A sentient weed awakens in a deep forest with skills like Green Photosynthesis, Green Energy Drain, and Green Rhizome Generation. It struggles to grow under the dense canopy, moving slowly to find sunlight while storing life force in rhizomes. After eight days, it discovers a small clearing where sunlight pours down, and it roots itself there after using Energy Drain to wither competing weeds. It spends several days photosynthesizing and leveling up, reaching level seven. The weed observes a goblin hunt a horned rabbit; the rabbit injures one goblin before being killed by another, which then abandons its comrade. The weed uses Energy Drain on the goblin corpse, gaining a massive surge of vitality and leveling up repeatedly. It generates seeds, creating various fruits like apples, strawberries, bananas, and peaches, learning it can produce any fruit or nut from its knowledge. It experiments with modifying fruits to contain poison, creating a Poison Apple with strong toxicity after consuming magic power from the goblin’s magic stone. The poison apple kills a goblin instantly, granting the weed experience points. It repeats this cycle: generating poison apples, draining goblin corpses for energy, and leveling up. However, when a horned rabbit eats the poison apple instead of a goblin, it cannot provide enough magic power for further poison apple creation. The weed continues photosynthesizing and storing energy, raising its level to sixteen over about thirty days. Its body grows to nearly forty centimeters. One day, it hears a beautiful melody and senses a large, warm magical presence. An elf girl with golden hair, jade eyes, and pointed ears appears in the clearing, carrying a stick. The elf girl seems to be searching for something and eventually approaches the weed, peering at it closely. The weed fears being eaten, but the elf girl speaks in a language it initially cannot understand. When the weed thinks about Japanese, the elf girl responds in Japanese, revealing she can hear the weed’s thoughts. The weed is astonished by this telepathic connection, realizing the elf girl can communicate with it despite its lack of a voice. The elf girl’s arrival marks a new chapter in the weed’s existence, introducing a potential ally or companion in the dangerous forest. The weed continues to grow and develop its skills, now with the possibility of direct communication with this mysterious elf.
