Mike in the Untamed Jungle

It didn't take long after his body formed before Mike entered the Origin Expanse. He was still Michael, only in a different body ….that looked just like Michael. In fact, even calling himself Mike wasn't necessary. It only helped Michael separate the bodies. Mike was the new body whereas Michael was the old body.

The new body would stay in the Origin Expanse and take care of all issues there, whereas the old body was slowly but steadily transformed into a weapon powerful enough to fight the Primal.

Only a few minutes passed after Mike emerged in the Untamed Jungle when he felt odd. Something was missing.

"Why does it feel so weird without the God Curses? My body feels so clean…so pristine and flawless," Mike murmured, wondering if every Awakened felt like that. Mike doubted that was the case, but if it was… then everyone would have to be a lot stronger than they are.
