Down in the darkness. A small kid slept on a chair, a kid of 4 or 5. he wore a weird helmet covering most of his head with wires going out of it in all directions; if you followed the wires to their end, you would find them reaching the ceiling.
He opened his eyes, taking air in and out for a few seconds. He put his small hands on the helmet and removed it, revealing to the world his right eye, an eye that looked like a golden gear. He kept looking around in the darkness that his eye illuminated; he felt dizzy, and the voices screamed in his ears. He stood and started to walk using his eye like a torch. He walked between tables of glass with chairs, but they were different from the one he woke up at.
He kept walking in the dark through every door he saw. He entered another door /the system detected a life form/ a robotic voice talked, and lights went on; he found himself in a place that looked like a kitchen with all the knives and spoons. /no data found, starting DNA test/ the robotic voice returned. He walked through, but he finally sat down in that place; his stomach rumbled /starting protocol 1023/ the kitchen returned to life and everything started to move on its own. The knives started to dance, the spoons and the forks played the music, and the fridge opened and closed, adding the beat to the melody. He kept looking with amazement at the show. A bowl flew to him with a spoon /Gramly soap/. He didn't care a lot about what kind; it had a mouth-watering scent and looked warm; he took the spoon and started devouring it.
He finished it, and he looked at the spoon and the bowl; his golden eye started to spin with the clock, and the spoon and the bowl started to melt and lost their form, turning into a metallic cube. He didn't react that much, but he looked at the cube that lay in his hands. /DNA test success. triple species hybrid Kraken, Human, Ghoul. Dominating species Kraken/ He stayed on the ground looking around, but after this meal, he felt the urge to sleep again, so he slept on the ground.
The system kept making his tests until he woke up /Magic adaptability zero. Magic control 100. Mana cup 0. Mana absorption 45 potential 100. Body acceptance 100. Body transformation 100. Possible approaches: crafter, worrier, commander, shifter, summoner/. He didn't care; he couldn't understand in the first place, so he stood and wandered. he kept walking at this place, hitting every corner of it until he reached a room where the system worked again and the lights went on again. He searched this room for something he didn't know he just searched until his eyes fell on a tube, a giant tube that could take him and 3 of his size, the door to that tube opened /system downloading is ready/ he walked in. his foot entered and the voices in his head screamed louder and louder however once his other foot entered they stopped.
The door closed after him and the lights went off. In the tube, mechanical arms held him and started to operate in the back of his neck. He didn't feel anything so he stood still. /the system is downloaded successfully. Data lack: most data has been lost. Update: the owner states has been downloaded. The owner has access to all the information possible. The system will start to collect information. Protocol 1, explore mode is active/
The tube turned into an elevator and started to go up. After an hour the tube stopped and opened. He took his first step out, looking at all the trees, grass, dirt, and stones; everything felt familiar in an unfamiliar way. He stood in front of the tube and kept looking at the forest. Then he walked toward one of the trees and touched it; he pulled his hand and started to wander. the tube vanished under the ground.
He kept walking for god knows how much. the sun kept moving until it reached the west. He was holding two stones one yellow and the other dull silver. His stomach rumbled here and there. "stop fighting", a rough sound came from the side "Let me ihm… let me", a girly voice came from the same place. He walked there and saw a man with an ugly face naked holding what looked like a teenager "I told you if you stop fighting it will be funnier" the ugly face said "On my body" she shouted at him and tried to kick him but she couldn't "that's bad I only do in the body" he smirked at her worthless fight. "help…help" she screamed out her lungs to feel his gripe loosen and a heavy hand landed on her face "shit, you have blown my ear dreams bitch" he said holding his ear.
The little kid was walking away, until he heard her "I will tell the whole village". He looked around for another stone and found one fast, he smashed the yellow stone and got a pebble. He ran there with the dust of the yellow stone over another metallic stone and the pebble in the dust, in the other hand the first metallic stone.
The ugly face heard the steps of a small thing and let her "fuck! Your screams brought us some monsters", he shouted at her, "And what was I supposed to do? We want attention, idiot." She shouted back. He grabbed his sword to find a small kid with two stones in his hand. His eyes widened, and all his worry went with the wind, replaced by happiness, "look! We found our hero," he joked. She looked at the kid and his eye and couldn't stay calm "Something wrong with him", she said; he laughed and walked towards him; the kid raised his hand one above the other "Calm down, little kid, we won't hurt you" he said and kept walking. Once he was 2ft away he got down on one knee to face the kid. The kid smashed the metallic stones with each other, making sparks and sending the yellow stone into action, making an explosion; the pebble was there to take all that and charge forward; the ugly face was stunned by this move, but too late, the pebble went through his throat and to the side. He fell on his back.
The kid looked at the dead body in front of him. His eyes went through the woman; she fell to her knees scared; the eye divided her into pieces and reflected every piece alone. He through the stones and searched for something. She kept watching him searching around, 'he doesn't care about me,' she thought, and her fear loosened a little. He found some clothes and ran with them to her; holding the clothes in front of him, he stepped at them and fell face-first. She laughed at that; he stood cutely, cleaned his face and kept running with the clothes to her. She took the clothes and changed "Good boy, what's your name?" she said. He didn't respond. After a while, she figured out that he was deaf or speechless. "can you hear me?" she asked, and he nodded. His eye kept her at the edge. She cut a small piece of her clothes and put it in his right eye "If people saw your eye, you will be in danger," she said. She held his hand and tried to leave but he didn't move. His eyes were on the corpse. He snatched his hand from her grip and ran to the corpse; he leaned forward and opened his mouth, taking as his mouth could take from the arm; he kept eating until he felt full. He stood and took her hand again "You are a ghoul?" he nodded to her question.
They walked through the forest and reached the village; she walked to her boss, pulling him behind. "where is that other idiot?" he asked when he saw her alone with a kid "This kid killed him," she replied. He sighed, and a woman came from behind "he is good", the woman said, the boss' eyes went gold "he is fresh, and you know we don't find high quality like him every day" he rubbed his hands together. "Say your price," she said, head in the sky. "nothing much; two m-golds will be enough," he said with a million plans in his head to keep the price more than an l-silver. She pulled out two medium golden coins and gave them to him "Now, he is mine." She said, the woman walked to him and offered her hand "Come", she said. He held her hand and walked with her.
they got into a carriage, a red carriage with lines of pink and blue. She took her hand off the window, and the hell horses started running.
They sat in front of each other. "what is your name?" she asked but he didn't answer "Are you deaf?" she asked again, and he shook his head. "do you have a name?" he nodded "do you have parents?" she asked and he shook his head. "so now repeat what I do and try to move the air in your lungs to do what I do" she started to teach him how to speak litter by litter.
After long 6 hours. she slept in her seat. He was trying to sleep but the blindfold on his right eye disturbed him. He took it off and lay on the seat and slept too, yet before he could sleep the robotic voice in his head echoed /the owner's body devoured the human flesh successfully. Your mind started to develop. The system is engaging in the owner learning process. The body is trying to build a cup, the body failed, the body needs a pure example to build the mana cup/ he wanted to tell it to shut up, but he couldn't /the system will go into mute mode until morning/ he was more than happy that it came from it.
He woke up in the morning to see the woman who bought him awake too. "what a beautiful eye", she said, amazed by the golden aura. She put her hand over his right cheek but the golden eye didn't stay as it was. The edges of the gear started to shrink making sharp tips, and the golden slowly died and turned gray. His eye turned into a grey saw that spun against the clock. She pulled her hand and kept looking at the spinning saw. "fluffy", this word took her out of her shock to put her in another. "what is fluffy?" she asked with anticipation "Tails and ears", he said innocently. Her eyes widened and she smiled after that "It seems that I chose the right one"
