Copping a feel

--

Leo POV-

My name is Leo Parvione, a young 14 years boy living in a small village lost in the mountain far from everything and everyone. Calling it a village would be generous since the village count barely 100 villagers and is constituted of 22 small houses huddled together.

Some of us grow crops, others raise farm animals and some are hunters... I live in a house together with my mother and 2 sisters. I work hard in the field to feed them since my mother health turned for the worst and can barely get out of bed now... My two younger sisters are also to young to be of any help.

My father died when i was 10 years old. A stupid hunting accident... How can someone not notice a pitfall 30 feet in diameter... So my days are spend tending the few fields in our possessions and feed the nekcich. (Type of birds raised for their eggs.)

Right now i am fighting a loosing battle against worms which are ravaging my crops. Desperation would be a good word to describe my present emotion. Standing in the middle of my field i see all my hard work being eaten away by insects...

Floff* flop* flop*

Suddenly hearing a strange approaching sound from behind i turn to see and i am immediately grabbed in an enormous clawed hand then transported in the air at high speed. The moment i wake up from my stupor i am already to far away for my yells to be heard...

There was nothing i could do to free myself from it's grip, he was probably taking me to his lair to be her baby's food.. That would explain the abduction instead of it simply eating me on the spot. I never saw a dragon before but i never imagined them to be this big.

After around 30 minutes the dragon then started going down in the direction of a big cave overlooking a plain littered with corpses. I was terrified, i was going to die horribly eaten away by dragons leaving my sick mother and baby sisters to fed for themselves. What a cruel fate...

When then entered the cave, the dragon walked a few minute reaching a big room with a river of lava flowing trough it. We then entered a dark room where the dragon freed me from it's grasp. I looked around, then as my eyes got used to the darkness i could see 2 glowing red orbs ahead of me, seemingly looking at me while creeping closer and closer.

Then a dark figure stopped in front of me, looking at me from above as i had fell on my ass peeing in my already soiled pants from earlier. Then the figure said with his eerie, very low pitch voice.

“Thank you Thorodan, he should be perfect.” (Dark figure)

Michael POV-

It has been 2 weeks now since Ester's accident... I could recently stop artificially maintaining her alive... She can do it alone now and no longer need mana transfusion. She sleep most of the time tho... She need a lot of rest to be 100% !

What i find most interesting is that she seem pretty healed but sleep as if she was still in critical condition... Her appearance also seem to be slowly changing. Her hairs are getting paler, her skin turning blue/purplish and her eyes turning purple...

I link this phenomenon is due to me transfusing her with my black mana so i hope i haven't broken or infected her in some way. I don't know if it's only me but i also feel as if she grew bigger.

She sometime wake up and i give her some reassuring words, that i am taking care of her to just rest... But she usually immediately fall back asleep. I force fed her little bits of food and water everyday and a few herbs recommended by my Cellphone.

Back then when i connected myself to every cells in the damages area of her body i discovered the most important loophole of all! I finally saw the possibility to 'feel!', through someone else body but who care... I immediately got the idea of completely taking over someone's body making it my own!

I then asked Cellphone where were the nearest humans around, she then gave directions to which i sent Thorodan to go get me a live testing subject. Ho yes by the way the dragon's name is Thorodan, a 47 thousand years old northern continent dragon...

We had time to exchange quite a bit of information that helped me understand this world better. Not much information about human politics thought, obviously a dragon wouldn't care about such a thing as for them humans are all humans... No reason to differentiate them.

After me asking him for a live test subject he quickly went out the cave, then in the direction previously mentioned. Around 1 hours later he came back with a young boy around 14-15 years of age, dirty and wearing ragged clothes. His fingernails were covered in dirt and were quite gross looking indicating this young boy was working hard everyday.

The young boy had short brown hairs, brown eyes and was around 3/4 of my height. Thorodan then said.

{Is he to your liking? I can go get another one if you want...} (Thorodan)

“Thank you Thorodan, he should be perfect.” (Michael)

I then look at the young boy who was on his ass peeing his pants then asked him.

“Will you be so kind as to assist me in doing some experimentation young man?” (Michael)

“WwwWwho are you?? WwwWwhat kkk kind oo of experimentation?” (Leo) He then said while getting up on his feet.

“A very simple one young man... I want to experiment on how to feel once again.” (Michael)

“wWwww What do you mean??” (Leo)

“I just need one thing from you really... You body...” (Michael)

I then grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up to my eyes height staring at him face to face. First his eyes showed surprise, then it slowly turned to terror, then to panic. As he started struggling and trying to hopelessly undo my grasp, tears started forming in the corners of his eyes.

“Shhhhh Shhhhh it's allright it's alright. Don't resist, just slowly go to sleep and the pain will stop.” (Michael)

Few seconds later he stopped flapping his feet around, at the same time his arms fell down lifelessly. Life had left his eyes. I then let him fall on the ground ready for experimentation. I start pouring my mana into his body. It appears that this process will be longer than i had anticipated.

The human body have so many intricate bits and pieces that need to be considered. So i simply concentrated on his nervous system. An hour later i had completely taken over his nervous system and proceeded in poking at his belly..

I could feel it perfectly! It was as if i was touching my own body with a incorporeal hand. Truly a weird feeling, but not disagreeable... I then pinched the body and the pain felt definitely real. I could also feel the temperature of the room, the humidity and i could also feel Thorodan's breath.

I laughed at the thought of omitting to take over the nose to avoid smelling this place. A few hours later i had infused my mana in all of his muscle and had abandoned the idea of taking his eyes for now... It was really complicated and it was so much easier to simply form my mana eyes into his eyeballs.

That made the young body eye's glow red which was quite eerie apparently from what my cellphone said... With my eyes now in place it truly felt as if i was in this body now. I slowly started trying to move the same way i had been doing up till now. I was not controlling his muscle but the mana in them so the feeling was the same.

But i quickly made a troubling discovery, this body was almost completely filled with my mana but i still had 9/10 of my mana outside of it. I never realized before but human body have a maximum capacity in mana storage greatly influenced by body size.

This body was like an ant compared to Thorodan's yet i was trying to fit inside it the equivalent of 25 time the total amount of mana Thorodan have. I had fed from every living behind surrounding me since the first day i came to this world and had now accumulated a huge amount of it.

Condensing all my mana in my 'mana body' was now making it as hard as stone. Then i thought of a simple solution, i can just compress my mana to the maximum i am currently capable of, (which is harder than steel) and store it around the bones and other important parts needed to keep the body intact.

If the body was still alive i could have shielded the heart and other important organs. Well i can still create some type of internal armor, a bit like an intern exoskeleton. That will need more work and experimentation thought.

As i am now walking around in my new human body i immediately go to Ester to caress her hairs and cheeks. She's warm and soft to the touch. She slightly squirm as i touch her showing a small smile.

“Hrmhh masterrrz...ZZZzzzzzzzzz” (Ester)

'Huhhuhu what a cute kid.' (Michael)

A few hours later i finalize the take over of the necessaries organs to talk and try my new body's voice.

“Humm hello hello one two testing.” (Michael) I then said surprised at hearing my voice sounding the same as the young boy earlier.

'I can potentially infiltrate places pretending to be someone else guhuhuhuhu*' (Michael) I then thought at the potential of what i had just discovered.

“The future days are going to be quite entertaining. Ghuhuhuhhhhu” (Michael)

I then go back tending to Ester's needs, washing her, feeding her.... While i continue taking over more cells of this body.
