POV Mark

Well, that was stupid of me. Sigh, why did I react like that in the first place?

Now I have got an unpleasant apology to do.

Aside from that, I noticed that my control over my emotions has diminished greatly since the change.

That means that I will have to try and regain the level of control I had previously. One more thing on my to-do list I guess.

Still, my sister could at least try to be a bit more considerate. I mean, how the hell can she even think that accepting this change is gonna be easy. How would she like it to become a boy?

No stop that Mark. That's just your bitterness speaking. She just did what she thought was for the best. You don't have to like it. Just don't get worked up.

Sigh, ok so what now? There isn't much I can do at the moment and I don't want to go downstairs yet,

I guess I could go and see what is going on on the internet. I bet there are all kinds of new conspiracy theories and stuff going around. It's also going to be very interesting to see how the various religions are going to react to this.

Who knows, maybe it turns out that some high ranking member of the Vatican has some demon blood. That's going to be very interesting.

While thinking about all the possible news and theories that could be on the internet, I started my PC.

It didn't take long for it to start up. I entered my password. Luckily, I could still type, if I barely use any force at all that is. Using my mouse proved to be a bit more difficult though. My first few tries left some shallow gashes on it.

Browsing through the net, there really were all sorts of crazy stories.

Already, there were guys who proclaimed they met the gods, that the system mentioned. There were some who wrote of their new "epic" powers and how they would become great sages, knights or heroes in the future. Others wrote of what they could now accomplish with their enhanced bodies. How even they as some average Joey could break bricks easily or how they now were as fast as top athletes.

The more interesting ones were the ones who didn't delve into delusions though. There was some American strong arm who now was able to lift things with 1 arm when he needed both of them previously. There were guys who really liked weapons and now they were able to pull off some moves that you usually only see in movies it anime.

Some people also decided to do something like a documentary on all the changes they and their friends have.

The guys of "Men at arms" tested out the weapons that previously were too heavy to wield them properly and were surprised at the results.

And the more intellectual guy had nearly eternal discussions about mana, the gods, Gaia, mana beasts, monsters and the evil as well as fallen gods. What could they be? What is their goal? How will that influence us? Are some of the folklore or the myths true? If there are gods, then what religion was right or was even one of them right? What is possible with the use of mana? How will society develop from now on? Will the countries be able to keep the order, when all the criminals became superhumans? Will guns still be effective? Will they work when monsters and mana beasts start to appear? And the list went on and on.

Seriously there was just so much stuff, way too much to grasp it all properly.

What I was more interested in though, were the videos and posts of people who awakened their heritage. I wanted to know what other races there were and what kind of problems they have already noticed.

I noticed very soon though that there were basically none others that had changes as extreme as mine. Or at least, among the ones who decided to post about their changes, there were none.

3 of the typical fantasy races appeared the most often among the posts. They were the elves, the dwarves, and the beastmen. The beastmen came in a great variety. Basically, any of the mammals existed as beastmen as well. While some of the rarer cases were the likes of lizardmen or the harpies.

And while some of the more stranger ones like dryads or demons as well as some mixed blood were there, I didn't find anyone who was similar to me. I mean I expected as much, considering my titles but I still hoped that there would be someone.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

So in conclusion, I can say that at the moment, I am the only one I know that has changed this drastically.

But still, there's just so much stuff going on. Reddit's servers are nearly crashing from all the people on it. Snapchat and the likes are also jammed with people taking videos and pictures constantly.

Honestly because of the excitement felt by the people, I don't think it will go down anytime soon.

"Mark, dinner is ready."

"Eh... yeah, I'm coming."

I didn't even notice that my brother opened the door. Looks like I got a bit too absorbed.

While going downstairs, I noticed that there were some deep scratches on the stairs that fit the claws on my feet perfectly.

Oops

It appears that I didn't pay any attention at all when I was running upstairs to escape my sister.

"Calmed down?"

My father stood in the hallway. He was a bit worried about me, it seems.

"Yeah, I did. Sorry, I just lost my cool for a moment."

"Don't worry, it's not something you should think too much about. Besides, I'm not the one who you should apologize to."

"Yeah"

I entered the kitchen. My sister sat in her usual seat on the right side. Her expression was slightly sullen.

"Erm Maria? Sorry about before. I just was overwhelmed by the situation and needed to vent my stress somewhere. I'm sorry."

Her expression quickly brightened.

"Ahaha don't worry. I also pushed you a bit too hard."

I nodded to her and sat down.

I just noticed this but... was the smell of meat always this intensive and delicious. I don't think it was like this before.

"Hey Mark what's wrong? Calm down will you? You nearly hit me just now."

Huh?

I look behind and see that my tail is swinging around vigorously. It seems that the smell git me pretty exited without me even knowing.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't even notice. It's just that the meat smells so good."

My father made a confused face.

"It's just the schnitzel from yesterday though. There isn't anything special about it."

"That doesn't matter, it smells amazing."

"Well if you say so."

When my father got the pan with the schnitzel, it really was just the schnitzel from yesterday. But what's with this smell?

Our dinner consisted of some schnitzel, potatoes, chopped carrots and some brown sauce.

However...

"Urgh, dad what'd you do to the potatoes? They taste like really bad."

"I didn't do anything to them. Maybe you just got a bad one?"

I nodded.

Maybe it was just a bad one. Thinking so, I decided to leave them for now. Instead,

I decided to leave them for now. Instead, I choose to eat some schnitzel. 

Even while cutting it, I noticed that the smell was even stronger now and I could hardly hold myself back. 

When I bit into it, I couldn't believe that this was a mere schnitzel. The texture was perfect and while there was no meat juice, the meaty taste still somehow spread through my whole mouth. 

It was a completely new experience! You couldn't compare this to just "some meat"! How can some schnitzel even taste this good?!

I greedily devoured the rest if the schnitzel. However, even after eating the whole schnitzel, I was still not satisfied. I just needed more!

"Hey Mark, slow down. You eat like you've been starving to the point of death!"

Apparently, my father found my new and desperate love for meat a bit strange. 

However, when I paid some attention I noticed that I had actually discarded my knife and the fork and started eating with my hands. 

"Dad, how did you get the meat to taste this good? This is the best I've ever eaten."

"Like I said already I didn't do anything with any of it. I just made it like I usually do."

He seemed perturbed that I suddenly found potatoes disgusting and had a crazy love for meat. 

Sure I always liked meat but it wasn't to this extent. So this was a bit strange to him.

"Could it be related to your race change?"

My sister also seemed to have wondered what was going on and came up with a possible answer.

"Well, maybe. I don't really know what I turned into after all."

But it still is possible that my race has influenced what I find tasty. Or more like, it changed my taste buds. 

"If that's the case then we need to figure out how it changed."

"I think judging by the fact that she seemed to dislike potatoes and loves meat I would say that it's similar to that of carnivores." 

"How about you try the carrots and see if they also taste bad."

I took some carrots and...

"Ugh, they are even worse."

I don't think I have the vocabulary to describe this kind of taste. I just don't wanna eat again.

"So that means that I will have to make more meat meals from now on. After all, I doubt you will eat vegetables or fruits at all if they taste this bad."

"So the changes are even more than what I had thought, huh? This sucks. I don't even properly know myself."

"Now, now it isn't that bad. Also, we will work this out somehow. Besides we all changed race, so we are in similar situations."

I just nodded. 

Suddenly, all our phones vibrated. 

My father quickly checked and his brows creased after a short while.

When my sister checked hers I also looked at her screen. I don't want to scratch my phone with my claws after all.

There was a message from the news.

President of the USA, Donald Trump officially stated his opinion on the recent changes:

"We will have to adapt to this new situation. The military, as well as the FBI and CIA, should react with strong measures to make sure no big problem occurs. In my eyes, at the moment we should pay the highest attention to the stability of our country even at the cost of some individuals."

Jesus Christ can that guy make at least one smart decision at least once! Are all the advisors and ministers just for show?!
