Chapter 2

Everyday life started very early in the morning, karoka village home of the Boarbug and the puga ,every day these boarbug ate lots of Puga aquatic plants that the villager grew around the river ,their home are placed above the river crisscrossing with the bridge between houses, karoka is situated in the river bordering the jungle.

Sion : hmm what am i gonna do now?im still a baby like hell they gonna listen to me ,and somehow we spoke the same language,ill just watch for now.

Kaui : Are u awake son ?mommys here were gonna go to the farm now

( they newborn are always by their mother side they took their offspring everywhere with them)

while being carried at the back i watched the scenery , for a village its quite sophisticated, everyone got their duties, some men are taking care of the boarbug, i see some women are preparing to use the windmill to grind the leaves of the puga.

and i was amazed that i could understand their language but they couldnt understand mine,later on while on break my mom Kaui,told me i hope u got our gene son while she swings me left and right

i could see that my mom really loves me ,

Kaui , someone called her , what is it Latu? nothing just calling to see what youre doing here ,hey did you hear about the hunt?the kakunas are preparing to hunt the bullfrog.

yes ive heard from Jiga our chief found the tracks of the bullfrog near the river.

Koko ready the boarbugs were going hunting,ask the kakunas to get ready,every veteran hunter are to guard three of them.

Yes chief we'll be ready in a moment.

Jiga! come here ,hows your wife ? i heard from the shaman that shes given you a boy

yes chief ,i've got a boy,im going to train him as soon as hes ready . it wont take long

(they mature more faster than the average humans,cause every human here are able to assimilate and gain new genes by eating meat and drinking blood but everyone have the different aptitude for assimilating new genes)

Very good ,we need all the hands we've got, ready your boarbug

Fweet Fweet Fweet (whistling sounds)

a 3 meters long boarbug with a huge tusk comes near the chief

the chief rubs it head and it let out a Hog hog hog sounds like it was enjoying it

In the jungle, every veteran hunter are accompanying 3-2 kakunas each to teach them how to hunt

Ready men, the bullfrog are coming

CROAGGG CROAGG CROAGGG (??? sounds)

suddenly they saw bullfrog jumping ,they migrate from the east from the jungle toward the riverlands to mate and produce offspring in the winter.

Chief muru: NOW!

suddenly a herd of boarbugs comes out of the side trying to herd the bullfrog to an open space.

The biggest bullfrog keeps roaring to tell the other bullfrog to keep running,

the karoka hunter keeps chasing, Abel one of the new kakunas are eager to show his prowess to the chief, he raised up his Spear and Charge beyond the Group, After him koko! guard him,Abel is one of the promising youth that Karoka village have

CHARGEE!!! roared abel, He keeps urging his boarbug to go near the slowest bullfrog finally the chance shows he jump and Stab the bullfrog , suddenly the bullfrog Jumped Sideways like a battering ram It collided with Abel

BAM! While his spear stabbed through the bullfrog stomach he crashed to the dirt .

The chief shouts Jiga look after him,while he continued to chase the bullfrog.

Koko neared the bullfrog and try to see if abel is okay

Are u okay Abel?

Yeah im fine just some broken Hand,could you help me lifting the bullfrog, koko said Jiga help me remove this

okay ,HMMPH and Jiga toss the bullfrog like its nothing several meter releasing abel from beneath

you should stick to the formation. Remember there is more power in number.

finally the hunt ends, the karoka village received their hunters while bringing quite a bounty from their hunt. the village is in an uproar! ALL HAIL CHIEF MURU!!

the shaman shows up and started the ritual,the first kill goes to the rivergod

all the villager comes to riverside and started praying

The shaman unsheated his Blade , and started cutting the bullfrog head

We beseech you almighty rivergod ,may you live long and prosper here are our offering to you

he tossed the bullfrog head to the river. while the other villager chant UM UM UM UM UM UM!

Suddenly a big shadow could be seen under the water CHOMP!

sion can see that these villager are way stronger than the average human even back then when the gene serum are already released they must have something different .

at night Jiga comes back at home bringing 2 pair of bullfrog legs

Kaui tomorrow dont forget to smoke these ,yes dear

how is sion today? hes growing okay?

While Abel was being surrounded by the other kakunas,hey abel youre so strong how could you be so strong? said by a girl

another boy replied ofcourse hes strong !while his mother are from here, his father is from the Lasaka village they grow Centicrab (centipede+crab) there, later on you will see his skin are going to have the harden skill !

Koko heard what theyre talking about and said ,haha kids dont worry our karoka village Boarbug is powerfull ,we got the power of a boarbug! .

Yes yes Uncle koko all the kakunas are saying.

(so basically they evolve by eating the meat that the most but every individual Assimilation of gene are different although they can keep eating different species some choose to upgrade their own gene, as they say Jack of all trades master of none its better to focus on one or two gene)

Sion while being carried by his father listen to these conversation between the villager

So thats it! my underwater breathing must've come from the tardigrade gene! the very basic gene serum that i have, i cant wait to see what other gene that i have

i sure hope the Gen-Ev serum comes with me it should gives me at and advantage later on when i grew up , cause the Gen-Ev have the ability to maximize and control every gene that he can gain.

(basically he got tardigrade and boarbug gene at the moment when he eats something the tardigrade and the boarbug gain additional powerboost while others have to choose one of each)

Today im 6 months old apparently human mature faster here (6 months old is like 6years old) and they have a longer livespans while remaining with a youthfull looks ,i woke up early in the morning ,live started very early in the karoka village i see my mom waking up and tidied herself to go to the puga farm. mom said dont wander off anywhere today dad will teach you how to swim i replied yes mom.

after mom left my dad comes out of her room,lets go son i will teach you how to swim today we of the karoka village must be able to swim. i wanted to reply that yes i can swim but i keep silent and just nod.

at the riverbank the current is calm but the river depth is soo deep that sometimes i wonder is all river here is so deep? and does every river have their own rivergod?

Son ! dont wander around thinking anything else,we of the karoka obtained the sharkroc(shark+crocodile imagine a shark with a 2 meter long tail with scales all over ) gene because our rivergod species is at odds with their rivergod

younglings of our rivergod the Hi-Lion are often being preyed buy member of the sharkroc, upon time and time we feast the meat of sharkcroc thats why its embedded in our DNA.

ill show you now how to control it,first come to the waters

relax first get a fell of it i jumped excitedly hearing that this is gonna be the first lesson,splash splash

easy son relax yourself, later on concentrate on your neck first just concentrate and your body will do the work, dont panic okay im going to submerged you ,i nodded , I feel my self getting submerged suddenly gills started showing up on my neck !??! but this is different from the tardigrade way of breathing under water later on ill try it myself.

okay youre starting to get the hang of it he raise me above the water surface ,now focus on your legs and your back, i started to concentrate and suddenly fins started showing up by itself.

Very good son lets try swimming follow me

i started swimming following my dad and the sights was breathtaking

its like theres a new world underwater i see lots of creatures swimmin here and fro

my dad gives me the signal to go up, i comes up and ask what is it dad

Son i gotta go to feed the boarbug now ,you can continue practicing swimming here just dont wander to the depths. i replied yes dad.

after he left i went back underwater to try to control my body to shapeshift i concentrated and imageine that i am a tardigrade, my fin started dissapearing , i can feel my skin pore expanding (tardigrade breathes by diffusion they dont have lungs gills and whatsoever) .

This is it! but i dont have to speed to maneuver underwater,hmm letme try this

fins fins fins

and fins started showing on my back and legs, SO it works! you can combine the beast abilities!

happily i started swimming seeing a species that looks like a Green clam but when i got close it suddenly tries to take a bite of me i see their necks expanding from inside the clam with razor teeth,huh this is a weird clam i think to myself.

suddenly i feel like im being watched,i try looking around and see some shiny scales swimming toward me

Oh shit this is not happening! i see a Sharkcroc swimming toward me , ive turn back the very instant i see it coming, Damn damn damn go away fishy go go go

while swimming above the water i look at my back seeing the sharkcroc like teeth grinning like im an easy snack.

COME ON! 5 more meters ! finally he got close and i've notice that i cant outrun this sharkcroc then i remember SCALES! thats it

i tried focusing scales scales scales ! 0.5 meters before the shark jaws the scales shows up like instantly and when it took a bite of my legs luckily it stopped from it getting through. but it still goes a few cm inside my legs and it hits my bone ! i brace myself here comes the pain!

AHhhhhkkkHHH

you think youre the only one that can bite i also can bite , i imagine the Sharkcrocs and the boarbug jaws for a moment and my mouth started shapeshifting into it while the sharkcroc keeps biting me in the leg i swept my leg upward and i aim the sharkcroc eye CHOMP!

first thing i feel is the shell like scales And i keep adding strength to my jaws BITE BITE BITE!

finally the scales broke and the sharkcroc blood and mine is mixed ,it dyed the color red on some side of the river .finally the sharkcroc release my leg and it ran to the depths.

i swam frantically to the riverbed Huff huff huff fucking fish! wait till get i get more genes ! ill come get you! i kept swearing on the way to the village. while thinking that i was quite lucky

the sharkcroc must be a youngling because the adult ones are way way bigger. the growth phase of these animals here are unlimited the more gene you have the bigger and more ferocious they are.

i've finally reached home ,on the way back to my home the villagers keeps asking me whats wrong with your leg? i said i got attacked by a sharkcroc and everyone laugh at me saying sharkcroc doesnt comes to shallow water, and if they were you wouldve been sleeping under the river now.
