《Rat In The Dungeon》6. Feast
Advertisement
I love being a monster… I just don’t like the fact there are other monsters around. This space is definitely a dungeon.
I have literally seen a weird slime pop out of walls into existence around the exact spot I did. Maybe it’s a spawn point or something cannot really tell for sure but it would be crazy if they could spawn randomly at any place and this slime would spawn from the literal same place as me.
After I dissected the bad spider parts that I assume would kill me very quickly even after the spider is dead already to prepare for my feast… I have smelled something weird and when I checked it I noticed the slime.
The guy went straight ahead to the war brawl and I don’t think I will ever see him again. See ya my tunnel brother. Wish you only the best of luck. Anyways I have been around the lair about six hours after the knockers girl left.
I am starting to get very sleepy. Like insanely much and not even in the same way as I used to. It is also linked to the screams from inside my chest. I think that the reason might be I hit my current max level because I didn’t level up single time for killing the spider and I should evolve or something like that. The problem is I am scared to do it for multiple of reasons.
The fact that evolving Is good is super obvious but first I might completely ruin my progression if I do it wrong, second I have no freaking idea how long it will last. What if it takes like a day and then I would be evolving twenty plus hours unguarded. No just no. Just thinking about it scares me but there is also one extra thing what if I delete my own ego by doing so . It might be a small chance because I clung to it even after I died. However it is still possible.

Eh.. no point thinking about it that hard… I got hungry again and started feasting on the spider. This time it wasn’t so disgusting. It was weird taste but not so bad. Not even sure if I can compare it to something. Regardless it wasn’t bad and the feeling of belly being full is worth it.
It took me about a day to fully consume that entire spider. What a feast that was. Getting progressively more and more sleepy is really a pain in the ass and I hate it however I manage to push through with gluttony and hyper jumping around and weird squeaking… I mean singing obviously.
It is insane. I want to sleep so damn much. I just cannot afford to risk it.
Lets go explore. Yea nothing better to keep me awake than blindly risking my life around every corner. Genius idea.
So with that I decided that I will explore around the dungeon. Going through various tunnels that spread out like a web underneath the surface. I knew because somehow the maze like structure of the dungeon various tunnels and rooms felt really easy to remember and orient inside. Maybe I am getting really well acclimatized to my rat body? I vaguely remember they are quite good at going through complicated mazes.
Hours and hours felt like minutes. I was getting really sleepy but I preserved. Across the tunnels I met only few monsters. My best bet something is compelling them to just march into the death brawl. Only few smarter creatures were using the tunnels as their hunting grounds. Including me I guess. Not that I am hunting right now but I sure as hell will when I would.
Few insects marching into a death brawl, one owl, three spiders and their lairs camping in various places and one bear is the extent of what I met. Masterfully dodged all of them including the sneaky spider that tried to follow me after passing his lair.

I have finally been rewarded for my efforts. I saw a creature that looked like weird wolf coated in shadows making himself comfortable on the ground behind few rocks. He probably thought nobody would see him there and he might have been right but I saw him going there so he had been unlucky. After he fell asleep I thought I would just off him and feast on him but I felt something weird from the wolf.
The shadows looked very dangerous as well but I think he was evolving and that’s a chance for me to get a look at the time needed for it.
So I dug a small hole just to barely fit myself and hide my presence for anything else that might approach this particular spot.
Then I watched and waited. Jeez it was hard to not fell asleep. Really hard. But in about one hour the wolf was up and running.
The wolf looked exactly the same except his shadows seemed even more deadly… weirdly better refined and smooth.
That’s odd. Evolution is so quick and it changes so little? Alright that’s not that bad then I guess. Lets just widen this spot a bit to make sure I don’t kill myself by squishing myself into the wall. I made a room at least twice my size and collapsed the entrance to cut it off completely from outside entrance.
Lets go sleep just a quick look at the stats before.
Status
Name: None
Race: Small Black Rat
Level: 5
Fame: 1000
CP: 1.1
HP: 3.3
MP: 0.001
SP: 5
BM: 150
Skills: Strong Bite lvl.5, Fast Jump lvl.5, !?.Status.?!.
Evolution: None…???…!…..?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....!!!!?!?!?!...
Yeah… I get it. Completely reasonable to be so famous I guess and the constant mocking of the status on the evolution is very nice too. I have no idea what BM means but probably has to do something with eating since it did go up every time I ate something.
Lets go evolve. I had a feast I had a nice adventure made a nice room to sleep in what more to do for now other than sleep finally if I cease to exist as me so be it. Lets created the new ME!
With that I fell asleep.

The Orb Weaver Chronicles
"The Orb Weaver Chronicles contains several major and unique events that may or may not unknowingly intertwines with one another. The author of these chronicles is unknown, although some have hinted at the symbolism behind its name..." - Year unknown, location unknown 9 February 2022 Update: Welcome to the companion short story compilation of my novel trilogy The Shadow Paradigm. This compilation features prequels, sidequels and sequels to the novel's major plotline, as well as featuring a wide range of characters, new and recurring. Prior knowledge of the novel is not necessary as the Orb Weaver Chronicles' short stories are standalone. Once called The Arkesyyan Chronicles, I've deleted quite a few of its old stories. Due to the new avenue and revision, oriented toward more mystery and film-noir ambience, that I took my stories into, I've removed all aliens and overly sci-fi aspects of the whole TSP lineup, so I've updated the Orb Weaver Chronicles accordingly. I hope you enjoy them, and in time, a revised version will also be updated.
