Volume One

When exploring a cave to collect resources, Gizzy, a newcomer to Altered, has an encounter with a pack of werewolves. Unfortunately, he gets bitten by one of them and becomes cursed, although not knowing it. ("The Wolf Pack")

Gizzy escapes the underground, but before making it to the surface, a man appears in front of him. He starts speaking a strange language and later vanishes. Gizzy goes to speak with The Voice about what happened, tow which he concludes that he must've been cursed. Knowing the Curse of The Bite, Voice tells him the only way to cure it is to summon a fairy familiar before midnight, or else, he will become a werewolf. He attempts to craft a FamGuide to summon the fairy, but dies and transforms. At dawn, Gizzy reverts back into a human. ("Curse of the Bite")

After being notified his items were all taken by Betsy, Gizzy plans to meet him at the Green Lageen, He finds at night, which by then he transforms into a werewolf. Scared of him, Betsy reveals that he placed his stuff within his hidden layout. When he returns, Gizzy is shocked to find the Green Lageen was blown up. He retreats into a small wooden shed for the night. ("The Green Lageen")

At dawn, with his items back, Gizzy crafts the FamGuide. He summons the fairy familiar, Benji, curing his curse. No longer of use, Gizzy decides to de-summon, but Benji pleads not to be. In exchange for his freedom, Benji tells Gizzy that he must see a man who knows more about the side-effects of the Curse of the Bite. He agrees and finds the man inside a floating dirt sphere in the sky. The man, who's name is Dr. Jekyll, shows Gizzy how to morph. He warns him that another side-effect of the curse is the creation of a split personality. Before leaving, Jekyll transforms into his split personality, Mr. Hyde, but Gizzy manages to escape thanks to Benji's gliding ability. ("Jekyll And Hyde")

Knowing how to control the morphing ability, Gizzy uses it in multiple occasions. ("Cruise", "Lucky Block Cavern")

Gizzy goes back to see Jekyll for more knowledge on split personalities. Once he reaches the Dirt Sphere, Jekyll tells him that split personalities is usually triggered by something. Gizzy concludes his trigger must be dead. Gizzy leaves the sphere immediately before Letvia, wife of Jekyll, and Vantor, son of Jekyll, arrive to speak with him. She says that she needs him to take care of Vantor and Gail if anything were to happen to her. He tells her to leave and then transforms into Mr. Hyde. Vantor tells him to fight it, but Letvia kills him to protect herself and her son. ("Take Back Your Life")

While getting back home, Gizzy gets stalked by a group of robots. One of them manages to hurt Benji, triggering Gizzy's split personality. He wakes on the side of a shore. With his recent transformation, Gizzy finds out his trigger isn't death, but it's his friends getting hurt. ("Five Nights At Freddy's")

With the help of Witch, Gizzy is teleported back home. While looking into the front door, he sees an odd block inside. He decides to sue the back entrance only to find the entire house was filled with TNT. He goes upstairs and meets up with Yoshi. Yoshi tells Gizzy because of his signature agreement with Inferno, he must kill him, or else he dies. Refusing to kill Gizzy, Yoshi dies, triggering the split personality. While transformed, Gizzy buries Yoshi's body outside and places a tombstone on it. ("Waiting For Superman")

Later, Gizzy falls in Sinking Sand. He thinks of morphing, but realizes that he would drop the prophecy items. Instead, Benji decides to hurt himself. Knowing he can't inflict the pain by himself, Benji tries to find another way. Benji succeeds and Gizzy transforms, escaping the sand. After reverting back, Gizzy finds out Benji was poisoned. In order to heal him, Gizzy de-summons him. ("Passage Of The Earth")
