"What is this light? Where am I? I need to get out of here, my senses are telling me that I need to go towards that light to get out of this place", a small creature trying to open his eyes slowly having blurred vision thought to himself while he felt a ray of light coming through a particular direction.
He started moving towards the light, He was surrounded by the pitch-black space and wanted to get out from this dark place.
"Phew! I am almost there. What is this, a thin wall? I have to crack this to get out of here" He saw a white wall in front of his sight, it looks pretty thin.
Having thought of destroying it in his mind, he started to bang it with his head because he couldn't feel his limbs. He cracked that wall-like structure without taking a break, just like some kind of woodpecker striking the tree to make a hole.
"Phew! Almost done," he mumbles to himself while he cracks the wall. He is filled with joy with the idea of getting out of that black pitch space. In reality, that wasn't a wall but a membrane, a membrane of eggshell. He was a tiny little black shiny snake about one meter long in size, and two tiny little horns could be seen on his little head.
"Wait, what is this place, and where am I?" he thought to himself.
When he opens his little small eyes first-time and gains complete vision he is surprised to see those unknown things around him. The place in front of his eyes was very big and dark, and millions of eggs could be seen laying on the ground, thousands of eggs were breaking every second, and thousands of little snakes were slithering around that place.
Holy f.u.c.k, Are those snakes are my brothers and sisters, maybe cousins!" he thought to himself seeing those snakes around him. and he started cursing his fate.
He felt devastated, his life took a 180° turn just like that, seeing this kind of bizarre event in front of his sight, the next moment hazy memories started appearing in his brain.
"F.u.c.k What the hell happened, did I die on my life's special day when I was finally about to lose my virginity! I died as a virgin loser. I worked very hard for this and when finally, my landlady gave me consent to have s.e.x with her I died! I wasted my four precious years of life courting her and when the most awaited day of my life arrived what happened to me? Yes, I remember." He thought to himself cursing his fate, cursing his life.
A few more hazy memories started appearing in his mind as he thought of what happened to him.
"You damn truck Kun, I died in the accident while crossing the road in Delhi, I am f.u.c.k.e.d up by that damn truck Kun" Shivam started to curse Truck Kun thinking about the accident.
He was a nerd who was living a care-free life in India, he was a drop out of a university and doing a part-time job in a hotel as a waiter, he had no girlfriend because he was not popular among girls, but fortunately, he fell in love with his landlord's second wife and started courting her, she pitied him and finally four years later permitted him to have s.e.x with her, but alas! destiny played a cruel game, Truck Kun f.u.c.k.e.d him before he f.u.c.k.e.d her.

"What did I do wrong to get this kind of treatment? I didn't expect too much from the world even though I was living a normal life, but why me?'' he shouted, having those thoughts in his mind.
"Being incarnated as a snake! I didn't deserve this." He pitied himself for a while.
"Shit, let's see what kind of place is this, I need to know where am I right now and"
Having that thought in his mind, he tried slithering around that place, and suddenly his movement became smoother on the surface like he was skating on the ice.
"Wow this is convenient, better than my previous life, it takes at least 8 months for a human baby to crawl, and here I am doing this thing easily" Shivam mumbled while slithering here and there in that nasty dark place.
After a few minutes of fooling around, he saw a little snake who was the same size as him. He approached that little Hebi and halted his movement in front of his sight.
"Hey! How are you my little brother, I am Shivam, what is your name, are you having fun? I am your big brother and I just broke through the egg. Where is our mommy, did you see her around here?" he asked and looked towards the little snake with a deep gaze to get some answers.
To his surprise, only a forked tongue [Split in half] made a sound of hiss. Seeing this he felt a chilly sensation in his whole body.
"Holy f.u.c.k, I am f.u.c.k.e.d up" he whispers in a low voice as he isn't able to speak a single word from his mouth.
The other snake became confused seeing Shivam's bizarre movements, he was confusingly looking towards him, and in a reply to Shivam's action, he gave a reaction.
"Hiss, hiss..." he sibilance in a long hiss to respond to Shivam.
Looking at the confused snake Shivam took a deep sigh. "Never mind little Hebi brother it's nice to meet you." Shivam shook his head with disappointment.
That little snake ignored this bizarre snake and started slithering in a different direction leaving Shivam behind and alone.
"Even a little snake is ignoring me, sigh! Let's see where I am?" Shivam took a deep breath and started to leave that place and venture around to explore various things around him. The place around him was quite dark, he became curious as he explored more and more.
Suddenly his gaze went in the direction where every snake moved after breaking their shell, maybe they were following their senses.
Shivam also followed and started slithering towards the cave where these little guys were going, he followed thousands of little snakes from behind. A few hours later they arrived at the big lake which was situated deep inside the heart of the cave. One by one these little snakes started to jump in the lake and started to hunt little fishes around them.
Shivam was shocked to see a massive lake inside, the lake was very vast and millions of small fish could be seen swimming in packs, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice.
"Growl Growl" his stomach was making that sound as he felt hungry seeing the fishes around him.
"Sigh! My stomach is asking for food, but eating raw fish is that okay? maybe I should cook them before eating." He said excitingly. "Oh, I forget! I am not a human anymore, it's a harsh reality that I have to accept as soon as possible, anyway let's try eating raw," he felt sorrow but had no other option than to accept what he is now. Having thought of eating those fishes, he started slithering towards the lake, and the very next moment he jumped to hunt those fishes.
"Wow, I am swimming, I didn't know that swimming is this kind of easy feast to attain. Well, I know that snakes can swim, climb, and crawl. It's not that big thing, but why can I see things like a human? Snakes are dichromatic, they react to heat, and I can feel that my blood is also cold, and on top of that I am also able to hear like a normal human, am I a special type of snake breed? Different from my little brothers and sisters" he thought to himself.
"Well, it is a good thing that I have these kinds of abilities. Thank you, god, for this kind of gift. I am very grateful that you didn't abandon me" he mumbled and looked around him.
"Now it's time to eat fish, then I'll think about the next thing, I am feeling very hungry now." "Itadakimasu"
Saying those words he dashed towards the fish around him. In an instant, he killed a fish and swallowed it whole like it was some kind of tasty treat to him. His senses were helping him. But to his surprise, something unexpected happened when he swallowed the fish. A voice resounded in his head.
[Ding]
[You killed tier 1 Fish you gained a beast stone, 100 Tier 1 beast stones needed for advancing next level.]
"What the hell, who are you, am I become retarded, suddenly I can hear things out of nowhere in my mind," Shivam said in low voice. After hearing that voice in his mind his face becomes pale but the next moment something unexpected happened to him again.
[I AM RAPHAEL, AND I AM GOING TO ASSIST YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY.]HE heard a female A.i voice in his mind.
"Raphael, who are you, and why am I hearing you in my mind? What kind of business do you have with me! and what the hell are you doing my body, did I eat you accidentally but how could it be possible I was just born and didn't eat anything" Shivam asked Raphael in a serious voice.
[Da F.u.c.k you are talking, I am system and I am imprinted in your will to guide you on your journey and I will help you to evolve.]
Hearing Raphael's words, he becomes surprised, he laughed and shouted in his mind.
"Oh God, you didn't abandon me. I heard many isekai stories when I was on earth. When someone dies he will be reborn in a different world, but it becomes a reality"
"Hey Raphael, what do you mean by evolution?" He asked her.
[Yes you can become awakened as you reach the level of Tier 5 beast, and you can enter into the cultivation realm.] she replied to him.
"Raphael, what do you mean by the awakened?" Shivam asked curiously.
[Well, in this world seven realms exist for humans, but for the beast, you have to become Tier 5 beast first it is a basic requirement to get awakened but there are few mythical and hidden classes that also existed beyond Tier Five beast Evolution]
[Let me show you.] Said Raphael and suddenly a blue screen appeared in front of his eyes, and there was some info on the screen regarding the realms and cultivation levels that existed in this world.
Cultivation Levels -
>Body Awakening Realm
>Core Formation Soul Realm
>True Body Soul Realm
>Earth Body Soul Realm
>Heavenly Soul Realm
>Semi Divine Soul Realm
>Divine Soul Realm
-______
>Divine Lord Realm
>Divine Monarch Realm
>Divine God Realm
[After becoming Tier 5 beast you have to go through special requirements (a Ritual) to advance in the cultivation realm. And the beast who was able to advance after Tier 5 or beyond that will get a chance to enter the cultivation realm and are known as awakened and they are very few in numbers, and people call them calamity because they can transform in their beast form to human form with their own will whenever they want.] she explained Shivam.
"So if I wanted to be awakened I have to clear those Five Beast Tire Stages, then I can become awakened", Shivam ask Raphael,
[Yes] RAPHAEL REPLIED.
"So If I can devour these millions of fish around me, I can advance to tier 5 right!" Shivam asks Raphael.
[No, you are just a tier 1 snake] She paused for a moment and again continued her explanation.
[It is not easy to advance. Each tier has its difficulty level, but don't worry I will guide you.] Raphael Replied. Hearing those words Shivam shook his head.
"Well, whatever, I am happy that I can transform into a human form after getting awakened, I just have to work hard till then". Shivam responded to Raphael.
"Hey Raphael, show me my status window," Shivam asked.
In the next moment, some information appears on the blue screen in front of his sight.
[Ding]
[Name: Shivam]
[Level: Tier 1 Beast]
[Hp: 100]
[Race: Snake]
[Bloodline: Ancient Dragon]
[Ability: Poison breathe, Poison bite]
"What The Fuck, What did you mean by an ancient dragon bloodline" He becomes shocked seeing that!!.
"Host you are lucky that you have the Bloodline of the Ancient Dragon, I've surprised How could a mere snake have that kind of bloodline afterall it's not common thing" Raphael responded to him.
"Damn you" He cursed Raphael With the bottom of his heart when she called him a mere snake, he felt chill in his entire body but alas he becomes happy that he has that kind of bloodline in his body as he ignored Raphael.
"Let's get started, I need to level up quickly", having that thought Shivam started swimming towards the fishes who were swimming around him.
