《Planet-Eater Reincarnation (in Star Wars)》Chapter 28, Bigger and better

...It probably is. Technically.
On the other hand, I just… I don’t want to destroy this place or ruin anything too important. And considering that this place was locked behind a safe or something, they must be special, and destroying those kinds of artefacts…
I glance at the walls. Dozens upon dozens of crystals.
...Just one wouldn’t hurt, right? Since there are already so many! It’s like eating one of fifteen gold bars! Barely any difference!
My tentacles tremble. It’s probably not a good idea. But has that stopped me before? Of course not! Plus, if whatever else I find on this planet can’t help me escape, I'll need to resort to this place anyways. Might as well find out what this gives before I’m desperate enough to eat all of them in one sitting.
Crunch.
66 000 -> 116 000
...Over a hundred thousand points. Jess Christ. That is, like, a lot. What was that, 50 000 points? Shit. Crunchy texture with added softness from the metal. 6/10.
There are over a hundred of these big crystals in here. If I ate all of these, I could-,
Knowledge hits me like a truck, but even then I can barely tell what that information is about. Where even is that? Who are they? Why does everything feel so hazy? Everything hits me so massively and fast that I can't even comprehend what it means, and as a sort of mental defence, I just store it all away in a bubble of sorts. Outside my thoughts. Oh, well. Unimportant, eh?
I turn back to the crystals around me.
...No. No, I can’t.
Whoever built this temple treasured these beyond anything else, beyond the small crystals, beyond the tablets. I’ve had my fill. This was enough. No more.
I leave the room. There is much else to see, and I have no mind to destroy things that aren’t mine. Well, maybe a few things, but no more! Right. I’ve already seen this room, and as far as I can see, any other part is just abandoned. Or maybe it was never inhabited to begin with? Either way, I leave, moving through the temple with solemn, thoughtful slithers. And before I know it, I’m back outside, facing my own body, towering above me. I turn to myself and shift my consciousness.

Wassup, myself?
Not much, you?
I eat myself. Bleh. Horrible, as usual. And not just eating, either. Being ate is extremely uncomfortable. Maybe I should show more mercy to the living things I eat? Like crush their bodies first?
...I feel like I’m starting to say very morbid things. Weird.
Ah, my primary tentacle has grown out again! Now, where to go next? I’ve explored the temple (assuming there aren’t any hidden passages or whatever), so I’m not sure what else there is to d-,
There’s a faint rumble in the earth coming from the pillar of light.
Of course! Something has to be creating that thing, there has to be some tasty something in there! Right, right, perfect plan! Let’s go there!
The pillar of light seems to be shooting up from the mountain that half of the temple is situated inside, so there might be some way to go from within the temple and into the mountain or something.
...Or, alternatively… I could just climb the mountain directly and enter where the light shines out from.
But that’s cheating! Why do it the easy way when I can do it the hard way??
However, before I delve back into the temple to check for secrets passageways, I want to use my points. 50% for size, the rest I’ll distribute between Strength and Regeneration with a 3:5 ratio. Right. I’ve never even had to do this kind of budgeting before. God, that’s a lot of points.
Alright. Let’s go. Sometime in the future, I should make myself more tentacles to fit all this size, but… Eh, we’ll get there.
Increase Size? Cost: 9 500 (you have 116 000) Increase Size? Cost: 12 000 (you have 116 000) Increase Size? Cost: 15 000 (you have 116 000) Increase Size? Cost: 21 500 (you have 116 000)
...That’s probably about half, I think. This might just be a terrible idea, but I can no longer judge that! Do it, computer!

116 000 -> 58 500
And so, I was given a very nice view of how the temple before me visibly shrunk. Whereas before I was around a fourth of the temple’s height, that quickly changes. Soon I’m a third, a half, seven-tenths… I catch up to it. Equal size. And then, I pass it. Just a little.
...I’m larger than the temple. Not in mass, not in importance, just…
Shit. One of these days I’ll be too big.
...W-, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it!
As for the rest… I’ve miscalculated. I forgot that resistance was a skill that I had. In light of that acid-water thing, I think I’ll upgrade it as well. Right. Let’s just start by putting my points half-of-half into strength.
Upgrade Strength? Cost: 1 500 (you have 58 500) Upgrade Strength? Cost: 1 800 (you have 58 500) Upgrade Strength? Cost: 2 500 (you have 58 500) Upgrade Strength? Cost: 3 750 (you have 58 500) Upgrade Strength? Cost: 5 000 (you have 58 500) Upgrade Strength? Cost: 6 500 (you have 58 500) Upgrade Strength? Cost: 8 000 (you have 58 500)
That is-, more than I thought. Like, whoa, I just-, all things considered, this will probably match my current size, but even then, the sheer amount that I’m able to buy is just… Yeah. Okay, buy.
58 500 -> 29 450
Right. Now for Resistance and Regeneration… Maybe a 3:1 ratio or something?
Upgrade Regeneration? Cost: 950 (you have 29 450)
...That is so cheap I’m ashamed I haven’t upgraded it before.
Upgrade Regeneration? Cost: 1 100 (you have 29 450) Upgrade Regeneration? Cost: 1 200 (you have 29 450) Upgrade Regeneration? Cost: 1 400 (you have 29 450) Upgrade Regeneration? Cost: 1 550 (you have 29 450) Upgrade Regeneration? Cost: 1 700 (you have 29 450) Upgrade Regeneration? Cost: 1 900 (you have 29 450)
...Yeah, let’s go.
29 450 -> 19 650
Like every other time I’ve upgraded regeneration, there’s no real physical difference.
But, if I roll the tertiary tentacles on one of my tentacles into my tertiary mouth and do the same with the secondary tentacles into the secondary mouth and the whole bundled-up thing into my primary mouth and bite it off…
The whole thing regenerates in a matter of about seven seconds.
...Okay, uh, onto Resistance!
Upgrade Resistance? Cost: 2 300 (you have 19 650)
Oh, right. This is gonna take the last of my points, huh?
Upgrade Resistance? Cost: 2 600 (you have 19 650) Upgrade Resistance? Cost: 2 850 (you have 19 650) Upgrade Resistance? Cost: 3 400 (you have 19 650) Upgrade Resistance? Cost: 3 900 (you have 19 650) Upgrade Resistance? Cost: 4 500 (you have 19 650)
Right. Yeah, yeah, go. God, this is going to be costly-,
19 650 -> 100
...And there all my points go. Geez.
And, as usual, I feel absolutely nothing. And, mind you, I’m not about to test the resistance skill, that’d be a hundred times harder than regeneration!

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
