《The Awakened World》Vol. 1, Ch. 3 : Waking Up
Advertisement
"Ughh…"
I wake up in an uncomfortable and unfamiliar bed.
"Hey you, you're finally awake."
Looking up I see my best friend Maddy sitting next to me in what appears to be a hospital.
"What happened," I reply after gathering some stamina.
"The short answer is that you got hit by a meteorite in the head."
"…What?"
"So, you got hit in the head and the elderly couple that lives next to you heard a loud thud so they called the authorities," she explained.
Huh, I'll have to thank those two later.
"After that the police found you knocked out and an ambulance took you here, which I hope your insurance covers."
"It does, thankfully."
"Anyway they found your company I.D. and called them, and then they called me because you put me down as your emergency contact."
"Oh, so wait, how long have I been out?" I asked voiced filled with a touch of worry.
"About a day." To which I receive a casual reply.
She continued, "Don't worry though your boss gave you time off because of the whole hospitalization thing."
At this point the doctor decided to enter the room and he said, "Oh, you're up. So it wasn't a meteorite, but it was actually a piece of the moon."
"Other than that all the tests we done say you're good, so after some rest you can leave. However, the rock seems to be lodged in your body, but your body looks like it is dissolving the rock."
"Ok. I don't know how to feel about most of that."
Six hours later, I leave the hospital with Maddy and she walks me back to my apartment.
"You feel ok, Ally?"
"I feel like I was shot."

"Technically you were, but go get some rest, don't open your window, and know that I am always here for you."
"I know Maddy, we've been together all our lives."
After a moment of silence she hugs me close and then shortly leaves.
Ok, time for bed then.
[ Congratulations! Due to certain actions you are eligible for a species evolution to: Lunares Wolf Beast-human ]

My body started to burn. It was excruciating. It feels like all my insides were being melted apart with acid and are slowly built up again only to melt again.
Over and over and over and over and over again. This process continued throughout the entire night. My hair felt like needles, my bones felt like lava, my skin on fire, and my nerves fried. Through this painful process I noticed my once chestnut hair was becoming bleached and gaining a silvery shine. I then passed out.
…
I woke up again. Checking the time showed it was 9:47 AM. Late for work, or not, I think I don't have to come back til tomorrow. Ugh, Status.

Well, these stats are interesting, with a straight added eight across the board too. After gazing at my changed status, I look in the mirror to see my physical changes. First of all my hair is no longer brown is is more of a silver-chrome color, my eyes also seem to have a tinge of red in their once brown iris, and face is cleaner and thinner. It is almost as if my pores are incapable of holding dirt. Going down I notice that I have grown taller, a lot taller, as I was once 5'5" and I am now 6'. My teeth have sharpened quite a lot and pricking my finger along one of them causes my finger to begin to draw blood. My skin it self seems to be the same as my face and is almost unnaturally clean, and most importantly, my breasts have grown, just a bit though. My tail hair color seems to match my head hair too now.
…How can I show up to work like this!? I don't look anything like my identification! With everything other than my bone structure having changed, I wouldn't be surprised if they turn me away at the gate.
Ugh, I seem to be groaning quite a bit lately but I can just imagine the bureaucratic nightmare this is going to cause.
After coming to terms with my new several changes, I get something to eat, change, and leave my apartment to go to a place I hoped never to visit again, Al-Chem's Intelligent Creature Resources Department.

The Calculator - Supervillainess Time Loop
What makes a terrifying villain? Is it ruthlessness? Is it how powerful they are and how many buildings they can down in one blow? Is it how hard they are to kill, contain, or get rid of in any manner? Is it their knowledge of a hero’s true identity in a world where secrets must be kept? Or is it perhaps how they seem to be perfect in all their actions, defeating the hero at every step of the way throughout to the last one, only to humiliate them one last time before declaring themselves the winner in the grand scheme of things? Isabella Blair is perfect. She knows all your moves before you even make them. All your ambushes are faced with traps and she dodges all your blows like it’s child’s play. Catching her is impossible because she’s always ten steps ahead of you. She says she calculated everything, but she messes up in every fight. She loses far more than she wins, sometimes a hundred times for just one small victory. Yet, she is perfect. How is that possible, you may ask. That’s because she has the uncanny ability to return to the past whenever she makes a mistake. All that’s left in the end can only be what’s perfect if all the realities in which you’ve lost are gone, after all. And that makes for one hell of a terrifying profile. Crossposting on ScribbleHub, SpaceBattles, and Wattpad. Don't mind the "Pre-Rewrite" Volume. It is there for reference until the story catches up to the chapter count via the Rewrite (and to justify the current reviews as there would be no context to them otherwise). If you are a first-time reader, feel free to start from the other Volume.
