Chapter 16 Food and Growth

We returned down that hallway we came through. The sun was still high and the grass was green as ever. We continued to the DiningHall to find freshly made food for us. the guards stood by as we ate. The food was good. It was a plate of fresh fish coated on a type of cream sauce. It was delicious. / Host has consumed Dragon Face Tuna. Hosts compatability is substantial. Using material to improve ligament lubrication and water movement capabilities. Host's long capacity has increased and can now hold breath for longer./ ( That's useful.) I thought as I ate. ( Perhaps I'll be able to gain more abilities later if I eat stronger things. After Dinner Sam went to the room while I wandered the castle. At least one guard was always watching me at all times. I went into the kitchen.

The smells were incredible. Baked bread and butter made my mouth water a little more. But not as much as the stew I sniffed as I passed the stove. Everything in this kitchen seemed to have come from the middle ages. The only exception was the method they used to produce fire. There were strange rodents sitting under the pots and pans. They were seemingly coated in a black rock like substance and were coated in flames.I ignored them seeing as I already had a self ignition ability I didn't require additional useless materials. I went for the waste bin for monster parts. The chef and guards looked at me.

" What is it doing? The master wants us to burn the garbage. Maybe it'shere to help with that?"

I looked slightly behind me and saw a young girl who was dressed in an elligant maid uniform. The waste was held in a large stone bin. Without giving them any Idea what I was doing before hand, I climbed inside." Really!!?!?!?! What is that thing doing!!!" I activated my self ignition ability once I reached the bottom. Smoke started coming from the pile and was going out the window. I was only letting out some of my fire. I didn't want to fill the place with smoke.

As I sat there essentially incinerating the garbage I grabbed bones that fell from above and chomped on them to see what I would get. After all. ( This is a treasure trove of stuff I can gain material and skills from. I shouldn't let this pass!) was my thought process.

After a While the system spoke up and started stating what I got. / Host has consumed the bones of a Horned Rabbit, Crystal fish, Lava Bull.../ the list went on for a couple minutes. / Host has acquired the passive skill Enhanced muscle structure: Enhances the muscles density and cohesiveness to the skin and bones. The more dense the body is the less damage taken and the more damage you can deal. It also helps keep one slim and capable of fitting through small areas.

And so my time was spent. After a while of feeling a little cramped I got out of the bin which was then completely full of ash. The kitchen was all but empty. There was a guard standing there and his head whipped around and saw me covered in ash. I felt an itch omy nose and sneezed sending the ash on my body flying. I started walking toward the door leading to the main area. The guard just let me go. As I walked down the corridor I felt more resistance. I felt heavier. As I walked past a hallway mirror I looked and saw my body had grown considerably. I must have grown to around 3 feet in length. My body was about a foot wide. I looked like a miniaturized komodo dragon with the exception of my horns which had grown to 4 inches long. I looked strong. I felt strong. (I like this) I turned once again and walked down the hall.

Sam's eyes bugged out a little when I walked into the room and asked " Where were you? And why did you get bigger?!" I walked over to the trash can in her room and saw a plate with food left overs close by. ( looks like she ate while I was gone). She stared as I waddled with the trash can over to the plate and I scraped most of the food into the bin and lit it ablaze in the can. She looked confused and then an aha look appeared on her face. " You went to the Kitchen and burned the waste bin.... but why?" She cocked her head a little to the left.... ( so cute) I thought. I reached my head in and grabbed a bone. I then walked over to my bed and chewed it. I didn't feel hungry I was just curious what she had. / host has consumed the bone of a Flaming Gale drake. Wing Growth possible. Need 10 more pieces of winged creature DNA for possible evolution to occur./ ( oh!) Sam looked at me

"You glutton! You went for the bones that were left in the trash!"She rolled over in bed. " I don't even know why I worried about you. Sigh" After a few minutes I heard the sound of her sleeping. (She snores....) I laid down and warmed the sand before I fell into a deep sleep.
