When I reached the creature, I stopped and stared. It was smaller than I’d realized, about the size of my head, and its glowing body flickered weakly.


    “Woah… 100% compatibility? That’s insane, But… platforms? This is such a weird ability.”


    Suddenly, pain shot through my chest as it began to glow. I gasped as my chest split open like a book, revealing my own green core. The sight was horrifying, but I couldn’t stop. Slowly, the Bulby’s core floated into me, merging with my own.

    At that moment, the man stepped forward and caught me off guard with a crushing kick to stomach.


    “Okay, I’m getting the hang of this!”


    “What is this? “How many variations does this guy’s ability have?”


    With a deep breath, i formed twin platforms beneath my feet and launchedmyself forward at insane speed. My spear thrust toward the man, but the blow was blocked, again.


    “Agh!” I coughed blood, trying to crawl away. He loomed over me, kicking toward my face. At the last second, i activated Nebastep again, creating a platform to push the kick back. The force sent the man staggering.
