Spiritual Seed Awakening 6 Chapter 6: Preparation And Growth

After some measurement of time, and manny worms later,I have grown into a fat baby in a seed. I used my bait, stun combo to perfection, and earned a lot of souls. I have not moved much in fear of gaining the attention of some creature stronger then myself. The mana I have been able to get has filled my reserves about ten percent after so much effort. My soul's power is much stronger then my mana now though. I can eat the corpse worm souls, but I can't really absorb manna as well with my main body. Some of the worms absorbed some mana before dying. So when they die, my second body is able to absorb mana from their corpses. I have no sense of taste with in the worm, but the extra mnana is a nice. My main body on the other hand is still digesting mana from the stone.There is a limit of how much I can absorb at one time. After compressing the manna, and storing it. My main body feel tired. So I mainly use my second body to eat their corpses, and abordb most of the mana. The only thing I have found under ground is [Corpse worms]. I have deduced that I am in a place with a harsh environment, and enough things die to feed these worms. So it's not that safe. Who knows what's around me. The worm souls I've eaten have explored the area for me. I have a mental map of the area underground. It's mostly dirt, rock, and the rare magic crystal. I guess that I'm underground in a cavern or something. None of these worms that have been to the surface know what the sun is. I am underground in some sort of cavern. The shapes of the rock around me tell me that where I am. My soul power is stronger, but I am still careful when using it incase something more powerful notices a yummy seed. I have grown strong enough to where eating [Corpse Worms] is simple. The only problem their soul energy, and manna is of little use to me now. My body is strong enough to bear my soul now. I can stay awake longer in both of my bodies now. I keep eating now, but it's more of a for fun then anything. I have also learned everything there is to learn about corpse worms body and soul. My second body had grown much stronger, but this has grown dull. It takes a strong will to hunt these worms for so long with no way of telling time. The real excitement is when larger life forms above ground walk over me. I was cautious when looking, but after eating all those worm souls. I found not only the dead hang around this dump of a cave, and most creatures don't have a lot of soul power here. The worms have a wide range of information for lack of sight, hearing, and touch. I saw the cave for myself through the worms. My mental map was able to retrace their steps to create a tough idea of the cave. The worms gave me enough of a idea for me to test using second body. l doubt I can see the ceiling, but about four feet above ground around my area is not a big deal for me. The first time I looked I saw bugs, little zombie pest of different kinds, and not much else. I watch as they all move. I scan around and notice dead things lack souls for the most part. I examine these undead, and found those that do have some soul are weak. The undead for the have fragments of soul for the most part, but these are fragments are weak, and usually contain memories of how they died, or strong memories. Resentment and anger seem to be the most common.I am now strong enough to eat weak souls of the dead easily. Low level dead do not really have much of a grip on their souls fragments. I learned that recent dead gain a chance at being undead after absorbing death energy and there seems to be plenty here. The souls of the dead grow weaker over time. The Living creatures creatures have a stronger bond to their soul. They do not lose soul strength for some reason. Also the dead's soul fragments usually have memories that are blurry, and hard to read at best in good situations. After gaining a good amount of strength after eating all those worm soul, I begin to grow bored of this life style. If I stay safe I live longer, and if I explore more. I risk the unknown, and possible death. The research I have done has shown it should not be instant death. I will be careful, and plan well before I explore. I need to rest though. I plan to rest well before I begin. I need to be ready. I rest both of my bodies, while leaving my "eyes" open around my bodies just incase.
