Let's eat people!

The past three weeks were me just getting used to being a girl and my illusion control.

No, not the new forms I had gotten, just my new body. The result? I had made immense progress with my Illusion control and can now look like myself for a half hour.

By myself, I mean my previous appearance.

I decided not to touch my new forms until I sorted out my work and everything else, although I did mess with the system a bit. I learned there are points I can get. They called them 'Circumstantial Points', based on the 'Situation' keyword I chose. Quite weird if you ask me.

On a side note, I had changed quite a lot. Although I still didn't care about my physical appearance, I developed a debateable taste for edgy clothing like a black cloak and frontal face mask.

At the moment, I wore something less edgy. A pair of black track shorts and a gold-red lined black hoodie with strings.

Of course, I fiddled and toyed with the strings. Repeatedly.

I had also asked about my death since I felt it weird I'd be granted water abilities when I died 'to water' but found out that I had actually died to two spikes just barely above the water rather than the contact with the water.

On another side note, I could change my voice to it's previous form much easier and kept teaching my students using my device, albeit with some to many difficulties.

I was happy when I heard that they worried when I didn't show up on Monday. I was glad I had good students. Some of the mischievous ones decided to be smart-asses when I was in the call.

As for how I changed my voice, it was difficult! It felt a lot like tuning an instrument but a shit ton more taxing! It was really annoying!

Also, my emotions and skin have been a ton more sensitive. Overall, the more I get used to this body the weirder it gets.

Anyway, today is the day. I'm going to the beach to try out some of my other forms.

Also, just going to mention this, I still hate wearing the bikinis and all sorts of female swimwear so I just wore a hoodie and swim trunks.

Nevertheless, when I got to the beach, I definitely attracted attention.

After I arrived, I went to the ticket gate and bought my ticket.

"There you go. Enjoy the beach."

"Thanks."

I said, aware of the brief and constant gazes with lust. I may not be big, but I definitely wasn't small either. Nonetheless, it didn't matter since, either way, I wanted to kill the bastards who kept staring at me. Eventually, I was able to ignore them and walk down quite far along the beach. Where I walked to had barely any to no people around at all.

Then, after seeing no-one was around, the moment came. I revelled in the salty smell and sound of waves crashing and birds screeching, the sight of foam meeting sand and the I dived into the misty blue and swam as deep as possible.

In those last three weeks, I tested a few things. The results are as follows.

One, I could breathe under water.

Two, when there is water, I don't take damage from falling. It was quite soft, like a cushion really.

Three, sadly, water is water.

If you don't get it? Well, I don't care. Maybe I'll care later. Maybe not.

[Why are you so quiet? Are you okay? Where's the chatty Rose?]

{What about you Janice? Didn't you want me to quiet down? Weren't you afraid of my sharp tongue?}

[No, I was afraid of your thorns.]

{Ha. Ha. Ha. As if those could actually touch you, unless I get a body for you, you're safe.}

[Wel... wait. You have thorns?]

{I hope so. My name being Rose, I hope that influenced my Dragon form, however slightly.}

[Won't happen.]

{WHY!}

[Because it won't. Your name can't influence your forms. They were already predetermined by the system, there is no way to change it.]

I sulked as I kept swimming towards the murky depths, hoping that the form I was about to try had night or water vision capabilities.

»Depth: 250m Reached. Please Transform Before Going Further«

I could feel the pressure all around me, squeezing me. I decided to transform now.

{Alright then, World Serpent mode, ACTIVATE!}

. . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . . . . .

{Uh... Activate? Transform? Do something? Please? Janice? Any Idea on what's happening?}

[Nope. This is, unexpected. Even for me.]

{System. Sir? Hello?}

[I guess not.]

{No, we're on the right track. System, display transformation conditions. Or something like that right?}

[...At least, it's not ALL bad?]

{Do tell. What part. IS. NOT. BAD!}

[You already have 7.2 Million Illud from the starter gift.]

{Does that replace the Human Blood?}

[No but-]

{Then it doesn't help.}

I sighed and looked at the display with hesitation, annoyance, even a slight resentment. I had to basically become a human vampire to become stronger.

Bloody hell.

Literally.

Another thought shot up in my brain that caused a pit in my stomach to form.

{System?}

»Yes?«

{Do I have to get these things, EVERY TIME I transform into that form?}

The reply made my heart leap out of it's chest in happiness... only to crack right after.

»No, only 15 times before it is permanent. The 15 times of course are to i-«

I didn't hear anything else. I was tuned out of everything, focusing on the words that it said.

15 times.

15.

7.5 times 15 is 112.5;

A cubic meter is 1000 litres;

112,500 Litres of Human Blood.

[Wait, wait, WAIT! DON'T F-]

I passed out.

[-AINT! DAMN IT!]

=--=(An Hour Later)=--=

I woke up, finding myself on the bed in my apartment and said absentmindedly.

"Thanks Janice."

Janice sighed and spoke to me.

[Just, calm down. 112,500 litres isn't that much when considering how many are in a human body. Just choose your prey.]

{5}

[Huh?]

{There are 5 litres of blood in a human body. I know that from when I was covering for a biology teacher.}

[O-oh... OH.]

I murmured quietly.

"22,500 People."

I sighed.

"Well, Let's eat people."
