Afternoon, it's still snowing, the sun didn't come out. Snow cover all of my view, the tree, the grass, even the air itself is not spare. I can't hunt in this weather, there is no animal out there, most of them are hibernating.
From yesterday my food supply is already depleted, with supply gone I start to hunt again, but the weather only makes it worse for me. In the end, I sacrifice myself to feed myself. Weird? It's weird, the thing is I can regenerate myself as long I have mana, and mana, I have a lot.
The process is not too complicated, it has three simple steps, transform, remove and repeat. Transform, as its name suggests, I transform part of my body into some kind of meat. Remove, I remove part of my body with slime body splitting ability. And the last, repeat, it just repeats the process all over again.
For what kind of body I turn into food, I usually grow some new limbs to transform, then I will separate it and eat it. I didn't have any choice, after arriving in this world I didn't know what kind of nutrients I need, especially with my big body, so I play safe with eating one meal a day.
I need a new hunting ground, a place where the winter didn't affect its denizens severely, but what kind of place that would be, outside the forest maybe? Or in the forest. It seems more reasonable that the place is outside the forest, but where?
Obviously, I didn't know this world map, even this forest alone I still didn't know much about it, don't know how big its, don't know its layout, yeah, I barely explore anything. A place I can access but not too far from the forest will be perfect.
Hmm... Still doesn't ring any bell yet, Ah! The mountain, that place is always snowy even in the summer. Mountain, I more or less know about it, the lynx memory provides me with some information, perfect! Then I shall go to the mountains.
I prepare my clothes, the clothes I make using part of my body, with fur from beer, skin from deer and thread from spider I make quite good clothes if I say so myself.
Even if I didn't wear any clothes I still will be fine. This thing always wanders me, I don't know what kind of tolerance I have, but it seems I can use the full capabilities of the monster I eat.
I depart from my home and make my way to the mountains, snowy, that's what I feel, my feet and my body just constantly on snow, some from the ground and most from the air. It didn't hinder me though, I can still walk easily and it feels get to walk with two legs again, not four.
Not only walking, running with two legs is very great too. Not to mention I can run faster by editing my legs, make them more higher to cover more distance. But don't want to though, I still want to retain the feeling of my old body.
Talking about editing my body, I spend a great amount of time increasing my transforming speed, my goal is to make it an instant transformation, but now I'm not on that level yet. Nonetheless, I can still transform very fast, in the beginning, it takes about ten seconds to one action, for example, regrowth a limb or transform it.
Now it only takes about five seconds, so if the situation is needed I can transform my hand into a spear, which comes from the bunny horn. I don't know this OP ability exists and it falls into my hand, Eris-sama you got the right choice!
To classify my ability, it's simply like the black-haired girl from My Hero Academia, she can create the thing I also can create a thing, but I can transform she can't and my cost is mana, not foods.
My ability is super cool too, I can shoot some web and use it like Spiderman, how awesome is that. After discovering this awesome ability, now I can say I'm not regretting coming to this world.
After running in the sea of snow and tree, I finally arrive at the bottom of the mountain, this is not your ordinary bottom though, it's a lake where I meet the lynx. The lake itself is frozen at least on the surface. I broke some of those ice and drink the water, yap, still fresh.
I'm tempted to transform into fish and swim upward, but not gonna do that, don't know what kind of creature lives there and I prefer to fight on land instead of the sea. Prefer is not the right word, I can't fight on the water is the right word.
As I expected there are no monsters around here, not even a single track of what can be categorised as a monster to be seen, they all in hibernate state. Hibernate, if I only I can hibernate, wait, I can some of the monster I eat surely can hibernate.
I will not do it though, I already there no point going back again, even after I hunt some monster in the mountains I still will not do it. It was a waste of time, I can use some of the time to shorten my transformation period instead of hibernating.
Well let's climb the mountains, snowy as it is I can still walk quite easily, maybe I should try to fly instead. That seems like a good idea, so I form a wing and gradually transform into a giant owl. I make myself more bigger than the original owl, that's to deter any potential enemy and to better fight with the snow and wind.
Fly! I am flying, this is amazing, the snow makes the flying experience more unique than it should be, I already fly before and it was the most amazing thing I have ever felt, at that time the sky is still clear so this black sky certainly gives a more unique feeling.
The further up I fly the more difficult its to not fall, but I still decide to fly, at least until I found some cave, I land carefully and transform back into my human form, I open my belly which my clothes are and wore it.
I steadily walk into the cave only to found out the cave has some inhabitants, a Troll, a giant Troll with some muscle in its body and a big log on its hand, not only one troll but a six troll.
This was a blessing in disguise for me, in a game Troll usually have the best regeneration ability among monster, many say a troll can't die even if you cut their head, but there are specific weakness troll have, weakness to fire and acid a troll can't regenerate wound damaged by that thing.
Obviously, I don't have a fire I'm not a dragon, but what I have is acid there are plenty of that in my stomach and don't underestimate my stomach, I can literally digest anything and thanks to that I can poop without any problems.
But it quite hard to fight a group of Troll is quite hard, well I got no choice but to do it, so let's do it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
I use the bear skill of intimidation, they all instantly froze in place, I run to one of them, along the way I make my hand turn into a blade from the rabbit I eat. Slash one of the Troll head.
The rest of the Troll awakened by the attack, they try to attack me with their log, I catch it with my other hand, weak, it's very weak, I pull the Troll back, slash his head and switch my attention to the other troll. Two of them already dead, the regeneration is not as strong as the myth suggest, guess myths is just a myth, huh.
I can easily kill them because this is a perfect place for me and not for them, a Troll can't fully use its strength and swing its cub in this cave, there is simply not enough room to do so.
Two trolls back down and try to run from me, I run to them, cut their legs and spray some acid so he can't regenerate, the Troll falls headfirst to the ground, I didn't miss the chance and quickly cut their head off, ending their life.
Seeing me easily killing their friends they try to attack me, a cub flying from of my face, I catch it with hand, this time the attack is more weaker than the first one. Pulling him then jump to his shoulders, I swing my blade hand flawlessly cutting his head off.
One more, I turn my other hand into a horn. The last standing Troll screams and attacks me with all of his strength, it meaningless to me, I swiftly cut his cub and stab its heart, I turn my horned hand back to normal.
When I try to pull back my hand, I can feel the beating hard of the Troll, this dude is still alive even after I stab his heart, interesting if I have this kind of regeneration it will make me very hard to kill.
I modified my hand to slime-like, then making it bigger and bigger until it dwarfed the Troll body, I engulf the still-living body and swallow it alive. I make the acid concentration very high in my hand to make the digesting process faster, after I have done with the first troll I didn't waste my time and resume to the other one, in total I consume five Troll.
The aftermath was messy, green blood spilling all over the place and of course me too, I take off my clothes. I make another limb behind me, this time it's a tail and put the clothes in there, I modified the tail to have weak acid in it so it can clean any dirt I have.
After all of that, the Troll memory start flowing into my mind, the memory extracting ability didn't hurt me anymore, my pain tolerance already improved months ago, from that time I didn't experience any headache or pain when extracting memory.
What makes my head hurt though is the Troll memory, how should I say this, it's the most disgusting lifestyle I have ever seen. Killing monster for fun, wasting food and the lack of sanitation, the sheer of uncleanness the Troll have just made me want to puke, even a monkey know where and when to poop! And the Troll I eat is just... Huh... I'm lost for word.
Whatever my business in here is done, I want to go back now. Tomorrow I will come here again to see one remaining dead body, I want to see if this dead Troll can be turned into an undead, if it can, that's fantastic news for me.
Undead is a living dead therefore it needs no food, if I can get my hand into one of those my long terms food problem will be solved, if not, then that's too bad. I expect this dead Troll will turn into a Zombie type because it still has most of the body.
Well, that's for tomorrow, for now, let's go home and sleep a comfy sleep.
