Chapter 3 - The Hand

Looking at those sparks of light, Blanco saw that they were extremely tiny creatures.

The larger creature that arrived at the hole where they were grabbed the bird-like creatures back as it walked toward the mother creature and dropped the bird closer to her.

The mother creature grabbed the bird and began to eat it.

Just by seeing the large creature that arrived, Blanco knew that it's the father of his.

After observing his mother and father, Blanco lowered his head as he continued to feast on his food. But as he kept eating, he suddenly felt a dizzy feeling and exhaustion, and closing his eyes, he fell upon the ground. It's unclear whether he's unconscious or asleep.

Thump! Thump!

After Blanco fell and seemed unmoving, a newborn creature walked toward him, and the one who came was the same one that Blanco slapped when it tried to eat his shell.

The newborn creature's body was huge as it had eaten to its heart's content, and even taking steps forward caused its whole stomach to sway to the side.

The creature came close to Blanco and sniffed him a bit before slowly moving toward the purple sack Blanco was eating.

Once it sniffed it, it suddenly lifted up its head, and in the next second, its eyes closed, and it fell upon Blanco.

While in the unconscious state, the fur on Blanco's body waved in an unusual manner again, and around his neck, a bit close to the mouth, a few strange symbols appeared, resembling sharp teeth.

After a few hours, Blanco slowly opened his eyes, but he felt a huge weight pressing on his body.

Confused by the sudden weight, Blanco struggled to push the heavy thing away from him. After a few minutes of struggling, he finally managed to push it off.

After getting away from under the heavy thing, Blanco looked back and saw that it was the newborn creature that he had slapped before.

"What's he doing closer to me?" Blanco wonders, he got the urge to slap him again for lying upon him. However, seeing how uncomfortable it would be, Blanco abandoned that idea.

"It's a bit quiet," Blanco looks around and saw that everyone else is sleeping.

Blanco saw his unfinished food, the purple sack, still lying beside him, and upon seeing it, he felt a little hungry again.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Getting closer to it, he began to eat it again.

Tuk! Tuk!

But at that moment, Blanco heard a strange sound. Confused by this, he stopped eating and lifted up his head.

Tuk! Tuk!

The sound was heard again, and it came from the closed door.

Hearing the sound, Blanco became curious and moved toward the closed door.

Because of the tiny creatures emitting light, the area around the door was a little bit brighter, but it was still a bit dark in that area. As Blanco got closer, his shadow fell upon the closed door.

Blanco stood closer to the door for a few seconds, but nothing strange happened. Getting bored, he prepared to leave. But at that moment, he noticed something strange within the shadow of his that fell on the door.

The shadow of his was getting darker and darker as moments passed.

Curiously, Blanco got close to his shape a bit, but suddenly his senses felt something. From the shadow of his, a hand which had sharp, knife-like fingernails appeared and swung its sharp nails toward Blanco.

Acting quickly, Blanco backed away from the door, avoiding the shadow hand.

After missing Blanco, the shadow hand drew back into the shadow of his and disappeared from Blanco's vision.

"Something supernatural? So, this place I was born into must have some kind of supernatural force. Of course, thinking about it, it makes sense from this weird appearance of mine that I'm not in my previous world but instead in some kind of another world."

" Wait, if I'm a reincarnator, could it be that I have some kind of ability to myself too?"

Blanco closed his eyes and tried to feel something within his body, but no matter how much he struggled, nothing out of the ordinary, as Blanco expected, appeared.

"Phew, well, if there's something like that inside me, I'll eventually has come out to me sooner or later."

Opening his eyes, Blanco gazed at the spot where the dark hand disappeared. Even though there was no evidence of the dark hand, Blanco saw a dark, ink-like liquid fall from the shadow hand to the floor as it missed its swing toward him.

Lowering his head, Blanco sniffed the dark liquid on the floor. The smell was very dense and potent, but it had a familiar scent, like the liquid inside the purple sack he was just eating.

Looking at the dark liquid, Blanco had a contemplative look as he doubted whether to taste it or not. But after a few minutes of thinking, he suddenly jumped forward and licked it.

Slurp!

Not leaving an inch on the ground, Blanco lapped up all of the liquid from the ground.

After that, he stood up, expecting something to happen within his body, but even after a few minutes passed, he didn't feel anything. And even after that, he didn't feel any change within his body even after a few more minutes passed.

Khaak!

But suddenly, Blanco exclaimed in pain as a tremendous pain erupted from his mouth. He felt like his mouth was eaten by countless tiny creatures from inside, and his tongue felt like it was being decayed slowly and painfully.

"Is it poison? Dammit I shouldn't have done that," Blanco exclaimed in distress.

Blanco waved his mouth and tried to ease his pain, but nothing he did showed any effect. And as minutes passed, the pain gradually worsened, even making his eyes turn red from the agony he felt.

Thud!

The tremendous pain overwhelmed him, and he fell to the ground, his mouth open and his tongue stuck out. Blanco was now like a lifeless being.

But at that moment, as Blanco's tongue stuck out from his mouth and touched the earth, he suddenly felt a cold sensation on his tongue. He felt a bit relieved by the extreme pain he was feeling.

Feeling the relieving sensation, Blanco moved and dragged his tongue across the floor. Even though his tongue felt a bit painful as he dragged it across the floor, the extreme pain he felt before slowly began to subside as the coldness from the ground slowly reached into his mouth.
