Cliche. Another monster progression story. That was probably what you thought when you read the title of my story. And, I can't lie, for the most part, it probably is. But, what else am I supposed to do when I've been thrusted into a world that could kill me in an instant? There's nothing to do but to progress, to devour and evolve. You would do the same too. Such is the basis of a monster. Such is the right of any living being. So that's what I did. I ate, I killed and I hoarded anything I could get my big limbs on. Friendship, allies and love? There used to be a little god calling himself "Heaven's Equal" who spouted of such things, before I ate him. The world went pretty quiet after that. Follow my story. Read for yourself how I evolved from a little monster in a lake I thought was the ocean, all the way into the Titan Of Destruction. What To Expect: - A relatively quick progression story - Ruthless, I mean - Fang Yuag levels - of ruthless protagonist. - A system? that grows stronger along with the protagonist - Big Monsters Duking It Out, with minimal humans/beastmen/elves, etc. . .focus. Basically, monsterverse without annoying ass humans ruining the show. - Did I mention that the protagonist was pretty evil?
But something gnawed at him. Where was the system notification? Why hadn't he felt that familiar rush of power?
Arthur froze. The Serpent's body was too still. Too quiet. Slowly, realization dawned. He turned, eyes narrowing just in time to see the Serpent's jaws snap shut, crushing the salt crystal inside.
"Currrseee Youuuuusssss!" it hissed, voice ragged but alive. Before Arthur could move, the Serpent lunged, its massive maw catching his arm. There was a sickening crunch.
Arthur roared in pain as the creature tore through his thick hide, ripping his arm clean from his body. Blood poured into the water, thick and black, clouding his vision. The Serpent thrashed again, and Arthur's mind blanked with agony.
But something stirred within him. Rage.
