Prologue – I'm an Ogretail, so... what does that mean?

In the near future of Earth, the entire planet would face a mass extinction event even putting the biggest of them in Earth's history, the one at the Permian/Triassic border that wiped out more than 70% of all living creatures that were living at that point to shame. It wasn't a manmade event like one would think first. It was true that the pollution of nature and the influence on the individual biomes had driven many species already to extinction, but this was even bigger.

How did that happen? Well I don't know the exact details, but this is pretty much what happened.

A new kind of organism was discovered when people investigated drill cores to find mineral oil and gas. These microscopic being were named "Oracle Cells" by their discoverers. They held the key to mankind's biggest problem at that point. Due to the depletion of fossil resources such as mineral oil and coal, mankind was facing the fundamental problem of energy shortage.

However only months after the discovery of the Oracle Cells, they revealed a second and much more terrifying aspect of themselves. On the XX X in 2050, everywhere on the planet massive earthquakes shook the lithosphere as massive spires erupted from the ground, destroying everything in their path. One whole day this chaos went on until it stopped and mankind hoped that they could rebuilt their destroyed infrastructure.

They didn't get far when out of the earth the first of a new kind of monster emerged. These beings were in truth nothing more than cell colonies of Oracle Cells, devouring everything in their path and making no difference between their prey whether it was an animal, a plant, a rock or even a human.

Mankind tried to fight back but not even unconventional weapons such as nuclear warheads showed any sort of effect against this threat as they kept constantly evolving and adapting to whatever strategy they were using. Due to their habit to resemble mythological beings and their apparent invincibility plus an insatiable hunger these monsters were therefore called Aragami, meaning as much as Raging Gods.

Mankind survived but just barely as over the years the Aragami became the dominant species on the planet and now roamed the land.

Within a destroyed city somewhere in what used to be Japan, the sound of chewing and flesh tearing apart could be heard. Laying on its side was a large saber tooth tiger like Aragami. This was a Vajra, a strong and large type Aragami that one wouldn't want to meet alone in the dark.

However, the Aragami had recently died and now smaller ones were devouring its corpse. These creatures resembled some sort of hybrid between an ostrich, a shark, a dinosaur and maybe a bit of a hedgehog. They walked on two avian legs with two claws on their feet. Their skin was dark and a tuff of spiky beige hair grew on their back. Their heads resembled the face of a shark as a large mouth with many teeth and two prominent tusk like face jutted out of it. The most prominent feature was the large flat tail which seemed to resemble a demon's face.

They were called Ogretails and they were by far the weakest of all Aragami. They were basically the bottom feeders of this food chain as hunting wasn't really an option with every other Aragami being stronger than themselves. So they had to stick to being carrion eaters. And they usually appeared in packs.

The group of 3 was tearing through the dead Vajra, but was so immersed in their task that they didn't saw a second and very alive Vajra walking up towards them, before it was too late. The large feline Aragami pounced the Ogretails and tore them apart with unmatched strength.

As this carnage took place, a gaping hole in a close by ruin of what probably one have been an apartment block provided shelter for another Ogretail as it was watching silently the one-sided slaughter of its own kin, questioning how it came that its own sort of Aragami wasn't extinct yet as it laid on its belly flat on the ground.

Yup that's me. An ogretail like those that just get eaten by that overgrown cat. Why am I not jumping out to help them when ogretails were supposed to be social Aragami? Very simple. I'M NOT SUICIDAL!

Just look at the size of that thing! It literally stepped on an Ogretail as if it was a snail or a bug or something like that without paying it any mind! I don't want to know what this kitty usually plays with!

Yeah, but no. I'm not going out there.

You may seem confused. How come that I was sentient or was talking to you in the first place right now. Well it all began some time ago. Or rather it began this morning.

I used to be a normal human being or at least I think I was. I don't really recall much of my past to be honest. I don't even know whether I was a boy or a girl or if I was old or young.

Anyways, I remember walking out in the morning and along the street when I saw how some child was chasing after their ball. Normally I couldn't care less about that, but the child ran on the street when suddenly a truck up into view. My body acted faster than my brain as I ran up to the child and pushed it out of the way, before realizing that I was caught in the headlights of the truck.

After that there was just darkness. I didn't hear the crash or the brakes of the truck. I didn't hear anyone shouting or screaming, but it was pretty clear what had happened. Or at least I think that was what happened. I can recall this event, but most of my other memories are gone including my name, how I looked like or my family. These memories were just missing.

So yes, the infamous truck-kun incident. That's what children get for not watching left and right when crossing a road. I get it, alright?! So here I was dead and… well dead.

I can't really describe that as well as I don't remember the period between my two lives all that well. All I can say was that it was dark and other than my own self-awareness I couldn't make anything out.

Well, that was until I suddenly burst out of the ground as an Ogretail. You understand that Aragami are not born like usual animals. Upon dying their bodies disperse into oracle cells, which then can form a new core at any time. When the core is formed other cells are drawn towards it and form the body before the newborn Aragami bursts from the ground as if it was an egg.

Now that I think about it, it sounded like it was straight out of one of those light novels. What was the genre called again? Doesn't matter! Back to what happened afterwards.

This time was probably the hardest in my entire existence so far. I had two legs, but I was constantly leaning forward and balancing my body with an equally long tail, which had a rather heavy bone plate on it. Try to walk straight like that on the first try without falling over at least 20 times!

After finally getting a grip on my new body I managed started to explore the ruins of the city around me. I had no idea where exactly I was as all sorts of signs or text boards were missing or destroyed over the years safe for a few pieces of junk that some Ogretails were actually eating.

Speaking of my relatives, after exploring a little I stuck around a few more fellow Aragami of the same race as me as it seemed safer. Safety in numbers as one might say. I even got to see what the others and by extension myself were capable off such as jumping really high and shooting those spikes on my tail.

Well and then I got to see what Ogretails were eating when we arrived at the carcass of that Vajra. I immediately felt sick when I watched the first one taking a bite out of its dark flesh and ran off into the first ruin to not throw up at this idea. I really had to sit down or rather lay down for this.

It was just felt… disgusting and wrong for me!? The others didn't seem to mind me though as they began happily tearing into that carcass. I swear, those sounds will haunt me in my dreams…

And you already know how this turned out...

Speaking of which, I looked outside to see that the Vajra had finished the other Ogretails as it now turned to leave. The corpses of the Ogretails and the already dead Vajra dispersed into oracle cells. It did look beautiful to watch their bodies glow in golden and amber colors, before the oracle cells floated as mots of light into the air dispersing and the bodies disintegrating.

Farewell, my brothers. I may never forget you, despite having only been around you for an hour or so and not really having made any good memories with you. I would salute to you, but… I do lack arms so you'll understand that.

Okay! Enough of this sentimental stuff. It was time to get started. Thanks to what just happened before my very eyes, I understand now the utter powerlessness of my kind. Also that pit in my stomach only seemed to grow by the minute. I already felt how my stomach was basically rebelling against me. Still chewing on those rocks was probably not the best alternative so I may as well look around for something to eat. Yes! That sounded more like a plan.

Step 1: Get something to eat.

Step 2: Finding out what the hell was going on.

Step 3: Deciding what to do next depending on the result of Step 2.

Alright, let's do this! My course is set so let's set those sails/fins on my head as well.

I was about to move from my spot, to stand up and get outside again, but suddenly a large scorpion like Aragami appeared to be fighting the Vajra as it pushed the feline Aragami into a building right across the wide open space.

Huh? What the hell?

I took a closer look at this new Aragami. Its upper body resembled a knight with a brown furry cape on its back, while its lower half was a scorpion. And it was even taller than the Vajra. Its body ended in a long tail even longer than its actual body with a large lance like stinger at the end.

The Vajra roared in defiance as tried to bite the other Aragami only for its teeth to fail to breach through the thick black armor, before being pushed away. Then several helmet like spikes around the knight's head took off like missiles and hit the Vajra and actually exploded upon impact, as the other Aragami roared in pain.

God, this thing looks so cool! No wait! This isn't the time for this. I better stay in here, before I get caught in this crossfire.

The Vajra pounced the scorpion knight again, but to no avail. Neither its fangs nor its sharp claws did any significant damage. There was damage, but I'd call it nothing more than actually being cut by a sheet of paper.

Then suddenly, the scorpion's chest opened revealing a large mouth with sharp teeth as it bit down and tore off one of the Vajra's capes. The sabertooth tiger roared in pain and jumped backwards before it charged its electrical attack and shot it at the man scorpion. The explosion caused tons of dust to be kicked into the air, but as it settled down one could only see a large skeleton face. The halves on the man scorpion Aragami's arms it had instead of hands had formed a shield and completely blocked the attack.

The Vajra jumped forward with teeth and claws bared to attack while the scorpion knight brought its stinger down. Blood flew through the air as the Vajra screamed in agony. With the area where normally the spine was located that was no real wonder. It managed to bite down one of the legs though as the other Aragami seemed to groan in pain.

Meanwhile I laid on my belly in my comfy ruin hideout paralyzed in fear as I watched the fight go on like a nature documentary movie from TV.

Yup, I'm not coming out.

I'm so definitely not coming out.

JUST IN WHAT KIND OF A MESSED UP WORLD HAVE I REINCARNATED INTO! AND THAT AS A WEAK MONSTER SURROUNDED BY OTHER SUPER STRONG MONSTERS?!

Don Orbit: You have been reading the first chapter of a new short story. I hope you enjoyed it. It really is a shame that there are not many fanfictions of Kumo desu ga, Nani ka? around, but I personally admit it's not that easy to write one with own characters and- Huh? (turns as he hears banging against his repaired door)

(The door is broken down (again) by a familiar Ogretail.)

Ogretail: Wha! Who are you?

Don Orbit: Your creator. I'm surprised you managed to find-

Ogretail: YOU BASTARD!? (tries to bite the author, who jumps off his chair and runs away) GET BACK HERE! (chasing after him)

Don Orbit: Hey! Why are you so upset?

Ogretail: You are the one who made me like this, didn't you? Because of you my life is literally hell!

Don Orbit: (jumps to the ceiling like a spider) Oh come on. Being an Aragami was not that bad.

Ogretail: (jumping up only narrowly missing him) HOW?

Don Orbit: First of all, even as a shark raptor like Aragami, you are still an Aragami and therefore superior to all normal organisms on Earth in terms of strength, durability and more.

Ogretail: But those are almost completely gone! And all the others are stronger than me! (shoots spikes at the author as he barely manages to dodge them by moving his limbs out of the way)

Don Orbit: Second of all, you could eat all you want quite literally.

Ogretail: (stops the attempts of murdering its their maker and tilts their head) Huh?

Don Orbit: (continues) That means when everything you get between your teeth, can be instatnly devoured and converted into energy without having to worry about your health. No matter what it is. You can eat all sorts of animals, plants, People and all sorts of tasty dishes without ever getting Trouble with your body.

Ogretail: (starts salviating at this as it streams out of their mouth like a waterfall while daydreaming) Oh yes...

Don Orbit: (smiling innocently as he drops down) However, now that the world is such a desolated place you won't be able to find any of that anymore.

Ogretail: (torn from the day Dream) ...huh?

Don Orbit: (still smiling) I think the only things left to eat for Aragami, that doesn't include other Aragami or humans, are rocks...

Ogretail: Huh?

Don Orbit: (continuing) Debris, sand, soil...

Ogretail: Huh?!

Don Orbit: And human waste products such as garbage, radioactive wastes and wastewaters among other Things.

Ogretail: (turning slightly green) Urgh! I think I'm gonna throw up!

Don Orbit: See? You still have plenty to

Ogretail: DIE YOU SON OF A- (lungs forward)

Don Orbit: (grabs a Boost Hammer God Arc out of nowhere and delivers a blow to the face, smashing the reincarnated Ogretail into the floor as one can see stars swirld around their head as they are rendered unconscious) Well with that all being said and done, please leave your thoughts and ideas in the reviews or send me a PM. I'll hopefully see you next time.

Until then have a nice day.
