“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: Safehouse Ruins – Midnight Storm

Kaari's body had now fully mutated.

Her eyes glowed deep crimson — veins pitch black, and an organic whip-blade extended from her spine.

> "You can't stop me, Z-00… I am a fragment of you."

She wasn't Kaari anymore — or maybe… this was the real Kaari.

> [Decision Point Reached – "Kill or Convert" Protocol Initiated]

Choose wisely. Consequences are irreversible.

[OPTION UNLOCKED – USE BLOOD CODE EXTRACTOR]

Silas screamed, "If her core's already mutated, don't extract it! She'll drag you down with her!"

The moment I activated the extractor, Kaari's scream pierced the room —

and a red wave slammed into my mind.

I saw another version of myself. Pale skin, blood patterns etched across his body.

Z-00 was just the outer shell. I am the flesh you've buried deep inside."

This was the Architect's First Echo —

A conscious virus that awakens when you suppress your emotions.

> "Kaari was a test. Now move to the next step —

Become the Devourer. Unlock the trait: Fleshlink: Consumption Protocol."

I pulled the trigger. The extractor overloaded.

A blood crystal burst from her chest —

and her mutated form began dissolving into steaming mist…

A corrosive explosion engulfed everything.

But now, in my hand, was a Corrupted Core Shard.

> "You're insane… That shard will change you."

NEW SYSTEM ALERT: CORRUPTED PATH ACTIVATED

> [Unlocked Trait: Fleshlink – Inherited Corruption]

[Warning: Morality threshold bypassed]

[Next Mutation in 48 Hours unless stabilized.]

I wasn't just a shapeshifter anymore.

I was now a ticking timebomb — a walking fragment of the Architect.

The system no longer asks for permission.
