Chapter 1 – Breaking out
oOo
I must have slept from being tired; I’ve now recovered all my stamina. It was a lot harder when just using force but this time let’s try something different, I swim close to the shell and start to bite my way out of it. I chew and chew at the eggshell but it was hopeless until. .
*ding*
|Adaptability - Sharp Teeth Lvl : 1 – gaining sharper teeth used for cutting.]
“Ahhhh yes, thank you very much.” Using my new passive skill, I began to tear up the shell with ease.
“Finally I’m free. . . .!!” I looked at my surrounding and it’s a bit dark, but thankfully I manage to identify my surrounding with the dim light that came from above. I turn around and there was a cluster of frog eggs, some of my brothers and sisters were now starting to come out of the egg.
*SSSHHHHUUUU* *BLOB* *BLOB* *BLOB*
With only a second, the cluster of eggs were taken away by from large fish monster and clouds of dirt were now spreading across the area.
I quickly swim away and look for a place to hide under the bottom of a large rock.
*pant* *pant* *pant*
“That was so close, if I was a few seconds late I would be fish food.” *pant* *pant* this place is really dangerous.
Catching my breath, and restoring my stamina, I look around for food. How should I gain level if I’m this weak and there’s a ton of strong monster here? *sigh* I can’t understand how tadpoles survive in real life, while I was deep in my thoughts; I suddenly felt a strong current of water. I moved deeper inside the bottom of the rock, and looked at where the current was coming. I looked up and there were two monsters fighting, a large fish with a lot of fins and a lizard? No it was more like a snake with six pairs of feet.

The snake lizard was a bit on a disadvantage because of its thin body. But it has a weapon of its own; it was spilling a purple cloud like an octopus, but the monster fish caught its neck and with a snap, the head of the snake like lizard sink to the bottom with its body.
It’s been 10 minutes since the battle was over but no monster have even taken a nip from the corpse *I wonder why, maybe its poisonous.* I’ve waited and waited, but I can’t find any small insect that I can eat or other death monster. I was too afraid to go out of my hiding spot, I know that being a Ghost Tadpole will help me survive, but what if some monsters can detect movements? *sigh*
*ughhh, I’m getting hungry by the minute, and it seems that my HP losses 1 point.*
I tried to slowly come outside of the rock, and then move back again. My tadpole heart was raising its beat every second that I’m out in the open.
*Ding*
[Adaptability – Fear Nullification Lvl 1 – helps to decrease the chance of feeling fear.]
I felt a little bit ease from hearing those words inside my head; I then quickly swim to the corpse of the snake like lizard. When I got close to it, there was some gelatin like substance covering its body, I know it’s a deadly mucus but somehow it taste sweet.
I tried to take a bit then suddenly my body gets numb, and my HP was slowly decreasing 1 point at a time. *ugghhh I knew this would be the consequence, but it sure taste delicious* “Ughhh, am I going to die here?”
*ding* *ding*

I can now move my body slowly, and my HP was reduced halfway. I rest for a bit until my body recovers some HP. After 15 minutes, I then start to eat the mucus which was absolutely delicious but deadly, my Sharp Teeth, Body Comprehension, Paralysis, and Poison Nullification leveled up and I took some break when my HP was below 50%. I repeat this routine until I can reach the skin.
An hour passed from repeating the whole routine of, eat, rest and restore. But finally I’ve reached the skin of this monster, it was hard as the muscle becomes stiff, but it was not a problem for having a [Sharp Teeth] at level 3. As soon as I took a bite from the skin, a notification appeared.
*ding* *ding*
|Title Acquired – Bottom Feeder|

A title skill, it was gross and I don’t really want it, but as long as it give me experience from not fighting other monsters, then it’s fine. Now let’s eat.
*ding* *ding* *ding*

“Ahhhh, I’m full, I think I’ve eaten 3 times of my own body mass.” Being a bottom feeder gained me 3 levels.

Gaining some status points, I noticed that eating will restore Stamina in the process. Resting inside the huge corpse, I start to think since I’m safe inside this poisonous monster.
I wonder what purpose should I live for, should I quickly evolve and get out of this place, should I get stronger, and will I just be a frog after evolution? I want to use magic as well, how about being human? I’m sure magic will solve anything, but I need to first learn basic magic.
But for now let’s just sleep for a bit, having a full stomach really gets you to be sleepy.

Gaming on a MUD is difficult.
This is a story based on my characters background and journal that I played on a mud (Multi User Dungeon) over the course of several years. Dozens of people play a text based command line game at the same time. I figured I'd try to turn in into a story to see if anyone found it interesting. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. This is my first time so not very experienced. It is a story about how going into a multi player game expecting a typical RPG experience turns into something else because other players are involved.
