Tastes like chicken

I woke up. Hey Dee, how long was I out?

'Oh, not long, just three weeks.'

Oh ok ... "Wait, WHAAAAT!" I screamed that last part.

That made me realize something, the fact that I could speak at all. I took it in, with that I noticed that I could also use all of my other senses.

I had slept for most of the time that I had lacked senses so I hadn't really noticed something that had seemed so natural to me.

Then I started thinking, why would a rock have a mouth?

'Right, that, open your system menu.'

Oh, I got four new skills, only I have no idea what they do for me. The names say a lot but still, it's better to know their full use, Dee, could you give me a description or something.

'I can, opening them up now.'

Don't think this gets you off the hook for letting me sleep for three weeks, I could've been productive.

'But you looked so peaceful and you could not wake up because you kept using your stamina to automatically activate refinement. Also, you couldn't do anything.'

SHUT UP AND SHOW ME THE DESCRIPTIONS.

{Mana Sense

Rarity: Uncommon

Gives you a sixth sense that allows you to use one of your own senses to sense mana, one sense has to be locked in after which you will constantly perceive mana with it.}

{Earth Manipulation

Rarity: Rare (Racial)

A skill unique to the golem race, allows them instinctual manipulation of the earth without the need for knowledge of earth magic.}

{Mana Manipulation

Rarity: Uncommon

Allows the user to manipulate mana, requirement for any skill that uses mana, be it external or internal.}

{Assimilation

Rarity: Very Rare

A rare skill that allows the user to assimilate anything they eat making them able to become stronger by eating. Mostly known to be used by golems to supplement refinement, although it is rare even among them.}

I STILL CAN'T MOVE.

'Well, yeah, you're not supposed to, you're supposed to eat rocks around you to make yourself a better rock.'

Wait, I'm supposed to eat rocks to become a better rock, how would I even get those rocks.

'Earth manipulation. You pull them towards you and eat.'

Sigh, I guess I'll eat rocks then.

I was really reluctant to, I focused on a rock nearby and started to try and pull it towards me. It didn't work, DEE, WHY CAN'T I MOVE IT.

'You need to activate magic sense.'

Ok, I want it to link to my taste.

'Why though?"

Because I feel like it, now do it.

{Mana Sense has been changed to Mana Taste, you weirdo}

Well fuck you too, system.

After a while it felt like I was moving it on instinct.

After having moved it right in front of my mouth I forced myself to take a bite, the taste was ... pretty okay to be honest.

"It tastes like chicken." It was pretty bland though, I'm talking about chicken without spices, I liked it at first but in the end the taste faded and I felt like I was eating dirt.

{Normal rock assimilated,

Quality: Better than sandstone

Due to the low quality you are now unable to gain any benefits from assimilation of this type of rock.}

I KNEW IT WOULD WORK, MUAHAHAHAHA.

Yes, I had chosen Magic Taste in the hope that it would give rocks flavor.

'You do know that the system would always have given you taste when eating something, right?'

I wanted to kill this thing.

I started assimilating every rock in my vicinity.

"Oh, this one tastes like beef, ugh, the taste is gone. Oh, this one is candy, nooooo, no taste again."

It went on like this for quite some time, in the end I had a big pile of rocks next to me and I had grown.

{Skill gained

Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony

Rarity: Sin

Skill has replaced Assimilation because they have the same effect but Gluttony is better.

Magic taste has turned into Magic Sight because sense skills can't be deleted and Gluttony has the same effect.}

Are you calling me fat?

{Yes, I am.}

Go die somewhere.

While I was having this inner fight with the system I hadn't noticed a wolf walking near me. I hadn't actually paid attention to my surroundings except for the rocks surrounding me.

I was surrounded by weird blueish trees, the leaves on the ground had this weird purple colour and next to me there was a pond that had a golden colour.

Thinking back now, it probably looked like that because of my magic sight. Anyway back to the wolf.

It had seen my pile of rocks and seemed to think that it was a good place to take a piss, only there was only problem, I was still there and the place the wolf decided to piss coincided with my location.

I suddenly felt like it was raining, but it was weird, it hurt my eyes and it was golden, then I looked up and saw something I still can't unsee, the source of my shower was a wolfs *cough* man parts.

"THE FUCK, oh you're dead now."

I don't know but in my rage I made the earth around his feet hold him down while stoning him to death.

I was so enraged that it took me a few minutes to realize he was dead.
