Prologue: A Crawling Start
The moment I opened my eyes, I immediately denied the unbelievable reality before me.
What on earth is this?
"Kweeeek!"
But only a bizarre screech escaped my mouth. It wasn't even coherent language—in fact, it didn't even feel like it came from human vocal cords.
What the hell is going on?!
I screamed, desperately twisting my body, which refused to move the way I wanted it to.
"Kweeeeeek!!!"
Even so, the sound coming out of my mouth was pathetic, worse than the screech of a common bug.
Why the hell am I a caterpillar?!
I was supposed to wake up in my soft, fluffy bed. Instead, for some inexplicable reason, I had become a caterpillar in the middle of an unknown forest.
And not just any caterpillar, but a caterpillar magic beast—the kind of weakling monster that even an ordinary human could easily squish, destined to be stepped on and crushed the moment it was spotted.
