Entry one: Twelve days in the Endless Garden. One day since the FUCKING INFECTION.
"Hello, I am Richard, a Human male. Five days ago I died and somehow I got teleported into this world, which inhabited by anthropomorphic bugs. I have been traveling around since then, meeting them, them fighting them and learning from them.
There is a different reason I am making this diary though.
It appears that after regularly consuming a certain kind of tasty plant throughout my journey I have been infected by something which will inevitably turn me into one of them.
My new friends and traveling companions have told me to note down my changes. Apparently that is supposed to make me feel better somehow."
To the side of the text is a drawing of a rather distraught,young male.
Entry two: Two days since the fucking Infection.
"So, my skin is starting to become whiter and hardening in places,while my hands and lower legs are becoming pink for some reason. My fingers are also stretching out a bit."
I still can't believe that this is happening to me. My friends Elok, the Beetle and Tali, the literal Lady-bug (he,he!) are being supportive and trying to make me feel better."
On the side is a drawing of him looking at his right hand, worried
Entry three: Five days after the infection.
"So...my hands are starting to mold together and I can see little thorns on their underside. I can't grab stuff anymore, seeing the bumps on my sides I hope they will grow into replacement arms. I have grown a bit, which is the only positive I can see so far besides losing some fat. My head is also reshaping and my eyes are getting larger."
Another picture on the side displays Richard walking besides Elok who looks distraught as he has to carry everything now.
Entry four: Nine days after my infection.
"As it seems my...Richard (he, he!) is getting smaller. This coupled with me becoming slimmer with everyday is making me a bit afraid.
Continuing, I have antennae now...and I lost my nose and ears in exchange. I look rather...disturbing at the moment as my eyes are traveling to the sides of my head and rapidly growing.
It is obvious that I am becoming some kind of mantis, likely an orchid. There are worse bugs to be, I guess.
And yeah, my hands are now each, long serrated claws. I do not need a blade anymore. My toes are also molding together and my feet are becoming shorter."
The drawing on the side shows him with a hood on, cutting bread with his blade arms.
Entry five: 14 days after the start of my change.
"This morning I woke up sweating, screaming after a nightmare. I realized that i sound deeply feminine now.
My Richard is gone and has left a slit there. I try not to think about it as I watch at my rapidly feminizing and buggy form. Tali wants to teach me how to be lady-like, ugh!
Furthermore my suit of chitinous armor is complete now and my head is rectangular with two large eyes and three small, completely pink extra-eyes on top. Also, my new pair of arms is complete! I will forever appreciate the ability to hold things!
I am growing an abdomen now. Does this mean that I am getting additional organs or did they relocate?
I have chompers now. They are actually kinda cute."
The drawing on the side shows him or rather her in some concealing clothes with only her head sticking out.
Sub entry:
"Holy fuck! Some bee-dude just went up to me and tried to ask me out! God, I still feel so strange when I think about it. I of course declined but why did I stare at him so much while he walked away?"
Entry six: 20 days after the start of my new life.
"I am a Mantis-lady now. There is no denying. Looking in the mirror is see someone who is not, yet is myself.
I have a rounded chest and, some...pretty hips and thighs. My butt is also not bad. My waist has become very slim and a bit elongated. I am posing for myself in the mirror now, getting into various poses to...practice anatomy. This all feels so strange. Also my hair has become long and white with pink tips.
I have accepted Tali's lessons in femininity. She told me how to properly take care of my new plumbing and how to appear pretty, so I shake my rear a lot now. I have also...explored myself a bit and man, female orgasms are something else."
The drawing on the side displays a sideview of her blushing as she stands almost naked in front the mirror, lifting one leg while the other stands firm on the ground.
Sub entry two: Day 22 after the start of my new journey of self-discovery.
"While at the unisex hotsprings I was approached by a male mantis called Talor. His stares, oh god. My loins burned as we sat in the water together, which felt so nice and hot against my chitin. He was so pleasant to talk to. My friends are encouraging me to...get to know him closer and why do I feel like agreeing?"
On the side is a drawing of her in a shallow pool looking horny.
Entry seven: Day 26 after possibly, the best day of my life!
"I can't believe it. Yesterday I knocked on Talor's door and when I saw him I couldn't stop myself. I yoinked him onto his bed and ripped of his clothes. I sucked on his member, let him mount me and take my virginity. His touch made me feel so wet. We made love till we fell asleep together. I realize how perverted all this is but my new body is so lusty and wants to be constantly mated!
I guess I have a boyfriend now!"
On the side is a picture of Richard on her knees, holding Talor's shaft with her lower set of arms and giving him head.
Eight and last entry: 29 days after the start of my ascension.
"Here I am now, cuddling with my sleeping boyfriend around our campfire. My friends are looking at us approvingly.
I got Talor to agree to come on our journeys with us. I feel truly complete with all of them around me and from time to time, with Talor inside me.(he,he!)
I call myself Taris now by the way. This is gonna be the end of these logs and the start of my true journey in this world. I couldn't be happier!"
The last drawing shows the aforementioned scene of them around the campfire.
