《Start of a legend》


 Awakening

    He opened his eyes, trying hard to focus them on his surroundings.


    "Where am I?"


    He looked around, finding only a small pond with grass and shrubs growing on it''s side. He looked at his hands, his dirty yet exceedingly white hands, with an expression of confusion and a hint of curiosity.


    "What''s this?"


    He looked down, seeing a naked body staring right back at him.


    "??"


    He tried to stand up, only to feel his legs giving out on him.


    THUDD


    "Ouff"


    He fell straight on his naked ass, which took on a red hue.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    " Damn"


    He stood up again, but he does so with caution, to avoid hurting himself again.


    When he finally succeeded, he took a step towards the pond.


    When he reached it, he suddenly felt the urge to drink.


    Glug Glug Glug


    "Ahh"


    He stopped for a bit, looking on the surface of the pond. He sees a face, a pale but gorgeous face with black eyes that seems to suck the energies surrounding it.


    "Is that me?"


    He tried to recall what happened to him, why did he end up here, what is he, and where he was, only to see darkness, an empty void.


    When he gave up on remembering, he examined his body, trying to see if it''s an illusion or not. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he stood up and walked away, only to find something buried under the earth.


    A small circular object, it''s color is the same as the dirt covering it, but it shines under the rays of the sun. He picked it up and inspected it, only to find himself getting hungry. With nothing else to put in his belly, he ate it and moved away from the pond.


    When he started to walk away, he failed to realize that his skin was slowly but surely turning into an earthy brown color. His feet, when touching the ground, looked as if it''s a part of the earth, in harmony with the area.

 Ability Manifestation

    After he left, a voice, so soft that if he wasn''t listening, he wouldn''t notice, said"Go, survive, for you will be one of those to populate the strong in this universe."


    "Huh?"


    He looked around, trying to locate where the sound came from, but all he could see were trees, nothing else.


    "Weird"


    He continued to aimlessly wander around until he found a small nest, filled with eggs of an unknown creature. The eggs were the size of an adults fist and was oval in shape, with brown stripes all over it.


    He took one and fiddled with it for a bit when he suddenly heard a shriek from somewhere close by.


    Creee!


    He looked up to find a beast with sharp talons, an elongated mouth, and eyes that can freeze one''s soul.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    He turned around and tried his best to run, but because he was still holding the egg and his agility was on par with a toddler, the beast caught up to him. It was already swooping down and was about to bite him when the ground suddenly broke apart with fragments that lunged themselves at the speeding beast.


    CREEE!


    It backed up and started to rise into the air. Because of the damage it had taken, the beast flew back to it''s nest, it didn''t even try to take back it''s egg from him.


    Pant Pant Pant


    Trying to catch his breath, he traced his eyes on his hands, which glowed with an earthy yellow light. Confused, he checked his body to see if the same is happening to it. He only saw that it has taken an earthy brown color, no glowing could be seen.


    He was curious about his skin changing color, but he was more curious about what happened with the ground when he was nearly eaten by that bird-like beast.


    With a slightly skeptic face, he touched the ground, only for it to respond with slight vibrations.


    A second after the vibration, he got a splitting headache and a grumbling stomach.


    After the pain on his head subsided, he directed his eyes to the egg he nearly died for, put it close to his mouth, cracked it open, and gulped down it''s contents.


    Still feeling hungry, he looked for more eggs or little critters to fill his still growling stomach.
