Hulk was a pro football player, a guy who loved nothing more than clutching a pigskin and barreling through the defense like a runaway freight train. He lived for the gridiron.

But he never, in his wildest dreams, imagined he'd see a pair of nipples bigger than a football. 

He became a giant baby, reborn with a new name: Orion.

Orion was the runt of the giant litter, the weakest of the bunch.

But when he turned ten, something crazy happened. He saw a strange panel – that not only displayed his stats but also helped him level up. 

With the panel's help, and a whole lot of elbow grease, Orion led his giant tribe to become the most powerful in the Barren Mountains. 

He went from zero to hero, becoming a mighty Titan King. He was no longer the runt; he was the top dog.

Cloudsong set his goblet down and slid a platter of golden, fried strips toward his companion. "Go on. Try one."


The stranger didn't hesitate. He picked up one of the strips and bit down. A satisfying crunch echoed in the quiet corner of the booth.


"Crispy. A blend of three spices... savory, with a hint of heat. What is this?"


It was excellent—the perfect bar snack to wash down a heavy ale.


Cloudsong grinned, watching the man's reaction. "Specifically, a carapace-covered grub. If you peel back the batter, you'll see the shell."


To demonstrate, Cloudsong popped one into his own mouth, crunching loudly.


The stranger paused. He didn't speak. He picked up another strip, inspecting it for a split second before eating it whole. He didn't peel it. However, his chewing slowed significantly, his eyes losing focus as his mind worked through the implications.
