Leave Part 2
What the hell?
My body, it changed?
My tail grew longer, and I seem to have more control over it.
My scales became much harder, like some sort of natural armor.
Well, at least I don’t need armor anymore.
I also grew bigger.
Much bigger.
Swimming in the river is impossible now, I guess.
Thankfully, I can still wield my current weapons, but I probably grew a lot stronger as well, so I’m really afraid I will break it in one swing.
At least I grew claws now.
My teeth also became a lot larger.
Extra weapons, check.
Hm? I sense a presence.
I turned around to find 3 more zombies approaching me.
Hehehe, perfect. I found a good way to test my new weapons.
I removed my bags and gear, and crouched on all fours.
I launched myself onto the nearest zombie, mercilessly separating its skull from the rest of its body with one powerful bite.
The other two zombies did a coordinated attack while I was gloating, but my thick scales protected me from their assault.
The blades also snapped of its hilt when they striked.
Turning around to face them, I growled menacingly.
-Killing Instinct has been activated.-
What the-? I feel a surge of power flowing through me.
The urge to kill… I can’t stop it...
KILL, BREAK, DESTROY
…
What… what happened?
I couldn’t control my body, and blacked out.
I got up and looked at my surroundings.
A scene of carnage was shown before me.
…
Did I do this..?
All the zombies in the vicinity were wiped out.
By me.
...Seriously, what am I?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2 days before reaching the Forest-
I’ve finally reached the end of the river.
Yesterday, I’ve managed to stitched together a rough leather bag using the rags from the zombies.

The feeling from that day, I still haven’t shaken it off.
It honestly scares me, but I need to overcome it.
Somehow…
At the river’s end, I found a rough path a few feet away. Seeing that I have no where else to go, I trudged on along the path.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn it, why is this jungle so thick?
This quest was suppose to be easy, but now I’m lost.
I should have bought a map…
But it probably won’t be of much help here, huh?
…
My name is Alexia Fetora.
I’m a hunter in a village called Desca.
Born from a poor family as the eldest, I was given the responsibility to take care of my siblings.
Why, you ask? That’s because my parents are dead.
My father was deep in debts and ran away from home, only to be caught and killed by the debtors.
My mother could not handle the huge burden and committed suicide.
Enough about my background for now.
Currently, I’m on a quest to gather herbs for the local pharmacist.
The problem is the herb I’m suppose to gather is called Vikshaw, also known as the Light Flower.
It is known to be found in the depths of the nearby jungle, surrounding a large lake.
As it only blooms for one month a year, its commonly in high demand.
I needed to pay off my father’s debt and look after my siblings, so I took this high paying job.
I expected this to be a breeze.
Man, I was wrong.
That day, my fateful encounter with that monster changed my life forever.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Arrival at the Forest-
The forest.
I’ve finally made it somehow.
My quest for meat is finally coming to a close.
Now I just need to find it…
But first, I need a base camp.
Advertisement
...The problem is I blindly entered the forest, so I’ve gotten lost.
Hm? I see a light in the distance.
I took out a dagger and cut through the thick brush in front of me and pushed through.
Woah…
In front of me, there is a huge lake surrounding with flowers glowing in the dark.
That settles it. This shall be my new base.
I walked over to a large tree and dumped my luggage.
I was craving for fresh meat, but I settled down to figure out the best place to gather a large amount all at once.
The lake…
Fishing!
I can fish for meat.
Seafood… I had always loved seafood…
Without hesitation I ran and dived into the water.
SPLASH
Oh god, its paradise!
Fish, fish swimming everywhere!
I swam and devoured any fish that swam past me.
BURP
Man, that was good!
I floated along the surface of the water and fell asleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hm? Am I dreaming?
Everything seems so blurry.
My body feels light…
Ugh! My head…
No… I don’t want to remember…
Ugh...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My name is ______.
I have just died.
What did I do to deserve this?
I just wanted to save her…
That damn traitor, I need to tell the others.
...But what I want most is to live again.
I will change the way I live…
Just let me live… again…
I’m… blacking out…
No…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“No!”
I gasped for breath as I tried to regain my senses.
Eh? I feel a presence.
I turned around.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
What the hell?
Who is she?

Overseer
From the nothingness I appeared. Bodiless, voiceless, ageless, I have only thoughts and emotions to guide me. My one connection to the world lies in the hearts of a small colony of lizards, just on the cusp of maturing. I reach out to them without hands, inspiring them to be more than what they are, shaping their bodies from visions of lost memories. But where do the memories come from? I am always left with more questions than answers. In my lonely shapeless existence the lizards cannot hear my words, and they cannot feel my touch, and I must wonder, do I even really exist? --- Called emotional, abstract, and beautiful by readers, this story is an observational account of a disembodied entity that has the power to influence and change a race of mildly intelligent lizard creatures. Memories of a previous life often serve as inspiration, but also generate questions as to whom the entity might have been before it became an Overseer. (presented in short chapters) (Thank you readers for getting my story into the top 5 ;u; ~
