The White Hare

Mutation and Turmoil

[Congratulations! The Mutation: [Predatory Musculature] Is Now Part Of Your Body And Will Be Passed Down Onto Your Spawn!]

Opening his eyes, Jack can barely see straight. The buck slowly sits up with a groggy moan of pain, courtesy of his complaining muscles. His entire body felt... weird. Looking at his hands Jack can see a bit more muscle in his hands and forearms than he remembers. His legs were similar in that his thighs were even more developed than previously. Slightly wider hips with a more noticeable leg gap makes him equally confused. His chest and stomach were too fluffy to see but trailing his fingers across his body he didn't doubt for a second that they had changed as well.

[Thanks to repeated exposure to agonizing pain and living despite it, you have gained the Skill [Pain Tolerance].]

Rubbing his face, he tries to stand but feels as though his legs didn't belong to him. Trying to stand up was like walking on jello. He didn't even get past the kneeling position before falling back on his tail.

"Jack?" Jullia opens the door to find Jack rubbing his lower back and his tail. "Jack!" She launches herself at her baby and hugs him close. "I was so worried! Are you okay?! What happened?!!!!"

"I'm fine mamma. I was actually about to ask you the same question."

"Open your status window for me."

"Your stats just keep climbing. Normally a bar is put on them between levels but you seem to have a skill that allows you to ignore it." She shakes her head and rubs her cheeks as she reads through his latest trait.

Without being asked to do so her son pulls it up.

[Predatory Musculature: A mutation found in a few monsters that didn't possess a body for hunting down prey. This trait redistributes the owner's muscles to take on a more predatory build. Instead of running from threats the body of the trait holder is more built for dashing in and out of range while delivering quick precision strikes. By sacrificing longterm speed the new body of the trait holder is more robust and can take a hit or two from a fellow predator.]

"Your body keeps changing so quickly..." She looks down as if it were her own fault.

"Mom, stop worrying. It's my own fault." At him saying that, Jullia looks severely confused. How can it be HIS fault?

"What do you mean it's-"

"I grabbed the skill Flexible Biology early on. Because I keep on messing myself up all the time and pushing myself it's trying to force my body to keep up. I don't even think the skill is supposed to be used this way but I somehow keep forcing it into overworking itself." He rubs his forehead. A new group of muscles starting at his temples go down and connect to the back of his thicker jaw make him sigh. "Okay. Relearning how to walk."
