Yeah, it seems like my ability has a positive side.... Eating my eyes can make my vision stronger and sharper, quite interesting. Hmm, what happens if I eat something else? Like bones.

Worth a try, only problem is I can't just eat them, I need to crush them with something and fast so the nutritional benefits don't disappear.

Hmm, I've got a file, I'll try some bone meal.

I took out a file and a circular saw, put on an apron and goggles so I wouldn't get splattered with blood, and spread cellophane everywhere so I wouldn't leave any marks. I put a tourniquet around the black guy's arm and got ready.

«Hoo, here we go - I exhaled and turned on the saw.

*♪ Vzhzhzhzh ♪

The saw went straight down my arm and cut it off near the elbow. I immediately turned the saw off and with quick knife strokes cut off the meat to clean the bone. I put the bowl down and picked up the file and started rubbing the bone.

*♪ Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo ♪

I grated for about a minute, and there was quite a bit of bone meal, quite a big handful. I didn't hesitate and popped it into my mouth and swallowed it. The flavor was strange, there wasn't much of it, it didn't even taste like flour, so I didn't really understand much. But when I swallowed it all, I felt a strange sensation, like my bones were starting to itch. They were tingling and I could feel something happening to them. I guess my theory works, this way you can strengthen yourself if you have certain body parts.

Okay, this guy's not going to last much longer, so I should check his organs while he's still useful. With quick movements, I cut through his chest and broke out his ribs. I took the knife and cut out his heart, there was a monstrous amount of blood, but I was used to it, so I didn't even bat an eyebrow. I didn't have much time, so I just started eating the heart....

*♪ Chawk ♪

«Bghaa... What a load of crap. The metallic flavor is even stronger. - I couldn't help but spit it out, then sighed, closed my nose and took another bite and swallowed quickly. Immediately afterward, I felt a strong satiation, twice as much as from a piece of regular muscle. But that was all, I didn't feel any change in my body, my heart didn't change and nothing else happened to me. Probably I can only strengthen some parts of my body by eating them from others.

After that I checked more lungs and liver, but there was no change either, even their nutritional content was noticeably inferior to the heart, only slightly more so than muscle.

Next I tested other organs on still living bodies and everything was the same, so I concluded that organs can't make me stronger.

Hmm, there are only two organs left that I haven't checked, firstly the brain and also the bone marrow, although the second one doesn't seem to be an organ.... Well, it's still worth a try, there's three more people left, that should be enough.

I decided to start with the brain, so I quickly cut open the skull of some European and took a knife and cut off a small piece of gray matter. The brain looked very disgusting, slimy pink and bloody. I covered my nose and quickly swallowed the piece.....

«Wow, that's the nutritional content... - The nutrition of the brain was amazing, more than three times the nutrition of the heart at least, so far the most nutritious part of a human being. But unfortunately I didn't feel anything besides the nutrition, probably the human brain can't enhance me in any way.

To this I only sighed, I was already glad of that too. At least now I could swallow a couple pieces of brain and be completely full.

I was already satiated, as I had tasted many body parts, and after taking a bite of the brain, the hunger was completely gone.

Okay, now we just have to look at the bone marrow and its effects. I walked over to the penultimate remaining living person and turned on the circular saw.

*♪ Wjj**Kragh ♪

The sound of bones breaking was a bit unpleasant.... I cut his arm off at the shoulder, right on the edge of the bone, I needed to get the marrow out, and this was the easiest way to do it.

I looked at the incision site and saw a viscous reddish liquid inside the bone, I took the syringe and dialed it full.

«Well, here we go. - I exhaled and poured all the liquid into my mouth, and swallowed immediately. The taste was disgusting....

«Brrr, what a flavor.... - I grimaced. But after a while, I felt a strange sensation. It was like a bolt of electricity went through my body, and it was an indescribable sensation. I've never felt anything more pleasant....

When the feeling passed, I felt my whole body change a little. It was like I was younger, even my mind was completely new, thinking was easier, and everything felt different.

Yeah, it's even better than bone renewal, probably by eating bone marrow I was able to strengthen my bone marrow somehow and it started producing better blood. As weird as that sounds... But it seems to be. The human body depends on blood for everything, even if the brain is the main organ, blood is its fuel. The better the fuel, the better the brain and the whole body will work. Bones, organs, muscles, everything depends on blood.

Not bad, looks like I found a way to become stronger, of course I'll have to kill a lot of criminals to do it, but the result should be amazing. I wonder if there's a limit to it. I doubt I'll be able to get stronger indefinitely, but who knows? I'll have to look into it, too bad there's only one body left.

Well, there's something else to check, namely the compatibility of meat with spices and whether it can be cooked. It's kind of gross to eat raw meat, so it would be nice if I could at least add pepper or salt.

Right after that, I heated up the electric stove I had recently bought and heated a frying pan. I prepared various spices and waited for the pan to heat up.

After a few minutes, the pan got hot enough, and I got started. I cut a small piece off the last guy's forearm and threw it in the pan. The piece was small, so it fried almost instantly. I quickly took it out and cooled it down, and started chewing it. The flavor was already acceptable, like regular fried meat, which was nice. Of course, it would need more salt... But when I swallowed it, I didn't feel any nutrition, as if I had tasted regular food. Yeah... so it can't be fried, probably something important is lost in frying.

All right, let's try some pepper. I cut off another piece, added spices, salt and pepper. Then I took a piece and swallowed it.

All those seasonings really overpowered the nasty taste of raw meat, that was already a good thing. After I swallowed it, I immediately felt a bit of nutritional benefits, just like from regular raw human meat.

Great, at least I can use condiments, that's something.

Okay, that's about it, now I'm gonna try to eat as much of his bone marrow as I can while he's still alive, and then I'll do other things.
