《Awakening of a Monster》Chapter 2 - Changes
Advertisement
Amon fell off the sofa and onto the floor along with Lilith. Quickly, Jax, Molly, and his Mother rushed to the both of them.
While the 3 of them were asking if they were alright, Amon and Lilith were convulsing on the floor, the pain taking away their ability to control their bodies and speak. Amon felt all the fibers in his body screaming under the pressure they were under like it was all being pulled apart.
"ARGHHHH!" Amon could only let out a bestial howl as the tension finally snapped in him. His bones snapped in half with sickening cracks, his tendons and ligaments tore with sounds similar to a whip snapping and his muscles were wiggling under his skin like many miniature snakes moving in all sorts of directions they weren't supposed to.
Worst of all was his nerve endings and blood vessels. They were torn up like wet paper in a blender, causing monumental amounts of pain to Amon.
His blood seemed to be pushing it's way out of his body from his destroyed blood vessels. Too everyone surrounding Amon's horror, his blood was coming out of his pores and pooling on the floor and then simply disappearing only to be replaced by more blood that came out of Amon.
By now he'd stopped moving and screaming entirely, he just lay there as red demonic tattoos showed up on his bronze skin giving off an aura of an Ancient Tyrant, full of bloodthirst.
His organs were all mush, his bones had pretty much disappeared, his muscles, tendons, and ligaments were all in torn pieces. He was practically dead at this point but suddenly a blood red energy, along with a black energy came and started repairing everything.
The way it rebuilt everything was with the goal of making it much, much better.
The muscles were the first to be remade, they looked quite similar to how they were before but they seemed more like red gems full of inhuman power now, with black runes rotating on them slowly but with each rotation it gave off an Imperialistic aura of Majesty and Power and the muscles became stronger because of the aura release.
The tendons and ligaments were grown back black but seemed to act how they'd normally act but they seemed to be incredibly flexible but still filled with amazing amounts of explosive power. They also had runes spinning on them, but they were red in coloring but they had the same effect as the black runes.

The bones, like the ligaments and tendons, were rebuilt with a black color. They seemed as hard as diamonds or the hardest of metals, they even had a metallic sheen on them which further amplified the impression that they were indestructible. The red runes on the bones seemed to be even more complex than the others, with mixtures of red and black giving off an aura of vigor and extreme power.
The marrow in the bone was pure red, along with black runes on it. Each little bit of marrow seemed like it could provide endless amounts of vitality.
As the marrow started to furiously produce blood, the blood vessels were made next. Every blood vessels were now red, with black crack-like lines running alongside it. Each individual vein and artery seemed like it could hold tenfold or even twentyfold the pressure of what it used to be able to.
The nerves were soon back again, they looked the same but from the aura they were giving off, one could tell that they were vastly superior to the nerves of the past.
As the organs were being made, the process slowed down quite a lot, with each organ taking tenfold the time it took for any of the other things to be rebuilt. The digestive system was the first to be rebuilt and it gave off an insatiable aura as if Amon could eat the world with this stomach and still not be satisfied. It also seemed vastly superior in its ability to absorb nutrients from food. It was red, with black runes on it.
Other organs such as the kidney, the liver, and the pancreas, were all made soon after the digestive system and then the rest of the cardiovascular was starting to be rebuilt.
By the time it was finished, any doctor would be shocked if they saw it because of how simply inhuman it was. He didn't just have one heart anymore but two instead. They seemed vastly superior to his past heart and even if he only had one of them, he'd be miles better but now that he had two of these superior hearts it was unimaginable how much better he was in terms of stamina and whatnot., the two hearts also shone with an intense red light. Both of the hearts had black runes rotating on them.
As the blood thrummed through the new system, every cell in Amon's body burst out in a magnificent display of vitality. Each drop of blood was much denser than it was in the past, meaning it could carry more nutrients, oxygen, and energy.

The pulmonary system was next to be rebuilt. Much like the cardiovascular system, there were two pairs of lungs in Amon's chest, both as black as night and filled with blood-red runes projecting an aura of vitality.
Outside of Amon's body Jax, Molly, and his Mom were surrounded by lights of different colors. Jax had a red and white aura surrounding him, the red was different to the runes in Amon's body as Jax's red was more of a fiery one instead of blood red.
Molly had a green aura along with a white one, while his Mom had a dark blue aura along with a brown one.
As the auras sank into their skin, they all looked at Amon and Lilith. Amon had grown to an astounding height of 7ft and had a single black horn protrusion on the center of his forehead. He ears had grown pointed and his teeth, other than the front four on the top and bottom, were all pointed like a predators teeth. His face seemed more handsome but at the same time more sharp and fierce, like a wild animal.
Lilith, however, hadn't changed much, she just looked incredibly soft all of a sudden, kind of like jelly.
Soon after the aura's disappeared from the three peoples body's, both Amon and Lilith started to show signs of waking up.
Amon got up first, opening his now blood red reptilian eyes, only to realize he was much taller than before. Then he felt the power coursing through every fiber of his body like he could tear apart metal with his bare hands. He looked down and felt his thickly corded muscle with a curious expression on his face. It felt like touching warm metal cables that had been packed together to seem like a person's musculature.
Amon felt indestructible and unbeatable with this level of physical prowess which was so incredibly superior to his past self that it was like comparing a child to a special ops soldier.
Lilith got up and also started flexing her hand, feeling the power within it. She'd obviously been boosted by her physique change as well.
Before any of them could talk, more text appeared in front of each of them.
Congratulations! You have fully completed your physique and bloodline change! You awakened a Demon-Dragon Hybrid physique and bloodline (The name will be withheld for now.) This grants you immense physical prowess and talent, along with unimaginably dense and pure Magic Power.
As is with everyone, you will get 2 boons and 1 con. For you they are:
First Boon- Modified [Eight Demonic Gates Breathing Technique].
Second Boon- Natural-Born Warrior. This boon gives you a massive advantage in combat, taking away your fear and hesitation and replacing it with excitement and passion. Naturally stronger than others of your species, as a warrior should be.
First Con- Battle Addict. You feel a constant urge to fight, while out of battle you feel bored and restless. During a battle, you are a Berserker, a madman who slaughters all those in his way. But the more you participate in a fight, the more rationale you lose.
"Amon, is that you?" Jax looked at the slightly inhuman looking Amon and spoke with a nervous shake in his voice. Amon who wasn't fully sure with the changes in his body looked confused but still answered anyway "Yeah, it's me." Looking at their lack of a pale face from pain, Amon guessed something asked them something "I'm guessing you guy's awoken Abilities?"
All three of them nodded their heads and then went to speak about their 'Class' as they call it.
"Well, I unlocked a class called Spear Hero. It gives me a boost with all polearms, despite its name only including one, and also gives me a major potential boost." Jax looked quite proud as he talked about his class "Oh yeah, almost forgot. It gives me a boost to my physical capabilities straight away." he said this while flexing his slender arm.
Molly hit him on the back of the head as she spoke about her power "I got something called Sword Hero. It's pretty much the same as Jax's class but instead of Polearms, it's bladed weapons." While Molly didn't seem proud of her class, she did seem satisfied that her class seemed to share a connection with Jax's.
Before his Mom could speak, Amon could feel bloodlust aimed at everyone in the room before 3 big green figures burst into the room.

A lot of similar stories I've read make me ask "what kind of game would work like that?" Sometimes believable gameplay elements give way for a more immersive story, but I hope to make that as balanced as possible rather than going for cheap thrills. Well, I guess we will just see how this goes.
