Chapter 3 – A Living Cave

oOo

Where the hell am I right now? D-don’t tell me I’m inside a monster’s mouth? S-so that’s why those insects didn’t chase me all the way here. .so that’s why my [Threat Sentient] was still giving me an uncomfortable feeling. *NOOOO PLEASE SPARE ME GREAT ONE, LET ME OUT OF HERE!!*

I swim back where I entered, but I can’t see a thing. I don’t have any skill to use to scape or even protect myself. *why why oh why*. I didn’t noticed that it was a mouth, my vision was not that great, and it really looked like a cave to me, with dark and mossy features like an old rock. *Help me please!!*

*ding*

“Yes thank you God you’ve heard my prayer.”

|Adaptability – Night Vision – enhancing the eyes to adjust from the dark surroundings and see at the dark.|

-_- Why now? I asked something more useful from this situation, and you’re giving me night vision? I also needed enhanced sight when I was born. W-why just now huh? Just why? I needed this from the start, just why now?

But thanks to the new skill, I can somehow see my surrounding a little bit clear. It was just in a huge sphere like cave except for the narrow part which was the throat, and a whip like tongue which has a spike ball at the end, and a thick base which was half of my size.

Without any means to escape, I bite the base of the tongue and it wiggled as it felt my teeth sink into the flesh. It was trying to shake me off, but I was so angry and desperate I gave more power to the bite.

*JUST OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND LET ME OUT!!*

I don’t know if it read my mind, but its mouth was starting to open, and without a second thought I let go of its tongue and rush towards the outside. But it was a mistake to let go, the creature sucks up water and with the strong force of water I got to the throat and. . .

*GULP*

I heard a loud sound, and I’m swallowed whole.

Ahhh this is gross, *fuck my life* moving through the esophagus gives me the chill. I tried biting to hold on and choke this guy but I failed as he keeps drinking more water, *arrghhh how much water do you need? You already lived in the water, just give me a break!*

*splash*

“This is DISGUSTING!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EATING?” I can’t even describe what’s in here. I need to think for a plan to get out of here as soon as possible before I get digested. Normally stomach will produce acid for digesting, but since this guy swallowed a ton of water, the water neutralizes the effect of the acid and slows the process of digestion. This means if the liquid here gets absorbed, the stomach will produce acid again. * I guess my elementary teacher was helpful after all.*

I can’t go out to the move, and especially I will not go to the other end *fuck that, I’d rather die than eat shit.* If I’m going to die here then I will at least inflict pain before that happens. Harnessing all my strength I bite the inside of his stomach.

*ding*

|Bite – using the force of ones mouth to inflict damage.|

I was happy for a second, and then I remembered what situation I was in. I quickly swallowed a tiny piece of meat that I’ve tear.

*OOONNNGGGRRR* *ding*

The sound of pain has a great synchronization from the notification sound.

|Title Skill – Parasite – a being that benefits from consuming and deriving nutrients from a host without killing it. Additional effect : when the user consumes nutrients from the host, it can regenerate its health, and can also absorbed a small amount of the host strength.|

“WHAT?! Are you serious?” this title was a bit tempting, but I don’t want to be something like a leach. And even if I did, what if I got digested before I can even grow stronger?

Ahh fuck let’s just try this out for a second. I clung onto the wound where I bite the stomach and start to such its blood. *Sigh* I’m really going low from doing this; I think I’ve thrown my humanity. *come to think of it, I’m no longer human anymore.* *sigh*. I sucked its blood, which was not that bad but not that good either, it was thick and. . . . ARRGGHH!! Why do I even need to describe this. . .

It’s been about 5 minutes; I’ve raised my skill [Voracity] which gives me more storage for food, as well as night vision. I’ve noticed that for every 30 seconds I gained 2 points for strength, I wish all my status was gaining points. And then it started, I was waiting for the liquids in its stomach to be drained, but I was wrong.

It just produces acid little by little, and I’m now taking the effect. I can recover from using the parasite skill but, I’m getting full now. I tried to vomit but it seems to be impossible for me.

*ding*

| Adaptability - Acid Resistance – helps to reduce the deterioration effect on the body.|

Thanks to this skill, it reduces the damage from the acid, but it’s steadily reduces my HP slowly. With no more option, I used [Bite] and from getting an additional strength from this guy, I made a slightly bigger wound from before.

*OOONNNGGGGRRRR*

I used [Bite] repeatedly and I was using 5 SP per Physical Skill. It was screaming for every bite that I did, *hohoho I’m going to upset your stomach, you shit*.

*ding*

|Acid Resistance raised a level.|

The monster can’t take it anymore, and it drunk a ton of water. I got pushed down to the bottom of its stomach, but I’m thankful that the acidity level was once again neutralized. After the insides were calm, I quickly suck some blood to regenerate my health.

*Haha so you’re a crybaby when your stomach was hurting a little huh.*

After recovering some of my health, *I cannot fully recover because I’m full right now* I think for another plan for escaping. I can’t waste my time sucking up blood, then bite his stomach for him to drink some water, what if he just endured it then what? I’ll just get digested at the end. And the second option to exit the other end was a NO NO! . . I looked around and saw corpses of different monster. . *hmm should I try that one?*

I was hesitating for a second but I cannot wait for the stomach to produce acid again, with a snap I start to eat the corpses that was still edible, even if I’m full I’ll still eat like the Bottom Feeder that I was.
