Where am I? It’s pitch-black no matter where I look? Am I blind?! How did that happen, what was I doing I think I was just laying in bed? I should try to learn about my surrounding.

I attempt to move my arms; I can't, but yet I feel resistance. I push against using something like a limb; I don't know, but I know it's not my arms, my legs, maybe?

I push and push and PUSH! The resistance gives, but nothing else changes. I pushed through the spot where I broke the resistance.

And slide through.

[Congratulations, Welcome to your alternative life]

Huh, who was that, she sounds nice, very robotic, but strangely familiar, like too familiar I should recognize who this is. Wait, can you repeat what you just said?

[...] No response, m'kay.

[Your Soul has been chosen for transfer, please use your new body well.]

Wait, what?! So I didn't hear wrong?! I must be hallucinating. Yes, that is the only logical explanation, I must have gotten drugged by someone, but who would drug me. I mean, ME?! I don't even have any money, and my parents are dead, who would ever want to kidnap me?! Out of all the people, you could kidnap it's me, geez?!

I flop out of wherever I was and I can see now, well at least partly and without any color. My vision also seems to be a bit larger than usual, but maybe it's just the drugs.

Mmm, no it is not the drugs, as I can blurrily make out the weird fleshy egg sac that I came out of. Eww, that looks gross, I was in there?! I can see around me but only about 3 meters anything past that is just black.

And Brhh, why is it so cold in here, I feel like I'm in winter naked?

[Your new species name is Suctioner Hatchling]

Oh, your voice warms me a little, disembodied robot lady. But would you care to elaborate?

[...]

No, m’kay… WHAT THE FLIP FLAPPIN' SNAPSHOT BEANS DO YOU MEAN MY SPECIES HAS CHANGED?! I AM A HUMAN, H-U-M-A-N! Say it with me!

I quickly look myself over to make sure that my species has not changed. But, it is rapidly becoming less likely the longer this goes on. I can’t see myself directly, but I can sense where my eyesight comes from and I exert that to determine what I look like. Not a particular human-like process now that I think of it.

But I can determine that I am a ball with little suction appendages. I look like a virus if it got ballooned to well at least seeable size, I don't know how big I am. But besides that.

OH GOD WHY, WHY AM I A CREEPY LITTLE DISGUSTING BALL OF FLESH?!

*schlink*

Wha… what was that I could feel the vibrations against my new appendages and where it came from but, I don't see anything.

I put focus toward where it came from and I still don't see anything!

*schlink*

A large whitish appendage slams onto the ground and locks in place, the little sucker part could easily fit my entire body. My entire ball body cramps like a deer in headlights. Another appendage comes and another and another until I see a much larger ball body with many appendages around the body as it comes directly toward me.

I start running err rolling, no matter, my life is at stake all that matters is I get the heck out of here! Unlike a human though who doesn't know if they are getting further away from their chaser, I do. A blessing and a curse in my opinion as I can clearly, tell that I am not escaping that sucky ball.

As it gets closer, I can tell that each appendage is not only sucking the ground, but also digging into it as it leaves bite marks on the ground, but you know small details. As I book it at maximum output, my stamina drains from my body as I roll at turbo speed. I’m not fast enough, and I end up getting squished and picked up by that monster ball.

My body ends up being squished into the ground literally as I get repeatedly get rolled into the air and back into the rocky ground. I use my vision to look around, and I see many other white balls in the monster’s grasp that look oddly the same shape as me right now. I then realized...

[You have gained one Biomass.]

Well, It was then I realized that those were my brothers. And guess who mother was?!
