Deciding to invest my 80 points into Strength, going from 111 to 191 strength, I felt myself swelling in power, feeling satisfied in the solace of my new base I finally had time to breath without having to look over my shoulder

My first day here was a unimaginable disaster, having lost everything I held dear in my old world, never to see my loving family or friends, the morals I had been taught since birth flew out the window not long after arriving and yet I don't feel an ounce of guilt...

The greatest shock was that I had been unable to stop myself from destroying the village, innocent people whom had no part in my fight yet their lives ended when my body was taken over, I didn't even fight to try to stop whoever it was that had taken control.

Was the lack of guilt because of my new body? could it be that because I'm no longer a human that I don't feel anything for other humans?

For an hour I sat there, deep in thought trying to come to terms with everything that had happened today.....

Meanwhile somewhere else

POV = ???

*Sound of heavy breathing*

Dammit they're still following me, those lowly peasants can't take a hint

Conjuring up another trap for the wastes of skins I continue running as fast as my feet could take me

My muscles screaming at me to stop and lungs feeling as if they're about to explode I soldier on regardless, my goal nearly reached.

My object was something I had felt a few hours ago, indescribable was its power of death, one would have though it was nearby yet it extended all the way out of the forest! This could only be the legendary item I had been searching for, nothing could emit such a level.

*Screaming of pained humans*

Unfortunately my departure alerted a nearby troop lead by a paladin which unfortunately for me made me target number one on their agenda.

With little time to revel from my successful trap I reach the cave, the source of the immeasurable death energy I felt was deep within.

With the last ounces of strength I rushed in past the open maws of the cave, the miasma of death coming from inside was enough to give even me a cold sweat.

With a red glow the deepest part of the cave was illuminated meaninglessly, as if the gates of hell were welcoming me yet I had no time to even consider stopping for a moment.

My sluggish rush finally ended I tripped at the bottom of the cave, the source....what the fuck is that thing!

"Hello little man" Its deep voice echo'd throughout the cave...."ACK!" I screamed as I fainted

--------------------------------------------------

POV = Xen (MC)

Deep in through I'd considered everything that had happened, despite everything I could do there would be no way in which I could consult with the humans without us fighting each other, thus for now I'd avoid any human contact if possible.

However should they attack me I won't spare them.

*Sound of heavy footsteps echoing through the cave*

My attention draw to the source, a man entered the chamber I was sitting in.

*THUD* as he fell over, face on the floor he quickly looked up to me, twisting in pain

Finding it slightly humerus I scoffed at him silently "Hello little man" I called out imagining him freaking out at the sight of me

"ACK!" he screams as he faints where he had fallen....maybe I'm a little more terrifying than I first thought.

*footsteps and armour echo'd through the cave*

Suddenly the sound of more people entered my cave.

"Get into formation, the necromancer won't have anywhere to run now that we got him cornered!" A voice screamed as he entered the cave.

The numerous footsteps gradually drawing clear until they come into sight.

"Holy sweet mother of god what has he done!" one of them called out "He's summoned a dragon!" another frantically called out.

"That's no dragon It looks like a giant lizard with wings attached!"....that's....that's just plain rude.

The initial shock wearing off quickly the group of 40 soldiers formed a wall of shields, blocking off the only entrance, feeling kind enough I'll give them a warning.

"little humans' don't test your luck, leave here and I'll le...." *Plink* as an arrow bounced off my neck "Shit sorry guys I forgot to get my arrows enhanced again" one of them called out.

"ROOOOOOAAAAAAAAAR!" *FWOOOOOOOSH* As I unleashed a jet of dragon's fire upon the group of rude soldiers.

*screams of burning soldiers*

Like marshmallows the group of soldiers turn black and crispy with a quick dosing of fire but something seemed amiss.

As the fire died down a small pyramid shape emerged, the insides revealing the figures of two people.

Dragon's Vapour Breath is now level 5

"Good job on the mana shield Jeffrey" the man in gaudy shining armour said "My names Henry...." the meek looking man replied, with a shuffle of his staff the fire around them disappeared instantly.

"Now cover me mage as I purge this beast from the world, the death energy it's emitting is sickening, that dam bastard Legna must have summoned it to taunt me! ME! the great paladin leader of the 2 paladin order being mocked this much by a little bitch like him!"

"Once we drag him back to town we'll make sure to make him suffer for disgracing the divine lord!" With that the two of them slowly marched up to me, the paladin with his tower shield in one hand and spear in the other.

The rush of the battle getting to me I decided to test my new body, Infusing mana all over my body with a great thrust from my legs I leap towards the gaudy looking paladin, leaping with all my might I stretched out my clawed paw towards the paladin

*CLANG*

My claws sinking into the tower shield as if butter, containing unabided my paw continued through the shield, the meat behind the shield howling in pain until he was flung away by the force of the blow, flung far enough that he travelled outside of the cave, a thud confirming his landing outside.

Dismissing the screen I pulled my bloodied claw back, the mage with a look of horror he finished his spell *boom* as the fireball hit the side of my face.

Doing the opposite of what of he had hoped a smile was plastered over my snout, with a twist of my body my tail swung towards his sides with great force slamming him into the cold walls of the cave *SPLAT* as his body deformed from the collusion.

The battle over in seconds I turn my attention back towards the person who had first entered.

Interested in this weird person I pick him up as best I can and put him in one of the corners, away from where I can keep an eye on him.

Looking at him more closely he doesn't look too bad, maybe a little short, bald and a few scars here and there but he seems pretty regular.

With my curiosity sated I decided to start training again
