No gain, no pain... wait?

... when I awoke everything was somehow refreshing, air filled my lungs as the cool air passed my face and the smell wasn't pleasant but was somehow reassuring... 'Wait... lungs... smell... I thought I was a slime!', I yelled as I let out a few barks and quickly stopped in embarrassment.

I tried to get up on my feet but lost my balance as I realized I could see my long snout... 'That explains the barking', I now had a memory I wanted to repress and never speak of again. I had become the wolf, why or how? No clue, strangely recovered quickly and started walking on all fours as if I'd done it my whole life.

I started to run, I needed that bit of freedom after basically hugging the floor and being a living blob.I kept running until I realized I had no clue where I was, 'there was just a door with statues on either side that looked like the wolf but was on Its hind legs and had five fingers but was menacing for being stone' I thought to myself... until I remembered the golem and gained a new respect for stone.

I went to push the door but the moment I touched the door I heard a crackling sound. I wondered what it was until I looked at the statues to find them looking at me. Out of fear I tried to force the door open just to have both their claws peirce my abdomen.

'Okay, now I'm dead for sure', I thought to myself, yet the pain never came, I stead all I heard was sizzling and distressed squealing. I turned to see the slime was back and was eating their arms as it slid up their bodys and slowly went to consume their entire beings.

It was gross and took forever but strangely stopped halfway on each of them, though they were long gone forever ago. I felt a familiar sting as my body morphed and hardened but this time I fought to stay conscious.

My body was no longer fluffy, my one redeeming quality was replaced by stone and minerals that were cold and hard, on the plus side I found with these new hands I can grab things I thought as I grab the door handle. I went to push the door but it flung open as if it was hit by a battering ram and fell off its hinges with a crash. "Woops", I said aloud and scared myself, it was a deep voice that echoed through the room.

I looked around to make sure I didn't alert anyone but only saw an empty throne room that was worn down by time with a crystal floating in the center that seemed to draw me in subconsciously.

'Definitely not touching suspicious crystals... huh?', I look down to see my feet moving for me just like it did when it ate the wolf and statues but all I could do was sigh as it began consuming the crystal. I suddenly saw the walls come in towards the crystal as if it was a black hole as words flashed in my mind.

[Welcome demon king of gluttony, im the dungeon interface created by the last owner but protocol says to find the next candidate as they have unfortunately passed]

I was excited, I finally had something to talk to and maybe get an explanation on who... or why... I'm not sure but I'll figure it out.

"H-hello, do you know where we are?", I was greatly anticipating their response...

[Nope]
