My Life As A Salamander
Chapter 8 - Hope
Sam walked into the room quickly placing me on the round wooden table by the door. Tears streamed down her face as an ugly expression settled on her features. " What can they expect from a failure of a daughter? They put me in this room in a cold, dark part of the mansion and expect me to flourish? Ha! They really are delusional. I might as well throw you out the window and hang myself from the chandelier in the main hall." She looked glumly at me. I stared back and remembered where I had seen those eyes before.
It was before I was hospitalised. After my parents funeral I was forced out of my inheritance by the greedy bastards that I called family. With my parents and sister gone. I had nothing. I remember what I felt then. Probably what she feels now. A hollow, but fuming rage.
I looked at her and did something I probably shouldn't have. I shook my head as best as I could. She continued to stare at me a little perplexed by what I was doing. " What are you trying to say? I shouldn't throw you out and get it over with? What am I saying you cant even understand me." I nodded and she was a little shocked. "You understand me?" More nodding " ... " I saw her eyes roll and down she went.
( Damn it. I thought that would go over better than it did)I started gnawing on the bars of my cage out of boredom. There really isn't a need to describe the taste of it. It was iron. some of the rust came off in my mouth as I chewed and something dinged in my head. / Aquired iron body component. Iron composite 1/10 for lvl 1 iron body. Reccomend host consume more for defensive enhancement./ I slow down my chewing a bit. ( I can enhance my body by consuming things.... that reaper said that too.) I start gnawing the rest of the bars. 2...3...4... on I went.
After a bit there was a smaller ding and a feeling of being heavier. /Aquired Iron Body lvl 1. Evolved body to iron body salamander. Combining with Flame elemental pathway. Combination complete. 30% increase in defense. Short Swords and arrows will scr.a.p.e against your hide. Broadswords will penetrate you nicely..... giggle/ ( What strange sadistic system did I get?!?!)
I hear a groan from the floor. Sam stirs and starts to get up slowly. She rubs her head in confusion and sits. She just sits, staring at me.
