'where am I?' looking around all I saw was darkness. 'I remember awakening my bloodline and then...' feeling my head start to hurt I stopped thinking about it. 'enough about that. I need to find out where I am.' after looking around for a while I saw something, it was a floating orb like the ones in the white room, but instead of the normal blue it was grey. 'a bio-map?' moving over to the bio-map I tried to see what was inside of it. [access denied]
after a moment of trying to open the bio-map, a screen opened up in front of me. 'strange. I don't remember making this. let's see if it works like my system.' "system, grant access." [request denied] "why?" [access rank insufitiont] "how can I raise my access rank?" [request denied... anomaly found... initiating destruction] as soon as I read the words on the screen a black tendril sprouted from the ground and began to attack me.
trying to fight back I realised that I didn't have a body and I couldn't make one either. 'wait, if I don't have a body, how am I thinking?' my soul! but how do I fight with my soul?' dodging the black tendrils as more sprouted I began to think of a way to fight back. 'raming them? too dangerous. controlling them? also too dangerous. damn, what do I do?' as time went on more and more tendrils were forming soon there were going to be too many. 'wait. why don't I just make a body out of my soul?'
constraining on myself I began to imagine my body 'damn, not enough energy. where do I get more? the orb!' looking over at the orb I realised that it was 'alive' so it must have a soul 'i don't haft to make my whole body, I just need enough to latch on and drain its soul to fuel mine so I can grow.'
doing as much as I could with the energy I had I managed to make a needle with a container on the end. the needle would drain the soul from the orb and inject it into the container that would form my soul's body. moving as fast towards the grey orb as I could I dodged the black tendrils as I for closer and closer before finally stabbing it.
as soon as I was in the orb I began to take whatever I could while rooting myself as deep as I could so it couldn't take me out. however, as soon as I was connected to the orb the tendrils stopped attacking me 'guess they don't wanna risk the orb.' soon after the tendrils stopped the first parts of the grey orb's soul started to flow in.

'whose memories are these? the orbs? and who was that in the beginning? what is a controller parasite? PD? why are there so many questions? whatever. ill just keep forming my body. even though the tendrils aren't attacking any more I feel like forming a body will help a lot. and if I keep absorbing the memories I should find out whose memories these are. wait, why is my thought process so different from before?' before I could continue those thoughts the next memories came in.
