《Reincarnated as a Pillbug monster》Chapter II: Eat or be eaten
Advertisement
Currently, i'm buried deep in the sand near the nest waiting for my first prey.
I been like this for about half a day, waiting and wondering whether I catch something or starve to death first.
My status has already turned into [Starvation (low)] and I lost 1 Hp.
This wouldn't look so bad if I didn't only have 4 Hp remaining...
So, what do I plan to do ?
Well, first I looked around the nest and found an egg that didn't hatch,
unfortunately (and luckily for me) it has cracked its shell on some nearby rock
and all the insides have turned into stinky slime.
The moment I removed a little bit more of its shell,
releasing the stench into the air, a few pillbugs around the nest instantly reacted.
Thinking it could be a good bait,
I carefully returned the egg into the nest and removed a big chunk of the shell, releasing an unbelievable stench.
Then I buried into the sand as quickly as possible, waiting for the pillbugs to come closer.
However, an enormous number of pillbugs rolled near the nest that they started attacking each other.
Those that survived has eaten their opponent and happily rolled away, leaving me with an empty stomach...
As I disappointedly started thinking that the stinky egg is my only meal I could have today,
one pillbug finally rolled here near the nest.
After looking around for a bit, it started slowly walking toward the egg.
It was a brown pillbug, about twice my size, its shell shining on the strangely red colored sun.
This is gonna be my first prey, it's gonna be either him or me.
He is still a little bit far, but he is going right where I'm hidden.
I thought that it was weird for him to stop rolling so far away from the nest,

but then I noticed other pillbugs rolling here only to spot this brown one and then immediately roll away.
Looks like nobody wants to mess with this guy,
he's slowly coming here to show others that he is the one who's going to eat the egg.
Now I'm really scared fighting this guy, but well... If I don't, I'm gonna starve to death.
I rather go out with a fight then die from starvation.
Okay, he's close enough, let's check how strong this guy is really.

Well then, goodbye cruel world, I'm gonna be glad when this guy finally eats me...
HECK NOT !!!
What is with this thing?! Did it evolve ? He even has a title [Shell Lord:Lv1],
no wonder others were running away the moment they saw him.
What should I do, shall I run away too ?
There's gonna be other chances to fill my stomach before my Hp run out...
No, that wouldn't work. With how bad my luck is, I will definitely starve if I run away now.
Shit, how do I raise my luck, it's completely 0...
Anyway, let's look at this situation from a different angle.
This earth pillbug is completely sure there is no one that will interfere with its meal,
so he is definitely letting his guard down. Also, maybe his shell is super hard, but what about below him ?
His head and stomach, there's a chance the they are a lot softer than his shell.
I'm also hidden below sand, perfect for a surprise attack.

Yes, there is still a chance to take this guy down, I just need to be super fast.
.....
Ok, He will soon be right on top of me.
I have already buried even my head below the sand so he shouldn't notice me.
On the other hand, I also can't see anything.
I will only know when he is here from feeling the pressure above me.
Okay, I can hear something...
.....
Now I starting to feel the pressure above me...
.....
Not yet...
Not yet...
NOW !!!
Before my head is even above the sand, my two scythes have already pierced something hard...
Ugh, I think something broke...
[QsSss!!!]
Before it has a chance to react, I stab him right through the head with one of my scythes,
looks like the other one has broke in half.
[QqssSs!!!]
Brown pillbug hissed, as he tried to start to roll, however, I used my broken scythe to pierce his stomach.
Damn, the other that pierced through his head is starting to crack, just how much hard is this thing ?!
I don't even have time to look at our HP, I already started trying to slice his head in half with the scythe that is stuck in it.
[Qsss!]
This time I hissed, as the brown billbug has fallen on top of me, squeezing me.
I'm lucky that below us is sand, lowering the damage.
[QssSsQsss...]
Brown pillbug hisses for the last time as I split his head in half,
spilling transparent slimy liquid at me as his whole body started to tremble.
I use this chance to pierce his stomach once more, shattering another one of my scythes...
I quickly look at my Hp, it's 2/5... Ugh, that was a close call...
Then I look at brown pillbugs status.

Legendary Twilight Farmer
This is a story I created for fun after reading some LN (Korean/Japanese). The first few chapters might be a familiar to some, but then again, it will evolve after that in a very different way. I'll be updating it as frequent as I can depending on my time since I have another story to write. Since English is my 6th language that I speak, don't expect perfect grammar from me. I'm still improving as I go along. [Below is the real sypnosis] ***** Once a hero, now a zero. As a soldier, Bryan Walker was both fearless and skilful.

Curse of Change (Hiatus)
(Hiatus to work of my other fiction)What if the world was keeping secrets? Secrets so dark and powerful that one must simply be unaware of them lest they be destroyed. Experiments that are too horrible to reveal, hidden monsters too terrible to release. Darkness the overwhelms the light, power that trumps all, beings of ferocity unseen by the masses. What would you do if you stumbled across one of these secrets? What COULD you do?------------------------------------------------------------[Hey everyone, this is MultiBlitz15. Apart from writing stories for english class in school, this is my first time ever writing a fiction, so please bear with me. I intend this to be a story involving the ""what if's"" of life and the darker sides of humanity. The story will start on Earth but will escalate into something much, much more. That is where the fantasy tag will come into play. On the topic of tags, some of them may not be permanent and some simply haven't been added yet. Also, I DO NOT intend to include sex scenes or major tragedy in my fiction. While there might be sexual references and minor tragedies, there shouldn't be anything beyond that. Finally, this fiction is rated Mature 18+ due to the incredible amounts of blood, gore, brutality, and other stuff I intend to include. Thank you, and please enjoy the story!](P.S If you find grammar mistakes, please let me know in the comments, I would greatly appreciate it.)(P.P.S I finished adding more content to the previous chapters!!)
