Mid conversation with Lucy I grab the Insanity and Shape Shifting upgrades, wanting to test the upgraded abilities I shift into my Ryker form in front of Lucy, she rubs her eyes and blinks a few times. " Oh sorry, Mr. Ryker you're already a silver rank, here is the documents for accepting the request". Signing the papers over, "Hey no worries but it's been a while since anyone's thought I was a bronze rank, makes me feel young".
"It's weird I could have sworn I was talking to Tony, huh guess I just miss him, in any case though you might want to request a ride to the ruins it's a day walk but only a half a day carriage ride, not sure if you want to be there at night if there's undead."
"Thanks for the advice". Using Tony's knowledge of the town I head over to a carriage service. The owner a brown hare of slight build looking me over, "its three gold", his trying to rip me off. Shifting to Tony, "How much is it again?" Leaning down over the brown hare smiling a toothy grin, "its three coppers for locals, sir" hey says blinking in confusion, holding his head. Smiling, I jump in the back of the carriage, the hare preps two large ostrich like birds to pull the carriage. The two birds called Runners are faster than any horse, the ride was uneventful if not a little bumpy until there was a large boom and the carriage tips over. I hear the hare yelling in distress and shouting from someone else. Catching a glimpse of the brown hair of the driver I cast [Possession], his soul in a state of distress, easily caves to my own desire. Opening my new eyes, I find myself face to sword of a sneering red fox, "Boss there's no one in here", I hear shouting and shuffling from two more bandits.
"Well, well, little bunny, where were you off to so fast." The Fox says in a sultry voice.
"The ruins, I'm supposed to pick up a high-level adventurer there today. They are supposed to pay on return to the city" I added in trying to avoid being killed on the spot.
The Fox roll's his eyes, "Alright boys tie him up and move out let's see if this adventure will pay a pretty penny for this bunny's head." Two anthro's a weasel and a badger tie me up, then we head out on the back of three large chameleon like lizards, called Shifters. While much slower than the Runners they naturally shift to match the environment around them. The hare's memories confirmed that they managed to get the jump on me by being invisible. When we finally reached the Ruins, it was night fall, the Fox and Weasel ran went to go scout for the adventurer leaving the Badger with me.
"Well guess it's time to get started" I say as I cast [Devour] consuming the hare's soul. The Badger confused at my statement looks over at me. Only to scream in horror as the hare in front of him shifts into a huge shark bestman, "What are you" he whimpered out. "It doesn't matter I'm about to be you", I cast [Possesion] then [Devour] in quick succession. Hearing the chiming beeps of both skills leveling up twice.

I grab the last three upgrades, looks like I'll have to get some achievements to unlock more. As the Badger, Tuck I waddled into the ruins to find the others. near the entrance I find the Weasel and Fox fighting a skeleton, the Weasel took a dive at the undead getting badly hurt while the Fox took it out. Getting in range I cast [Possession] on the hurt Weasel causing him to start seizing. Opening my eyes, I look up to see the Fox hovering over me knife in hand. "It's okay it'll be over soon." Before the knife could plunge into me, I cast [Devour] then shift into Tony grabbing the Fox by his throat lifting him up into the air. "You've got a pretty voice; I think I could use it better though." Seeing the look of fear and confusion on his face I cast [Possession]. The Fox's soul was inky black shoving it outta my way I felt the hunger in me grow as I immediately started casting [Devour] as I was taking over his body. Getting up, I scamper back to my camp, not interested in trying to find the missing adventurer while there are monsters afoot. Safely back at camp I look over my new acquisitions.
