[Welcome, Lai.]
From the deep nothingness of that dark place came a greeting, a weird voice from which I couldn't distinguish gender or origin. I felt as if floating in water but no substance along my skin, all but a feeling of dump and hot moisture enveloping from head to toe.
Weird, I do feel this place is dark, but its like my eyes are closed as well. I do try to open them with my hands just to notice I cant move them, actually I can't even feel them!! Same for the legs.
God, what happened?! Did someone kidnap me and take my organs? Who would steal my arms and legs?? Was it some obscure black market from the deep web? Damn I knew I should've used VPN on those links...
[You have died.]
Oh, well that's better, I was just freaking right now with those random...
WHAT!??!?!?!!??!?
Oh god it's EVEN WORSE!
Whats gonna happen now? Am I in hell? Is this god? But which one?? Dammit I should have done more charity back in the days...
What do you mean I died, mysterious disembodied voice? And why do I feel a little deja vu right now? Is this the part where you show my misdeeds before the final destination of this pure soul of mine?
I swear my browser history wasn't that bad… please dont look it up, just say the verdict, we really don't need to check on that, you know, so many viruses and weird pop-ups on that damn Internet, right?
[Be calm, you will soon awaken, to experience life again in a new world.]
Oh that's not that bad, so I get a new chance, like those weird baby movies from the 90s! Or those copy-pasted mass products and horribly overrated isekai mangas.
Oh my, so I'll be reborn as a savior, a hero of this afflicted land bestowing divine boons to fight evil!
[You will be reborn on the world of Pangera.]

Well, isn't that a-m-a-z-i-n-g, i got isekaed into another world to live another chance as an overpowered main character!
YEAH!
But why cant I look at my surroundings? I know I'm in another place, no longer listening to that weird voice, but even so everything is just black. I can feel my heart beating fast as the same with my lungs expanding and retracting, filling my blood cells with oxygen so my muscles can work strained to maximum….
Wait a minute… I am no bio major to know stuff like that, and why does this information come flooding my mind? I myself am not moving to have my body show this behavior.
Weird, it feels like I am just static, enveloped in some hot dump blanket, like I am completely covered. All I can move really is my mouth, my ORAL SUCKER as this system so says. I do try using it since its my only part that moves at all, it works like a tongue really, small and slow but enough to give me the tiniest bit of agency.
And with my little sucker I feel where I am landed on, it feels like a pulsating wall of spongeous mass a bit hard and really moist, I do feel something akin to taste, but not quite. My mouth gives me information that whatever I am standing on is quite "proper", if I can translate this weird sense I am getting. I stay blindly feeling the place with my tongue all over until I notice that there is not really much to do here since I can't move. I try to bite the thing I am on with my mouth, but oh boy if missing teeth can make things harder, in the end I just get to suckle on it, like, with my ORAL SUCKER.
God, I should've avoided some of those websites, huh…
To my surprise I heard that voice talking to me again.
[Extraction process initiated: 0%]
Oh.
[Warning! It is ill advised to stop extraction amidst its process otherwise all progress will be lost and repercussions may incur].
Oh, just as I was dislodging my mouth from whatever I am nibbling on. Well What can I do here at all if not just sucking, so I continue doing so. A few minutes pass before I check on it again
[Extraction process initiated: 10%]
Hmmm, I feel like some strange mining unit from an RPS game. Well it's like I have anything else to do, so I just continue doing whatever my weird mouth is doing right now.
[Extraction process initiated: 20%]
[You have extracted 1 point of Biomass]
Oh, so I got something from it huh. So… what is it useful for? By its name it means something biological in nature and the "mass" bit would imply that it's used to build or add itself for something?
Hmm… the system doesn't give me an explanation of what this resource is for, and I really don't know where is it at all, like, I got it from my mouth so it's inside me, right?
Anyways, I stay doing my stuff here until it reaches 80%, it takes a whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiile, but we get to it, 2 more biomass to the tank, its looks like every 20% I get something, huh.
A little bit more until my task has been finished.
[Extraction process initiated: 100%]
[You have extracted 1 point of Biomass]
[Warning, additional extraction may prove harmful to the body, further progress is ill advised]
Oh, interesting, the system is giving me warnings, well better not do anything stupid here, if things blow up its not like I can run away. But it doesn't leave me much to do either...
Hey system, can you tell me about those skills? What does this Forced Homeostasis do?
[Forced Homeostasis:
The subject can forcefully share their state with another, this can as well serve to utilize the user's senses from the primary user obliges the other to be on an equal footing in cognitive abilities among the participants of this link. The specifics of what will be divided among the participants are at the discretion of the main user.]
Hm, that's a bit dense, let me read it carefully…
So… it lets me share senses between me and someone else. But who would it be? Do I need to name someone? Oh well, there is only one way to do that.
Forced Homeostasis ACTIVATE!
Please assign subject:
* Tri-pointed Spinosaurus ( )
Okay, so I can connect with a dino? Isnt it unusual, well lets-a-go!
When I activated my skill it was like my brain was flooded with information, temperature, vision, smell and sounds, all at the same time. I realized it was really hard to have all of them active at the same time so I turned off most of them except vision.
Well it was considerably blurry and foggy, but I got to finally see something, and it was horrifying. Before me laid a carnage, dozens of what looked like dinosaurs with 3 spikes on their torsos being butchered by enormous ants, they weren't bigger than their foes, but goddamn if a dog sized ant is scary. They were cutting pieces of meat from the fallen dinos and carrying it over their heads, all of that amidst a pool of cooling blood and entrails clearly one sided from the dinos, yup, stuff of nightmares.
One ant looked in our direction, I saw its antennae twitch, it got closer to me, like measuring us with its claws until it shook its head and went its way along with all the severed parts from their victims.
The dino quickly went his way, fleeing rather quickly until it stumbled on a writhing mess of legs. The thing was already fighting another foe, we couldn't see, but it was furry.
The little guy I was using to take a look focused his eyes along the carapace of the multi legged thing in front of us aaaaaaand…
BACKSTAB!
