The snowstorm suddenly fell silent, and the fierce wind got tamed.
Bathed in the ashes of his former self, Kevin stood dazed with a vacant look in his eyes.
The world stands still. The mindless titans cease their movement, with a hint of confusion appearing in their otherwise dull and muddled eyes.
Then, likely having sniffed something in the air, they shifted in their position and looked in the direction of Kevin.
Finding a human standing there, the confusion turns into a fierce hunger.
The next moment, all of them madly rush towards Kevin.
Every titan present there, who looked mindless moments ago, quickly turns into crazy hounds.
The deep desire imprinted in their being, craving for the human flesh, flashes violently.
Kevin stood like a statue, unaware of the world, unaffected by the approaching titans, his vacant eyes tracing something imaginary in the sky, seemingly immersed in a mystical world.
The remaining eight titans present there all madly dashed and thrashed at the place where Kevin stood.
"Bam"
The titans contended and struggled against each other, burying Kevin under the piles of their bodies.
"Rummble"
Suddenly, like God's retribution has arrived, a gleaming radiance flashes from under the titans, hurling them through the air.
In the shower of golden lightning, a heart materialized, its deep pulsation reverberating throughout the void.
Then, followed by the veins, muscles, and bones, soon, a complete eighteen-meter-tall titan arises.
His body, framed with stone-like muscles carved with a fine knife and red veins that seem to be throbbing with magma, coiled around his frame.
On its crown, dark raven hair flowed down to its broad shoulders, his face framed by a cynical smile, flashing with red eyes.
Kevin, now transformed into a titan, relishes in his newfound power.
After devouring the titan having royal blood, a qualitative change occurs inside him.
Not anymore; the constraints of a pure titan bound him.
He is no longer a human trapped inside the titan, but now he is a titan in human flesh.
Just like a Titan shifter, he can transform into a Titan and then revert back to his human form.
Although similar, at the same time there is a vast difference between them.
Despite the fact that the Titan shifters can transform into Titans, they are also bound to many restrictions, such as having to injure themselves or make themselves bleed to transform. After the transformation, the way in which their titan body functions is similar to how, in a science fiction world, a Gundam is driven by a pilot.
Whereas Kevin, due to the ability of the devourer provided by the system, became fundamentally different from other Titan shifters.
He didn't just inherit the power of the Titan as it is; instead, he acquired, molded, and made it an integral part of himself.
He is not bound by the bleeding phenomenon to transform into a Titan, and even when he transforms of his own free will, he does not become a pilot driving the Gundam; instead, he becomes the Gundam himself.
Another distinction between them is that the Titan shifters remain inside the nape of their Titan form; usually that is also their weakness, but Kevin, as a whole transformation into the Titan, can materialize himself in any part of the Titan body, so when he is in a life-threatening situation, he can easily transform himself from any part of the Titan body, which makes escaping or again triggering the transformation much easier.
These are the differences that set Kevin and other Titan Shifters apart, but there is an even bigger disparity between them, and that is the thirteen-year age limit. Every other Titan Shifter can only live at most up to thirteen years, after which they die, but Kevin isn't bound by this rule and will never be; his natural lifespan has already reached thousands, making him essentially different from them.
Such is the distinction between them.
Scorching mist rises from Kevin's body, while his eyes land on the other pure titans, who were standing up from the ground, still looking at him.
Their intense gaze was fixed on him; before, never had they reacted to his presence. When he stood in front of them, they didn't react, and even when he tore them apart and devoured them alive, they never retaliated against him, leaving the impression that they didn't even register him.
But now, a change had been triggered, Kevin's essence had been transformed.
The previous 'fellow' has suddenly turned into a delicacy, which they can't disregard.
Driven by their instinctual desire, the pure Titans rose from the ground and rushed at him like hungry beasts.
Kevin, having fixed his gaze on them, tenses his body, and as the first titan, a twelve-meter-tall Titan, approaches him and lunges at him, Kevin flexes the muscles in his forearm and then, with the punch whistling in the air, lands smoothly on the titan's head.
"burst"
A gooey matter splashed on Kevin's face.
The headless body of the titan drops down to the ground, like a stringless puppet.
And then, in the familiar motion, the punch again whistles, and another "burst" sounds.
Another headless body of a titan drops dead to the ground.
"Thump"
Just then a 'small' six-meter-tall titan approaches him, lunges at his thighs, and tries to bite, which doesn't even penetrate his skin.
Kevin, noticing the titan, clamped his hand around the titan's neck and then effortlessly picked him up from the ground and then, like a pitcher, threw the titan at another fifteen-meter titan approaching him.
Then Kevin flexed his body, sensing the amount of strength in his body, Kevin let loose; like an arrow shot out from the bow, Kevin flew at another titan in the distance.
One got his head crushed, the second got himself torn up from the middle, and another got sliced.
It was a massacre; the titans, a horror to the whole of humanity, didn't amount to anything to Kevin.
The eighteen-meter-tall titan stood in its place, surrounded by the broken and crushed parts of the other pure titan's body.
From the head of the titan, Kevin emerged, looking the same as his Titan body but just smaller in size and with its GENITALS.
Taking a deep breath, Kevin jumps down from the head and lands smoothly on the ground; the eighteen-meter fall, fatal to any human being, seems like a regular jump for him.
Kevin leisurely walks around, enjoying the feeling of being a human again, and then looks in the direction of the wall rose.
"I am ready to go there," Kevin boldly claims.
"Swish~"
Suddenly, a cold gust of wind arrives, and feeling the chill in his nether region, a frown appears on his face.
'Oh, I am missing something.' Realization dawned on him; living as a titan for the past six months almost made him forget the social norms.
Surveying his surroundings, Kevin walks towards a large and intact house and after several minutes comes out wearing proper clothes covering his body.
"Now, I am ready." Kevin claims with a confident and excited smile on his face and then with strong strides started walking to his next destination.

Phew~
Writing this chapter was tiring but satisfactory.
I have put a lot of consideration into this chapter, trying to write the best I can.
Although there is a lack of dialogue and character development, and to tell the truth, the story hasn't really reached anywhere, but, I am working upon it.
Please point out the mistakes and give me advice so I can improve my skills.
