"Pain pain paaaaaiin, so much friggen pain! Holy sh*t this the is a beast" I thought to myself while looking at my leg with the teeth of the Kaimen still dangling in my flesh. Olly and Jason were still on the attack. Olly was keeping the Kaimen preoccupied at its front while Jason sliced it from behind. I quickly shook off the pain and activated my mod. My evolving mod was a Some sort of prehistoric wolf that was about one and a half meters tall. I transformed to my first form which basically looks like a werewolf but not as majestic. With my body covered in a thick grey fur and standing on my hind legs I ran towards the Kaimen, going for its exposed back. Noticing my approach from behind the creature quickly dodged my attack and slashed my back with its black claws. "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge !!!!!!! The pain ooh the paaaain" I cried out loud. Olly ran over while Jason drew the Kaimen away. WHACK!! Olly totally smashed my face with a stick. " What the hell were you thinking using that mod dipsh*t. It's like your weakest mod." Being scolded by Olly wasn't fun cause he really makes you feel bad and think back to your greatest failures so you can really feel like sh*t afterward.
Jason also activated his evolving mod and transformed into his first form. His white crocodile form was heavily armored and his face was dared I say it... super ugly. He rushes forward colliding with the creature only to be knocked back and fall on his back. ROOAAARR!!!The Kaimen then gave a bone-chilling roar which only pissed Jason off. "This isn't even my final form !!!" Jason transformed again and this time into his huge reptilian body.
He stared nervously at the beast in front of him just waiting for it to do something.
The Kaimen stepped forward and started to increase its speed, step by step it grew faster to the point where it was at full speed and already on top of Jason.
With a quick motion of his huge body, Jason avoided the Kaimen's sharp claws just in time but it still managed to scratch through his tough scales. Howling in pain he flung his thick tail and hit the beast on the body sending him into the boulder nearby.
As soon as the Kaimen hit the hard surface it almost lost consciousness. It stayed motionless for a few seconds and slowly got up almost stumbling over.
'This thing just won't stay down'
'If only we had better gear or at least a more advanced evolving beast mod we would be able to bring this beast down faster.' He thought to himself.
And then it struck him. If he could only get it to fall again, Olly could just attack it from the back and end He stared nervously at the beast in front of him just waiting for it to do something.

"OLLY!!! Sneak behind the boulder and wait for my signal. You're gonna have to kill it now or we will lose it."
Olly quickly snuck to the back side of the boulder and waited for me to give him further instructions.
Jason has already turned back to his human form and tended to his badly wounded hip.
Jason was out of this fight. If he joined again he would lose even more blood and just be in the way.
'This has to end now or else we won't make it.'
I ran towards the beaten and almost broken beast and yelled on the top of my lungs to get its attention.
It tilted its head unenthusiastically in my direction and once again bared its fangs. With blood drippy from its mouth, most probably from his ribs that has punctured his lungs and its eyes bewildered it suddenly collapsed from the number of internal wounds or just the fact that it was suffering.
I almost faceplanted seeing this site cause I was ready to go SSJ 3 on this thing.
I quickly called Olly over so he could do what must be done. Beast mods only earned if you kill the beast and consume its blood.
He kneeled down next to the wheezing body of the half-dead beast and stared it in the eye. He then took out his dagger and cup, quickly driving the dagger in its neck and placing the cup under the would fill it up.
Nearly two hours went by while Olly treated Jasons while I was skinning and gutting the beast for its valuable meat. Basic meat was cheap and easy to come by but evolving and evolved was very expensive not because it was rare, but because it was hard to kill those beasts and the meat was out of this world.
After Olly and Jason were done we bagged the meat and headed home to the small city known as Karma to sell or big score.
....
'Karma city'
The streets of the small city were very lively and bustling full of people either buying or selling goods. Children could be seen running and having fun. People were talking and discussing their daily problems as if there wasn't a care in the world.
On a street corner, a youthful man could be seen squeezing the wrist of a young boy looking at him with displeasure in his eyes.
The man then squatted down and whispered something in the boy's ear. The boy's eyes widened and water started streaming down his face and then suddenly just stopped as if he had lost his life. The man was slender and had brownish skin with silver hair that was cut perfectly and an unforgettable tattoo on his cheek of the ouroborus.
The man got up and stared blankly at the child and patted him on the head and sent him away.
' I should really teach these kids some...' "Heeyyy!!! Nathan, over here!!" a Voice from across the street broke his train of thought and caught his attention.
An average looking man in his late twenties and the same silver hair as Nathan with scars and a massive long sword on his back with pitch black armor was waving at Nathan from afar.
Nathan just lowered his head and pretend he heard nothing. The bulking man crossed the street enthusiastically and jumped Nathan with a smile.
"Get off me you d*ck!!!!" Nathan was under this huge man that was busy crushing him with his monstrous grip.
"Is that any way to treat your beloved brother? How about we go hunt together and get yourself a good beast mod to strengthen or brotherly bond. Haha!!!!"
"F*ck off, I already have beast mods, so just go away and don't bother me, Jahn." Said Nathan struggling out of his brother's grip.
"Not a chance little bro, I can't let you waste your time sitting around all day doing stuff that doesn't matter." Placing is rugged hand on his brother's shoulder squeezing him a bit.
"Do you even know what I do?"
"Hahaha!!! Not a clue!!"
Nathan was raging on the inside. He almost struck his brother in blind rage but luckily calmed himself down before he did.
"I do experiments on small beasts and study how their blood can just mutate our blood through simple contact." Explained Nathan.
"Oh is that so. Then why do I never see or even hear of you little experiments... Bro."
it's life by slashing the back of its neck.

"Don't pester me, Jahn. Just cause you don't see my experiments, doesn't mean they don't exist. And I'll have you know that I have an eighty percent success rate which is better than every previous scientist of before the world went to sh*t."
Nathan then proceeded to place his hood over his head and left his brother on the corner.
Before the whole world changing events, Nathan was a high school student that had top marks in science and biology. He was actually a sadist. Torturing small animals to see how long they could go without food or water and sometimes he would just burn his fellow students with chemicals he stole from the school lab. He totally loved to gain knowledge by doing experiments and seeing the end result.
....
Ray, Jason, and Olly came into the city with smiles on their faces, pleased with their loot and mod they gained today.
They stopped at their favorite shop and placed the meats and pelt on the counter and coughing vigorously trying to catch the shopkeepers attention.
"Ahh hello, my good friends. How did the hunting go today"
"Oh, Rajeet it would have been absolutely terrible if we didn't at least get to see you afterward," Olly said sarcastically.
Rajeet was an Indian man that has set up shop in an old structure that was broken by the earthquakes a few years back and has the best prices for people that sell him meat and pelts.
"So what have you gents brought me today."
We showed him the pelt and meat, which he was very excited to see and almost starting to cry tears of joy.
"You guys found a Kaimen!! And you guys managed to kill the beast!!"
He was dumbstruck
While Rajeet was bombing out about the goods, we were already set on the price cause this seemed to be more valuable then they thought. It should be at least ten silvers for the batch.
I then put on my best poker face and squinted my eyes.
"Go ahead, make my day."
"Twenty, no make it thirty because you are my good friends."
'Okay just relax Ray, we about to be sooooooooo mutha f*ckin rich. Deep calming breaths. Namaste or whatever.'
"Deal!!"
It just slipped out. "f*ck"
Today was a good day, a very good day and we had to celebrate, but right after I find my sister."
....
"Ahem... Mister Britz?"
I turn around and see the guard behind me with a young girl tied to his arm.
The girl had black hair and decent clothes but a dirty face. She looked up at me and gave me a guilty smile.
I closed my eyes and said, "What did she do this time?"
