My Life as a Salamander Chapter 8

Sam walked into the room quickly placing me on the round wooden table by the door . Tears streamed down her face as an ugly expression settled on her features . " What can they expect from a failure of a daughter? They put me in this room in a cold, dark part of the mansion and expect me to flourish? Ha! They really are delusional . I might as well throw you out the window and hang myself from the chandelier in the main hall . " She looked glumly at me . I stared back and remembered where I had seen those eyes before .

It was before I was hospitalised . After my parents funeral I was forced out of my inheritance by greedy bastards that I called family . With my parents and sister gone . I had nothing . I remember what I felt then . Probably what she feels now . An hollow but fuming rage .

I looked at her and did something i probably shouldn't have . I shook my head as best as I could . She continued to stare at me a little perplexed by what I was doing . " What are you trying to say? I shouldn't throw you out and get it over with? What am I saying you cant even understand me . " I nodded and she stopped dead with a little shock . "You understand me?" More nodding " . . . " I saw her eyes roll and down she went .

( Damnit . I thought that would go over better than it did) I started gnawing on the bars of my cage out of boredom . There really isn't a need to describe the taste of it . It was iron . some of the rust came off in my mouth as I chewed and something dinged in my head . / Aquired iron body component . Iron composite 1/10 for lvl 1 iron body . Reccomend host consume more for defensive enhancement . / I slow down my chewing a bit . ( I can enhance my body by consuming things . . . . that reaper said that too . ) I start gnawing the rest of the bars . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . on I went .

After a bit there was a smaller ding and a feeling of being heavier . /Aquired Iron Body lvl 1 . Evolved physic to iron body salamander . Combining with Flame elemental pathway . Combination complete . 30% increase in defense . Short Swords and arrows will scrape against your hide . Broadswords will penetrate you nicely . . . . . giggle/ ( What strange sadistic system did I get?!?!)

I hear a groan from the floor . Sam stirs till she start to get up slowly . She rubs her head in confusion and sits . She just sits and starts staring at me .
