The voice rang in Osiris head. The constant chime only furthered his confusion and anger at his situation.
At first, at the beginning of Drygrs' onslaught of punches the voice chimed three times within an hour. Then, after what felt like an eternity of abuse, it only rang once more. Between Drygrs grunting and his own, he began to wish would come back and bring his mind away from the abuse.
"Puddin, I made dinner!" A whimsical voice echoed throughout the chamber. Drygr took a step back and wiped the sweat off of his forehead.
His tusks curled upward with a slight smile as he stepped back and observed the artwork of bruises he left across Osiris. "Looks like times up, guy. I'll see yous brigh'n early." He whipped his hand forward.
Osiris flinched, expecting another beating. To his surprise, however, the metallic lever next to him swung down and with it his body. With a small cry of both pain, and relief, his body slumped and laid limp on the floor. Watching as Drygr left the chamber and closed the gigantic red door behind him. A small click, indicating he locked it tight.
Osiris heaved deep breathes, trying to calm himself down. His eyes roaming across the room coming to the four other people in the room. Each one unconscious, after receiving a huge blunt of Drygr's abuse before he arrived.
'Why did it end up this way..' Osiris thought to himself before rolling onto his back. He stared at the pink ceiling. In the silence the heartbeat of the beast Drygr used as his home could be heard. It was strangely calming, and soothing, just listening to its soft rhythm.
'Manual' His mind immediately came back to the annoying voice that has been plaguing him since he arrived in hell. This might give him some insight into the situation.

[../End Functions List]
'Woah Woah Woah' His thoughts began to run rampant 'This is a God send. Am I a Saint?' He tried to rationalize this anyway possible.. 'But it's the same thing the scientists injected me with before I died, besides... According to them I many crimes..'
Grabbing his head in frustration he rumpled his hair and kicked his legs. His body flailing trying to relieve his stress. The chains on his body echoing in the chamber.
'What was that list with my information? Was it called a Status?'
[../Name-Osiris-AlphaOne]
[../Age-21]
[../Physical Attributes--
--Strength-1
--Speed-1
--Resilience-6
--Recovery-1
--Mastery-1]
The information jolted into his mind the second it became a thought. 'So it only activates based on thought or voice commands..' He contemplated before reading through the list..
'Why is my Resilience so high? It was only 1 before. ISIS-3241 explain the Status Screen.'
[../Name is the hosts identification.
[../Age is the the lifespan of the target.
[../The Physical Attribute list is as described
[../Strength determines the maximum weight the host can lift
[../Speed determines the maximum velocity of the host
[../Resilience determines the maximum force needed to damage the hosts body
[../Recovery determines the rate at which the hosts body heals
[../Mastery determines how rapidly one can understand a new skill
[../Each point represents an average human
[../Currently your Resilience is 6 times that of the average human meaning you are capable of enduring 6 times the trauma without serious injury
'So I can increase my resilience through being harmed?' Osiris thought to himself, not expecting ISIS-3241 to reply.
[../Correct.
[../ISIS-3241 will continue to modify the hosts body upon the circumstances in order to ensure maximum survival potential.
'Can we change your name to Isis? I'm tired of hearing the numbers..'
[../Name changed]
'Well that was easy," a small chuckle left Osiris' lips. The first time he has laughed since he has came to this world. 'This seems to be a good tool.. Hopefully I can break out of here with just this..' His stomach growled rather loudly.
'oh yeah..' He turned his head to stare at the raw meat of the rodent beside him. There was no way he could ingest this safely. 'I really don't have a choice though..'
He sat up and reached and held the carcass close to his mouth. Shutting his eyes tight he bit down as hard as he could upon the meat. The feel of chewy flesh, and dried blood filling his mouth. Holding back the urge to vomit he swallowed.
[../Foreign Genetics Detected
[../Would you like to analyze?]
[Yes]-[No]
He opened his eyes in shocked. 'Yes?' He just barely began to understand the functions and yet from a simple meal he could already observe its effects. 'She's proving more and more useful..' Even though it was just a machine, Isis had a nice feminine ring to it.
[../Analyzing..]
Soon long streams of information filled his head. Elaborate charts and complex names filled his mind. He couldn't understand it one bit, but the flood of information gave him an unbearable head.
Gnashing his teeth he gripped the chains binding his arms. His head lowered as he contained the screams he wanted to yell out.
[../Analysis complete
[../Activate Genetic Metamorphosis?
[Yes]-[No]
At her words the stream stopped, his mind quelled. The pain subsided, but only briefly, until the next series of information and charts began to strip his mind of any peace.
'Isis... Can you show the information simply and easy for me to understand?'
[../Species-Unknown
[../Benefits capable of integration
[../Strength+1
[../Speed +1
[../Recovery +2
[../The ability to eat and digest minerals, fur, metals, and many other sturdy materials
[../Activate Genetic Metamorphosis?
[Yes]-[No]
The words hovered in his mind. There was no telling how painful this experience would be. So far, aside from Drygr, Isis has been a major factor for much of his Agony. However, if Drygr taught him anything, this world is Hell and only Saints could rise and Demons could rise.
'I am certainly no saint... So I have no other choice..' Without any further hesitation he resolved himself completely.
'Yes!'
[../Genetic Metamorphosis Activated
[../Re-configuring]
A surge of pain rose through his body. Every ounce of his being felt as if it was being baptized in fire. This pain was even greater than that he remembered before his death.
His screams echoed loudly in the chamber and heavy sobs of anguish escaped his lips.
On a bed a couple of rooms down, Drygr held a slender looking female in his arms. She was gorgeous, absolutely breathtaking. She lacked her usual four horse-like legs and instead held the figure of a human woman cuddling up to a demon. Their bodies tightly clinging to each other, but her head was buried in his chest.
His trademark devilish grin permeated across his face. A slight spark of joy erupting from his eyes.
"Yous finally gettin it, eh?" This mental anguish and torture was the sweetest treat Drygr could have received in this moment.
Slowly but surely, we're progressing. I'm very much looking forward to writing the chapters to come.
