It Started with Slime - Part 1

Chapter 30 - A Human (Female)

Resh ended up spending four days. Four days of nothing but river bed and tiny fish, as Resh grew it spread itself out more. Covering more and more of the river bed, until the whole river under the bridge was covered in Resh's body. At one point Resh thought it had a chance at a River Crab again but then it scuttled away and left Resh to its own devices. With Resh not moving at all during the process and just getting bulkier, it also became harder to move as well, and give chase.

Ignoring all distractions Resh emerged from 4 days of gluttony its body now covered the entire area that was shadowed by the bridge in a very thin film of Slime.

You have Consumed 2,657.76g of River Bed including Pebbles, Soil and Various Creatures! Your Weight has increased to 3,743.76g; your Volume has increased to 1,627.72cm3!

Resh was HUGE!! The biggest it had ever been and yet it was still small compared to the Human!! Even the Human (Female) was so huge compared to what Resh was now. How was that possible? If this speed of increase was any indication then Resh would need to continue Consuming for over 60 days to get to that size! Resh hadn't even been alive that long yet!
