BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5: RIP
Chapter 5: RIP
There was only one real difference, and that was the neck. Its size had increased, and so had its mobility. Its thickness had also increased, as Rei was slightly worried about getting beheaded the same he had his brethren.
\'Neck movement is more free now... That\'ll help. Longer neck too, more reach for these super sharp fangs. Good. There\'s nothing else in this room. If I can find other cages with weird creatures, that would be pretty cool...\'
The Paru exited the room it had just entered, now motivated by greed.
Rei activated the Temporary Invisibility Skill only for a moment. Just long enough to peek at the spaceship\'s exit. They were still out there, and hadn\'t noticed a thing. The moment turned a bit longer, as he stared at the way the commander\'s clothes stuck to her round and juicy glutes.
\'Fuck... How am I getting horny as a fucking hermit crab?\' Rei shook his head and walked across to the next room.
For about ten minutes, he moved from one room to another.
Nothing was found. Until...
\'That... What is it?\'
[A Tsero Crystal.]
[Incredibly valuable and radioactive material.]
\'Oho... Then either a Skill that has to do with radioactivity or... First of all, can I eat that?\'
[Affirmative.]
\'Cool.\'
The Paru proceeded to Devour both the Tsero Crystal as well as the special glass box it was in that helped lock the radioactivity.
\'Oufff!\' Rei immediately felt his body temperature increase dramatically.

\'Holy shit... I was bummed out by the fact that I didn\'t get some kind of radioactive Skill, but an increase of 100 Stat Points is more than enough. Not only that, but Endurance... My Endurance Points went from 50 to more than 1000, this is insane!\'
Rei couldn\'t help but chuckle internally.
\'Well, I did just eat a radioactive crystal that must be able to produce a lot of energy, so I kind of get it.\'
The Paru could almost start dancing.
\'No more feeling tired after using the Invisibility Skill. As a matter of fact, scratch the Temporary part!]
[Your Skill "Temporary Invisibility" becomes "Invisibility".]
\'That\'s right! With 1000 Endurance Points, I can remain invisible for... I could do about 5 minutes with 50 Endurance Points so... About an hour and forty minutes? Mm... Not as impressive as I thought. Still, very good! Who knows how many other things I\'ll find here. Hopefully, something to raise my offensive power or agility...\'
The Paru exited the room, but before it could enter another one, the sound of four shots being fired resonated.
\'Fighting the invisible guys? I really hope they\'re careful. If one of those enters, they\'ll be on guard even inside this spaceship... That certainly would be troublesome...\'
The invisible Rei started walking towards the exit.
\'Feels so good... With 1000 Endurance Points, I probably won\'t get tired... Ever, maybe! Not only that, but if I get some kind of offensive Skill, it\'ll use up Endurance Points too, making this the perfect way to start! Feels like it, at least!\'
The invisible Paru did its best not to stare at the commander\'s bottom which was tightly embraced by her clothes.
\'Looks like... Oh. A guy died. The girl with the heat-detecting glasses too. Nice.\'
The mechanic was woken up by a sudden shout and jumped to his feet.
\'Guess they will close the place up temporarily. Let\'s leave for a bit...\' As the frail and frightened men entered the spaceship, Rei walked out. \'They\'re not taking those devices with them, so they won\'t be leaving anytime soon.\'
The spaceship was closed down, and the Paru appeared out of nowhere.
\'No reason to deactivate it... But wasting Endurance Points isn\'t useful either. Next time I go in there, I might need to keep the Skill active for a while, so I\'ll need them to be at full by then.\'
The Paru walked for a bit before stopping.
\'How should I eat these glasses...? I suppose I should call them a headset or something...?\'
Rei asked himself those questions, but he didn\'t think much about it. His fangs were more than enough to deal with it.
\'Since this is an electrical device, I doubt it will-\'

\'A Skill and three Stat Points... Not bad at all. Now...\'
The Paru turned towards the four Airos.
[Your Agility Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]
[Your Strength Stat increases by 1 Stat Point.]
\'Mm... The first two gave a Stat Point each. The other two, nothing. I guess Devouring Airos from now on is useless.\'
The Paru, then, turned towards the fallen Worka who had bled out
\'Well...\' Rei walked forward. \'Rest in pieces, ey?\' He thought to himself, before slicing their bodies and Devouring them.
