《Frogs In Puddles - SCS "Fanfiction"》 Chapter 1 - Birth of the Little Tadpole System Initialized! Congratulations. Through your actions, you have proven yourself worthy of becoming one of the Vanguard and a defender of humanity. I am Trynaia. I will assist you to uplift humanity so that you may defend your homeworld from the Antithesis threat! Rise, Toadelle Hopscotcher, and become a protector of the weak! ¡°The fuck?¡± Blanket still half covering my face, I sit up on my bed from the sudden voice in my head. I was sure that I turned off my video streaming application before I fell asleep- You indeed have. Unfortunately I am quite live at the moment. ¡°Shaddup for a second will ya, dun need dat babbling first thing da mornin¡± As silence finally fills up the room, my brain starts slowly processing what¡¯s happening. Last night was pretty tiring, I was awake ¡®till late working on my artificial biohabitats for those frog simulations I bought last week. Even if they ain¡¯t the real thing, they act just like it, which is incredibly adorable. And then I started watching videos of toads acting silly, even though they¡¯re all AI generated these days, and fell asleep a bit before sunrise. And no- ¡°Wait a fucking moment¡­ what do you mean I¡¯m a samurai now!?¡± After a moment waiting in silence, I mutter ¡°...you can speak now.¡± You have been chosen to act as a vanguard, so that you may uplift humanity and defend your homeworld from the Antithesis threat! I didn¡¯t ask you to paraphrase your introduction- nevermind that. ¡°If you are here, does that mean that there¡¯s an incursion going on?¡± I¡¯m pretty sure that the standardized emergency alarms in the United Amazonian Nations wouldn¡¯t fail at something like that though. There are hundreds of antithesis hives and incursions happening within the borders of the country, but if I must be more specific, there has been no notice of an incursion happening anywhere close to you. That sure did a lot to calm my racing heart, but my confusion was not satisfied in the leastest. I pick up my green frog hoodie and start putting in on me. ¡°Why the fucking heck was I initialized as a samurai then?!¡± The specific process of choosing the vanguard is restricted knowledge, but we have spent about five minutes looking through your personal history to decide that you are a perfect fit on our eternal quest to massacre the antithesis!Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. That doesn¡¯t make it any less weird though. ¡°But why me? T¡¯was legit only sleeping the past few hours.¡± I finally get off my bed as I say that, opening my windows and taking a look outside. Just to be real sure that there weren¡¯t any human eating plants climbing up the trees around my place. If it makes you feel any better, your reaction to this situation is better than 96.59125% of the population within the UAN, and 71.95281295% of the samurai worldwide in a situation similar to yours. ¡°You mean one where they¡¯re not even close to any antithesis, at the safety of their house, and without any danger at all?¡± Exactly. ¡°Fuck you.¡± Even if you wanted to, Protector Class XIV AI do not and can not possess any means of sexual attraction nor physical capabilities, so there would be no means for you to actually do so. In practicality, it is possible to have reproductive instincts towards some of our older avatars, and there have certainly been people who have created- ¡°Ok ok fucking stop that, Trynaia, I really don¡¯t wanna know that.¡± As you wish, Mein Fr?ulein ¡°Was that a reference I¡¯m too young to understand!?¡± The no response was humbling. I should add, you have gained 100 points from initialization. Do you wish to spend them now, or wait for a later date? I take the time to sit back down on my bed, and start thinking about what I actually want to do. On one hand, I¡¯m a samurai now. I can fix all my problems just by killing a few aliens. On the other hand, there¡¯s literally no aliens around. I was initialized with zero danger and zero stakes. I don¡¯t even know if I¡¯m actually worthy of it. Yes you are worthy of it, otherwise you¡¯d be dissing my ability to make good choices. Shut up, this has nothing to do with- wait a second, ¡°of fucking course you can read my mind!¡± In my defence, it appears that you have been naturally subvocalizing for close to your whole life. Us Protector AI can not directly read your mind without the necessary catalogs. I quickly decided that the better option is to just not think about it anymore. Don¡¯t be a killjoy~ we¡¯ve only just begun! I¡¯m really, really not interested in references I do not understand. ¡°That said, please recommend something that can make me jump really high.¡± I have to say, that is indeed a cute choice. ¡°Do you have any problems with it? I like frogs.¡± Says the toad. I swear I¡¯m gonna scrap her real soon. And that¡¯s when it all fades to black¡­ No, I haven¡¯t died or anything, all the lights just turned off. ¡°Wait- it¡¯s morning¡­¡± I am afraid that, even for me, this is quite unexpected. ¡°I kinda don¡¯t want to look up now¡­¡± Welp, too late. ¡°Why the absolute fuck is that shit so fucking huge?!¡± That¡¯s what she said. ¡°You¡¯re not helping, like at all!¡± I would recommend that we run away, there is absolutely no way anything or anyone in the immediate area could survive something like that. If I had to guess, this model would be in the fifties or sixties. ¡°Trynaia- no, Naia, buy me that jumping boost equipment, I don¡¯t care what it is or how much you need to spend, as long as it¡¯s enough to let us get the fuck out of here alive.¡± As you wish. Purchased - Class 1 Anurana Rainforest Equipment - 60 points Purchased - Class 1 Adaptable Jumper Toad Movement Suit - 35 points Points remaining 5 Now run. Chapter 2 -Jump, Buy, Kill ¡°There are probably around 10 people on earth at the moment that could deal with models above the fifties in ideal situations. This was not an ideal situation.¡± ¨C Rosaline ¡®Miraculous Miracle¡¯ Santos, after surviving the 2057 Great Amazon Rainforest Genocide during the global incursion.
There are three things that I started loving about using points to buy alien stuff. The first is that it¡¯s quick and easy to do, barely taking a moment for the requested item to arrive. The second is the broad number of options, which makes sure that you always have the ideal item to deal with any situation. As long as you have enough points for it I mean. And the third is one that''s being really useful right now, which would be the ability to just instantly equip it right after you buy it. Careful, you¡¯re on the path to hit a tree. As I turn to jump in another direction, I take a peek at the colossal body that is covering almost all sunlight. I bet you could see it even if you were on top of the tree canopy. ¡°How big is that bitch? It looks like it covers close to the whole forest!¡± You¡¯re quite lucky your accommodations were in the outer layer of the jungle. Even with the low speed, more experienced samurai would still find it incredibly difficult to escape in time before their being crushed by its weight. Speeding up my pace, I try to not think too deeply about that. I also start thanking whatever goddess is watching me for how useful this jumpsuit is. The actual fit is kinda mid, it looks like an exoskeleton that covers the outside of my legs until around my underboob area, then reaching up to tie around my shoulders. The bodysuit is quite form-fitting, but loose enough to not feel uncomfortable. That¡¯s when it starts going into the good parts. I absolutely do not understand how any of this works, but I¡¯m assuming it works just like frogs actually used to jump a few decades ago! This suit gives me kind of an artificial iliosacral joint, and in addition to various coils and probably alien mechanisms, it allows me to jump up to 17 meters in height! At a quite fast speed even, of around 12.3 meters per second! I swear I¡¯ll kiss whomever created this beauty¡­If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. I don¡¯t think any of the Anuarana would be quite kissable. They were all pretty slimy and rough, as weird as that combination sounds, before they went extinct. ¡°My first kiss was with a female Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni, I really am not that picky.¡± I always love learning that my samurai has incredibly exotic tastes. Hmph. ¡°Frogs are cute, okay? Also I do have a normal human girlfriend.¡± As far as I have seen, that same girlfriend is one that lives in New Zeland, and you two haven¡¯t actually physically interacted with each other for over three years. ¡°Doesn¡¯t make me love her any less. Your point?¡± There¡¯s an antithesis 7 meters under you. Naia¡¯s words immediately make me pause, as I jump to another tree and stare down at the darkness under me. Should I go investigate? It sure would be nice to get some points, and it¡¯s better than just ignoring it I think? Deciding to at least check what¡¯s going on, I slowly climb down until I see a huge alien laying down beside the same tree I was standing a few seconds ago, practically immobile. Fortune seems to be smiling towards you, Toadelle. This seems to be a dying model 22. It is in no condition to seriously attack you anymore, you should take this opportunity to get some extra points so that you may acquire more appropriate equipment. Still a little unsure, I break a small twig from where I¡¯m standing and throw it at the xeno, surprised to see that it actually continued being immobile. ¡°Meh, I guess the bigger the risk, the larger the reward too." I carefully jumped down from the branch, still marveling about the stability that this suit gave me even in landing, before stepping a little closer to the big boy over there. ¡°Frogs are way cuter than this little shit.¡± No doubts about that. How do you plan on going about to kill it? That¡¯s the neat part, I don¡¯t. I thought I was the one making bad quotes¡­ Ignoring the dumb AI, I start planning. ¡°Say, how much do you think it¡¯d take for the xeno to die?¡± It shouldn¡¯t be much, I¡¯m pretty sure that any decent damage you manage to deal would be enough. The only thing is that you don¡¯t have enough points to buy something like that. ¡°Naia, please buy me a good axe.¡± You do not have enough points to buy a new catalogue, so would you agree with a Class 0 - Sturdy Emergency Axe for all of your 5 remaining points? ¡°Sure, sounds good enough.¡± Purchased - Sturdy Emergency Axe - 5 points Points remaining 0 A box soon appears by my feet, before I open it and pick up my new axe with both of my hands. ¡°Time to fall some trees!¡± With all the strength I can muster, axe meets tree and tree meets axe, causing a slight cut to appear on the wood. This is gonna take a while isn¡¯t it? If you continue with this strength, it should take around 10 minutes. ¡°Imma be honest, I don¡¯t think we have that much time.¡± I say as I take another glance above the trees, the giant model slowly but surely going down at us. You will have to think about something else then. We can always run now and find easier models to kill later. ¡°No no, I can do it. Think, think, think¡­¡± Oh, maybe this might work. I prepare myself and crouch down, and as I jump towards the tree, I swing my axe so that my momentum can carry over and give me just a little bit more strength. And it works. The axe clearly cut quite a bit deeper than before. Just gotta repeat that a few more dozen times now.
