Hellish Evolution

What happens when you wake up in the middle of cave, as a monster you've only seen in fantasy stories? When you get told to grow stronger on the pain of permanent death? When the first being you see kills you... 20...40... 1000 times? What happens when you don't want to be a plaything for the gods anymore? Ash died not a happy death but one filled with suffering. His only wish to be free. For him however, the gods had other plans. (Abandoned, sorry)
