"Cassitie… You gotta catch 'em all. But never let them bite…"
Her mother told her lovingly when she was still a little girl. She had been young and took her parent's words to heart, as she began 'collecting' pets. From middle to high school, she had made men bow to her knees and plea for sex. But never gave them any and instead made them fight each other.
She called it: The fuckboy tournament.
The winner was told they were N1 in her list and would have more attention from her. What she never understood was that they never did leave her after that. (Looks like they truly didn't try to bite if you educated them well.) She tought at the time.
Boys had been her favorite game until that fateful day
3/8/3010 One night her parents had told her to bring the men she collected to the house. She did so happily...and there her parents would put them in a waiting room and gas them. Then they would be taken by mysterious men, never be seen again.
Her stupid ass tought they were just taking them to another country to be spies and stuff. It wasn't until her 19th birthday that she decided to follow the mysterious men. She could still remember some of it. It all happened in an old warehouse, where she found out they took them to a laboratory under the ground and experimented on them.
When they were done with them the doctors would kill them.
She took a huge pool of money out of their dad's account and quickly fled home with her sister in tow. Luckily, they had taken enough wealth to get accepted to the first district and quickly rose to fame.
Both studied medicine as her sister came of age. It had been hard but both had passed the national exam and became world-class doctors.
In the events that transpired, she promised to never have a pet again in the memory of her lovers...but...she loved the direct personality of this guy and let him make it into her pet list.
She caressed his back, letting her forehead rest on his. The body of the man had begun to loosen up. "Twath io dmmm aswhom," the man talked and looked like a noodle, and she liked it.
"Hahahhaha."
Her hand touched his cheek but failed to notice his cheek muscles were clenched. She didn't have time to wonder why before the man exploded with strength, and she was sent flying. She could feel the metal bend, as her body hit the wall
She lost consciousness as she heard a faint inhuman screech.
"AARRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!"
------------
(Let me out. Let me out!)
[Int:+5 Dex:+5]
From inside the man's psyche a horrible thing awakened. It had hungered for the flesh of men since its birth and this new god had given it life; approving of its existence and its purpose.
(God! Show me stats!)
It looked at what appeared to be a stats page.
[The Black Sighgon.]
Reg:230
Vit:88
Str:180
Int:765
Wis:657
Dex:77
It understood the numbers. It understood the wisdom of men and their dead. It understood an unavoidable law of the universe: kill or be killed.
[Str:+5 Dex:+5]
It had bid its time. Its release had just been a matter of time. If they had done the customs, maybe it would have been suppressed to his host's unconscious, and it would have made his host insane until he had children. But the host didn't know what his family was.
Advertisement
[Ren+5 Dex:+5]
The idiot had abandoned them.
The host didn't know that his family was a sore thumb even among the world's elite. Their actions throughout history had caused the homicide of millions of innocents. They had incited the invasion of the Union Of Heroes. They had caused the downfall of the criminal organization of Bargast. They had sacrificed whole countries to rituals and ruled the world for half a century.
[Str:+5 Dex:+5]
All that had happened after that, had killed his legacy till there was but a few hundred.
It was the culmination of all humanity. It was the true God, it was the Reaper and it had seen the ingression of this fake god. It had seen the strength and how it seeped into him.
[Ren:+5 Int:+5 Dex:+5]
This god had altered his host, but it was not enough. He wanted his host to die and let him free. He could feel the connection of body and mind within reach but it couldn't grasp it.
[Str:+5 Dex:+5]
It had been forcefully sent to sleep but now it would rule the world!
It was in a van.
It saw the body of the woman named Cass on the floor and saw the woman's sister protecting her. "Please, please don't kill my sister!" The sister screamed and sobbed and curled on the ground. How pathetic! Where was the affection? Where was the love they had shown his host? Truly, human things were all the same.
[Vit: +3]
He could remember it all! He could feel the whispers of the innocents push it forward.
[Str:+5 Dex:+5]
Its voice came out rusty and dead. "Hahahahaha. I won't kill you…" It stopped for the delicious dramatic effect.
"I will eat you and skin you alive!" The eyes of the girl opened wide in horror. It opened its palm wide like a claw. Her throat was tender for the taking but all his hunger immediately faded into nothing. It tried again but he felt nothing.
[Vit:+3 Dex:+5]
"...So that thing is still with me." It realized as it could feel an emptiness spread all over itself.
"Well, It's not like I need hunger to kill." It raised its claws again and suddenly its legs tensed. He felt a tremor run down his spine and a force that propelled the host's legs on their own; shooting it out of the van's door like a rocket.
[Str:+5 Wis:+7]
It blasted through the building next to the van. Rain, rock and debris tried to stop him but their efforts left molten rock in its wake. Only did its body stop when it punctured through the roof of the building.
It floated there. "Interesting." It said.
Quick to action, Its body erupted with great ability and its legs blurred along the roof of buildings. He left streaks of fire as his body circumvented the roofs and windows of the buildings in search of the most efficient travel.
[Dex:+5]
"Like if you could control me! This body is mine now!" It roared as it tried to control the body but unexpectedly, it met no resistance.
Nothing was controlling this body.
[Int:+4 Ren:+5]
Its form reached for the skyscraper in the distance and jumped up the skyscraper's plates of solid metal; slippery because of the rain. He heaved and puffed, as his body pushed itself to the limit to reach the structure's peak. The metal creaked in horror as his claws ripped long gashes on its frame.

It took a bit of time but his claws managed to push him to the very peak of the skyscraper.
"I don't know what your plan is but it's not goi-" It gave a tiger-like jump into the sky, far above the peak of the skyscraper.
[Vit:+3 Dex:+5]
As he reached the highest its body could go, the air and water particles in the air stiffened and he was shifted to position. His head was facing the skyscraper like if he was mid fall
(It understood what his body was doing: It was trying to kill him!)
[Str:+5]
"MOTHER FUCKER!iI SWEAR! I'M GOING TO FIND WHERE YOU ARE HIDING, COWARD...AND I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREDS!"
[Dex+6]
With a monstrous kick, its body broke the speed of sound. It smashed itself into the skyscrapers form like a meteor.
[Vit:+3]
It's host's body smashed through millions of floors, and even with its stats the floors of the building broke its bones and cut deeply into its body. At the end of the tunnel of molten metal, It could barely move.
[Ren+5]
"A MONSTER!!!" It heard the weak voice of an old man.
[Wis:+6]
It would skin this man and eat his insides!
It used its last reserves of strength and tried to crawl towards the man, pleading for help. He knew mankind was full of idiots. He had watched how the men he inhabited would kill their prey using the oldest trick in the book.
Unlocked: [bound]
It raised its head. "Help m-" a boot hit it square in the face. It tried to release the accumulated electricity in its body in retaliation, but lost connection to the body. It watched with a silent rage as the boot hit its host in the face again.
---------------------
It had been quite the dandy day when she had seen the monster in all his glory. He had sta in the cornered and devoured his own flesh like a true Empaneshqa. She had joined this group of idiots ro find the guiding light of Empaneshqa and worship for the final day the god that gave her streght.
(System. Show me Empaneshqa.)
[ (12 circle) The visage of Empaneshqa: drive your opponets mad before the glory of Empaneshqa. Ability efficiency goes up with circles.]
But what a great day for her.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,"
"What?!" She screamed.
"I want cupcakes."
Ren said and she stared at him with tight lips and then looked around the dirty group walking with them.
"Does it look like we give a fuck?!" The fat man beside her said, as he bumped into Ren.
"Move it up, people! We don't have all day." Their "leader" said as he searched around for a place to stay.
They were in the middle of a destroyed street. The stores had broken windows. The houses in between where completely turned upside down. Lotters had already passed through here. She could see the signs. No, literary. She could be sign already graffitied with names and quotes and all that gangsta stuff.
"Do you even know where we are going?" She asked the leader. The man who had stricken fear into their hearts didn't even look at her. "No." He said. "We are staying close to the last place that the creature was spotted. Don't be stupid."
He approached a store being robbed by a few people. He took out his gun,"GET AWAY MOTAFOKERS!!" And pointed his gun at the lotters. The folks scrambled away, and he casually entered through the hole in the panel glass.
"Hurry up and grab everything." Everyone moved to their positions. "Anyone else who is here?" He asked. He pointed to the door and the broken glass. "Guard them." He flicked his gun at the door and his little group took their respective spots. Waiting for someone to be dumb enough and try to get out of the store.
"Get the fuck out of your hiding place or I will fucking put your head on a spike when I find you! You have this chance only...waste it...and I will start slicing them heads off!" All of them knew what happened to those that tried to disobey the guy or usurp him. They had the heads in a bag for new comers.
They were ready to rush into the store and kill anyone inside until a small hand poked out of one of the shelves. "Ther-re is anothee-eer kid. He was bitt-tten by an animal and is in the o-only employee's room, please he-help him." A shaking little girl came from around one of the shelves in the small store. She put her hands behind her head and laid herself face to the ground.
"Do we help her up?" She asked the leader. "Do what I already told you to do." Their leader walked around the shelves and began stashing the food inside his backpack. She shook her head but still walked towards the girl on the floor and hit her head with the pipe. The girl didn't even scream, as she was instantly knocked unconscious.
"She is human alright." She said and quickly went to the aid of the little girl. He didn't even respond, as he clicked his fingers. The others began walking around the store while Ren went into the employee's room.
A few minutes passed and they had fully stashed their backpacks full. She looked back at the door of the employees and couldn't help but ask. "What is he still doing there?" The other looked at the door too.
"I think we have an alien on our hands." The strongest in the group said as he approached the door slowly. "Be careful Sergie. Aliens can be invisible." A man in the group said as Sergie opened the door and entered with his metal stick raised. She wanted to look too, but she didn't even get near enough before the man screamed, "HE IS FUCKING GONE!"
Their leader put his gun back on its little pouch. "Where are they fucks?"
"They made a hole in the ceiling!" The leader and the man ran outside and began climbing the building. Silently she and their subordinates followed with girl in hand.
----------
"Don't worry kid. You will be safe with me." Ren assured the bleeding boy, as he climbed a wooden fence with the boy in hand. His strength had recently reached 13 points and his dexterity 16 He knew few of his fellow cruel fucks would not be able to follow him easily.
"You have to help her. She is my only friend." The boy mumbled, as he tried to stay conscious. "Don't worry kid. I have friends in high places. We made a little refuge in a skyscraper near here. They should be waiting for me."
He kept running towards the skyscraper in the distance in hopes someone there had a healing ability. He turned around a corner and climbed a pile of crumpled boxes blocking the alley,
He looked back at the skyscraper in the distance and barely missed a strange smudge rising along its side. "Something is climbing the skyscraper…?" he whispered in horror, as he hurried to warn his friends.
A few seconds later he had to stop and cover his eyes. The bloch had turned into a blinding light that suddenly illuminated the whole city and burned his eyes. "Shit. Shit. Shit!" He screamed and tried to lower the boy on the floor to rub his eyes. He didn't have the chance to lower the boy, as he was shaken off his feet by an intense earthquake
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
(But what in the fuck?) He began running as fast as he could with the boy in hand.
----------
He reached the scraper and rushed inside. "GUYS ARE YOU ALRIGHT!" He shouted.
The place was slightly dark. Reinforced glass was the main material used here. It covered everything but the floor and the stairs leading to the second floor, alongside the ceiling of the second floor. Rocks fell down a huge hole in the middle of the floor .
"Over here!" An old man with a bandaged leg limped over. Up the stairs, first door! Your brother is waiting for you! The old man looked at the kid. "Leave him with me! I will heal his injuries!"
"What happened here? He asked. The man shook his head and pointed at his ears. (Oh, he is deaf.) He bowed to the old man and hurried up one of the staircases leading to a series of rooms.
He opened the door to find his brother standing over the form of...THE MONSTER! "Get away from that thing big brother!" His brother didn't look at him. "Brother?" (Had the monster eaten his brain?) He approached slowly and softly touched his brother's shoulder. In a second his brother had produced a shield that hit him in the stomach.
"Brother it is me."
His brother looked at him. Black elegant eyes adorned with rugged looks, with ruffled hair and dressed in a ripped tuxedo. "Brother!" The man screamed, "Brother what are you doing with that monster?"
His brother pointed at his ears. "Oh, right." His brother and the old man had gone deaf in the explosion. He pointed at the monster and then crossed his arms repeatedly. His brother looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Everyone! Shut up! There are people here!" The old man screamed as he entered the door and put a finger over his mouth. (How would this old man know? He was deaf.)
He looked at the old man and gave him a thumbs up and sat there in silence. He looked at the monster. His brother made a kicking motion with his leg and pointed at the sleeping monster.
(Ah, he had kicked the thing! Nice job bro.)
They waited until something punched their door. "HURRY UP! HURRY UP! WE HAVE TO FIND THAT MONSTER!" He held his knife at his side and motioned at the door and then made a throat cut motion. They understood and sneaked at the side of the door.
The door was smashed again and it began to crack. With another crunch, the door exploded into pieces.
