Hahh…

I am so weak.

My body hurts…

All of it.

I keep moving my jaws trying to do something.

There is something tremendously heavy crushing me from above.

Ugh…

I keep biting it, taking away pieces of it, munching it, and swallowing it.

I keep eating and eating.

I am on the verge of passing out…

I have been on the verge of passing out many times already.

In between strange hallucinations, I keep eating.

I heard weird sounds, strange voices…

The voice of my sister…

My father…

My brother…

My mother…

The neighbor.

The meowing of my cat.

My mind feels dizzy, many things are happening around me.

I think I had some kind of contusion… or something.

Ungh…

I brace myself as I keep hearing these weird voices, the sounds of a car rushing around, of beasts groaning at my ears as they savor my flesh and drink my blood.

I sense the cold take away my entire being as I am frozen alive.

Only for a warmth to begin to surge within my nether regions reaching all up to my head.

And then the cold comes back simultaneously after.

I keep struggling, I keep munching, biting, tearing apart, and swallowing.

I hear the voices of beings that can see me, of entities that glare at me. Who are they?

I begin to hear strange shadows telling me things I don't understand.

I start to hear the voices of those I love screaming my name.

A second after, I hear the cracking laughter of something sinister, of something monstrously malicious.

The roars of countless wolves resonated within my mind, and then their howls.

I sense as if countless spikes pierce my flesh and the Ice Horned Rabbits feast on my internal organs.

I hear the words of the spirits telling me to…

Keep going.

What is this?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

What is happening now?

I feel like the world around me warps and twists with every question, I can only see darkness, yet it feels as if I am seeing all colors.

The piercing jaws of the bear crushing into my entire body and tearing me apart.

The swallowing sounds of my throat as my jaws eat and eat without stopping.

I slash with my claws and keep eating without stopping.

Everything is dizzy, everything is cloudy.

What am I doing?

The only thing I have now is the instinct to eat… to keep eating ad eating.

I keep eating once more, swallowing, and filling my stomach, only to eat even with it being filled.

The warmth encompasses my body and then cold takes hold once more.

What is this sensation?

My memories rush in and out of my mind, I don't even know who I am anymore.

What am I doing other than eating and eating?

I eat… and keep eating…

And eat…

And eat…

And eat…

And…

Eat…

…

I hear the voice of my sister as I recall something within my memories.

"Come on, why don't we go have some fun? It is my birthday after all!"

"I… Well… I don't think I can get out yet… and I don't really like snow."

"Aw… Why don't you come out with us? You're always… closed in the room… I feel like you don't love us anymore… Mom and dad are always worried about what's in your mind yet… you never say anything…"

"Ah… Sorry, I didn't want to make you worry…"

"Are you really okay?"

"I… am…"

"Really?"

"Yes… I am okay. Sigh. Alright, alright. Let's go… But don't tell me to go skiing or something, okay?"

"YAY! Okay then! Go take a bath and pack things up!"

"Ugh… Alright then…"

Sister…

I miss you…

[Day 20]

I am alive.

Even though I clearly heard how all my bones were crushed.

Even though I clearly felt how my entire being was flattened like a bloody pancake.

Somehow, my head only received a small crack into the skull, and by some inner instinct as a dragon, I began to devour the ice bear.

Oh yeah, he died.

He died after crushing me.

He wanted to take me with him…

What a fight…

I really did almost died there.

I should be dead by now.

Yet I woke up inside of his corpse, covered in blood, flesh, and his inner organs.

I have been eating him up from the inside out and using his body as shelter as well.

By eating his flesh, I gained a lot of calories over time and managed to regenerate through my Immortal Body.

I am as good as new.

In fact, I even evolved through all of this.

I probably ate his Mana Core while I was hallucinating.

That was way too close.

If it wasn't because of Immortal Body…

This cheat is really good. Although it needs a lot of energy to kick in… as long as I can eat something, I can regenerate any wounds and even grow cut-off limbs.

My tail is already back.

In fact, I am also quite big now.

I woke up while being surrounded by the bones and fur of the beast, most of his flesh was gone, his head too, I wasn't the only one that ate him, I heard many beasts coming here to take a piece of flesh as well, I heard their roars which gave me horrible nightmares.

Luckily, they didn't eat me and just ate away the giant carcass left.

I feel like I was born anew once more.

What a strange feeling.

I glance at my surroundings as I see that things are normal and tranquil.

In fact, I thought some wolves would try to attack me, but nothing.

I guess it might be because I have grown quite strong now. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

I exude the power of an Upper Stage Rank 1 Mana Core.

I guess eating the mana core of an upper stage makes you an upper stage…?

Or maybe not?

I don't know, but I have clearly evolved.

Day 20 and I am still kicking…!

Yeah… I don't know why but all this energy is just not here anymore, my mind feels cold.

Ugh…

I decide to eat the bones and fur as I glance at my Status.
