Scene: Bees Village – Inside Precious's House
Narrator:
"Yes, the one climbing down the stairs is named Precious—that's me. It's been a year since I arrived in this world. The woman sitting on the sofa with the big belly is my Mom. She's pregnant. And the child she's holding hands with is my brother Lior."
Precious (thinking):
"Yeah… A lot happened in this one year, but 90% of it is not worth telling, so let's skip that. The main fact—Lior is my brother… I mean, he is and he isn't. Confused? Okay, let's go a year back into the past. Someone had left him here too. And yes, he's also been reincarnated."
Precious (aloud):
"I'm one year old, and in a few days, he'll turn one too."
Lior:
"Mommy, brother is here!"
Kin (Mom):
"Oh, you're awake, Preci—"
Precious (to the viewers):
"Yeah, my mom calls me Precious. Got a problem with that?"
Precious:
"Yes, Mom, I'm awake! Kogi, Mom! Lior!"
Guzy (maid/guardian):
"Master Precious—Kogi!"
Precious:
"Oh, Kogi!"
Precious (to viewers):
"In this world, Kogi means hello, good morning, good night—basically, a general greeting word."
Lior:
"Guzy, when will you teach me sword art, huh?"
Precious:
"Sword art?!"
Guzy:
"Master Lior, you're still young. When you turn five, I'll teach you both sword and magic."
Lior (thinking):
"I already know magic. I want to learn the sword! I never used a sword in my last life."
Lior:
"I can't wait anymore!"
Guzy:
"I understand. I was just like that when I was young—full of energy."
Kin:
"That's not just Lior or you, Guzy. Every kid is like that in their childhood."
Guzy:
"Ahaha…"
Precious:
"I'm hungry."
Guzy:
"Master Precious, I've made your favorite—paneer—but…"
Precious:
"But what?"
Guzy:
"Well, there's also meat from a Blue Sheep."
Precious:
"Mom! Meat? You said you'd never make meat again—so why?"
Kin:
"Uhh… I just… had a craving."
Precious:
"I'm throwing the meat out!"
Kin:
"Ah, wait—!"
Scene:
Precious walks into the kitchen, picks up the meat plate, and throws it far outside the house—along with the plate.
Kin:
"Nooo… T_T"
Precious:
"I told you I don't like meat."
Lior (thinking):
"I need to be careful around him..."
Precious:
"Lior? Did you say something?"
Lior:
"No-nope! Nothing at all!"
Guzy:
"I'm sorry, Master Precious…"
Precious:
"No, Guzy, don't apologize. I know it was Mom who told you to make it."
Scene:
Precious turns his head sharply toward his mom and gives her a piercing look. She turns her head away, laughing nervously.
Precious:
"Anyway, never mind."
Tall (Father):
"You know, Precious, sometimes you don't seem like a one-year-old at all."
Precious:
"Ahahaha…"
Precious (thinking):
"Did Dad start suspecting something?"
Tall:
"But it's good to see you're growing faster than the other kids."
Precious (thinking):
"I was thinking something completely different…"
Kin:
"When did you get here?"
Guzy:
"Kogi, Master Tall."
Tall:
"Oh! Kogi, Guzy. Kogi, Kin."
Kin:
"Kogi, Tall. How was your day?"
Tall:
"I heard rumors that the Red Spiders and Black Spiders have joined forces. They're attacking nearby jungles and villages to take control. Though it's just a rumor."
Kin:
"Still, we shouldn't ignore it."
Precious:
"Guzy! Guzy! What are these Red Spiders and Black Spiders?"
Guzy:
"They're types of spiders—much larger, more powerful, and smarter than normal ones."
Precious:
"Oh, I see..."
Lior:
"Does that mean our village is in danger?"
Guzy:
"No, no, Master Lior. We have protectors like Master Tall and Ma'am Kin. You don't need to be scared."
Tall:
"Alright, I'm hungry now."
Kin:
"But Precious threw the meat away again…"
Tall:
"I know… but honestly, I'm starting to enjoy food without meat too."
Precious:
"That's my dad for you!"
Kin:
"Hmmm…"
Scene:
Everyone eats dinner and goes to sleep.
Scene:
In the darkness, while everyone is asleep, someone is moving inside the house. Then exits.
Precious:
"It's me. For the past month, I've been sneaking out at this time. And today is the last night. Why? I'll explain."
Scene:
Precious enters the jungle, ventures deep, and arrives at a clearing.
Precious:
"This is my training ground. Yeah, I know I don't need to train, but that's only my soul. My body needs to adapt to contain my strength. That's why, for the past month, I've trained here secretly. And tonight is the final session."
Scene:
The field in the center of the jungle is full of pits and broken ground.
Precious:
"Let's begin."
Scene:
Precious starts doing 100,000 push-ups with such speed that he's doing 30–50 per second, making the ground tremble. Then he jumps 100,000 times while lifting a 1,000 kg boulder, creating craters wherever he lands. Then he begins running.
Precious:
"3… 2… 1… Go!"
Scene:
Precious loops around the jungle at such speed that dust flies into the air only a second after he finishes running.
Precious:
"Okay… now this body is perfect for me. Probably."
Precious (thinking):
"Hmm… Dad said the Red and Black Spiders have formed an alliance and are attacking nearby areas. Let's go check things out."
Scene:
Precious starts running but stops suddenly.
Precious:
"Wait! I don't even know where I'm supposed to go. How would I even reach them? Think… think… Hm… Yes! Let's use my Sense skill."
Precious (using sensing skill):
"Hmm… This is the jungle I'm in. Monsters I'm looking for will appear white. Let's expand the range… Not yet… a little more… a little more… Aha! Found them! How many? Hmm, quite a few. This must be their base."
Precious:
"Alright, let's go!"
Scene:
In another area, Red Spider King (male) and White Spider Queen (female) are talking…
RED SPIDER KING: "In a few days, this entire jungle will be ours. Then we'll attack the nearby villages too. Soon, this whole area will belong to us."
WHITE SPIDER QUEEN: "As soon as we take over this jungle, we'll get married. Then our offspring will be even more powerful."
RED SPIDER KING: "Well said."
SCENE – Precious arrives at their base.
PRECIOUS: "So this cave is their base. It looks royal, but there's no guard. Could be a trap... whatever happens, I'll deal with it. Let's go inside."
SCENE – Precious enters the cave, and the door closes behind him.
PRECIOUS: "Whoa, it's gone dark because the door closed. Low flame."
(A small flame appears on Precious' finger.)
SCENE – Precious walks further into the cave.
PRECIOUS: "Everything's fine, but this smell is bothering me. I'll have to stop breathing."
SCENE – Precious stops breathing and walks deeper. He reaches the end of the cave, but suddenly a giant red spider drops down from the ceiling in front of him.
PRECIOUS: "Oooo oh ohhh!"
RED GIANT SPIDER: "First time a human has come to be our meal willingly... or wait, maybe second or third time? Whatever. Today's a feast of human flesh. Suuuuusp"
PRECIOUS: "Look, whatever you're gonna do, do it fast. I'm very busy. I didn't even leave a double body at home. If someone finds out I'm missing, it'll be a problem. So hurry up."
RED GIANT SPIDER: "Human, today you'll become spider food. So forget your home."
PRECIOUS: "I said I'm in a hurry. Flame Roar!"
(The words he just spoke turn into fire, hitting the spider. Anyone who hears them catches fire and burns.)
PRECIOUS: "Told you I was in a hurry."
SCENE – Precious exits the cave, but realizes he's only in the center. Many spiders are resting nearby.
PRECIOUS: "Hey! Spiders! Where is your boss?"
SCENE – All the spiders are shocked, but then quickly attack. Precious uses Flame Roar again and burns them all.
PRECIOUS: "Huh, all burnt. Now I'll have to find him myself... hmm? There's a spider over there."
SCENE – A white spider hiding behind a rock watches everything. Precious approaches, and the white spider gets scared.
PRECIOUS: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. And before I go, I'll fix all this. Just tell me where your king is."
WHITE SPIDER: "Hmm... follow me."
SCENE – The spider leads Precious to the king's room and stops outside.
WHITE SPIDER: "I can't go in any further."
PRECIOUS: "That's fine. You've already done enough."
SCENE – Precious enters the room where the Red Spider King and White Spider Queen are talking.
PRECIOUS: "Sorry to interrupt."
RED SPIDER KING: "Who are you? You made it inside... must be strong."
PRECIOUS: "Absolutely."
WHITE SPIDER QUEEN: "What do you want from us?"
PRECIOUS: "Good question. My name is Precious, and I have one simple request: Stop attacking villages and the other creatures in this jungle. That's all."
RED SPIDER KING: "And what if we don't? What will you do?"
PRECIOUS: "Invisible Knife!"
(Precious cuts one of the king's legs. The knife can't be seen, but can be felt. Only those who possess or will gain the ability can see it.)
WHITE SPIDER QUEEN: "Aaaaah! Wh-what?! I surrender! Please don't hurt us! I'll do whatever you say!"
PRECIOUS: "Nice. I don't like killing anyone. Reverse Heal."
(This reattaches and restores severed body parts to their original state.)
RED SPIDER KING: "I-I'm back to normal!"
PRECIOUS: "Like I said—I don't want to kill anyone."
RED SPIDER KING: "So what do you want from us?"
PRECIOUS: "Peace."
WHITE SPIDER QUEEN: "But if we don't kill, others will kill us..."
PRECIOUS: "I'll protect you. I'll give names to you and your people. Then you'll leave this jungle and live in my village. Help the villagers there."
SCENE – Both nod. Precious gives them names.
PRECIOUS: "Red Spider King, your name is Lama, ruler of all spiders.
White Spider Queen, your name is Shala, and you'll rule as queen."
SCENE – As soon as Precious names them, they evolve.
Lama begins to look humanoid, though still has spider-like arms but bulkier. Shala now looks fully human.
PRECIOUS: "Nice. I'd usually ask what new powers you got, but I'm short on time. Let's name the rest."
SCENE – Precious names all the spiders. The one who brought him to Lama and Shala is named Kal. Kal doesn't transform into a human but gains a new skill:
Temporary Transform – the ability to transform into another being for a short time.
PRECIOUS: "Kal, I'm giving you a task to gather intel."
SCENE – Precious goes to the red giant spider and revives him.
PRECIOUS: "Ban Over!"
(This bans weak beings from causing harm.)
PRECIOUS: "I'll give you a name too – Goluck. Your job is to protect all these spiders."
