[Calculations complete.
Name: Nameless
Affiliation: None
Age: 1 day
Current raison d'être: None
Shape and size: Small, unremarkable sphere of liquid slightly bigger than a speck of dust.
Adaptations needed for Evolution: Way too many
Lifespan left: 12 hours.
Ways to survive: 1-Eat!]
.... ....
Ah, it sure feels nice to hear a voice telling me how long I have left to live right after regaining consciousness...
'Well, I do like that I have a whole 12 hours left to hopefully find more food.'
[Continue movement?...]
'Yes, Minis.'
[Understood.]
.... ....
[Object hit! Confirmed to be a small, round ball. By comparing it with the previous specimen, deduced it is 'minuscule food'. Eat?]
Oh no, don't tell me I will have to spend a long time eating it while sleeping again? It is probably crucial for my evolution so it should be fine, but I truly dislike sleeping for such a long time when there is so much I don't know...
Especially when I have no way of escaping harm.
'Ugh...Eat.'
[Understood.]
[Object has already been engulfed previously, duration needed to eat is reduced.
Size is now bigger, no need to surround and engulf object anymore...]
And now back to sleep...
....
...or not. I also don't feel my thoughts are that much slower than usual... Great, now I can keep my consciousness and feel the changes happening to my body and to the food.
'I can feel myself...'
[Stick.]
'Yes, I can feel myself sticking to the food and how it's getting smaller... How interesting. Hmm, I can clearly feel the round object... Should we just name it?'
[...Please be a named organism yourself first.]
'Oh yes! How can I name myself? And do I have free choice?... I seem to like the name John Smith, wherever I remember it from.'
[Names cannot be chosen voluntarily. Only power and constant evolution, as well as recognition by other organisms, can grant you a name befitting of your existence.]
'What does befitting of my existence mean?'
[Names vary depending on the rank of the organism. Unnamed organisms are the lowest yet also rarest lifeforms. They are often undiscovered and left alone.
Most common lifeforms have simple monosyllabic names. More rare species can distinguish themselves with some sort of title, and even higher lifeforms have even more rules regarding names.]
'But why is this so complicated? Didn't I name you Minis pretty easily?'
[...]
'Okay, it seems you don't really acknowledge that as your name in the first place.'
Well, with that being said, if I can't name the things I discover then I might experience another overload... I have to evolve quickly and obtain a name.
.... ....
.... ....
[Object hit! Confirmed as having the same size as first food eaten.
Much smaller than minuscule food.
Nutrients are somewhat lacking. Eat?]
'Hmmm...No. You can simply ignore all food smaller than minuscule, Minis. If it really has minimal nutrients, the time wasted on eating it will be better spent on moving slightly farther in search of something better.'
I am just glad I can automatically understand everything Minis says without having overloads or slow thoughts, it is the best way to remember all these words I have forgotten. After but a few hours of conversation, I am learning so many new words just by hearing Minis say them. I am eating a lot and growing bigger as well. However...
This darkness all around makes me feel so...
[Fearful.]
Yes, fearful.
