Ahhhh! It used to be such a warm place…」

「Ahhhh! It used to be such a warm place…」

I’m not quite sure where I am......, but that place—it was like my haven. It was like sleeping under an endless, sweet sunshine, a cradle of warmth that wrapped around me completely. I couldn’t move or open my eyes, yet I was at peace, drifting to the gentle rhythm of a constant,Drum sound

(thump, thump, thump),

 like a beat of heart. I’d lose myself in that melody, carried along by its quiet hum. My body seemed to thrive on it; I never even had to think of food. Every time hunger started to stir, it vanished, my belly filling up as if by magic.”

「Ahhhh, those were the days. But now... now it’s cold and damp. The musty air clings, and I haven’t been fed for who knows how long… wuuu.」

This place, once so safe, is no longer the cozy refuge it used to be. The melody’s gone, that sweet, life-giving bubble I lived in has burst.

「And the worst part isn't that? It was these tiny weird, crawling creatures who keep invading my space…」

*(Scrr...kk...kk...) *a wriggling sound started filling the air.  

「Awawawa! They’re coming back—again!」

These little, slimy, squirming invaders… they’re utterly revolting! I don’t know how else to put it.

What’s so disgusting about them, you ask?

Everything!!! Their tiny, ugly faces and those monstrous mandibles trying to tear into me. Their slippery bodies ooze some sort of horrible-smelling slime, and the countless legs, writhing all over… ugh, just thinking about them makes me want to *(blurrrrgh)*.」

But no, I can’t throw up. This was my home, my sanctuary… and, unfortunately, they’re my only food right now. 

(Gulp… slurrrrp.) **"Ugh… it’s so disgusting."**

"Should I leave and find somewhere better?"

[Nahhhhh! I can bear this much… yeah, I’ll just take a nice, long nap." Let's close my eyes, hoping for peace.]

*Skkk...reeee...ckk...*

「What the—? I ‘just’ ate, you little pests. Give me a break」!

And yet another reason to despise them.

Alright, you disgusting little freaks. You want a fight? Lemme show you who’s bossss...ss......

W…Wait.... the hell?!

I brace myself, feeling a bit of excitement as I prepare for some action. But what no one told me was that in this game, there’s no such thing as fair rules! Who said they could swarm in groups, all attacking at once?
