Damnation, he coughed close to the wall, this went better than I thought, yet harder than some would wish. Great... Blood and gore. This is what the living Chaos and demons are all about. Am I still that? Could be... wrong assumption. I am still myself though. Murai considered his feelings of pain and wet blood tasted weird in his beak and eyes. Some wasn''t his, he knew.

[Congratulation!] the mechanical voice said, [You have indeed won your battle fair and square, much to our disappointment]
<div>
[Devil Fox: Level 7, Canindeamon of Class E of the demonic beast has been vanquished. Additional attributes are added to your status. +3 to all Body Attributes]
[Current Body Attributes: Strenght 18, Dexterity 18, Vitality 21]
<div>
[Will added to your status]

[New ability has been unraveled and recalculated under your Anatidae species, forming a distinct line into the way of Seedlings]
<div>
[Beak''s Fury is unlocked. An offensive and beginner ability of your species]
[Beak''s Fury: An attack shall be the source of the Ends of enemies and foes. Strength stands side by side with Beak''s Fury, adding damage on top of its level, or yours]

[Lastly, a new source under special circumstances had been sought out. Additional power is earned by the outside influence]
<div>
[The Eater Status is opened]
[Status: Those are influential sources of accomplishments of various degrees, with regular, or irregular patterns of unlocking, abilities, or effects. They have various visions and requirements to get them, filling the individuals with enigmatic options outside of their species, within them, or close or far from their Paths]
[The Eater: You have been keen on the path of eating, which is strange, but the Will of the Battleworld doesn''t question that. Any source of food will be better processed, yielding a better affinity for the Vitality. A certain chance is given to understand the properties of what you eat, its rarity, effects, or history]
[Using this Status with the intent of understanding is not possible. It is a Status that has a chance to work, the more you eat. As eating is a regular thing, it might not be that bad. This isn''t a regular Status. It has various efficiency methods, and worth that are outside of Citizen''s influence]

Huh... I am no vampire duck. I am stone certain of it, yet call me old or older, but this doesn''t taste as bad as it feels. I guess thirst wasn''t something I thought of before. It was just meat, marrow, and bones so far. The bone marrow was juicy and moist, though.

Damned fox, he slapped the corpse with his beak, feeling not one bit shameless that he had just killed his source of food. Perhaps he was yet to realize it himself. Death would be fine to seek, but here you go, catching my egg in hopes of eating, and causing such unpleasant troubles when I found the first pleasure of this life. What a waste of reason to die for! We could... share this cave, you see.
<div>
How have I done it so easily? I killed it with my current power. This looks so much stronger than a tiny vermin like a duckling. BAH! Murai sneered. Who am I kidding? Any regular duckling would be dead regardless of anything, but this duckling is the great me! A person of power far above this cat, or canine, or whatever foxes even are. Canindeamon? Uh... Never mind.

everything. Soul Read showed its color for the first time, putting weird notions in his mind and soul. It was very mindful, feeling as if the notion of existence played with his ears and head. He noticed the presence of hidden beasts in some canopies, bushes, or trees, and even those out open.
It wasn''t far from watching, yet when he closed his eyes, he knew they were there. He also felt their instincts like whispers that broke his immersion.
Normalcy is questionable, He thought, when beasts and suspense go away. This is a world of monsters where the strong survive. A place where the weak are left to rot away. How amusing. In that regard, it seems similar to the Alfenhaim, or the 3rd layer of Abrailmist. Hell... most of the planets were close to Chaos itself. Power take it. Souls live because of them. That was always the case. Some things don''t change. Won''t.

What should I do? Attributes aren''t much better than before. Time is also an issue in this cave. How many days passed as I ate and slept? How is the Law of Time on this planet? With 5 suns in total, who knows... Murai figured his time was approaching some limit.
Eating the same things has its problems, but they are noticeably powerful whether I improve through battles. I can tell the usefulness of them and the Eater Status was yet to give Vitality some edge. That irks me. The Eater is rather disappointing, or am I? Murai believed that eating no longer increased his attributes, yet he still physically grew up.
But The Eather showed me the status of some bone in this cave. Its sources too, but that was it. It should give some attributes, or was it a chance? How effective it can be when it is unreliable? Murai considered his time already outside of the cave, glancing behind his back.

Well, call me small, but this is huge. He thought, not aware there was a figure eyeing him from a nearby tree. Many eyes glowed there, watching Murai''s every step.
Something moved.
