Chereads / Reborn As Ash Lizard / Chapter 4 - Goal

Chapter 4 - Goal

evolve.... Evolve!

those words repeated in my head like an echo.

'hahaHaHaAHAHAHA!'

I didn't think I'd be able to fulfill the dream I had, after my death!

All the effort I put into training, finding the right target to get a fight where I could go bayond my limit!

All this to become the strongest and exceed the limit of human!

It took me my whole life but in the end I failed and the man who should have been closest to it killed me but still he hasn't crossed the limit of being human!

But here and now I don't know if it's a god or an alien, I don't care.

What is important is that I can see the path!

Which has always been there but not to be seen!

hmm

Wait how did i get this exp?

There was something about killing an opponent, but I haven't killed anyone now, unless they're talking about a wall."

I found the previous exp gain window to find out.

"training huh?

so mining counts as training?

handy!

but how long should i train to get exp?

I don't have a watch to measure it.

wait

in the status I have it said that he lives 1.5 hours, I came to the mine and started digging after about half an hour after I was born, I think,

so I guess around one hour of mining I got exp for training?

this... will be easier than I thought!"

"Now my desire and enthusiasm for digging jumped through the roof!"

Grabbing the torch between my teeth, I began to mine my way through with newfound determination.

Before I knew it, I got a new window that I got 10 exp and my level go up by one, with that warm feeling go my whole body.

but I'm getting pretty hungry

and my bag is empty.

I looked back and stared at the tunnel I had made.

"absolutely nothi... wait I see something!"

I quickly ran to the place where the light of the torch was reflected.

"looks like a piece of gold?

looks high quality?

hard to see any impurities.

but it's only one piece in the bag, they would probably fit 100.

let's try to dig in this place, maybe there will be more."

I started digging another tunnel and soon found another piece but this time there were more than one.

"four, nice, let's hope he digs up to vain, that would be perfect."

After another hour of digging, I didn't get to vain, but I got quite a lot of gold along with some light white ore and get 10 more exp.

"I have half the bags full, maybe that will do?"

hmm, well, let's dig a bit longer, I still have a lot of strength in me"

After level up from mining

"What a pathetically easy way, feels like a cheat, but who care, I won't complain"

They were much easier to dig, but my claws were a little dullness and showed traces of cracking on them.

"This is a slight problem, maybe it's time to switch to a pickaxe?

It would be a problem if I hurt myself and got an infection in the wound

hmm when I level up scaly skin will the cracks heal?

I went back down the tunnel to pick up the pickaxe I had left behind.

"I dug quite a long tunnel in a short time, maybe I have a hidden talent for digging?" I said laughing lightly at my own joke.

"The pickaxe should be here somewhere, but I can't see it.

was it buried?

hmm"

I looked carefully but couldn't find it.

"It was this moment when I started digging a tunnel I still see hole after sticking the torch in the ground.

someone stole my pickaxe?

probable.

I don't see any traces

great, so I'm without a pickaxe.

When I find that pest who stole MINE item it from me i will show him what mistake he made!" Without my noticing, a slight red aura leaked out of me.

"Well, I will go back now and give back what I dug up, plus my torch starts to burn out and I dont want dig in totaly darkness."

with a half-full bag I starting to return to "nest?"
