"Inspect.!" Jaffery uttered crazily.

[ Obtained level 1 skill: Consume. ]

[ DESCRIPTION : consume everything in your path. Definitely anything. There was once an infamous alchemist in one of the more advanced planets, that is planet Roca. This planet had been completely devoured by technology in such a way that all the things of the past and traditions had been completely forgotten and burned in the minds of the denizens of planet Roca. But with technology, came its disadvantages, one of them being that the agricultural scientists of planet Roca had gone completely insane with the thought that food can be synthesized and broken down into its basic components and then from the components, these scientists separated the most needed nutrients by the body and made a small pill. The junk staff that remained of the food that was broken down, was then ejected aside as that would only be excreted by humans as shit if they ate it, and why eat all that trash while one could just eat what is needed by the body(food pill) and distance themselves from the often need to visit the lavatory each time? This these scientists came up with this food pill that when it was taken, the body would absorb it wholly and instantly. One would feel satisfied and they would not need to eat anything. This pill was then welcomed by all in planet Roca and thus the huge farms were taken down just to pave the space for more tech. But was the food pill successful? What happened to planet Roca denizens who chose to side with the food pill? Were they still humans by defying the odds? Could that pill be trusted? No one knew what happened to Planet Roca as it had been separated from the outside world (interstellar federation) for many eons. 

Anyway, Consume is a technique that can enable the user to digest anything. Yes, in the interstellar federation, anything is food, be it plastics, crude oil, dirt, hair, faecal matter, humans, animals, trees, anything yes. Even though most of the interstellar federation denizens still believe in the traditional food that comes from plants and animals, there are some people who have already shifted to other sources of food like precious stones that has crucial minerals needed by the body and even their own faecal decay. The user should be glee for receiving this skill as it is one of the most sought after as it can save anyone who likes jungle adventure. By using this skill, the user can easily digest anything. 

Note that using this skill can be nasty at times and it requires 10 points in spirit and 5 points in endurance. ]

"That's it?" Jaffery was too disoriented by the history that brought about this skill to existance. He had expected to get a cool skill but he only got this stupid skill? He was not a foodie, alright? 

Anyway, Jaffery didn't threw the skill away as he had earned it with sweat, tears and blood. Who knew that perhaps, this skill could help him somewhere, so, he quickly learned the skill as he had the stat points needed by the skill, yes, he met all the requirements of the skill. One should know that Jaffery's spirit points were always 10 points even if he had not added any stat to it as he saw that the addition of points to spirit was still not yet needed by him. And as for his endurance, he had 8 points.

"Wait, let's not forget about the thing that's waving at me in front." Jaffery suddenly jolted when he remembered this. He had slowed down a little while he was inspecting the skill that he got from the consuming worms which made him to forget about the thing in front of them.

 "Should I use another route?" Jaffery asked himself in a low voice while glancing sideways, searching for a way that he could escape through with his car.

All across the road, the cars had jammed up. There was no route to escape and even the road that Jaffery was using was also jammed, it was just that the situation was not as stupid as the other roads that he had ignored.

"This city is a whole mess. It seems that this encroachment of the corrupted beasts had surely affected the entire city." Jaffery finally conceded. He had been driving for that whole time and everywhere that he passed was just quite with a few skimmishes here and there, he could also hear distant sounds of police car hootings, helicopters and passenger airplanes sounds, it was probably that the rich were trying to escape after knowing that their city was no more but what about the peasants like Jaffery who were left behind to their own devices?

Anyway, he could also see that several buildings were already on fire and Jaffery feared that those tall buildings would fall down when they were weakened, it was just about time. Even the electricity in the city was no more and what was illuminating these buildings were the backup generators which made even the disrupted electric line in these buildings to make the light bulbs to flicker from time to time.

"Enough is enough! I will just ram on this guy. Even if they could be a fellow human, who cares, the world is no more." Jaffery's eyes flickered with determination and he switched on all the headlights and accelerated as if his life depended on it.

"What is now fucking with me?" Jaffery who was determined to ram over the guy in a red cladding, he felt an itching in his belly which made him to lose control and ram his car on another vehicle nearby after missing the targeted person.

Fortunately, Jaffery was quick on stepping on brakes, thus, the car was not too damaged.

"Oooh man, I can see that you are so stressed out... but I need this car." Before even Jaffery could continue to mull over what was wrong with him, he heard this voice from the car window beside him.
