Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20200215164521/@comment-46142448-20200620202715

First step: Retrieve my knife and etch a summoning circle to the ground.

Second step: Evoke an elemental. Basic elemental geomancy shouldn't be too difficult. Whether a Sylph, Gnome, Undine, or a hiding Ignis heeds my call...

Third step: Form a covenant with said elemental. This is the hardest part, and will need a bit of bargaining, but even then, shouldn't be difficult. Should this or the second step fail, jump ahead to Appendix A.

Fourth step: Alongside my new elemental companion, escape the forest, exchanging stories and mana. If a Giant Ant is encountered, jump ahead to Appendix B.

Fifth step: Return to the forest later once my elemental companion is darkened, and convert the forest into our Demon Realm. Good end.

Appendix A: No covenant

First step: Look for a Giant Ant. Offer myself to her and her colony as a broodking, under the condition that I may study magic and alchemy while there. If successful, jump to Appendix B.

Second step: Call out for a Sabbath. There's a very good chance at least one has eyes in that forest, and they would at the very least be willing to keep monsters I would find distinctly unattractive away. If successful, jump to Appendix C.

Third step: Move through the forest in a straight line opposite the direction I faced when I emerged from petrification. Move at a steady pace, only run to escape notice/pursuit. If cornered, reaction dependent on the particular girl. Otherwise, I successfully escape.

Appendix B: Ant colony

First step: Befriend (and likely more) a Giant Ant.

Second step: Be presented to her Queen as an offering of a broodking. If declined, live a happy life with the Giant Ant I met anyways.

Third step: If accepted, make the whole Giant Ant colony into my harem, Ant Arachne included.

Fourth step: Live a happy life with my bug harem, gradually converting the forest into a labyrinthine city.

Appendix C: Taken in by a Sabbath

First step: Attempt to form a platonic relationship with the members. Study magic while in the Sabbath's care, but avoid being entrapped.

Second step: Attempt to return home on good terms. With some Sabbaths, this will be trivial.

Third step: If prior step fails, accept my new life as a loli's "onii-chan".
