Eating a Crystal

Everything that Gary was doing right now was based on a theory of his own. Altereds gave him more stat points compared to the beasts that he killed and ate. The beasts had the crystals removed from their bodies, and the flesh only had a hint of power in them when consumed.

Whereas Altereds were created using the crystals that came from beasts. Which was what led Gary to his sudden and rash decision to bite into the crystal. Ideally he would have attempted to eat the body with the crystal in it, but that would have been a strange action to take, not that biting into the crystal wasn’t.

In Gary’s head, since he ate things to gain power, he thought it was the next best thing. His hard jaw was able to crush the crystal and as the pieces went down his throat and into his stomach he could feel a bubble of energy building up.

He was too far in at this point so all he could do was continue eating the crystal until it was completely gone.
