As I continued into the dungeon the path slowly declined and the heat rose steadily. The heat almost became unbearable when I found the next area. It was huge compared to the others even having stalagmites holding it up. The wild life at a simple glance consisted of slimes and coyotes. When I started to explore the terrain was rough with trenches and bones scattered everywhere. The trenches almost seemed like they used to be rivers but the dark rock at bottom would mean it got hot, very hot. I continued along, snacking on slimes for a while but I eventually stepped on some bones of a wolf. I felt movement under me and I jumped off of it, breaking some with the leap. It formed a partly made bone wolf with ribs missing and chunks from the skill breaking off. I went for a fast kill knocking the skull off and sending more bits of it flying. The body fell apart into a pile of bones again. Thinking it was dead I snacked on the bones. To my surprise it was filled with slime. The parts where the joints would be had holes in it making an area to drink out of. After a while of snacking I looked at the skull which was still moving. Looking inside I found a large crystal with a little bit of slime. I threw the crystal out and ate what I could.

"System error found, exp will be given accordingly."

A bunch of different menus came up all overlapping each other. I organized it and went right to left.

[Bone slime : the slime has learned how to control basic appendages and started construction of a better nervous system. The extra crunch from the bones makes the texture different.]

[Gluttony prok : ]

The evolution menu was a bit more complicated allowing for many different paths. I looked over and found a few I liked. Lesser Copy mimic, allows the user to replicate body parts easier. Lesser Golem mimic, your body is easier to adjust and change. Lesser mind mimic, makes it easier to control minds. I decided to go with the copy mimic, it seems like the best route for me to travel since I'm already going down that path in skills. I hit confirm and a warning popped up.

[Your body will go through a short metamorphosis phase. Make sure you're in a safe area.]

I looked around and found a small area on top of a stalagmite got comfy and hit conform. then It went dark for a while. It felt weird to be without senses again but relaxing knowing it wasn't the end. I also felt a strong pull to go deeper as if I would find somebody.

It's still hot but feels more bearable and my body feels different. I look over my body but finding nothing new or different I climb down the stalagmite. The heat is still a lot but for now I ignore it and look at my stats. It didn't change much, just a few points in each area.

Next I wanted to find out why my body felt different. It took a while of looking before I noticed it was my summoned parts. The amount of feeling in them increased. I wanted to experiment and got it to change shape, not just size. It did have limitations like the more I changed it the higher the mana cost. With that part done I went back to exploring.

There were a lot of bones, some slimes and some just bones. It took a long time to find something that I could catch and wasn't slime. Scorpion I heard somebody put them in candy but this one seems too big for that being the size of a cat.

It seemed weird with it's movements. I didn't give it a second thought though, making it a meal. The taste is similar to beef jerky but still different although the end of the tail tasted bitter.

When I finished it felt like something was watching me but looking around nothing was. What made it worse is I wasn't feeling well. I'll close my eyes for a little bit, at least until I feel a little better.
