luggage, don’t be greedy and give up.
If you try to carry everything back, you might be attacked by another monster and die.
If you’re solo, be content with an antenna and a few limbs.
If you use the limbs skillfully, you can even create a simple rain shelter ♪
The reason Rayos is looking at the campfire with a grim expression is that he’s only been hunting low-value monsters.
There are also about the same size Army Ants.
If you watch the attack from its head carefully and strike its neck with your sword, it’s easy to hunt.
As long as it doesn’t rub its rear against its hind legs and release pheromones to call its allies, you won’t be surrounded.
If it releases pheromones, surrounding Army Ants will immediately swarm to it.
When hunting, it’s best to check your surroundings carefully.
As their name suggests, they have a certain level of organization.
They usually move in groups of four or five from their nest in search of food.
Next, we have the Horn, a monster that is the primary food source for Army Ants.
It’s about the size of a human baby.
Its entire body is covered in very fine, long fur.
Its face is wolf-like but hidden by the fur.
It catches small animals like frogs with scents carried on the wind.
It can also sense danger through smell.
It’s generally timid.
It doesn’t appear in front of children, but it’s considered a pest that damages fields when chasing small animals.
The above two are recommended for Rayos.
But, the reason for his despair isn’t just about money.
The woman he has a one-sided love for is getting married soon.
The groom is someone he doesn’t know at all.
Moreover, he’s not even invited to the wedding! No invitation!
He subtly asked acquaintances who were invited, but they said they hadn’t sent him anything.
“…I want to die.”
Decades of unrequited love.
He had been watching her since she was a lovely girl.
But she doesn’t know him at all, it’s as good as being told he’s a complete stranger.
He has no reason to live anymore…
Not just today’s earnings, but even his survival as an adventurer is on the brink.
He doesn’t live with his parents.
He was anxious in an unfamiliar land when he chased after her, but he managed to get by until now, thinking he would marry her…
Rustle rustle. Rustle rustle.
Chomp chomp. Chomp chomp.
Did Rayos’s wish come true?
An Army Ant emerged from the bushes.
It must have been attracted by the campfire’s light.
Although it can’t be seen from the bushes, the Army Ant is rubbing its rear on its hind legs.
If he doesn’t leave this spot, he’ll be surrounded by Army Ants.
“Kill me ♪ Haha…”
Tilting its head.
The Army Ant approaches to kill the defenseless human (prey).
It has a decent amount of intelligence.
It realizes that there are no traps or counterattacks.
It sinks its sharp mandibles into Rayos’s chest with a snap.
“Ouch! Get up and kill me!”
“Chomp chomp.”
I was a fool for thinking I could die easily.
But the mandibles made holes in both lungs.
Even if the Army Ant clinging to him were killed, the blood would eventually coagulate in the blood vessels, stopping his bodily functions.
Rayos observed this scene from high above and to his right.
“Wow! This guy’s a suicide jumper~!”
He doesn’t seem to see me, though.
Can’t you show me a monster battle scene before you die? Ah, I don’t need any talk about your favorite girl or pleas for help.
Instead, I’d prefer some collateral damage magic, a final powerful spell.
…Sigh, he’s dead.
“Useless… If I transfer the survey target to the monster habitat, well, it’s known that large insects roam the forests and grasslands.”
From the state of the dead man’s belongings, it seems like the place with a considerable concentration of light sources is a base or his hometown.
However, there seem to be too many people, so I’ll decide whether to go after I see two or three more similar light sources.
Judging by the man’s features, his appearance is no different from Earth.
My ultimate goal is to be born handsome.
I have to observe the survey target thoroughly.
“Now, where should I go~~. The scent of a beauty, which one is it? I’ve decided on that light source over there~~ ♪”
Next time, I’m expecting magic ♪
