As I woke up, my first thoughts were — "Was it… A dream?". Well, I think a giant wolf with six eyes that is chewing my body is a good answer.
I immediately bounced off. Wolf was surprised and growled. Now I can see he is around 3 meters tall, I think? Yeah, let's go with 3 meters. That is not my main problem anyway.
And I finally felt it — My bones are broken. I didn't feel any pain because I don't have nerves, but it still felt not pleasant.
Before I could even process anything, the wolf ripped my body in two parts, thinking I would die. Well, I thought about it too. But I now simply have two bodies. It feels like chopping your hand off and still being able to move the chopped part.
Wolf got surprised too and stood in shock for a second. This was enough for me to bounce away in fear. Well, now I know slimes can bounce pretty fucking fast.
Now I am in a some sort of a forest with red leaves. Now I can finally get some rest.
I leaned on one of the trees, exhausted, I tried to fuse my separated body. I tried many ways, but apparently, relaxing and thinking you are drinking a nice cup of water works too.
With that being done, my bones healed too. And I actually think they got stronger now. I didn't really get shocked. After all the shit that happened to me so far, it's too normal to be shocked about.
Now, let's have a look around. Some trees, some rocks, some mushrooms, some withered grass. Nothing too surreal.
Now, when I think about it — can I eat all of this? Like I did with that bull's skull.
And so I tried. Ate some mushrooms, grass, rocks, leaves, etc. And what do you think? I have some new things to grow out of (or in) me!
There are the list of things that I can metamorphose — Weak Poison, rock body (Can't move while activated), advanced healing, weak body growth.
I won't be doing everything at once, because if I do, my body will go full coma mode. My limit without sleeping is around one metamorphose, so I have to choose wisely.
Rock body is a good defense, but I can't move. (weak) Poison is cool, but I really don't think it'll work on anything that lives here, you saw that giant wolf, right? Finally, we have advanced healing and body growth — Those two are both great, but I think I'm going to choose body growth.
Being able to extend or remove certain body parts can save my life sometime.
And so the process began — I felt my body changing a little, but it took mere minutes to be completed. Now I really feel exhausted but not too much for falling asleep.
I tested my new metamorphose out, and what do you think? It actually worked! I can now extend or remove certain parts of my slime body to either attack or dodge (and parry, I guess).
It's getting dark now, I need to find some shelter. And so I did. Trying to hide from every suspicious sound, I found some crack in a mountain that I could fit in.
I actually think I heard some voices… But it's probably my imagination. Eh, whatever, good night every monster that wants to devour my body and eat it's insides.

Mt. Garebourr, Ganoba cave. (Somewhat useless information)
A beautiful landscape — Forest with red leaves, Big mountain and loud monster screaming. Here you can see two humans trying to escape their death. A child and it's mother. Being able to find a crack in the mountains walls, they jumped in a small crack as the monsters couldn't fit in it.
"Mom, d-do yo-you r-really t-think we-we are s-safe now?" - Asked the Child. Looking very young and having black hair, a boy in his 12s with cyan eyes having ripped cloth as a dress.
"Y-yes, Nale, I think we can finally rest now…" — Answered the mother. A handsome woman in her 30s with red hair and green eyes in heavy armor.
And so they sat by the cave walls, hugging each other. The Child fell asleep, but mother didn't, guarding her soon in his sleep as she heard suspicious slimy sounds coming from the nearest wall. She tightly gripped her sword, not breaking eye contact with the wall.
Hours flew by. Nothing happened. The exhausted warrior slept with one eye opened. And it was the thing that probably saved her life…
