What is this? Is this what I killed.
What... what I see a box floating in front of me. I am unsure what it means... not that isn't true Old me has seen this before, but it's way more complicated. Is that a new thing that New me can do? I think I killed the [Horned Beetle]... that checks out, it has a horn. But... I think ten is a amount, like four. It was stronger than me, so I got a reward. But a bad thing happened. It had to do something to fix it. What did it do?
I don't understand what it did, but it fixed it. I have point remaining. What do I do with points.
Oh! A new box came up.
Is this me? Like the Horned Beetle, I am a Common House Spider. At least I think that is it, I feel that is right, and looking at [Legs 8] the amount feels right, two fours is eight. I got that Mindless Body thing as a reward, and I have spinneret and I guess venom. I don't know what all of this means. Oh, Intelligence, I need to see what that is... oh it just came up, Yay!
AHHHHH!!! This is new me!, quick, what is [Purple Hat] all my new me is from it.
Oh, I don't exist. Not really, I just exist as long as I am in the soft nest... or the [Purple Hat] I don't know what purple is, but I am doomed... unless, what is the [Mindless Body]
Oh Yay! I can exist, I need to put points into Intelligence. I got five, more then half my legs. I will put 2 in now, so I am like an animal whatever that is. It should let New me help Old me even outside the Hat. Then I will read more of these so I can figure out what else to do!
OWWWWW
I pressed the little more symbol twice, then everything started hurting. It hurts so much, like my shell is too small, Oh gosh, no I see cracks... I gonna end, how should I know that it was a trap, Owww oh it hurts so bad.
Crack
Oh, that is so much better. Why did it hurt so much... and why am I covered in cracks. Oh, my skin pulls away now... is that bad? Oh no, I have a new skin underneath. Whew, was super scared... what was that, Oh I have a box.
Oh... It was a good thing, but... it really hurt, please no more of that.

Ok, I'm going to just sit here and eat for a bit. Then I will look at more boxes and see what to do with last three points. Chomp Oh Yummy, the [Horned Beetle] tastes good.
Full, and I put my webs back. Three this time, just to be super safe, as well as a few hanging loops of silk, I think they would snag and catch pretty well. Oh... Think, that's a thing I can do now. I spent ages just thinking. I didn't even eat that much of the Beetle, so I should have tons and tons and tons of time.
Let's do some more box looking. First I want to know what the other attributes I can spend point on are. Thank you Box.
Wow, that is a ton, I don't really get it, but I am sure I will. I am curious about why some numbers are so different than others.
I am frail, bad at everything but Intelligence. I am pretty sure that those numbers that start with 0 are smaller than one. I'ma little scared, I would be so easy to end right now, I don't know... I need more attribute points... and I can't waste them.
Ok, well, what is the size mean. Is it why the [Horned Beetle] and the big ones were so so much bigger?
That is really important, I need at least one point in that, but it sounds like that makes my size jump a fair bit. Right now according to this I am much more agile than someone else my size. Is that why the [Horned Beetle] had trouble hitting me and the big ones were trivial slow?
I think it is, I have eaten [Grubs] before, they are smaller than me, but not by much... so I must be almost as small as you can be.
Ok, then, I think I want to keep being agile as I liked that it was easy to dodge. I'd better check some other things as well. Let's do detailed boxes of the rest of physical.
Ok, yes, I need these. I am sure the other score are important too, but... if I am so small I need to make sure nothing else is going to hurt me. I have 10 intelligence in the hat, and 2 outside it, so I should be able to manage. I think I can skip Agility for now, because I have so much of it, and Stamina, I can probably get away with, I have such a big food right here. I don't know how soon I can get more points, but I should be good for a while.
Ok, I am going to put 1 in Strength, and 1 in Toughness, then I wanna see how much size is changed. I might put a point into that if I am still weak, but I wanna see first.
OWWWW!
That hurt, not as bad as the [Brainspider] Trait, but is the blue box always going to be really painful? Oh... wait... everything shrunk. No, I grew, my size increased. On... is that the [Horned Beetle] It's... I must be twice as big as before. I might need food sooner than I though. At my new size I can just barely get through the smallest hole. I don't want to grow too fast, that be just dangerous. It didn't add much to my size at least, I think if I put a point in I would grow an bunch more. I'm going to save my last point for now.
Ok, I move a but faster now, my legs are longer, but also I feel lighter. I would say I am a little more clumsy, maybe because my size went up but my agility did not. I can still really move, so I think that's ok. I will try to spend points in Agility in the future.
Despite the pain, I am feeling pretty good. I am a little hungry again, I'll eat just a little more and have a rest. Then... I don't want to do this, but I think I need to find out what Intelligence 2 is like.
Ok, Here we go, I rested, and ended up eating almost half my food... I think my stamina was low. When I go out I have a few plans, I want to explore the area around the soft nest... no HAT, it's a Hat... not sure what Purple is, but Hat is clearly a thing that... that was on top of the big creatures head. Anyways, I want to set some webs to catch more food, and try to figure out if any threats are around.
