'maybe if I continue to do stuff, I can figure out more I need to know; I need to figure it out. Why do I know everything about here but not remember anything before I got here? Why am I only now realizing this? Why, why, why.'

'If I got that memory from completing the tutorial and this world, if I go to others, I might be able to figure out more.' I say in a distressed tone and sudden realization.

'fuck getting prepared for the next world I'm going now. I need to figure this out.' as I open the System and press on the world travel function. 

'it says the world is random until I finish at least 5; I don't care; just send me.' I press the randomized button, and it suddenly starts spinning a wheel. Before I can see what it says, I black out.

(Ronal)

"The lost one has arrived". Ronal says to her husband, Tonowari.

"what do you mean, Ronal," Tonowari asks in confusion.

"Someone outside of Eywa's grace has come. The lost child has finally come," Ronal says with slightly glazed eyes as she looks into the distance.

"Then we must prepare as we were told," Tonowari says as he helps his wife.

(MC)

'where am I?' as I spread my senses all across my surroundings and felt several moving whale-like animals coming towards me.

'so I'm in avatar.' My senses finish spreading over the Tulkun swimming towards me. 'I should shrink myself down. I'm too large for this planet; I don't want to cause accidental tsunamis from just moving.'

I then quickly shrank to the size of a male Tulkun, 60 meters from my previous 117 meters. 'I should also quickly check my system for anything, as that's why I'm here.'

'well, they aren't bad, so let's start then because I need to learn about them. I need to know.' I then rocket forward, swim past the pod Tulkuns, and ram into a Nalutsa, quickly killing it.

'I don't want to kill any of the Tulkuns. They are kind and incredibly sentient, unlike these guys.' I then start to tear into the Nalutsa and devour it to continue on my way.

[DNA Absorption]

Nalutsa DNA

Mutations Gained: N/A

'To be expected, honestly, but it can be worked with to help me fit it in more.' I shift into a Nalutsa and start swimming through the water quicker, eating anything I see to see if it can be helpful.

[DNA Absorption]

Akula DNA Ilu DNA

Mutations Gained: Telepathic Queue

As I finish swallowing one of the Ilu I came across, I feel the sides of my head burn as two whip-like queues come out from behind my horns that show little pink tendrils inside of them.

'Well, this is useful but can also be a bit dangerous, though I can see it being more useful than anything else.' I start to wrap my queues around my horns so they look hidden instead of just showing.

'This is the most I'm probably going to find so far. I need to leave the ocean and search somewhere else. I need to eat a banshee or a relative of it to leave this ocean.'

'Unlike the world of subnautica, there is a lot of land to explore, and I need to meet all ten clans, so I can't just stay within the range of just one of them.'

I then swiftly swim towards the top of the water, burst out of the sea, and shift into a Skyray as I gain a good height. I then start immediately heading north.

'There's a Dorado Verde, a relative of the banshee, my success to getting to the forest faster.' I then dive down towards the cliff and eat the tiny bird-like animal.

[DNA Absorption]

Dorado Verde DNA

Mutations Gained: N/A

'It feels like nothing here will give me anything good, though that's fine as long as I can get through this planet quickly and see what I can find or at least add all of these to my inner world.'

I then quickly morph into the Dorado Verde and start flying quicker towards the forest, though I start flying up the large cliff wall that separates the ocean and the forest.

'Let's get through the forest quickly as well and eat all that's useful,' I say, then morph into my normal body, which is significantly smaller, to the size of a Thanator, though slightly bigger, as I start running through the forest.

'I hope I don't impact the ecosystem too much, ' I say as I jump out of a tree and spear downwards, twisting in the air, piercing into a Thanator, and causing a crater around me.

'lets quickly eat this guy and then move on.' as I start to tear into the Thanator and then start eating the same thing it was.

[DNA Absorption]

Thanator DNA Direhorse DNA

Mutations Gained: Prehensile Tail and Carbon Fiber Bones

As I finish swallowing the Direhorse, I feel my entire body burn. It feels like my bones melt and then reshape themselves, making them more sturdy and flexible. They are now five times stronger than steel, letting me put more strain on them more easily.

Meanwhile, the muscles in my tail have become more prominent and robust. This allows me to have more control over my tail and treat it like my arm or hand, allowing me to grab things with it and quickly slice through things with it.

'Finally, something useful, though. I shouldn't get caught up in it. I need to finish getting through this forest to get everything useful as this world should be easy.'

I then start sprinting forward again, using my tail to quickly change directions. I then quickly start climbing up a tree to get a high visibility point, which tells me I need to head more east as I am running towards the plains instead of Hometree.

'Well, that could have gone bad if I accidentally left here earlier than I wanted.' I then start sprinting towards Hometree before jumping off a branch and warping a mile away from the tree's base.

'Before I head in, I need to get a Na'vi form so as not to seem suspicious.' I then spread my senses widely and saw that a Na'vi was severely hurt a couple of miles away. 'he will work.' I then warp in front of the Na'vi and quickly eat him before he realizes what just happened.

[DNA Absorption]

Na'vi DNA

Mutations Gained: N/A

'Expected, honestly.' I then shift into the form of a Na'vi and see that I look very similar to how he looks, except for select scars around my hands and back, with me having more pronounced teeth and my eyes being a shade darker.

'It seems that the Na'vi are also much more realistic. They have four arms instead of two, with their bioluminescence and muscles being more prominent. It does make sense that the world looks more like the wildlife on this planet instead of just really big humans that are blue, as that would make no sense whatsoever.'

'What is also better is that their fingernails are claw-like, which also makes sense for gathering and harvesting prey. While also having a smaller second pair of eyes to better help look at the surroundings.'

'Now that I'm done looking at all the realistic changes let's go to Hometree.' I teleported to where I was earlier and started walking towards Hometree to meet the Olo'eyktan.

"Oh, great, Olo'eyktan . I wish to have your council," I yell across Hometree as I walk towards the giant bonfire in the middle of the tree.

"And who are you, young Na'vi?" The Olo'eyktan says rudely as he stands with his spear in hand, looking me over skeptically but not seeing that I have five fingers, causing him to relax slightly.

"I'm a traveler from a smaller clan in the forest, great Olo'eyktan, and I have come here to make a pilgrimage to become one with your clan," I say with respect to the Olo'eyktan as I bow slightly.

"Mo'at, what is your opinion of this." He asks kindly to his mate as he looks me over, still concerned that I can either be an outcast of somehow an avatar even though I don't have the devil's finger.

"Eytukan, I believe we can trust him," she says with a wise tone, though with a hidden glint in her eyes that says she knows who and what I am.

"Though I also believe he should be respectful towards us and show who he really is, so please do show us lost child." She backs up and tells the surrounding crowd that has started to grow to back up as well.

"If you say so great, Tsahìk." as I jump and twist in the air like an acrobat, while mid-spin, I morph into my normal form but making myself small enough to fit within Hometree while also not scaring everyone shitless.

"so this is the lost child Eywa told us of that would be showing himself in the future," Mo'at says in an amazed tone while also slightly scared of my appearance as she stares at the ice crystals around my body that quickly melt, then reform in a matter of seconds.

"So Eywa knew I would be coming, which is a little surprising if I'm to be honest, as I'm an anomaly to this world and several others, so the fact she knew I would come is fascinating."

As I look at my surroundings, all the shocked Na'vi start bowing towards me, their eyes filled with belief and fright, as my tail swings over them. At the same time, the temperature within Hometree constantly fluctuates between hot and cold, causing several to be knocked out.

"There is no reason for any of you to bow. I am no god, though I guess I can be called the amalgamation of nature. On a different note, great Tsahìk, can you please take me to the Tree of Souls?

"We will happily take you to the Tree of Souls. Isn't that right, Eytukan?". Mo'at asks her mate, and as she looks at him, his eyes are filled with concern for his people and the awareness that there is nothing he could do to stop me if I were to do anything.

"yes, we can take your lost child. Please wait a moment. We must get our Ikrans". Eytukan says calmly as he starts to climb up the tree to get his Ikran and his mates so they can leave.

"So how did you know I wasn't a normal Na'vi," I ask with a curious tone as I shift back into my Na'vi form and walk towards Mo'at while also glancing at all the surrounding Na'vi.

"Because Eywa told us that you would be coming as well, as no normal Na'vi can just walk into here without being realized," Mo'at says with a wise yet slightly playful tone. She then looks up and hears her banshee scream.

-----------------------

{ A/N Well, I hope you guys like the chapter, and as you can tell, I will try to make this a short arc, though I do want to go into this world at least a tiny bit as I see a lot of use from it.

On a different note, I hope you guys don't mind me making the Na'vi more realistic. Why would they look so human when there are no mammals on their planet? Though they will be keeping their hair and some other features, they should be more alien-like as well, as it is a different planet.

Also, I feel like you guys have realized that while he may get some stuff here, it won't really be stuff related to mutations. It will be more stuff for him to put in his inventory, so he probably will steal a giant mountain worth of unobtanium.

Besides that, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I will put the usual information below.
