The last time Grey saw one of these seeds, he had just touched it and it shot itself into his body all on its own. This time, he felt the very same hunger he had felt when he saw the arms of the Old Ones. It was like his body was salivating at the prospect of taking it, like it couldn't wait to evolve.
Grey almost immediately checked his status page to see if there were any changes to his INT and PER again. Last time, he had gained an outrageous +100% boost to each of them.
But he had only taken a single glance when it felt like his body exploded.
Streaks of lightning tore a path out from his pores and from a third party's perspective, it almost looked as though he was being torn apart from the inside out.
Yet, though Grey felt a little bit of discomfort, he certainly wasn't feeling anything that could be said to be close to pain.
