"Damn..." I said turning off my television. I looked down at my playstation 3 Optimus. My body shuttered and my heart dropped at looking at it. Recently there has been a report going around not only america but the world that these Playstation 3's are devouring their gamers. It started out as a rumor and it pretty much still is...nothing has been proven. It only says that the playstation is covered in the gamer's blood.

It's a very chilling thing to hear especially if you have a PS3 already. Oh anyway you guys don't know my name yet, my name is Kelvis I'm the hero, villian and mysterious guy all at the same time in this story. Don't get my meaning? Neither do I so don't worry about it we're on the SAME page. Anyway again I'm 18 years old and a college freshman attending a near by university. I'm not really a geek or a smartass I just do enough to get me by.

Right now I was in my room on my laptop going to different Forums about this PS3 eating thing. It was really bothering the hell out of me and because I had a PS3 it made me feel even worse. It was messing me up so much inside that I wanted to take the damn thing back.

I went on an RPG CHATLINE and decided to ask afew questions.

Dreadlocksamurai(Me): Hey have you heard about the PS3 eating thing?

Crazydude99: Yeah I have, it's spread all over the web in like three days.

Dreadlocksamurai(Me):What do you know about it?

Galebread: Rumor has it that the PS3 kills whoever has emotional attachments to it.

Dreadlocksamurai(Me): Emotional attachments?

Galebread: Yeah like naming it and constantly referring to it as a being instead of a machine. I heard it slowly starts to gain a personality and kills you.

Dreadlocksamurai(Me): Uh...ok thanks Gale

Galebread: Anytime...when are you gonna update your friggin World Dom?!

I closed the RPG CHATLINE and my laptop, my eyes were wide and my heart was pounding as I stared at my PS3. I was even more nervous, I named my PS3 Optimus and I always refer to it as a he instead of an it. I would always pet it whenever it read a scratched disk like a puppy or something.

I suddenly felt that I couldn't stand to be in the same room as Optimus...er...the Playstation anymore so I stood up and grabbed my door handle. The second I placed my hand on the metal...a low but sturdy THUMP sounded in my room as if something heavy had hit the carpet. My heart sank and my bladder was on the verge of letting itself go...

I swung my door open and slammed it shut then ran to the bathroom took a piss and came back out. After relieving myself I stepped out into the hallway, the dark hallway was by no means helpful to the situation at hand. I heard that low THUMP sound again and I could feel my legs trembling. "Meh..." My mouth made a sound as I slowly crept up to the door and put my ear to it slowly.

ROAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!

O.o-Me

The sound of a scream like growl loud enough to rock the floor filled my ears. I was taken back and my eyes were wide. "Oh shit!" I jumped and took off running towards the front door until I felt a pair of sharp blade like jaws snap on my right shoulder. I felt cords wrap around my legs and I fell forward on the ground. RRAAAA RAAA!!

"AHHHHHH!!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! GODDD!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed in agony as I felt teeth dig into me, the floor around me got moist with my blood. I was turned over and jumping on me was a small creature with a big grin like jagged mouth. I bit on my chest and ripped it open and I screamed out of pain trying to escape the cords. "AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I felt blood spill on my face as a white light appeared infront of me light grew brighter and brighter as the creature ripped open my throat. "NOOOO!!! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The sound of rushing water filled my ears..."Mm..." I moaned alittle. My body felt tight and my lungs could barely catch air. I leaned upward without much effort placing a hand on my stomach. I felt like I was gonna throw up...wait...what? I...I'm still alive?! I looked around to see that I was in the middle of an oddly familiar ruin.

I stood to my feet and looked around...yes...this place...this place looks...really familiar.

Without thinking I looked at my right palm, I was looking down at a huge pitchblack arm with oversized black spikey fingernails. "Huh?" I looked at my left hand it was covered in nothing but black belts with silver and gold belt buckles. My arms were like gorilla arms they were really long and they hung at my knees. I looked down at my cloths, my body was wrapped in bandages like a mummy the only piece of clothing I had was a pair of baggy black pants that were rolled up above my ankles. My feet were big and had long untied chuck tylor sneakers that were rolled like a evil jester's shoes at it's tips.

"What the fuck?" I said with that I was taken back by my voice as well. My voice was deep and it sounded like a monster's voice... I took afew steps over to a puddle of water and looked down. My face was covered in bandages, I had long black teeth sticking out of the top of my jaw, my eyes were a golden topaz and my dreadlocks were messy and sticking up alittle. "AHH!! Wha...what is tha...is that me?!" I yelled taking afew steps back. "AHHH!!" I screamed placing my right palm on my head. "I...I'm ugly!! What happened to me?!"

"Hmph...compared to the others that I've seen your actually not half bad looking." A voice said. With that my eyes widened and I looked up to see a woman with long wolf like ears, red eyes and blue skin with a long furry tail.

"W-who are you..." I said taking afew steps back. For some reason I wasn't afraid of this woman, something strong inside of me told me that I should never be afraid of anything. This surprised me but I was still cautious.

" Congradulations...you've become a Maneater...I welcome you brother." She said disappearing. She appeared on the ground infront of me on all fours bowing. "Welcome..." she greeted.

" Maneater?" I said raising bandage.

" Yes...a monster who feasts on the flesh of man." She explained looking up at me. I merely stared at her as if she was stupid...

" Me?" I said pointing at myself with my huge finger.

" Yes." She replied standing up.

"Wha...Eat humans? That's sooo nasty..." I said waving my hands around like an anime character.

" You'll have to do it to stay alive." She explained rubbing behind her head and sticking her tongue out playfully at me.

"What?" I said stopping.

" Maneaters devour the flesh of man to stay alive, if you go three days without feeding you will surely die." She said looking serious for a moment.

" A-are you serious?" I asked.

" Yes...it's how us Maneater's live. We eat humans." She said. I have no choice but to eat humans if I wanna stay alive. This all happened so fast...one moment I'm sitting in my apartment the next I'm being eaten by my playstation and now this...

"How...how did this happen?" I asked slamming my large body down on the ground making somewhat of a thud.

" You were chosen by a Demi," She replied walking up to me and looking down at me. I looked up at her baring my teeth by accident.

"And what's a Demi?" I asked.

" It's like a Lava form of a Maneater, a baby like parasite. It was growing inside of your PS3, the more love and care that you gave it the bigger it got. It grew and grew until it ready to merge with you. Which it did successfully." The woman replied.

" Merge with me? That thing killed me!!!" I yelled slamming down my right palm causing a small crater which I disregarded.

" No it only removed your vital organs so it could get inside of you. Once inside of your chest it changes your phsyical form and gives you supernatural powers." The woman explained grasping a fist.

"Powers? I've got powers?" I asked looking down at my right hand. My left was longer than my right and wrapped in nothing but black belts by the way it was shaped I'd say I had some sort of gun for a left hand.

"Yes...super power that's on a different scale." She said taking my chin to look up at her. " Your world has changed...you are a Maneater now."

" But...what if I don't like eating humans?" I asked.

" You will, trust me...what is your favorite food?" She asked turning away from me and walking alittle into the distance then stopping to listen.

" My mom's homemade Lasagna" I replied.

"Well there you have it, whenever you eat a human it will taste exactly like your mom's lasagna." She said. My eyes turned into giant anime hearts.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" I replied with my mouth watering.
