'Where am I?' As Aeshma looks around he remembers the fabricated past of this body to fit in the world 'An orphan who inherited both his parents house and money after they died when he was young, who has until recently lived with his grandfather who also recently passed leaving the 18 year old to live on his own? I can work with this background for now but I need to establish myself sooner rather then later to not get swallowed by New Yorks underbelly. Anyway for now, system.'

'I should step outside for this.' After entering his garden Aeshma opens the system again and navigates back to the instances 'Initiate Great Jagras hunt'
Immediately after he says that he finds himself in a different yet familiar area, the once well kept garden now overgrown and unkempt, his house in queens covered in different foliage and slightly crumbling.
'Open inventory' As Aeshma says that before him unfolds a panel filled with empty and some full boxes, a selection of starting weapons and a syringe labled 'Odium' with a note attached.
Aeshma seeing that it seems important being placed in the first slot in his inventory takes out the syringe, the attached note reading: This is you symbiote, Odium. Feed it the starting weapons and armor, its adaptation ensures that it can immediately copy their forms. -Your patron deity, O.G. P.S. Just inject the syringe anywhere to initiate the bond.
After reading the note Aeshma just sighs before saying "Here goes nothing." And jamming the syringe into his left bicep, before injecting the symbiote.

'Odium are you there?' Aeshma asks wanting to establish basic commands for different situations and to consume his weapons and armors for replication.
Aeshma is stunned for a second when a slightly cold but endearing female voice answers 'How can I be of service for now Lord Aeshma?'
He summons the weapons and armor on the ground Infront of him 'Please consume these and be turn into the chainmail armor for now. We are on a hunt so please keep your senses peeled for anything suspicious. Can you read my memories by chance? That would safe me a lot of explaining.'
A tendril extents from Aeshmas shoulder to the first piece of armor before pulling it in and covering it in symbiote, the process getting faster and faster with more added mass from the consumed gear 'Yes, I can see memories you wish to show me but I cannot pry into your knowledge on my own Lord Aeshma.'
Aeshma nods at that before willing for Odium to see the memories of his encounter with O.G. and the memories relevant to his current world and abilities 'We need to get stronger fast, what do you recommend as a weapon for me right now? Do please replicate Venoms Spider-Webs for easier movement too.'
'Going from your build, size and experience I'd recommend the Hammer till you familiarize yourself with a weapon of your liking, while being skilled with it makes it way better, you can always just use brute force for smaller monsters for now, though I recommend training with one weapon and your elemental control before taking on the Great Jagras for now.'
'Ok now for some clothing commands: for now I'll just switch between armor and normal by thinking armor or casual respectively but I plan on adding a costume for covert activities later, not to mention the full symbiote form we'll unlock once you've got more mass.' Feeling the approvel through their connection and the readiness of the copied web slingers he aims for the roof of his house and tries to shoot a web at it as a test. 'Webs working as intended, lets go look for a less open area to train in.'
