Rebirth into Swallowed Star, Starting with a Pybara?

"What is this? I've transmigrated into a Capybara!"

Looking at the reflection in the pond, Ye Xiu's mind could not calm down for a long time.

How could this happen?

He had only stayed up all night playing Honor of Kings.

Yet, when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a wasteland world.

Furthermore, after the transmigration, Ye Xiu was no longer a human.

How could this be?

Just as Ye Xiu was feeling incredibly conflicted, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully binding the Devouring Starry Sky System. You can level up by devouring.]

Alright then.

Devouring Starry Sky System?

Could it be that I have been reborn into the world of Swallowed Star?

No wonder this place looks like a ruin.

The air is also filled with a rotten and bloody stench.

At a glance, it is clearly not an environment where humans could live.

But, as a Capybara, do I even have predatory instincts?

Just as Ye Xiu was struggling with this thought, a cat's meow suddenly came from behind him.

Then, he saw a Shadow Cat, its size not inferior to Ye Xiu's Capybara form, leap out.

This is the lowest-tier Monster Soldier in Swallowed Star.

They are supposed to appear in packs, but today he had run into a lone one.

It was clear that this mutated cat was very hungry.

It was preparing to make Ye Xiu its dinner.

However, at this moment, a system prompt popped up again.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering your first prey. Successfully activated the Newbie Gift Pack.]

[Ding, congratulations on successfully unlocking the Black Hole Engine. It can devour all things. Initial diameter: 15 centimeters.]

What?

This is a skill?

A black hole?

It can devour everything.

This is a bit heaven-defying!

"Meow!"

The Shadow Cat opposite him did not have a system.

When it saw this silly-looking "big rat" standing motionless, drool immediately began to drip from its mouth.

Thus, it lunged directly toward the prey's hindquarters.

That area was full of thick, chunky meat.

Biting into it, the feeling of the juices bursting out would surely be satisfying!

However, just as this big cat was about to reach the Capybara, the target seemed to have finally adjusted its posture.

In the next moment, something incredible happened.

The Capybara lifted its head.

The space behind it suddenly twisted.

Then, a rotating energy vortex appeared out of thin air.

This was a black hole.

A mini black hole.

As it unfolded, Ye Xiu suddenly felt as if he had some kind of connection to this thing.

He could use his will to rotate the direction of the black hole and target specific objects for absorption.

"Whoosh!"

"Meow!"

By the time the Shadow Cat realized something was wrong.

It was already too late.

A powerful suction force erupted from that small black hole, which was only 15 centimeters in diameter.

Before the cat could even react.

Its claws were pulled uncontrollably toward that direction.

Along with them, the Shadow Cat's nearly two-meter-long body was dragged in as well.

The scene was quite surreal.

During its flight.

Those wide-open cat eyes brushed right past the Capybara's forehead.

Damn it!

That was close!

But something even more incredible was yet to come.

First, the cat's paw was sucked into the black hole.

Then, the cat's body seemed to be compressed by some terrifying force.

Its relatively massive frame was forcibly squeezed until it looked like a fried dough stick.

Then, segment by segment, it was pulled into the black hole.

During this process, the Shadow Cat's blood and bodily fluids were forcibly expelled.

However, they didn't scatter.

They were quickly drawn in by the black hole, tracing twisted curves as they were absorbed.

At the same time.

Ye Xiu suddenly felt his entire body heating up.

An inexplicable sense of fullness emerged in his stomach.

It was as if he had absorbed all of the monster's cells and physical energy.

How miraculous!

Though the process seemed complex.

In reality, it took less than five seconds.

An entire Shadow Cat had been forcibly devoured by this thing.

And when everything finally settled.

The system notification appeared once more.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing your first devouring. Your initial data is as follows:]

[Name] Ye Xiu

[Race] Mutated Giant Rodent

[Level] High-Tier Beast Soldier

[Skill] Black Hole Domain (30 cm)

If not for this system prompt.

Ye Xiu might not have even noticed that after devouring his first target.

The diameter of the black hole behind him had actually reached 30 centimeters.

So, devouring monsters not only makes me feel full, but also expands the diameter of the black hole.

Not bad, not bad!

I like this move!

With his confidence restored, Ye Xiu's mind slowly returned to a normal state.

As a transmigrator, he began to recall the settings from Swallowed Star.

The Capybara was also a peak race in Swallowed Star.

Wasn't the legendary Extreme King Heavy Arrow King's human body just such a creature?

However.

For the current Ye Xiu.

Reaching that stage was still a long way off.

He had to first survive in this city overrun by monsters.

And just as he was contemplating his future path.

Another wolf howl echoed in his ears.

"Awoo!"

Then, he saw a massive shadow leap over Ye Xiu's head.

It looked like a wolf-shaped monster.

There was a large scar on its hind leg, resembling a gunshot wound, and it was still dripping blood.

It felt as if it were fleeing for its life.

This guy?

Could it be a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf?

Relying on his memory and the corner of his eye from earlier.

Ye Xiu suddenly recognized the creature's identity.

At the same time, a sense of crisis welled up within him.

Who was it?

Who had wounded the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf?

Instinctively, Ye Xiu rushed toward the mottled, abandoned building on the side.

He even deliberately hid downwind.

Clearly.

This was a wise choice.

Not long after, a series of heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside.

He saw over a dozen fully armed humans rushing over, wielding all sorts of weapons.

There were firearms, broadswords, and heavy blades...

It was obvious they were tracking their prey.

"Where did it go?"

"There are bloodstains on the ground, everyone split up and search!"

"Groups of three, prevent that beast from ambushing us!"

Human martial artists?

They were well-trained, forming small formations with their backs to one another, vigilantly searching every corner where it might be hiding.

The scent of blood permeating the air came not only from the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf but also from these martial artists who lived life on the edge of a blade.

"Over here! The blood trail leads into the abandoned factory!"

A burly man holding a giant axe growled.

The squad immediately adjusted their direction, cautiously advancing toward the factory gate not far from where Ye Xiu was hiding.

Just as the leader stepped one foot into the shadows of the factory.

"Awoo--!"

A wolf howl filled with pain and ferocity tore through the silence!

That silver-gray figure pounced from behind a massive load-bearing pillar inside the factory like a ghost!

Its speed was so fast that it left only a blur!

Its target was none other than the burly man with the axe!

"Watch out!"

A martial artist nearby holding a shield and a combat blade reacted with lightning speed, lunging forward to raise his shield in defense.

"Clang!"
