Sooooo…
I am now a crab… a 16 year old boy named Astam Crabum… who is now a crab?
First things first, i need to check my senses.
Sight, blurry but yes.
Hearing, yes.
Smell, yes.
Touch, yes.
Taste, i don't have anything to eat right now but i can always check later.
Wait?
Are the rocks moving?
It's not surprising that i can't really see that clearly considering i've only been a crab for a minute or two, but if i'm a crab then i'm most likely not the only one here.
Siblings?
Should i even really be calling them that?
Well i am a crab but i still have the mind of a human boy.
*static*
wha-

(Come here.)
WAIT who was that?!
As i look around i realise that i didn't actually hear it from any certain location, but instead… all around?
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Telepathy?
Well i mean this is another world, maybe supernatural things like that are the norm here.
(Come to me my children.)
Children?
Im gonna take a guess and say that big grey blob i'm looking at is my mother and she is also the one communicating to me.
Im also guessing that the only reason i can hear her is because we are connected by blood.
I once again look around and see many little grey blobs scurrying past me and swarming my mother.
Deciding that my only way of survival is by blending in, i follow in their steps and head towards mother.
*CRUNCH*
A deafening silence filled my mind.
She's… eating?
Eating what?
She's eating her own damn children?!
What a sicko!
Why would she do that-
(Feast children.)
I hear multiple crunches and snaps in fast succession.
Brilliant.
My new family after being reincarnated are firstly, CRABS, but now CANNIBLES?!
*crunch*
OW, hey what was that for!..
My leg.
He just ate my leg.
Damn.
It hurts.
It hurts like hell.
I can't move.
Why can't i move.
It hurts.
Have i fallen over?
As my mind raced i thought back to my dad, he suffocated me with his own boring hobby and made me lose half my life with those stupid fishing trips.
I was just a bug- no a crab to him, just to play with until he got tired and threw away.
Why am i thinking of this now of all times… how naive of me.
Am i dying?-
No.
I can't die here.
Not now.
I want, or i need to live my life to the best.
With my pride and rage clenched tightly into my metaphorical hand, i stood up with my 7 functioning legs and pushed myself into my brethren, snipping his arms off with my disproportionate claws and taking a deep chomp out the top of his head, Killing him.
*Chewing*
*gulp*
YUMMY!
I completely forgot the taste of crab was this delicious!
After finishing off my brother in 4 bites, i went to my next sibling on my right already feasting on a dead crab, and in a glutton driven ride, gobbled them up.
I then did this 8 more times until i was full and satisfied.
Man i hope i don't get food poisoning from all this raw meat-

Whoah!
It's that voice again!
A whole 2 new skills huh.. i must be pretty darn strong then!
hehehehe!
Slight problem though… the sun is setting and my visibility is getting lower, i should probably find somewhere to rest and recollect myself.
