chapter 2

It's been three days now in the mountains and I have only possessed one thing. I was able to accomplish so much because of this host. I've found an empty cave where I can stay, I have not quite found out how to create fire but I don't really need it. The thing that I have possessed is a slime.

With this slime I realized I could take the shape of the things I devour. So far I've devoured rocks, wood, animals, low level monsters and even some mid level monsters! I've also learned that you could store things within this body too! Just like that one anime where a dude gets reincarnated as a slime!

Though I haven't found a dead body yet, I'm still looking around for one. It's unlikely that I could possess anyone here since I'm literally in the middle of a gigantic forest. It's not too bad living here since life is peaceful and I can move along freeley. The blessings that I have been given by the god of souls haven't been too bad. I know everything that I wonder.

For an example, if i were to wonder what time it was, I would immediately know as well as what day it was. When i first obtained this new host I found out that it didn't actually have a mind of its own so i wasn't actually stealing anyone's body. That lifted a weight off my grand soul hahaha. Get it? Grand soul? Oh nevermind, I'm all by myself okay? It gets boring when you are all alone.

Well anyway as i was wandering around I found a dead wolf beast that was glowing red. I was interested so I changed into a bobcat and went down the mountain to take a closer look. When I got down there I saw large gash marks on the wolf. I knew it was dead because I asked myself if it was.

Wondering what kind of beast it was, my mind was filled with knowledge. This surprised me a bit since i didn't think there would be so much information on this one beast.

This beast was a heated wolf. As a low level beast, heated wolves normally live in a pack of 10 others but this one was separated from its pack during a hunt. It later faced off against a stronger monster and died bleeding out from its wounds. These animals are able to change the temperature of their bodies sometimes leading to their hides to ignite on fire. They are very good with all temperatures but are extremely weak to water or ice. They normally eat their food raw because their stomach is hot enough to cook the meat inside. Since they can digest raw meat they rely on their body temps so they are able to eat comfortably.

After I learned about the heated wolves I immediately decided to devour the animal. I leapt upon the carcass and wrapt my gelatinous form around it. Slowly I began to eat away at the beast and soon devoured the whole thing. Yuummm! 

Once I finished devouring the wolf, it immediately turned into its kind. My body bulged. Large claws emerged from my limbs and my nose lengthened. Fearsome fangs grew within my mouth and my eyes opened with the feeling of bloodlust within them. Right after I transformed into a heated wolf, flames began to grow on my crimson pelt.

This is perfect don't you think? I'm looking super cool now. hahahahaha ! look at me now! Now I can make a fire in my cave. I changed back into a slime and bounced my way back to my little home. It doesn't have a big opening so no large beast would be able to get inside. But once you go in, there is a large cave that is so large, it's the size of a nice apartment.

I'm pretty proud of this place you know. I stored wood and stones inside my body and placed them within this cave to create a stone bed and some furniture with the wood. After depositing some wood in a fire pit I made with little stones, I turned into the new beast I devoured and began to playfully roll around in the wood. This quickly ignited the wood on fire creating a loud popping sound.

I reverted back into my slime form and spit some more pieces of wood into the fire. After that I went over to my stone bed and rested there for the rest of the day. As I tried to get some sleep for once in two days the crackling of the fire began to sooth me.
