I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Durability: 100

Description: A short dress made of hay is not very useful, at most it can be used to cover one's body, and it is not very durable and is very easy to break.

After putting on the simple hay dress, Yuhaka twirled around to check if it fit. Although it was just a garment made of hay, at least Zelus no longer had to worry about Yuhaka being naked. The hay dress covered her petite body well, and the hem covered more of Yuhaka's bottom. Yuhaka's big tail also peeked out from the gaps in the hay.

After taking care of his clothes, Yuhaka looked at the food he had obtained in the pine forest area, which consisted of some red berries. Yuhaka had seen these berry bushes when he was collecting hay earlier, and he picked some from them, although he could only pick one bunch of berries from each bush at most.

Restores 9 points of satiety.

Shelf life: 6 days

Description: Red berries picked from berry bushes; they taste good and are relatively easy to obtain, but they are not very filling.

Yuhaka has only collected 3 berries so far. Of course, it's not that there aren't many berry bushes, but that they've been eaten by other creatures. Before, when Yuhaka was collecting hay and food, he saw a huge turkey. The turkey suddenly emerged from the berry bush and ate the berries right in front of Yuhaka.

When Yuhaka saw such a big turkey, her mouth watered. Yuhaka herself wanted to eat meat, and now that a big turkey was right in front of her, how could she not grab it?

Then... Yuhaka realized she couldn't even catch a turkey, and she looked utterly bewildered. Finally, the turkey escaped into a berry bush, and Yuhaka rushed after it, only to find it had vanished into thin air. Yuhaka couldn't help but feel disappointed; she had hoped to have roast turkey today...

Meanwhile, Yuhaka also chased birds and rabbits with antenna-like organs on their heads. Those creatures were faster than Yuhaka. The birds flew away before Yuhaka could take a few steps forward. Yuhaka, whose jumping distance was limited, couldn't catch the flying birds. The rabbits were fast runners, but not as fast as Yuhaka. However, just as Yuhaka was about to catch the rabbit, it disappeared into a burrow. Yuhaka reached into the burrow but couldn't grab anything.

Of course, Yuhaka also tried digging a hole with his hands, but the hole was as solid as concrete, and not a single piece of soil fell out, which made Yuhaka give up on the method of digging a hole with his bare hands.

After making the hay skirt, Yuhaka opened the crafting book to see what materials he needed for his nest. He then saw that making his nest required 12 rocks, 1 shovel, 2 pieces of wood, 6 hay, and 6 twigs.

These materials aren't too many; Yuhaka could collect them all with a little time.

After spending a little time, Yuhaka had gathered all the materials. Yuhaka did not plan to place the nest there for the time being, since he had not yet found a place with plenty of food, close to the river, and with a relatively spacious area.

Yuhaka is very picky about where she builds her nest. If she could fly, she would have decided to build her home on a high mountain long ago.

However, unlike the 8-minute day and night cycle in Don't Starve, the spells in the Don't Starve world where Yuhaka is located are based on a 24-hour system, just like on Earth. But the seasons are different from those on Earth; the seasons here are much shorter.

While searching for a nesting site, Yuhaka came to the edge of a rocky area. There, he saw several enormous birds with long legs and huge eyes. Yuhaka was stunned when he saw them, as it was the first time he had ever seen such bizarre birds. They looked tall and thin, as if they had no flesh on them.

The bird's messy, black coat, resembling a small lump of coal, made Yuhaka instinctively think it wouldn't taste very good. However... Yuhaka's mouth watered at the sight of the bird's egg in the nest, which was as big as his own head.

Chapter 01 [My First Job as a System Was a Mess!?]

In this endless, dark void, countless points of light flicker. This place was created by the creators of many systems to provide a space for communication between them, and those countless points of light are each a system in itself.

In the void, shimmering white light flickers on the surface of the text, which floats in the air. If someone recognizes the unique script of this system and approaches to take a closer look, they will discover the following:

Favorability System: [Looking for effective ways to increase host favorability! OT2]

Gourmet System: [Aaaaaah—! As a gourmet system, what am I supposed to do when my host is an idiot who needs years of studying to even make a simple fried rice?! (?｀⊿?)?]

Ghost System: [Showing photos! My host and I got married! (?˙▽˙?)]

Purifier System: [A "normative reaction" detected. The Cypros has begun purification—(▼皿▼＃)]

Swarm System: [Um... do you guys know how to increase your presence? ( ?ω?) ]

And so on, it all looks just like human online forums and message boards.

However, the above are relatively common issues among these problems. After all, it's quite common for systems to chat about information and show off their hosts here, although occasionally the systems will coordinate with each other...

Just as the systems were about to give a good beating to a certain "real-life" system, one system's words silenced them all...

Primitive Zerg System: [I accidentally lost the host's soul! What should I do!? ((???|||))]

All systems: 【…………What Σ(°口°)!!? ? 】

………………

The accurate name of the original Zerg system is the [Zerus System]. Just like its name suggests, its system function is the same as the name Zerus: it is a system that specifically plunders the essence of other organisms to strengthen its host.

If the initial location had been chosen well, and her host had been a smart person, she could have become a terrifying existence. She had prepared everything meticulously, but... she still messed up!

System… Hmm, let’s just call her Zelusi. Zelusi looked at the constantly popping up surprised system responses on her screen with an anxious expression. Of course, they were all either lamenting how unlucky Zelusi was, or gloating. Zelusi clicked her tongue and said:

"Tch... As expected, those guys are just gloating... And what should I do..."

After speaking, Zelu looked at the petite figure behind her...

"Chew, chew~"

A little girl with short white hair and orange eyes was sitting on the ground, hugging her big tail, drooling, and gnawing on it. The little girl had a gray shell on her head that looked like armor.

The little girl has two pairs of arms. One pair is thicker and has gray carapace. The arms are also longer than normal and have three razor-sharp, slender claws on them. The other pair has relatively ordinary small claws.

On the little girl's smooth back, in the center, grew rows of triangular bone plates, similar to those of a stegosaurus, extending all the way to near the base of her tail.

The little girl's legs are shaped like theropod dinosaur feet, with gray armor protecting her slender legs from the thighs down. On both sides of the little girl's body are several small round dots that emit an orange-yellow glow, the purpose of which is unclear.

However, since the little girl's body is only covered by carapaces on her head, hands, legs, and tail, she is not much different from an ordinary little girl.

If you're a StarCraft player here, you'll definitely notice that this little guy looks just like a female version of Dehaka!

It's practically identical to Dehaka's larvae...

Zelus's eyes twitched as she looked at the little girl in front of her. Although this little one was a body she had created for her host's soul, if the incident that had just caused her host to fly away hadn't happened, her host would probably be yelling and screaming about turning into a little girl...

However, what Zelus didn't expect was that a body that had just been created and had no soul would give birth to a consciousness like that of an infant, which was simply unbelievable... although there hadn't been any events like hers yet.

"Hmm ╯^╰, well... although you weren't my intended host, now that the system is bound to you, I—hey hey hey! You little idiot, are you even listening to me?!"

"Ouch?"

The little girl put down her tail, which was covered in her own sticky drool, and looked at the projection panel floating in front of her with a curious expression.

Seeing that the little guy had noticed her, Zelus coughed and said in a slightly smug tone:

"Hmm, looks like you've finally noticed me. My name is Zelus, and I'm your system guide, so you'll have to try to please me from now on—Hey! You little idiot, what are you doing?!"

Zelus watched as the little girl grabbed the screen projected by the system and stuck out her little tongue to lick it.

"Hahaha! It tickles! Ouch! Don't lick me! You little rascal! Ah—! It hurts! Let go! You little beast!"

Whether it was because she heard Zelus's words or because she felt the system projection screen was too hard to bite, the little girl spat it out of her mouth with a "pui" sound. Then, wagging her long tail, she examined the drool-covered system and said:

"It's hard and doesn't taste good..."

"Ugh... How disgusting, you're covered in saliva, even though it's a little girl's saliva... Wait? You can talk? Uh..."

Zelus shook the screen to wipe the drool off her body. She looked at the little girl in front of her with some surprise, but after thinking about it, she wasn't too surprised. After all, the Primal Zerg were not unintelligent creatures, and the little girl in front of her was created using the most intelligent Primal Zerg, Dehaka, as its motherboard.

Well, if it can talk, then there should be a possibility of communication, and I can gradually guide the little guy in front of me to become a qualified host.

"Oh, right, we haven't named the little one yet, hmm... what should we name him..."

Just as Zelus was thinking of a name for the little guy, his attention was drawn to a flying beetle with a red shell.

"Ahhh, fine, it's already Dehaka's larva, so let's just call it Yuhaka, huh? Yuhaka?"

At this point, Zelus, seeing Yuhaka looking at the flying beetle leisurely hovering in the air with curiosity, said somewhat angrily:

"Hey, you little rascal, you're watching—"

Before Zelus could finish speaking, with a sullen expression, Yuhaka swiftly activated the [Kidnapping & Dragging] skill, hitting the flying beetle in mid-air and then "whoosh—" dragging it into his mouth and chewing it up.

"Crunch crunch (chewing) — Mmm!"

Yuhaka, who was chewing on a flying beetle, suddenly changed his expression, looking as if he had eaten something disgusting. Then, Yuhaka vomited the remains of the flying beetle out of his mouth.

"Ugh...it doesn't taste good..."

Yuhaka drooled some monster liquid and made gagging noises as he leaned on the ground. Zelus, who was standing nearby, immediately became nervous when she saw Yuhaka's condition.

"Hey! You silly goose! What's wrong?! Are you okay?!"

After spitting out all the fluid squeezed out of the flying beetle in his mouth, Yuhaka, with teary eyes, stuck out his little tongue and licked his arm, trying to get rid of the rotten corpse-like taste.

"Uh... something's not right..."

Seeing this, Zelus looked puzzled. In her mind, primitive Zerg wouldn't spit out their prey just because of its smell... Well, although some primitive Zerg evolved organs that could spray foul gas to avoid being eaten by stronger primitive Zerg, Yuhaka wouldn't spit out flying beetles just because of the smell of rotting corpses, would it?

"No, we have to check it out."

As she spoke, Zelus investigated Yuhaka's specific situation through the system's backend, and then Zelus discovered that Yuhaka's memory contained unique memories.

"What are these?!"

Zelus was shocked when she saw the memories before her, because the owners of those memories were the very host she had chosen. Zelus looked at these memories with an incredulous expression and said:

"What...what's going on? Why are the memories of the host I chose appearing in Yuhaka's memory??"

However, after examining it carefully for a while, Zelus discovered some problems. These memories were not complete, but composed of countless fragments of memories. The reason why the original host was a human glutton was that these countless fragments of memories affected Yuhaka.

"So that's it. No wonder the little fool vomited up the flying beetle he ate; it was because of those memories..."

Well, it's like humans. If a human who has never eaten any cooking is given food without any seasoning when they are young, then that human will find the taste of the food to be natural and will not find it unpalatable. But if a human who has eaten delicious food is given food without seasoning... well, you know the result.

However, Zelus was also puzzled when she saw these memory fragments. Since the transmigrator's soul was not present, why would memory fragments be transmitted into Yuhaka's memory?

"Forget about all that. Anyway, the original host is gone, and the current Yuhaka is alright. Let's leave it at that!"

Deciding to abandon further thought, Zelus focused her attention on Yuhaka's specific data. According to the data, Yuhaka's data was weakened due to the loss of the host's soul, which relieved Zelus.

"Fortunately, the data situation is not affected. Let's begin. First, let's see what essence Yuhaka obtained after killing that flying beetle."

Xx month xx 11:33 minutes

[Yohaka] killed [Flying Beetle] and obtained [Paralyzing Sting] essence, 1 point of pure essence, and 1 point of biomass.

[Paralyzing Tail Needle]: Attacking a target with the Paralyzing Tail Needle inflicts 15 Paralyzing Points. The higher the Paralyzing Points, the higher the probability of the target being paralyzed. (One Paralyzing Point is counted as 1%) [Requires: 50 Evolution Factors]

Zelus touched her chin and said:

"The paralyzing tail needle... it's alright, not too bad. Waiting for Yuhaka to collect it..."

Before Zelus could finish speaking, she saw Yuhaka and a dog dragon king lock eyes.

"Holy crap! When did this little idiot fall for the Dragon King?!"

.................

The scene shifts, and the primitive Zerg larva named [Yohaka] is curiously staring at the large creature in front of it. Standing in front of Yohaka is the leader of the Dog Dragon clan, [Dog Dragon King]. Dog Dragon King is slightly taken aback when he sees Yohaka, as Yohaka looks like a human yet also like some kind of monster, which makes Dog Dragon King's little mind a bit confused.

Just as Dog Dragon King was lost in thought, Yuhaka suddenly twitched and was then wrapped up in something like a cocoon. Dog Dragon King, who was still lost in thought, was dumbfounded when he saw this. However, before Dog Dragon King could react, the cocoon underwent a new change.

"Roar--!"

With sharp claws tearing open the cocoon that encased her, Yuhaka emerged from the cocoon. Her original loli-like form, which resembled a monster girl, had transformed into a terrifying alien monster. Her size had also changed drastically; Yuhaka, who was originally only 140cm tall like a loli, had grown to be almost taller than the Dog Dragon King.
