BOOM!
Sound of intense Ki Blasts around the area.
Suddenly a large figure is sent flying, smashing through a series of tree within the Mystic Forest. A human figure flew out after the large beast he sent flying, checking to see if his foe was still alive. The human, Yao Bai, had to fight a strong beast while making sure that his goal was still left where he found it. As a sneaking third party could undermine all of his effort and hope. An unknown flower with a strong aura of life energy permeating around its surrounding, which had that large beast like bat guarding it. The large bat had mutated due to its aura and used it as bait to lure unsuspecting prey to it. Cause it to continuously grow past its beast blood line limit.
“Little Zi, Grampa will bring this back to cure you. It will!”, Huffing out loudly, Yao Bai ignored the beast corpse after confirming its death. As the precious life flower was more important to secure and bring back to save his granddaughter Yao Zi.
After digging out the flower with the dirt around it, growls started to appear one after another.
“Since the King has died, others are hoping to rise to its seat hu?” Cursing his luck and the surrounding beasts’ intelligence. “I don’t have times for these annoyances.” Yao Bai growled out these words.
His robe already torn from multiple locations, with blood already dripping from his face.
“I WILL RETURN BACK TO THE CLAN!” Roaring out, Yao Bai rushes through the encirclement of beast horde.

2 days later
“Grand Elder Bai has returned Matriarch” A Yao Guard reported.
“Father has returned? Did he finally find a clue to cure Little Zi illness?” Matriarch Yao Li rose up from her study room, leaving for the Yao clan entrance in a hurry.
The Yao Matriarch reached the main courtyard just to see a bloodied figure walking in a limp. She exclaimed in surprise when she can hardly recognize her own father. Yao Bai’s right arm was gone slightly passed up where his elbow would be with teeth marks, a talon broken off from a avian beast still hanging on his left shoulder, a gash slashing down from his forehead down his right eye, and a large stinger almost wiggling out with every limp steps he takes.
“Take this flower to Little Zi, you must!” Grave focus filled Yao Bai’s eye as he takes out a white lily flower.
“Yes father.” Bewildered by the ordinary white flower but taking her father’s serious tone to heart, she took the flower and gave out a command “CALL FOR ALL THE CLAN DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY”
Seeing his daughter taking the once overflowing life flower, he closed his eyes in bitterness. His body giving out after completing his task, his body fell backward. His body was caught by two wrinkle hands, turning his near lifeless eyes, he saw his partner, his friend, his lifelong Dao companion.
“Old Man don’t give up now. Little Zi and the Yao clan still need us. And I also.” An old lady that use to be a breathtaking beauty, now covered with creases on her head.
Is MC gonna look like the cover? Cause that doesn't feel very Symbiotey...
The MC will be able to retain his neutral form as shown in the cover.
@LazyPanda His? I thought MC was female~!
That aside, what do you mean by neutral form? I'm not THAT knowledgeable about symbiotes...
edit @ARFitS the MC Yao Zi is a female.
The symbiote is a "he" (Gender term because it's easier in my head) doesn't have any flesh or bone other than a pile of slimy goo.
Symbiote - from Spiderman universe - look something like a sludge that can enter a host. Then they can appear as appendage from their host with demonic looking face or superimpose over their host face to have a visual face to face talk (though they can still talk telepathically with their host without materializing outside). Later they are also able to maintain a humanoid form away from the main host for a while for separate tasks.
@LazyPanda Yes, that's about all I know about them. I thought maybe there was something more to them.
For example: Riot, from the movie. I didn't know they could actually form weapons out of their bodies~
I also didn't know they need specific hosts, else the rejection will kill both the host and the symbiote.
@ARFitS yea, IDK how the symbiote survive long enough because of those strict requirements. Though they do give a huge boost in power to their host.
Also Venom is said to require adrenaline to actually survive which he found that by one of his main host who has a tumor in his head that produces a lot of it.
@LazyPanda Seriously?!
No wonder Eddie's so gutsy with his job...
Wait, is that the case here too?
This symbiote needs to feed on some kind of viral substance and MC's illness provides a shitton of that?
@ARFitS from what Wiki Spiderman says, "Yes" as in a ton of crap that looks endless apparently from how big of an appetite Venom has.
