Today I got up early, finished my run and workout, then came home. I feel that the quiet days will be over soon, so I intensified my training. I've been going to krav maga for six months now and practicing hard, it's a martial art somewhat similar to the GRU Special Forces combat system from my past world. I didn't spend much time practicing martial arts before, as there was no need for it. All problems could be solved by the number of people and good weapons. Even though I didn't spend a lot of time practicing, I still learned something, so it helped me a bit when I first started practicing Krav Maga. Anything can happen in this world, so you need to be able to swing your fists, not just fire a weapon. Now I'm alone, there's no reason to start a gang, and I can't do it with my hobbies. I'm no longer drawn to gunfights, I'm more interested in the meat of people. From one unpleasant habit to another. So there's not a lot of people who'll work with someone like me now, even among the bad guys. Unless, of course, they're some kind of lunatics or crazy maniacs, but I'd rather eat them than do business with them.
Those months were pretty rough, I wasn't in Stralinga for long, but I was in Central City for almost a full six months. So it's not surprising that I've killed and eaten a lot of people. Although people do not directly say that there is a maniacal killer, because they are simply unable to find the bodies of the missing. But it has been reported in the news many times that people go missing a lot. Almost thirty missing persons, not much for Central City, so it's nothing to worry about. But someone might be interested in my case, and that's gonna be a problem. I doubt they'll be able to find me, but it still makes me a little nervous.
The good news is that my hunger has stopped rising. After I reached my maximum human potential, my hunger also stopped increasing. Probably the stronger I am, the stronger the hunger. No wonder, because a strong body should also eat accordingly. If I become even stronger in the future, I can't imagine how much I'll have to eat.
Not only had I recently mastered martial arts quite well, I had also regained my past form. Now my body was moderately toned and looked pretty good. At least I was satisfied, I was no longer a skinny weakling. A regular gray-haired man with gray eyes. But there were some problems with my eyes, though they were gray, but in some places you could see red veins. It wasn't like that before, I guess after I ate a lot of other people's eyes, it somehow affected their color. Well, it's barely noticeable, so it's no big deal. It's just that if I had white hair and red eyes, it would look kind of ridiculous. I think I should dye my hair, even though gray looks good on me, it just doesn't feel right.
While I was pondering, the news started on the TV:
«A bank in Gold City was robbed a few minutes ago, more from the scene....
I took a sip and set the glass of bourbon on the table and said with a smirk:
«Here we go...
After that, I went down to the basement and broke into the Star-labs computer. I've been able to find access for a while now, but I tried not to draw attention to it, who knows what Thawne is capable of. He may not be a computer genius, but who knows what his skills are. So I tried to keep a low profile on their server, and only acted when absolutely necessary.
«Hmm, there doesn't seem to be anyone at Star Labs. - I said thoughtfully. They're probably testing Barry Allen's powers right now. He's not very strong right now, so I could try to get a sample of his bone marrow, but I'm afraid something might go wrong, so I decided not to take any chances and wait until he's stronger.
In the meantime, I'll have to wait and see if I can take on the Weather Wizard, I'm no match for him. And when Barry beats him, I won't have a chance to do anything either. But in the future I should have a chance to find other meta-humans, and maybe I can find a way to get the ones that were locked up in Star Labs. Still, I know all about Barry and his crew, I have plenty of ways to push them and get what I need. But that's not feasible as long as Eobard Thawne is in there. He's a very big threat, he'll have no problem getting rid of me. So I shouldn't let him see me at all, he might think I'd hurt the flush, and that would end badly for me.
Okay, that's all for later, right now we have to bide our time.....

«Aah! No! Don't kill me! - The man in the alley, huddled in a corner, screamed frantically.
I slowly approached him and he kept shaking. When I was a couple of steps away from my future food I grinned and said:
«Don't worry, I won't kill you.....
«R-really? Then... Then why do you need this-- This knife? Why were you chasing me? - The guy pointed his trembling hand at my hand, which was holding a machete.
I hummed:
«To cut you up, of course.
«What--What?! Why?! What did I do to you?! - The man started yelling hysterically.
I sighed:
«I'm fine, but you killed an entire family a couple years ago, which means you can be eaten. - After saying that, I started to walk slowly toward the guy, rubbing my machete.
«No, no, no! Please, I didn't mean to, it's what happened, they... It's their own fault, I don't wanna...
*♪ Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo ♪
«Aaaaaaaa....! - As soon as I cut off his arm he started squealing like a slaughtered pig.
I don't usually hunt like this, but today was a special day, I decided to dispel the boredom and hunt one bastard. This screeching meat killed an entire family on the outskirts of town two years ago when he tried to steal from them. But the local justice system couldn't put him behind bars for lack of evidence. He was lucky then, but now...
*♪ Crunch, crunch, crunch ♪ ♪ Crunch, crunch, crunch ♪
I picked up the severed arm and began to eat it, grinning cheerfully, in front of its past owner. I took off my mask so he could get a good look.
«No... no. ahhh... - The sight made him mumble something, and then he rolled his eyes and passed out.
I sighed:
«Eh, I guess it was too much for him. There's something about it, though, I kind of liked it.
*♪ Ugh ♪
I spit up the blood and stepped closer to the guy.
«Э? There's no way... - I looked down at where he was sitting and cringed:
«Bastard, you've ruined my appetite.
*♪ Whoo-hoo ♪ ♪ Bang ♪ ♪ Bang ♪
A few good blows and his head was finally severed. Everything was covered in blood, but for some reason I wasn't even disgusted by it all today. I walked away with his head, and then I opened the skull, took out the brain, and ate some of it.
«Hoooo, there, that's enough of that....
*♪ Bang ♪
I tossed my head in the direction of the decapitated and pissed corpse, then put on my mask and started walking away. This was a fun hunt.....
