《Re:Absorb Redux》
Prologue
What''s the meaning of life?
Some would say to pass on knowledge to the next generation. Some would say to bring your species to new heights. Some would even say there is no meaning to life, or that you must ''Find your own path in life''.
Of Course, most answers would be different from each being. That''s the beauty of free will... To be able to think, say, and do anything you want within limits. But we are getting off track.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
As a being beyond most comprehension, I believe life''s meaning to be to enjoy living. If your not enjoying life, that''s not really living. The word for that is called ''surviving''. Then again, the kids better at explaining this stuff than me, considering their domain.
Who am I you ask? Who''s the "kid"? Heh... Well, I suppose you can just call me TJ (True Judge) for now. Back to the reason I even asked that question, well it''s due to a certain kid who got me quite interested... and not in that way you strange yaoi fan girls...
Huh? Want me to get to the point? Well, You may need to sit for a bit kiddos. It all started once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away...
Im Only Human
Its mind boggling how greedy humanity can be.
For thousands of years, since the aincent gilgamesh civilization, humans have been greedy bastards. They war each other for food, resources, women, and even for petty grudges. They steal, rape, torture, spy, and slave their own species... for what? For pleasure and fun? Becuz it''s their right? Because ''God'' claimed them his champions? For the ''Greater Good''?
*Snorts* All of them need some stupid excuse, huh? To make themselves feel better about what they do....
The reason I bring it up, is cuz I''m currently in a situation due to some very greedy people. You see, I''m a leading scientist in biomechanics, a pretty young one at that, being 32 and all. My main drive for this is due to my horribly failing eyesight, and my younger sister, Lola, dying of cancer..
Moving on, since I''m such an ''expensive piece of merchandise'', here I am, kidnapped from a bunch of greedy assholes, who are using me as hostage. Their simultaneously using me as a hostage for money from the government, while thinking of either selling me as a slave, or sell my cybernetic/nanotech organs to the highest bidders.
Yep, even in 2033, slaving and human trafficking exist, mostly due to our expanses to new worlds via hyper drives. And yes, we have space travel down at last. Still makes me wonder how they only used the most basic tech to improve our lifestyles and life expectancy. Hence why I''m kinda important.
Anyway, basically I''m being video taped by the kidnappers(or are they slavers?) by USA governments demands. I''m still gagged, and tied to a chair that smells like it''s been fuck on by hippos as they took a mighty shit. Also still being held at gun point by some smuggled Military grade Ion rifles (At least I hope their smuggled, God help us if these guys have someone to produce these...).
Sighing through my nose at how cliche this all feels right now, I sit back and relax. Why am I so chill? Well, it''s mostly cuz this isn''t the first time this has happened. Not to mention I''m not weak enough for these pathetic synthetic rope binds to actually keep me here.
I''m mostly here to try and exploit who''s giving them the guns, which should be easy considering how much of a blabber mouth they are when they think I can''t hear them. Idiots. They don''t even seem to speak common, so I''m not even gonna attempt to say how they sound to English... actually, I will just cuz I''m bored.
Idiot Kidnapper 1 says, "Bebhoboobza taarkzlokmais!". Translation? Nobody takes a beer like me. Of course, it''s actually kinda funny to hear. Not so funny to constantly translate. So here''s the actually important stuff I hear.
Basically, their getting their guns and weapons from some weirdo from the dead world Earth. Hm. Apparently he''s called the Grave Walker.
Well I got what I came for. I casually rip off my binds and take off my gag. ''Sorry guys, I''m not too into being gagged and tied up''I think to myself, chuckling at the dirty minded joke. Oh, the guards are screaming at me to get my hands up or something.
Rubbing a pinky in my ear from the noise, I grab my metal-ish chair and throw it hard at one of the guys, breaking his bones in the process. The other guy immediately starts shooting, but my personal shields are already up.
I go over to get the fallen Ion gun, and shoot the guy casually in the chest, which obviously kills him. Glancing around, I lift the two bodies over my shoulder and put the guns in my new holsters. Fixing my cracked circular glasses, I use my only available arm to hold out the gun.
I kick down the front door and quickly glance around. Seeing several armored hover cars and armed men around, with the military a couple miles off. Smiling widely as I think of the amount of corpses I''ll be able to experiment on, I quickly get into cover after they notice me.
They suddenly start shooting at me with their stun setting. Guess they still want me alive... Amateurs. I use the corpses as meat shields as I take out an Ion core, shoot it once to make it very unstable, and throw it at the cluster fuck of cars-
BOOM!!!!
...Well, now I can''t hear or see shit. Okay, I''ll admit, that was incredibly reckless of me... And I should probably try it again sometime! That was pretty fun, though I''ll admit that the shoot out may have been more fun, I''m still not that suicidal.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Anywho, now that my sights back, and my ears still ringing, Imma go out to check on how the corpses are doing-
...
Well... Fuck. There aren''t any usable fucking corpses damnit!
Sighing, I look over to the military, which seem to finally get closer. Lazy assholes probably waited till I was done before they actually went out to help me. Ah well, better find somewhere to hide these bodies so I can actually do stuff to them later-
My spidey senses tingle (more of an artificially enhanced danger instinct. Instincts are life savers you know?), and I instinctively raise the corse in my hand to block whatever is flying towards my head-
FUCKING HELL HIS HEAD IS GONE! Stupid fucking Ion-Plasma Sniper Rifles! I was gonna use that extra body to make a clone you know!
I look around quickly at the actual threat, and get back inside quickly. That gun can definitely get through my shields, and likely through my cypernetic body. Plus it was aimed at my head, which is something I can''t really clone easily.
That grade of weaponry is able to melt through a tank, and keep going... though it''s also highly unstable and very inaccurate. The bolts are unable to go a hundred feet without dispersing, exploding, or quickly falling.
So it''s most likely the gunner was very close. Fucking hell, my lucks bad.
Well, I guess this is it. The military of this planet is coming, and they''ll likely arrest or torture me for information on my experiments and the NUAG (New United American Goverment).... and that''s if I survive an assassin with the highest caliber weapon, and can actually aim with it.
Sighing lightly, I look at the Ion core in my gun. Then at the seemingly useless corpse in front of me... before a lightbulb lights about my head! (Literally)
Well, I did always say I wanted to go with a bang eh? I honestly can''t see a way out of this. Military here will hound me, maybe even lock down the planets ports for me. The assassin is likely getting paid tons of money to keep me out of anyone else''s hands.
I sit down and get started. I unplug my hand from my arm, and take a strange grey wire from my forearm, plugging it to the Ion core. As I do this, I start sending new commands and programs into the core, making it slowly into a timed bomb. Then, I press a few small buttons on the opening of my robotic hand and it opens a circular opening in its palm, like spheres of power were always meant to be in it...
Which too be honest, is kinda true. This hand is meant to help me reprogram Data cores (usually AI or government ones) for tons of reasons... Anyways, I plant the rudimentary bomb in my palm, unplug the grey wire from the Core, place my hand back, and then use the hand to put the actual data and designations in it.
I hear some explosions outside.. Gotta go faster... I charge the Ion core with plasma energy to make it more unstable and the explosion almost nuclear. Someone in a full body suit kicks the door down and aims at me, yelling "Don''t move!"
I smile slightly. Well Lola, looks like I''ll see you soon. Finally...
And then the world went white.
Third Person Pov
In a green moonlit meadow with a single cherry blossom tree in the middle, a young man laying under the tree opened his eyes. Being cautious, he stays quiet as he observes his surroundings.
''Where am I..?'' He thinks to himself.
"Your dead." Said a very feminine, yet deadpan tone. A hooded figure suddenly appears in front of his laid down body, as if it''s been there the whole time. The figure was TALL, at around 10 feet high. It was wearing a black hoodded robe that covered the whole of its body, and the hood covered a good upper half of its face. The visible lower half having a skeleton all jaw with a bit of muscle keeping it together... but that wasn''t the biggest thing that caught his attention.
Oh-ho-ho-no... it was the 20 foot giant SCYTHE! It''s blade was pretty much the size of an average man. The handle seemed to be made of bones, flesh, and organs such as eyes and hearts... which was creepier due to how they seemed to still be alive. The blade was seemingly made with giant sharp teeth kept together with pinkish white muscles (Tongues?).
So this was the Grim Reaper.... ''Cool'' He smils at confirmation of his death. He''s been trying for the longest time to get an actually half decent excuse to die, and when He gets one, He is usually ''miraculously'' saved. Hence his relief of actually being dead.
"Well, Hi there Ma''am." He reply to the incarnation of death with a casual air, assuming the Reaper has a gender... "What happens now?"
The feminine Reaper gives a light giggle, which sounds more like bones creaking, and it says "Now young one, I send you to the realm of the dead. You lived quite a negative life though, so you will likely be in the sea of infinite pressure for a quite a while-"
Before she/it can finish, and before his shock at what his punishment would be can settle in, a seemingly aloof and somehow chubby faces skeleton walks from behind the tree.
He wore a dusty blue sweater, a long blood red scarf, and some jean shorts, along with... cat slippers? Not to mention his creepily huge grin.
"Yo." He says, before looking at Bardrick with his blank eye sockets. "You Alright kid?"
Through the Void
Bardrick POV
My eyes narrow slightly. I dont beleive this was supossed to happen. What I expected was either be judged and sent to hell, which admittedly I was sorta terrified at truly eternal torment... Or I''d be able to actually see my beloved lttle sister again in a sort of purgatory or something...
But then something unexpected happens... What seems to be another Reaper or the equilavent of death appeared in front me. At least I assume its a ''Death''. Its another skeleton in whatI assume to be a realm of judgement... But were getting a bit off track. Said being asked for me something.
"I''m fine. Thank you, Mister..." I reply with a bit of more tension than my previously casual attitude. Why am I not freaking out about seeing skeletons talking to me? Well, Its mostly ''cause I''ve been preparing myself for years for this moment. I couldve been turned to a worm autmatically after death, I couldve gotten eaten by some monster that posed as a god, etc. I always like to think of worst case situations so I dont get shocked by much...
He noticed me being in quite deep thought- Very observant I noted, from how all this thinking is taking less than a second to process- and chuckled with a mirth that Ifelt was simutaniously fake, real, care-free, and deadly all in one... "Good to hear that kiddo. Thought for a sec you would go brain-dead on us from all that smoke coming from your ears." He states casually, his voice deep and foreboding, yet having a permenant sense of mirt in it... Just like that creepy smile of his.
The short skeleton(I mentioned he was short right?) then tilted his head to face the much taller and creepier Grim Reaper. "Hey buddy, Why ya look so grim to see me?" He says, before turning in a random direction and somehow winks his bones around his eye... I swear for a second I heard a drum as well...
The fleshier skeleton semmed to sigh, and shake its head. " What do you want this time Dusted One? Cant you see Im in the middle of something?"
"I dont have any eyes, but I do see what you mean," Dusted said with another round of comedic drums and a wink to an unknown audience. "I''m actually here to call in a favor." He says as Grim semms to rub its hidden forehead. This would be pretty funny if I didnt hear what he said next.
"Im gonna need the soul of this human here for a little project of mine." He said, dim small white lights blinking in his eye sockets, as he chuckles again.... Oh no... I then realize something. He doesnt have a scythe, instead he has a few medical sickle on his back. Something I didnt notice ''till he turned around to wink at the ''sky''. But then I recheck that memory, I also saw some syringes and other such stuff. Noone carried those around willy nilly.
So hes either a drug addict, which makes no logical sense considering what he is, or he''s a surgeon... or maybe even a scientist... And the way he said Projects had me a bit shook, reminding me of my own projects I did on both living and dead bodies of humans and animals alike. I always made their death painless if possible, but sometimes, things just didnt go their way... And this is a Reaper... I have no body, only my soul, which means... those tools...This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Oblivious to my obvious terror at such a scenerio- or perhaps ignoring it- Grim waves nonchantantly at Dusty. "Whatever. One less soul to judge." Hey, hey! Dont wave me off like that! You fucking lazy boney asshole! Stupid mysteriously OP beings trading giving sentient souls like humans trade fucking pokemon cards!!
Seemingly pleased, Dusty claps his bone hands, and I suddenly start glowing a blue aura around me, before flying towards him! Holy shit, what the fuck?! Stop chuckling you fucking creep! He suddenly grabs me by the head, and looks at me in the eye... And his left eye is glowing Purple...
"Hehe. Hope ya hungry, ''cuz your gonna be eating alot of ''nothing'' to start off." He says in a scary serious voice as he touches my soul with a golden fire, before throwing me in a pitch black portal.
Grim sighed at the sight. She didnt like how scary The Dusted one liked to act, but its not really her problem to deal with it. Still... "You didnt have to go so rough with him. H-he''s still only a human..." She said with a slight stutter in her voice. A normal being couldnt hear it due to her skeletonal nature, but her voice was full of fear. Fear of being alone with ''The Dusted One'', ''The First Shinigami''... and her eldest (Hint:Nowonly-) sibling.
Said skeleton turned his short head to her with that iconic smile of his. The same smile he made when he played with her when she was young, as well as the same smile he made to any deity governing death and reincarnation that he killed andabsorbed. He nodded at her statment, and replied, "True, but I needed to get him into that realm as quickly as possible. The owner is currently busy with her twin. That should be enough time to give him an decent affinity that shouldnt happen naturally. Add to the fact he is my champion, I think it would be smart to use my enemies weapons against them." He said in a cold and powerful tone, one that made her bones shiver in terror. Then he gave a low and hollow laugh.
"Besides. Its not like he''ll be human for long." He finishes off, before waving. "See ya Grim, take care." Then he was gone. Breathing a sigh of relief, she said, "See you soon Seigi... The Great Grim has some work to do... Nhehehe..."
"W...where am I?..."
"Who am I...?"
"..."
"..."
"Theres... Nothing here...."
"Does that mean...."
"Im nothing too?...."
"..."
"... Thinking is so hard here... I dont remember my name...."
"What was it..."
"..."
"Ugh... I think I''ll just sleep....."
"Better.. If I.... Sleep....."
Suddenly I saw a glowing small figure with long black hair covering her back and eyes, a small smile on her face. "Dont give up Brother. We''ll get through this, I promise! For science!..."
Lola.
''Yeah... Her last words.... Were to not give up, wasnt it?...''
Sighing, I gave a small genuine smile. "Sorry these lazy bones failed you Lola... I promise, I''ll do everything in my power.. to-"
...
''I... forgot my promise...?''
''No... no.... nonono...''
Suddenly a light appeared as I decended into a madness, a madness from forgetting the only thing that kept him going. A madness that will shake the world he enters, a hunger for power and meaning not seen since eons ago, and a mind to make his madness his will.
Silently, I float towards the circular white light. ''Silence'' A familiar voice in my head says with no emotions. My madness quickly being hidden behind a mask of Apathy, like I did beforeshe helped me.
After all... Madness isnt hysteria...
It can be very... heheh...
Quiet......
Freaky Family 1
Waking up in the world the first thing I ever saw.... was of a bloody and fresh corpse be torn apart and eaten by see through monsters. The first thing I felt, was the hunger. Raging.. Instense... Starvation.... Its as if I never eaten before, but know the delicious taste of food... Shaking my head for a moment, I stop and think.
Looking around, I see that we are in the edges of a very large cave.... Though I notice that when I try to see the light of outside, it hurts me (more like my eyes). Unbeleivingly so. For now, I''ll ignore that tibit of info, but keep it in mind. I also notice that whatever eyes, organs, and such feel pretty basic... and they all almost feel uneeded-
Okay, I cant. I just cant help myself. I suddenly leap towards the corpse, and open my jaw full of tiny sharp teep. Only through ripping my teeth into the corpse, having the taste of bood on my tongue, and the flesh and bones of it in my stomach, I smile. Ah thats better... Now where was I-
|
You have eaten a Troll! Traits and skills gained!
Thick Skin. Minor Regeneration. +5 Strength and Constitution Teeth, Skin, and hairs future growth mutated.

...
What-
Suddenly I feel my entire body shift and change. I started growing skin that was grey, along with what looks to be white scales. New black hairs came from my head, elongating to the middle of my back in a loosely spiky and messy way.
Speaking of ''back'', I noticed it also was changing by getting two white scaled wings, each double my size. My teeth got much thicker and longer, another small row of teeth of teeth growing behind the first row... and my size certainly grew. I think was I now around a meter in a half now... which was surprisingly human sized... thick claws appeared on my new toes and fingers, though my hands and body is a little too thick to be used in any flexible or fast way. A tail also appeared, being almost as long as on of my wings and having a few small spikes on the edges... But none of these changes hurt. They just felt natural, like eating or sleeping.
Though I was still wondering about that notification. Well, it may be silly to say with nothing reacting to you, but both considering the only little monsters I see are feasting on the remains of my little frenzy, and that I just saw a blue screen in front of me... "Stashut Sheern!" I said with a surprisingly deep and primal tone to it...
Nothing happened. Huh? Was it ''cause my tongue and such arent fully developed or something stupid like that!? Hm. Maybe it''ll actually respond to thoughts. Best stay in thoughts anyways for now, since I dont want too much attention from these small little brothers and sisters of mine.
Ona side note, some seem to be growing well, some already started to look a bit like me. I wonder why I was so easy to develop? Guess we''ll find out soon... Status.

Hm.. Very interesting~ So I have a status menu... Hehehe, that''s pretty cool. I''m just gonna dumb myself down a little bit for right now, so I won''t contemplate major questions like:Why am I a monster? Where am I? What am I to do? Am I in an manga cliche right now based on Re:Monster?
... Hm. Questions for a time where I''m not surrounded by corpses and monsters... Though I guess I can answer the obvious ones. Priority one;Where am I?
Short answer? A cave. Or maybe a den? It''s a large cavern, which seems to be pretty deep into the ground. I can guess it is a den from the huge pile of Bones and rotting flesh in the corner, aside from the obvious baby monsters of which I''ve been born with.
Now.What to do? Well, I can try out any abilities I have. Try to level up. Get more powerful, and maybe I can even make myself a harem empire and rule the world!!
Pft... Aside from the last one, I should figure out the first two. I should also establish myself with my kin. I don''t exactly want to be leader of these little guys right now, so I''ll leave that to mother.
Getting back to the point, getting stronger... Should actually be very easy, if how I just got stats and traits/abilities just by eating. Not to mention that one titles details said I had some sort of free skill from the Store. It may not be the smartest idea to get a skill right now but... It can''t hurt to see my options.

Well then.. There''s no descriptions, not that any of them but the last one needed such. Not picking Rage, due to it''s limit and it''s name not making it sound like a trust worthy skill. Teleportation would be awesome, but training that up may actually be more trouble than it''s worth...
That leaves the Organic Manipulation. Something that I''ve always been interested in, even if I was never really one for overly complex or long names. The potential use for this was nigh unlimited in a fantasy world, assuming that''s where I was reincarnated in.
Sighing lightly, I look around to see the other little siblings either sleeping, eating, or play fighting...
Hm...System, I choose Organic Manipulation.

Hehe... Now to go over to those old piles of corpses to see what I can find~
The Gluttonous Ancient (Halloween Special)
Crouching over piles and piles of old, rotten, and/or rotten cavadars, I cover my nose at the horrible smell. Im not very sensitive to corpses. Both due to my natural monster instincts, and my past life''s experience in death and corpses.
But damn, the smell is still disgusting, especially to my newly developed nose. Around the corpses were hundreds of different types of bugs. Spiders, maggots, flies, centipedes, mosquitos, a whole insect ecosystem based off the corpses on the ground.
A toothy smile appears on my face. Awhole ecosystem, all just there for me to train my most interesting, and perhaps most OP skill;Parasitic Feast.
| Parasitic Feast Lv. 1 |
|
"You are what you eat."
Unique Skill; Skills and abilities can be gained through eating and absorbing the DNA of other creatures. 15% Chance Success [Permanent].
|
A skill that''s probably not very strong at this stage, considering my weak body and state... But if I add in insects to the equation.... Hehehe~
There are thousands of different types of bugs, and that was just on a world as one tracked as earth. This skills limit on only 25% chance seems a bit obsolete when you take in the factor of their numbers.
It''s for this reason why I decided to go over to the bugs first as my first prey. It may seem weak, but the potiental DNA and traits gains are insane!
Of course, I decided that maybe describing how a giant monster (in comparison to the bugs) eats some bugs would be boring, so I decided to make it a bit interesting by imagining their situations in their last few moments.
Being a spider was an easy life. All you had to do was hide near your practically see through webs, wait for a few flies or mosquitos to get in it, and just make sure their preserved for later eating. A simple, if boring life.
Such were the thoughts of a certain spider. She was bigger, faster, and much more poisonous than her couple hundred sisters. Not to mention smarter. Much smarter.
Hissing the equivalent of a sigh for a spider, she thinks to herself, ''Sometimes I wish I was as ignorant as my siblings... Then I wouldn''t know how boring sitting all day just for some food would be... Or even have emotions in the first place. I could''ve just been had a nice life...''.
Hissing again quietly, she suddenly saw dozens of flies, and even a few mosquitos fly into her web. Even when they hit the web, they kept trying to get going, as if they were being chased. But the only thing that they''d run from in these cases were an evolved or flying variant of the insects already around. Her instincts suddenly were screaming at her to stay hidden, to not show myself... But I have to preserve the food before they destroy my web.
It wasn''t because she was curious about what was causing all the racket. Not at all. Quickly moving to the closest fly, she started spinning it with her long 16 legs, spinning the fly in a web of see-through web that looked black when compacted. Looking up with one of her many eyes, she saw... It.
It was enormous, larger than most insects. It had a dark grey shell with five thick and long legs. It had sharp teeth on the edges of it''s legs for some reason, or were those pincers? Thething was around her size, which was truly saying something considering she was perhaps the largest spider in her last couple dozen generations.
It seemed to have no mouth, yet moved with an aura of starvation. No eyes, yet seemingly completely aware of it''s surroundings. It was picking up any and every insect that caught it''s interest. The fastest centipedes too slow, the most mutated mosquitos too weak, the largest spiders too small...
She didn''t even remember that she was out in the open until she saw it heading towards her. In a panic, she quickly jumped through her web, hoping her web stopped it from getting to her as well, before landing in the white bones of the Ancients.
''What the fuck is that!?'' She thought, speeding away as she noted the hand take everything that was in her webaway. Her strong webs seemingly nothing but maggot skin to the monster!
Hiding under the bones, she allowed herself to relax a bit. ''That... That.... What is going on?? What was that thing??'' Her thought speeding by almost as fast as her breathing.
Suddenly, five large dark grey tendrils seemed to wrap over her, and the bones she was upside down on, into a cage-like position.
Crrraaack-
The bones she was onCRACKED. The bones she''s always thought of as practicallyindestrucable, broke on her from the calamity...
Her breath hitched from how quick and sudden she went above the ground, staying completely still from fear, focusing solely on staying on the bone.
''This isn''t happening. This isn''t happening. This isn''t happening! This isn''t happening!!''
Rising high above the rest of the insects, she truly saw what was happening.
She saw her whole world. Her little world built upon the ancients, saw how many places were destroyed in the path of the beast. Flies trying to escape, mosquitos too confused to get anywhere, spiders hiding in plain sight, centipedes running away...
Looking towards what was causing all this destruction, she saw it. The gaping abyss that is death within the maw of a vastly overpowering predator. She was looking at a living Ancient...
An Ancient that devoured all in it''s path. A gluttonous abyss, never satisfied, all encompassing and all consuming. As she stared into the dark maw full of thousands of small sharp teeth behind a line up of large teeth the size of the ''legs'' holding her, she sighed.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
This is what she gets for complaining about a boring life, huh? Well... Fuck-
A blue screen was all she saw, before the dark void of a maw surrounded her.

Mm, nothing like a couple hundred bugs to satisfy a gluttons hunger for power~ Mwahahahahaha!
Pfft... Just kidding, it''s only the beginning. Bugs are, as I say again, the ideal Target for someone with my power. Anywho, I''ve been ''hunting'', imagining, and roleplaying with bugs for the past couple hours.
Looking over to my ''family'', I see all of my siblings snuggling up to mother... Who just stretched her arms out and embraced most of them. Did I mention she was a scarily large shapeshifter that had multiple limbs, and seemed to be based off a giant or something?
I don''t know. She just huge though. Anyways, back to my beautiful results~

No. I sigh and rub my head at the extreme migraine I just got. Or I would''ve, if my body didn''t feel like it was literally burnt, ripped apart, and shot with force very close by...
Huh..
Imagine the way I died with that bomb, but in slow, excruciating moments by moments... So... I am so not moving from this sitting position. I''m not gonna put myself through a shit ton of pain for nothing!
Laying my head back on the wall near the bones, corpses, and terrified bugs, I hiss loudly in pain, which only made the closest (and lonliest) dragon.. shapeshifters... Fuck. I''mma make a name for them tomorrow, cuz it''s getting annoying calling them siblings or monsters.
But first, to sleep!!
...
...
Zzz...
Side note: Geez, imagine how much work I put myself in, considering I have to organize all of his skills ;-;
PS. As a heads up for next chapter, I''ll give you guys options on what the MC classes CAN be, and you guys can vote on them.
