Regeneration

A red ray of light pierced through the clouds almost as if it appeared from the void. It was travelling faster than the speed of light. It seemed almost illusionary and transparent. No unevolved creature could perceive it.

It was travelling diagonally towards the ground when a boy fifteen years of age completely dressed in black appeared. He was falling towards the ground. His face and arms covered in blood.

The red ray of light accurately pierced his left eye resulting in him feeling a momentary sense of clarity. The headache and the dizziness and the panic disappeared as if it never existed. What replaced it was an absolute clarity. Before the boy could even begin to relish in this omnipotent feeling a piercing pain--the likes of which he had never experienced before in his life--emerged in his left eye.

He couldn't help but scream like a beast.

As the pain subsided after a minute or two an exceedingly mechanical voice appeared in his head with a few words floating up:

[Game Eye]

<Host Detected>

<Analyzing…>

<Binding Criteria Has Been Met>

<Would you like to bind?>

<Yes or No>

He obviously said 'yes' in his mind. All of this happened in less than a minute while the boy was still in an unwilling skydive.

<Binding…>

<Binding Process Completed!>

<Welcome To Game Eye>

<You Have Been Gifted With a Beginners Pack>

<Analyzing Host Situation...>

<Current Situation is Deemed as C-Grade>

<Would you like to forgo three gifts from the beginner pack in exchange for a regeneration skill?>

<Yes or No>

The boy was still dazed at the strange sequence of events presented before his eyes but facing his literally approaching demise he obviously chose 'yes'.

<Skill Purchased>

A strange and ethereal feeling emerged from his left eye spreading throughout his entire body.From his brain,to his blood,to his bones,reaching his spirit and soul. The boy felt as if his entire body was in a warm cocoon.

The feeling disappeared as soon as it came. The wound on his ankle had disappeared as well as the various minor scratches and scrapes.

A minute or so later he crashed sideways into the ground with a boom. Even though he put his head between his arms and bent his knees as much as possible his right arm broke. Including his right leg. Maybe his hip.Three of his ribs and there was a major crack on his skull. All of his internal organs were rattled.

His ears were ringing and blood was rushing out of his orifices. He immediately fainted.

As soon as he hit the ground that warm feeling resurfaced but instead of spreading throughout his body like before. It was entirely concentrated at his brain. Rapidly healing it. Reconnecting the neurons and regenerating the brain tissue. After the brain it spread towards his vital organs and then his bones and eventually the muscles and tissues...

Two Hours Later:

The boy regained consciousness with a groan. He sat up with difficulty. He was a lot more skinnier. Almost like a skeleton. His skin colour was deep green but it wasn't rotting.

It was daytime. The hot rays of the sun made him squint his right eye. As for the left eye he didn't feel so much as a prick.

His left pupil was crimson as for his right pupil it was green. He stood up after a few minutes. The area around him was dyed red. It was probably the boy's own blood.

He felt hungry and thirsty and hungry and more hungry. That was the only things on his mind. He started to walk on that concrete path which was broken and cracked. There two canals on its left and right side about twenty inches wide filled with a greenish black liquid.He wasn't going to drink that,obviously.

As he walked he saw a human man. The man was running from something. Perhaps, it was the boy himself.

As soon as the boy saw the man a deep primordial desire awoke within him:HUNGER!!!

The urge to consume him. The boy didn't even consider resisting that desire or considering whether it was right or wrong instead proceeding to charge towards the man and tackling him.

The boy and the man both fell down. The boy immediately went into a berserk rage punching the man in a frenzy whilst he was on top of of him.

The man groaned and wailed. Suddenly, a knife pierced into the boy's abdomen. The boy was stunned resulting in a momentary loss of concentration.

The man utilized this loss of concentration by punching the boy square in his face with his free hand. The boy lost his balance. The man screamed and pushed him off of him. The knife was still in the boy's abdomen.

Just as the man thought he won and the boy was done for he realized that blood wasn't gushing out of the boy's wound. There wasn't even an ounce of pain expressed on his face. Instead the boy pulled out the knife and rushed towards the man.

Before the man could even react to the horrific sight before him he got stabbed…

ONCE!

TWICE!!

THRICE!!!...

The boy kept on stabbing him for twelve times. Even going as far as to twist the knife in his abdomen making sure the man was dead.

Then, he proceeded to rip off chunks of flesh and eating them like a beast...
