----------------------------------------

“Are you serious? Snort”

As Hydra spoke out loud he uncontrollably started to snort.  Even with the realism of oinking like a pig he still could not believe that he had turned into a pig of all things.  And because he was so surprised he failed to even realize where he was or what was surrounding him.  While he was too busy twirling in a circle failing to give his entire body a look over as if it would change something, a few noises rose in response to his actions.

“Psss… What is he doing?”

“Psss… I don’t know but maybe he hurt his head after that crash.”

“Oh fair enough, well I’ll go let the king know he’s up you stay and make sure nothing happens to him.”

“Will do.”

Although Hydra was trying his absolute best deny the reality, when he heard the conversation between two sources he looked over towards them.  Sure enough what he saw was two pigs.  Two beefy looking pigs with short tails and rough looking hooves.  Their faces were attractive for a pigs face was the only thing Hydra could think of.  However when he heard them talking about him he couldn't help but feel some embarrassment to the situation.  Finally realizing he was a pig for the moment stopped twirling and looked at the pig that stayed behind.  Likewise the pig stared at him.  Without a single word spoken they both stood there awkwardly watching each other's movements.  Hydra was hoping the pig would speak up to him and explain what was happening however to his disappointment the pig only kept watching him in curiosity.  

Hydra could tell the pig was hoping for him to do something weird again for its enjoyment, but now that Hydra knew that there was no way he would stoop to the level of embarrassing himself in front of a pig.  After all it was a pig who wanted to do something such as embarrassing themselves in front of a pig?! A long pause gave arise to many ideas floating through Hydra’s mind.  He knew that the ring transformed him into a pig but of all things he could turn into why the hell did he turn into a pig?

But it was then that he remembered that at the moment before his death there were thousands of pigs in that giant cave area.  Adding in the fact that he had a luck stat, what else would be more perfect than turning into your enemy?!  However such an idea was ridiculous because now he had turned into a monster that others if they saw him would immediately kill him for gold and loot!  Although he didn’t know whether or not it was possible to acquire these things from his body he knew that with the addition of looking like a rare breed of pig he would become a number one target to other users!

The only thankful thing about turning into a pig was that he could continue to play the game, but at this point what could he do?  The moment he realized he was a pig all his skills had been greyed out, which Hydra clearly took as a sign of ‘Can’t use these you’re a pig’.  Depressed he looked to see if he had any equipment on and just as he thought he was naked, and a pig.

‘Great!  Not only am I a pig.  I’m a pig without a weapon armouir and skills.  The best part is that all my stats have been reduced!”

As Hydra brought up the status window he realized that all his stats had been turned into a base number.

The moment Hydra saw his current stats he started to cry profusely, and instead of the regular sounds of crying the only thing that could be heard were a couple of oinks.  Luckily another voice appeared beside him.

“Master!”

As Hydra looked around he noticed that Pan was beside him in his adorable little form, but instead of crying softly like normal he was talking to him!  Although it wasn’t the first time Pan had spoken to him it was only because of the [Guardian] evolution that allowed him to speak the human tongue and now here Pan was speaking to him.  Although he momentarily thought Pan was speaking human but then realized he was no longer human at the moment and was a pig, and thus Pan would speak to him as he was another animal.  

“Pan!  What happened after I died?”

“Well, when master went limp and fell to the ground the pigs madly attacked you.  Although I wished to help  I was immediately grabbed and forced down.  Unfortunately the results were Master’s death.  But the next moment a flash of dark light wrapping around your body and the next thing I knew you were in the form of a pig.”

“Well I expected something like that.  What happened after that?”

“The pigs who attacked you immediately stopped and started to all chatter amongst themselves in confusion as they didn’t know what to do.  It was at that moment that a red-skinned pig came over and took at look at you for a few seconds then roared in the air.  All the pigs only shuddered and immediately picked you up and carried you off.  As I was already unable to fight back they threw me into this room with you.”

Hydra listened patiently to Pan’s explanation.  At the moment  Hydra had no idea what to expect of the future circumstances.  Were the pigs enemy or ally?  After turning from a human into a pig would they trust him if he was an ally?  If not would they just kill him and grill him on stick?  These thoughts ran through Hydra’s mind on numerous occasions however before he had the opportunity to think any longer he heard the sounds of pigs rushing towards him.  When he looked over in the direction of the sound  Hydra noticed that in the lead was a red-Skinned Pig.

This pig was by far much more beefy looking than all the others.  The snout was clearly a lever larger than the other pigs giving a sense of superiority, even Hydra was no different and felt himself inferior to this perfection of a snout.  In fact it wasn’t just the snout even the curve of the pig's hooves were wonderful.  As such Hydra could only stare in amazement towards this pig but unlike all the others around him he didn’t cower in fear.  He was a special pig himself now, as such he had to prove himself towards this king like presence in front of him.  

While Hydra was sizing up the red pig, he too was sizing Hydra up.  As he looked up the black glossy skin of Hydra it couldn’t help but feel insecure at its marvelous curves.  The roundness of Hydra’s body was met with a near perfect spherical shape that would draw in all the lady pigs from the lands over the horizon.  The snout while much smaller than his was powerful and showed no attempt at yielding even slightly!  The red-skinned pig stared at the curly tail that was abnormally longer than usual tails and couldn't help but be envious for a second.  But the red-skinned pig was anything but simple and the moment it felt jealously it tensed up and showed its strength by slamming the ground in front of him.  At the slam of the hooves, the ground around him suddenly caved in and the vibration was felt throughout the entire cave.

Although, no words were spoken Hydra could tell that this pig was confronting him in battle of power.  However as Hydra had no intentions on fighting this red-skinned pig for supremacy he made sure to show his sincerity and started to speak while snorting.

“Hello, I must thank you for saving me back there!  Snort!”

Seeing that the black pig had no intentions on confronting him, the red-skinned pig eased up immediately and gave a smile like expression on its snout.  As he did he responded clearly to Hydra.

“Black one, there is no need to thank me, after all it was our fault for attacking you, as even we did not realize such a powerful illusion magic could be utilized!”

When the red-skinned pig said this a hint of admiration appeared in his voice.  At this moment the red-skinned pig had already turned its hostile approach into one of friendship and with Hydra not confronting him, he no longer was jealous but instead admired Hydra’s ability to hide as a human.  At least this was how the red-skinned pig thought.  He thought that Hydra was originally a pig to begin with!  When Hydra heard this he secretly started to tear up inside.

It was one thing to look like a pig, but for him to now completely be thought of a pig as well was another thing entirely.  A situation that made him only more and more depressed as he heard it.  As all the other pigs started to chatter amongst themselves and they too had witnessed it personally and though it was amazing.  After being embarassed to the maximum level possible Hydra could no longer hold it in any longer and decided to change topics.

“Snort!  I still don’t, snort, know your-

“HOW DARE YOU!”

‘Huh?’

As Hydra was speaking he was immediately interrupted and then couldn’t help but think to himself as he was confused to why he was interrupted.  It didn’t take long for him to receive his answer as a large pig walked out from behind the red-skinned pig.  He was clearly a body guard of some sorts and had a disgusted look on his face when he said.

“How dare you snort in the presence of the king?  Do you think you are a pig or something?  We are [Piglets]!  We are not simple farm for the humans to feast upon!  And here you are, when the King shows his benevolence you dare to insult him!?  I shall turn you into bacon this instant!”

At this Hydra momentarily froze.  Not because he was afraid, but because he almost, like lightning, retorted ‘you are a pig’, luckily Hydra was clearly in a bad spot and didn’t have the courage to incite their anger anymore.  When Hydra noticed that the red-skinned pig had no intentions on stopping the situation, Hydra knew the red-skinned pig was testing him.  However who was Hydra?  He was a person who would shock anyone and turn every expectation of him into something entirely different.  Only when they least expect something would it be effective!  This was Hydra’s reaction.

“WAAAAAAAAAAH!  I’m… I’m so soooo sorry my king… Snort!  But you must forgive this one.  This puny small pig was captured at such a young age,  because I had a rare condition causing my skin to turn black I was captured the moment I left my mother.  The next thing I noticed was that I was brought to this terrible caged area… Snort!  I…  I didn’t want to demean my ancestors!  But…. the humans… Snort!  They every time they would notice me not acting like a pig they would beat me!  It was so terrible…. Snort!  Years went by and fearing being turned into… intoo….. Into….

“...Bacon?”

“AAAAAAHHHHHH THE HORROR!  AAAAHHHHHHH!”

Seeing the frightened black pig he was once intimidated by be so horrified by the word ‘bacon’ he immediately felt rage.  A rage because his kin was beaten, humiliated, and tortured for so long!   He couldn’t help but speak up to calm down Hydra who was wailing and rolling on the ground.

“Young black one, My name is the Porkto!  I am the Piglet King!  Fear not, as now you are a brother and family to us all and  I promise you that we will get revenge and take over this world and show them the power of the Bread God! ”

After speaking Porkto didn't forget to whisper that the word 'bacon' was forever banned in front of this black piglet.

‘Succes- wait what?’

As Hydra was listening to the words that Porkto said he couldn’t help but smile as he was about to succeed in winning over the hearts of the pig.  It was only when Hydra heard the last few bit of the words that he was dumbfound.
