His Forest

In the forest of Terrel(More commonly called the forest of certain death) lives a Troll that called himself Maero, he was a unique troll. In that, he had Green mottled skin instead of the usual beige his fellow Trolls don. He also used his claws to fight as they have always been sharper than other troll's nails. He wasn't the strongest creature in the forest but he had his own territory that had a human road crossing it, making his life very fun for a troll such as himself as he loved killing and torturing humans.

On one of his usual scouting outings, he climbed a tree to assess if any humans are entering his area of influence but found nothing. But suddenly hearing booming thunder coming from the sky, his attention turned towards it. The last thing he saw was a red bolt of lightning rushing towards his head. With no time to dodge, he was struck down from the tree and felt the wind get knocked out of his large lungs as he hit the ground.

Noticing that he was still alive, Maero limped back to his cave as his wound would not heal while he was out moving since the lighting has burned his skin 3 centimeters deep. It was common knowledge among Trolls to avoid Fire and Electricity attacks as they stopped their passive regeneration until they rested. When he finally reached his cave he could only reach his leaf pile and collapse from all the fatigue and pain he has suffered today. That night he dreamed of things he has never seen and ways to kill he had never imagined.

Come morning Maero woke up realizing there was a second set of memories in his mind. The memories seemed to be from a human, he believed that was the reason why he felt so much smarter. But he also felt himself have less and less of his usual inclinations for killing, which was something he hated as it was one of any troll's most basic instincts. He felt his head become hot and his body weak when he tried to get up and slumped back into his leaf pile as he drifted back into unconsciousness.

Inside the mind of the troll the two souls, one green and one blue were fighting for control and it seemed like the green one was losing but since the green soul was in its home element the blue soul was having a hard time completely removing it. After both struggled for who knows how much time a new force entered the mind space and seemed to grab hold of both souls and meld them together.

Both souls tried to escape but the force was much too powerful and kept using its influence to merge the two incompatible souls together. As the souls merged a larger magenta colored soul appeared as the power let go.

Suddenly the body of Maero stirred and he got up inspecting himself and looking at his body and hands.

Maero: "So I really do live again and in the body of a monster no less. I do agree that it is a bit ironic that a monster like me was transmigrated as a true blue monster. You know I'm more green but I whatever."

It appeared as though Maero was having a conversation with himself. It was actually that he was now both beings and none of them at the same time and this was his way of recalling information and dealing with such a big change.

Voice: *Initialising System: 1%...38%...78%...100%*

Maero was dazed as he heard the loading of what seemed to be a robotic voice in his mind just like when telepathy was used on him in that Dark Realm. He tried to focus and listen trying to glean any information he could that would help him become stronger.

Seeing the skills displayed in front of him Maero already had an idea of their existence but his past self had only a basic and limited idea of their effects and implementation. As he was trying to think of ways to use these skills with the new ones he remembered how hungry he is after sleeping(or being unconscious) for two days.

Maero: "Well I guess I should work on it in the field, and a practical test would be good for me."
