Harbinger of Calamity

a Neet who has worked hard his entire life, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, living much of his life in poverty, depression and drug addiction, at the end of his difficult road, dies of cancer at the age of 26. Having suffered his entire life trying to face the cruel reality of the world, always chasing higher pursuits and exploring ideas but his pursuit of truth only leads to his own collapse. In his last days instead of weeping, he laughs, he laughs at the absurdity of it all. It seemed as if fate had played the biggest joke on him, he had taken too seriously what had no value. What is life? a blink of an eye! as unreal as a dream, what a mysterious world, we are just born out of nowhere only to vanish later on. A profound sigh was uttered "If only I wasn't dealt such bad cards! I was made for the heights yet here I am crashed in the abyss of life."  Looking at the world he was soon to leave, he sighed "Humanity truly has fallen in this era, it has crashed from the heights of embodying divinity to succumbing to their animalistic selves becoming creatures of decadence, slaves to pleasure, lust and the lowly desires of the body. Truly my heart weeps for the tragedy of humanity, the industrial revolution, a slave society disguised as 'modern society', poisonous foods filled with chemicals, an entire network engineered to enslave minds called the internet, an absolute infestation of decadence and mediocrity in the very Human spirit that used to overpower all. All humanity is enslaved, what can't parents even teach? they are slaves themselves. Atleast in this life, I refused to be a slave, I was a free being, atleast in the later half of my life, I followed my own passions and lived my own life but in the end, sigh I failed! But oh well, who ever lived a perfect life in this world? as the darkness of death engulfs him, he fully accepts it and is gone. A pair of eye opened and an absolutely stunning sight appeared, he was transmigrated. For the first time in so long, he could see clearly without glasses or contacts, he could feel physically powerful instead of a sickly body and a destroyed pleasure system. He resolves that this time, this life, He would pursue his own freedom! He would never give up on himself and he will walk his own path to the very end. "That's right, I was wrong depending on sympathy. Cold, heartless, I won't forgive them, they can't be forgiven! That's right, it wasn't me who was wrong, it was the world that was wrong!" A descent towards Madness. A cruel world where no refuge can be found, countless obstacles obstructing one's path, mountains of corpses, an abyss of blood, a heart of darkness, a cruel fate to all living beings. No heart or soul, only an abyss of despair and a heart to ascend beyond. ...

Death

Nameless had already escaped a few tens of kilometers yet no matter what he did he couldn't shake off the dark alienoid beings. He always kept hearing hyenah-like sounds not far away from him.

He turned his head again and again to observe them.

Trees, trunks, giant bushes were of no hindrance to them, they could become ethereal and pass through them unhindered.

He had no way to know that these were special space path beings that were ingrained with innate space laws.

He also realised that they had thermal vision, they could see through objects and check for living beings, he couldn't hide and shake them off.

Yet they still couldn't overpower him easily, they were only rank 3 beings while he had a peak rank 3 body that was a hybrid and was stronger than even normal peak rank 3 bodies.

He kept stabbing them one by one as he was escaping!

However the time spent on fighting them with the obstacles on the path that the beasts could just pass through rapidly, no matter what he did, they always catched up to him.

Nameless's heart sank!

The beast tide had already started yet he still couldn't shake them off and was still being pursued!

He couldn't help but become nervous. That injury on his back even began to hurt him proving how frecious these beings were and how strong their jaws are.

The forest was gigantic, he didn't know where to go, he had no one, no support, no special powers, he only had his especially powerful body yet even that didn't seem to be enough to get out of this situation.

He had just revived, he didn't want to die so soon!

In the middle of these intense feelings, he suddenly thought of that alienoid gazelle that escaped the blue tiger back then, it had such agile hooves and feet!

If he just had them he could escape and survive!

As he imagined them, suddenly, his feet shapeshifted and became similar to a gazelle's feet with a similar structure and hooves!

He imagined the gazelle again and again and the bones of his arm became bigger before slightly protruding from his flesh, even his back seem to have hunched.

Nameless saw the changes and was blown away!

He immediately increased his speed and adjusted his form to escape the pursuit efficiently!

His back hunched more as his feet gripped the branches while his arms began to move swiftly. His whole body synchronised and became like a human gazelle.

Immediately, his speed increased rapidly! He looked as if he was flying through the air.

He kept running yet he felt the stronger black alienoid beasts still chasing after him, he immediately used mental energy to mask his body.

He also remembered that weird lizard and he imagined it for a bit before effectively changing his colour!

He had just now realised the meaning of a hybrid body!

He was a shapeshifter!

He could effectively replicate other beings power!

He immediately imagined another ability and sensory quills that could sense vibrations appeared behind his ears. His ears became longer and more like a beast's ear!

He immediately isolated the intense beastly sounds and the sound of the earth and the entire forest intensly rumbling and focused his hearing on the direct area around him.

He could now sense the vibration in the air and fully know all the beings behind him.

yet immediately after activating this ability, his heart sank!

"FUCK!"

*SPLASH*

Nameless had tried to dodge but he couldn't! he didn't even see what happened.

All he felt was a weird feeling in one of his arm before he saw a missing arm and blood splattering everywhere all over the branch he was on top off.

As soon as he saw the missing arm, he became hysteric!

He immediately changed direction and escaped with even higher speed!

He looked terrified, he picked speed rapidly almost ten times the previous speed, his heart beat rapidly!

He felt terror, true terror deep in his heart as if he was two steps away from falling into an eternal abyss.

He didn't even live long, he had just been reborn, barely lived a day, yet he was about to die again!

His hysteria affected his body, it immediately began shapeshifting into even higher form of evolution.

His entire body expanded, it became bigger and more aerodynamic, his hearing became sharper and could isolate and pick the most crucial sounds to his survival. He could even feel the terrain and branches around him and plan the path of escape!

The immortal fetus was an unparelled magical treasure that was created by the Heavenly demon after all.

Although it had lost most of its power and even if the formation had been modified by other demonic sects in the course of time, it was still an unparallered magical treasure that was actually alive, it was superior to a human body and even other humanoid creatures yet it wasn't invincible either.

Nameless didn't see the beast that tore his limb but he felt it through his sensory quills!

It looked the same as the black alienoid specie but it was gigantic compared to them, it was 3 meters in length and one meter tall and looked even more ferocious.

He had felt it emerging from the shadows the moment he had found its traces moving rapidly towards him before snatching his arm!

It felt as if it could blend and remove its traces in the darkness.

Nameless didn't know that it was a peak rank 4 space path darkness beast and that it could literally blend with the shadows and emerge from anywhere it desired as long as the shadows were connected.

The entirety of this dark forest was its playground.

Nameless ran and ran rapidly!

His special body sensed his desperate situation making his abilities reach the peak of the third rank, before breaking to the 4th rank despite only having a peak rank 3 body.

He escaped rapidly yet he suddenly felt a wild sense of danger!

he dodged!

*SPLASH*

Another limb, gone!

Nameless had no arms left!

He moved again! Even faster this time!

"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!!!"

Nameless screamed in his heart, his last word were screamed with desperation.

Nameless's heart sank, it was over!

There was no way he could survive this.

This was the end of his path.

Despite being reborn, despite trying his best, despite discovering his power not even a day after acquiring them, he couldn't rebell against his fate.

He was now merely the next meal of a stronger being.

An even bigger terror appeared in his heart which tensed his nerves to the max.

Nameless unconsciously activated a secret art that used his hybrid body potential to its fullest.

Most of the weird mutations and shift he had undergone had been cancelled, only his sensory quills, his gazelle feet and body remained, becoming even sharper, lighter and incredibly more aerodynamic, he felt as he was tearing space around him to increase his speed!

Nameless couldn't see anything other than him moving at extremely high speed!

Yet just as he lost hope, a purple scenery unfolded in front of him.

a few hundred meters away, a purple world existed and at its core a magical scenery.

He escaped even faster before his heart lighted up when he realised other smaller beasts hundreds of meters away didn't dare to approach this purple light. 

The rank 4 beast however was furious, it's extremely nourishing meal was about to get away.

It looked as if it couldn't enter the purple world.

Nameless was farther than the beast, the beast had stayed chewing on his arms before.

Nameless had miraculously arrived near this purpleish world, perhaps thanks to the instinct of his hybrid body.

He immediately jumped forward before arriving at a giant trunk. immediately using his fullest potential. The highest possible power he could exert to push himself forward by applying force on the trunk.

His feet shapeshifted back into humanoid feet, before an immense power was exerted by his feet on the gigantic tree trunk tens of meters wide even causing the trunk to nearly collapse.

An immense power was exerted on the tree trunk by his feet to propell him forward!

Nameless rushed in the air!

He was moving extremely fast through the air, his body shapeshifted again becoming even more aerodynamic increasing his speed even further!

Nameless rushed at an unimaginable speed, he was barely a few tens of meters from the purple world.

His eyes lighted up, he was going to survive!

However he couldn't have imagined that the dark alienoid being was patiently waiting for him at the exit.

The moment Nameless was twenty meters away, it used its space path capabilities to emerge from darkness and rush forward, the same rush it had used to take both of his limbs.

it rushed upward at an extreme speed even rivaling Nameless, it had used its full capabilities in this hunt!

Nameless was rushing through, he knew he had won!

Yet the alienoid beast immediately soared and at the crucial moment devoured both of his legs!

The beast had soared at an unimaginable speed using its space path capabilities, even space to it couldn't be a hindrance, let alone the legs that it then devoured!

The beast couldn't however stop its momentum immediately crashing into Nameless sending him soaring with even higher speed upwards.

Nameless nearly lost his consciousness because of the hit, although both of his arms had been sealed after they were bitten as to limit blood loss. he still lost a huge amount of blood and now he didn't even have the energy to seal his the two wounds where his legs were.

Even if he survived now, his fate was sealed.

The hit even further damaged his state, he was thrown higher with even further speed.

He had already entered the purpleish world yet he couldn't stop.

He was sent flying a few hundred meters, his aerodynamic body had left him in an even worse situation in the end.

All Nameless felt now was despair, pure despair.

He had tried everything he could, tried his absolute best yet his fate was inevitable.

He had not even been reborn for more than a day yet he was already going to die.

As he kept moving through the air, he finally felt the speed decrease and his body falling.

He braced himself for the pain.

*BOOM*

"ARGHHHH!"

He crashed on the ground before being thrown again and again because of the momentum hundreds of meters of distance before finally reaching a purpleish willow tree that stood high and mighty above him.

As he opened his eyes, all he could see were purple willows that seemed ancient, magical and ethereal.

Their beauty gave him a mystical feeling, something beyond what he had experienced before.

"What a beautiful yet ruthless world." he uttered a small laugh.

"Maybe through some lucky encounter I can survive hehehe."

Just as he said that, a dark beast head appeared in his vision, it was the rank 4 alienoid dark beast!

"oh, he can survive here?"

Nameless didn't even resist. 

He couldn't, he had no arms and no legs and especially no will left.

He closed his eyes before his head was torn off.

He felt the beast biting his face and his facial bones breaking apart before being swallowed.

He was conscious through it all.

He had an extremely powerful hybrid body.

It was only when his head reached the stomach acid that it began to dissolve and with it his consciousness.

Nameless felt a darkness engulfing him yet he still held on to his spark.

His spark burned before finally being extinguished when his head had fully dissolved and only darkness remained awaiting for him.

Nameless had died.
