Chapter 2: Where am I?
Its dark..
Where am I?
Where is this? Rather…what happened?
If I remember correctly, I think I was being made fun of…something about being a King Class or something…
And then I fully regained my consciousness .
My name is, Ken Umbrel. A 26 year old perv- ahem, ahem.
I'm a nice guy...
What happened though?, why am I here?
Let's see, I ran out of the underground bunker to explore the apocalyptic world....
And I was bitten by a mutated brown recluse spider.....
Good, I remember. It's all right, it isn't the time to panic yet.
Anyhow, For the cool me to become flustered, at least it has to be on the level when my roommate became a Darkseeker and almost killed me in the early days...
It was when I tried looking around my surroundings that I realized. My eyes wouldn't open.
I can't see anything..
Not knowing what to do, I tried scratching my head…to find that my hands weren't responding.
Putting all that aside, I wonder where my head is.
How disorienting.
Oi oi, just wait a second.
Give me some time, so I can calm down.
In these kind of moments I'm supposed to be panicking, right?
Perhaps…could it be that it's too late to do anything other than to panic?
Daah!!!
No no, that doesn't matter either .
This isn't the time to be saying such stupid things, I'm supposed to be calm.. calm..
Eh? Wai-…what's up with this.
I hastily check whether I was hurting anywhere.
There is no pain. I feel comfortable.
I can sense neither cold nor heat. This space I'm inside of is really quite cozy.
I'm a little relieved about that.
Next I check the rest of my limbs . Let alone moving a single finger, my arms and legs gave no reaction…
What does this mean?
It's not like I'd lose my limbs over just getting poisoned... right?
To begin with, I can't open my eyes .
I'm in some pitch-dark space, unable to see a thing .
It seems…I've entered a vegetative state, or something like that?
Though only my awareness remains, maybe my nerves have been severed which is why I can't move?
No no no, anything but that!
When I think I've been finally saved, it turns out I'm a human vegetable . This is the worst, but at least my lower half is fortunate enough to feel something .
Though either way, there's no doubt this is a disaster, to think I've become a vegetable that can only think, I'm in hell…
My mind fills with the worst imaginations, beginning to turn the initial confusion into despair.
I want you to just think about it .
A human... Wait am I even a human?
Well back to the topic imagine being locked up in darkness will make you go insane in the blink of an eye. My situation matches exactly that, furthermore, I can't even suicide.
When you can only wait for the encroaching madness, it's impossible not to despair .
But at that moment,
A sensation of touching something,
And I felt it with my body.
What's this…
I focus all of my senses on that touching sensation.
On the side of my stomach? Something like a metallic sharp object is poking against me.
As I concentrated further on that area being touched, I came to vaguely understand the span of my own body . Occasionally, I could feel pointy ends prodding me in places .
That made me somewhat happy .
Even now, I was still blind in the darkness . However, of all the five senses, I experienced the sense of touch again .
Soon enough I sensed the vibrations within the ground.
Becoming interested, as I tried moving towards that vibrating object,
Slither.
And I felt myself moving .
I…moved?!
At this moment, I clearly confirmed that I was not on top of a hospital bed . It was because in the area below my…stomach? I could feel the shape of something rugged, like rock .
I see… I have no idea what's going on, but apparently I'm not at a hospital.
On top of that, I can't see..
Yay!!
Seeing as I also can't hear a single sound, it's most likely I've gone deaf .
Though I'm not sure where my head is, I keep moving closer to the metallic object. Directing my consciousness towards the it making contact with my body, I follow that sensation .
I can't smell a thing . Perhaps, I've lost my sense of smell as well?
Also, how should I say…I'm not sure of the shape of my own body .
I don't want to admit it, but I have a hunch that the shape of my body is strangely similar to that of a certain popular symbiote, Venom, which is quite popular among Marvel lovers .
Such thoughts have been going through my mind for a while now .
No no…that can't be the case, really . However the circumstances may be, that just can't…
For the time being, let's put those suspicions aside .
I decided, I would try the one last untested sense of the five human senses .
But I don't know where my mouth is . What to do?…
Suddenly, a voice sounded in my head .
[ Notice: Do you want to bond and use your Unique skill: Predate to the host? ]
Ha?
Wha-, come again?
Host? I'm close to a living organism?
Unique skill [Predate]…you say?
Rather, what's that voice?
I did feel like I was hearing a weird voice, even when I was talking with dying, so it wasn't just my imagination?
Is somebody there?
Nevertheless, this puts me on edge . It was, rather than someone being nearby…I had a feeling that the words were surfacing from within my mind .
It gave me the impression of something inhuman, or should I say, like the dark/horror style automated sounds of a horror movie.
For the time being, it's a YES!
To say the least, I'm a Filipino person who's always curious to anything.
In my mind I thought "YES", and waited to see what would happen .
Then suddenly I instinctively attach to it and wrap myself around it, like a snake. I penetrate it, like a parasite. I merge with it, like a... symbiote.
Uhh!!
A groaned sound was heard but too bad our MC can't hear it.
Ohh!! I'm inside..
I can feel it. I feel its... Intestines!?
Yuck ( ≧Д≦)
I tried to move inside and brush past other... organs
What's this..
Oh its a heart..
[Notice: You need to be near its brain to devour the host ]
Brain!? Devour!?
Ehhhh!!!
I'm gonna eat it!!
That's disgusting...
Strangely, I didn't feel anything wrong with devouring this being or host. Instead I felt like my instincts were driving me in.
As weird as I felt doing this, I knew that to know and what is happening, I would need this.
Well.. I already have seen and experience worse than this.
So this is nothing for me!!
I'll continue from where I left off.
I move my body towards the head..
Well I think this is the head.
Concentrating on the part of my body in contact with its brain, I confirmed where it was and wrap myself around it.
[ Notice: Unique Skill: Predate shall commence. ]
