Epic of Caterpillar

chapter-25
In a long, endless hall, shrouded in darkness lit by candlesticks, a young boy with silver hair ran desperately, looking for something dearly.
"Haaahhh… Haaahhhh… Where? Where?!"
As he ran through the corridor, it seemed as if the hall was endless, and the darkness never disappeared. The boy could only guide himself by the pale light of the candles.
"Haaahhh… Ghh…!"
The boy seemed extremely desperate, in deep despair."Where?! Haaahhh…!"
His eyes were lost; his uneasiness and despair completely disfigured his face, giving him a look, not of his age.
"Why?! Whyyyy?! Haaahhh… I must hurry! I must!"
As the boy ran with all his strength, one could notice his royal lineage clothes, now tattered and full of dirt.
"Uuugghhh! No! Not here! Where?! Where?!"
The boy started to check on every room he came across, only finding complete darkness inside them, as if every room was filled with a darkness not of this world.
"Ghh! This… My heart… I can't keep running anymore… Ugh, I need to endure! Where?! WHERE?!"As the boy approached the end of the hall, a strange and bizarre aura filled his heart, embracing it in pain.
"Aaggh! What is this?! But, that's it! There!"
When the boy came closer to the end of the hall, a big black door, decorated with countless markings and skulls, erected in front of him.
"Here! Strength Enhancement!"
The boy conjured a spell, which gave him the strength to be able to open the massive door.
Clash!
"Ahh! Sist-"
The scene inside the room was too much, too bizarre, too crude for such a young kid.
When humans experience such traumas and fears at young ages, they cannot get over it easily, as if it were a curse inside of you, the fear, the despair, and the experience would accompany you forever. Forever engraved in the deepest parts of your mind, your heart.
As if the room lacked any kind of air, the kid could not talk anymore, frozen in time, he could only look, and even if he wanted to look away, to stop seeing such a scene, his body would not respond.
In the room, countless robed men were raising their hands.
Some were drinking cups of what looked like a red beverage, blood, perhaps.
Others, on their ecstasies, could only laugh.
On the center of the room, over a table made of stone, the naked body of a young human girl, laid motionless.
The belly of the girl was completely open, showing red and oozing organs, sprouting countless blood, painting the stone table on a deep crimson.
The eyes of the girl looked desperate and in extreme pain, despite her already being dead.
She died a horrible death, full of pain, despair, and fear.
Why?
Why would this happen?
What is the point of this?
What is the reason for this?
The boy could not speak, and stayed still, on the floor, as if he were a statue.
While the robed men celebrated their bloodfest, the boy's mind went to complete metamorphosis.
His beliefs.
His understandings.
His feelings.
What makes you a human?
What is the line that a human should never cross?
Humans are horrible.
Humans are the worst.
Humans are trash.
Why am I a human?
Being a human is a curse.
Being born is a curse.
Existence is a curse.
Why do I exist?
What is the point of existing?
Everything I love is taken away.
Everything I want to protect is destroyed.
I cannot understand why.
They betrayed me.
My own race stabbed me on the back.
My own people.
My family.
My sister did not deserve this.
Why?
As the boy submerged himself on his despairing thoughts, thick darkness enveloped his body.
Suddenly, he lost his sight.
When he opened his eyes, he was on the Kingdoms Throne, surrounded by his loyal servants.
Undead and Goblins, beings of darkness, they were the only things he could trust now.
"Aahh… That dream again…"
A little undead girl on his side greeted his Master.
"Good Morning, Master"
The mage looked at the undead girl and greeted her.
"Good Morning… Sister…"
"Master, reporting in, the Goblins have already set up around the one who devoured 8 Emperors, Kireina's hideout, they will strike tomorrow after preparations are ready"
"Tomorrow? What hour is it?"
"5 AM, Master"
"Ah, I see…"
The mage rested his back into the throne while looking at the hall ceiling, his pale face slowly started to form a smile.
"Hahaha… Kireina… You're no more than a stepping stone for me. I, the one who committed the ultimate human sin, I have no limits. There are no boundaries anymore… Right, Sister?"
Given a strange command, the undead girl could not respond and stayed in silence.
"…"
The mage watched the motionless undead girl and looked at her with a determined gaze.
"I will find your soul someday. I will never lose hope. The only thing I have left is you"
"…"

"Most of these choices were quite weird, I am not choosing holy mother and succubus, and shadow gets shafted with mid future evolutions, it's between nine spirits and vampire…"
"Even though spirit possession sounds like a strong skill, having to nurture 9 Children like Meiji will be hell… I will go for the safe choice and choose Vampire"

[Day 26]
Flash!
"Eeeh? M-Master? Master Kireina? I-Is that you? Is this your evolution appearance? Oh my… Such beauty… She is still sleeping…"
While sleeping I felt as if someone started to touch my entire body, it felt weird and I could barely stay sleeping. My body also felt too long, and I could not move my butterfly arms anymore.
"Aaah~ Master body is so soft…"
"Hmmm…"
"Master… Legs are so smooth, so plump… Ah! They are so squishy…"
"Hmm…?"
"Aaaahh~ I can't take it anymore… I must touch her belly…"
Squish!
"Hmmm??"
"Her belly is so adorable and smooth, her skin so white! And she smells like roses…"
"Hmmm ghhh…"
Chu
Chu
"Ah~! I can't contain myself; kissing Master belly is the best!"
"Hmm! W-What…!"
I quickly noticed what was going on, Zehe was abusing my sleep to touch my body to her heart's content. Is she a degenerate like me?
When I opened my eyes, I was finally able to move my body again, and I found Zehe completely naked over my new belly, kissing it intensively.
"What's going on?"
"M-Master! I-I… Congratulations on your evolution…! Yes…!"
"Z-Zehe what were you doing?"
"N-Nothing…"
I started to inspect my new body; it was the body of a young human girl, different than the fairies I have seen before who had the same size as a butterfly. My skin was pale white and very smooth, my legs were plump and fatty, and my hips were quite big, I had a belly with a little bit of fat on it too. After further inspection, I found out my back was completely covered in crimson-colored tattoos, my fingernails were purple-colored and long. I also had long purple hair, which ended in a crimson red. My small forehead was decorated with three pointed horns and I had two majestic crimson and purple colored butterfly wings on my back.
When I went to see my face on a mirror, I had more crimson markings below my two big purple eyes, which seemed like two beautiful shining gems. My nose was small and cute and my lips were a beautiful red.
"Aaaahhh… (Now I am totally a girl… I was kind of getting away with it because a butterfly doesn't really look different between genders, but this… My whole body structure changed too, it feels incredibly weird to change from a bug body to a human body, it's impressive how you can do something like this in this world)"
Zehe took some of the bedsheets and covered her naked sweaty body.
"M-Master… Are you all right? It must be hard to have a full-body transformation like this, you should rest"
"Sigh… There's no time to rest, I must start the training and all…"
"Master, if you let me say so, your new body is incredibly beautiful… I have never seen such a beautiful and delicate body before; your entire body seems like a carefully made doll"
I quickly noticed that Zehe was glancing at my small and cute body with incredible lust in her eyes. I noticed that I was also naked when I was a butterfly I didn't need to care about wearing clothes, but now as a Humanoid, I should wear some.
I opened my door and called two Spider Maids. I told them to bring me some clothes.
They were quite impressed with my new appearance.
"Yes, Master!"
When I closed the door, Zehe was still on my bed, looking at me with lustful eyes.
"Sigh... Z-Zehe? Are you okay?"
"M-Master… After seeing such beauty… I… I… I think… I'm in heat…"
"Eh? (You are in heat. What do you mean? Are you a dog now?!)"
"What do you want me to do about it…?"
Zehe raised her arms and showed me her naked breast.
"Well… We are… In a relationship now… And now that you are finally a humanoid, should we…"
"Ah! (S-She want to do it! B-But how do you do it between females… Should I… no! Wait… I…)"
Without thinking much about it, I decided to go to bed with Zehe.
.
.
.
When Zehe touched, kissed, and licked every inch of my body to her heart's content, the Spider Maids conveniently came with my new clothes.
"H-Here, Master…"
"Master, are you okay?"
"Haaahh… Zehe… (I can't believe how much of a degenerate Zehe is, although I can't deny that I enjoyed it… It felt so weird to experience pleasure with a female body)"
Zehe was still naked on my side of the bed, still exited.
"Haaahhh… Master… Your body is so delicious, like a carefully fermented beer…"
"(What kind of comparison is that?!) Aaahh… Zehe your body is also very beautiful is something I always… Looked at… Even when we trained…"
"Eh? Really, Master?"
"Y-Yeah… Don't feel as if you are ugly or something… You must be a very beautiful person to be chosen by me after all!"
Zehe went in extreme excitement again, and her eyes were filled with lust.
"M-Master… Please! Touch my body too! Do everything you want to me!"
"(EEHH?!) Ah! I… Okay then… I will show you… how truly I love you…"
"M-Master…"
Zehe grabbed me to her side and kissed my lips, it was my first kiss on this humanoid body, and it was full of passion and sexual desire.
Afterward, I proceeded to touch, kiss, and licked every inch of Zehe's body that I loved, going all out and fulfilling most of my lustful wishes.
.
.
.
Zehe finally turned her lustful mode off, and was calmer, with a warm and lovely smile.
"Master… I have never experienced such love… I feel… Special…"
"Y-You are special… to me"
"M-Master…"
"You don't need to call me Master, just call me by my name (Even if I hate it)"
"Dear Kireina…"
"Hmm! That's good"
I give Zehe another kiss on her beautiful lips and told her to dress, she can't go around completely naked.
I also checked my new clothes.
"Haahh, isn't this a little bit provocative?"
The dress was similar to Zehe's dress, being a little dress that ended in a loincloth between my legs, it also showed the sides of my legs completely, and exposed my back too, but I think the back is okay because I need to fit my big wings in there. It was black and purple-colored, with various decorations around the chest area.
In the chest area, a part was utilized to show off the upper part of my breast and the middle line of them. Although my breasts were not so developed, they were still noticeable on the dress, creating an erotic look, my arms were completely bare and my small shoulders too.
This "armor" set also included a pair of boots instead of Zehe's heels, which I appreciated because it would be too hard to wear heels with my inexperience.
The boots were quite beautiful and combined well with the dress, they were black with small heels, not too difficult for me to walk in them. The tops were decorated with some kind of magical flower petals, which embraced nude legs, creating some kind of purple colored stockings, the petals produced a strong and sweet fragrance.
"Hmm! I guess I am ready! This dress is quite erotic, but what can you expect from a fantasy world?"
After finally dealing with Zehe's lust and my clothes, I decided to check my Status Window.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Gaahh! Too many things!"

"Oh! The troll classes showed up as well! So it really works like this! Ahh! It feels so good! What should I choose?"
Inside my head, my three minds give their opinions.
"Hmm, definitely don't pick the novice classes, they obviously must be weak compared to the rest"
"Come to think of it… What do classes really do? Can you check…?"
"I guess so"
I checked each class, it seems that a class actually just consist of a series of skills and passive buffs that you can obtain while leveling up, you then use skill points to select the skills or permanent passive buffs. I can change class again every 10 levels, being able to choose skills from different classes and make my build.
