Wandering around in the dark with my enhanced cat eyes and my hearing 200% more than that of a normal human I stalk the streets looking for criminals that I can justify killing and eating. Or more importantly, people that the authority won't care about if they go missing. After going to the place where I met the last group from the wolf gang and start to wander around for a bit. Eventually, I find a group of 5 people. Smiling a wolfish grin [no pun intended] I walk up to them and say the password “ 5 is my favorite letter.”

They look at me for a bit before you reply with “Mine is square.” “Excellent, Now do any of you happen to know what a pun is?”

"A what?" one of them asks in confusion.

"Shame."

Although they can't see it my smile grows as I launch my self like an arrow released from a bow. Bring out my claws I stab them into the closest person’s heart, with him dead I take control of part of his body and form parts of his back into bone as I explode his lungs. The bone shrapnel rips into two other thugs, killing one of them. Letting the exploded corpse fall to the floor I jump up while sending a tether made from hair to the back of the group and pull myself towards it.

Reabsorbing the hair tether upon impact, I slash at the thug who was about to try and run away. My claws leave four long gashes along his chest as I control his cells to detach from themselves, making large clumps of flesh fall from his torso. The thug collapses in pain and shock as he bleeds to death; I spray the unharmed thug with urine as he runs past [I will follow the sent back to their hideout later, I don't have a urine fetish, honest.] I put the two harmed thugs out of their misery and start to eat their bodies while looting them.

Between them all, they have 4S, 78C, 2 knives a small ax and a short sword. I take the money and knife then break the ax and sword into small pieces. To do this I turn fluffy into a hammer and balancing the weapons so they are leaning against a house and hitting them with fluffy. Once the weapons were broken into small enough pieces I absorb them and incorporate the metal into my body's cells making them stronger and harder.

Once I was finished playing with corpses I enhance my sense of smell to 600% of a normal human while reducing the rest of my senses as to not overload my brain [Although that could be good for training later]. With my altered senses, I begin to hunt down the lone survivor hoping he will bring me back to an all I can eat buffet ‘cough’ I mean hideout. After many twists and turns [suppose he did not want me to follow him.] I arrive at a cluster of houses with their walls touching.

"This is where the smell stops" I mumble. [It's probably just one big building disguised as lots of small houses. now how to deal with them? I can’t just lock the doors and burn it down; all of the bodies and loot would be gone. But I don't want to fight them in there, they could have traps to stop trespassers, also all their weapons are probably in there. What to do, what to do, oh that could work.]

It takes me two hours to set up my trap. When I am done I Walk up to the door of the hideout I knock on it as I pick the lock. Kicking open the door and acting like a cocky bastard I yell “Hey you little shit I come to finish the job, I will make you cry like...Ah I did not think there would be this many of you, so ah never mind I will be going now have a good night, sleep tight and all that.”

As I look into the room I see 20 very angry looking people glaring at me as they grab their weapons and run at me “The fuck did you just say to us you prick!?”

"Well you deaf piece of shit I said 'Hey you little shit I come to finish the job, I will make you cry like...Ah I did not think there would be this many of you, so ah never mind I will be going now have a good night, sleep tight and all that.' are you deaf or have you had so many dicks put into your ears you can't hear with all the cum?" I reply with a smirk

I stand at the door blocking them until all the people in the room made from the connected houses are trying to get past each other to kill me [Haha don’t you love it when it goes according to plan?] with all the thugs trying to kill me, I run out into the street and look behind me to make sure they are all following.

Once I reach the end of the street I cut a very out of place rope made from hair. Turning around I see a hair rope net fall onto the thugs where it catches on pre-placed bone hooks that are embedded into the ground. Once the net is caught and the thugs tangled I quickly start killing them with fluffy with its new form, a large Aragorn Hunting knife.

After the thugs are all dead I eat until I am full which was about 4 bodies, so counting the ones from earlier tonight it takes me about 8 adults sized human body’s to fill me up. I absorb 10 bodies after that and fluffy takes the other 6. With all the bodies taken care of, I reabsorb the hairnet and bone hooks. [That was disappointingly boring, would it kill them to be better at not dying?]

Feeling stronger than ever I go into the building looking of the guy I followed in the first place and loot. “Move out of the fucking way you piece of shit” the yell was the only warning I got before the guy is was looking for came hurtling through a door and in the room I was standing in [looks like he was blocking the way for the local boss man]

“Hi there” I say giving a wave at the man now stepping through the hole he made, “I will not talk to someone I am about to kill” He growls as he picks up a hammer a meter in length and runs at me.

"Well, that's just rude and frankly over presumptuous." [The fuck did that word come from?]

Deciding to fight head-on with the man to better envelop the new muscle and bone mass, into my body, and determine my new strength after absorbing 10 new bodies. I go to the balls of my feet, left foot first and swing a right hook at the incoming hammer. With a resounding crack, our blows meet, fracturing some of my bones while pushing ‘hammerman’ back a few steps. With a look of confusion and anger, he shouts as an aura starts to leak out of him [oh so this is an aura, is that why he is so strong?], with another shout, he charges at me again.

By the time he is coming at me again my bones are long since healed and I swing again at the incoming hammer. He only takes half a step back this time and is able to follow through with his attack. Meanwhile, most of the bones in my hand fractured but they are quick to heal, as the new cells in my body are slowly becoming part of it.

We trade blows, each of us trying to overpower the other with brute force. I could have ended this sooner as his blows are slow and predictable, but I wanted the training and to see what aura could do. With each punch, my blows become stronger as the new cells are incorporated into my body. By the time all the cell are fully incorporated, I could have overpowered the man with raw strength. By the 17th blow, all the cells were done and I was growing bored again.

Stepping passed his hammer I give a jab to the abdomen and an uppercut to his chin in quick succession. With the man dazed and doubled over I pick up his hammer and throw it across the room while sending a tentacle into his spine with a wave of pain. Howling in pain he falls to the floor where he starts to twitch.

“Now I am going to ask you some questions ok? I will know if you lie and I will punish you with more pain but if you tell the truth, I will send a wave of pleasure. Do you understand?”

“Fuck you” he spits.

“I am flattered by your proposition, but I am not really into men, especially one that is a two-bit thug” I respond while sending another, more intense wave of pain. “Now the questions. First, what do you know about the higher-ups in the three gangs, like what are their powers and how strong are they? Next, I want you to tell me about aura.”

“Go fuck your ahhhhhhhh!”

“I can do this all day hammer man” I continuously send pain for a whole 2 minutes before giving him a chance to speak again. “Ok, ok I will talk damn it. I am Dan the third strongest of the wolves, the second is Tyler. He can move small parts of the fire. As far as I know, he can't produce it or increase the temperature, he can only move small bits around. He likes to use his power mainly for intimidation and fights using fireballs.

The leader of the wolves is Max. He can control dogs, he collects all the strays and adds them to his ‘pack’, Max doesn't fight himself, he just sends his dogs. As for the other gangs they are weak. We only let them survive so it looks like we don't have all the power in the slums, as that would bring the guards after us.

As for my aura, I got it when I was 14. It makes my body stronger and faster but I don't know how it works or how to train it. It would just get stronger sometimes."

He lets out a long sigh before his face hardens. "I don't know anything else so I suppose you are going to kill me? Then I have a last request, let me die fighting.”

“Thank you for your cooperation, Dan, I will grant your request but I will not hold back this time. I will give you 5 minutes to recover, but if you try to run, well I am sure you know already.”

“I... I understand” I leave him to pick up his hammer and do some stretches for 5 minutes. Once the time was up we stood at opposite ends of the room facing each other, before he brings out his aura as he rushes at me. As before I take the hammer, head-on with a punch but his time I don't hold back and he stumbles back I step past his guard and send all my strength into an uppercut, which snaps his neck. His limp body falls to the ground before I absorb him. His body is stronger the others I have absorbed and gives me more strength than any other singular corpse has. All that is left is to incorporate the cells into my body and loot.

Looting all the body's I find 31S, 83C and a lot of weapons. I trade out all of my knives for better quality ones then break all the weapons so I can absorb some of them, my body can't absorb that much metal, and leave the rest unusable for someone who could harm me in the future. Adding all the money together I Now have 46S and 51C.

With all the loot and bodies dealt with I go back to the area in the slums to do my exercises. Once I am there I do my physical and mental workout until all the new cells from the ‘hammerman’ are fully under my control. I then changed all my senses to double that of a normal human while changing my eyes back. After the workout, I decided to take a well-deserved nap until morning.
