I checked Silver’s stats after she was born, and noticed that she was quite… well, very frail.

Her stats are incredibly low, but she seems to have some growing potential that could become her strength in the future. I am sure that she’ll grow as big as her parents as long as she levels up and gets as spoiled as I will make her feel.
However, on the bright side, she got two interesting Skills, her Racial Skill which brings a lot of bonuses and also weaknesses and then her Boiling Water Spray, which is her only attacking method. Like her father/mother, she accumulates boiling water in her throat and fires it like a deadly spray attack, quite interesting.
“Wow, it is really small!” Said Rita. “Does it has cool water magic or something?” She wondered, but Silver suddenly pointed her mouth towards the walls behind her and her throat inflated, a spay of boiling water hit the water strongly after that.
BOOM!
“A-Ah, I see… I guess she’s like her parent.” Said Rita.
“A-Anyways, let’s go cook now… I wonder if cannibalism is okay for her though.” I began to think about.
“Well, no biggie, just feed it to her and let’s see if she likes it or not.”
“Yeah, I guess we shouldn’t overthink it.”
“Gryshi!”
While we were preparing the food with Rita, Silver went to greet Belle and Loki. The two were very different than her, as summons they were more independent, didn’t required intensive care, and got by with just anything, Loki didn’t even need food, she could just get some of my mana over time, and Belle ate grass… so they were not as needy as this new baby girl.
“Mee…” Belle began to lick Silver’s face, covering her with saliva.
“Gryyyyyy!” Silver cried, feeling a bit disgusted, she was very intelligent despite being newborn.
“Grysha!” Loki made a strange sound from her big jaws, grabbing Silver with her vines and was about to throw her in her… mouth?!
“LOKI! STOP THAT!”
I stopped this bad plant before she ate Silver… Carnivorous plants are not really good at socializing. They’re plants after all, their conducts are very different than animals, even Belle was more gentler than Loki, who only saw Silver as food. I guess the mentality of plant monsters is very cold… I guess it comes with lacking a brain, or a heart… or any warmth inside of them.
Wait! Aren’t I kind of a plant too?! Am I cold too?!
…No, I shouldn’t use monster logic with me, I got the soul of a person after all, so I am clearly different!
“Elayne~ I think it’s done.” Said Rita.
“Alright! Let’s dig-in!” I said, I quickly brought Silver with me and we began to eat the tasty food.
Ding!

Since his encounter with Acorn, Mark has been speaking with the little squirrel-kin. He learned a lot about the forest from Acorn, who was overly friendly after learning that he wasn’t some sort of Wood Golem as he originally thought. Mark learned about “Lady Planta” who was said to be the savior of the squirrel-kin. Acorn also said she was a Legendary Warrior for one-shotting a boss monster, a powerful Miasma Crow with her spirit magic. Mark only grew more curious about who could this “Lady Planta” be, and he wanted to greet her as well.
Through their journey down, they encountered large groups of mushrooms which Mark was able to beat by unleashing his powers, he was able to summon Spirit Beasts, and his sheer physical strength was also commendable, Acorn was surprised by his might, and called him “Protector of the Forest”.
“You’re incredibly, sir! I have never seen somebody using such amazing magic and sheer physical power! Y-You’re an Ent, right?”
“Y-Yeah, it is nothing too much, little one. I am just using some skills and magic.” Said Mark, he didn’t really saw anything special about what he did, any player wouldn’t be surprised, but NPC were surprised by everything.
However this was the first time Mark encountered an NPC capable of interacting so much with him, he remembered the Ents being very silent, most of the time they just slept a lot, so he didn’t had anybody to talk to, finding this little friend was strangely refreshing to him.
“Hm? What’s that scent?” Wondered Acorn.
“Scent? I don’t feel anything- Oh, it smells like fried fish!” Said Mark.
“Fried Fish?” Wondered Acorn. 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕.𝚝
“It is delicious! Have you eaten?” Wondered Mark.
“I think Lady Planta once made… I think so!” Said Acorn.
“Let’s go there… maybe Planta is cooking in there?” Wondered Mark, pointing at the cave where the scent was coming from.
“Alright!”
The pair swiftly moved forward, Mark was able to move pretty quickly despite his slow almost three-meter-big body, and he quickly reached some stairs. Blinded by the delicious smell, he ended stumbling through the stairs and fell!
“Gyaaaah!”
“Uuuaaggh!”
BOOOM!
In the middle of their meal, Rita and Elayne were suddenly surprised by an enormous wooden golem falling down the stairs!
“W-What’s that?!” Cried Rita, taking out her staff and pointing it at the Ent…
“Ugh… Ah… I fell down the stairs…” He sighed. “Ah! S-Sorry! I meant no harm- Wow…” Mark was fixated in the two beauties in front of him, Rita and Elayne in their avatars looked even more dazzling than in real life… although he slightly found some similarities with Elayne, Planta didn’t seem too recognizable for him to realize who it was…
“Lady Planta! I found you at long last!” Said a cute squirrel-kin, jumping out of Mark’s body.
“A-Acorn?!
