Chapter 2 - Rebirth

A white light floated in what seemed like a galaxy. It moved with no purpose except to exist.

'Looks like I died... What do I do now?'

Thousands of years passed and the white light waited. It moved without any care until it noticed something. A red fleshy object formed in the distance.

'Finally, there's something to see.'

The ball quickly moved toward the fleshy form. It seemed like it was almost alive. The light slowed his pace and noted the features of the object.

Tendril-like lengths were coming from out of the flesh. One largemouth was prominent on the flesh and sharp teeth were protruding out of it like sickles. Inside the mouth was darkness. Even darker than the galaxy surrounding it.

'This shits freaky. But it's something interesting in this boring expanse.'

Suddenly a tendril grew in size and wrapped around the light. It was being pulled into the mouth.

'OH NO NO NO. HELL NO.'

He was slowly dragged into the darkness of the mouth and the world became dark.

'What the hell. What just happened.'

The weird flesh object had brought him somewhere. The darkness continued to surround him until a blue screen appeared in front of his face.

'What the hell. Seems like, I reincarnated? But I have no body parts. I'm like... a ball of slime?'

The area was still dark so he couldn't see very well. But he noticed the skills he had.

'Echolocation? That could be useful for the dark.'

It was tricky though. He didn't know how to use the skill. But the moment he thought of it it was used. Waves bounced off the walls and there were further waves that hit him too. They came up as a red type of feeling.

He ventured forward through the dark area until he found what let off the red waves. It was some sort of wolf pack. But they were different. They were incredibly large. One was especially large and had bright yellow light coming from patches of his fur.

'Seems like the alpha.'

He checked back at his status and the glutton skill intrigued him as it stood for one of the 7 deadly sins. It is defined as the excessive desire for food to where a person eats enough food to take it away from those who need it. So in short, he can eat a lot.

His other skills also caught his eye as he had something called a Precent Form. As he moved forward the light finally began to hit him. He was the exact fleshy object that brought him here.

'So this must be Precent Form.'

He could also move tentacles at will but it seemed like he could only focus on one tentacle for doing things like grabbing items. But it was incredibly strong, almost too strong.

'I can stick to the floor and walls. I could probably grab one of the wolves if I'm careful enough.'

He climbed the side of the wall and ceiling until he was just above the pack of wolves. Then he carefully sent one of his tentacles down and grabbed one. However, he wasn't quick enough as it shrieked out in horror. The other wolves jerked their heads in surprise and looked up at the little red flesh blob.

He broke the neck of the wolf that he grabbed and turned his focus to the others. There were around 4 other wolves including the alpha.

'Shit. How can I do this? The other wolf was easy to kill but I don't know how sturdy my body is.'

'I could try to sneak one of my tentacles behind them and kill them.'

He sent one of his tentacles into the darkness of the cave and focused on dodging the incoming attacks. He noticed that his tentacle had a certain amount of length before it would stop reaching any further. So he had to get close to the wolves. One wolf immediately pounced on him, an easy kill. He also grabbed one other wolf before the last one dodged out of the way. Two down and one to go.

He continued his strategy and killed the last wolf. But he didn't know where the alpha went. But then he realized that even with his 360-degree vision and still couldn't find it.

'It must be hiding in the darkness.'

He moved around up onto the ceiling once again and waited for the alpha to attack. Just then, a lightning bolt shot out at him at undodgeable speed. He was hit, but it didn't hurt him at all, if anything he felt more powerful.

'Now I know where he is...'

He shot out his tentacle and grabbed the alpha. He wanted to try his glutton skill and a large mouth appeared. He took a large bite out of the alpha and half its body was gone in an instant.

'Holy shit I bite hard. And the taste of this wolf is amazing.'

He finished the wolf and checked his status. He noted his growth in size and the growth of one large green eye.

[Name: ???]

[Race: Mutant]

[STAGE: 1]

[Biomass 1/15]

[HP 1/15]

[Intellect 50]

Passive Skills: Calm Mind, DNA Absorption, Glutton

Skills: Tentacles, Echolocation, (NEW) Invisibility, (NEW) Web Shot, (NEW) High Electric Magic

Resistance: Max Electricity Resistance

Form: Precent Form, (NEW) Higher Wolf

He now had more biomass and three new skills. Invisibility, electric magic, and something called web shot. He now was 6 foot tall and 6 foot wide. He grew much larger and the 4'11 wolves would be easy to take care of in the future.

He finished eating the rest of the wolves and his status changed once again.

[Name: ???]

[Race: Mutant]

[STAGE: 1]

[Biomass 5/15]

[HP 5/15]

[Intellect 50]

Passive Skills: Calm Mind, DNA Absorption, Glutton

Skills: Tentacles, Echolocation, Invisibility, Web Shot, High Electric Magic

Resistance: Max Electricity Resistance

Form: Precent Form, Higher Wolf

He immediately felt stronger and wanted to find more things to eat. But he wanted to test his abilities first and tried invisibility. It didn't work, and a pop-up appeared on his status.

- LOW ELECTRICITY -

'I need electricity to use it?'

He tried out his electric magic and shot out a thunder bold. It hit the wall and made a loud zap sound, burning it to a large degree.

(MP 45/50)

'It seems like my electric magic is stronger than that of the Alpha.'

He then tried electrocuting himself.

(MP 40/50)

He felt replenished and tried the invisibility again. He became completely transparent. But it only lasted for around 15 seconds before he ran out of energy again.

'It seems that intellect is directly correlated with my MP.'

His intellect would increase every time he eats something. It's part of his DNA absorption skill where he takes only the best skill out of what he kills. But, he also takes the mana/intellect of who he eats. However, he can only take a maximum of 5 intellect points from who he kills.

He tried his web shot ability and a large web shot out. Strong enough to completely stop an adult male.

Finally, he tried his new form. He could become a Higher Wolf.

His body morphed into the wolf perfectly. One tradeoff was that he couldn't use many of his old active abilities. He could only use his passive abilities.

'Maybe I can halfway transform into my percent form and my Higher Wolf form.'

His wolf body distorted and was half fleshy half-wolf. He could control this pretty much at will. He was able to use his active abilities again at the same efficiency. Except he moved in a different body.

And finally, it was time.

'Time to leave this cave...'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I thought that having levels wouldn't make sense in his status. Considering in the Carrion game you can't get any stronger other than eating and growing in size. So I added the biomass section and STAGE to the status instead. I also made it so that his HP correlates with the amount of biomass he has. Every time he will be hit he will lose 1 HP and biomass.
