“Life was a game… but I always broke the rules.”

Arav, a 21-year-old disillusioned youth from Earth, dies unexpectedly in a tragic accident. But death was just the beginning. Awakened in a mysterious world with no form, no body, and no identity, he is reborn as Kael – The Formless One, a Primordial Shapeshifter with the power to become anything.

Gifted with the Limitless Morph ability, Kael can devour creatures, absorb their forms and memories, and evolve infinitely. From mimicking a serpent to understanding the jungle’s deadly secrets, his journey begins in a primal land where survival is war, and evolution is power.

With the System guiding him, and a mysterious mission urging him to absorb 10,000 forms, Kael sets off on a path of transformation, vengeance, and discovery. Who chose him? What is the "Core of Origins"? And what lies at the peak of shapeshifter evolution?

The game has begun. And Kael intends to win — by becoming everything.

The time when I get reincarnated as a shapeshifter

Location: Sanctuary Outskirts – 5 Hours After Vane's Attack

Kaari was still unconscious. Her heartbeat was stable, but her DNA was showing signs of flux.

The system alert kept echoing in my head:

> [Warning: Corruption spreading. Parasite has nested in neural core.]

[Estimated Time until Full Mutation: 5 Days 19 Hours]

I'm a shapeshifter… but was I just another experiment too?

Memory Trigger: Vision #1 – Origin Chamber Z-00

Suddenly, the system involuntarily unlocked a memory.

The scene shifted — everything turned into black and silver.

I saw myself inside a glass tube — and outside stood a being…

His face was a mask, but behind it was constantly shifting flesh — like living bodies were twisting inside him.

> "Subject Z-00… unstable, but fascinating.

Injecting shard of E'ZAKRIEL's core into its morphic nucleus."

That's when I realized — I'm a prototype…

And inside me lies a shard of a god.

Back to Present – A Visitor Appears

I was panicking when a voice echoed:

> "Took you long enough to remember."

A hooded figure stood ahead — with silver eyes and burned skin.

Silas – a rogue shapeshifter who once worked for humans… now neutral.

But I ran… when I learned that we're all locks."

> "If all prototypes come into contact…

The sealed form of the Flesh Architect will awaken.

Silas handed me a device — a Blood Code Extractor.

> "Use this to trace the parasite inside Kaari.

If it contains a fragment of the Architect,

you'll have to kill her yourself."

Scene Shift: Internal Dive into Kaari's Mind

The system activated Neuro Dive Protocol —

I had to enter Kaari's subconscious.

Inside was a maze-like mind — each memory was a hallway.

Behind one of the doors, I heard a voice:

because she was built to contain you."

Shocking Reveal – Kaari's True Identity

Kaari stood inside a lab. And she wasn't just a shapeshifter…

She was created after me — a failsafe designed to kill me if I ever went rogue.

> "Project Z-01-B – Codename: Kaari

Objective: Lure Z-00. Neutralize upon bonding."

> [WARNING: Emotional Surge Detected – Danger of System Shutdown]

In the middle of my confusion, I heard a dark laugh echoing inside my mind:

> "The time has come. Unseal me…

and become what you were born to be…

Suddenly, in the real world — Kaari's body began to twitch.

Her veins turned black. Her eyes opened wide…

And in a distorted voice, she whispered:

> "Z-00… You were always my mission.

But I'm no longer what I was created to be…"

Her hand mutated — transforming into a blade made of bones and blood.
