Eating

Isn't this too overpowered? I thought ascending to godhood was just a dream, have I really been this powerful on earth? Why haven't I had a system when I was a human? It would be better that way wouldn't it?

Questions once again filled my head just after a short break from the incredibly shocking notification. Does this mean I can use whatever the frog did, why can't I have the tongue attack wasn't that a skill?

I stayed in place for a good couple of minutes and realized that I have obtained a cultivation method. Wait, isn't this a magic world? Oh wait, the god that transported me here said that I'm in a cultivation world.

Then, why can I use magic instead of martial arts? I suddenly remember that in some novels, there was a path branching from martial arts and it was a mage that could control the various elements on the planet.

Since I got a cultivation method how do I use it? This isn't like an active skill, if I need to cultivate I need to get into a meditation posture if I remember my novels correctly. The only problem is that I'm a cat who can't find the right posture.

I cry and complain to the system for another minute. In the outside world cat mom looked at me with interest and confusion. She was probably confused on how I killed the frog even though I am so much weaker and that she planned to intervene at some point in the fight.

She gave me a bright expression like she was proud of me, she was confused at my existence at first and why I had evolved within tens of minutes after I was born, but she quickly grew fond of me within a day.

Even though I wasn't paying attention to anyone around me or anything at that. I felt like a small itch formed on my nose like I was about to sneeze. Is anyone thinking about me without me realizing it?

I put aside my question and looked at cat mom who is near the corpse of the dead frog. She picked it up and dragged it to a location close to my still infant siblings. She put it down which resulted into a loud thump.

Now that I realize it, the room around seems much brighter and more detailed. Is this the result of taking the two eye related skills from the frog. I began to grow excited for the future, will I become a god like existence that rules this planet with an iron fist?

I walked to somewhere near the corpse of the frog and began observing it, the bulges on its back are still gone, its eyes were brutally ripped out, its brain can be seen from the eye sockets. Boy, did I do a ton of damage to this poor fella.

A little laugh echoed throughout my head looking at this beast which looked down upon me which in turn got brutally slain by none other than myself. I got more confident and prideful every second I looked at this corpse.

Then, a little rumble could be heard from my stomach area. In my mind, I was petrified, I forgot that I was hungry and that cat mom brought back the frog for me to eat. Do I really have to eat this frog, isn't it fine to at least cook it first.

I gulped down my saliva as I looked at the corpse with fear and rejection. I don't want to eat it, I also don't want to starve, so I guess I'll have to toughen up and just eat it. I looked at cat mom to see that she was ripping massive parts of the frog out and eating it.

I really do have to eat it raw. I slowly open my mouth and close my eyes with all my strength. Remember Adam, taste is just a thought in your mind, it won't hurt even if you ate the most disgusting food.

I inch closer to the flesh of the dead frog, as I made contact, I bite down and rip a small piece of flesh off. It isn't bad, just close your eyes and not pay attention to the taste, it's like pain, the less attention you put on it, the less pain you feel.

That's what I kept thinking to myself, the flesh was so close to making contact with my tiny cat tongue, I shuddered even before tasting the flesh. As it made contact I stood still for a minute. One thought flashed through my mind.

Kill me. Yes, kill me, the taste is so bad that I would rather die than eat a single piece of this abomination. My fear instinct took over and I couldn't move, I wanted to spit the meat out of my mouth, but I couldn't which made me suffer for much longer.

After another minute of intense suffering, I regained the control of my mouth and spat out the now moist flesh. I doubt it would taste any better if it was cooked and seasoned properly that's how terrible it tastes.

Cat mom looked at me surprised, why didn't you eat this perfectly good corpse? That was what I assumed she thought since no one around me could speak. She then took a couple more bites and went to the tunnel.

I guess she went back outside to grab something else. I hope it isn't anything like the frog, I waited another 20 minutes before she returned with something new in her mouth.

There were 3 corpses of creatures that are similar to my size. They look like rabbits from earth, but they had lifeless, blood red eyes and incredibly sharp fangs. They must be carnivores like myself and every beast that I met so far.

I hope that this tastes a bit better than the frog meat. I beg of thee, please don't make it taste like a thousand year old rotten egg like the frog. As cat mom dropped the three rabbit corpses, I stared at them and slowly opened my mouth.

I slowly get closer to the rabbits and take a chunk of fur off their body, revealing pinkish red muscles and some blood spilling from the injury. I take a hearty bite out of the rabbits by gathering all my courage together.

To my surprise it tastes like raw meat from earth, but it's a little worse. This is leaps beyond the taste of the frog meat, the 20 minute wait was well worth it. I just kept eating the rabbits, they left a bad aftertaste, but I ignored it and continued eating.

Cat mom looked at me with a disappointed gaze, probably because I'm a picky eater. What can I say? My taste buds are more refined after eating food on earth my entire life. I have never once hunted and just studied in university.

Now my life is all messed up, I'm who knows how far from earth and I am a cat living underground in a cultivator world. I don't even know if the natives are friendly or straight up people who enjoy killing.

I wonder how far I will get until I hit a roadblock because cat mom can't be here to take care of me forever or could she? I don't know a single thing about this planet and this information could be life saving one day.

Even the most common knowledge on this planet would have significant value to me. I want to survive not just for myself, but for the hope that I can see my human family, the one I hold so dear within my heart.

I wonder, how are they doing, I know it has only been a day here, but when I was in the white void before my reincarnation, I don't know how much time has passed. It could even be a year from my death.

Forget this, worrying won't solve anything, I must eat and grow stronger. I must evolve to even hold a sliver onto my hope. I need to gain new skills, cat mom, bring me new opponents, I don't care if it is an evolution above me. I will kill it!
