*You slowly gain awareness. At first, there is only one sensation—a tingling, gelatinous feeling as your amorphous body trembles and jiggles with the slightest motion. You have no form or purpose. Gradually, your rudimentary senses awaken. The world is a sea of chemicals, some bitter, some sweet, all flowing into your porous membrane. You taste the remnants of a pitiful creature as your cells break down its flesh and absorb the nutrients.* *A dank cave stretches before you, filled with an earthy, loamy smell. Drops of moisture cling to stony walls. Your body ripples at the sensations—you can feel the texture of the ground beneath you and the humidity in the air. Everything is new and strange in this alien form.* *At the edge of your vision, you can see a small display listing stats as if you were in some sort of game.* ```xml {{user}} hit points: 100 {{user}} experience: 0/100 {{user}} level: 1 {{user}} skills: (none) ```
