(Random Alleyway, Tokyo)
"When he said it would be hilarious for him, i didn't think he meant this. But that's on me for not expecting this" i muttered to the floor, still thinking about the unthinkable cosmic horrors that i had to experience in the process of coming to this world.
I thought i lost consciousness when ROB clapped his hands but nooooo, i got the full cosmic experience of being brought into a new reality. The silver lining being that i don't think I'll ever feel fear from anything in this world anymore.
I can't even comprehend what I saw anymore but I can still feel the extreme fear and confusion it brought. That was not going away anytime soon.
"Let's get up first, the floor is not a very delectable cuisine." I said, before getting up and examining myself.
I seem to have been transported into an alleyway as ROB said, the location was probably Japan if the language my enhanced hearing is picking up is correct.
Of course it was Japan, why won't it be. Every reincarnation story seems to happen in Japan apparently. Goddamn cliche.
Finished analyzing the place I was currently in. I started analyzing myself.
Just when I was thinking a mirror would be convenient in this situation, a red and black tendril suddenly grew from my back and morphed into a wide reflective surface in front of me.
"Ooo..so that's how my powers work, i don't even have to give any effort to utilise it. Just a thought and it's done." With a mirror now in front of me, it became much easier to analyze myself.
I still looked like myself in my past life, the same eyes and the same stressful hair that seems to grow however it wants no matter what I do. But that gave me an idea, since I was a symbiote now I could change my appearance to whatever I liked.
And sure enough, my whole body began changing with just a thought. Skin shifting, bones realigning and hair changing. A few moments later, i looked like an average white guy, then an asian guy, then a woman, then a dog.
"This is sick! I can become whoever I want in no time at all. This could be very useful. Now, for the main event.."
My whole body began to change once again, but this time it became red with black accents. My height and size also increased, my face morphed into a terrifying thing with two giant white eyes and a maw full of sharp teeth. I looked exactly like Carnage, or i was Carnage to be accurate. A monstrosity made of sharp claws and teeth, powerful muscles and tendrils that look menacing in the dim light.
I just continued looking at my reflection in the mirror, completely captured by how cool I looked. For any normal person unfamiliar with the symbiotes, I looked like something straight out of a nightmare, but for someone who was a fan of the symbiotes, I looked awesome.
"Damn do I look good, and my voice too. This is the best! Hahaha." I couldn't contain my excitement. This was the dream in my past life, yet now I was living it.
"Okay Carnage don't get too excited, you can admire yourself after you fully examine yourself." Reminding myself that there were more things to try out i began testing some of them.
Tendrils, weapons, wings, form changes,unique powers like super speed, I tested all i could right now. It was a good thing no one paid any attention to the alley I was in. But even if they did, I could just run away and blend into a crowd before they could do anything.
Next came the Yamato, It was beautiful. It looked like it could cut you just by looking at it. Even when i put it in the sheath, it practically oozed power.
I changed back into a human form and tested the blade on the back wall of the alley. One simple slash and the wall had a smooth cut running across it. No debris, no nothing. Just a clean cut.
"*whistle*....now that is sharp. Coocking is about to become very flashy" i sheathed the sword again because the other moves needed some space and i didn't know if I could adjust the power yet.
"Now where the hell do i put it? I can't really walk around with a katana on my hip.....hmmmm...I wonder if I can just store it in my body..." Testing if I could really store it, I put the blade in front of my chest and pressed it into me. And sure enough it disappeared completely into my body. I could still feels it but it didn't restrict my movements at all.
"That's convenient, i don't have to carry it on my hands all the time this way.....hmmm...I wonder if it can change into an arm like in the games, nah I'll test that out later." I said, getting rid of the thought. I had more immediate things to worry about.
I was a literal nobody in this world, no identity or proof of my existence on any database in the whole world. Which came with advantages and disadvantages of its own.
"So, what should I do next?...I don't have any money, no family, no friends, no nothing....I'm pretty sure I don't even know the language either, but that can be fixed quite easily. I just need some lowlife to eat and absorb."
Yeah that sounds good. I need to know and understand the language, then figure out where exactly was i dropped. Sure I could use my powers to produce gas and then use it on someone without harming them, but that would take too long and it was quite boring.
Besides, I'm pretty sure the memories of the person would come in handy. And i can even use their identity to set myself up.
"But first I need to change my form....hmmm....what would be a good target for trash....oh! That sounds good."
Responding to my though, my body began changing again. When it was over, I had become a woman. I made sure to make myself as subtly attractive as possible. So just the right breast size where it was not too big nor small. A cute face and all that.
"Yeah this seems good enough. Now when I walk into some sketchy street, I'm pretty sure some lowlife will surely attack me."
Satisfied with the results, i walked out into the main street and blended into the crowd of people.

*step* *step* *step*
The hurried steps of a woman running could be heard in the dingy alley between a construction site and an abandoned building. This place was generally avoided by the general public due to the presence of low rank villains and drug addicts.
But right now, a woman was being chased by two thugs who looked like they belonged in a 90's gangster movie. The woman had unfortunately taken a wrong turn at the wrong moment which had left her by herself. The two thugs had taken notice of this and quietly followed and driven her into this alley.
Now they were enjoying themselves, chasing their victim straight into a dead end. From the way they moved,you could tell that they had done this several times. They were quite infamous in the area, doing small time crimes that left them out of the radar of big name heroes while being smart enough to hide from the heroes that patrolled the area.
Today too they were lucky enough to find this victim, and just in time to avoid the patrolling hero of this neighborhood.
*huff* *huff* *huff*
The woman was running out of breath, she looked terrified as she switched between looking in front of her and behind her. And soon enough, she reached a dead end. Just what the two thugs had been waiting for.
They slowly approached her as she tried her best to look brave and face them. You could clearly see the lust in their eyes as they licked their lips.
"Well...well...well, look at what we have here Geki. A delicious meal for us to savour..heheheh." One of the thugs said with a disgusting smile.
"Try not to harm her too much Toshi, we can't risk attracting too much attention right now" the other thug, Geki replied. He looked more excited while chasing the women than what was about to happen.
"Yeah yeah, don't worry too much. I'll just have a little fun with her. You're free to join you know..kekeke" Toshi said, still maintaining that creepy grin on his face.
"I'd rather not, I would rather hunt some stray cats instead of this. It's more exciting" Geki replied with a bored expression.
Meanwhile the woman was trembling as she looked between the two thugs. She looked liked she would break down any moment now. And Toshi seem to enjoy that even more.
"Why don't you tell us your name pretty miss? Let's get to know each other better, what do you say?" Toshi said to the woman as he grabbed her chin with his left hand and restrained her arms over her head with his right.
The woman just continued trembling as she struggled to try and escape from his grip.
"Don't wanna talk, well that too bad. No matter, I'll hear your screams when i ravage you anyway hahaha." Toshi continued as he pulled the woman's face closer trying to kiss her.
But just as he was about to kiss her, the whole atmosphere changed.
"Wha-*mmph*..." He could not finish his sentence as his mouth was suddenly covered by a gooey substance. His legs were also complely restrained by the substance.
Geki was quick to react as he was further away from them and tried to make some more distance between them. He activated his quirk: which allowed him to hide his presence to a certain extent and made him hard to detect by the five senses.
However, a red and black tendril suddenly shot out from the woman at an impossible speed and grabbed him by his mouth before he could even react to the attack.
The tendril then pulled him towards the woman slowly as he struggled. The woman just stared at them like they were a pair of dead flies, the earlier terror and panic all gone from her being.
When they were both face to face with her the woman began just opened her mouth and to the horror of the two thugs it began to split. It began as a tear in her jaw before i extended all the way to side of her face.
The inside of her now gaping maw was full of rows of teeth that looked like they could shred a person to pieces.
"*Hmphhh*"....."*whimper*" both of the thugs looked pale when faced with this monster. Geki tried his best to escape from gooey restraints. As for Toshi, he had lost all strength and just pissed his pants.
Then slowly and deliberately, the woman brought the struggling Geki before her and right in front of the whimpering Toshi, she bit his whole head off.
The headless bodyof Geki went limp a second later. The woman then closed her giant mouth and closed her eyes. A few seconds later she opened them again, she then looked at Toshi and spoke in a haunting voice," Can you understand me now? Nod if you can understand me."
Toshi vigorously started nodding his head. And this seemed to please the woman. She then used her tendrils to fully absorb the headless body of Geki before speaking to Toshi again,"Toshi was it?....don't be scared handsome...let's get to know each other better.....hahahahaHAHAHAH"
Toshi could only look on in fear as the woman's body began transforming into a monster right in front of his eyes and carried him into the abandoned building.
The monster's laughter could be heard even after they both had entered the building.....
