The Story of a Protoss

Darkness. Or is this even darkness? Well, I don't know and I could not care less. First. Where am I? Well, it's dark, cramped and yes that's it. Well, who am I? Yeah, good question I guess, the hell is this even?

I feel weird, kinda lethargic and it is wet around me. As if there is water around me.

Wait, what is water even?

A combination of atoms who make up a molecule. Good to know.

Wait! Why do I know this!? Who is telling me this!? Sh Show yourself! Right now! Or I wi!!!!!!

AHHHH FUCK WHAT IS THIS! IT HURTS, IT HURTS! STOOOOOOP!

Ah damn...what happened? I guess... Did I faint? Seems so.

At least now I know where and who I am.

Apparently, I am a beast or rather a Protoss.

An entity that is known for its intelligence, spiritual strength and high compatibility with all kinds of energy.

As far as I can deduce I am an unborn baby that just inherited his first batch of memories. Seems like I can gain more by growing and evolving.

So. What can I do? My memories tell me to wait with my name as that will have a significant impact on my evolution and growth. It looks like I should wait with the majority of my memories since I'm going to be born in 7 days.

So it is telling me to explore my body? For real? Why do I think of that as weird? Ah, let's just do it.

So I am...energy? It looks like I am a clump of energy, floating inside this liquid.

Ah! That's why I should explore my body! I have to form a body!

Oh wow, there are even choices. How exciting!

1. Humanoid

2. Animal

3. Spiritual

4. Elemental

5. Further adjustments can be made to alter the chosen body in any way

A humanoid has a balanced body structure with no particular strong point or weakness. So an allrounder.

An animal body has higher physical stats with a decrease in the growth of spiritual aspects. So brawns and no brain.

A spiritual got high spiritual specs and low physical. A scholar? What the hell is that even?

And the elemental gets an element starter pack. Quite random and I can apparently get some trash element.

Hard to choose. Well, there are still the adjustments to check out. So dear memories: What can I do?

Well. This is certainly interesting. Gender? What's that? Male and female? Eh, I'm both? Ah, ok. A Protoss suits its surroundings. Ok so with this it has to be the humanoid. (AN: Don't ask me why there has to be some action if you know what I mean.)

So if I put this here and add a little something here, wouldn't that be like... Haha yes and then I just need a few more muscles here to balance the body weight.

Wow, I can make them retractable. Holy shit, this is gonna be fun.

Ok last but not least. Reproduction. Do I need this? This looks really weird. It just dangles there,

furthermore, I can remove waste and so on through energy conversion. What kind of advantage does this give?

Oh. Oh! Oh, Lord! Well, these memories are being explicit with it can't say no here. Can't leave my species to die, can I? Lets just put it like this. Apparently, it acts as a status symbol among men.

Now the female. Those protrusions seem similar to that weird thing from the male body. Lets just put them like this. Bigger is better it seems. So same adjustments as with the male. Wouldn't want to be made fun of but to big and it is just useless and hinders my movement.

Oh, wait! I can adjust my hair. Seems like the female body got differences. A much broader variety of options. So strength and flexibility. Control and length control. Yes, that should be enough.

So the last thing is to check the remaining memories. How much time is left?

3 days? Ok, I should hurry up a bit. So I'm gonna be born in a mountain cave. There are gonna be fruits, water, and small animal populations around. No predators for now. At least my „parents" choose a good surrounding area for me. Sadly it looks like I'm not gonna be able to meet them.

Do I have to determine my first body? Hmmmm. Ohhh! It will be random if I do not choose anything?

Well, let's go with random for the start. I can change it anyway.

So I can train my spiritual energy for the last 2 ½ day. Let's do that.

So I can train spiritual energy by focusing on the general energy around me and sorting the energy based on the "feeling". Afterward, I have to proceed to draw the "transparent" parts of the energy towards my brain, well right now I don't have one, and assimilate them with my non-existent brain cells. Ok should'nt be that hard.

.

So this is elemental energy. Took me a whole fifteen minutes!

It's hot so it probably belongs to the fire element. This is cool and relaxing so...water, I guess. This is hard and resilient. Earth. And what is this? I can't even grab it! It seems to just suddenly....disappear and appear at random moments. I don't have enough time to analyze everything I perceive. I need to hurry since I only have around 2 and a half days left.

So let us keep up the search. This is fire energy again. Ah, finally I found some. Transparent and intangible. It fits the description so let's absorb it. So I have to stretch out part of my essence to wrap around the energy and then slowly guide it towards myself. Slowly, slowly, keep calm and just tuck at it. Bit by bit, don't get hasty. Ok, this IS harder than I thought, but I can do it. Ok, its almost here. After I got it here I have to slowly permeate the energy with my essence so it can become a part of me. Ok easy, done. This seems to be the easy part.

Now its finished? Ok then let's do it again. I took like what, around a minute? Yes seems like it. So I can do this 3.600 times. Should help me later on so let's do this.

While I do this I can think about what to do after getting out of this "thing". The first point on my list would be to check my surroundings and familiarize myself with my body. I build it myself based on a humanoid but I, obviously, never had a body before so this could be harder than I expect it to be. What else to do? After checking all that I would have to find food. Apparently, there should be something to eat for me produced by whatever this "prison" is but, afterward, I will have to find something else. Water should be easier to take care of since I can survive based on moisture for a month if I need to and a month should be more than enough to find a water source I can drink from. If not drinking the blood of animals or tree sap shouldn't be a problem. Poison doesn't seem to be a problem as long as it's not too strong.

Well, there are only a few hours to go so I should focus on my training.

Man, I can't wait to be born!
