...
No thank you.
I have no desire to become a pet of the sin of gluttony I've seen creatures that take on this path of evolution before and I have no desire to become one like that no matter what benefits it will give me I better take on an evolutionary toward which I have control of and not my instinct such as hunger.
even though Bathsheba think this way they continue to eat from the pile of meat into all they were satiated in their belly was full only thing when they looked at their current count of essence.
but before they check their status caught in the corner of their eyes are younger brother Eyal who is still laid out on the ground with their paws out enduring the hunger in their belly
with their ruby pearls of their pulling at my heart string only now do I realize when I was eating the rest of the nest have been sitting and waiting for my next instruction
Oh, sorry little brother here. have some meat oh and be sure to leave some food for the other servant for me.
Bathsheba then push the one three-meter plie of meat toward Eyal to eat.
Eyal red eyes shine and then node to Bathsheba they took the plie of meat to themself drool fall from their maw as they open their moulf they stop and their red eye caunt the gaze of the orter rat kin they were all stairing at them. no it was the plie of meat in front of them they were hungry starving with the rest of them from this urge in the blood he knows this his new name have granted him more knowledge than he did before he thinks better and know better a voice. in his head tells him what he must do
Bathsheba was very shocked to see that the new subordinate was splitting the power of me into portions and giving it towards the others of the nest feeding them first instead of himself.
that's when they remember being given a name by a higher being increases to quality of not just their existence of their physical body but also their soul meaning the fact that they have the template of a pack leader they are only strong in numbers will the pack they survive.
this way of thinking is best for swarm type race such as rat kin.
Bathsheba took a moment to look at all the rat kin in the nest and could send a fill a stronger connection to down towards five rat kin in front us Eyal and realized that these five most likely came from the same brew as them they must share the same mother and blood as them.
and unlike the rest of them these five scenes to have a direction of subordination they seem to understand that Eyal is not the leader
they can feel that I am the pack leader and the master of this rat den I can feel them observing me and waiting for my commands.
even as little brother places there is share of the food in front of them they only look at it stair at the meat. still wait for my command i look at them and nod and give them permission to eat and they begin to dig their faces and claw into their bloody meal before them letting their hunger out satiate their gluttony.
as Bathsheba as watching their brothers and sister eat their share of the meal could not help but feel a bit peckish.
God damn. this Endowment [Accelerated growth] even though my belly is full of fresh meat I can feel my hunger coaching at the edge of my mind again no wonder this race is either killing or eating at all times.
shaking their head to clear their head they stop to chick their status.

focusing back on the present day utilize the connection to their servant Eyal to give them the orders as Bathsheba begin to turn and make the way back to the crack that leads to the stone cave room
receiving instructions from the master through the link between the soul they begin to give out order to rest of the pack to finish their meals and to gather any more food in the den and few bones that are inedible part of the meal together with the instruction that were given they shall train the rest of them to make the pack stronger.
train this is a strange word never was it in their mind before now they know the meaning of it train it means strengthen your body with action that cause you to grow stronger.
very strange.
...
theses thoughts and the concept of training that never came to its mind before basic information with his new name and its soul strength and thank to Ethereal tendrils of the soul from the skill of [Puppeteer] new knowledge and Concepts and information that should not be in his own mind or being slowly fed into their mind by the connection Bathsheba between Eyal. now an competent servant with wisdom they can be useful for Bathsheba future plans and actions that will be needed.
as for Bathsheba they are making their way the crack in the wall that works as their passageway even though they grow larger they are still small and can go through a pretty easy even though others of kin could not .
it's did not take long for them make their way to into the stone room once again looking around the room they see that it has not changed since the last time they were here. the blood trail that they brought in when they came in bleeding still remains on the floor.
turning their head towards the small pool of potion that is now smaller thanks to their size increase and don't drinking it for two days they can't make their way over and stand for if you have both of them washing down the blood in their mouth and refreshing their mind.
with the potion in effect Bathsheba felt the an refreshing flow of energy into the soul fulling them with a warmth and nurturing energy clear and calm their mind.
ahh i needed that not much for flavor but it get the job done taking a few moments to allow the effect of the potion to circle thoult their body and soul then taking a deep breath to take the next step or plans and strengthening their skills and establishing their control over their subordinates.
Bathsheba fould i dry stop to sit to utilize their connection with the Ark to look upon the Status of the red-eyed little brother and their skill they have to ponder what should they strengthen the first.
they thought to himself for a moment before deciding that one should strengthen themselves before they think of leading other for a weak leader can't rule over the masses.
[Claws-as a member of the beast race you born with claw to fight and defend yourself. damage of the claw is depending on the physical strength hit per sec depends on agility and hit per every 5 points of agility.]
[Mauled-as a of the beast the race you are born with sharp teeth and an shough jaws use them tear your target apart. Damage of mauled is equal to current strength stat.]
[Puppeteer Intermediary-Puppeteer intermediary the act of control over other the host can use their soul strength to manipulated others to act and perform in the play that you have set up for them and role that they play and follow the story. Currently can control up to 6 subject the level of subject the level of subject must be 1 level over them, and the target soul strength and intelligence must be lower than the host.]
[Currently Servant count-32]
[Carrier-As a rat kin one of the blessed races of the plague baron you have the innate ability to carry his created plagues and diseases on to the world and afflict them on others. current selected Stone rot an plagues that was made by the baron to weaken the warriors of the enemy race it is ineffective to higher level. the feeling of pebble in the joints and the graying in the pigmentation of the skin symptom at this stage joint pain, muscle aches and graying of the skin pigmentation on infection with the plagues the target. -50 stamina, -5 strength, -5 agility.]
looking over their skills they decided that they need to improve their claw and their fight with e their greatest strength was Speed was greatest strength was Speed was great in their speed with their claws its was significant damage but was not enough for them if they want to fight against full grown wrecking and close combat.
this is not the first time that Bathsheba strengthen an part of their body. in their last life as a Sorcerer through the use of Essence, rituals and experimentation they strengthen every part their body from their organs to the hair on the hade to the very the cells that make up the body for the chance to metamorphic themself into a higher level being. Even grafting treasured items into their very flesh for a unique attribute or ability
Bathsheba begin focus fluctuation of their soul interacted with the Ark triggering a communication link as they begin to figure out how much Essence will be needed for upgrade of the skill [Claw] to the intermediary level of the skills.
[assessing the scale. the approximate level of essence needed will be over 2,500.]
[would the host like to initiate advancement of the Claw?]
The amount of Essence may seem excessive, but it'll be needed for them to improve their health and circular system to be able to utilize that without damaging their internal organs and their arm structure hundreds of years evolution done in just a second magnificent.
Bathsheba close their jade eyes and cold not help but take a deep breath.
[Initiate the advancement of the skill claw.]
[Initiating the advancement of the skill claw using 2,500 essence utilize to strengthening of the skill please be patient and endure through the advancement.]
