Chapter 21
...I'm bored. Agh, I know, I know, I get bored way too easily, but can you blame me? I'm from a generation that's constantly on their phone, computer, or other tech device. I've grown used to always doing something and have developed a short attention span. After I reincarnated, I haven't had anything to do and it's been killing me. Who chose to place my consciousness into a tree. Other reincarnators get to be the protagonist or villain of their favorite novel or game, they get cheat-like skills, and the plot always revolves around them. Now, what do I get, the body of a plant, no cheats, and no system. What am I supposed to do here? What is my purpose in being reincarnated? Does my existence... ok, let's stop there.

The closest branch has a total of 5 leaves on it, which means I have five chances to reach the magic circle.
(4 leaves later)
My luck is terrible... I'm on my final leaf. My last chance to see what this device does, lets do it. I pull my consciousness into that last chance and pluck myself from the tree. I let the small airflow, caused by a vent behind me, to carry me to the magic device. Even though I've gotten better at controlling the leaf and air flow, all my experience comes from outside.
