Chapter 2 - Dark Worm (Edited)

Author Note: First of the edited chapters. I didn't touch this one so much, only changing a few interactions and thoughts of the MC and deleting some paragraphs that didn't fit with MCs personality.

..........................................................................................

Are you kidding? You are joking with me, right?

[Although the brain is still in the growing process, you have quick processing and the ability to roll]

What's with that!?

I do think about various stuff a lot, you know!.

[It's dangerous to be alone. The insides of the egg are extraordinarily delicious and considered a delicacy, and monsters in the zone love it.]

[If you were to be found by a human, you would be instantly killed. Though if the parent dragons are near, this wouldn't be the case.]

[There is also the chance that humans would take you away, but this isn't recommendable as a dragon can follow the scent of its egg.]

A lie! It's a lie, right?

Isn't it too cruel?

I would be killed if I were found, just like a common c.o.c.kroach!

What are this, dragons, monsters…?

Really, the heck is this.

I regain consciousness, and now is the second day. Also, I finally came to understand that this forest that I was in was a dangerous forest full of monsters.

Monsters like some black crocodile looking thing and other giant insects which I dislike.

By the way, this day, I got the [Hunger Resistance] and [Poison Resistance] skills. Because of a mushroom that I eat earlier, my stomach hurts, it really hurts.

Well, at least I understand that it won't be dangerous if I just have it in my hand.

Anyways, let's test the [Roll] Skill. As if by instinct, I just rolled over to the side.

[[Roll] Skill leveled up to level 2.]

I rolled from a high place, which ended up with me falling, and it dealt quite the amount of damage to me.

[[Fall Resistance] Skill level up to level 2.]

I almost killed myself.

Naa, I'm tired, God's Voice-chan...

I want to go back home, I want to take a bath, I want to eat ch.i.p.s...

Goddam Goddess…

[Special Skill [God's Voice: Lv1] is unable to explain.]

For now, I'm going to have to survive in this place. My hopes go through that. My hopes of entering human society in this life are also low, considering that I am food for them.

Human life, huh, something like being born from an egg, means that I will change.

Which reminds me, who am I?

I don't seem to remember. I do recall that I was human, and I still have my common knowledge, which tells me that monsters shouldn't exist.

I also remember that f.u.c.k.i.n.g goddess. Didn't she say that I would remain my memories? At least I still remember my favorites animes…

I also remember that I'm a man.

Anyways let's confirm my status.

It seems that HP can be recovered by just lying down. Both of these days, I've paid a lot of attention to not get hurt and end up dying because of that.

I have been avoiding monsters, eating small fruits that fall from the trees and little insects, and drinking the spring's water.

Though I didn't want to, it was inevitable. I thought I was going to die from hunger. Even I think that giving up after two days is fast. It can't be helped. Compared to when I was a human, the feeling of hunger is much stronger.

I'm still in my growth period. I mean, I'm still an egg.

Even if my level goes up... Will I be able to fight? I don't think I would be ready to hit a monster.

Since I'm an egg. When will I hatch? God's voice said that I was a dragon's egg, shouldn't there any feeling that I'm growing?

Maybe it won't happen unless I don't level up? I need to defeat monsters?

That's impossible! I'm just an egg! Nest? Didn't I fall from my nest?

Didn't I fall from a tree? Could it possibly be that it was the dragon's nest? It could be that there is something that stimulates my growth…

Ah, danger.

There are some grotesque caterpillars at the base of the tree.

This discovery was quite late.

That thing's name is Dark Worm. When I fell down here, they began to chase me.

Naturally, I was able to escape.

Except for the dark worm, other monsters just seem to ignore me. They just seem to overlook me.

It could be that they think that if they try to attack me, the parent dragon will come forth to protect me, now that I think about it God's Voice said something like that on the first day.

But... Where is this dragon?

But, that fellow always attacks me. Let's check the Dark Worm status,

[Status inspection] I said in my mind.

Dangerous, really dangerous. His overall status is better than mine. My agility is slightly better than his, but for now, I should escape from here.

Now I know why that guy was so obstinately aiming for me, it's because of that strange Title Skill that he has.

[Egg Eater: Lv1]

It really probably is because of that.

What I came to understand was that that guy seems to know the taste of an egg.

An agreement is impossible. It would be inadvisable to communicate with that thing.

It seems like, right now, the Dark Worm somehow lost some HP. If I wait for it to fall asleep, will I be able to finish him off?

His level is higher than mine, but my defense is a bit higher than his. If I receive one attack, I would be out, but I think that I should be able to win if I use my advantage in agility well.

Alright, let's do this.

I'm going to beat that guy down, so I can level up to hatch. And bring this egg life to an end.
