So here I am, six meters tall, an Adjuchas now, full of power, full of rage — but there's still one thing that gets to me: I can't talk.
I roar.
That's all I can do. Just... roars. My roars echo through Hueco Mundo, shaking the sands and maybe scaring a few of the smaller Hollows. But when it comes to actual communication? I've got nothing. Just noise.
Why can't I talk yet?
I thought becoming an Adjuchas meant I'd be different. More power, more intelligence, maybe even a sharper sense of self-awareness. I mean, look at me! I'm six meters tall with a skull mask and glowing eyes. But all that power, and no ability to talk?
I stared at my reflection in the shattered bone lying in front of me. My skin's green, my body's huge, and I look more intimidating than ever. But when I open my mouth... just a roar. Nothing more.
EP Reward: 12,000
Reason: Roared at your own reflection, hoping for a breakthrough in communication.
I growled to myself, then noticed Aizen — my dumb pet, who's been following me around, sniffing everything in sight. He's just a little smaller than me, with a tail that never stops wagging. He's got no worries, no existential crises. He just… enjoys life.
I approached Aizen, who was busy gnawing on a chunk of bone, and poked him with my foot.
"GUOOOH!"
(Translation: Aizen, how do I speak?!)
Aizen blinked lazily and looked up at me, then yawned. He didn't get it. He didn't even care.
"GUOOOH!"
(Translation: Come on, Aizen! What do I need to do to talk?!)
Aizen sniffed my foot like it was the most interesting thing in the world and rolled on his back, belly up. I growled in frustration. Was I doomed to be just a big, roaring beast forever?
EP Reward: 10,000
Reason: Attempted to have a conversation with Aizen, but he's more interested in rolling around.
I stepped back, my frustration growing. Maybe I could ask someone else for help. Maybe one of the other Adjuchas could explain it to me. But then again, they're just as clueless as I am.
I wandered off into the desert, my thoughts swirling with questions. I roared again, testing my voice.
"GUOOOH!!"
(Translation: Why can't I speak?!)
I waited. But nothing came. No answers. Just silence, like always.
EP Reward: 15,000
Reason: Roared again into the emptiness of Hueco Mundo. No answers.
I sat down on a nearby rock, staring up at the endless sky. The moon was out, casting a cold light over the desolate landscape. Even it had no answers.
Aizen padded up to me, his tongue hanging out, and sat beside me. He gave a lazy glance at me before sniffing the air. I turned to him, almost hoping he would somehow magically know what to do.
"GUOOOH!"
(Translation: Tell me, Aizen, why can't I talk?!)
Aizen tilted his head and stared at me with those giant, stupid eyes, then rolled over onto his back again, clearly ignoring me. He was just happy to be here. Not a care in the world.
EP Reward: 10,000
Reason: Tried to have an intelligent conversation with Aizen, who remains blissfully oblivious.
I sighed. Maybe one day I'd figure it out. Until then, I'd just have to make do with the roaring.
And as for today's idiot moment — well, that would be trying to teach Aizen to roar. He was too busy to care, but I demonstrated how to do it.
"GUOOOH!"
(Translation: This is how you roar, Aizen! Pay attention!)
Aizen yawned and rolled around in the sand, clearly not interested in learning anything.
EP Reward: 12,000
Reason: Attempted to teach Aizen to roar. He ignored you and kept rolling in the sand.
Well, at least I was getting rewards for my stupidity. I guess that's something.
