CATMAN - 3 Ordeal Of Full Moon
Looking at the body of the man all bloodied, Auden gulped his saliva.
After he had become CatMan, there were two things that made him drool. One was the fish that cat loved to eat and another was the blood; human blood.
Maybe because his being CatMan and receiving the system was related to that demon cat so he also had a liking to the blood but he wasn’t so sure. Wiping away the drool from his lips, he took out a red marble-like thing from his pocket and crushed it with his palms.
Red smokes came out from the marble and slowly rose up to high air and dispersed making whoever saw the red smoke know the location of the alley. It was usually used for giving out one’s location to superhero patrolling the area so that they would come and offer some help.
He had also used it for the same purpose. After the superhero finds the body then he would get it to hospital and as well as help that unconscious lady. He didn’t want to reveal himself because of what power he had was unheard of.
There was no such thing as some animal man in this world and even if one had the ability to copy them, they couldn’t take their form. Even after fusing with a summons from another world, it wouldn’t make them completely monster like and fusion was very different and difficult in its own way.
If someone were to see him then he would be asked many questions of which he himself didn’t know any answers. He then with that in mind walked passed the unconscious lady and opened the cover of what seemed like a manhole. Entering the hole, he again put back the cover and sat on the ground.
It was actually a tunnel that interconnected all the underground pathways. He had stumbled upon it when he was running away from bullies and now it came in use for other reasons as well; Like hiding himself in the tunnel while the full moon was still up.
Every full moon he would be unable to control this ability of his. His mind would go blank and he would be in a state where he didn’t know what he did. The first time it had happened was when he was peacefully sleeping in his room and his parents were out on a dinner.
Out of nowhere, he lost control of his body and his mind went blank as the cat form automatically maintained over his body. The last thing he knew before going in an unconscious state was, he had just gone to bed.
But after waking up lying on the floor instead of bed he was previously sleeping at, he found out everything that had happened. His memory of the incident was vague but seeing those claw marks in the wall, even he could guess what had happened. Because of that incident, he had to cover all of his room’s wall with newspaper so as to not let his parents know about it.
The thought he had on his mind was what if his parents were present when this incident had happened? He couldn’t even think of such a possibility. Since that day, he had become weary of this ability of his.
He today had also come here because of this ability after lying to his parents that he was going to study in his friend’s house and will be sleeping there for the night.
The tunnel he was in was also covered in many scars of his claws. Sitting by himself there, he was bored to the bone. He then asked to the system,
“When will I be able to use magic?”
Ring~
The articulate female voice replied immediately.
[Host’s body isn’t suitable for using magic. If the host wants to use magic then the system would have to modify the body of the host and with the current level of the host, he would die if his body is modified for the purpose of using magic. After reaching a certain level, the system will automatically notify the host if the modifications are possible.]
Auden sighed hearing this. No matter what, he was always going to get the same answer. He then said,
“Status”

From what he had discovered, the CP required for evolution wasn’t the CP he had but the amount of CP he had collected till now. Since 200 CP was used in buying Indiscriminate Claws from the cat shop of the system, he currently only had 120 points which he was saving for buying another skill.
When the full moon reached its peak, his eyes turned red and his mind went blank.
***
When he woke up, there were many new scars on the tunnel and he didn’t even know how he was able to give the scars so deep.
Even when he would use the claws with all his power, he wouldn’t have been able to leave scars this deep and only at full moon when his body didn’t know anything, he would create such scars.
As always in the morning when he woke up after the night of the full moon, he was greeted with the ring.
[Survived through Ordeal of the full moon. The host has received 10 CP which can be claimed through the mailbox.]
He didn’t know what would happen at the night of full moon but when he would wake up, he would find himself getting awarded with 10 CP which was literally free for him who didn’t do anything.
He then stood up from the tunnel and stretched his body which had become sore. Since it was morning already, he had the school to attend to, so he had to first go to his house for some breakfast.
How did he know that it was morning already? Well, the screen floating in the air also showed the time which displayed 6:00 a.m.
