The Story Of A Walking Bush

*Hah!* *Hah!* *Hah!* A herbalist was holding a bloody wound with one hand while he was collecting berries from a weird-looking bush with another, he was surely going to use those berries to make a healing remedy. "*Sigh* How did I get myself into this mess? First I reincarnated into this useless body trying to survive but no matter what I always get into trouble." I murmured to myself as I looked around nervously checking if no one else was around. "Maybe if fate was a little bit more forgiving for me I would have reincarnated as a hero but no! I became a weak and pathetic being that can't even fight alone against a weak monster..." I remembered all these hard battles where I was fighting barely surviving because I was just too weak. The herbalist felt something weird as a chill crossed his back so he hurried and chose to cut a branch from the bush instead of collecting the berries one by one, so he raised a knife and swung his hand at the bush. "*Sigh* Now you crossed the line." I said as I sent my roots and branches to catch the herbalist's hand mid-air as my body slowly started to grow in size. "Ah! Monster! Help! Help!" Shouted the herbalist but nobody heard him as I already checked with my skill if someone was around. "YOU COULD TAKE THE BERRIES, BUT YOU WERE GREEDY AND NOW YOU WILL PAY!" I spoke with broken grammar as my voice sounded disgusting and cracked in his head. "No I am sorry I won't do that again please spare me! Ah, ghost, please spare me!" The herbalist continued to shout in panic as his face ashen completely. "*Sigh* You are too loud." I said as I grew more roots and bounded the herbalist to a nearby tree while at the same time, I stitched the wound of the herbalist with some of my roots and cut them off from my body. "Don't worry the roots will wither in an hour or so, of course not those on your wound they will stay for longer." I said to him, but surely he heard it with a different tone. At the same time my roots formed into legs and my branches into meeten-shaped hands that were connected to a chunky bush filled with leaves and fruits of different colors. I looked in the direction where the herbalist came from before I slowly started to walk towards it. "Well even if I got reincarnated into this shitty body at least I still should enjoy myself in this world filled with skills and wonders." I happily murmured to myself as I started to jump from one side to another as my destination was unknown.
