Summoning went wrong

Chapter 13. Peace before pain

"Damn, I feel great!"

I ate another rat, feeling the pleasant feeling go through my body.

I healed quite a bit thanks to my carnivorous diet. A portion of my skin is back with some strands of white hair on my skull. The blades repaired themselves completely and some strand of muscle has started to cover them, starting from the base. I have no idea how my organs were doing since the hole in my abdomen and chest were also gone.

"... I need more food."

I have been here for a week now, becoming completely accustomed to my current situation. While I was here, I was constantly eating rats and various life forms that were unlucky to meet me. You have no idea what a man would eat when he is hungry.

And the best part was that the curse didn't work!

Yep, I have been down here for a week, yet the counter didn't move at all! I didn't know why and I wasn't too fond to find it out. If I keep it like that then I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

I left my physical body and flew away, for something to eat, completely used to going through walls.

There was indeed more rat around me, but I have already marked them, and I was using them for another experiment.

The range of the chain on my chest was ridiculous. I didn't meet any limitations, yet I have already moved quite a distance.

I floated away looking for other prey. I didn't need to look further, I already found what I was looking for and even more.

A ball of rat, a rat king, was fighting a pile of green gelatine.

"A slime?"

I was suspecting that slimes were in sewers since they are known for being the cleaners of the fantasy words, but I was greatly disappointed in them. They were slimy, slow, and always full of garbage. The only interesting part of them where their cores that floated in their bodies. It seems like this one hasn't found anything other to eat, so it tried its luck with a rat.

"Ok, let's try this!"

I detached my two arms and sent them to the two creatures.

Thank God, I couldn't feel anything in my current state.

My two arms entered their bodies searching for their cores.

Placing a slave mark on the body of a slime was tricky since it managed to make it erased, by simply detaching the contaminated part, before it spread to the entire body, so I needed to be trick.

When I found a big chunk of mana I concentrated and sent my own in it.

"Slave Mark!"

Blue light illuminated both of them before disappearing completely.

[Slave Marks installed.]

[Slaves added to the list.]

[Do you wish to activate the marks?]

"Yes."

[Marks activated]

The two of them stayed still for a moment before turning their bodies in my direction.

"Follow me!"

I floated back to my body accompanied by my two new friends/meals.

The entrance to my lear was littered with sand and bones, giving a gruesome sight. I wasn't too keen on tidy ness, plus some rats even came close to it in hope of some food, turning themselves into my slaves.
