Boom Boom Boom Boom.What is the this booming sound.I’m trying to sleep!Crack! There was the sound of glass breaking and I felt myself falling down.

“Ugh”

Feeling pain in my back.Wondering what the fuck is happening I try to open my eyes.But it is hard and I feel sticky all over. Then I felt like I heard a voice in my mind then a second then a third,forth,fifth and then ten,fifty, hundred and then it started hurting like hell I felt my mind splitting. What is going on?

After I asked myself that I felt the voices climb thousand times faster.Stop.Please stop.The pain. stop. Stop. Stoop. STOP. STOOOP.

“STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP”

And all quieted down like nothing happened.Like all the pain was a lie.Was it a lie? I feel my mind is blank at the moment , it's kind of nice peaceful. Trying to open my eyes is hard it's like they are stuck together with something. So using my hand I try to scrape whatever it is of them but that just adds more on top as my hand were covered in it too.

It took a while to clear my eyes but looking around it was not a pretty sight. Not that it was that bad but it did not bring me pleasure. All over the floor there was a white sticky substance and being all over of course it was all over me. Reminding me of something that I would not like to be covered with. And being such does not feel good. Being in this quantity covering at least 4 meters in diameter it surely isn’t what it's reminding me of but still I don’t even want to think its name for I shall barf the next second.

Ignoring the unwanted things and widening my view what I see is a crystal as big as two grown man split in two on either side of me. It was hollow with purple coloring and split in the middle. Each piece was hanging from pillar that was at least two meters tall.

Trying to get up for a better vantage point slipping about and almost falling a few times I finally get up. Looking around i see that I am in some kind room. Not very big 5x5 m. The room being pure white, except the crystal, is hard on the eyes especially since I feel like I haven’t used them in a while. Unexpectedly they adapt faster they I thought they would.

Ah! There is something else besides the crystal its whitish or is it transparent either way it was hard to see with sensitive eyes. It's a ball , reminds me of the crystal balls that psychics use. It was on something like a table but it had one leg and the table surface was just a little bigger than the ball itself.

That was everything I could see no door, no window and no lights.Ah! How can I see if there are no lights. Looking around confirming that there is no source of light but it is bright in here. Observing closer I see that it is the walls that are the source of light. Fuck I’m in a real white room. Heard somewhere they are used for torture. No if that was it, there wouldn’t be any other things in the room except me.

Waiting for something to happen but nothing does. So I wait some more. Surely something will happen. So I wait. One minutes, two minutes , three minutes , ten minutes , half an hour then an hour. I’m getting bored even I would lose my patience after so long. I don’t even know how I lasted.

Doing the only thing available for me to do I approach the crystal ball. Standing before it and eyeing it closer. It is transparent. So what do I do now? Lets try touching it. Nothing bad could happen right? What's the worst result? I die?

“Pfft”

I almost laughed. I held it in. I apologize to all that have died. Even I think it’s bad to laugh at death. Maybe. Whatever. AH! Now that I think about it wasn’t I dying? What happened? Did I survive? Highly unlikely. Then what ? Did the simulation end? No, that doesn’t make sense. If it was some kind of simulation I would have memories before it and even if it looks like I slept in that crystal shouldn’t it be some kind of techno pod.

AHHHH! Too many questions not enough clues to go by.So first touch this stupid ball. It's obvious that it placed there for that sole reason. And go! Mhm? Nothing thats strange I was sure something would happ----.

“AAAAAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGAG”

________________________________________________________________

Ughh! What the fuck happened.Calm down..Calm down Breath in , breath out. Seems like I passed out. From what? Answer: information overload. Apparently the crystal ball was some kind of memory device or more apt name is a memory magic artifact. How!? Breath in, breath out. OK why am I being surprised that I know this. It's in the name of the fucking artifact.

OK , first things first.This is a different world. So for the time being sort out the most important information. Where is this? The name appears to be Last Hope. Why Last hope? Basically it was literally their last hope. Whose? The race known as Incubus. Ugh! The information is all jumbled up I should go chronological.

So supposedly there was a race named Incubus. Closest relative being the Succubus. Why not the same race? That is a question debated. It is said that they are the same race but yet not and that stems from the way they feed. Succubi a being that feeds on the essence or seed of a male and Incubus that feeds on the emotion and desire. Though that only applies on the lowest of the low in both races almost without any consciousness and going by base desire either to feed or pleasure.Higher ranked ones have no need for that but can become stronger faster if they do.

They being a race dependent or mostly reliant on others to survive they have developed and evolved in the way of controlling people be it by desire or other ways. But they had taught themselves immortal and invincible. Which is almost always no the truth and had began expanding their race without abandon before long they were one of the biggest empires know.

That being said and showing no stopping in their expanding all other races, kingdoms and empires were mildly said frightened. So an alliance was formed between everything and everyone. Past enemies became brothers in arms. But the Incubus knew nothing of it with their overflowing pride just continued to do theirs and paid no mind to anyone else.

Imagine how surprised they were when at their borders there was an allied army that the incubus and succubus empire's population can’t number a tenth of. At that I could only pity them and how stupid they are.

That being said the outcome was obvious and from there came project Last Hope. Previous name being The Perfect Being. So their proudest project that continued for thousands of years became their last straw that they could hang on.

The project being me. Imagine that. What it basically entails is selective breeding for the sole purpose of forced evolution and The Perfect Being as the project states. The result being me, left in the middle of nowhere in a some kind incubation crystal.

That is all that I needed to know. So it was like that. Other useful information is how to use my natural abilities and skills. I remember something about skills. So I search in myself and there it is. Mmm? What's that it looks like it being suppressed by something. Why? It's like it is trying to claw out. So I let it.

“Ugh”

It was the voices again but this time there was no gradual climbing it was like being hit by a truck. Suppress it . Suppress it. Ok. Success. That was painful. This time I let just a little bit out. And I feel it. It is not voices it just unprocessed information being slammed in my mind. So this is similar to the information overload while back. Just coming from inside me.

Is there a way to get the information somehow processed? YES! It was like a baseball thrown at the highest speed right at my head. Ugh. Preparing myself I ask ‘How?’ Boom it was akin to being slammed with a sledge-hammer. But still an answer came. It being follow your instincts.

Well sheesh thanks. Still I do as told? Can't really categorize that being told something. Nevertheless trying to do it turned out easier than imagined. Well following your instinct should be instinctual. Ugh redundancy at its best.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Following that I find out interesting information. Apparently the voices as I called them is just information gathered by my instincts with the skill [Primal Instincts]  and being force-fed to me without a filter. Now applying the filter it being skill [Unshakable Mind] I have easy access to information I should usually not have.

Such as [Primal Instincts] not being a real unique skill yet at the same time is. With that I mean is that every primal or first of every species gets it but it has different effect on every creature. If a species is powerful to begin with, it unlock every instinct that it could ever have and it could become a peerless monster. But if it was a weak to begin with it may not have access to many instincts so that being said it would be just average.

Well me being the pinnacle of a race that was already there you can imagine what that means. What I don’t like is that I may have gone insane if I did not have [Unshakable Mind]. It the price for being the top I guess other species at most be more loyal to their instinct but me I would just be a bundle of it and nothing else.

It seems that I am a new species that being Incubus Lord or something like that. What that entails I have no clue and [Primal Instincts] can’t answer me that because it is just my subconscious feeding me information. It can’t answer something that it has none of. It may have answers that I could never perceive but it has to get it from somewhere.

All I can get at the moment is that I have superb physical capabilities and all abilities an Incubus should have. Well superb physical capabilities is only based on the knowledge I already have and not in this world but still I should not be wrong the muscle mass on this body is at least two or if not three times as denser than a human.

[Unshakable Mind] is just as it states. A mind impervious to any and all mental affiliations. Meaning mental attacks of any kind would not work on me. The same goes for instincts if they try to tamper with my mind if I don’t let them it is impossible. Mind over body and all that.

The other skills I can guess what they are based on their names only the unique skill [You are Mine] I have only a semblance of what it might be. But at the moment that is not important as I have no need for it at this time.

Now I have to get out of the room. Looking back at the crystal I can only wonder how they made it. It is made that the moment it notices a conscience inside of it would break, anything else it is invulnerable to. The booming sound that I heard were in reality my heartbeat.As for why I heard them so loudly I have no Idea. The solution that I was placed in is some kind of mana liquid that improves the body to the best condition it can but is limited in what it can do. Meaning that the body could be improved with training.

As for getting out of a room without any windows or doors it is simple.Placing my hand at the wall and directing my instincts to do what I want. Feeling hot energy flowing through my body to my hand and into the wall. The whole room disappears the only thing left is a platform with the two columns that held the crystals.Where the room disappeared to I have no idea. As for the hot energy it is of course mana.

I am glad I have [Primal Instincts] because it makes me genius at almost everything I could think of. Maybe it has some limitations but for now I don’t see it. It might have taken me a really long time to get out of the room if not for it.

Looking around I am in the middle of a forest. I really am in the middle of nowhere I thought the crystal ball was kidding. Well that is not a problem with [Primal Instincts] I am literally made for the forest. Not that I would want to waste more time than necessary in it.

Now that I think about it how did the Incubus think I would survive here if I didn’t have my skills or memory. The memory crystal didn’t have any useful battle or survival abilities maybe one or two like charm but would that even work on the beast that I am sure are in this forest. Let’s not think about that.

What I need at the moment I food. I can feel myself starting to starve. I have had no intake of any kind of food since I was born and this is a fully grown body. Somehow the magic liquid kept me in top shape but not that I am out of it I have to find food.

So I let what I can only call scavenger instinct, because its purpose is finding any and all food sources, flow through me. But I don’t let it take over I just let it guide me. Following its directions I maneuver through the trees with ease. At first I doubted I could do it but after five minutes, it just feels natural.

It took more time than I thought but my first find is a mushroom of a kind. Still I go to pick it up wondering if it edible. At that moment several instincts fire up. Things like survival instinct, danger instinct and a few others I don't know. Mm. That’s convenient. Apparently it is poisonous. For now I shall leave it be even though it's not poisonous on touch.

Anyway just a few meters away there is a fruit on a tree that look like an apple just longer. With a hop I propel myself up a branch reach out and seeing there is no indication of anything grab it. Feel so good in this body if I was in my previous one I would have had to climb for at least a minute to reach the fruit.

Going around the forest. Collecting fruit and other edibles in thirty minutes I am full. Everything I ate looked similar to fruits of earth and had similar tastes but had subdue differences. I wonder how that is possible and is everything similar or just some that I have come across. Probably the latter.

Now that I was full. I didn’t know what to do. But thinking along the lines different world and forest , of course I would go to the conclusion beasts. YAY. Let’s go hunt some. I have to learn how fight anyway. If the world is as I think it is. With war being fought and some memories left in the memory crystal. My gut tells me it's a dog eat dog world. Power is justice. And my gut can’t be wrong I have a skill for it.

So thinking of the best way to find worthy prey I let my instinct of danger flow at a controlled pace though me and I feel it. There is something perceived as danger to my right about two hundred meters from here. So of course I head there.

What meets me there is as small group of wolves, couldn’t be called a pack as there are only three of them. Watching them from behind of tree with instinct of the predator on full, maybe I should have forgone the danger one. I watch carefully. Should be able to take them.

Activating the only battle useful ability in the memory crystal - body manipulation, with it I can control my body as I wish. So I extend my nails longer and make them hard with the use of mana, this is basic mana application - body strengthening. Filled with battle Instinct I get ready.

“And let a smile out by instinct. Heh. Worst joke ever. This is going to be fun”

With a smile I leap at the three ferocious looking wolves.

P.S. Fucking hate info dump chapters. Still has to be done and I even skimmed a lot. Sorry about the cliffhanger if it is even such but I am writing at 5 am where I am at. :D

Btw Thx for the review.About the mc. What can I say maybe I didn’t portray it well enough it basically a person that insecure about a lot of things and is self-deceiving himself by placing a “I don’t give fuck about anything” blanket over himself.If you noticed he had [Stable Mind](if that can even be called stable, let's call it some semblance of stability)  before it evolved. Not that it would matter later in the story [Unshakable Mind] just negates those insecurities. The first chap is just there to throw skills at him nothing else :D
