Chapter 21: Statistics
'Status,' Caelan chanted inwardly as a notification panel was presented before him. Denoting key information that mad up his identity.
"Damn," another cuss was involuntarily said out of his lips.
Who could blame him?
What was presented before him was mind boggling. An amalgamation of monstrosity and intellect.

"Is it just me or does the slot of stigma increase by one.Then it means I get to have another stigma talk about a walking plot
" Vincent wondered out loud.
"Does it mean I get five Status points per level," Vincent assumed seeing the number of distributable Status point.
As Vincent was mulling over his ongoing plans.
With nowhere to go Vincent a sharp sting in his head as if his brain was being drill intermittently stabbed with a pen.
Memories of his current body whom he occupied his body flowed in his brain.
Arghh!!!!!!!
Vincent's scream reverberated within his immediate surroundings.
Immense pain rampaging in his brain as memories continued to be unveiled.
With the name of being Guru. From how the previous owner was a competitor to be the tribal chief. The location of the tribe.Their tribe worshipping the sacred tiger and their race being tigerkin. A very bland name for a race.
How the tribe was already existing before the apocalypse hidden from the notice of humans.
Till the owner of the body sent by the current tribal chief to go on a hunt.
Meeting his demise not by the hands of a zombie but a hands of a fellow tribesman who was a rival of his in love. With their love interest being a shade tiger a different version of a tiger.
The population of the tribe, the tribe practising a patriarchal system.
After completing digesting the memories, he now had a starting point with which he could decide his future.
"Yuck. What disastrous taste for a woman. Maybe because he….no I am not human so his taste buds in women are different. Screw that. Now that daddy is here we'll forget about his previous love and focus on strength," After his external monologue Vincent rushed in the direction of the tribe since the sun was setting.

After an hour and half of continuous travelling Vincent was almost at the base of his tribe.
Waaa!!!!!!
But his ears twitched as he picked the sounds of crying.
'Is it a creature trying to bait me using human like sounds.' Cautiously moving towards the source of the sound. Fight or Flight were his only.
As he neared the sounds he could gather hushed voices speaking.
"Shhh!! Jane what if a monster comes here because of you and eats us up," a blue haired boy looking around the ages of 11 or 12 scolded his sister who also sported blue hair.
His hair reached his Abyss like eyes but didn't cover them. He had a smooth face with an angle jawline. His face was devoid of any baby fat as he was doing a serious job trying to quiet down his sister. Outfitted in a khaki trousers alongside a baggy grey coloured T-shirt. Complimenting his looks was a converse sneaker.
She had blue hair that was in a bob cut, as her face was stained with tears due to the nightmare they faced. Her face was a replica of her brother if not for her chubby cheeks that made anyone want to cup them. Due to her looking too cute. Jane was donning a yellow lacost that was pink with a Teddy bear sewn on it. In addition was a tracksuit alongside Joggers as if going for a jog in the forest. If it was not for her dirty tracksuit.
The words of her twin brother did nothing to encourage her as she was about to burst into more ears.
But she noticed that though the sun was setting it was not all that dark but all of a sudden a shadow loomed over them. Casting a menacing atmosphere.
Lifting her head to see the cause, she lifted her head to see a menacing tiger towering over them with it blue eyes gleaming while peering straight into her eyes. As if trying to read her soul.
Upon seeing this bipedal tiger Jane Lorow shivered as if she were a leaf cast at the beachside. Knowing as much as a sound might spell their doom she just shivered and closed her eyes trying to prevent tears from flowing.
Jonah Highrow noticed that his sister was strangely quiet but persistently shivering. Noticing the tense atmosphere he turned to see the cause.
And upon noticing the tiger that casted shadow over them and was towering over them. His reaction was much more intense than his sister. Shivering like a recharged vibrator,the only sound that came from his lips was,"nice kitty."
Vincent who saw two twins huddled under a tree and the boy comforting the girl was a peaceful atmosphere.
Standing about a metre away,he watched these two kids. Upon getting closer an instinctual desire to eat up these children overcame him. These kids who looked pitiful now looked like grilled turkey with salad garnished at the side.
'What the hell?'
Trying to control this obnoxious desire and keeping it under control he gazed at the girl who noticed him. Quietly looking at her, he noticed her shivering but just watched her amusingly.
Seeing that her brother also noticed him,he relished at the outrageous reaction of the brother and decided to end his shenanigans.
"Humans, what are you doing so far from home," his boisterous voice sounded.
"A….t-taallkkking tiger," Jonah eyes rolled over after sharing his piece. His entire weight collapsing on his sister, which prevented any chance from escaping.
Seeing no chance of escape, Jane decided to see what would come of her fate in the hands of this strange tigerkin.
Squatting in front of the twins who would play a pivotal role in his journey. The start of a journey filled with knocks,ups and down began under a quiet tree with no distinct features that set it apart.
