"Now that I have a weapon, I must hunt for food. Hmm, let's see. North and west, we have forests and south mountains; east, we have prairies. There is no road around. Hmm. Let's head west to the forest. There's smoke coming from the west, said Ray.
After walking for about 20 minutes, Ray spots a weird-looking creature at the forest's edge.
"Hmm. Looks like a large salamander. It's about 3ft long and about 1ft tall. It appears to be eating something. I should try to analyze it. How do I cast spells, Athena?" Asked Ray.
"Just focus on the spell you want to cast and its target." Said Athena.
"Ok, let's try it." Said Ray.
Ray focuses on the analysis spell and the salamander. A green ring appears around Ray's hand, circling it until it streaks towards the salamander.

Ray sneaks up behind the salamander and smacks it on its back with his stone club arm. The sound of its backbones shattering from the club smashing into its back. The salamander squealed like a pig, squirming in pain from its broken back. Ray pinned the salamander down with his left foot and smashed its head with his stone club, killing the salamander. Ray got 10 XP for killing the salamander.
"Hmm, I wonder if I can eat this thing?" Asked Ray.
"If you assimilate it, you won't need to eat it," Athena told Ray. The nutrients will be absorbed into your body."

"This is great. I can see that my stats combine with the lizard form. All right, I'll continue west and investigate the smoke, " said Ray.
While traveling, Ray managed to kill three more purple poison Lizards, gaining 30xp. While he assimilated the three lizards, he didn't gain any other gains. After assimilating the last lizard, he noticed that the source of the smoke was just ahead of him, past some trees.
Ray cautiously sneaked past the trees to see what had caused the smoke. He could see some small rickety huts burning down. Ray sneaks around the closest burning hut and sees a dead humanoid creature. Ray sneaks and investigates the remaining area. He counted five huts total and 12 dead bodies.
After verifying that no one was around and that it was safe, Ray gathered all the dead bodies.
"Let's see. I'll try to analyze one of the corps, " Ray said.
Ray casts an analysis on the biggest corps.

"If I assimilate these Goblins and their weapons and armor, it will strengthen me." Said Ray.
As Ray gathered the weapons, something like deja vu came over him. He has been here before. Memories started to wash over him. He remembers living here in this small goblin village, not as a Changeling but as a goblin. Rather than pretending to be a goblin.
He remembered that he had lived here for 2 years before his village got attacked by orcs. He remembered escaping through the woods after being stabbed. Only to die after making it to the prairie. At least the former host of this body.
"So my soul was reincarnated into this body after he died. Well, the most I can do is avenge the former host. I will track these orcs down and destroy them. But first I must get stronger." Said Ray.
Ray assimilated all 12 goblins and some weapons: 1 iron short sword, one iron dagger, one iron war ax, one short bow, a rusty iron helm, and rusty iron chainmail.
After assimilation, Ray gained new skills and
transformations.
