A/N: Hello again, I just realized that this technically isn't a self-insert(?), since it's an OC that lived in a world very similar to ours, that I'm writing in first-person perspective not an actual self-insert... So it should technically be a Reincarnated OC story or at least a semi SI.

I might need to change the summary but eh. SI fits more.

Just a disclaimer, I don't proofread (reviews that point out continuity errors are very helpful) nor do I plan the overarching plot (not yet at least) because I just don't have the time currently. I mostly go along the flow of what I have written.

To the reviewer that asked about ships, I don't have any planned ones except if they're canon and I don't whether this story will be Gen or not, so this story having a romance is possible (though I still don't plan to write about it until much later) though it would probably be sidelined if there is something major going on. And about slash and lesb ships, I'm good with them. Though Zalzamel's sexuality is up for debate cuz I don't know what it is myself.

To the reviewer that asked why Zalzamel couldn't just regenerate his arm in the previous chapter. All damage that he takes in one form would translate into another. It's a major but very necessary weakness because that would eliminate most of the. danger if he could just regenerate his body as long he has his head nigh-instantaneously. That wouldn't be fun in the early stages of the story given how powerful he already is.

Although with that said, I do have an idea when and how I'll give him that power up.

To the Guest Reviewers (so happy/so sad), I don't know if you both are the same person but: I totally forgot about One Piece lmao. But yeah, adding some references in the future should be easy enough to do.

Malacky Titi, AGAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHA potaaaa ang tawa GAHAGAHAHA

Also, please do tell me if you have any suggestions or gripes of a sort. Whether it be some continuity errors, OOC moments, misspelled words, things that you can't understand, and stuff like that, let me know and I'll try my best to answer back. Also if Zalzamel seems to have become a Gary-stu harem overlord, please do let me know. And if there is something triggering, please do tell me if I miss them, so that I can add the necessary warnings in the chapters.

Pretty lengthy author's note, sorry bout that. I tried my best to reply to everyone.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs.

Please enjoy! :)

System: Zalzamel

What in the flying fuck indeed, me. Why the hell are bomber planes (I'm pretty sure, WW2 Era ones it seems, although they seem to be smaller than what I expected them to be) and an airship landing on top of the nest, anyway?!

At least they seem to be a little ways off from the nest, although the airship was already going downwards for some reason.

I don't even know how I'm supposed to react to this but I'm pretty sure that it's not staring blankly while the colony is potentially in danger, so move it me!

Concentrating a bit of Nen into my wings and using In to hide it, I sped towards the mountain.

Fun fact, Black Falcons in this world are actually quite brave, constantly rushing towards their predators to scare them, and some animals can learn Zetsu to hide their presence, even if they hadn't unlocked their aura nodes. So aside from the fact that I'm thrice as fast (because I wanted to be at least slightly discrete) than normal Black Falc-

I then remembered that Zephania could not transform into a bird like I do and that she was a white humanoid with wide white bat wings amongst the greenery of the surroundings. They could still dismiss her as a non-aggressive magic beast if it weren't for the fact that we were literally rushing towards their general area!

Argh, why am I so forgetful?! The fact that she was in Zetsu almost constantly when we were hunting didn't help at all. But still, she was in Zetsu. So maybe they won't notice her if we don't flaunt our aura or fly towards them..? Hopefully.

Tilting my body upwards, I launched myself downwards, claws first, as if I found prey. And as soon as I neared the ground, I transformed into a Shadow-step Wolf, blitzing towards the nest. I passed through a few unaware beasts on my way while some were stalking away from the airborne vehicles. In my hidden En, I couldn't sense any of the soldier ants around which was quite confusing.

A few seconds later, I was sitting on top of a tree nearby the mountain that the nest was in, my form that of an Illusion Butterfly, a small fragile transparent butterfly for sure, but its eyes were even better than those of falcons'.

Taking this moment to readjust myself and plan, I read the description of my new Perk.

You are able to store inanimate objects into your soul at will, as long the object in question enters through your mouth. Dying does not empty this storage in your soul.]

... HELL YEAH! An inventory system!

But I need to put it through my mouth, huh. That sounds troublesome and I'll probably be only able to put small things in it, if I don't transform my mouth.

Now... How the fuck do I deal with this situation?! There were no soldier ants that I could sense in the hundreds of meters that my hidden En could perceive which was quite frankly confusing and troubling.

I felt a weight settle on the tree, not turning around, I could see that Zephania was looking at me curiously. Her head tilted and even though I couldn't sense her aura, I just knew that she was confused. "... King?"

Yeah, it's me.

"..."

She still looked at me, confused.

Didn't I say that out loud?

I opened my mouth, and no sound came out.

I turned into a blue-spotted squirrel and said those words 'again', "Yeah, it's me."

She nodded then asked, still confused, "Why are you coverin-"

"Please don't ask." I pleaded, definitely not embarrassed by the incredibly minor thing. She looked like she was about to nod, but then I ignored her as I sensed, much to my horror, two auras several times much more powerful than mine crossing my hidden En.

Then, not even a split-second later, something jumped out of the forest. Launching directly towards the airship.

WHOOSH

This is a linebreak

Mist-Sun Forest, half an hour ago.

In the location where a battle of those at the top of the food chain occurred, the body of the loser lied down on the ground. Steam still emitting out of the bear's body.

A purple squirrel was perched on a branch, or to be more accurate, a rotting corpse of a squirrel. Its head was replaced by a purple sphere covered slightly with hair. A fungus.

Even though it had no eyes, it's 'head' was locked on towards the horizon where a certain Ant King escaped.

Suddenly, without moving its body, the purple fungus shot out of the corpse launching towards the body of the bear, leaving a headless yet incredibly still corpse of a squirrel behind. The head of the bear was suddenly replaced by the fungus.

It lacked blood. The body of the bear lacked much of its blood, hampering much of the body's strength. Its flesh nearly cooked, some of its veins popped causing internal bleeding. Moving it would have dealt a great amount of pain. But that did not matter.

The fungus did not feel pain, after all.

The body of the bear should have been nigh-impossible to move due to the lack of blood. And so the fungus sprouted thousands, if not millions of tiny tendrils, strengthening the body more than it was previously. Its tendrils moved towards the heart, imitating the motion of pumping that it had learned from the body of its previous host. Some of the tendrils themselves replaced the veins, creating a full circulation system.

The heart of the bear pumped, the tendrils of the fungus were nearly burnt off as what little blood that remained, rose in temperature. But it easily adapted, it fused the tendrils making them thicker as it staved off the heat. Holes were poked all across the body as steam escaped from it.

The aura of the bear, separate from the aura of the fungus itself, roared to life. Many times more powerful than when it was alive.

If the fungus could feel emotions, it would have been disappointed. It had fed this creature with bits and parts of its own body, constantly experimenting on how much it should feed it to ensure it would survive. It had learned the most efficient amount that it could feed the thing.

At least, it was much more powerful than its previous host.

The fur of the bear turned purple as the body stood up. The normally blood red lines was tinged with purple streaks, coloring its surroundings with its glow.

Normally, it would have turned around and settled on standing still, waiting for the proper time to reproduce or it would have chased after that strange human that was strangely not, to feed it it's flesh.

However, due to something pre-ordained by fate itself, it smelled something through the thick veil of mists that blocked most of its sense of smell. Its kind was not natural in this world, something made by another, yet they were meant to destroy their own creators, for the sole purpose of war.

HuMaNS.

Suddenly and with unerring grace, it ran. Bursting out of the mist, it's sense of smell previously hindered by the overwhelmingly thick mist, now was fully unhindered.

Crossing kilometers in a few seconds, it jumped and launched itself out of the trees towards the aircrafts which carried its nemesis.

A/N: Yes, I know this IS very very short compared to what I'm used to writing. But this seemed to be a good place to end.

And I've been stuck with writer's block for a few months (i rewrote this chap 5 times over the course of the past months, like why) and school wouldn't let up, too many fucking projects so I just wanted this part to be over with...

And just as a note, it took me around 4 hours to write this (A/Ns not included because I mostly just stared at my phone, trying to make sense of what will happen.) I want to cry lmao

Zalzamel and Zephania originally were going to face the crew and Brion head on as of this chap, but then I realized just how overpowered a single Brion is supposed to be.

Also the perk Nidhogg and its a description is mostly a reference, to how Nidhoggr (the dragon in the myth) carried the bodies of criminals underneath it's wings.

Don't worry, I'll try to make up for this by extending the length of the next chapter. Also yes, it took half an hour for it to get used to it's new body.

Also, can you guys guess the end of this arc? ;)

Next chap prolly will come a week after if I'm not bamboozled by a certain stupid teacher with assignments and projects.

Thanks for reading and I wish you a very happy holidays! :D
