"Is anyone there"
The voice called again
It sounded like it came from a old man and I knew he'll immediately recognise me as a monster.
I used leap to get on a tree's branches which seems to carry my weight and from then I patiently waited for the person to approach the bloodied area where the battle took place.
The old man came with white hai, a shir beard, not so wrinkled face with an axe probably a lumberjack.
"What in Barbos name happened here?"
He spoke with a horrified expression, can't blame him no one will be completely fine after seeing a bloody scene laid out before then but he didn't broke his composer as he saw that there were no corpses and who ever did this might be around.
He looked in all around the area axe always held in a defensive posture.Hmm cant be too careful especially In a world with real monsters.
But he made one fatal error he didn't looked up and the moment he was near 5 meter near the tree whose branch I was latched on, I leapt at him with my claws aiming for his neck and the poor fellow didn't even suspect anything because it happened all too quickly.
My right claw pierced his flesh on the shoulder and I lifted him of the ground with my right arm, he howled in pain and tried to look at his attacker with his axe raised he tried swinging it towards me but before he could I ripped his neck with my other claw killing him slowly and light left his eyes.
As I feasted on his old flesh which was a little lacking in flavour I was amazed at my own strength as I easily lifted him off the ground my body feels much stronger and I feel much lighter and agile than before.
After I completely devoured the old man corpse bones included, I found my muscles grow more refined and my skin now greyish in colour it appears that my body changes the more I eat.
I didn't grow this time but I got buff a lil
And I still don't have any access to magic maybe later. My stats show i'm a lesser wendigo so maybe the more I eat the more I turn into a proper one.
I left the area and wandered into deeper woods and now im buck naked as my old shabby clothes don't fit me anymore and I don't have anything private to hide
;(
I miss u fren
Also i'm able to traverse the terrain quite easily as my feet are now slightly morphed and elongated for more dexterity.
I needed to be careful there are other groups here and even those regular adventurers could be present. From what I learned in school, i'm currently in western Icathia forest of the malabad continent. We were instructed to not to venture too deep into the forest as armed or maybe even evolved goblins might be roaming there and from what I saw we can barely take down 5 direwolfs.
As I kept venturing deeper I picked up a new scent as my senses have also been enhanced, I made my way to a small clearing what disgusting and ugly looking gremlin was sleeping exactly what you'll call a goblin and worst thing was that he was buck naked with a makeshift knife near is butt. If I was human, I would have puked on this sight what's worse then a goblin is a naked goblin. I wonder what female goblins look like?
Bit more importantly what do they taste like? I walked casually towards it as my feet conceal most of the sound I make.
When I was directly standing above the critter about a meter tall, I plunged my claw into its neck, it couldn't even scream as I pulled my claw back and ripping his head off. Greenish-browish blood oozed out of its body and gave off a nasty smell but it didn't affected me as I was no longer a human I started eating from his chest until only his waist remain I couldn't bring myself to eat that part even though I have eat male humans before but it was when I was in a savage frenzy like state and the old man which I eat fully conscious didn't tasted like a sour grape.......wait a sec
.....
Did I really eat their****and**** ?!
I was just stuffing myself with any piece of flesh or bones. So it seems I lose track of myself when ever I am eating and end up devouring every single part of my prey including the..........genatials
:/
I stoped thinking about all of this when I realised that I was chewing on something
That felt and tasted like grapes with nothing else remaining on the ground and my body refused to like whatever it consumed.
I started walking again and apparently to don't feel tired at all maybe a so i'm really different then what I was before.
Night fell and I had trouble seeing in the dark but I still tried to see where I was going
[Ding:Racial trait "Nightvision" aquired]
Now I could see as clear as in daylight maybe even better that's where I saw a dim light in the forest and I started to follow it.
I came across a what seems to be a makeshift camp with a bonfire and 2 tents and a young man with a broad sword and wearing leather armor keeping watch, I observed them from a bush
[Race: Human ]
[Gender: Male ]
[Strength: Strong ]
[Endurance: Average ]
[Dexterity: Low ]
[Mind: weak ]
I can surprise attack him but I don't know who are in the tent, I need to get the guard away from the tent first.
Maybe should I cry out for help to get his attention?
I chose a bush far away but close enough that the guard could hear my voice
[Ding: Racial trait "Mimicry" acquired]
Well now that's useful :]
"Ahh!!! Help he's going to get me please someone-anyone help"
I cried in maiden's voice which sounded exactly like the bitch with ponytail I ate before I even forgot her name.
It appears I can mimic the voice of the people I ate.
"Where are you" I heard his call
"Hurry he'll kill me PLZZ help"
I heard hurried footsteps and the moment he reached the bush where I was hiding it was too late,
Before he could even draw his sword a clawed hand pierced his heart ignoring the leather armor like it was paper. He fell dead and quickly devoured him, then I felt my muscles strengthen even further and I noticed how quickly I eat his body. My mouth opened so wide that it was humanly impossible but alas i'm not human anymore and it appears that my mouth is growing forward, I touched my mouth and found that it was shaped like a disfigured dog and my teeth were new not resembling any human teeth sure they were elongated before but now they are something else like a true beast and the top of my head now lacks any skin and I feel the bone on top of my skull.
My skin is now darkish-grey and my hand posses even dreaded claws then before as they're pitch black and my hands are reddish with a backing hue, my legs are now that of a goat with black hair and my feet look like disfigured hooves. My upper back now support some quantity of black hair.
System what is happening?
[The host is slowly turning into a true Wendigo normally this process takes couple years and some don't reach that level at all but host high intelligence compare to other lesser wendigo has speeded up the process]
Soo how much time will it take to complete the transformation?
[The host needs to consume 100 individuals or beasts to complete the transformation but be warned when the true process starts the host will face incredibly hunger and if the host doesn't find sustainable nutrition this host will die]
......
Ok
So now I need to ear 100 people or beasts and also find proper food supply afterwards to avoid starvation.
Hmm I never went into a starvation like state after I turned into a Wendigo but I can imagine it must be hell.
Also I don't know how long it takes for me to starve and finding how long I can last without food would be helpful.
Also hundred is a lot but the forest must have plenty of animals and other creatures to eat.
The more I eat the stronger, faster and more tough i'll become.
The system told me i'll be able to tap into some innate magic that the true wendigos possess.
Also I don't know if the school wil try to find about where the bodies went maybe they'll think wild animals ate them but I
Take chances and I need to prepare and get stronger bur first i'll need a lair.
