Exploration I

Once I am done getting use to my body a welcome message pops up in my vision which I guess happened to everyone else aswell.

[welcome young ones to your new reality, as most of you have found out already, you are now the monster that you created in a CYOA, this is not a dream nor can you return to your human selves unless you can shapeshift. You are now new citizens of serenity, the city itself has missions to be completed and appropriate rewards. The only currency the city uses is time/age therfore if you complete a mission you will be rewarded age, which can be used to trade amongst yourselves, among other uses;do be aware you are all at your weakest/base form and that the older you are the stronger you become. Have fun young ones you have all the time in the universe and more.]

After the announcement I decide to climb on top of a 30 floor building and jump from building to building as a way to travel, while doing so I check the chat.

[(M) crimson king:HELP there's a monster chasing me, I don't wanna die. If someone helps me I will give them $1 million I'm at xxxxxx in a store please hurry it's getting closer.]

[(M) terror bird:hey guys I can fly!!! @crimsonking I'm close by, I'll help if you give me $2 million]

[(F) jaeger:does anyone know how to change usernames?]

[(M) juggernaut:hey guys I can crush card with my bare hands it's amazing, oh and @crimsonking are you a dog/bird thing? Cause that just ran into a clothing store? If not can I kill it? Is that illegal? Do we even need to follow the laws now that we are awsome monsters?]

[(M) crimson king:help another monster joined it and this one can fly, I think I'm gonna die. Oh God there's something on the roof, helphelphelphelphelphelp.]

As I read the last message from crimson King I see two 'citizens' down on the street below screeching and roaring with each other, the weird thing is that I can understand it? It's like I can hear that they are screeching and roaring but also I can hear that their taking about how cool each other looks and laughing about how to scare crimson King even more. So I do the right thing and send both of them a message to ask if I can join in on the fun, after having a little chat we made up a plan where I scare him out of the building terror Bird will fly above and follow him while directing juggernaut on which building to smash through.

As I get in position behind the dog/bird thing that looks like a cerberus with wings I click my teeth together slowly getting faster as I get closer to him, then just as I'm a couple of steps away I stop, letting it all go quiet, already he's looking around panicked all three heads looking in different directions, so I use an illusion to make him hear and feel a warm breath right on his middle neck, as I do he let's out a sound between a wimper, bark and screech that oddly sounds like a high pitch girl scream, each sound coming from a different head with the screech/scream coming from the middle head, then he bolts out the side of the building easily smashing through the wall and dissapears down the street, his wings flapping like someone drowning flaps their arms.

Deciding to follow terror bird as it would be easier, I run and jump from building to building for a few minutes until I see juggernaut smash through a brick wall in front of crimson King and let out a literal earth shaking roar right in crimson King's face, after a few seconds of crimson King just standing still he collapses.l

Aproaching the passed out crimson King juggernaut asks

"do you think we overdid it?" the three of us look at each other as silence takes over for a couple of seconds before we all start laughing so hard that we fall to the ground and continue to laugh for a while, until we are all just giggling.

------------------------------

As we finish up giggling we see crimson King still out cold so terror Bird approaches him then slaps all three of his heads making him come to with a jolt. As he comes to he tries to bark? But instead let's out a yelp... After getting him to calm down and talking to him saying we're not mindless monsters trying to kill him, he start to realise that we scared the shit outta him and starts yelling about how it's not funny and blah blah blah.

After having a little fun we decide to add each other as friends 'reluctantly on crimson king's part' then go our separate ways to explore the city. After leaving those three I decide to climb the tallsst building closest to me and look around;looking around all I see is a ruined city with all types of monstrous things roaming about, honestly it looks kinda boring.

Deciding to use sonic blast to find a place to explore, I see a mini map appear in my head with a range of 50km in all directions and 500m west of my position is a hole in the ground filled with water I think? All I can tell is that it's a liquid and the hole is big enough to fit 3 of me shoulder to shoulder and still have room to spare, making my way over to the hole I find a 6 armed monkey with the lower half of a dog(so like a centaur) and a crocodile with 8 legs and 2 heads(one normal crocodile head and another where the tail should be) fighting, both are injured as the crocodile is missing 3 feet and half it's face is caved in, whereas the monkey-dog thing has its front right leg ripped off and spurting blood all over the ground, front left leg looks broken, has only the upper 2 arms that can move and chunks of flesh are missing so I can see its ribs and still beating heart.

Sneaking atop a 2 story house I open up multiple flaps on my chest showing my quills and aim them at the exposed heart of the monkey-dog and aiming all left side arms(3 main arms 2 secondary arms) at the crocodile's injured head. I then shoot some quills out at the monkey-dog while shooting out pressurised water at the crocodile and watch as the quills peirce right into the monkey-dog's heart and explode destroying the heart and cause it to fall down and struggle for a couple seconds as it lies in its own blood then dies, the water on the other hand peirce right through the mush that is half of the crocodiles head and hit the brain, as soon as that happens the crocodile's movements grow sluggish and its moving around like a drunk trying to crawl.

Deciding to finish it off up close, I approach it in its blind spot(it's now dead head) and jump on top of it using 4 main arms to hold its still active head down and still, and use my remaining 2 lowest main arms and 4 secondary arms to tear into its back. While this is happening I stab 4 tails into the ground to keep me stable and use the last 2 to stab the crocodiles hide, which is extremely tough, after making a big enough hole with my claws and tails I start using my tounges to stab into its flesh and rip parts of its body off then start eating it alive. After 10 minutes later I've already eaten half of the crocodile, don't know when it died as I didn't pay much attention to it but whatever, after eating the crocodile I move on to the monkey-dog which is alot easier than the crocodile meat, if I had to compare the meat of both, then the crocodile was like a chewwy steak with hard candy in it(hard candylike texture is the bones) and the monkey-dog is like eating a hard boiled egg with the shell(shelllike texture is the bones). The taste is pretty good, they don't really taste to different from each other, only the texture is different.

After finishing my snack I approach the hole "kinda looks like a sinkhole" I mutter under my breath then dive strait in.
