Chương 1: Chapter 1
In the shroud of darkness, Nyx inches closer to the tent entrance, his movements precise and without a hint of hesitation. The unsuspecting soldier who guards the threshold, unaware of the impending threat. In one swift motion, Nyx drives a blade into the soldier's throat, silencing him instantly.
With a calculated finesse, Nyx gently parts the tent flaps, revealing an empty interior. He slips inside, a shadow in the night, and commences a methodical search for a crucial document. Nyx, the epitome of a formidable assassin, transcends the human limits in a world devoid of magic. His prowess is unparalleled—twice as swift, and three times as fast compared to the greatest running athlete in the world, with reflexes akin to a feline grace.
In this realm where magic holds no sway, Nyx is the solitary human who has shattered the confines of mortal capabilities. His presence invokes fear in all who cross his path. As he navigates the tent, he seamlessly melds into his surroundings, a skill that borders on the magical, leaving no trace of his passage.
While scouring the tent for the elusive document, Nyx mutters, "Tssk, those old geezers of the government. Sending me on a mission to infiltrate the heavily guarded military camp of the second-greatest country in the world is practically a death wish." He sighs helplessly, a reminder that Nyx is but a pawn, a dog of the government with no room for choices. Even though he surpasses human limits, challenging an entire country, especially the world's foremost, is an insurmountable task.
In the shadowy confines of the tent, Nyx's frustration simmers as he navigates through the darkness. The weight of his government-assigned missions presses upon him, a stark reminder of his servitude.
As Nyx delves deeper into the base, suspicion creeps in. No important documents, and everything unfolds too smoothly. "Even the most critical military base in a third-world country is better guarded than this," he mutters. A realization dawns, and he smirks, "So you old geezers finally want to dispose of me." His words hang in the air, a momentary silence shattered by blaring alarms that reverberate throughout the camp.
Peering outside, Nyx is met with a grim reality—he's surrounded, and there are even tanks. Chuckling wryly, he remarks, "How ridiculous." The odds stacked against him seem insurmountable, yet Nyx's laughter echoes in the face of danger.

Nyx opens his eyes and is surprised to find himself surrounded by towering trees. Not just tall, but massive, with leaves big enough for him to land on. "Where the hell am I?" he wonders aloud, attempting to move but finding his body unresponsive. Forced to observe his surroundings, everything appears oversized.
Examining himself, Nyx's eyes widen in recognition and unfamiliarity. His body now boasts six legs as sharp as spears, a mouth akin to a clipper's sharpness, and two legs at the front that look like sickles. A grimace crosses his insectoid face as he realizes the bizarre transformation that has taken place.
The last thing Nyx remembers is fighting the soldiers that surrounded him. He managed to take down a considerable number of them, nearly half the soldiers in the base, before succumbing to death. As he reflects on this, a mechanical voice resonates in his head, "Evolution system activating..." Initial surprise washes over Nyx, but he quickly calms down. Assessing the situation, he thinks, "Wait... This is too familiar, don't tell me I got reincarnation."
Although an assassin, Nyx isn't devoid of hobbies like watching anime and playing games; it's not always about slitting throats for him. Chuckling to himself, he says, "And this evolution system is my golden finger, hahaha." If anyone were to witness Nyx at this moment, they'd hear bug-like noises and see a bug seemingly laughing like a human—an oddly comical sight.
A mechanical voice rings in Nyx's head again. "Activation Complete." The next moment, a transparent screen emerges in front of him.

Nyx gazes at the transparent screen in front of him and remarks, "Hmm, this is quite convenient, just like in a game. Although I'm only level 0, I'm sure I can work it out." His excitement about this new life contrasts sharply with his past as the greatest assassin—an orphan taken in by the government, forced into a life of training and missions.
Reflecting on his origins, Nyx continues, "Even in my teenage days, I've been successfully assassinating targets with a lot of bodyguards." He shifts his focus to his current predicament, saying, "Right now, I need to know where I am. Either I'm still on the same planet as my previous life or on a different planet." However, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Nyx realizes he's not acquainted with this place.
Shaking off those thoughts, he corrects himself, "I shouldn't be thinking about that. Right now, I need to get stronger as fast as I can. Being a level zero bug makes me feel like I could die at any moment."
Suddenly, Nyx feels a jolt in his back and instinctively jumps forward. Despite his transformation into a bug, he sighs in relief to find that his human reflexes remain intact. Glancing back, he's surprised to see a giant frog towering in front of him. With only one thought in Nyx's mind – "Run."
Nyx run for his life, skillfully evading the frog's massive tongue launching at him like a bullet. The tongue whips through the air, but Nyx's agile movements allow him to narrowly escape its deadly reach. The scene unfolds with a dance of precision, as Nyx maneuvers through the forest, narrowly avoiding each attack.
The giant frog's tongue snaps and recoils, each miss prompting Nyx to push himself to the limits of his newfound insectoid agility. In this perilous dance, Nyx's survival instincts kick in, and he maneuvers with the finesse of a seasoned assasin. The air is filled with the whooshing sounds of the giant frog's strikes, and Nyx's heart pounds in his ears. Yet, with each evasion, a sense of accomplishment surges within him—he's adapting to his bug form.
The frog's relentless pursuit adds urgency to Nyx's flight. The towering trees and oversized leaves become a treacherous maze that Nyx skillfully navigates, narrowly evading each lunge of the giant frog's tongue. As Nyx races through the unfamiliar environment, his heart pounds with the realization that right now, he is at the bottom of the food chain.
