Last but not least, Ultrabenosaurus. Thanks for the PR!!!
Btw, do not expect fast releases since I have other fics to maintain as well, but I had to put this one here as well already.
Let's stop beating aroud the bush!
Here is the chapter!
Incarnus PoV
I have grown up a lot in this past week I can now see that I am the largest ferret that was born in this few days. I am bigger than my ‘older brother’ that was born two days before me. There is 6 others adult female ferret in our burrow. They were the mates of my father and the other two males and one of the females is my mother… I had grow bigger than the other kid and as I am too powerful to play with them I normally trying to learn the things all the adults now already. The males are bigger than every female they are nearly 51 cm tall and their teeth and claws looks dangerous… And my father is looking proud to me… probably to be the largest kit in this place made him like that.
It looks like we are domesticated because I had seen a few people leaving living animals to my parents and their ‘business’ to kill it. It’s normally a rabbit or some rats… luckily they don’t suspect that I am a reincarnated person that had been put inside mother’s belly.
(Ultrabenosaurus: "business" is the term for multiple ferrets, like a herd of sheep or a gaggle of geese.)
“Kit, what are you trying to do?” My father appeared near me asking for that. I was trying to walk already, I can’t walk fast and my legs are too weak! I can just give a few steps before going back to the ground.
“Walk.” I answer him. It is not difficult to think that the kits have already started to talk and to ask for food. I wasn’t different. Until yesterday I couldn’t talk more than a few squeaking sounds. And now I am able to use small words before needing to stop. This body is funny, I can sense more smells but I can’t feel my palate was like when I was human, but well… I didn’t made everything go to waste this dead week! I found a skill that I want to buy! But it is so damn costly!
[table=brown]HumanificationCost:50Skill that allows animal to change to a human form retaining some of the characteristics of the animal they originated from. This skill can upgrade looks and duration of the skill.Current look: Very uglyMax duration: 6 hours a day[/table]
But I look forward by the looks of this skill when I upgrade it! And it looks like Screen can talk to me when I think about saying things to it. ‘Screen, can you tell me the day I was born as the current year?’
[table=brown]Yes. You were born on April 1st. Current year is 4509.[/table]
See. It answers pretty quickly too! But the annoying thing is that it is like a robot and it doesn’t have any emotion!!! So talking to it is a little boring… and here I am breaking the 4th wall! YAHAHA!!!

“Son, it is too early! It took me three week to learn how to walk! And I fell more than I can remember.” He said with shining eyes and with a strange face.
“Smell!” “Different!” “Funny!” My three little sisters starts to talk about it again. And I know my smell is funny! It is because I can fart explosive gas from my glands! Ok, jokes aside, I don’t have the normal smell of a ferret because of the flammable gas skill I had chose.
“Bro, stop.” My older brother says that but I don’t wanna! I want to walk already and go out of this damn place! But I need more milk… where is mom?
FINALLY! It had been two weeks and now I can walk! But I fall almost all the time… But father and the others ‘catsnake’, as he call them, are amused to see me walking so early. Well, I still can’t really run away yet because my teeth haven't grown yet and I still need mother to fed me. But today I got to see that we are pets! And we live in a elf village! I was walking near the entrance of our burrow when I saw the people outside leaving some living rabbits and mice. My mouth salivated just thinking about eating them. BUT I DON’T HAVE TEETH! I want to eat again… just drinking milk is strange… and I don’t want to continue drink that.
And I couldn’t level up. So I am level one with a super powered status. Oh and for the first time I could see me. My fur was almost completely murky white but I had some black marking on my head that looked like a crown and in my back that looked like a serpent biting its own tail. Ouroboros… I think this is the name of that thing.
Anyway I continued to look outside until father asked me to leave the entrance so that they could eat their share today. I do what he says and look how they hunt their preys. They worked as a group to catch the rabbit and the mice that have been put inside our place. It was a circular area with a strange looking fence. I was nearly as high as my father and the smell I got was that it was made of wood. But it was living! The fence was living! As expected of the elves, they were good with nature magic and because of it they have created such a nice work.
While I looked outside the business killed the rats and the rabbit by making it unable to run and one of the females had bitten its neck and twisting their bodies making blood fly high in the air. I heard some cheering… probably this kind of thing is a show for the people here? While thinking the adults start to bite the prey and walk back to the burrow. But strangely enough a girl was looking inside the burrow and it looks like she had seen me! I ‘run’ back to the inside leaving space for the catsnakes to enter the place without being scolded by my father.
“Mommy! I have seen it! A small creature was looking outside!” Ah shit… I small girl have seen me!
“You are lucky! Normally the kits hid for a few more weeks until they are old enough to be adopted.” Her mother praise her luck.
“Can I come back to see if he is appearing again?” The girl asks her mother with a happy face.

‘No no no no no no no!!! I know I am cute and all, but NO! I WILL NOT BE A PET!’ I thought to myself… but damnit… stupid body…
I am hungry and need to ‘eat’ again… it is time to drink milk again… can’t wait to be able to eat meat! Father and the others jills look so happy feasting in the meat of their preys.
I am now 1 month old and I am nearly 15 cm! I am bigger than older brother by 2 centimeters! Now I can talk normally, but my voice sounds strange when I use it… it is probably due to need to go through puberty? I am nothing more than a kid.
Well it looks like all the others 10 kits walk normally and it is time to learn how to hunt. Our teeth have appeared and the way the adults had made us ‘play’ with each other to understand where to bite and how to immobilize the prey. I could take two attacking me at the same time. It was a good way to learn how to control my force so that I will not kill my ‘siblings’. Well, sometimes I almost bite or clawed them to death, but I would stop before hitting.
It was one of the time that father found out about it.
“So my kit think he is too powerful and need to restrain himself to not kill the other?” My father looks at me with strange eyes.
“Yeah… Am I sorry?” I ask him, and I know I am stronger than my brothers, and I don’t plan to kill any of them!
“No, you don’t. It is good that you understand your place, so now I am going to be your partner and I’ll give you some points about killing the prey.” His eyes are shining! I gulp down and wait to see my father coming to me. But he was faster than I had expected! In a blink of an eye he had appeared before me. Without thinking I use Roll to run away and to get a little bit of time to think.
I look at his eyes and find that they are shining… ‘FUCK! Now he will want to spar more and more!’ I jump away again and start to run away from him using my top speed. I has faster then my siblings but not as him. It looks like his level is really higher than my own.
“Good! I can see that it was correct to leave you alive!” My father says that with a happy face but his eyes are a little scary! ‘He-he said he wanted to kill me?!’ “You were too big to be my son… But what I saw in you was that you were mine… I can't explain it so I let you live.”
Gods! I thought he was regretting! And he is accompanying my top speed without breaking a sweat!
I roll underneath him activating my claw skill. It wasn't that long but with the shining color it have I could slice things in half easily. But the old fart just farted! Literally! The smell entered my nose and made my eyes water.
“Don't use it inside our burrow!” One of the females says to my father.
“Sorry! He has startled me! It wasn't my fault!” He answers her without taking his eyes of me.
Without waiting for him to finish his talking an idea pops up. I run and appear beside my father while I use the roll while I release the inflammable gas skill followed by the tiger claws making sparks setting it ablaze. The sudden appearance of a fire wheel startle my father and it make him use his fart again, but my fire just burned it making a hissing sound. I continued using the roll skill since it didn’t consumed much mana and stamina. Squeaks sound could be heard all over the burrow while I was laughing.
“Father! Why are you running?! I thought you wanted to play with me!” I say to him and I continue using roll after roll following the ferret before me. And I have started to laugh when I got to see his face.
“Stop using that! Fire is scary!” He is running away from one of his kits!!! I start to laugh louder.
“Yahahahahaha! It is not! This is not even hot!” I say to him trying to make him stop but with no results. And it is hot like hell!!! But I am not getting damaged and my mana is almost running dry! I stop using my skills after 3 minutes of the tag game. My mana was almost completely drained. And I was breathing harder. But father wasn’t worse. His eyes were big, fur are all erect and breathing heavily as well. The fire had startled everyone here.
[table=brown]You received a tittle!Pyromaniac
You laugh when you set things ablaze!
Intelligence +5 Wisdom +5[/table]
[table=brown]You created a combo!When setting ablaze your Inflammable Gas with your Tiger Claws while using Roll to evade the damage you created a combo. It is now named Flame Wheel and it is added in your skill window. It can be upgraded to last longer and to use less mana.
Agility +10[/table]
I dismiss I windows with a thought. I had already understand everything I won after receiving the notifications.
“Let’s stop here… The way you scared me made me think that I can really be surprised by things like this…” He says that but he didn’t drop his guard. I nod to him, but I didn’t drop my guard either. ‘Not yet… This old fart is a cunning bastard.’ I thought to myself.
I have been seeing him fight all this time and after understanding how he fights against the rabbits and mices I had found out that he pretend to not care about something just to act in a lighting speed.
“You’re not funny!” He pouts to me and sits on the floor.
“Darling, you said this fight ended…” The females talk to him and her eyes are scary!!
‘SCARY!!! Their cold eyes are burning!’ I thought while dropping my guard and running away from them. I had started to excavate a hole to myself here. It was a little better there and my father can’t enter! But when I arrive I find all the other kits hiding inside it… I shake my head and enters the place with them. I made it bigger because my sisters sometimes wanted to sleep here… I think they got accustomed to sleep beside me.
I am four months old and I am now bigger than my father! I am nearly 60cm tall! And I have been able to participate in a few hunts with the adults and the girl that wanted to be my owner was cheering every single hunt I have done. I wasn’t using any of my skills since they were too flashy to use now and they would try to kill me or sell me faster than the others.
(Ultrabenosaurus: is this little girl daughter of a powerful kingdom's princess that married a hero, and MC will corrupt her and plant the idea of world domination in her head…?)
So I just stuck with my own speed matching my siblings when we are fighting to eat the rabbits and rats the people would put inside the ‘cage’ and now that I could see it perfectly it was bigger than what I had thought. It was funny to see the blood splash all over the place when I bite the neck of the preys. The mice died squeaking and the rabbit would try to jump away.
I had leveled up a little in the fights. It was explained that I would gain a few points every level up. 5 points until lvl 10 and after that level I would receive one more point at level 11 so I would gain 6. In 10 in 10 levels I would gain one more point to spend in my skills and in my stats! Well the point thing is because it get harder and harder to level up.

This are my skill and status list… and yes… I’M NOT USING THE SKILL POINTS! I WANT TO BUY HUMANIFICATION! But before that I should run away… the girl is getting impatient and now that we can hunt our own food we can be sold! So let’s buy this skill and run away!
[table=brown]Demon WingsCost: 25[tr]Bat like wings that make the user of a Demon Body the ability to fly at high speed. This skill can be upgraded to increase the speed of flight .
Current speed: 10km/h[tr][/table]
Yeah it looks strange as the speed is so low… but a human can normally walk at 5 or 7 km/h but you need to gather data about the terrain as well. While flying I can ignore the terrain and just fly like a bird in the sky! Wait… like a bat-ferret! I need to make a batman costume… so that way I can be a batferret! Jokes aside, I buy the skill and I see all the points I had accumulated until today disappearing with a single thing… but it will worth it! And I upgrade the skill one time making my flying speed to a scary 20 km/h!!! Yeah, yeah, nothing that great when we had cars that would run at 100 km/h without the need to stop or things like that! But I will be using my own wings! It is one of my dreams to be able to fly like a bird, I think in this case will be a bat…
I would executed my plan this night. I will get up during the night and I will run away from this place using the darkness as a cover because in few more weeks I will a full adult catsnake and will be sold to someone that will pay a high price for me… and it looks like the mom of that kid that will come to see me in every hunt I did is planning to buy me to her daughter… and a pet’s life don’t looks good to me! I know that she would do anything to make me happy but.. I want to travel! I want to be free! I want to be free! ‘And I needed to remember this music now?!’
I almost started to sing that music… I miss my music collection… I had some awesome musics in my pc… ‘WAIT!!! MY COMPUTER! OH SHIT! THE BOOKS I DON’T GOT TO READ! THE MOVIES I DON’T GET TO WATCH! AND THE GAMES I DIDN’T GET TO PLAY!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!’ I almost shouted that thing inside the burrow. But I need to get out of here.
(Ultrabenosaurus: all the porn his parents will find…)
I was midnight and I have awaked up a few minutes ago. I was listening to my siblings breaths to find if someone was awake but it was clean! No one of them was awake! So I get up and walks to the entrance just to find my mother waiting for me! How the hell she knew I was going out I don’t know! Probably it is an instinct?
“Mother, I’m going. And I think I will not come back, I don’t want to live as a pet… I want to see the world-” I started talking to her but she stopped me.
“I already knew it. Since I get pregnant with you and your sister I knew that you would be destined to leave the nest… but I thought you would be bigger… and now you’re almost an adult… but you are too young! And I bless your way. Have a good travel. My small demon.” My mother says and walks closer to me she than come and kiss my cheek… ‘Wait? She knows that I have a demon body?’
“You knew it already?” I ask doubting my own thoughts.
“Yes. Since I had felt you four there I discovered that I had one that was different… but what can I say… he was very caring with his family.” Mother smiles to me and I understood that she haven’t told the other about my demon body.
I am feeling my heart being heavy… I want to stay here now… ‘FUCK, woman really have goddess power!’
“Have a good travel and may the God Wreguil guide your way.” She said that to me while hitting her paw in my back.
(Ultrabenosaurus: "wreguil" *giggle* "wriggle" *snicker*)
“Ciao ciao mother!” I say my goodbye to her and running through the area I lived in I jump while spreading my wings going high and high. Traveling to a strange place. If I stayed a little more I would probably have stayed and would be a pet at this time tomorrow.
Mother PoV
“Stop crying! If he had seen your face like that he would kick you in the moon!” The stupid father of that kid had been hiding himself since the start...
“But-but! I thought he would be the one that was going to succeed me!” He says with a high pitched voice.
“You really are a crybaby… What will happen if the kits awake and sees that their powerful father is crying because one of his sons were ‘taken’ away? And he is not dead!” One of the females appeared after my son have left.
“I know that! But-” And he is going to give a small excuse...
“Stop it now! Or we are not going to let you play with us during the mating season!” Another female appeared at the end of the burrow.
“Ok, I will be a powerful father and let him go!” A ‘powerful’ light was shining in his eyes. ‘He is really simple…’
That night he cried a little but after being pushed by the females here he had come back to be the alpha male of this business.
