[Void Manipulation has leveled up]

[Relationship with Vespa has increased.]

I slowly woke up because of the notifications occurring, I felt like I was on a soft mattress, I put my hand on the fluffy ground and squeezed it. It was kinda hot and very fluffy, I looked up and then saw a blushing Vespa. 'Did I just squeeze Vespa's boobs... If I don't mention it, then it never happened, maybe I can sneak my way out.'

Vespa: "Hopefully he doesn't wake up..."

Excursion: "You really shouldn't have said that..."

Vespa: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Vespa screamed in shock as she covered her face in embarrassment, I chuckled as I stood up and then jumped off of Vespa and landed onto the floor. The stickiness of the floor had returned, so I could tell that the Hive was in a good condition.

Excursion: "Vespa, thank you for letting me rest on your....breasts."

Vespa: ".... Can we just not talk about this...EVER."

I nodded, I would be telling future friends, though. Why not use the chance to flex that you slept on the queen of bee's breasts? I looked up at the blushing Vespa and, then, asked a question.

Excursion: "Can I have something?"

Vespa: "Y-yes?"

Excursion: "I want to have some honey in here. Also, can you tell me what happened when I fought Nosk? It's all just a blur to me."

'If I have the honey, I can use it to sell it to the other insects in Hollownest, basically giving me free money. I could also integrate the honey for some free skills, I shouldn't do it too much though because I don't want to fill my system with useless skills. It's better to have fewer op skills than being overrun with useless ones.'

I said as I tried to remember it, but it was like there was a wall there to stop me from seeing it. Vespa looked around the room checking things out, I was confused. She then pulled out the heavily damaged and mutilated corpse of Nosk.

Vespa: "This is what happened when you fought Nosk, if you want him, you can have him."

I nodded as Vespa placed the Nosks dead body in front of me, I looked at it, thinking about how I could carry it out of the Hive to integrate it.

'Open up the Void Gamers menu, Undertale is a good pick for me. It should give me frisks abilities, so I should get an inventory of some short, unless it doesn't work that way.'

[Void Gamer (Undertale/ Binding Of Isaac): Spawns in Angel, Devil, Shop and Item Rooms. The rooms have a very rare chance of appearing, and due to having Undertale you have gained the ability to have an inventory that has the maximum storage of eight items.]

Excursion: "Well, how much honey can I take?"

Vespa: "A small amount."

I wouldn't take the Hiveblood right now, because it is too soon to do that. We are only recently allies, I don't want her to think that I'm only using her. Even though I like the things they can offer, I also just like the bees in general.

I nodded as I took out my Royal Jelly and put it in front of Vespa, who stared at it with hunger. I picked up the dead Nosks body, it was surprisingly light. I walked out of her room and saw the whole hive working at full power, they moved the honey and placed it to where it needed to be.

The work was very impressive, especially since there are this many bees. I looked around, and saw an exit to the Hive. It was a massive hexagonal hole in the wall, it had golden eggs of honey surrounding it. I looked around as I walked towards the exit, I picked up one of the eggs, none of the bees seemed to mind.

I walked out of the hive holding Nosk and a golden egg filled with honey, the cold air returned, and I heard the movement of wild bugs. The wind howled like a hound facing the moon, I saw that I was on an edge. I looked down and saw millions of gray worm like creatures wiggling around.

I took a step forward, causing some rocks to tip and fall over into the pit, I looked at my hand and decided it was a good time to use [Silk Creation]. I shot out a web from my wrist and stuck it onto, the roof I moved back and then ran off the ledge.

I swung into the air, the sharp wind blew onto my face as adrenaline rushed through my body. The string started to rip, I turned my arm into a tendril and stabbed into onto the roof, I continued to swing until I landed safely on the ground.

A cloud of dust formed when I landed onto the ground, I looked at Nosks dead body and the honey egg and stored them into my inventory. The air warped around the dead body and the honey egg, then in an instant they disappeared.

I looked in front of me and saw two Weavers bowing down, I looked at them with confusion. Why were they bowing to me? They looked up at me with respect and loyalty in their eyes.

Weaver: "Something terrible has occurred in Deepnest, you have already heard of it. Herrah has became a Dreamer and is now being used to seal the Radiance, our kingdom is in need of a leader... Can you do this for us, I'm begging you, Lord Excursion."

Excursion: "Deepnest was my first home, and is the place that I will always consider home. I will be the leader, but I am not only going to be leading it. I'm not staying in a seat all my life, so that's just a warning for you."

Weaver: "We will obey your orders, my lord."

I nodded as the two Weavers stood up, they then walked to the side, revealing a tunnel filled with webs. I let them walk a little ahead, I looked at the pit filled with worm-like bugs and aimed my arm at it.

Excursion: "I always hated you little guys."

My arm spazzed a little before it raptured and transformed into seven tendrils, I used it to consume the bugs. I gained at least one skill from it, the system registered the bugs as one being, I assume. Hopefully it isn't something like Purgatory, I don't really like that ability, it's more of a way to stall an enemy rather than face them.

[Skill Gained! Worm Blood (Passive): When injured, there is a chance for worms to leave your wounds and go to harm your enemies.]

'That's alright, but I wish it was better.' I turned around and started to walk down the tunnel that the Weavers went into.
