Voila, I really don't know! Once, I was hanging out in my apartment, trying to make a box of Master Kong noodles on my last day so I could get my next paycheck and get elated! I am here.

No matter where it is. In fact, I'm not so sure about that either! Everything was dark, probably because I was in a box (kidnapped?). Or because I lost my eye. I personally lean towards the former because my eyes don't hurt, but, then again, if I lose my eyes, they don't hurt? Of course not, that would be stupid!

But I'm not in the box either. Look, I'm totally ready to move. Or, well, sort of. I'm somewhere, I can feel it, but I can't move anything.

Can't move my limbs, can't move my eyes, can't move my tongue... I would say that this is a very strange situation! If I don't feel anything, I'm already dead?

There are stones under my feet. Although I couldn't feel the wind, it was still a little cold. I wish I had a hand, or an arm, or just a —

grow tentacles? Cost: 1 (you have 10)

Why, hello, strange box. We're meeting again, aren't we? I don't think I'm dead yet. The last time this question came up, I kind of gave up on it, and I looked at it again and I really thought that saying "yes" might be the right answer. Maybe it's a waste, maybe it's short-sighted, but I don't care! I want tentacles!

10 -> 9

It sprouted from me. Even though I've never been an octopus before, I can control it very perfectly. Hehe. I was right about myself, I was lying on some kind of rock.

As for what I am... I feel a bit sleek. It's a bit round. Yes, now that I've felt myself (and feel like I'm being felt by tentacles – it feels weird), I can accurately surmise that I'm like some kind of meat ball. Imagine that the head of an octopus does not have any other features. Ah, except for one of my tentacles, that is! Using it, I was also able to make sure that I wasn't connected to the ground, which was a good thing because I didn't want to be a mushroom. It's not that I'd rather be an octopus, but, you know, tomato tomatoes.

... Well. I wonder if

I can — aha, I can!

I abuse the power of my only tentacles, and not only can I make my body move from side to side, but I can also maintain balance on my tentacles! I may not see it myself, but I'm pretty sure these disgusting flips I did must look cool.

.. Eye. Imagine. I wonder if I can grow one of these like long tentacles?

Long eyes? Cost: 3 (you have 9)

- expensive! But it's also worth it. So, yes, please do it!

9 -> 6

I opened my eyes. I encountered an infinite array of stars, nebulae, and bright twinkling lights, all mixed in infinite darkness, and the starry night sky greeted me like an old friend. Aha. I had to form my image very quickly. I must be some kind of one-armed octopus freak, lying on my back on a rock in the field, staring at the night sky. It makes sense, so, let's not waste time leaving the ship –

looking away, I realized that the night sky wasn't just above me. It's on either side of me, under my head, and behind me. I'm not standing on a stable, gravity-based Earth, I'm standing on some kind of asteroid, floating aimlessly, surrounded by millions of other asteroids. Some are as small as rocks, some are as big as trucks, and some are absolutely huge, they are so big that they look more like distant moons than real asteroids. The only reason I can assume that they are not small is that they are no longer rocky shapes, but round.

If I had a mouth, I would have a terrible sense of awe at this moment.

Well. Belch. Well, right, uh. Am I not on Earth then?

Look at my tentacles with faint purple and blue dots, I'm not human. Looking at the two suns from afar, orbiting tightly, one red and large, the other small and white, I was not in the solar system at all. Something very strange is happening here.

It's really weird.

However, that doesn't change the fact that I'm a one-tentacle octopus riding on an asteroid, and I don't think that's a good thing!

The only good thing about this situation is that I didn't immediately fall into danger -

a huge eye floated by. It is connected to a large patch of fleshy dark blue, shimmering and pulsating freckle-like dots. A mouth seems to open and close. Inhalation of asteroids and debris, etc.

I gripped the asteroid sitting on it tightly and watched the massive behemoth glide by. Be indifference to. Off the top of one's head.

... Good. Well.

I'm not very safe, and being a one-armed octopus probably won't help either. But! This really confirms the existence of extraterrestrial life! Wait, am I considered an extraterrestrial life? ... I'm not on Earth, but I'm life,

eh. Maybe I should go back to the first screen? This may help.

Carnivorous, Added

Now it has a tentacle and eye counter. Is that...... Somehow, it feels ominous. Anyway, other than that, it really doesn't tell me much about anything, and I might make more tentacles. Maybe that's what I'm supposed to do? Ha.

Nibbled. What who-,

I'm not alone. Whatever it was, it was small and was biting into my body. It's not very painful, but it's annoying and a little worried? It's like -, it's there. What the hell is this? It looked like a big insect, about one-fifth my size.

Nibbled. Nibble.

Good. That's it.

I wrapped my only tentacle around the bug, and although it struggled, it couldn't escape my palm. Its little leg and feet pierced my tentacles, but it didn't hurt. And now, I... What am I? It's really a kind of violence, I really crushed this bug, so what should I do? It ate me!

I should...... Eat it back?

It's an insect. I've eaten something worse. But I don't have a mouth to eat?

Long mouth? Cost: 5 (you have 6)

do it. Evolve that thing.

6 -> 1

I just open my mouth. Sadly, the angle of my eyes is very bad, so I can't really see what my mouth looks like, it's just that it has a lot of really sharp teeth. Secondly, I don't have a tongue either. Maybe it's not a good thing, but now I really don't care!

It's time for a bug! Eat it all!

I shoved the wriggling stuff into my mouth and — oh my God! It's crispy! Can't taste it. Like, crunchy. Maybe I should buy a tongue? Just to taste what? On the other hand, though, I have only one point of view, so

- 1 -> 6

oh! Good! I can earn points for eating, and having points means I can grow more tentacles?

I am sure of the eternal silence of the universe!
