I had to admit that this pce had colors if nothing else going for it. Vibrant reds, blues, greens, yellows and I even saw some purples in a couple of the local flora. The fauna were also something else like you could see the leaps in evolutionary dires they took and as I got more familiar with the enviro WHY they took them. For example a good many creatures I had seen had some form of greenery growing on them and were omnivorous. As it turned out the Prowler was not an exception at all, in fact I had seen three creatures including that ohat had the greenery growing from them.-

If the Prowler was a felih bark covered skin and vines growing from it the charger was the same thing except in boar form and like twice as big. I don't mean just fatter either but in all regards, taller, wider and lohey also had a wicked sharp sense of hearing but piss poor vision. Their teeth were also much thicker than usual and darker as well as possessing two long sharp tusks.-
From my sed enter with a Prowler I took the lifeforce, [keen nose] and [Predatory muscles] traits before leaving the dust behind. My enter with the charger though ed me the lifeforce, ara [Tough skin], [Hard teeth] and [keen hearing] traits. I killed both with headshots. As it turned out shooting something in the face teo kill it pretty damn fast, who knew? My enter with the Woemp was unpleasant though as there I was walking through the forest/jungle and then out of fug nowhere above me a fug inbred goril mohing decides to down smash my ass like it's WWE.-
When I say inbred I don't mean that as just an insult(it still is though) but rather that this creature looked like it should have been shot at birth to put it out of it's misery. General body shape wise it was basically a goril, hairy body, thick arms, short legs and a round-ish head = Goril. The simirities ehere as it had a big jutting bottom jaw that was rger on one side thaher. It was cross-eyed with one eye being bigger thaher and that one big one small freak show shit tinued with it's limbs.-
As far as it's bonded pnt was ed it had a whole ass red fern growing out of the ter of it's back. It also reeked to an unreal degree and had flies swarming around it from what looked like caked on blood it never bothered to wash off. The species from what I could tell had traded it's vision and sense of smell for extremely acute hearing that it used it's massive right arm to ambush stuff with from above when it hears something below it.-
Apparently it also wasn't used to the idea of shields sier it broke mich hit like a bus) it seemed to think I was dead and got my gun pressed against it's lower jaw when it flipped me on my back to try an rip open my soft belly. Admittedly the first shot through the head was enough but I was so pissed that I unloaded the der into it. At the very least I say the lifeforce made up for it as it had a nice k ready for harvest though I spent most of it immediately on [Thick skin] and [Sturdy muscles].-
I didn't really have a choice as the noxious beast died on top of me and I couldn't move it's corpse off me and had to get corpse dusted to get free. Needless to say I opened my house up directly afterwards and took a shower to try and make the smell and feel of it go away. While I was nid safe in my house I began messing with my stored traits. As it turned out traits stacked if I got more than one of the same. It was massively diminished returns though as I estimated when the sed [Thick skin] stacked with the first I had the effects were much less promi, maybe a quarter better at MOST.-
I also fused [Sturdy muscles] and [Predatory muscles] for 1000 units to get [Alpha muscles-unon grade]. Surprisingly [Hard teeth] was automatically fused for free into [Dense bones] which I suppose made sense siderih are bones. It was basically a sub-trait of a trait I already had so my powers just fused it into the main trait like it was already a part of it. Still I some stroeeth out of it for free so not gonna pin about a good thing.-
I also fused [Tough skin] and [Thick skin+1](stacked trait) to create [Armored hide-Unon grade] for 1000 units. I had this idea that since I had enharaits for my skin, bones and muscles all in unon grade that I could fuse them together to get a prehensive full body upgrade trait. It didn't work though as I sort of felt like I was missing o piece to tie it all together.-
'I need an unon trait for my ans maybe?' I pondered but shrugged in the end as I wouldn't know until I got whatever I was missing.
Ohing I say for absolutely certain was that iing so many different traits into my body at once is not something I ever pn to fug do again. It was a bloody horror show as my skin sloughed off entirely while my muscles writhed and expanded in the open air as new skin grew over them. At the same time my ears and nose bled internally as the associated senses got an unnatural upgrade. The transformation sted only a few brief moments but was dht traumatizing a one hell of a mess to boot.-
"Ugh, Never going to do THAT again. Fuck I could really go for some steak and potatht about now." I pined as my stomach felt like it was eating itself.
Ign my "Discards" and blood soaked clothes I shambled over to the food prihingy and the cursed when it refused to make food si was still recharging. I grimaced and ate my leftover cooked meat from the first Prowler I killed and cooked. It was dirty and soaked in my own blood but I NEEDED food and knew better than to be picky when desperate.-
It was not nearly enough but I didn't at the very least feel like I was digesting myself, just very hungry. With that relief came the zoning in of all the ges I could literally feel and see. For starters my thirteen year old form looked like it had been taken from a child body building magazine. I didn't have more than a bit of baby fat on my body with all of my muscles being well defined and proportioo a freakish degree. Kids my age WEREN'T supposed to be this cut, it was unnatural and wrong but here I was the walking definition of the word unnatural.-
I mean I had a list going at this point of shit that fell uhe unnatural category that applied to me. I died and then came back, I was a twe year old soul in a thirteen year old version of my body, I had superpowers, And now my body was impossibly jacked for an thirteen year old. I had no doubt that at some point this list was going to get long as shit, mostly because of my powers if I'm being ho.-
On the bright side though I no longer felt heavy and sluggish but rather light instead, amazing what them roids will do am I right? I suppose ahing worth mentioning was that my sense of hearing and smell were driving me crazy. Every sound lified and my ung with the coppery st of all this fug blood. I could pick up other faint smells but the blood was really overp everything else right now. An iing thing I suppose I should point out was that my skin still looked normal aure wise was the same but hard rather than squishy.-
Like it felt like normal skin but simply didn't give all that much when you pressed on it. In a way it sort of reminded me of alligator or crocodile skin. It wasn't all great though as I was losing lifeforce faster than I was accumuting it but it was one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't type deals. My whole power was about improving myself by stealing and making my owraits of other things. It was literally just how it worked and at the same time it wasn't was if the traits I was saving up for from the Seraphs were going anywhere.-
So while I ending lifeforce faster than I was getting it at the moment that would ge once I got to a point where on and unon graded traits weren't all that appealing anymore. Right now I was still fresh ao this power and in the process of building up a foundation I will work off of for the rest of my life so naturally I wasn't going to skimp out a it much ter when I could have REALLY used these upgrades.-
'Ugh, I need another pair of clothes. These are ruined.' I thought with a grimace I was done cheg out my ges.
Unfortunately unless I wao hunt through the the forest/juside my house hese clothes were staying on. If I could find another Woemp and NOT get ambushed this time I could probably skin it and feed it's skin to the creation thingy in the crafting room to get a det set of leather clothes. I'll also feed my current clothes to it to use as lio keep the leather from stig to my dangly bits.-
'First though I should probably get these "discards" out of here before they start rotting and stinking the pce up.' I thought with a sigh.
With a ck of ing equipment on hand I was forced to pick up the discards by hand and throw it out before using one handful of water at a time to try and up the blood on the floor. It ain in the ass but I got most of it out the portal to my home and was only left with a slight pink hue on that part of the floor that I'd work to remove ter when I had actual ing supplies.-
I also took a quick shower while dressed to get out as much blood as I could from my clothes before leaving my house soaked. If anything the fact I was drippi actually worked in my favor as this forest/jungle was hot and the water evaporating off me helped e off a little.
