Chapter 45 - Onyx's Solo Adventures

POV: Onyx Martin

Age: 4 days 17 hours

Status: On a quest to get stronger while eating delicious things 💪

Mood: Hungry

Onyx Martin(newly adopted) considered itself to be a very smart mimic. Although it liked to eat, it especially liked to stay alive even more.

Onyx was spawned in darkness, as all mimics were. The only thing it could 'see' was the light around it, and the only urge it had was to consume it.

Eat it.

Devour the light and essence of anything and everything and metabolize it as its own. Mimic and replace whatever it had eaten and continue the cycle until everything had been devoured.

Among spawns from the same nest, there was a loose sense of cohesiveness given by the nest organism and the controllers, but there was no real sense of loyalty. The main directive was to continue devouring and spreading; however, if the opportunity arose to devour another spawn, each mimic would take it and use the energy gained to improve itself and continue the cycle.

From the moment it was spawned, Onyx was more intelligent than the rest of its spawn mates. The rest of its stats were at the bottom of the barrel, but its intelligence and magic power were quite high, which made it a little different than other mimics.

It had more self-awareness, a lot of thoughts that it shouldn't have, and observed more compared to its spawn mates rather than mindlessly consuming.

Onyx was spawned from a controller mimic, the first generation of mimics formed from a nest.

After being spawned, it received the directive to eat the 'food' offered in front of it, mimic it, and continue to do the same while spreading and spawning others like it.

The order had come from its controller as it gestured to food lying in front of it, but in its 'vision', Onyx could see the connection of the controller back to the nest and the nest to a figure covered in golden light that made it afraid.

Come.

Eat.

The command was a resounding bell constantly tolling in its mind, enticing it to draw near, but it shook it off.

It didn't want to eat that.

Although the light inside them was palatable, there was a larger, tastier option. It wanted the massive pile of light it saw being fed to the nest by a golden light figure. Both big and small bits of light in different colors pulsed and attracted its attention.

Tasty.

Hungry.

Turning its attention toward the pile of mana, it had tried to approach but was quickly whacked away and sent flying, it's fragile body almost disintegrating from the strength of the attack.

"Disgusting pest."

Those were the first words Onyx heard in its life.

And that was how Onyx almost died the first time.

Upset at being hit, it hid itself and ran away.

Although the food offered looked delicious, if it couldn't eat what it wanted, there was no point. It would find its own food and make its own way.

Thus began Onyx's forest adventure.

Moving away from the rest of its spawn mates, the golden figure, and the nest, it began exploring the outside world for the first time.

When it spotted an object with light that looked small enough to obtain, it would wrap around it and quickly devour it or store some for later.

First it was some green light planted in the ground that it devoured. Although it was easy to digest, the quantity wasn't enough, and it wasn't very tasty. The things moving around it looked much tastier.
