Step! Step! Step!
"Mom!" A youth voice called out to his mother
"Yes, sweetie? Is something wrong that you scream all of a sudden" The Mother spoke out, quite concerned if anything happened to her son?
"I'm hungry! Can I eat please?"
She was stupefied, she had forgotten how much of an eater her son was. Guess old age is getting to her.
"How many times do I have to tell you Alex, we are poor and can't buy food as we please. How many times do I have to tell you?"
"But mom, I'm hungry and I want food now!" The boy whose name is Alex demanded his guardian.
"Don't talk to me like that! You should know already to stop talking to me like that before you get your ass beat by your father."
There were a few moments of silents before tears started to flow down Alex's cheeks
"I-im sorry mommy. I just want something to eat. I'm always hungry" Alex said in a saddened tone
After a bit, the mother leaned down and hugged him.
"It's alright sweetie, we should get you checked up to see what's wrong with you next week, after that we can buy something just for you."
"Really?" Alex questioned excitedly which her mother nodded
"Yay!"
"Huh?" The boy stopped his excitement to look over at a strange man standing in the corner.
"Who are you?" Alex glanced at the strange man who had midnight blue skin and oily vanta black hair.
"Oh, it looks like I've been found out."
All of a sudden, the surrounding area went black while the ground turned into liquid but somehow the blue-skinned individual managed to walk on it quite perfectly.
"*sigh*going down an old memory lane isn't always a pleasant experience," the blue-haired individual said with a displeasing tone.",
Who is this blue-skin handsome person you may ask? Well of course it was me. I've been trapped here ever since I got stabbed in the heart. This could be me in the afterlife where I can control my surrounding area or I'm still alive but just unconscious.
I go with the latter since I don't believe this would be the afterlife. Such a boring thing to expect after you die.
"Well let's walk about"
Splash! Splash! Splash!
My foot stepped on the puddle-like floor, creating a small splash every time I took a single step.
The feeling of bare stepping on the water feels enjoyable and relaxing like I've been reborn once more.
I sometimes even kick water up in the air just for the water to splash my feet.
And there's another factor I'm also experiencing.
I don't feel hungry.
That's right! Hunger! The one thing that's been tormenting me ever since I was born, I was no longer feeling it.
Is this what it's like to feel full? If so then I must be missing out on my entire life. I just want to stay here and experience this feeling eternally.
But I know this is only a fantasy to feel such a luxury, that's why I'm here.
Anyway, let's go through my memories since there's nothing to do.
The very space changed. Now the scenery looks to be a classroom, 5 tables with 4 chairs set with them. Soon kids who looked to be in their pre-teen years started to appear out of thin air.
"Such a lovely class. I always love this class as they allow free time every time you finish all your work and I was pretty decent at it. I managed to get it all done."
Walking around it, I decided to turn myself invisible so no one would notice me. This is after all my consciousness so anything is possible.
Seeing me on my phone sometimes brings delight. I think this was me reading marvel comics on youtube. Even though people give me shits for it and tell me to just read them off of Google, I ignore them and continue my business. I also knew the school's wifi.
"Hey Alex, what are you watching?", a kid who seems to be taller than me at that time asked
"Just doing the usual shit Drake". The memory of me said to the boy whose name was Drake.
Ah, such a wonderful friendship we had, he was my best friend. I even visited his house from time to time to play some games.
Once more the scenery changed, now someone was holding a bloody knife, pointing it at a bleeding individual in a bedroom.
The person who was holding the knife was me of course and on the ground was my dear friend Drake. After I was done killing my family and eating them, I soon went to my dear friend's house because I was greedy for more. I wanted more food and since it was my first time eating something so good, who would be fitting to be my next meal than Drake and his parents.
"I knew something was wrong with you the instant your parents told me that you were eating everyone's pets!" Drake yelled
No one could hear him, his parents were already dead so it was only him. Plus he's a single child so there's that.
"Think of what you want, you should've known that I'm a person who wants more than he already has," my memory self said in an impatient tone.
"Welp nice talking to you Drake"
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Ah, I remember this moment, I stabbed him multiple times just because I wanted to see his horrified face while I stabbed him. In the end, I look like a whole tomato.
As he was about to eat, he stopped suddenly and looked in my direction. I thought at first it was a coincidence that he look over here but he keep on staring over here and is also making a weird face.
'What the fuck, why the fuck is he looking over here, I'm supposed to be invisible.' I thought in disbelief
"Who the fuck are you and why are you blue?" my memory self said.
"*sigh* this is annoying, let's get out of here real quick" I whispered.
As I was about to change the space, my memory self rushed towards me, trying to stab me. So you know what I did next? I dodge his futile attempt to stab me and grab him by the face and slam him to the ground.
This is the difference between me and him, I've grown stronger while he hasn't.
Once I did that though, the whole area changed without my command which confused me greatly. First him seeing me and now this?
The whole area changed into a forest but it's a forest I don't remember. The vibe, color, texture, smell, I've never experienced this feeling in the current forest I'm in right now.
I walked around a bit and it didn't take long for me to find something interesting. The thing I found was a rotting corpse moving slowly
"The fuck is this? Why is there a zombie here?" But the surprise didn't stop there, a being with the limbs of many types of animal parts appeared. Hell, even his head looks weird, it looks like a cobra snake head.
It bit off the zombie's head and continued with its business. I followed him and he repeated the same cycle. What I also found strange was that the zombies weren't attacking him. They just stand there waiting for their second death.
I wanted to talk to this man but before I could, once again without my command, the very space around me changed and this time it was something somewhat familiar.
This time I'm watching wait… me? I mean I'm sure of it, I know my scent very well and what height I am. Although I look taller here, I knew this was me but... at the same time wasn't. I saw "me" massacre the group that stabbed my heart effortlessly, with such excellent control of abilities.
"Just what is this?" I said in amazement. I admire the "me" strength, agility, and use of abilities from multiple different types of animals I consume.
"Will I be this strong if I have the mastery like this thing has?" I muttered while I looked on at the massacre and only a few thoughts came into my mind
'I want that kind of mastery.'
