Who am I? No seriously who am I? What am I? It’s like it’s at the tip of my tongue but i just can’t remember anything i know i have not been conscious or maybe even sentient for a while, the worst part is that i can only feel my surroundings, i feel like a good chunk of me is covered in a hard substance, maybe rock? I try to wiggle it move in some way, i get the urge to change and i try that, it also doesn’t work, uggh it’s so frustrating!.. wait, i feel something other than what’s touching me, it’s hard to describe the sensation exactly, but it’s like when you are covered in blankets and one of you feet is out in the cold room, it feels weird, almost naked, what’s even weirder is I can kind of wiggle it, not well or even much, in fact I don’t think it’s physically moving more of a strange intangible sensation, a word comes to mind but i don’t know what it means, apparently what I can control is called sprit sense, apparently it’s made of mana, which i also have no idea what means as I probe around the area with my spirit sense and something appears I’m my mind

Though the blue screen is concerning something else happened and it’s many times more pleasant I started absorbing something from the surroundings, I think it’s mana, it’s incredibly refreshing, it’s like a cold shower after a long day of work, it’s incredibly refreshing and oddly the more I absorb the more of myself I can see, I seem to be in the shape of a.. sword? I don’t think I’m supposed to be a sword, I’m supposed to be a.. uhh.. or right I forgot what I am, well no matter I will find out later. I remember I was in the middle of experimenting when the error popped up, I wiggled around a bit more and watched the error screen change

That doesn’t seem remotely right I was clearly absorbing mana earlier, and I can feel it flowing through me in my… I don’t know what they are but I’m calling them mana veins anyway it’s flowing through them and I can sense it, in fact I can screw it flowing off into somewhere near the middle of my body, it’s near where my blade attaches to the hilt I feel like I can funnel my mana into it, and so I do, and my spirit sense gets longer, and thicker. As it does I can start to sense, well honestly the sense is more like sight though omnipresent in the area the tendril is in, anyway i start to see a massive ball of light and when I say massive I mean it, it’s so big I can only see it stretching to the horizon, it is encased in a cyan like barrier, it also seems to have hundreds or maybe thousands of small threads connecting to what I think are screens, maybe users? Are they souls? I genuinely can’t tell ,when I look back at myself I see… something is terribly wrong, I’m covered in layers of barriers, they are far apart from each other and each one seems to be have many different things on it, the one closest has what looks like a ball attached to the barrier, it’s full of something something I know is mine instinctively, the barrier is small, in fact it only has this thing on it, maybe breaking it will give me what it’s holding back, with that thought I garden the tendril and stab the ball it leaks everything it has in it, making it disappear in the void.
A profound feeling of loss overwhelms me, then it transforms into a burning rage and hunger like no other. The next thing I knew I ate what was left of the stuff inside the ball, the ball and the rest of the barrier, though the barrier only seemed to be able to be consumed after I ate the ball, also I got a skill called {Grandmaster Fleshcraft} from what I understand it allows me to change my own flesh however I want! I apparently can copy parts of creatures I ate! It also allows me to make things more efficient when making flesh, so I can be better than anything I eat, minor issue, well I guess two minor issues I have no mouth and I must scream, the worst part I don’t have any memory of eating anything so I can’t make myself a mouth or anything I have ate, I could see but I don’t know how to. More annoying is the blinking screen in my mind that just said

I honestly don’t understand what it means or what it was trying to say it seemed bugged, wen i looked around now that that barrier is gone I can see my screen or whatever it is, my soul i guess and I touch it with my tendril it feels slightly tangible also for some reason my tendril has been less see through after i ate that barrier, when I touch the screen i feel like i can force it to scan me, i also feel like i can decode the errors though it may take some time
