"Of course I know that's not possible, at least not in my current condition." John spoke to himself as he watched the creature. Suddenly the weird buff guy turned around to sit on the sofa giving John an angle that made him wish he could throw up.

"System is suicide possible?"

[No]

With a soft thud the buff dude sat down and within mere moments afterwards turned the TV on. John had a view of the TV but decided to ignore it at he wanted to check himself out.

"Ignoring my actually being a box, my ability to see is quite odd. I can see in all directions including the floor under me. Sight goes about 20ft before it becomes blurry. I wonder if I can….?" Suddenly John decides to see if he can actually view inside of himself and surprisingly or unsurprisingly, he can! Unfortunately, he's not exactly too happy with it.

"I can stand the fact that I am a box but why did this ape put socks in a box!? Even worse there's a fucking spider in it!" As if the fact that he had socks inside of himself wasn't bad enough. He had a damn spider inside of him and it had made a web around the socks.

[Start digestion?]

"Thanks but that is a lot of information to take in. And would I even gain anything from absorbing some socks and a spider?"

[Try and figure it out dumbass]

Suddenly John heard something very interesting to himself coming from the TV.

"And so it ends an era of terror that was the man John Rose. We've gotten word that yesterday he was put to death via lethal injection and then buried in the rural cemetery nearby. Since then multiple people have come to see his grave and promptly also spit, piss, and defile it in all manner of ways. Our hearts here at the station go out to families of his victims including those of the parents of the multiple children he had slaughtered."

John decided not to listen anymore as he realized, "I died yesterday?" And it was at that moment he had a bigger realization. "I died yesterday and these fuckwits are already disrespecting the dead? If only these dipshits realized that I'm not dead and that I'm actually still alive. Then again, that's a good thing they don't know I'm reborn since I'm pretty sure that while at least injection won't kill me again somebody with some matches easily could."

"And here is some live footage of John Rose's grave site being completely defiled by what looks to be families of his victims. We have found some information that will help bring to light some of his past that we will share for all of you."

"What exactly could they show off my history that is going to be shocking? Are they going to start with my mother? About how she was a prostitute that took any Tom Dick or Harry that came to her door? Or are they going to talk about how after I turned 12 years old I strangled her with a telephone cord after she "sold" me to a pervert for night just so she could feed her pill addiction? Aww don't tell me they're going to talk about Little Timmy? All I did was drown him after that little shit drew flowers on my door. His mother though now that was good lay. She screamed and she begged for me to stop which would have worked had she not been gagged. It's so sad I had to get rid of her."

"A couple of the things we have found include his mother about how she was a woman of the night. And according to many sources she did this only so she could feed him and raise him. Which she did for 12 years but unfortunately it seems she pimped him out and in return he strangled her to death. We've also found how anywhere he went there were many cases of rapes and children being brutalized but without anyone being found guilty. This is only a small part of what will be in a special coming out later in the week until then I bid you a good day."

John was speechless for a moment. That was all they did? And it was such a lackluster way of saying what part of the childhood was? They didn't even go over the gang that raised him. I mean sure they were all killed by him in the end but they did raise him.

"Well then I guess it's time I devour something and see if I can't get any ability from something. Although I don't know what a spider give me…. or socks. I swear it better not be a scent ability."
