Chapter 18
Snake Report: Day Thirteen?
I have awoken to the familiar look of shed skin. Quite a lot of it. In my sleep it seems instinct took over just like all the other times I've leveled up.
Gotta shed that skin. Fact of Snake-life.
Still, strange as it sounds, I don't feel that large, and I haven't gotten much bigger. I still fit in the hollowed lair I created. At best guess, I cant be much larger in mass than the average snake you'd see in someone's garden. Maybe a bit smaller.
Weird, considering I have the title of [Leviathan]
Maybe I just need to eat more?
I might have killed half a cave full of monsters, but all I've eaten are glowing blue mushrooms.
Hmm...
Still: Lesson learned. Getting answers using [Knowledge magic] is apparently dangerous. Caution for the future strongly recommended.
It knocked me out. Clean out: Running low on magic in the world is apparently a swift K.O
From now on, I'll have to limit questions. One per day.
It's all well and good safe within a tiny-snake lair, but out in the open that could be deadly.
Still, today is the day that I emerge. With [Earth manipulation] I will part the stone and sprout from the earth like a bug emerging from the ashes of a forest fire: New life in the wreckage of the Tiny-Snake-God's Pyre.
Part snake, part periscope.
It is time to make my return to the world.
Hisssss...
Hmm.
It's very dark. Smells like burning... Nothing moves but the faintest trails of smoke.
Well, this makes sense, it is a cave after all. Or a Dungeon? [Voice of Gaia] definitely called this place a dungeon. There isn't going to be much natural light in a place like this.
Still, I remember I could always see before, even if it was dim.
Ah... Right.
I burned all the Mushrooms when the Spider bbq happened. They were what kept this place aglow.
Hissss... Well, somehow I can still see a little. It's dark, but it's not completely pitch black. Everything is scorched though, which probably isn't helping much.
There... I can make out the familiar land marks. The Arbitrary West... The Arbitrary East.
It is time to go east.
Slight detours aside, mission [Escape the cave] continues.

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.
