Monster Evolution

"If I Eat and drink this would I still be human?" I questioned

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. WHAT A FOOLISH QUESTION!', The voice rediculed.

I thought for a while if I could do this. Eating human flesh is something that cannibals and monsters only would do. Every second the pain is becoming unbearable and I don't think I could last much longer. Being a monster may take away my status as being normal and weird things may happen now and then. It's like the logic of this world is going upside down. The last thing on this earth I want to be is being a monster! I may get hunted and captured. Be experimented by unknown weird and perverse people whose joy is dissecting me. The thought made mark shiver in fear.

'Be quick, Time is running out or you may die from the backlash of having failed your awakening.' The voice reminded me.

I walked towards the cauldron and weakly grabbed the flesh of the dead person. The scene made me want to puke and I am having second thoughts of what I am going to do. I bit a little piece of it and chewed slowly. It made me want to puke mentally but my body told me to eat more. The taste was heavenly and it was not what I thought it was. I chowed down like I was eating junk food. Drank the blood like I was having soup.

'I must be going out of my mind for doing this.'

The voice told me after eating and drinking from the cauldron that to eat more human beings so I could raise my power. It was like eating humans became the spirit stones that would cultivate my body to become stronger. I would become a murderer and everyday I would go hungry if I wouldn't eat any humans. So I asked if I could eat animals instead of humans.

"Are animals okay to eat instead of human flesh?" couldn't help saying it aloud.

Maybe in the long run I could get used to it but for now it made me feel sick and I'm not a cold-blooded murderer on the hunt for food like some hunter in the night.

'Animals gives you energy and it does strengthen your body by a bit but it does not compare to the humans nutritional supplement that a monster devours from it. As a monster devours human flesh we absorb the spiritual energy and transform it onto our own.'

The explanation gave me a clear view why humans were valuable to a monsters diet. Humans have been able to cultivate their bodies and it made me think how did humans get spiritual energy. If this world has monsters in it perhaps there are humans who are like gods that could kill monsters too.

'I must be careful in the future'. Mark mused.

He did not feel pain anymore after consuming all inside the cauldron. Instead he felt that there was something moving around inside his body and he did not know what it was.

'You are indeed talented for acquiring a sentient blood after awakening'. The voice said.

'Sentient blood? This thing moving inside me is sentient blood? What weird blood is inside me to be moving on it's on?' Mark questioned.

'It means that you are not pure-blood descendant of me. It is strange that I have woken up when you are in the process of awakening as I only wake when a true descendant awakens.' The voice was pondering over something that he could not remember for he was only a remnant of spiritual energy hidden deep inside the blood of his descendants. Spiritual energy are miraculous for they can be used in many purpose. Mark didn't even know the wondrous things that he can do when he will embark on his journey of slaughter and murder in the future.

The sentient blood stopped moving around his back and he thought that his back would be strengthened for some reason. He did not even know what would happen in the future if he transforms and there may something weird in his back.

Mark identified himself as a werewolf. His father that he saw the other night was similar to a wolf. He came to a conclusion that I must be a werewolf.

"Ancestor, May I know your name?" Mark asked.

'Long'. Answered in a proud tone.

'Long?'. This ancestor of mine has a weird name. Must be some ancient way of naming somebody. His siblings must have names that are similar to his. I imagined their names to be derived from measurements like short, large and small. I had a confused look on my face.

'Idiot! My name translates to dragon! I came from the almighty lineage of dragons that roam the western sky of ancient times.' The voice was angry as he could understand what mark was thinking.

I was even more confused as my ancestor was a dragon and not a werewolf as he predicted. 'How come he is a dragon?'

After a while, the awakening was over and the voice did not answer him anymore. There was no pain coming everywhere from his body. There was a lot of question on my mind that I wanted to ask.

I did not know how many hours have already passed since I ate and drank from the cauldron. I thought that it was only minutes and not hours have passed but when he came out from the shed it was night time.

He observed his surroundings and was shocked that he could clearly see more better at night. It was like he had gained night vision but much more better because it was not all green but clear as like it was daytime. He did not know that as he gained the ability to see better at night he decreased his ability to see clearly at day. There was disadvantages and not all was clear to him yet.

He walked around and he was excited of what more his body could do. He tried to jump to see if there was some improvement. He gained a bit of height than his previous jumps in the past. He was disappointed that not all of his body was improved that he imagined it to be. He decided to stop of what he was thinking to do.

He decided to jog in the mountain trail and trot towards the peak. He felt that his endurance improved significantly. He may have become a super athlete he thought after awakening but he did not know that he was much more than that! A monster. What are monsters? They are creatures in myths that have supernatural abilities and have abnormal physique that surpasses that of any normal human.

He tried to transform himself but to no avail. He did not know and the voice did not teach him how. He concluded that in the future it may come to him naturally. He was still young and there were a lot of time.

He walked back sneakily inside his house as he was out for a while and perhaps he would be seen and was questioned what was he doing in the middle of the night. Inside his room, he did not stop thinking of the future. He imagined it to be full of danger as there could be hunters from the humans. Monsters may be myth to some but there are those who knew their existences. It would be good to be cautious and not to stand out. It would be good to keep a low profile.

He lied down on his bed. He thought about tomorrow. Would he start killing humans for food and how would he do it so no one could find out. Tomorrow was Monday and it was time for school again which he hated attending. As he thought that it was a waste of time.

He closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

In the morning, he was suddenly alarmed and woken up by his phone knowing it was his alarm to wake up and time to go attend school. He immediately washed himself and changed his clothes. He entered the kitchen and ate what was served by the servants for breakfast. He was then escorted by Steven by driving him to school as he had a history of cutting classes.

Mark was pampered and spoiled since he was a child and he grew up making trouble for everybody. It was a 40-minute drive towards the city and Steven asked him if he was alright.

"I'm perfectly fine and I feel great for some reason." He smiled and answered cheerfully. He thought that Steven may perhaps be a monster of some sort and he was asking because of what happened Saturday night.

After driving for nearly an hour because of traffic, they arrived at school. Mark did not have the greatest memories in this school of his. He had lots of enemies that constantly bully him because they thought that they were richer than mark. Many petty people attend this school, he thought.

They would often go around the school and flaunt how they're rich than everyone else.

He recalled that it would be annoying all day if he would encounter Ryan's gang inside the campus. Ryan was the son of some rich CEO that was the head of group of corporations and was followed by his fellow minions of similar status that was connected to his father's group. They were arrogant and would not take no as an answer.

He made his way towards his room. It was 2-A. He was in the prime section as he had good grades last year which did not surprised him as he was proud of his own intelligence. Unlike some of those good-for-nothing schoolmates of his.

He opened the sliding door and found that everybody was there already and he was the last person to arrive. He walked towards his chair and couldn't stop noticing the goddess of the school. He sat down and imagined himself together with Rose. Rose was his ultimate crush and since last year he liked her that much. Since the first day he laid his eyes on Rose he could not stop thinking when he was at school.

Rose was very beautiful and she has this snow-white skin that made other girls feel envious. She had a cold personality and everybody thought that made her thorny. Nobody tried to get close to her as they were afraid of the wrath of everybody who liked her. They came with a rule that she would not be tainted and be left untouched.

Class started and everybody listened to the teacher. Mark listened attentively as he was the second in grades after Rose. He tried to beat her and show her who's the man. He couldn't help the fact that someone was looking at him and he felt weird why. His instinct told him that there was danger. He look around the classroom only to find out that Rose was looking at him.

He was confused. 'Was she looking at me?'. Mark thought.

The weird sensation disappeared after that. He connected the dots that Rose may have something to do with what he felt. He recalled some of the novels he read in the web that it was similar to killing intent.

'Rose wanted to kill me?' Mark mused.

'She must be an enemy or perhaps another monster?' He acted like normal and his face did not change. He did not make any sudden movements that may alarm the other party because he was not sure if Rose was the one emitting killing intent.

At noon, Rose walked towards him and asked him to see her after class on the rooftop.

Everybody in the classroom was shocked because of the event that had happened. Their goddess was confessing to some guy and the news spread like wildfire to every corner of the school.

Everybody questioned, "WHO THE FU*K IS MARK HOWLER?"
