Chapter 19 : A Serious Talk Part 3.

*Ahhh*

{Was that a moan?, I don't think so, I must be delirious, Wait, I don't remember falling asleep or hearing the alarm to wake up, Could it be that my fiancee saw that i was very, very tired from yesterday's lacrosse training?, Ah!, such a wonderful woman…}

A slight movement of my part makes me perceive water, probably i am under it, slowly i open up my eyes, looking at the ceiling of an unknown place with well aligned hazel stone blocks.

{How could i forget?!, i am not in "Ground" anymore!}

Incorporating my body to sit down, the reflection of my apparency is in the water, shaved face, more handsome than before, my eyes have glowing irises of a sparkling hazel sand colour like the dessert outside the walls.

My hair is short but a bit longer of what used to be and looks like cooper, but literally, metallic cooper colour, and upon contact it feels like always.

{I don't know why i didn't notice it before…, and my skin has healed, I know it wasn't that burned, but there is no longer any discomfort or sign of that event even happening, furthermore, my ear has closed the wound, I still have a hole, but it no longer bleeds and there is no tinnitus ringing like before}

§{Withstand Tlrt/Dmg 5,000/5,000}§

{I complete a Task again?, How?!, I mean… , Thanks for the Star, i guess…}

§{ Rewards:(+1★)(+1MF)(+2BF)(+1CF) }§

{Two more Stars to reach Level 1?, if is this simple to get better, why there are not many extraordinary people?!}

§{Task Slot Available}§

§{Improve Previous Task}§

§{Choose Another Task}§

{What should i pick now?, if i check the list almost everything is going to be the same as before, maybe one new option because i choose Punch already…}

—Kinetic…

Bverxkka's stoic voice surprises me, but also reminds me that i am not alone in this Bath for Males, but here is only his malnourished body and Myself, there is no track or clues about Shlõvthy.

—Did i passed out?.

—Not at all, i knocked you down with a discharge of Natural Electrons, Your electrified body accelerated its healing by amplifying further the already enhanced restoration provided by this weird type of water.

{So he literally made me unconscious for my own wellbeing, What thoughtful of him!, at least he admitted his action, i hate those who keep lying on your face regardless if you uncovered them or not}

—You two needed privacy or…

—Indeed.

{That is not too specific, clearly something that is not of my incumbency}

—How long i was unconscious?.

—Four and a half Local Hours.

{That is like 7 hours on "Ground"?, i think it is}

—You mentioned something… , What was it?, Kinetic?, What is that?.

Incomprehension is present on Bverxkka's face, almost as if my question was awkward, but a second later, he explains calmly to me.

—Kinetic Energy is what you have been employing to eliminate the Caterpillars with ease, bypassing their exoskeleton to cause internal or straight up fatal injuries to them.

{Bverxkka is talking about the coating i use to fight, but i don't know how it works, i just know that it does… , wait, How he…}

—How do you know about if i have Kinetic as an option in my Tasks?.

—I can see it.

Nonchalantly respond Bverxkka and ironically i retort his own words.

—What happened to: "Do not spy on others, not everyone overlooks such behavior…?!"

—First you must be aware on your own, you wouldn't know if i didn't inform you.

{I don't have a comeback for that, is how he said, i couldn't know…}

—Can you tell me more about Kinetic Energy before i decide to pick it or not as a Task?.

—Is a Multipurpose Energy, it can help you attack, defend, amplify your resistances, and with enough proficiency, you can scan your surroundings and be almost undefeatable by basic planar phisical attacks.

{He says weird stuff, but doesn't look like the type of people that tells lies, and is too sure about what is possible to achieve with this Kinetic Energy}

—You can use it?.

—Indeed, everyone can, but Plasmas or Pure Energies are always a more attractive option for Species with "Advance" or above Evolution, for now, all of us are "Inferior", and because of that, reliable and consistent capabilities are more relevant than the raw power of other types of Energies that are much less manageable.

Trying not to think more about the topic, i end up agreeing with Bverxkka's suggestion and picking up Kinetic.

{The worst outcome is that i complete the Task and pick another one, the Star (★) is still useful to Level up, Right?}

Bverxkka moves his body slowly, adopting a fetal position while he is still sitting inside the bathtub.

The water around him separates about an inch from his skin, being unable to touch the liquid, or maybe is the water who is incapable of soak Bverxkka, the scene is almost as if the water were fleeing from the malnourished male.

—What are you doing?.

I inquire with curiousity and apprehension, it looks cool what he is doing, but at the same time gives me goosebumps.

—An attempt to Unite several states of progress to reborn Myself…

{He is doing what!?, i don't understand, and you know what, it doesn't matter, i don't hve the need to understand}

—Is dangerous?.

—Outside of my knowledge.

{How honest!, I have to give him credit for that, maybe if he weren't so stiff and harsh talking, probably he could have more friends}

A faint silver vapor begins to emanate from Bverxkka's body, followed by his wrinkled opaque hazel skin cracking.

From this rifts, a kind of mushy greasy liquid becomes present, this coating looks like burgundy blood but of a lighter shade like a cherry liquor, changing the consistency of the fluid to be more viscous as the seconds pass.

The substance keeps appearing all over his body, making it difficult to continue appreciating Bverxkka's malnourished silhouette.

Slowly, the light burgundy tar gets solidify a bit more, taking the shape of a large ovoid, its dimensions are about three and a half feet in height and two and a half feet wide.

{What in the…!, Ah!, again!, i don't remember!, Bverxkka and Shlõvthy doesn't have this problem, Why is that?!, well, who cares?!, Bverxkka is now an Egg!, that has to be worst than a little bit of amnesia}

The temperature in the bath rises a little and the new apparency of Bverxkka stabilizes itself, obtaining a burgundy eggshell over the light burgundy almost completely solidify liquid that now is guarded under the sturdy solid protection of the shell.

The water in the bathtub still cannot touch Bverxkka's new form, on the contrary it keeps moving further and further away from him.

At this rate the water could overflow from the bathtub, and when this is about to happen, the liquid turns gelatinous to remain in the bathtub.

{I am done, people are paste to make eggs, water changes by itself into jelly, I don't even want to think what is going to occur next…}

Shlõvthy enters into the room at that exact moment, with a stench so disgusting that makes no sense at all, provoking me to almost threw up everything i eat and drink in the breakfast.

—What is that pest?!.

I inquire completely grossed out by that pestilence, Shlõvthy laughs at me and reply with an obnoxious grinn.

—Dead parasites mixed with the love juice of the attendant, My Newly acquired Maiden.

{The sleepy Chubby of the entrance?, not my taste, but if he likes her, good for him}

He showers again and calmly asks.

»—Where is Bverxkka?, he went to shit?, i am joking, I know he doesn't need it…

My silence worry Shlõvthy, who turns to look at me as i simply point out with my hand to the Burgundy egg.

»—He is the Egg?!…

Surprise shocks Shlõvthy for a moment, but his personality is not affected too much and composture or whatever his backbone emotions are return to his playful attitude.

»—Usually is the other way around, The egg is laid, cared for, and eventually hatched, leaving the young sprout to grow and mature with expirience and food, he eat a lot though…

—I knew all of that!, better give me an explanation of what happened here?!.

I demand an explanation that is simply not granted to me.

—I can't, i don't know what he did, we don't know each other that much, is a decision he take, i can just back it up..

{Why Shlõvthy nonchalantly acknowledge Bverxkka's… , Transformation?, Evolution maybe?, Regression?, He mentioned Species, so his Species comes from eggs?, am i thinking this too much?}

»—Hey, Korvac…

I turned towards Shlõvthy and pretty tranquil he says.

»—Don't sweat about him, focus on yourself, the day is still long, and constantly came more people in our situation, i am going to check out the New batch of Newcomers, maybe someone needs "Extra affection"…
