Reborn As a Snake In Another World

Darkness.

That was what greeted me as I opened my eyes. The second thing was the feeling of being trapped. What happened? Where am I? Why is it so dark? Is it nighttime?

All I remember is falling asleep during lunchtime. Did school already dismiss and they left me here? I know I'm not the most well liked person in class but not cool you guys!

Anyways none of my questions will be answered if I don't get out of this tight space. Moving my body forwards I stumbled upon something like a wall and began to slam my body on it, soon it collapsed and I was exposed to the outside.

What the hell.... In front of me was a entire army of new born snakes, the thing that surprised me however was not the amount of snakes it was the fact that, THEY WERE ALL THE SAME SIZE AS ME!!?

Each of them seem to be coming out of an egg, they were all about six to seven inches long and were colored from gray to dark grey to brown with a white belly and mottled tail.

Feeling dread welling up in my body I slowly looked at my own body.

No hands, check.

No feet, check.

Gray scales, check.

Yup no doubt about it now, I seem to have become a snake. Am I somehow dreaming all of this? I seriously doubt that because everything feels so real. Maybe I-

My thoughts were cut off by the appearance of what seems to be a....anteater?

Jesus Christ that thing is huge. Well this confirm it. Between my ridiculously large, recently hatched brothers and sisters around me and the giant Anteater in front of us I can safely say that I am no longer on earth. Which means I somehow died and reincarnated as a snake.

...

Oi.

Oi. Oi. Oi.

What the hell is this!? A snake really? I know I always wanted to reincarnate but I expected to at least be humanoid! Is this some sort of punishment? Was I a unfilial son? Was I unfaithful to my friends and girlfriend!?

None of those can't be right, in the first place I'm adopted! And secondly I have to actually have friends and a girlfriend to be unfaithful!

Sigh.

Guess there's nothing to be done, just have to accept my situation. Anyway the giant Anteater was just wondering around, I wonder what it's looki-

*Slurp*

Oh my!

A scary scene was playing out in front of me, the Anteater was slurping up my brethren like noodles!

Nope no no no no. I may have been reborn as a snake but that doesn't mean I'm ready to die yet!

While the Anteater was busy slurping my brethren I slithered slowly around it towards the hole where it crawled through.

Phew. That was close but I somehow manages to escape. I had thought that running away with no legs would be difficult however slithering feels so natural to me.

I am now in a wide open cave that has a multitude of unknown flora, the walls are covered in silver veins that seemed to break off and reform at random intervals. Even though I see all of this it's only a blurry image, I had thought it was because of the dark that my vision was impaired however it's just that my vision is bad.

Oh wait, I read somewhere that snakes use their tongues to help navigate, lets try it.

*Hisssss*

Ohgoditstoomuchatonce.

I immediately stop because I was too overwhelmed by the different chemicals in the air.

I sensed excretions, pollen, blood, something musty and something stale. Ugh I should be careful not to get overwhelmed with that. It would seem that I am underground, the first thing I want to do is secure something of a home base-.

*Grwolgugu*

Huh!? Was that my stomach? Can snakes even do that?

No matter it seems My body is in need to sustenance and as a certain gender bent king would say; HUNGER IS OUR ENEMY!

My eyes were naturally drawn to a tree growing inconspicuously in a corner, hanging from a branch was a red apple like fruit that seemed ripe.

That looks delicious and it looks like an apple too, however the tree is not like any apple tree I know so the fruit may be poisonous.

*Grwolgugu*

....Screw it. Slithering up the tree I somehow made my way towards the fruit and managed to pick it soon I was back on the ground.

*Munch*

Oh my God! This is delicious! It's like I'm eating honey!

*Munch* *Munch* *Munch*

Within seconds the fruit was gone however I was still hungry. Suddenly a mysterious voice spoke out of nowhere.

[Due to the unique skill [Self-Modification] you have acquired 1 bio point]

Huh?! What!? Who said that!? What skill?! And the heck's a bio point!?

My head was searching for the origin of that voice however there was no one around.

Huh...am I halluci- Ackugh.

A throbbing pain spread throughout my body and I could feel myself growing weaker.

W-what the hell is happening....? Ithurtsithurtsithurts.

[The conditions have been met. You have acquired the skill [Poison Resistance LV1]]

H-huh? T-that voice again. What's going on..?

Soon the pounding pain became a dull throb and I could move my body again.

What was that pain? I slowly regained my bearings and curled up under the small tree.

That mysterious voice said something about skills. If my gut feeling is correct then.....

The hell do you mean I'm nameless!? I'm pretty sure I had a name when I reincarnated!? it's Ryunosuke Nakamura alright!

Something straight out of a video game popped into my vision. This status screen confirms that I am in a fantasy world with magic and most likely fantasy races. Normally I would be excited of the prospects of meeting fantasy races however based on what I've seen I seem to be in some sort of dungeon or labyrinth, now based on my knowledge of video games and such I am positive that I am a monster and most likely there are adventures who's jobs are to get rid of me. But it's probably not that bad...right?

And why the hell don't I have any magic?

I don't know if my stats are strong or weak. My biggest problem right now is a lack of information about the type of monsters in the area and the exit of this dungeon. I think I know what the stats do but I still need to be sure.

[Strength: Affecting physical abilities that deal with muscle]

[Agility: Affecting speed and reaction time]

[Vitality: Affecting the ability to regenerate and stamina.]

[Willpower: Affecting the ability to manipulate mana, control summons, understand magic and resist mental attacks.]

[Magic: How much mana is in your body]

Yup they worked exactly as I thought. Health is pretty self explanatory.

Anyways I need to find out what these skills do, focusing on them a description of each popped up.

[Constrict LV 1: The most common skill of all serpents. Wrap yourself around the body of your adversary and squeeze.]

[Bite LV 1: Improves the ability to accurately apply a bite with teeth

[Chemical Sense LV 1: Use your tongue to sense pheromones or chemicals in the air]

[Poison Resistance LV 1: Grants minor resistance to poison's]

I must have been born with the [Constrict], [Bite] and [Chemical Sense] skills. The [Poison Resistance] skill must have been generated when I ate that fruit, meaning skills can be learnt by doing specific actions. I'm gonna have to test this out.

Hmm...these skills are beginner however they will help me immensely in my survival. Now lets look at that unique skill shall we?

[Unique Skill: [Self-Modification]: The ability to modify and mutate your body without evolution using bio points. This skill is also used to control every aspect of your evolution. Bio points can be earned by consuming biomass. If too much of the same biomass is consumed no bio points will be earned. Unique skills cannot be levelled up. This is a skill unique to you alone, it is a boon granted to you by @#$%^&* because of your [Reincarnation] status] [Bio Points: 4]

God damn, this skill may not look like much but it's really overpowered when you really look at it. When I ate the fruit the voice said I gained 1 bio point, so I was born with three of them. I wonder where they came from? And who the hell is @#$%^&*!?

No matter I need to test out these skills and see what the skill points can do.
