So that’s why, I’ve raised 4 levels. I looked around me and there was nothing but me and the slimy ground. *where the hell was the corpses*, I was getting hungry. I walked on fours and looked around, my tail was also back and I don’t have any more wounds. My [Body Regeneration] can only regenerate body parts, including healing wounds, but the damage was still there, that’s why my body still felt heavy.
I also can’t see any notification screens from gaining four levels. I noticed that there were trails for my mucus to the side, so I followed it. Then I remembered what happened before I blacked out. There was huge long shadow, and when I compared the tracks, it’s similar to a snake crawling on sand *that kind of track*.
“So it’s probably a snake type monster, I need to be careful.”
It was not long when I found a dead body of a huge snake; it must have died from eating three rats with my poison. When I came closer, it suddenly moved, I got startled and quickly threw mucus balls with poisons to its eyes and mouth. *ha* *ha* *I thought it was dead. Fucking hell!!*

The snake was probably dying, but I think it shouldn’t get killed by my poison as it also has poison. I walk around it, its head has scales like horns, and its body was covered with thick scaled. But there was something that caught my attention, I didn’t noticed it at first because I didn’t saw it but when I walked around the snake, there’s a huge wound on its body, and a large bite marks.
*this place is really scary* If it was another snake, it wouldn’t make those marks and I’m sure it would swallow it’s pray. I can’t remember any monster from the games I’ve played from my past life, a wolf? a zombie dog? A bear maybe? Monsters are always base on ordinary animals, but there’s a lot of monsters that can do this, I just hope I won’t be meeting stronger monsters here a lot.
*ding*
|Leveled up 3 times from killing a Lesser Normal Baby Draco Ground Snake|
*what the fuck is this long ass name?!!*
So it’s a Lesser?* like a low rank I think* Normal Baby Draco? * I don’t know what a normal is, but Baby Draco, it’s a baby dragon?!! What? Dragons this early,* and I’ve passed over the level cap, evolution can wait, I want to eat its meat.
I start to eat from the huge sound, the scales were very hard to even break so I didn’t bother to try and bite it again.
*nom* *nom* *nom*
I ate and ate, until my stomach is full and my SP and rest to recover my Hp and MP to full. From eating the meat of this draco snake, I’ve learned the poison that it was using and was added to my list. I was lucky that this entire time, no other monster was attracted to the smell of blood. So I just enjoy eating it, and resting under a nearby rock, and do the process until I cannot eat anything.

From the skill of [Bottom Feeder] I manage to gain two more levels, and some skills leveling up (Voracity is now Lvl 5, Sharp Teeth at 6, poison nullification at 5, acid resistance at 6, paralysis nullification at 5, and body comprehension at 4) and I proceed to the evolution.
|Evolution Options : Young Adult Hemo Toxic Newt , Diseased Hemo Venomous Newt, Undead Lizard, Opious Venom Lizard(New Species), Rock Armored Lizard.|
“So many options like the last one. Let’s just examine them first.”
The Young Adult Hemo, was the same and just bigger. *What the Fuck is a Diseased Hemo Venomous Newt?! I don’t want to be diseased!* this must came the rats, I don’t want that shit. Next one was a Undead Lizard, sure being an undead has many advantages, but what about the sunlight, I don’t want to be inside a cave or dungeon forever. I also want to go to places day or night.
*Hmmm let’s see the New Species, new species are always unique and strong.*
|Opious Venom Lizard – a new species or lizard that has a lizard like body, and with a head like snake. This monster can smell blood from 5 kilometers in radius using its snake like tongue. This lizard can grow as big as a Lesser Dragon, depending on its meal, the more it grows the powerful it becomes. This monster is also sensitive to heat, and can see very clear at night.|
*hmmm, I don’t know, but this sounds powerful, but the thing about being large, I don’t want to be the size of an elephant, and a Lesser Dragon what is that? A low level dragon? A small dragon? A weak dragon?*
Someone needs to give me an explanation with this one, *still waiting of an appraisal type skill.* now for the last evolution.
|Rock Armored Lizard – a big type of lizard, that has an armored like scales that were made from rocks, the rocks are a hard defense that’s connected to the bone which can be regrow. It has four powerful legs with sharp claws, and a tail that are covered entirely with rocks with a tip that can be manipulated in different shapes and size for attacking.|
The opious *what kind of name is that? Is that even a word?* anyway, the opious venom lizard was a bit more tempting, it can become so strong just by eating and I’m just good at that. But the second one was also good.
It took me 30 minutes of thinking what to be, but I made up my mind and this will be it.
“Let’s do the evolution!!!”
-END-
Thank you for reading. . .

Headcase
Everywhere there are superheroes and supervillains, but Adrian is just a ghost. His power allows him to go anywhere unnoticed, and he hasn't wanted to be noticed at all. Until today, this telepath could barely remember his own name, let alone what his purpose in life was. But no one can ignore their destiny forever. Adrian needed a wakeup call to come back to the world, and it came in the form of an unstoppable rampaging super. He must keep his feet on the ground now if he wants to survive and become the strongest sane hero left standing - and save the city he loves. Author's Note: This will be my fourth original novel here on Royal Road so you can have confidence in my completion rate. My last book 'Creep' received both extreme praise and criticism which I have taken to heart. My intent here is to redouble all the best elements of my writing. I hope you enjoy! UPDATING MULTIPLE TIMES WEEKLY
8 382Dungeon I/O (⚒ Crafting ⚒)
A young engineer with photographic memory dies after choking on a pretzel. He is reincarnated in a fantasy world as a dungeon core. Having near infinite knowledge from Earth, and infinitesimal common sense, he begins to shape his dungeon into the ultimate factory of resources. Collect all the things! Automate all the systems! Even adventurers can be farmed! And if a few world governments collapse in the process, well, it’s all for the sake of science! This story is like if Factorio was about dungeons, played by someone with ADHD. Warning, lots of numbers and spreadsheets. Arithmophobes beware!
8 143AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots... Please leave a comment! If you want to help me more, support me on Patreon. I'm always trying to come up with new ways for you to participate in this journey. New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!
8 148I can summon my past lives
What would you do if you were the only cultivator on the planet? What would you do if you could summon the soul bodies of your previous lives and leech off of their experiences? For the first time in my boring life, I finally saw the light. I was given the mission to become the strongest by any means necessary. Lucky for me, my past lives were quite badass in their respective universes during their prime until their untimely deaths...well most of them, I think. Their experiences remolded the current me to become their best version. I learned something: As powerful as they were, they still died for one reason or another until it was ultimately my time to live. In this life, I vow to learn from their mistakes and live forever. Besides, there must be a reason this {Requiem System} I got was given to me in this life. I am scared I am the last life to be reincarnated. If I die, there won’t be another do over. And why would I die if my reincarnations are also invested in this life as I am? They came with their powers intact...just that they lack a physical body which I am happy to share. With beings that strong at my beck and call, I think the bar that I must surpass had been raised a little bit too high. I am called Damon Kaze and I welcome you to this journey of my last reincarnation of mine. I can’t guarantee it’ll be your cup of tea, but hey, sometimes you never get what you wish for. You just have to live with it and hope for the best.
8 87Anathema of the Eldritch
The youth of a fool ends shortly with a burst of light and a pressing question. A question that may not influence the quickly ending course of his current life, but one that will bring about great changes in the next. The balance of power within the forest of Eleanor starts to shift, as conflict is brought to its borders. The powers in the wider world are constantly moving, keeping a delicate balance held only by the continuous bloodshed of the enemy. In this world, those that can banish the foreign powers and stop the infighting aren't heralded. They are shunned for the experiments of their pears, banished from their homes for being gifted the 'wrong' talent, and hunted for practicing that which made them outlaws. In this age, the Anathema of the Eldritch shall be made.
