An overworked man decided to take a little nap.

However, when he woke up...

I'M A SNAKE??

He has a mother that seemed like the size of the Empire State Building. Siblings that count to thousands and dangers that create fear.

Follow him as he overcomes adversities and become stronger than others. Welcome to Ecdysis!

Well, it's regrettable to say that I have been reincarnated into a snake.


Although I accept the fact that I'm a snake, what should I do now?

Munch! Munch!

For some reason, I heard a threatening sound.

Uh...

It's no good to turn my eyes away from reality.

Before my eyes, there is the snake army that is probably considered as my siblings.

They are the only one who can produce the sound.

I glance ahead quietly.

Munch! Munch!

Hogyaa!?

What are they doing!?

Huh, are they eating?

They are preying on a frog!?

The struggle to live between my siblings is what I can see.

No no no no!

This is bad, this is really bad!

Why must I fight against my blood related siblings!?

Ah, it's for food.

They are all hungry.

In fact, I am also hungry too.

Ha!?

Nono.

I escape from the reality again.

In such a battlefield, I am just a innocent girl that will fall into the clutches of men in a blink of an eye.

Literally, it's a metaphor!

Fight

Tools

Escape ←

The only way to get through this situation is to beat a retreat.

Should I fight?

Impossible.

I am a genuine go-home club.

There's no way I can fight with such violent group.

Ah! My current appearance is the same as them.

Uh.

I should escape if I have the time to think about useless things.

ZUNN!

Now, what is it!?

A sound and vibration from the rear.

When I turn around, there was a huge snake.

Oh! Is it mother?

Or is it father?

This isn't going anywhere.

I'm even confused now.

Isn't that snake way too BIG!?

It's probably ten times of my size.

Was there a snake that big on Earth?

Hyoi, Chomp.

Ah.

The huge snake bite the smaller snakes with its fang and ate it.

It's like eating a snack.

Mother, even you...! ( TL note: You too, Brutus parody)

It looks like it uses its bottom to think.

I should run away from here safely and aim to survive for now!

I escaped at full speed.

I finally calmed down after I was tired of running till I can't even move anymore.

There's no huge snake chasing after me even if I turn around.

Ah, I thought I was gonna die.

Death immediately after I was born is not a good joke.

Now that I am conscious, I have think about various things.

I am currently a snake.

It's a fact that must be accepted already.

Well, there's no such technique where a human can jump over their own height easily and run on vertical walls.

What am I talking about?

It's a story about escaping.

With so many snakes in a place, it's impossible to escape by running straight.

If I were to compare it and say, it should be like charging into a bargain sale where there's a crowd of auntie.

What a reckless act!

No, well, I didn't even charged into a bargain sale before though.

Anyway, when I was escaping, I jumped and ran on the wall just like a ninja and escaped from the snake encirclement.

 
When I was running, I had an uncomfortable feeling because of no legs but somehow I manage to move it properly without getting entangled.

Is it the so-called natural instinct?

Uh, well, being able to move my body without any inconveniences is a good thing.

So if I am a snake, then what was that super huge snake that I saw a while ago?

Uh...

Considering the situation, was that really my mother or my father?

I don't know much about snake's ecology but a parent who eats their own child should be in the natural world.

 
Well, it's a race where from the moment they are born, they started preying on a same creature first so it shouldn't be strange that the parent eats its own child.

If that huge snake is my parent, then will I become that size someday?

I'm starting to feel sick just by thinking about it.

No, snake is a beneficial creature which helped other people. Isn't it better rather than the me in my previous life?

Huh, how strange, somehow I'm sad now.

Ah, no no.

Let's return to the thought that had strayed a while ago.

Comparing with that huge snake by the size of my body will be too much.

Because I don't know how big is my body is.

If my size is just like a fingertip then it's good.

If so then I can understand the size of that huge snake.

 
Still, it should be around the size of a serpent.

However, if my size is bigger then that huge snake should be a new kind that is yet to be discovered on earth.

An undiscovered new species is still okay but I have experienced a reincarnation like in a fantasy so optimistic thinking is probably not good.

To confirm it, I have to find out my size without delay.

Is there anything that I can compare my size with?

I looked around the surroundings.

It seems that I'm inside a rather big cave.

Although there's no light, the view is favorable even it's dim.

I looked around restlessly.

Oh, Th-This is!

What's on the ground was people's footprints.

Oh!

The are footprints of several people are left clearly!

In other words, it means that a person came here before.

That means there's human in this world.

I'm deeply moved when I know there was a person.

On the contrary, I realized a terrible fact.

My body was way much bigger than the footprint of a person.

Uh...

Assuming that the height of the person is around 165cm, my size will be approximately 1m length.

Aah, uh.

I had slightly thought so since I saw that huge snake.

No matter how I think, I am not a snake that's living on Earth,

In other words, this is a different world unlike the Earth and no matter how positive I think, I am definitely a monster....Thank you very much!

The story about a student named Chizuko Mizuhara who got reincarnated after a big explosion occured during going back home from school with her friends.

Unfortunately,they got reincarnated as different species.
Some of her classmates are still humans after being reborn,few of them became elves etc.

Chizuko had the unluckiest life ever even in her previous life,when she doesn't get along with her classmates often.

But as a snake,she changed.She decided to become the strongest creature in the new world.

This kind of resembles those character sheets my students carried around for their tabletop games. Although mine is more suited to a monster than a human. When I focus in on the minor details of my status it brings up some more information, that's probably how I look at the potential mutations and evolutions. So STR affects my physical strength, VIT seems to be a measure of my stamina and how durable I am, DEX affects my agility and reflexes. INT is just a general intelligence, WIS is more common sense and perception. So kind of like a book smart over street smart thing. MND or Mind is... magic aptitude, power and defence. CHA or Charisma seems to be pretty straight forward, persuasiveness and my ability to get along with others. And LUCK is rather simple, a measurement of my luck. Taking a closure look at my race, Elite Hatchling Sea Snake, it seems a normal Hatchling Talonian Sea Snake has really low stats. I got a boost to INT and WIS from my previous life, my luck, on the other hand, is actually worse than a normal snake... System what's different about my regional variant compared to others?
The Robotic voice speaks up again as the screen changes from my status to a description of the Talonian Sea Snake.
"A Sea Snake native to the continent of Talonia. As Talonian Sea Snake if the coldest climate one can find any sea snake in, as a result, they are adapted for colder environments with scales that can absorb more heat from the sun. Talonian Sea Snakes are the only sea snakes to lay eggs on land. They are also the only sea snakes to have corrosive venom as well as the ability to spit said venom up to 1 metre away."
So I'm well suited to attacks with my venom, the system really did put me into a body well suited to me. The use of venom was one of my favourite killing methods after all. But moving on lets take a look at the things that really interest me, mutations and evolutions. Going back to the status screen, I begin to focus on Mutations and shortly after the screen changes.
"Mutations are an ability unique to Elite Monsters. After consuming a sufficient amount of biomatter, an Elite Monster can mutate their physical form in various ways. The potential mutations available to the Talonian Sea Snake are: Enhanced Size, Spiked Tail, Enhanced Lungs, Superior Eyes, Gills. Your current state can not sustain any mutations, please hatch from your egg to view biomatter requirements."
They all seem to have their uses but I wonder if there is a limit to how many I can have? I suppose I'll find out once I break out of this egg but I should look into what exactly this evolution is and check my potential evolutions.
"All monster species can evolve after a certain amount of biomatter is consumed. Most Evolutions are streamlined from the infant phase to the adult phase. There exist special evolutions that can change a monsters species, these can be unlocked under special circumstances. Note that if an Elite Monster changes its species it will lose incompatible mutations it has undergone."
So this world's evolution if different from the concept I am familiar with. Seems more in line with umm what was it called again, Pogimon? Probably something like that. So how about the potential evolutions I've got.
"Potential Evolutions are: Juvenile Talonian Sea Snake, Hatchling Pale Snake, Infant Sea Serpent, Young Sea Drake, ???."
The Juvenile evolution is straightforward, just the natural progression of my current species. But that path seems to be set and limited in growth compared to the special evolutions. what are the other paths available?
"The Pale Snake is a long extinct species that could traverse both land and ocean environments. Also called the Silent Death, due to its unusually small size and the lack of noise when striking its prey. Was known for its aggressive behaviour and extremely potent venom. Driven to extinction by the humanoid races in the past era. Follows the Hatchling>Juvenile>Adolescent>Adult evolutionary path and cannot evolve further. Available due to actions from your previous life. Unlock requirements: 50kg of biomatter consumed, kill 100 of your own species, kill 100 of other snake species, kill 100 of any other species."
Seems this is a special evolution I have because I was a famed killer before. Since my goal will most likely put me into conflict with many people I don't mind being a species so hated that I would actively get hunted, the Pale Snake doesn't seem to be very durable. I can't assume that venom alone even a super potent one like what the Pale Snake has will work well on deities. Can't just be a one trick pony and expect to come out on top against those Him after all. This doesn't even take into account the limited growth options. How about the Sea Serpent?
"The Sea Serpent is an aquatic monster; when young they are often confused for a sea snake, although they do share a common ancestor. They are far larger than sea snakes at all stages of evolution. They give birth to live young, unlike sea snakes that lay eggs. The Sea Serpents dwell in the middle layer of the ocean compared to the sea snakes which inhabit the shallows. They are known for being territorial, as Adults, they tend to use their large bodies to wrap around any ship the sails through their territory. Follows the Infant>Adolescent>Adult evolutionary path, further evolution is locked upon reaching the Adult phase. Available do relation between sea snakes and previous life title. Unlock requirements: 1500kg of biomatter consumed, be an Elite Sea Snake with the Massive Size mutation (upgrade of Enhanced Size), be an Elite Sea Snake with the Enhanced Size mutation. Note, both mutation requirements cleared due to the previous life's title, The Serpent Killer."
This doesn't seem too bad and its growth isn't restrictive like the snake lines, so long as I don't evolve into an Adult. But it completely restricted to the ocean. If not for that one demerit I would have seriously considered this. One should never underestimate a size advantage after all. Doing so nearly cost me my life once. So System, how about that Sea Drake?
"The Sea Drake is an aquatic monster and the ancestor of sea snakes and serpents. They carry the venom of the sea snakes and the size of the sea serpents. Few in number and only found in the near depths of the ocean. They are known for their solitary nature and ferocious battle capabilities. While not as strong as the monster who live at the very depths of the ocean the Sea Drake is still a beast most people will stay clear of. Follows the Young>Adult evolutionary path, further sea evolutions past the Adult phase are restricted to ??? but can potentially evolve into a land dwelling monster. Available due to having both the Sea Serpent and any Snake evolutionary path unlocked. Unlock requirements: 2500kg of biomatter consumed, be an Elite Sea Snake or Serpent with Enhanced Size or Massive Size, and Superior Eyes mutations."
Damn, that looks nice, I'm almost definitely going to try for this one. The Sea Drake has the Size and power advantages of the Sea Serpent while also having the Venom of the Sea Snake. But the only question remaining is the option that's unknown, it also showed up in the Sea Drakes description.
"The ??? is a unique evolution available to all descendants of Spirit Dragons that haven't had their evolution path locked by Adulthood unless stated otherwise. More information will become available as the Unlock requirements are fulfilled. Unlock requirements: 1,000,000kg of biomatter consumed, current species is of Spirit Dragon descent (completed), at least 20% of the required biomatter consumed is of plant matter, at least 20% of the required biomatter consumed is of aquatic life, at least 20% of the required biomatter consumed is of terrestrial life, at least 20% of the required biomatter consumed is of sentient/intelligent life (this may overlap with terrestrial and aquatic life), must consume at least 20% worth of the total required biomatter in inorganic material, be an Elite Monster with the Gigantic Size mutation, be an Elite Monster with the Corrosive Stomach mutation, be an Elite Monster with the Growth Mutation, be an Elite Monster with the Deadly Venom mutation, be an Elite Monster with the Void Organs mutation, must be feared by at least 3 factions of sentient/intelligent life (1/3), there may exist only one ??? at a time if another currently exist it must be killed (completed), acquire any of the following titles: God Slayer, Deity, Scourge of Life, Immortal Slayer, World Eater. Due to having 2/15 requirements cleared the following information is now available; Species: Ouroboros, thought to be a direct descendant of the Spirit Dragon Progenitor, the Titan Leviathan. Considered to be one of the 4 heralds of the end of the world."
I've decided. This will be my end goal. Since it is available to all descendants of Spirit Dragons, I can freely evolve so long as I stay on this path I can eventually make more way to the Ouroboros. since one of the required titles is God Slayer it would mean that becoming an Ouroboros would be more than enough to take Him on. For my starting goals, I should focus on becoming an Adult Sea Drake and make my transition to land. Now that the plan as all laid out it's to break this egg, Lets boogie.

I, the great teacher and killer, Cordelia Auspin, have died. Died in a rather shocking way, literally. Lighting on a perfectly clear day. And now, before me is an annoying guy calling himself a god.

"Screw you, just bring me back to life or I'll kill you!"

"You truly are short-tempered. You are far too weak to even think about challenging me, but for what it's worth you are courageous for even trying. Well, off you go lass, a new world awaits you. I hope you can evolve and grow strong enough to challenge me again the next time we meet."

My vision shifts and I'm surrounded by darkness when from out of nowhere some kind of screen appears in my view.

"Welcome to the world of Grauntia, Miss Cordelia Auspin. Please take this quick survey to decide your place in Grauntia."

"... The hell is this?"


Join Cordelia in her journey to take down everyone that has, will, and might slight her while she struggles to survive in the new environment. Not even the gods themselves are safe from her wrath.

However, Tang Li Xue thought some crimson-robed guards were catching up to her, and it made her almost failed to notice a tiny hair-sized dark crimson snake like a thin needle flashed toward her Dantian.
'What the hell is that?!' Tang Li Xue thought in alarm as she moved her slender body and reflexively used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to dodge it. 
The speed of this tiny hair-sized dark crimson snake was lightning fast. 
When Tang Li Xue turned her body to the right side to dodge it, the tiny dark crimson snake also twisted its body and adjusted its flight angle!
It changed its course and chasing after Tang Li Xue's Dantian as if it was targeting something inside Tang Li Xue's Dantian!
It was too late for Tang Li Xue to dodge since the tiny hair-sized dark crimson snake was already so close to her, so she decided to face it head-on instead!
But before Tang Li Xue could use any of her battle skills or divine abilities, the Phoenix of Pride already swiftly flew out from her Dantian and collided head to head with the needle-sized dark crimson snake!
BBBOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
The violent collision between the two of them caused a big explosion. 
The extremely hot deep-blue flame was spreading everywhere, evaporated everything it touches into nothingness. 
The deep-blue flame could not hurt Tang Li Xue, but the powerful shockwave from their collision threw Tang Li Xue several meters backward.
Her slender body crashed onto the nearby building wall heavily like a cannonball, and the building wall collapsed in an instant.
Tang Li Xue did not have any spare time to check her injuries, and her [High-Speed Regeneration] could automatically heal her wounds over time anyway.
Tang Li Xue hastily equipped her [Critical Strikers] and [Shadow Striders].
Previously, Tang Li Xue decided to not use these two pieces of equipment since she was afraid that she would become dependent on it.
She never used it even once, not even under the intense training of Instructor Mei Lan and Teacher Bai Wuchen. 
She did not even use it when she was facing Mogui and his team since that sparring match was not a life-threatening battle.
But now it was different, she was facing a life or death battle!
In this kind of situation, she would never hesitate to go all out!
Tang Li Xue also took several different kinds of talisman from her space pouch and used it on herself!
[Talisman of Giant Strength +3]!
[Talisman of Lightning Speed +3]!
[Talisman of Iron Skin +3]!
Tang Li Xue also used her newly invented talisman to herself this time.
----------------------------------------------------------
[Talisman of Scorching Flame +3]
[ Effect: Fire Elemental Attack power +25%, Burning Ailment Effect +15%, Fire Elemental Area of Effect +10% for 10 minutes.]
[+1 Effect: Fire Elemental Attack power +15%, Burning Ailment Effect +10%, Fire Elemental Area of Effect +5%. Duration +5 minutes.]
[+2 Effect: Fire Elemental Attack power +25%, Burning Ailment Effect +15%, Fire Elemental Area of Effect +10%. Duration +10 minutes.]
[+3 Effect: Fire Elemental Attack power +35%, Burning Ailment Effect +20%, Fire Elemental Area of Effect +15%. Duration +15 minutes.]
----------------------------------------------------------
Different from Yaya which has her own divine abilities and level, the Phoenix of Pride's power was coming from Tang Li Xue.
The stronger Tang Li Xue was, the stronger her Phoenix of Pride would be!
That was the reason why she used this [Talisman of Scorching Flame +3] on herself and not on the Phoenix of Pride.
With this [Talisman of Scorching Flame +3], the Phoenix of Pride would get 100% increase in its attacking power, 60% increase in its burning effect, and 40% increase in its Area of Effect attack for 40 minutes!
 Tang Li Xue also activated her [Twin Moons] divine ability and summoned out her perfect copy without any hesitation.
After finished her preparation for battle, Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy used their [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] and dashed hastily toward where the Phoenix of Pride fought with the hair-sized dark crimson snake.
The situation did not look good for the Phoenix of Pride right now.
Previously, the Phoenix of Pride used its extremely hot deep-blue flame to attack the hair-sized dark crimson snake, and it created a big explosion upon their heavy collision.
But the hair-sized dark crimson snake clearly did not afraid of the Phoenix of Pride's flame!
The big explosion even failed to injure the hair-sized dark crimson snake since it could alternate between three forms: solid form, liquid form, and gas form.
The hair-sized dark crimson snake momentarily turned itself into the gas form, and it turned into blood-colored fog, which the main reason why the big explosion failed to hurt it.
After the explosion, the dark crimson snake changed its form once again from the blood-colored fog into a bigger snake and coiled around the Phoenix of Pride's flame body!
Yes, not only the dark crimson snake could change into three forms, it could even change its body size!
But the change of its body size did not affect its speed and power at all! 
Its movement still remained lightning fast, and its strength was also very powerful! 
In short, this dark crimson snake's overall strength was not inferior at all compared with the Blood Flood Dragon created by the black-masked old man, but it certainly could move a lot faster than that Blood Flood Dragon!
The Phoenix of Pride who was currently entangled by the dark crimson snake could not even break free from it after struggling for a few moments!
Sssshhhh~~!!!
The dark crimson snake hissed toward the Phoenix of Pride's face. It even greedily licked its lips as if it wanted to eat the most delicious delicacy.
Thankfully, Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy arrived in time.
Both Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy waved their hand and sent two [Moon Splitters] toward the dark crimson snake.
Two sharp cross-shaped silver lights carefully slashed the dark crimson snake's body without touching the Phoenix of Pride.
The two [Moon Splitters] easily slashed the dark crimson snake's body, but the two [Moon Splitters] failed to cut the dark crimson snake's body!
The feeling Tang Li Xue got was like cutting the water.
She managed to cut it, but that did not mean it did be cut into two or three parts after being cut.
'What a troublesome opponent!' Tang Li Xue thought as she frowned deeply.
This was the first time Tang Li Xue facing the elemental spirit, and she did not even have any clue on how to defeat it.
'Sigh ... I should have studied more diligently while I am at the Myriad Foxes Academy before...' Tang Li Xue sighed in frustration.
It was already too late for her to regret it now, but she decided to read more books about the elemental spirit in the education department's library after she went back to Myriad Foxes Academy later.
The dark crimson snake did not even bother to glance at Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy and opened its mouth widely instead!
It seemed the dark crimson snake planned to swallow the Phoenix of Pride whole in one big gulp!
Of course, Tang Li Xue would never let that happen!
She and her perfect copy immediately held the dark crimson snake's head together.
The [Sun Dragon King's Pearl] already accelerated the Phoenix of Pride's growth by a lot. 
It already grew bigger than the palm-size and already almost reached the arm-size right now.
However, the dark crimson snake adjusted its size to ensnare the Phoenix of Pride with its body.
With the dark crimson snake's current size, Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy could hold the dark crimson snake's perfectly in their grasp.
Unfortunately, their current strength was far from enough to stop the dark crimson snake's movement.
With one single flick of its slippery body, Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy were thrown a few meters away.
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy never thought that this dark crimson snake's strength was so powerful despite its small size.
After flinging Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy away, the dark crimson snake opened its wide mouth once again.
"Damn it! That snake is strong!" Tang Li Xue groaned in frustration.
[Blood Ignition] - Quadruple Amplification… Active!
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy activated the divine ability they copied from Hei Yinghao at the same time.
Both of them moved so swiftly and held the dark crimson snake again.
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy gritted their teeth and used all of their strength to pull the dark crimson snake away from the Phoenix of Pride.
But the dark crimson snake did not budge even one bit even after Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy used their entire strength. It only felt even more annoyed by the action of Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy.
Tang Li Xue's mind spun faster, trying to think of a way to release the Phoenix of Pride out of this sinister snake's grasp.
Suddenly, the head of the dark crimson snake magnified by tens of times in an instant!
Shhhhaaaaaaaa~~!!!
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy did not have any time to react when the dark crimson snake's head pounced at them all of a sudden.
They could not use their [Ethereal Form] under the effect of the blood barrier. 
The dark crimson snake's head movement was too fast for their [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to dodge, and they also stood so near with the dark crimson snake until they could feel its slippery skin in their grasp.
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy could only activate their defensive divine ability, the [Golden Body] to defend themselves.


Reincarnated as a fox by mistake, Tang Li Xue got a system that can help her evolve and reach Deity hood as her compensation. 

In the vast immortal world full of powerful cultivators, demonic beasts, and mysterious spirits, how could Tang Li Xue survive as a fox?

Akasha's Snake (8)




"Just a little more... Just a little...!"

In a place where the monster outbreak had swept over, where the forest and the earth had all turned to ruins, there was a player moving his tattered body with unsteady steps. It was Bain.

"Just a little more..."

Clutching onto his shoulder with his one remaining arm, Bain struggled to move forward. He was filled with a burning desire to complete his mission.

He had managed to survive the assault of the Goblin King, pretending to be dead and waiting until the monster outbreak passed by.

He once thought of giving up on the mission and heading back to their base. That was how hard the monster outbreak had struck him.

Team 1, Arangdan's most prized group of players, had evaporated in a moment, leaving no trace behind. And the aura of the Goblin King had been so ferocious that he hadn't been able to do anything but stay frozen in his spot.

Nevertheless, he chose to pursue his mission till the end with only one thought in his mind.

'The monsters must be heading towards where Cain is. He must be up to something.'

As far as he knew, the monster outbreak was an event that had never happened in the entire history of the tutorial. And that meant there was definitely a player behind this whole event.

Bain intuitively knew that it had something to do with his target, Cain. Of course, he didn't have any evidence to prove it, but he was a player that Arangdan constantly kept tabs on. He thought It was a reasonable suspicion that he was the cause of this mess.

'It's definitely a hidden piece, the biggest one, unparalleled to other ones in the entire tutorial...!'

Whatever Cain was up to did not matter. Bain was planning on ambushing him the moment he acquired the hidden piece.

He speculated there was a good chance of winning if his plan worked.

And adding the rewards for completing his mission, he could still chase after Phante and Edora.

'Just you wait, Cain!'

The light of greed was glittering in Bain's eyes.


*   *   *


It was when the war was reaching its climax when the Goblin King and the Orc King realized things were getting weird.

*Rumble*

With their innate keen senses, both of the kings had already noticed that at some point the ground started to shake weakly.

However, they both knew that their life could be very well forfeited were they to look away for even just a moment, therefore none of them opened their mouth.

And that carelessness brought about great disaster.

*Rumble*

The ground started to sink right in the middle of the battlefield and,

*Kwang*

Something suddenly shot up from the ground.

It was a giant snake.

With its ferocious jaws agape, the snake already had three or four monsters in its mouth. The nearly 10-meter-tall mass towered over the monsters, creating an enormous pressure.

"Wha, what kind of monster...! It's horrible!"

"Chwik! Why is our god here!"

And the moment the monsters looked up at Akasha's Snake in confusion,

*Stomp*

Akasha's Snake swallowed the monsters in its mouth in one gulp, and jerked its head looking down on the monsters.

There was food all over the place right before its eyes. For it, this place was nothing more than an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Kaaah!

Akasha's Snake soon buried its head in the nearest group of Kobolds.

No monster was able to react to its fast movement. As a result, the Kobold King, who had been standing in the vanguard and courageously leading his race suddenly disappeared into the snake's belly.

"O, our king!"

"Our king is dead! We have to avenge him!"

The army of Kobolds rushed towards Akasha's Snake, eyes burning with rage. They could never let the enemy who killed the king get away.

But their attacks couldn't leave even a scratch in its scales. Their axes broke bouncing off into the air, and the arrows only slipped against the scales.

Akasha's Snake, on the other hand, flapped its tail as if it found it to be annoying, and dozens of Kobolds were blasted away covered in blood.

Much to their dismay, their death only resulted in more life energy for the snake to fill its stomach and grow its size. And when they realized that, Akasha's Snake had already grown much bigger. As its size grew, so too did its ferocity.

Regardless of their race, the monsters couldn't help but drop their jaws. Its aura was so overwhelming it made them stand paralyzed.

A monster that steals life from dead monsters? None of them had ever heard of such a thing.

In all their lifetime, nothing stood above them in the forest. They were at the apex of the food chain. But here, they were faced against a new predator for the first time.

The fear of facing a predator was so alien to them. They hadn't thought of what to do when such fear became reality.

And eventually,

*Kwakwang*

It gave birth to a disaster.

"R, run!"

"This is god's retribution! Chwik! We have to run away, chwiiik!"

The monsters began to escape from the battlefield in order to run from Akasha's Snake.

Some brave ones gathered up and tried to fight against the snake. But no matter what choices they made, they all came to the same end.

Being prey.

For those who ran away, the snake snatched them up and swallowed them. For those who fought back, it crushed them with its massive body and again, swallowed them. One way or another, all the monsters were going to end up being inside of the snake's belly.

The more the monsters died, the bigger Akasha's Snake became. As the time went by, Akasha's Snake rampage became more and more overwhelming.

The scene was a complete pandemonium. It seemed like the gates of hell had opened up in here.

Even if they wanted to run away, with tens of thousands of them tangled together in this battlefield, it was near impossible.

"Damn it!"

Not being able to hold himself back, the Goblin King pushed away the Orc King and turned towards Akasha's Snake.

"Kranum! Where are you going, chwik! This is a duel of warriors, you must finish!"

"Shut up, Farak! I care about the safety of our race more than mere honor!"

The Goblin King left the Orc King behind and darted forward towards the other monsters.

The Orc King frowned as he stared at the back of the Goblin King.

He and the Goblin King were the top warriors who had been each guarding the east and west sides of the forest.

Of course, he had been waiting for an opportunity to break the tie between them. So, there he was, thinking that today was finally the day. But as it turned out, it wasn't.

However before the Goblin King left, he left the words saying that the safety of his race was more important than honor. And although he was an enemy, those words had dug deep down into his heart.

Eventually, the Orc King shouted out.

"Orcs, Listen! We will also fight back against our god! Chwik!"

He couldn't bear to tell them to kill their god. But since their god could be resurrected, he ordered them to attack.

Overflowing with fighting spirit, all the monsters united under the two kings' leadership. Their enemy was now Akasha's Snake.

But Akasha's Snake had almost already recovered its original size.

The snake inflated its head. These impudent little creatures were launching their puny attacks on it. They needed to be punished.

Akasha's Snake opened its jaws wide and sprayed its venomous saliva all over the monsters. 

The monsters in the front were swept away by the deadly poison. Those who were drenched in the saliva melted away in an instant, and the monsters sprinkled with even small bits of saliva screamed in pain.

Just then, the Goblin King jumped above the head of the snake.

"Die!"

The Goblin King lifted his halberd up high and swung it down onto the head of Akasha's Snake.

Kaaah!

Akasha's Snake cried out in pain as it struggled to make him fall, but the Goblin King pushed his halberd deeper in.

In the meantime, from the ground, the Orc King slashed deep into the snake's body with his sword.

*Splash*

Blood splattered out from the wound.

Akasha's Snake opened its mouth again getting ready for another shower of poisonous saliva. And this time, it was aiming for the two kings.


*    *    *


'What a mess.'

Yeon-woo clicked his tongue as he looked at the chaotic battlefield.

Provoking all the monsters in Section E, he did expect the effect to be great but,

'This is far worse than I expected.'

There was only a tenth of monsters left fighting Akasha's Snake. As a result, Akasha's snake was now 1.5 times bigger than its original size.

Its body was as grand as a great mountain and was as long as a river. It seemed almost impossible to kill such horrific monster.

There were still two monster kings pouring out their attacks on Akasha's Snake, and some other monsters steadily damaging the snake with what little power they had.

Well?

'It won't last long.'

It was very obvious.

The Goblin King and the Orc King, they both were as strong as Taragan, but it seemed they were running out of energy.

They were desperately trying for the sake of their races, but their health wasn't infinite.

The Goblin King had already lost an arm, and had half of his face melted by the venomous saliva, making Yeon-woo wonder if he could see properly with his eyes.

The Orc King was in much worse shape. As he had been hit by the snake's tail, his whole body was full of bruises. Several parts of his body were swollen up, he had fractures all the way from ribs to the end of his spine.

They were holding out due to being the kings of their races, but they were on the verge of collapse.

And,

The same was true for Akasha's Snake.

'It's because it ate too much food. You should have known that overeating is bad.'

Not a long time had passed since Akasha's Snake resurrection ceremony. With its unstable body, the snake put tons of monsters into its belly, and now had a size much larger than it had prior to its death. He doubted its body could handle it.

Although Akasha's Snake was half spiritual energy, the other half was still in the material world. This meant that it needed some time to digest and absorb the nutrients of the food it had eaten. But Akasha's Snake took too much life energy at once skipping such process. It would be strange if it didn't get sick.

Nevertheless, its instincts drove its body and continued to prey on monsters. In addition, the two monster kings had been steadily chipping away the snake's health.

In the end, the monsters and Akasha's Snake, they were all dancing in the palm of Yeon-woo's hand.

And now was the time to wrap up the show.

Yeon-woo activated Mana Circuit, and brought it down to his feet.


['Mana Circuit' skill proficiency has increased. 0.7%]

['Shunpo' skill proficiency has increased. 12.4%]


*Kwang*

*Swish*

With the ground underneath his feet caving in, Yeon-woo sprang up in the air.

Above the head of Akasha's Snake, the place where the Orcs had pulled its brains out from, and where the wound left by the helbard of the Goblin King was, there now was Yeon-woo getting ready to unleash his attack.

"Devour."

He spread out his left hand and put it on the wound. Jaws full of saw teeth appeared from his hand and stuck into the snake's head.

Kaaah!

Akasha's Snake struggled in pain, feeling like its whole head was being pulled out. It twisted its tails sweeping away nearby monsters as its scream echoed around the forest.

The monsters were busy backing away from the sudden situation.

But despite its struggle, Yeon-woo clung to its head and pushed his hand deeper into the snake's head.

'Bathory's Vampiric Sword won't be enough to kill it. I'll have to do something else!'

Fortunately, Yeon-woo was already aware of the biggest weakness of Akasha's Snake.

The brain.

It was the part where its soul was contained.

Kaaaah!

The brain was sucked into the serrated jaws. Yeon-woo didn't let go of his hand until the brain had completely disappeared.

After catching such a big prey, countless messages continued to pop up, filling his retina.

At some point, he felt something 'weighty' being absorbed through his hand.

A soul.

Or an essence.

It was the source of Akasha's Snake.

And it was then when the light completely disappeared from its eyes.

*Kung*

The snake's massive head collapsed helplessly onto the floor.

Being one of the hardest quests in the tutorial, Akasha's Snake provided the largest amount of Karma ever given through a quest. It was enough to raise a few ranks.

Killing the snake also counted as clearing the Sudden Quest.

Plus Akasha's Snake was the ultimate goal of the tutorial that Yeon-woo had in his mind even before entering this world. And that goal had finally been achieved after many complications.

Yeon-woo, however, drew Carshina's Dagger with a blunt expression. 

He could appreciate his victory now, but he was going to wait until the end of the tutorial.

*Shlickt*

As he sliced under the snake's head, a golden orb about the size of a human head rolled out from the cut. It was the Akasha's Snake's Neidan.

The original Neidan was said to be the size of a fist, but it seemed to have expanded to its current size due to overeating.

*Grin*

Yeon-woo gave a content smile.

"Devour."

And he pushed the orb into Bathory's Vampiric Sword that was still screaming from hunger.

Synopsis:
Yeon-woo had a twin brother who disappeared five years ago. One day, a pocket watch left by his brother returned to his possession. Inside, he found a hidden diary in which was recorded "By the time you hear this, I guess I will be already dead…."


Obelisk, the Tower of the Sun God, a world where several universes and dimensions intersect. In this world, his brother had fallen victim to betrayal while climbing up the tower. After learning the truth, Yeon-woo decided to climb the tower along with his brother's diary.


"From now on, I am Jeong-woo Cha."

Caizher went to his own wooden room and stared at the snake on his shoulder. The snake made a slight hissing sound and rubbed its face towards Caizher
The man didn't know why but he actually thought of the little black snake as cute and he played with its 'chin' for a while. Although he already saw it before, Caizher is still shocked that the snake is really alive and it seems like it has some intelligence
Just like what the little girl said, Caizher fed dark energies on it through the tip of his finger. The girl didn't lie and information really transmitted on his mind
The snake is one of the creatures of darkness, specifically the dark eater. High leveled dark eaters rivaled the royal demons in powers
The level of corruption although not always, but can still determine the power of an individual. For example, a low leveled Demon like Shaina
Although she's the lowest kind of demon, a low-level Demon is still a demon. Their level of corruption can already be considered high comparing to the others
However, Shaina, just like the other humans, was also just starting to get used to using mana. Her memories and her transformed body came from her previous human life making it so that she's really not that adept at using all her powers
Thus, although she has more power in her body, she still cannot use it all. She has a higher level of corruption but those skillful at mana usage but has low corruption level can still defeat her
Dark Eaters are also mostly above average. They can eat anything related to darkness and in return, they can raise their corruption level easier than the others
However, if they don't have enough resources, they would grow weak. They need to eat high leveled items of darkness if they want to grow to their fullest potential
Most high-ranking demons or even other creatures that have a high level of corruption if caught a baby Dark Eater will want to keep it as their best companion. Demons have a lot essence of darkness and they can spare some to raise dark eaters
Caizher can't believe that the little girl managed to make a lifeform and even give it to him as if it was just random cabbages
Caizher can see how happy the snake is after being fed using dark energies and its body slowly grew in size. But after Caizher finished feeding it, the snake returned back to its normal six inches size
Suddenly, another stream of information was transmitted to Caizher's mind. This time, it came from the archive of information that the black eye gave to him
It gave him instructions on how to make a life pact on the snake. Caizher did what the instructions told him to do and a small piece of darkness went to the forehead of the little snake
The snake didn't resist and let the piece of darkness enter its forehead. A symbol of two upside-down triangles formed on the snake's forehead before vanishing
It gave Caizher some sort of connection to the snake as if he can sense where it was every time he wants to. Fortunately, as long as the target didn't resist, the life pact will work and it doesn't need any practice if the target is willing. Thus, Caizher succeeded on his first try
The stream of information also taught Caizher how to maximize the power and potential of this little dark eater which simply amaze him
Caizher tried one of them and gave a mental command to the snake. The snake then entered his physical body and easily bypassed the barrier between the physical world and the consciousness world
Caizher entered his spiritual sea and saw the snake swimming around happily. It wasn't really happy as it can swim but more like happy at the abundant dark energies around it
The snake happily ate some of the dark energies and its size grew once more. But it seems like the snake likes its former size and when it stopped, its size returned back to its original size
As if the snake was stuffed with food, it curled its body and entered a deep sleep
Caizher can only shake his head while watching the snake who was 'leeching' on him. But he knew what great assistance it would give to him if the snake was nourished well
---
May 31 Year 2021
A week has passed since the incident with Bruce and the little girl. With the Myriad Runes Worm, Caizher had more time for himself. He started focusing more on making himself stronger and lessen the time on his [Monarch of Dark Creatures]
With the worm constantly supplying Caizher with troops, Caizher can take it easy now. There was also another giant worm on his base now that he planned to make as another Myriad Runes Worm to increase production
Caizher's parents also have clear minds now. To his delight, those two can still use their powers when they were still fallens. Adith can turn her eyes into those butterfly-like colorful ones. While Fran can still use his beast style which was also a powerful ability
Caizher is currently inside the Dungeon but he was just close to the entrance and he doesn't encounter any monsters. The little snake significantly grew in size and is now a meter long snake
As the dark eater is still in the infancy stage, it was still very weak and Caizher needs to train it first
The snake's body was glowing with a dark light and it shot its body like an arrow towards a tree. A hole appeared on the three but the snake didn't stop and continued on the trees just behind it
The little snake managed to penetrate three whole trees before running of gas. It was already not bad. Trees on earth in the previous era are already hard and one needed tools to cut one. While the trees inside the dungeon are even harder, it was already surprising that a week old dark eater can do this
Naturally, this was credited to Caizher regularly feeding it with dark energies. This snake would surely grow into a powerful being in the future
Dark eater's potential depends heavily on their food. And since the pure essence of darkness was its diet, then can how can it grow weak?
The little snake went back to Caizher as if it was waiting for praise and Caizher patted its head. "Try long-range attacks this time" Caizher said and the snake understood it
The snake's mind was simple but it can already be compared to humans albeit it can't really talk. But even without the mental connection, the snake can easily understand Caizher's words
The snake gathered mana on its tail. As it was just a week old, its mana control was still very weak. Even weaker than the humans and mutated animals
Just like the others, its mana started out as a pure one without any attribute. It takes a longer time for it to change the nature of its mana
After a few seconds, the blue light turned into a dark one and it slashed its tail in the air. A dark arc of light was made by the snake and it left a deep mark on one of the trees
The snake is still not that great at long-range attacks and was not even able to cut a tree in half. But for a 1 week old it was already astonishing
However, it seems like not being able to cut the tree hurt the snake's pride and it charge mana on its tail again. This time, Caizher can feel more mana being controlled by the snake
The snake hissed and whipped its tail in the air for the second time. The same arc of black light was made but it packed more power than the first one
The arc hits another tree and make a deep cut on it. Because of how deep it was, the tree's body fell on the ground causing a loud sound and dust to rise in the air
The snake's head dropped sadly. Although the tree fell down, but it was only because the cut on it was very deep. The snake still wasn't able to cut it in half
Caizher patted the snake's head to comfort it. "Don't worry, you're still young. You'll become more powerful in the future" Caizher comforted and a small stream of dark energies came out from the tip of his finger that the snake happily ate
"With me as your master, how can you not be strong?" Dark Eater's potential is based on what they eats and Caizher can give the snake the highest form of food that any dark eater can have!
"Alright, train your skills on your own for now. Master will train by himself too" Caizher said a gave the snake one more pat on its head
The snake then went on to another area determine to cut a tree in half using its tail attack
Caizher stared at the shadows that the trees formed on the ground and his eyes flashed with a dark light. Dark mana coated his right palm and Caizher slammed it on the ground
The shadows of one of the trees moved but Caizher is not satisfied with that. He tried controlling the shadows of another tree a bit farther and combine them
The shadows of the other tree flickered and inched closer to the first's tree shadow before the mana on Caizher's palm vanished and he failed again
The skill that Caizher has the lowest mastery is the shadow kill. From the name of it, the shadow kill is a skill used to kill enemies. However, even until now, Caizher can only use the shadow kill to wound enemies to activate his paralysis curse
The way he used it before was an insult to its name but he doesn't have a choice. Caizher can't still make it powerful enough to kill his enemies
Caizher's eyes flashed with determination and take back his palm. "Again!" Caizher shouted and dark mana once again coated his palm and he touched the ground with it
The shadows of that same first tree moved and Caizher has control over it now but the control is still wasn't powerful enough! Caizher also tried controlling the shadows of the other tree to merge with the first once but he was met with another failure
Caizher can use his shadow kill before in multiple enemies but he controlled individual shadows. Those shadows will attack their very source but what Caizher is doing is different
He was trying to merge those shadows into a single entity and use it to kill. But it was harder than it sounds. If the distance is just close, then Caizher can easily merge them
However, if the distance is a bit far, his control and mana won't last long enough to merge the shadows. It was not a problem that can be solved just by pouring more mana
Caizher can only use an appropriate amount that he can control or else even just the simplest shadow kill he can use will fail. It was hard to raise the shadow kill's power as it required a huge amount of mana and the ability to control it
Thus, Caizher decided to train like this. If he can fuse two shadows that are a bit far from each other then its power would be greater. With more power, the easier it would be to use this skill to kill enemies
It was training that will greatly improve his shadow kill while also benefiting the other skills! What Caizher lacked the most is time as he has too many things to train
That is why he needed mana control training as it will give improvement to all the things that he can do. Most of the things he practiced used mana as fuel after all
Caizher was met with failure and failure but he didn't get discouraged. He knew that in time and with a lot of hard work, there would come a time that he will succeed. He only needs to be patient and focused on his training
The little snake was also the snake and forgot the passing on time to train and train. The two looked like a pair of madmen that only thinks about their training and ignored other things in the world

The seal on earth preventing mana to exist on it was destroyed by a gigantic finger. It caused mana to flood the world and those who failed to adapt turned into mindless killing monsters known as 'fallens'

The humans were overwhelmed by threats everywhere but soon discovered the mystical effect of the doors that appeared at the start of the apocalypse. The doors have the ability to repel fallens from coming in a certain range

A year passed and heroes rose from the masses. The humans slowly learned how to wield mana thanks to the protection given by the doors

However, after a year, what they thought of protection turned into their nightmare. The locked doors opened and stream of monsters flooded out from it

As the humans built their bases centered to these doors, the sudden turn of event caught them off guard and killed a lot of them

Caizher, a twenty-year-old man discovered a door different than others. The other doors are white in color but this one is black. There are also some fallens that approached it

Instead of fearing the dangerous door, Caizher settled down near the door. As for the reason? To satiate his bloodlust and fight the fallens that approached the door

But to his luck, when the door opened, it swallowed him. Caizher entered a world of darkness. An eye he was familiar with appeared and disintegrated his body

However, instead of killing him, the eye took away his humanity and turned him into a lump of darkness

What he thought of as his death turned into a blessing. He might not be a human anymore but he doesn't care. His darkness body is superior to all!

Watch him become the strongest using the 'Primordial Darkness Heretic Art' that the eye left him

----

The world setting is similar to modern day earth but also a bit different

The time of the first year will be a bit fast and will only slow down after the doors opened

Thank you!!

Logically, the electric eel could easily electrocute a three-meter-long spotted sea snake to death. However, Chen Fan did not dare to release any current, simply because his own body was sunbathing on the water above! If Chen Fan accidentally electrocuted his own body while killing the snake, he would probably be so angry that he would end up killing all the snakes in the ocean.
　　
Since the aggressive method of releasing discharge couldn't be used, the electric eel could only go after the sea snake like an elephant chasing a mouse. The sea snake which was holding the white crystal in its mouth had probably discovered that there was an ancestor-like sea creature chasing it from behind. The speed at which its body was moving was sure to make marine biologists take out their magnifying glasses to review this species again to see if it was evolving to be like a rattlesnake. Otherwise, how could it move at such a high rate of speed?
Although the sea snake was fast, the electric eel was even faster. Now that it had grown to 60 meters long, the electric eel could definitely defeat 99 percent of the swimming champions in the ocean and trample them. Chen Fan's eyes were about to pop out when he saw the sea snake move its body toward a huge reef structure lying quietly underwater. The snake slipped right into it.
Two meters… the electric eel was just two meters short of biting that obnoxious fellow in half. It was too late. The sea snake wormed its way into a bucket-size hole before disappearing.
"Ah!" Chen Fan almost exploded. It was hard to describe how Chen Fan felt at that moment. It was like a lion who had already gotten onto the back of a lioness but an idiot suddenly appeared and bit off his dick. What an extremely complex feeling!　　
The electric eel took in two deep breaths to calm itself down. A mouse is still a mouse no matter how cunning it is. Faced with absolute force and high wisdom, it would never be able to play any tricks no matter how hard it tried.
　　　　　　
After the eel went around the reef twice without being able to see any other exit, it opened its mouth at the hole and released a weak discharge to find its way and also to force the sea snake out. To Chen Fan's dismay, the hole inside the truck-size reef extended to more than two meters down. The spotted sea snake was curled up inside, coiled on the crystal and gnawing it with its fine teeth. 
However, no marks were being made on the orange-size crystal. It might be because the sea snake's teeth were not sharp enough, or it did not use much strength. After some thought, Chen Fan decided to take his own body back to the beach first. After all, there were too many dangerous situations on the water. What if he got bitten by a shark?
After shifting his thoughts back onto his own body, Chen Fan swam to the beach and laid on it before diverting his thoughts again. However, Chen Fan discovered something very strange when his thoughts went to the electric eel. All the surrounding fish, big and small, be it sharks, sea snakes or squids, came close to the electric eel and tried hard to get into the hole, totally ignoring the huge electric eel.
　　　　　　
What's going on? Chen Fan was puzzled. Don't tell me the white crystal is some elixir left behind by the East Sea Dragons and that eating it will turn you into a dragon? Chen Fan shook his head and did away with this unrealistic thought. Although he did not believe in science, he was also not a believer of myths.
It was not uncommon for fish to gather and fight over an object. As the olfactory nerve of fish is very powerful and able to smell food from a distance away, many fishing enthusiasts like to use scented baits to gather fish. Even though Chen Fan couldn't guess what that piece of object was, it was probably the smell of it that attracted the fish.
The electric eel moved its body a few times to remind the fish that the treasure had been seized by it. Thereafter, Chen Fan slowly increased the discharge released by the eel to force the sea snake to come out. First it was 500 volts of discharge and 20 amperes of electric current, but the sea snake seemed to understand that it was heading for death if it went out, refusing to move even after being numbed by electricity. 
You sh*thead! Chen Fan cursed in his head and increased the discharge to 800 volts, to see how stubborn this sea snake was. Ten seconds later, tragedy happened. The sea snake shook wildly all over and then showed no signs of life after that. Oh my Holy Mary! Chen Fan almost cried out in tears when he saw the image in the eel's brain. How was an electric eel, four meters wide in diameter, able to go into the bucket-size hole?
　　　
With the death of the sea snake, the surrounding fish were also scattered off by the strong voltage. After looking at the reef and thinking for 10 seconds, Chen Fan controlled the eel to the front of the submarine and grabbed the three-ton meteor hammer, and got ready to do some "violent demolition work"!
After swimming to the side of the reef, Chen Fan sized it up before swinging the meteor hammer. Then he hit it onto the huge rock with the inertia produced from the electric eel's turning.
Thump! The entire seabed shook. Just how strong was a 60-meter long electric eel? The answer was revealed by looking at the rock. After the dust in the water had settled, an opening bigger than a water tank appeared on the huge rock. Chen Fan controlled the eel to the other side of the rock and hit it about 15 times. The huge rock was smashed into pieces, but the poor quality meteor hammer had lost its shape. The sharp edges on the surface were all gone, and only a bald uneven steel ball remained.
After putting down the meteor hammer, the electric eel dug with its four claws and finally cleaned up the rock, leaving only the black, bucket-size hole.
However, Chen Fan was troubled over the next step. He had not prepared by bringing a shovel or digging tool for the electric eel. After thinking for five seconds, Chen Fan had no choice but to let the electric eel stand in as a "claw-excavator"!
How big were the claws of the electric eel now? Each claw was around one meter in diameter. Other than having some gaps in between, it was as good as a small-size excavator. 　
Using all four claws together, and in less than two hours, Chen Fan dug two meters deep into the rock, and the surrounding area turned into a "construction zone" with a radius of 10 meters. After using electromagnetic induction to sense the location of the white crystal, Chen Fan swung the meteor hammer onto the rock again. Repeating this for more than ten times, the huge rock dug out by the electric eel was also smashed into pieces like the one above it. 
After waiting for a few minutes for the surrounding turbid water to settle, the eel quickly threw away the deformed meteor hammer and swept the broken rocks to the sides before finding the white crystal below the mashed sea snake. 　
At that moment, the countless fishes which were hovering around charged toward the claw of the electric eel as if they were on steroids, disregarding their own safety. Chen Fan did not dare to get the eel to release electric current to kill the fish as he was worried that it might damage the crystal. The electric eel gave a sinister smile before swallowing the white crystal. After that, it stared straight at the fish and gave them a "what can you do to me" brazen attitude!
　


Because of an accident, Chen Fan obtained the power to possess an electric eel!
Of course, being an ambitious guy, Chen Fan just HAD to explore his Electric Eel Avatar thoroughly!
Captains, are the Somali pirates still giving you a headache? Come and hire me online, and I will guarantee that your ship will be even safer than protected by an American aircraft carrier!

I open my eyes and the only thing that greets me is the darkness and a feeling of floating in a liquid. The time flies by and I begin to feel my body grow and taking on a more defined form. Sometime later I can feel the finished form of my body which is clearly not human, its more like that of a cat pared with a lizard. Now I begin to feel like the air is running low so I begin to struggle and hammer, scratch and ram against the walls that hold me in. A crack, and then blinding light.

I push my head trough the opening that I managed to create and take a deep breath of the fresh air in my lungs. Then I take a look around and the best thing that would describe my location would be ,,A laboratory,,.

After a short moment of confusion and shock I begin to free the rest of my body which is clothed in a combination of scales and fur. My legs/arms are agile and have rater long claws on them if you compare them to my body size. I also have a tail which is more of a tentacle than a tail because it doesn't have any bones but only muscles, also is it has some spike like things on it that are clinging flat to the tail but I know that I can unfold them if I want to. My head or snout has rows of sharp teethes and a long and flexible tongue in its mouth, a wet nose like a dog and big ears like a bat and cat combined. I dont know how my eyes look like but the are much better than a humans because I can see the dust particles and the vibration of the ground, but as if not enough I also see the heat of my surrounding. 

As Im already on it. I can see humanoid form of heat behind a mirror like wall. Most likely a one way window for the researcher to observe me.

like on command a little door opened and a row of bowl are being pushed out.

In the first of the right is a dead fish while in the second is a carrot, in the third is a uncooked steak and in the last is a salad.

They want to test what I eat. Good timing I can feel my body needing food to strength its structures like the bones, muscles, scales and fur.

Without wasting any more time I begin to eat without a care which bowl I take first because I know by instinct that I can eat any of these and it would only differ by its taste.

After finishing all the bowls I look at the humanoid heat signature and see how it write something down on a clip board if had to guess. Then it looked up and pushed most likely some buttons on the control panel to which in respond a new door opens and reveals a snake.

The snake slithers out of the door and made its way to me.

Taking the snake as a comparison I finally know how big I am. My size would be 40cm in length without the tail and 80cm with tail, my height is around 20-25cm if I dont  hold my head up.

The snake is now half a meter before me and is trying to intimidate me with its raised up head and opened mouth that hold two sharp fangs that after there look arent poisons.

I look at the snake and crouch deeper to the ground while tightening my leg muscles so that they are ready for a short burst of speed. At the same time I unfolded my spikes on my tail so that its ready for a deadly strike.

The snake slithers slowly closer and as soon it was only twenty centimeters away I dashed forward. With my claws I had a strong grip on the floor and was able to change my direction mid dash as the snake lungs at me from the front. As I pass the snake on the left I rammed my spiked tail in the face of the snake and killing it instantly.

The enemy is killed and it is time to get the reward. I stand over the dead snake and began to tear it apart and then devour it till not even a single scale is left of it.

Once again I look at the heat signature of the researcher which is starring at me as if waiting for something. I took it as a hint and began to concentrate on my body which has devoured the snake and realized that there is a new energy within my body. A energy that wants to strength and change my body but doesn't know what to strength or change.  

It looks like I can use this energy to strength or mutant my body to grow in power. With the confirmation of my instincts I willed the energy to upgrade my size because Im way to small right now to really have a chance to escape from here.

Instantly after I told the energy what I wanted I feel a burning sensation trough my whole body as if it is going to burst, I resist the burning and tearing with ease as I feet much worse before even tough Im not sure what it was. After around five minutes the pain stops and with it my bodies change.

My new size is around 60cm without tail and 140cm with tail, my height is 30-35cm without holding my head up. My fur and scales are now harder and my muscle mass is also bigger with the change in size.

A man that wakes up in the body of a freshly born monster in a laboratory and a ability to grow stronger trough eating his prey

In the darkness, Lu Shu sat on the stool, watching the Fallen Lizard be consumed by the divine water. During this process, the water was growing rapidly in size.
It was unknown how long the lizard had been trapped here, but the long time had blunted its powers. Otherwise, its defeat would not have been so easy.
The speed of erosion gradually slowed down, as if the Fallen Lizard had mustered all its remaining energy in resistance. Yet, at that instant, the corrosion accelerated again as the resistance faded!
"From the Fallen Lizard's distress, +1000!"
This time, Lu Shu could confirm that the lizard was dead. It proved that his rash decision to venture deep into the cavern was worth it, and his divine water did not let him down either.
If all his magical weapons could be as powerful as the divine water and the chaos snake, Lu Shu would jump in joy. Could he be considered as a lake-level expert now? Even a small lake could still be counted as a lake, couldn't it…
Suddenly, the chaos snake sprang into the divine water from Lu Shu's shoulder. Lu Shu looked at his snake with a pampering smile, as if it was his own son…
In the next instant, however, Lu Shu realized something was wrong and to his surprise, the chaos snake was sucking the divine water, fused with the black fog, into its mouth.
Despite its small build, the divine water was being siphoned into its tiny mouth at an incredible speed!
"Wait a minute!" Lu Shu jumped to his feet in astonishment. "What are you doing!"
He rushed forward to catch the snake, but the latter avoided him agilely in the water while continuing the siphoning…
In less than ten minutes, Lu Shu's divine water had shrunk back to the size of a swimming pool, and the snake showed no sign of stopping!
Lu Shu hurled his stool towards the snake, but it was soon corroded by the divine water too…
Lu Shu roared in desperation, "I just praised you! Why can't you take compliments? Don't you dare copy other holy artifacts! Can you please be more reliable?"
"Stop! Save some for me!"
"Hey! I said STOP!"
"Damn you…"
What about the lake-size divine water? What about setting up his stage wherever he was? That was so unexpected!
The chaos snake continued siphoning the water like a black hole. At this moment, Lu Shu noticed that the snake scales were getting clearer, and its fangs sharper.
In the next second, the snake suddenly grew in size, and a pair of horns emerged from its head.
It seemed that claws were breaking out of its skin too. The chaos snake was undergoing an internal transformation of its body!
Finally, there were no drops of the divine water left, but the chaos snake seemed to be in agony and unable to complete its transformation. Lu Shu gasped in shock.
Brother, don't die!
At this moment, a white figure flew out of the Cheng Ying sword in Lu Shu's grip. Hai Gongzi hovered midair, his gaze on the chaos snake cold as ice. "The blood of the evil dragon."
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. "Don't you dare attack it! Lay a finger on it and you are my enemy!"
In Lu Shu's opinion, Hai Gongzi, a pure-blood descendant of the dragons, would definitely despise the chaos snake, who had the so-called "blood of the evil dragon". Hence, he was genuinely worried if the life of his snake would be ended under Hai Gongzi's sword.
Yet, he was certain that the chaos snake was changing into a dragon!
What was a dragon? The most sacred creature in the ancient Chinese mythology. Be it a Panlong or an evil one, Lu Shu would be one of the most powerful practitioners in the world if he had a dragon.
In reality, Hai Gongzi did not draw his sword against what Lu Shu had expected. Instead, he picked a purple lotus petal from between his brows and let it float towards the snake.
Upon contact with the petal, Lu Shu could sense that the snake was finally freed from its struggle. Horns and four legs emerged from its skin, but there were only four talons on each leg.
Lu Shu was silent for a long moment. "So you helped it because you were getting impatient?"
Hai Gongzi cast Lu Shu a frosty stare.
"From Ao Hai's distress, +999!"
Lu Shu fought hard against his urge to laugh. My friend, your OCD is incurable…
"Speaking of which, in your world, aren't evil dragons bad? Why did you help it?" Lu Shu asked curiously.
"The internal matters of our Dragon Clan are none of your human beings' business. You call it bad? Is good and bad absolute in this world? Ignorant," Hai Gongzi taunted.
Then Lu Shu understood. The Dragon Clan was a rather close family, and even evil dragons were still dragons, just like distant relatives were still considered relatives…
"There are two types of Jiaolong[1]. After years of cultivation, they will develop into either evil spirits or dragons. If one chooses the latter, it will have to undergo a tougher journey. Hence, the majority opts for the former. Therefore, why shouldn't I help it, if it has the courage and was only one step away from completion?" Hai Gongzi said, followed by a sneer, "But, you…"
"Right, understood." Lu Shu summoned Hai Gongzi back into the sword before he could finish speaking. He had had enough of Hai Gongzi's arrogant face.
But Lu Shu could not understand why the transformation into a dragon was more difficult. Didn't his snake do so simply by siphoning his divine water?!
Now, it seemed inappropriate yet again to call it "the chaos snake", and "Chaos" would be a better name. Things were constantly changing and Lu Shu could never predict what was going to happen next. In order to save the trouble of renaming the snake, it would be better to dwell on an easier name… Lu Shu observed Chaos, whose snake skin was cracking bit by bit, and it had been fast asleep since the reception of the petal.
Lu Shu recalled Chaos to his Seal of Lands for its slow transformation, and he was ready to get out of the cavern.
Walking forward, Lu Shu eyed the remaining four golden pillars, wondering if they were magical weapons that could trap anyone he wanted to.
At this moment, Lu Shu heard thunder rumbling overhead. It was so loud that he could feel the thunder rolling over his heart.
All of a sudden, everyone on the ground saw a flash of purple, dragon-looking lightning, striking towards the surface. It was the most magnificent they had ever seen.
Chen Zuan mumbled after a moment of shock, "Don't tell me Brother Shu has been struck by lightning because of karma!"
