2 Reincarnation as Molag Bal/Deathclaw.

*Flinch*

'Huh?'

I felt my body twitch, I was tired. I wanted to fall back asleep. But a strange feeling crept over me. Groggily, I opened my eyes, Blackness. It was dark. Too dark. To the point, I couldn't see anything. 

Trying to make sense of my current situation, I put a bit of strength into my body, trying to stand up, only to find that I was trapped in some small space.

'This is strange, this isn't the bed I climbed into last night.' 

Following the thought, a sudden burst of anxiety appeared in my mind. Where was I? Is this some kind of prank? Or have I been kidnapped? Those were the kinds of scenarios drifting through my head. Quickly I was becoming more and more aware. The drowsy feeling from earlier hurriedly faded. 

Before my heart rate could grow any further a black screen filled with green letters appeared in my vision, causing me to slightly recoil.

Recovering after a short time, I closed my eyes for a moment. 'Breath slowly' I told myself. Unless you had anxiety, It wasn't so easy to panic. Trying to get my mind in order I noticed something peculiar. My thoughts seemed to be a bit slow. Was I drugged? It was an interesting feeling. I felt both awake and asleep at the same time. Like, I was empty. I could still think, but my mind felt so refreshed.

Glancing back toward the black screen in front of me, the following notification appeared in my vision.

The moment my eyes landed on Lv1, I froze, Staring blankly at the screen for several long moments. 

'Is this? Could the numerous stories I've read about before be happening to me right now?'

 Not paying much attention, I briefly scanned the rest. The worry building in my heart up until now was overshadowed by another more powerful feeling. Wonderful Dopamine. It was almost like liquid adrenaline was injected straight into my body, I felt myself start to shiver. It was the feeling of excitement, It was palpitating,

"Thwap, thwap, thwap, thwap, thwap, thwap, thwap, thwap, thwap, thwap. CRACK"

Unbeknownst to me, due to my excitement, my long back appendage began swishing back and forth hitting the wall of my prison.

Hearing the loud crack I paused. The tip of my tail stung…. 

'Tail? ….That will take some getting used to. Then, I guess I'm not a human anymore. What did it say I was again?'

I was so surprised that I barely paid attention to the other written information. I tried looking at the screen again, but it had disappeared. There must be some kind of keyword that needs to be used to access the status. 'Status' I thought, but nothing happened. I tried rotating around but something was stopping me. My tail was stuck. Or rather, I was stuck, and my tail was the only thing that I could move.

 It seems I was in some sort of egg, and my tail must have broken out when I wasn't paying attention. I think it said something about me being unhatched. Does that mean I'm some kind of reptile? Or perhaps I'm some kind of bird? I could be a fish or an insect for all I know…. Well let's just hope it isn't the last two, that would suck. Could I be a dragon? It could also be something I've never seen before. 

'Wait, what am I thinking? Now isn't the time for this.'

Shaking my head of the unnecessary thoughts, I tried to steer my cloudy mind back in the right direction. I was still stuck after all. 

The angle I was in was a bit strange. I was crouched in the fetal position. I turned towards my tail which was poking slightly outside of my egg.

'You dare take the lead in front of I, Your Grandfather?' (Cringes) 

'Damn, those Chinese authors have such a strange way of insulting people. I'm never doing that again. Let's just focus on getting out of here for now. So? How do I escape this place? It's just an egg, right? Sooo, I just need to crack it open bit by bit then? After that, I can just crawl out. Ok, that sounds simple enough, now let's put those words into action.

I slid my hands to the front of my torso before firmly placing them on the wall in front of me. 

'One, two.'

I exerted as much force as I could. Which I assumed probably wouldn't have amounted to too much. At least that's what I had foolishly assumed. 

"CRACK-CRACK'

Either I was far stronger than I believed, or the egg I found myself in was much softer than anticipated. Because the moment I put any force against the wall it easily cracked open and dim light filled my eyes.

'It's burrrrrns!'

The burning was not caused by the light shining in my eyes, No, it was the air that flooded into my egg. It burned my skin. 

Once the oxygen made contact with my sensitive skin, an almost indescribable pain took over my body. It didn't feel like I was on fire. No, if I had to describe my current pain I would compare it to pouring alcohol on an open wound.

The only difference between this was that my entire body was feeling it. 

'It hurts!'

'This pain. It feels like my whole body is being stung over and over again. But I can't stay inside, there's already a big hole in the shell, so staying inside won't help me any longer.'

Knowing that there was no going back, I gathered up my willpower and stepped out of the shell exposing all of my dark gray scaleless skin to the outside world. I had two tiny black horns protruding from my head along with sharp teeth and clawed hands. My feet were different, Adorned with large black claws similar to a dinosaur but slightly similar to hands. They could be used to grab hold of things. They also looked like they could be used to claw and crush things... Lastly, there was the long tail extending far back, the easiest and most simple way to describe it would be a long barbed spine with jagged edges. It was certainly not something anyone would want to be grabbed by. Before I could continue examining myself. The pain I felt before seemed to grow to another level. I fell. 

Withering on the ground in pain, I began rolling back and forth, desperately trying to make the terrible pain more bearable. Eventually, though, I seemed to run out of stamina and a tired feeling overcame me.

'What the hell! If I have dinosaur feet doesn't that mean I'm supposed to have scales or something!? Why do I only have gray skin!?

"STOMP!"

As I was about to lose consciousness and pass out, an enormous dinosaur foot came crashing down in front of me. As it came down I could feel the earth under me shake… It must have trembled due to the massive weight. I soon followed.

'What is?'

I forced my head up. The drowsy feeling was getting stronger and stronger, but I refused to allow my body to pass out. I had to at least see what monster was about to end my new life. So cracking my head up as far as I could, I stared at my soon-to-be killer in the eyes.

'D-DeathClaw Impossible!?' Why am I looking at a Deathclaw right now!? I'm in Fallout!? Damn it! I should have taken the time to read those notifications more carefully.'

The worry that took a backseat earlier came rushing back at me full force. The feeling of my stomach dropping was so strong it almost made me nauseous. 

In front of me stood a giant hulking mass of white. It was an Albino DeathClaw..... Though, it looked a bit different than a normal Deathclaw... It was difficult to mistake that face. A Deathclaw is still a Deathclaw

"Sniff, Sniff"

The beast bent over to examine me. Its red eyes studied my small form. It then took a few sniffs, no doubt trying to smell its next meal. Suddenly it opened its mouth revealing its large, sharp, and very dangerous teeth.

'Oh, God!? Why did I have to look!? Why did I have to look!? Such a painful death is not something I want to experience! Try and make it quick!'

I squeezed my eyes shut waiting for the inevitably painful death that was undoubtedly coming to me. Any second now and I'm going to be turned into mincemeat between this demon's maul. In my mind, I can already hear the sound of my bones snapping and crunching as it dines on my tasty flesh.

Then A lick.

'Oh god nooo! It wants to taste me before it eats me. Like a popsicle! You fiend! YOU FIIIIIIIEND!'

"Lick, Lick, Lick, Lick, Lick"

The licking continued making its way over my body, My head, Shoulders, Feet, Legs, My….. My…... I don't wanna talk about it.

'Come on you bastard Do you have no shame!? Just get it over and done with! You're acting like a mother cat licking her kittens clean! If you're going to eat me then just do it! You don't have to humiliate me like thi-'

I paused… An abrupt thought struck my mind… Opening my eyes, I stared straight at the Albino Deathclaw…. Recognition flashed through my gaze. It was lovingly licking me.

'...….Mother?'

After the thought flashed through my head, my long-wasted stamina finally caught up to me and I promptly passed out.
