A Child of Light
On an island so far away from civilization, the bodies of countless monsters were stacked in a desert. Nikolai sat on top of the corpses as he kept absorbing their stats while eating meat bread.
After consuming a lot of his mana, Nikolai found that his appetite returned. Of course, there is also the possibility that he lost his appetite because of leaving Sergio, but he didn't know. He was just glad that there was still a human part of him.
"Well, to eat on top of corpses is a weird definition of being human," Nikolai laughed to himself. "However, humans are nothing but cruel."
As he debated which direction to take next, Nikolai heard a sound from within the giant worm beneath him. It was a grumbling sound, and he realized that the gases were trying to leave the corpse.
