❁ Turne 4 ❁
…Maybe the invaders will show you a bit more warmth than the villagers?
.. or maybe the villagers will treat me more kindly if I help them out?
Cast Haste on myself to act faster. Then cast Stoneskin on a few villagers who are fighting the bandits.

1d6: 5You feel a surge of arcane power flow through you, imbuing your magic with unimaginable potency! Your Haste spell suffuses you with superhuman speed, making you feel lighter than air and as graceful as a divine being. Arrows whiz through the air in slow motion, and you find yourself able to pluck them right from their trajectory. To the world, you must look like an ethereal blur, existing between dimensions. Your Stoneskin spell activates with similar brilliance, empowering the affected villagers with nigh-imperviousness. The bandits' weapons clatter harmlessly against their diamond-hard bodies, allowing your bestowed allies to easily turn the tide in spectacular fashion. As the invaders are driven back, the few villagers graced by your magic turn to you, marveling at your celestial appearance in newfound reverence.
With the help of a Gun-fu fighting zebraman, you and the villagers are soon able to defeat the bandits and save the village! A few bandits do manage to get away though, kidnapping a few villagers in the process. With the invaders either lying dead on the ground or fled for their lives, the villagers cheer at you and the zebraman - the heroes who saved the day!

1d6: 3I see... This is the "Village gets attacked by invaders and the protagonist saves the village and becomes the mayor" part. But it's too early! I haven't even had time to be shocked by the fact that i am a tiny lizard yet! I really should've set my start as "somewhere out in the forest, where i am discovered by a cute girl looking for berries or something". Can i just restart? No? Ok... How do i do this, then? I really am just a tiny skink, options are kinda limited. Well, i do have a small army of women surrounding me. They'll make fine ninja maids later, but they have to survive this encounter first. I hope none of them are scripted to die... Wait- i know! The male main character always has a female sidekick who is almost as powerful as he is.
This individual MUST be found, and their ass-kicking talents must be awoken! Just laying eyes on me should be enough...
Also, I'll shorten my name down to 'The Protagonist' for the sake ease of writing for now. No, this is totally not narcissistic at all or anything. It's totally just a functional name. I'll only keep it until i am given a better one, which i will humbly accept, because i am just that humble. And definitely not because i am crap at coming up with names.
(Temporary) Name: The Protagonist
Description: smol lizard. Was high school student, totally handsome and smart, and totally not the writer's ideal fantasy-self insert. Was hit by Truck-Kun, reincarnated in another world as skink, but becoming overpowered. I.e the setup for every isekai anime that tries to be super original. Don't worry, i'll have a human form early on by the second issue, completely destroying the original premise. Also all the girls are drawn to me somehow, despite me being a literal tiny fucking lizard lmao, maybe they can see the beauty in my soul or some bullshit like that.
Abilities: Whatever the plot demands in the moment. The ability to copy/absorb the abilities of other monsters is explicit though, probably by eating them. Which also means i can eat stuff way bigger than i should be able to. And also the ability grow bigger by eating stuff, so that i can eat even bigger stuff. Yes, this will inevitably lead to me eating a celestial body by the last (yeah right) chapter.
Current Level: 1
Oh yeah, i forgot to include a level counter before. Gotta have a non-narrative way to tell everyone how much powerful i've become!
You scout about your girl-graced surroundings, seeking to find that one special sidekick whose incredible powers lie dormant just waiting to be awakened by you. After browsing through a dozen pretty, enamored faces, you aren't yet convinced you've found her… and then, off in the distance, someone catches your eye. A cute village girl returning from a trip from the forest with a basket of freshly foraged berries. Her gaze meets yours and she is entranced… but there is hesitation in her eyes. She doesn't understand what she feels, and the momentous significance of your meeting. Confusion and anxiety overwhelm her, as she adamantly resists your charm, denying the power sleeping within her and refusing the call to adventure. Instead of joining the other girls adoringly surrounding you, she steadfastly shies away from you, and her destiny.
Meanwhile, the invading bandits are soon defeated and the village saved thanks to a lightning-fast Gnomish mage and a Gun-fu fighting zebraman. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bulk rip page out of book and then eat page to gain knowleg
1d6: 3The book's innards are indeed softer than its shell! You rip a page out of the ancient tome and gobble it down like a soggy potato chip, the flavor of age-old paper filling your mouth. Yet between the stale taste and the unpleasantly dry texture, something intangible seems to cede itself to your will.
Knowleg.It's hard to decipher just what it means, but you can feel it vaguely filling the recesses of your mind with enigmatic equations and conundrums such as "1 chirp + 2 chirps = 3 chirps" and "if life gives you lemons, build a home up in the trees and feed the lemons to your younglings." And so with these mystic insights unfolding, you soon find yourself with intimate knowledge of the nesting habits of 14 different species of seabirds, along with the know-how of imitating their mating calls. …The more you know!
However, your book-eating delights are soon put to a forcible stop, as a distinctly prominent robed figure strides towards you and wrenches the injured book from your hands with a mortified expression. "You! What have you done!? You've maimed this ancient avian codex beyond repair!" He looks down at the torn page with tragic anguish, before turning to you and pointing a stern finger towards the library exit. "Out! You are henceforth banished from the Grand Library!" he declares furiously, his echoes sounding throughout the great halls.

Bite the goblin and get it bleeding! Hopefully it'll die soon, from the fear, the racing heart, and the dirty sewers.
1d6: 5*CHOMP!*
In one fell crunch, your jaws find the madman's jugular, causing blood to gush forth in unstoppable quantities. He doesn't even have time to scream before collapsing on the ground, reduced to a twitching mangled mass, his lifeblood flowing profusely out of that gnarly wound. Pretty soon the life is leaving his bewildered eyes, and all that will remain of this random sewer-goer will be a crimson, sewage-covered yet oddly well-dressed corpse.

Bonk the bandits.
1d6: 1You ready your bonking stick and make for the nearest bandit!... but you miss and bonk a villager instead (and bonked 'em good you did!)! The villager is totally bamboozled (bonkboozled?... bambonkled??) by your bonk, yelping and reeling backwards, knocking down several more villagers behind him. A chain of villagers fall like dominoes due to your inauspicious bonk, as the raiders take full advantage of the situation, killing several of the helpless victims while taking a few more hostage. To make things worse, a stray arrow hits you and you lose 1 HP!
HP: 9/10Fortunately, the village is soon saved by heroes - a lightning fast Gnomish mage and a Gun-fu fighting zebra-man. The villagers cheer at their saviors, while giving you angry glances.

Kill all the bandits with my gun-fu powers!
1d6: 5In a sequence of spectacular bravado, you maneuver from bandit to bandit, utterly annihilating each and every one of them with fists flying and pistols blazing. None of them even stood a hair of a chance against your godly Gun-fu prowess. One has to wonder why these poor, foolish bastards even tried to invade this unassuming little hamlet. Of course, there were those few bandits who got away with a few village hostages, but the vast majority of the invaders now lie dead and defeated before you. The villagers cheer at you, regarding you as the hero and savior of the village, along with a lightning fast Gnomish mage who similarly helped quell the invaders in heroic fashion. There were, however, not many cheers for the little bonking creature who only managed to worsen the situation before you saved the day.

>SUDUCE 'ghastly abomination' USING 'abdominal muscles'
1d6: 3The [ghastly abomination] seems intrigued by your [abdominal muscles]! Its attitude seems to have shifted from [murderous bloodlust] to [coy reluctance], as it stammers a fiendish giggle, a light blush appearing on its deathly-cold, phantasmal cheek. It remains hesitant however, attempting to resist the draw of temptation away from its guardian duties, yet by the melancholic demeanor of its eyeless nightmarish face, it seems to helplessly pine for you and your manly fitness.

quaint little village! It seems there's been a huge battle here recently, with the bodies of recently slain bandits as well as villagers lying about. The village seems to be at peace now, and people are cheering at a few heroes who apparently helped save the day.
