“DELECTABLE” a terrifyingly gruff voice rang loudly through a farmhouse, along with a series of rhythmic clicks. The voice rang out again. “DE-” the voice shifted to a higher pitched, clown-like voice, “-lect-” the voice changed again, to a monotone, robotic voice, “-able,” continuing the clicking all the way through.

Voraci had just gained the ability to mimic voices, and she was busy testing it. She couldn’t come very close to a normal voice yet, and all of the voices had clicks and clacks underlying them, along with strange accents. She resumed eating the burned corpse of a farmer.

WOW, WAS DOING SssOMeTHING AGAIN, YOU GOT ssSMART AND VOCaAL CORDSSssss? YOU TALLLKKKKKSSSS!!!!!

“YES” Voraci shouted out in a slightly hoarse sounding voice which fit her outer appearance well. Voraci had been physically unable to make any noise before this, other than mandible clicks and hammering on other materials. It was great to have a voice.

Voraci made the sound of a roaring fire, and the sound of a woman screaming. She added a crying baby to the mix, but the clicking suddenly grew louder.

It seemed that only so many sounds could be made without the clicking growing lowd. It was a limit she could work with.

OH LOOK LOOK LOOK! PLAINS TRAVELLsssss OPENED! YOU GO WHATEVER WANTSs BECAUSSsss NO HoME!

‘What do you mean?’ Voraci asked through her thoughts, halting the verbal talking because of a strain on her new and very diverse vocal cords.

YOU MEET PALE FLESH, YOU MEEt EON, YOU MEET THE BOX MAN I FORGET NAME OF!!!

JUST ASssssK FOR GET MOVE BETWEEEN PLAAAIINNNSSSssss

‘How about I go to… pale flesh’s plain?’

GOOD CoiSSE! {BOX MAN NAME OLTAN I reMAMBER!}

Voraci fell down through the floor in a sudden moment. She came back out of it upside down, and she landed on her back.

Voraci pulled herself up and noticed that the floor was covered in flesh. The flesh was almost gray, rhythmically pulsing as if it had a heartbeat, which it probably did have. Voraci looked around and saw things sprouting from the ground.

The tree went up far above Voraci, but the trees in John’s world were also like that. The most differing feature, other than the tree being covered in flesh, were the leaves. Thin, but stable, poles sprouted out of the top of the tree. Some of them appeared to have been eaten, showing down to the bone, but there was no blood in the flesh. At the ends of the branches, two prongs sprouted out. These prongs were much shorter than the branch they originated from, and each sprouted into two more prongs. The final prongs were not too far apart from each other when not on the same branch, and between them was a thin patch of skin and flesh.

‘Oh no!’ Voraci thought, had forgotten to eat those humans! 'Back to John's world now please! Same place as well!'

PPHSh! BUT JUST GOT HERE!!!

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

'But I left fresh human corpses there!' Voraci mentally whined

OH; OK BACK RIGHT AWAY OK OK!!!

Voraci closed her eyes as she fell through the floor again. She was still close to the farm, but a small walk farther away.

JUSssT SO KNOW, YOU NO ABLE TO DO THAT WHEN DOING FIGHT!!! TOO UNFAIR

“Huh, too bad” Voraci said in the clown voice again while chowing down on the brutally executed corpses. Voraci took a chunk out of the human with the acid covered face. This one, based on context clues, had fire magic. Voraci worried about her ability to cast magic, but it was worth it to try, in her opinion.

FIRE MAGIC IS OKE!!! So YOu CAnn… YoU cCAn… OK I CAn’T DO ALL THIS- IT DO THIS

‘Incredible!’ Voraci thought, ‘The ability to cast magical spells! The mere knowledge of these abilities was entirely worth it!’

YES, CAN DO MAGIC A BIT

‘Can we have- well, you called it ‘it’- not list off everything I have?’

GOOD IDEA! NOW YOU KNO W ALWAyS WHAT YOU HAVESSss INSTEAD!

Voraci ripped off another chunk of human as the information popped into her mind and stuck there this time, ‘how many aspects should I expect to get from this?’ Voraci asked the words- ‘Hold on; are you called crick?’

AIOFNAOISFOF WOW SO sssSMART! HOW KNOW?

‘Well, ‘It’- still haven’t got a term for it, told me.’

OH YEAH! IT DID!! I DO CALL IT IT AS WELL!!! JuST CaLL IT SYSssssTEM- OH!! YOU GET…. 5 FROM ALL HUMANss HErE!

Voraci decided to decide the aspects now. While she did want to upgrade her current skills and gain nodes, diversifying her skill set seemed better.

First, the human ability for leveling-

NO GET LEVELING

‘Ah, well in that case, first,Their eyesight. Obviously, I have… alright vision. The humans, though, they definitely have comparatively good vision, and I have some plans that involve having a good view on things. Humans have endurance through sweat and are good throwers, yes?’

YES.

‘Well, after that… how about just some more voice mimicry? Ah, but can I also look like a human?’

THAT All WorKSss, GET EaTING!!!!

ALSssO… CAN TELL ME PLAN? I WANT KNOW BUT NOT FORCING…

‘...I’m just hunting birds,’
