We parted ways with Kira. I went home while he went to his.
I was a bit worried since the transformation would be extremely painful. Usually, when someone underwent transformation, there would be someone to care for them. But I didn't have my parents to take care of me during this process.
I looked at my spider friend and thought about naming him. Various names came to mind, but I settled on Darkie. It sounded good, and through our bond, I informed Darkie of his new name. He agreed and seemed to like it.
Darkie was a black widow spider, and he had excellent web and poison abilities that I could use to control and eliminate my enemies. After the transformation, I would gain his abilities. I didn't know which parts of my body would change to accommodate these powers, but I was certain it would be painful.
As my anxiety rose, Darkie feeling that used his web to create a comfortable bed for me.
Time passed, and it was soon time for my transformation. Darkie crawled onto my hand and touched it with his head. Over the past five hours, we had grown very close, perhaps due to our bond. I felt a heat building inside me, gradually intensifying until it turned into pain.
I closed my eyes and tried to ignore it, but the pain was so immense that I couldn't. Lying on the web-bed that Darkie made for me, I stared at the ceiling of my room. I saw Darkie trying to help me and laughed at his antics. For the first time, I felt warmth from another being. Yes, Kira cared about me, but Darkie was different. He felt so warm and close to me...
I loved this feeling...
For a moment, I was able to forget the pain. Soon, I regretted that thought, as my hands and two of my teeth began to ache. I felt as if the bones in my hands and teeth were being replaced by liquid and web.
I realized that my hands and teeth were the first parts changing. Other areas of my body were also in pain, but they didn't hurt as much.
Eventually, I passed out from the intensity of it all.
I woke up the next morning, contemplating our future together, Darkie and I. We were now bonded and couldn't be separated. But uncertain future, made me worried about what would happen next.
After some time, I stood up and looked in the bathroom mirror. Darkie, sensing my movements, climbed up to my shoulder. My reflection showed that my face hadn't changed much, but my skin had become silky, it felt smooth and incredible to the touch. My hands and teeth had transformed too. The veins in my arms were more pronounced and green, indicating that Darkie's poison now coursed through them. My two teeth were full of poison, allowing me to inject venom when I bit, but now I was more concerned about my hands since I couldn't test how my teeth worked.
I also discovered that I could produce web from my palms and fingertips. I realized I would need some time to master web control.I tried to make things using my web, and it worked. I created a shirt that didn't look bad and baggy pants. They were white and suited me well. Through my senses, I detected that they were much tougher than my usual clothes. I realized I could create a sort of armor for myself and my teammates.
I looked at the shirt and pants and thought, "What if I add my poison to them?" I infused some poison into the shirt, and it turned a greenish color. I deduced that if someone attacked me while I was wearing these clothes, they would get poisoned if they touched the fabric with their skin. This was useful information, assuming my theory was correct. However, I could only create poisoned clothes that I could wear, as only Darkie and I were immune to this poison.
Kira called me and said, "Tomorrow is the exam day at Monster Academy. Are you preparing?"
I was startled by this news; it was a huge event for every new Symbix. Academies were where everything began for them, making it crucial to attend a good one that could provide resources for cultivation and knowledge.
"Yeah, I'm preparing for it. By the way, can you come to my house and take me with you to the Academy exam?"
"Yes, I was planning to do that too. Be ready, I'll be at your home at seven," he said before hanging up.
After receiving this news, I ate my dinner and went to bed. It was already late, and I had spent a lot of time creating clothes...
