He woke up in a white room, tied to a hospital bed and with a few dozen tubes fed into his body. He was confused. He was scared. But none of that compared to the confusion and fear that flooded him when he realized he had new memories. Two sets of new memories. One from the body he was now in...and another set from a fictitious character.

He was confused. He was three people in one body. He was then experimented on. He was in pain.

His name was Jason. He had memories of a time as a soldier in a normal world; our Earth. He had memories of a time as a Marine who served with Frank Castle and memories of the Incident that destroyed most of New York along with the knowledge of the Avengers; memories from the body he was currently in. And finally, he had the memories of a protege of Batman. Jason Todd.

With these memories, and the powers awakened by the experiments, will he be able to escape? Of course. But would he be able to piece himself back together again afterwards?

“Get up and great your boss!”

 A huge black smoke covered a giant reptile which was dead and was lying in the large river. 

The black smoke slowly rose up and took the form of the same reptile.

 ‘Gwwrrr’

 The reptile was staring at Kai who glared back at it. The reptile then suddenly bowed in front of him as if he was meeting his King. 

“Good, another fine material in my collection.”, Kai grinned.

 Join me in this amazing adventure where a boy somehow ends up in prehistoric era and dominates it using the skills of Necromancy that he stumbled upon somehow!

There is no antagonist in this story, as the biggest antagonist is MC himself

As it turned out, at that very moment Morgana was having the time of her life. She had already hatched an evil plan to destroy a system and now she was waiting for it to run its full course. She and her team were settled up on the branch of a large tree, watching the entrance of a cave below.
It was the home of a large number of reptile creatures she had discovered while scouting. They were grey in colour and stood on two legs with noticeably smaller arms. Their backs had rows of spikes and their bodies were covered with vivid green and yellow streaks.
They were clearly dangerous with their large numbers and each reptile had a mouth filled with rows of serrated fangs that oozed with poison while their spiked thick tails swung around dangerously as they roared in anger.  
But Morgana was unperturbed as she watched, because her team was not their target.
Across from this pack of reptiles, stood another pack of reptiles that looked exactly the same, apart from some minor differences. They were also grey in colour and stood on two legs with similarly smaller arms, but their backs bore a plume of black feathers instead of spikes, their small arms ended in long feathers and their bodies were covered with black and white streaks.
Resting on top of the tree branch, Morgana watched the forest floor teeming with life as the members of two separate colonies came together to vie for supremacy. The two reptiles could be said to be the same creature – once plucked of all their decorations, of course. Yet they were so openly at odds with each other and this was not due to any fault on their part.
The team of snakes who stood back to watch the ensuing feud were the true cause.
Some hours earlier, Morgana's hunt had failed on two separate occasions. First her poisoned prey had been stolen by the group of reptiles with black feathers, and the second time a four legged majestic, winged beast she had been wanting to capture had been cruelly ripped apart by the hunting group of the spiked reptiles.
Unwilling to accept the loss anyway, Morgana decided to get back at them, once and for all.  
She dispatched her team to stalk both reptiles to find their respective caves and once located, she visited them herself. At the feathered reptile's cave, she'd picked up a scent and traced the location to an empty field. There she instructed her team to dig below the ground and to her surprise they found a cache of buried eggs.
And soon the evil plan was conceived.
She instructed her team to move all of the feathered reptile's eggs, making sure to break a few to make them extra angry. Then she visited the spiked reptile's cave to do the same.
With her leaving a trail of broken eggs, going from one reptile's cave to another's, it wasn't a surprise each reptile thought the other was responsible. Although they didn't destroy all their eggs, they had buried them elsewhere to make it seem like they did. And now Morgana's despicable plan was playing out right before their eyes.
Each side had stormed off to attack the other, furious over the loss of their eggs and now it had devolved into a confrontation of reptile against reptile, fighting each other with poison.
Morgana watched the battle from up in the tree. Her team was tense, but she was not. She kept thinking it shouldn't be this fun to spread disharmony, but as more and more of the reptiles succumbed to blows, an exhilarating feeling spread throughout her body.
Who would have thought it would be this easy? And this exciting.
Morgana relaxed and spread herself languidly on the tree branch. Three members of her team were watching the battle progress with the same fascination as her, but she glossed over them. Her eyes settled on the last member of her team that was looking away disappointedly. She observed this snake with interest.
When she instructed everyone to dig, she had been the only one to disagree, but eventually she had succumbed to the pressure she exerted as Captain.
[You wouldn't feel bad if you tried one of their eggs. They are quite tasty.] Morgana pondered in a low playful voice. Something about this snake defying her thrilled her and she felt the urge to tease her a little.
Their eyes met, but the snake looked away almost immediately, making Morgana sigh. [You feel sad. That's reasonable.]
The snake peered over at her, seeming to tremble a little. [I-I don't feel anything…]
Morgana's face lit up with a smile as the trembling snake came closer to her, it was like she was trying to prove she wasn't afraid. And together they looked down at the battle raging below.
[Isn't it interesting how, to one half a bite is harmless but to the other half it is fatal.] Morgana mused. [And yet they both look the same. It must make you wonder if the same thing applies to us.]
[What do you mean?]
Morgana was thoughtful. She had been trying to figure out why she felt strange since leaving the cave. The substance their leader had fed them was not deadly, but it made her feel strangely excited. She wasn't sure what it was, but watching the reptiles battling below was beginning to give her an idea.
[I don't understand what you mean Morgana. We should return their eggs back. We shouldn't have taken their young.]
[Hmm...not yet. Haven't you ever wondered how it works?]
[How what works?]
[Our poison.]
[No, I – ]
[To me and you, it is harmless. But if you take another type of snake, perhaps it would be fatal – just look at them.]
The reptiles fighting below had reduced by half their initial number. The feathered reptiles who had been bitten by the spiked reptiles had succumbed to poison and now lay weakened on the ground. The same thing was also happening in reverse with both sides suffering casualties. The reptile colony that was once cooperative had now devolved into total anarchy.  
[This is wrong. We shouldn't have done this.]
[Why is it wrong?] Morgana asked. [Fighting your enemies is the best way to guarantee your survival, is it not? Do you really think you won't have to participate in it? Or do you see yourself completely above it all?]
[I-I...It's wrong! We shouldn't have done it!] The trembling snake was completely unravelling at her words. On one side, she wanted to maintain her principles and be against unnecessary violence, but on the other hand, Morgana's words were true. [We should have done this another way.]
[What other way?] Morgana's smile was cruel. [Appeal to them to leave our food alone. Say please?]
The trembling snake shook her head.
[We are all so lucky, we don't have other snakes living near us. Imagine having to squabble amongst ourselves over territory or something like food when every bite could kill.]
Morgana paused. [But I often wonder just how close we came to that reality in the beginning.]
[Are you saying we can't kill each other with our poison?]
Morgana peered over at the snake, observing her carefully as her head looked down at the battle below. She wasn't sure either, but if it was the same for the reptiles below, it was very likely. The creatures were still fighting but the majority were now weak and slow.
Morgana knew it was time to finish them off. But first, she had to be sure.
Before the snake beside her knew what was happening, she was tackled on the branch in a constriction hold. Wrapped up and bound tightly, the snake could barely struggle as Morgana brought her fangs to her neck.
[What are you doing!] The snake squealed.
The rest of the team who was watching the battle turned to look at them with wide eyes.
Morgana spoke in a low voice that was barely a whisper. [Why didn't 'her' poison affect you? You should want to kill them just as much as I do. Are you just playing pretend? Or are you really unaffected?]
The snake struggled to get free, desperately trying to get away from Morgana's savage eyes. But when she could not, her eyes flickered towards the rest of the team, pleading for them to help her.  
Unfortunately, the remaining three snakes were too afraid to move closer. Rather than challenge Morgana, they looked away like they didn't see anything.
Morgana sneered at her. [Don't pretend to be above us. It's ugly.]
[I'm not, I'm not pretending. Help me!] The snake shook her head and cried, but something sharp pierced her body and she immediately went limp. Afterwards her breathing came fast, her eyes glazed over and her screaming quickly became a whisper.
Morgana released her and the snake fell limply on the branch and began to pant for breath. [You bit me…how could you…do that.]
Morgana frowned. [I'm only testing our poison. Why did you scream like that?] she gave the trembling snake a once over. [You're not dead. Maybe it takes a different sort of poison to affect us?]  
[You!]
The trembling snake from before was now unrecognisable. She may have been able to suppress their leader's poison, but after Morgana's bite, the bloodlust surging inside of her from two poisons was too potent to resist. Her righteous facade was gone and the anger swelling inside of her made her even more insatiable than the others.
Morgana turned away and looked down at the weakened reptiles in satisfaction.
[Let's hunt until we are full. Kill them all and don't hold back.]
[Yes Captain!]
[Yes Captain!]
[Yes Captain!]
[Yes Captain!]
With a new set of orders, her team descended from the tree with killing intent, ready to go wild.

Returning to the mountain cave in Vietnam, Amanda came out of the wormhole with her heart aching. She badly needed to get her crystal back, and she was sure it was the same with Absi.
"Amanda!" Screamed Abasic from below where she stood.
Amanda ran to the direction of Abasi's voice and saw him sending fireballs into the half-man snake. Despite Abasi using the phoenix's wings', the snake could maneuver its way in between waters and rocks, reaching him at the very top while swirling its body to the limestone hanging from above.
Abasi was barely holding on, putting a hand on his chest, utterly in pain. That was the result of using a crystal that was not meant for them to hold. 
Seeing Abasi in distress, Amanda let out her hand and ordered the green crystal to bring him to her.
Abasi was still at it, fighting the reptile while throwing balls of fire when he felt himself fading out in mid-air. Just as the snake let out its fangs, ready to jump at him and take a bite, Abasi disappeared before it.
From jumping into the air, the snake fell against the slimy passage below. It's loud hiss echoed through the biggest cave in the world whereas Abasi re-appeared before Amanda.
The two masters quickly exchanged powers and from the highest peak of the cave, it brightly reflected two colors of the earth; red and green. Not a moment too soon, Amanda and Abasi had back their original crystal dwelling in their bodies once more. 
Amanda and Abasi were still gasping for air from the pain of having exchanged crystal, exceeding the threshold of fifteen minutes. Abasi ended up spatting blood, but Amanda immediately recovered.
"What - what on earth were you doing in Pelagy, Amanda?! That was not the right world!" Complained Abasi. Amanda was supposed to survey the entrance of Ophida's gate and return to help send back the snake, but instead, she opened a gate to Pelagy.
"I - I have been searching for the gate to Pelagy in Trinity Bay, it just came out of my mouth - Anyway, no time to talk," she said before her eyes illuminated in red, then came out phoenix wings spreading free together with her hands.
Turning to Abasi, she said, "Prepare the gate to Ophida. Let's return the snake."
Amanda flew to find the reptile, into the deepest part of the cave. With her angry flames, the obscurity faded out. Her feet landed to the ground, and she slowly walked deeper into the darkness.
Out of nowhere, the snake charged at her from above. It was apparently hanging itself from one of the limestones that grew across the cave.
"Aaahh!" Amanda slid down to the slimy ground while avoiding the frontal attack. She lay on her back as the snake's body went past her. 
Seeing its frame in front of her, she produced a blade of fire from her right hand and slashed it across the snake's trunk.
Simultaneously, she strengthened her flames to keep the reptile away from her and promptly burned the gushing blood that meant to stain her skin. 
The reptile screeched in pain, squirming its frame on the ground as Amanda struggled to free from its humongous body. It landed on top of her after she wounded its belly. 
"Urrrgggg!" She yelled as she forced herself away from the reptile's trunk, flying up into the cavern's top. 
Amanda quickly turned around to study the situation. Just at that very moment, Abasi came and planted his feet yards from where the snake was. He opened a gate to its home and said to Amanda, "Force it to this direction, Amanda!"
 Hearing Abasi, Amanda scorched her hands with a sizeable flame, four times the extent of her body. Despite it still being in Amanda's hand, it sent the snake's scales burning that it rushed in the opposite direction. 
Thrusting the gigantic ball of fire, Amanda roared while letting out the strength. "Aaaahhhhhhh! Burn you snake!"
Half the reptile's trunk caught on fire as it wiggled its way inside the wormhole Abasi made. As Abasi slowly closed the gate, the snake also disappeared before the two masters of the earth. 
After seeing the creature leave, Amanda and Abasi took heavy breaths, while resting themselves on the ground. 
"That was a handful reptile, far worse than the lizard," remarked Amanda. 
"Tell me about it," said Abasi. 
They took a few minutes to breathe, but just as when they thought they have fully relaxed, Abasi saw Amanda going up in flames without control. The height of her fire quickly reached half of the cave. 
"Oh, no! Not Again!" Exclaimed Abasi. "Amanda, I am sending you back to the sea now!"
In a matter of seconds, Abasi's eyes glowed in green, sending Amanda to the deepest sea in Trinity Bay. The furious flames quickly faded from within the cavern, leaving only the dying smoke that formed into a swirl.
Abasi was now alone, catching his breath in the middle of the largest cave in Vietnam. He muttered, "Spirits, when will Amanda be able to fully tame her flames?"
At some point, Abasi feared Amada's powers. If it were not for him, sending her to beneath the waters, the master of the red crystal would have already done more damage than good into this world. 
He closed his eyes and spoke to the spirits, "I beg you, spirits of the world. Let us find the blue crystal master soon. This is my plea."
The sea was Amanda's haven, a way to turn off her flames. It was there in Trinity Bay where she mostly took her rest from a fight that would ignite her fire, sending it out of control. 
Amanda rested once again on the seabed, only to wake up in the night's dusk. Her eyes opened, fully understanding where she was. 
She began to make the swim to the surface, but after reaching ten feet up, she noticed a sparkling object blinding her. It glowed so brightly, nearly aching her eyes. That very night, she could not resist but to swim to the direction of the glowing object. 
Digging through a heap of sand, she found a golden sword with ruby stone. For a minute, she found herself in a daze at the beautiful craft. It was a double-edged sword, substantial-weighed, fit for a powerful king. 
She remained to stare for seconds. It was as if the sword was calling her. 
She swam up to the surface and made it to the shore, bringing back the mysterious blade she found under the sands of Trinity Bay. 
Amanda settled on the coast, first further studying the sword in her hand. Suddenly, the blade glowed in yellow and a rope of light seemed to have sprung free from the handle. 
She gasped as the light bound against her hand and in a split second; the sword vanished, leaving a strange mark on Amanda's wrist.
"What the? What's going on? Where did the sword go?"

(COMPLETED) Amanda was getting too hot, literally, and only the master of water could cool her down. Unfortunately, he was missing in action. 

****

Amanda was the master of fire. After five years of carrying out her responsibility, she was an accomplished fighter, but soon her strength became unmanageable and only the master of water can tame her flames. 
Sadly, he was nowhere to be found. 

Why? It was a mystery altogether.

****

"I want someone to talk to," Amanda said before taking a deep breath. "I want somebody to hold and... I can only do that with you."

"I did not think you missed me that much," Christopher said with a smirk on his face.

He reached for her cheeks and caressed them with both his hands before he leaned over for a kiss.

Amanda's heart fluttered, seeing his lips inches from her. She gulped and said to herself, 'I might as well splurge.'

"Nothing like carrying one hundred pounds after shopping all day to work up a sweat," I said dropped the twenty bags at my feet. Evos did the same though he carefully handled the glass jar filled with his fish.
"I'm going put these guys in a tank, and can you tell people that they can't eat these." I wanted to scold him for trying to give me orders, but I realized that someone might try to eat them.
"Good point, just put down a sign that says don't touch, and that should do it." Leaving for the lab, I opened the door and almost stepped on a nearly invisible snake. 'Master is back!'
She sounded happy to see me, and I suddenly felt very guilty about leaving her in there all by herself. "How long have you been awake?" I asked as I picked up the reptile and walked over to the lab bench.
'Not long, I was sleeping when I felt Master coming to check in on me.' I nodded like that was my plan all along, but I had forgotten about the albino snake. "And now that I'm here, I want to ask you a few questions. Can you do that for me?"
'I will do anything for Master, even if I cost me my life.' Trying not to think about the brainwashed reptile, I moved on, "Do you have any memories before you met me? No matter how small they might be, I need to know."
The snake coiled into a mound before raising to meet my eye level, 'I don't recall much, but I do remember feeling cold. So cold I thought I would shatter into a thousand pieces. Then a warm fuzzy feeling enveloped my entire body, and as it did, I felt my connection to you. You wanted me to survive and evolve, so I did. I changed to fit your image of perfection, Master!'
While some people would love to have a talking reptile praise them, my life was already strange enough for me. The last thing I needed was an overzealous snake. 'It seems as if both the needs and the wants of the subject are taken into account during the evolution process. I can try this experiment again and hold a mental image to prove my theory.'
It was one route I could go down, though I wanted to do a little more digging with the subject I had in front of me. "Do you have a name? I can't keep writing down the snake and reptile in my notes."
'Whatever master wants calls me will be more than enough.'
"Fine, your name is Hebi. It means snake in my native tongue." Hebi hissed in apparent pleasure, 'So I am a Hebi, such a great name. Thank you for naming me, master.' Her positivity still put me off the edge, but I didn't have the heart to tell her off.
Hebi was like a child, and I found that even more disturbing. I had created her from my flesh and blood and experimented on her. "Hebi, what would you say if I asked you to undergo the same treatment?"
'I would do anything if master wished of it.' That was all the confirmation I needed. Taking a Darwin Serum dose, I gently lifted one of Hebi's scales and injected her. Taking a step back, I broadcast my thoughts on how I wanted her to change, holding a mental image.
But instead of growing and changing, Hebi started to writhe in pain, it only took me a second to understand what was happening, and I jumped into action.
Lifting my hand, a curved bone ejected from my wrist. Finding the injection site, I pushed in the bone syringe and started pumping nutrients into the snake. Hebi relaxed, and the transformation began in full.
She started to grow, swelling like a balloon, but she began to take up the entire countertop. Cursing, I grabbed the now python-sized snake and hauled it out of the room up to the deck. There was no one training right now, so I didn't have to explain the expanding snake.
Hebi stopped growing around the twenty-foot mark, but the transformation was long from finished. Her scales started to elongate and flatten across the middle of Hebi, becoming fins that looked razor-sharp.
Then the skin a foot behind her head split open, and two wings unfurled. Like the rest of her body, they were pure white with iridescent colors. 'A winged python, I guess it did work, but how about the rest of the changes.'
Like before, Hebi was in a deep sleep, so I had time to check her over. Opening her mouth, I looked inside, everything seemed to be in order, but then I spotted a line of white flesh going down her throat.
As I opened her mouth wider, the light hit the line, and it started to glow and heat up. Closing her mouth, I smiled. Hebi had evolved an advanced form of bioluminescence. Though instead of giving off the light, she seemed to absorb it.
The experiment was also a success. The image I had in my mind was an angle snake. I didn't believe it would work, but Hebi had grown a pair of wings and could weaponize light.
To wake her up faster, I reinserted my bone needle and fed Hebi through the improvised IV. After a few minutes, she started to wake up, 'Master, did it work? I feel stronger.' Hebi looked at her new body, 'I hope master is pleased by my new form. I tried to match the image you gave me.'
"I am more than please, and you don't have to call me master. Captain is fine, and yes, I'm very pleased." Hebi's wings flapped, and she lifted half her body off the ground, 'Hebi is happy that captain is happy.'
Then she opened her mouth, and a beam of light erupted from her mouth. After a minute the beam stopped and Hebi closed her mouth and I don't know how but I swear she blushed.

Star was worried when the serpent suddenly stopped caring about her words and began to race towards a point in the battleground.

She couldn't follow his movement at all nor see what he was doing because he was moving way too fast for her reflexes to keep up.

Suddenly, the snake stopped to move like a fast projectile and started to slowly open his mouth, a strange silver light starting to cover his violet eyes until they were like two pieces of solid silver.
Star, like everyone else around her, could see what the serpent did afterward: he created another of those strange holes in the dark sky, attracting and consuming a large quantity of red and silver filaments.

"Heavens! Look!" said one of the Hunters, pointing at the serpent's wounds.

Under the shocked eyes of Star, the broken and bloody flesh mended itself with a rapidity she never thought possible. In just a few minutes what had been terrifying and maybe even death inducing injury, disappeared completely. Only an almost invisible thin scar remained on the black scales of the creature.

"Dammit", the green haired lady screamed inwardly, a look of concern appearing on her young face. This went completely against her plans!

She wanted to offer the Devil a way to heal its wounds, making it more dependent on her help.
However, the creature demonstrated that it didn't have any need for her help. The wound that she wanted to use to befriend it was gone! When she devised her plan, the wound seemed something incredibly urgent and serious, but the serpent healed it up in a few minutes!

"I need him! I can't let this opportunity sail!", she shouted in her mind, trying to ignore the fear that the now completely healthy creature made her feel.

Star Leaf looked at the devil before her, remaining in silence, while the huge hole in the sky suddenly closed up. The snake nodded, satisfied at the look of his mended wound, then scanned with his gaze the battleground around him. Finally, he focused his cruel eyes right on her.

She wavered, trying to think of something else now that her first plan had completely gone sideways. However, the snake didn't wait for her to speak. 

"They are my enemies?", a young but stone cold voice echoed directly in her mind, stunning her for a moment. 

"Do you think I'm that stupid to help you just because you said so?" continued the voice, mockingly. Star Leaf gulped down. She shook off her fears and after gathering all her confidence, she started moving towards the snake.

"I can help you–" she began saying.

"I already heard that from your race... however only after I showed them my power... before, they usually aren't that nice..." the voice interrupted her coldly. The girl could feel a sense of disgust in the voice, mix with rage.

"I can help you with cultivation!" she suddenly said the woman, unable to maintain her cold blood before the inquisitive nefarious look of the reptile. She didn't want to be attacked before she had the opportunity to explain herself.

"Oh? That's nice... I will take whatever you have" responded by the cold voice. He didn't ask. He demanded. He didn't use any menacing words, but he meant them. She could feel it from his tone.

"Maybe he doesn't even think that we deserve to be menaced..." she suddenly considered. Yes, maybe she and her companions were like cattle in front of his eyes, he didn't even think of menacing them.

The green haired beauty wavered for a moment. "No, I can't stop right now! This is my chance!" she thought again, trying to resist the impulse that made her shiver in fear in front of those cruel violet eyes. 

Suppressing her fears, she started to move closer to the serpent, until she was right in front of the creature.

She then went on her knees and got her face right in front of the reptile. Her whole body was trembling lightly, even if she tried with all her might to stop it.

"I don't know what kind of lie Winter Leaf said to you, Great Devil, but she won't be capable to obtain the Silver Leaf Umbra Tulip! Only us from the Main Family can enter the grotto where it grows. " she slowly and softly spoke, almost as if she was afraid that the rest of the Forest Will Tribe would hear her.

"Silver Leaf Umbra Tulip? I heard that somewhere..." Darkscale thought, while looking at the girl in front of him. He couldn't remember exactly where, but he was sure that he already heard of that somewhere.

"You remember the Umbra Tulip!" Carelia tried to remind him. "It's an element required for the Soul Agony Venom Technique" she continued.

"Oh, so it has a similar name, but it isn't the same thing... it's not something I can use... so... she's useless" Darkscale responded, his eyes narrowing with disgust while he looked back at the nearby human. While this particular human didn't smell like the common stench of sweat and fear that her race normally had around them, and instead had a pleasurable flowery fragrance, he didn't like her the same.

"That's all?" he asked her using the rune inscribed on his flesh.
Star Leaf noticed a strange yet menacing look in Darkscale's eyes. She immediately understood that he didn't know the value of the plant, so she tried to explain it to him. 

"Great Devil, the Silver Leaf Umbra Tulip is greatly required by the Heavenly Reptile Sect! My clan leader even used it to obtain two spots in the outer sect for his son and his niece!".

"Oh? Heavenly Reptile Sect?" now, Darkscale's curiosity was picked.

"Master, that should be a local cultivator sect. I don't have any information about it, so it should be one of the smaller sects of the area" Carelia explained.

"A sect?" the black snake wondered, trying to search his memories for this term without finding any definition of an idea of what it was.

"It's like a village, but where cultivators train and live." Carelia responded after a moment of silence. If Darkscale wasn't too shocked by the news, he would have noticed that her tone was a little strange, almost begrudging.

A tribe where cultivator trains and lives? A heavenly place like that existed? How come that he learned about it just now?

Star Leaf, seeing the surprise in the eyes of the serpent, misrepresented him and believed that he finally understood the importance of the Silver Leaf Umbra Tulip. She sighed, her heart finally at ease: if he understood that she was the only one that could help him get to that precious resource, her life would be surely safe.

"Great Demon, as you know the Silver Leaf Umbra Tulip can only be grown in a place like the Yellow Lake. Some of the more unorthodox venom techniques of the Heavenly Reptile Sect need the consumption of the plant in order to be correctly cultivated!" she said.

"I can help you get it, and you could use it to coax your way in the Sect or even keep it on your person to trade inside or to cultivate the techniques yourself." she continued.

A method to get inside the sect? Darkscale's eyes widened in surprise. He only recently discovered the existence of these sects and now he already found a way to get inside one?

That was some exaggerated strike of luck!

"Great Devil, do not trust her! Star Leaf is a snake!" Winter Leaf suddenly cried, from her bowed position. Then, under the narrowing eyes of the serpent, she realizes the terrible mistake that she had just committed. 

"Oh, so what is about snakes that you dislike?" a cruel voice resounded on her head. Before she could apologize, the mark on her chest started working under the stimulation of Darkscale's Will Manipulation. The human felt her whole body explode with pain, making her emit a long and painful wail.

The green haired woman, right next Darkscale, saw the exchange happening and her eyes flashed first with rage, then worry. Rage because of the interception of that stupid brainless mudblood that put her on the spot. Worry because she realized that things weren't exactly how she believed between the devil and Winter! Winter Leaf wasn't some kind of partner to the snake, she was his underling! He also used some kind of power to punish her painfully from long distance.

"I can't let that happen to me!" she thought, looking at the girl with dark long hair being tortured to insanity.

"Mph, I'm done listening to your stupid proposals. Give me the location of the herb and I will consider killing you rapidly" said the snake, his cruel voice echoing in her head. "Do it now, or I will start with those morons behind you... if you are fast, maybe I can spare you..." laughed the creature.
"He wants to kill us all!" Star shouted internally, her face paling considerably and her body starting to tremble even more. She faltered even more: how could she leave him to kill her companions? even if he truly was going to leave her alive, she wouldn't survive! If she was left alive alone in the forest, she would surely die on the way to the Outpost. She needed them!

Not having any other choices, she finally gave up her last card. The only other bargaining chip that she had, and one of the major reasons that she dared to ask for the devil's help.

"Great Devil, have you ever heard of dual cultivation?" asked the woman, her eyes shining with a strange light. "Dual Cultivation? What about it" asked the snake back.

"I know a Dual Cultivation technique. I can practice it with you if you leave my fellow countryman free" confessed Star Leaf, slightly blushing.

She didn't manage to look at the creature right in the eye, but she believed that, with the idea of possessing her, he would truly think twice about his murdering spree.

Yet, she was wrong.

"Tsss, stupid human. I will take the technique and enslave you and kill them." laughed the snake. When she, stunned by his reaction, looked back up towards his eyes she saw that they weren't full of desire and lust. On the contrary! They were full of disgust and pity. Her mind blanked. This was the first time that something like that happened to her. She was sure that devils had the same impulses as of normal humans, especially when women were concerned! How did she know it? Her family, the Leaf family, had a person that had served as a human cauldron in the Heavenly Reptile Sect long ago. The same person had brought back a single seed of Silver Leaf Umbra Tulip when she was sent home after years of service.

"Please, I'm willing to cultivate it with you! Just leave them alone!" begged the woman. Even if she didn't do it from the kindness of her heart, no one other than Winter Leaf understood it.
Everyone around her, hunters included, believed that she was trying to save them without any other reason than them being of the same tribe.

When Marcus woke up, the sun was high up in the sky.
Despite his state of exhaustion, he had trouble falling asleep the previous night. Various factors conspired to keep him awake, the first of them being the fact that sleeping in a small hole in the ground with insects and spiders crawling all around wasn't exactly a comfy bed.
Second, he was incredibly hungry, and the rumblings of his stomach weren't easy to ignore.
Third, he had been incredibly scared and tense all night. He could hear various creatures moving outside of his temporary shelter, and his imagination pictured all sort of scary predators crawling inside the hole he was hiding in to devour him whole.
Between all that, it took hours for the fatigue to finally overcome him, and even then his sleep had been troubled by blurred, feverish nightmares.
He probably didn't sleep soundly for more than a couple of hours, but despite that, he was feeling surprisingly well-rested.
He crawled out of the hole, got up, and stretched himself.
"Well, good morning Vietnam!" he said while yawning "Let's see what shitty surprise this new day has in store for us!"
His stomach rumbled violently, making Marcus grimace. The hunger was getting unbearable, and he absolutely had to find something to eat. Which, since he was in the middle of a forest, basically meant he had to either find some edible plants or hunt something. And since he wasn't an expert of botany and didn't know which plants were safe to eat and which were not, his only option was to catch some prey.
But even before that, he needed to drink some water. And that meant that he had to visit that gorge again, where that brutal crystal horned deer could attack him again.
Marcus grimaced even harder at the prospect of being chased by that beast again. But then again, maybe if he'd try to be stealthy he wouldn't be found out. It wasn't as if he had been particularly careful before.
Weighting his possibilities, he decided that a visit to the river was worth the risk. After all, he hadn't found any other water source nearby.
As soon as he made this resolution, he picked a broken branch to use as a crutch from the beginning and started walking toward the gorge.
About one hour later, Marcus was scanning the surroundings while hiding in a bush near the river. The deer was nowhere to be seen, but just to be sure he waited for a few minutes before carefully stepping out in the open.
Quickly but trying to be as silent as possible he approached the river, always turning his head left and right to spot any possible danger.
He couldn't see any though, and he couldn't even hear anything besides the water and the birds singing, so he crouched near the stream and tried to pick up water by making a cup with his hands, but that failed because of the hard chitin armor covering them.
He almost let out a sigh and then just lowered his head into the water, drinking like an animal as he had done the day before.
He really needed to find some kind of cup of container for the water, but for now, he didn't have anything like that.
As soon as his thirst was sated, he carefully started to step back into the woods when he saw a movement to his right.
Marcus froze, fearing that it was the deer, but luckily that wasn't the case. A big, brown snake, almost 2 meters long and with some kind of horns over his eyes and nose, was slithering through the rocks towards the river.
While he was staring at it, the reptile reached the water and started drinking with rapid movements of its forked tongue.
The man looked appraisingly at the animal. It looked quite dangerous, especially if it was venomous, and the sound of a fight could attract the deer. But this point, he was so hungry that even a snake looked positively appetizing, not to mention it was the only animal he had met so far that he thought he had a chance of defeating.
As if it has sensed his ravenous intentions, the reptile raised his head, staring at him with his cold eyes.
Marcus stood still for a few moments, but then his hunger won over his caution and he grabbed the fallen branch he had used as a crutch.
If things kept going like this, he'd become too weak to fight and die of starvation very soon. Better to take a risk now rather than wait for that.
With caution, he moved a few, tense steps towards the snake, raising the stick over his head, ready to strike. He didn't want to take any chance in case the animal had a venomous bite, so he planned to just smash its head with the branch as soon as it was into striking distance.
But before he could do that, the reptile launched itself at him, his mouth open to show two oversized fangs.
Marcus barely dodged that attack by jumping to his right, then cursed and struck down with his stick, hitting the snake's body.
The animal trembled in pain, but the blow was not enough to kill him, and its head darted again towards the man.
This time he was too slow, and the beast bit his arm, causing him to scream in surprise.
But still, there was no pain. He looked at his arm and saw that the snake's fangs had failed to pierce his chitin armor.
He immediately recovered from the shock, seeing an opportunity to attack. While he was uselessly chewing on his arm the snake was effectively stuck, so he lifted the branch with the other hand and struck its head with all the strength he could muster.
The reptile let go of his arm, dizzy because of the concussion, but Marcus didn't give it any pause. Grabbing the stick with both hands, he started savagely hitting the beast's head and body.
"Die. You. Stupid. Mother. Fucker!" he grunted, emphasizing every blow with a word.
This went on for a while due to Marcus's low strength and the snake's resilience, but finally, with a lucky strike, the man hit the animal right behind the head, breaking its spine with a sound of crumbling bones.
The reptile fell on the ground, writhing in agony, but after a while, it completely stopped moving.
Only then Marcus left himself fall on the ground, breathing heavily. His arms felt like they weighed a ton, and he let go of the stick, just sitting on his knees in front of the lifeless body of his prey.
He won!
He felt a sensation of happiness and triumph coursing through his tired body. He felt incredibly alive, and all of his senses were sharpened: the slight breeze caressing his body felt cold like ice, his sight could see details of his surroundings that he had always ignored before, and the beating of his heart was deafening.
But he didn't have the time to rest on his laurels. He could hear the sound of a big animal galloping in his direction, probably meaning that the deer was coming to investigate the commotion that had happened.
So Marcus forced himself to get on his feet, grabbed the snake's body, and dragged it into the forest, hiding among the bushes.
After a few seconds, the majestic deer appeared, raising splashes of water while running in the river.
The huge beast stopped abruptly where the man and the snake had fought, and raised its head while sniffing the air.
Marcus stood still, tension gripping his shoulders.
Then, after what felt like an eternity but were actually a few minutes, the deer sneezed with contempt and walked away, leaving him alone with his prey.
Marcus sighed with relief. He felt incredibly tired right now, and he didn't know if he would have had the energies to run away from the deer this time.
But luckily he hadn't been found out, and now he finally had something to eat.
He looked at the snake's corpse. To his mind, it looked incredibly repulsive, but his instincts were urging him to devour it.
He actually started drooling, and he had to use all of his self-control to not jump over the carcass right there and now: after all, the deer could come back at any time. Better to consume his meal away from the gorge.
So he grabbed the corpse, lifted it on his shoulders, and started dragging it away from the river.
While he was walking, he thought about how he was gonna eat his prey.
"I don't have any tool to skin it. Maybe I could just try to light a fire to roast it whole? But how do I light a fire here in the forest? Could I light it using two sticks? Or maybe two stones?"
While he was walking, he was feeling more and more hungry. The rumbling of his stomach was growing stronger, and he couldn't ignore them anymore.
He looked at the body of the snake.
"Well... maybe... if it's just a bite, I could try to eat it raw... just to stop... this stupid hunger..."
He stopped and raised the torso of the snake to his mouth.
His reason was screaming at him that it was disgusting and gross, but his hunger was too strong. He opened his mouth and bit down the reptile corpse.
His sharp teeth easily pierced through the hard scales, and cold blood flew into his mouth. It tasted bitter and revolting, but his instincts kicked in and he found himself wolfing down the meat like it was the most delicious thing in the world. He ate meat, scales, and bones without distinction, chewing it all down easily.
Finally, after he took the last bite, he realized that he had eaten the whole snake, leaving nothing behind.
"What the hell!?!" he said, surprised and vaguely disgusted, his hunger finally leaving way to his rationality "Did I really eat a raw snake!?! With bones and everything!?!"
He was quite amazed. And to make things weirder, he didn't even feel sick. Actually, he was still a bit peckish.
He stood there in puzzlement and then sighed.
"Well... that was weird. And gross. And disgusting. And I hope that I'll never have to do something like that ever again... but at least now I'm not that hungry anymore." he sighed "Let's just hope that I won't feel sick later. For now, I just want to lay down and rest for a bit."
And he headed for his shelter, walking out of the valley.
While he was walking, though, he experienced a weird feeling.
He couldn't put it into words, but it was like he was somehow... "memorizing" the snake. Details of the reptile's physiology flashed through his mind. He suddenly was kind of aware of the composition of its scales, the arrangement of the muscles that allowed it to move, and of its venom glands.
He stopped for a second, wondering if overeating raw flesh like that was giving him hallucinations, but he felt fine. He just felt as if those pieces of information were being absorbed into some part of him.
He shrugged. Probably he was just tired. He hoped that a nap would help him recover.
So he kept going until he reached the relative safety of his improvised shelter.

Marcus is a young man that had a very bad day at work. 
First, he had a horrible customer during his shift. Then he got fired by his boss. And after that, he got shot to death during a robbery. 
And to top it all of, he awakened with the body of a weak and strange creature in a fantasy world full of deadly monsters. 

And that's just Monday!

Now Marcus will have to find a way to survive as a Vex Queen, but to do so his bravery and determination are not enough. He needs to build a hive that will protect him, as it won't be just monsters that he'll have to face...


This book is not mine i just like it so i want to put it on here because I don't like other sites and i know other people don't too here's the author: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/22115/i-dont-want-to-be-the-hive-queen

After arriving on the property and instructing the maids on where to keep the shopping bags Esmeralda walked towards the front door and opened it. Entering she raised her eyebrow as she stared at the commotion in front of her. Maids running to and fro from different sides of the house holding one thing or the other , Kyle running after a cheery Anastasia who seems to be barking orders at some people who by any chance may collapse from lack of rest and their pet dog Snow...well let's say the white fluffy maltese ignored the people around him and stuck his attention to his toy. 


As if noticing a new presence snow looked up and looked at Esmeralda his favorite but scary master. Abandoning his toy he quickly ran to Esmeralda and barked alerting her of his presence. 


Hearing the familiar bark Esmeralda looked down and saw the white cutie wiggling his tail in happiness. Kneeling down on one knee she picked the dog up and rubbed his head making him cuddle up in her embrace. Letting out a small smile Esmeralda got up and walked towards the duo who stood by the stairs. 

"May I know why I was called back urgently?"

Esmeralda asked the duo in front of her with a raised eyebrow as she stared at her sister's cherry face that held a big smile. 

"Finally you are back." 

Asia said with the same smile on her face. 

Kyle noticed Esmeralda and quickly ran towards her and hid behind her while holding her shoulders. 

"Help me Nana." he pleaded. 


" What happening here?, and why is everyone running around?" Esmeralda asked as she gestured at the running figures.


"Guess what? " Anastasia asked as she ran towards her sister and held her hand making Esmeralda flinch at the sudden action also startling snow.


"You know I am not good at guessing." Esmeralda pointed out.


"Logan is coming tommorow."


"Who?" Esmeralda frowned 


"Your soon to be brother in-law."


"Oh really?"Esmeralda asked sarcastically as she managed to free her hand from her sister's grip.


"Yes and that's the reason why I am redecorating."


"Oh really?"


" Shut up. " 


Anastasia smacked her sister's hand playfully at her sarcastic replies.Shaking her head Esmeralda made her way towards the stairs leaving a pleading Kyle who desperately wanted to get out of his elder sister's clutches and proceeded to the third floor where her room was situated at. Immediately she opened the door Snow jumped down and raced towards Esmeralda's bed and barked while wiggling his tail. 


"It's just you and me boy."


Few minutes later Esmeralda came out  of the bathroom all freshened up in nothing but a black sweat pants and a black loose shirt with her hair in a messy bun. 

Heading towards her bed she saw snow's sleeping figure and covered the dog with a blanket. Grabbing her phone from the bed she headed towards her desk that had scattered files on it and sighed. 

"This is going to take a while."

Finally sorting out the folders Esmeralda got up and looked at the clock to see that it was past dinner time before walking out of her room leaving the door slightly opened for snow incase he wakes up and feels like coming out. Heading down the stairs she noticed the changes in the living room and made a mental note to give her sister a thumbs up for the new changes.


Exiting the house she was greeted by the cool evening breeze before she made her way towards the garden while passing the maids who kept on giving her weird glances. On reaching the garden she noticed a dark figure running from one side to the other in a very odd manner. Frowning she walked towards the figure and saw that it was a man who had his back facing her holding a big stick ready to hit something. 

Looking past him she saw something white and glittering in the moonlight moving in a circular motion and instantly knew what it was, a snake, a white snake and not just any snake her own snake. Immediately she grew alert. 

" What do you think you are doing?" 

She asked the stranger making him flinch .

"Shh I am trying to kill it. "

The stranger whispered while taking small steps towards the white snake that was prepared to strike at any given time.  

" And who gave you that right?"

Esmeralda said in a deadly tone with her hands in her pocket and a stoic face. 

Frowning the stranger turned to look at the harmless woman in front of him with a confused expression not before taking some steps back away from the dangerous reptile to avoid getting bitten by it. 

"What? "

"I know I spoke english."

She answered in the same tone as she stared at the man in front of her.Blonde hair, black eyes, athletic body and a face that any woman can die for but sadly he was not her type. 

The stranger watched the white haired woman walk towards the snake and kneeled down on one knee as she grabbed it and put the reptile on her neck while making it face her.  

"Hey what do you think  you are doing?. That's a dangerous snake I hope you know that. "


The stranger shouted as he watched the scene in front of him. ' Does she know that what she's doing is dangerous?'

"What are you doing out of your cage Sinister?"

' Sinister?.' The stranger couldn't help but gawk at the woman in front of him talking to a dangerous reptile instead of running away from it. 

"You almost got killed just now if I didn't come here on time. "

Immediately she said those words she glared at the stranger who felt a shiver of fear run down his spine. 'Who is this woman?' he asked no one in particular. 

"Who are you and what are you doing on my property?"

Esmeralda asked the stranger who's eyes held nothing but fear as he stared at her. 

"My name's Logan and... "

"So you are the mysterious fiancé of Anastasia D'Amelio?"

Esmeralda interrupted him as she stared at him, her sister always had a good taste in men. 

" Yes an..."

"Do you go about breaking into people's properties for fun?"

"No I..."

"So you have a hidden motive?"

"No I..."

" If you weren't her fiancé I would have skinned you alive immediately."

Immediately Esmeralda said that she walked away leaving a dumbfounded Logan behind. 

"Who is this woman?"

He asked himself as he watched her walk away with her hands in her pocket and the reptile resting on her shoulder.





Do not get hurt. Do not do anything dangerous. And always be careful. 

Like a mantra, these words were always repeated in her head. She didn't have a choice but to remember those words. To avoid danger she trends on the right path. To avoid accidents she does things carefully. Though tired of these things she has no choice but to accept her fate. 

" Avoid danger" was always a warning from her family. But what happens when she catches the eyes of danger unknowingly. 

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

She asked, her expression giving nothing away and leaving the men shocked. 

"Miss. How can you ask that to someone you just met?" 

One of the men asked in disbelief.

"Why? What is wrong with my question? I asked him to be my boyfriend is there anything wrong with it." 

She tilted her head to look at the man who asked the question.

Meanwhile, the big man with eyes as hard as steel continued to stare at her with a gaze his surbodinate has never seen before. Was that a look of amusement and interest in his eyes?
