On the hospital bed lay a man who looked about over 30 was a man named Huroko Anaki he was suffering from a terminal illness which made him unable to move properly resulting him being stucked on bed for the rest of his days.
He looked outside of the window looking as if he was already ready to go but in his thoughts were "Fuck! I really wish I could've been able to play games like those in videos..."Huroko Anaki was probably going to die in less than an hour but all he thought were that he wished he could've played video games since being stucked on the bed for his whole entire life he could only watch videos from his phone.
He wished he could've played those RPG games since a fantasy theme game had a lot of unique things like monsters,demons,angles including dragons too! what he liked most were that there was a lot of different characters and roles you could pick!
After thinking of all sorts of things he didn't really want to die since he really wanted to all sorts of things like playing video games,playing at a arcade and going to a game cafe.
One of the things he was thinking was the money his parents had wasted on him,he really didn't want to waste away his parents money but they insisted since he couldn't work for himself making him want to apologize to them for wasting away their money.
"Man I really wish I got to play those RPG games...is this how I'm going to die..."
On his last breath his vision went black.
When he had his vision back he was thinking if he did die or not since it felt very strange and he couldn't feel his limbs and all he could see were darkness,he tried moving but it was quite hard to move.
Before he had time to think what to do a cracking sound came from over his head.
He hurriedly popped his head out of the crack which shine in a bright light when he did he looked around his surroundings,the surroundings looked very weird since he somehow got into a cave with bright shimmering crystals on its cave walls.
He was supposed to die at that moment wasn't he?but he ended up in a unknown cave.
Huroko looked at the thing he came out of it surprised him as the thing he came out of was an egg?he wanted to see if he was dreaming by slapping himself but he couldn't feel his limps making him panicky making the cracked egg he was in shake.
The shaken cracked egg fell and rolled to a nearby cave wall and crashed into it making it fall apart.
"Ack!"
When the cracked egg rolled it made Huroko head dizzy ,when the cracked egg hit the wall it broke into many pieces when he tired to move again he saw a large snake Infront of him making him try to move backwards but he saw the snake tail move with him.
He needed to see if he had actually become a snake,he looked around the cave and saw a enormous lake even if he couldn't move properly he was still able to move.
[Different viewpoint]
I looked into the water reflection "Please tell me I didn't become a snake please please!!!"I didn't see my face but a big white snake head appeared on the reflection and a tear drop rolled down my face,"Reincarnation?!Really?!Why a snake of all things?!"I whined.
Before I could complain more a robotic like voice from my head said to me "welcome host I am your skill Nigh-Omniscience!
[I found this skill from the a Snake Physiology]Would you like me to tell you all of the skills you obtained?" I was frighten till I almost fell in the lake.
I kept my composure and replied "Y..yes please..."
The robotic voice started talking "As host said yes I will now explain.Your exclusive skill is Nigh-Omniscience please call me Nigh host my ability is to know every single thing that is possible to know. second superior skill is Clairvoyance it has the ability to gain information about an object, person, location, or physical event through extrasensory perception. Your extra skills are Earth- manipulation,shape-shifting, poisonous fumes,melt,posion resistance,mind-control resistance, enhanced senses, body entanglement and slow regeneration if you have any questions please ask."
I heard of all the skills and felt it was a little too OP but if I was just born doesn't that mean a lot of people have skills like these?!
"Um..hey nigh what does exclusive and superior skills mean?"I asked this question as I wanted to see if it was just like does video games,"Host this skill will explain.exclusive skill is only given to a singular person which is rare in this world but there are other people from your world and when those otherworlders get summoned or teleported here all of them will get one exclusive skill.superior skills are skills given to 1 in 10 people of this world and otherworlders are also able to obtain these but since host is also an otherworlder host was easily able to obtain these skills.
"Hey nigh where are we at this moment?"
"Host we are in a dungeon which has a lot of dangerous monsters recommended to leave."
'of course I want to leave!'i placed those thoughts behind me and continued "I'm a snake right?"
"Host has become an entity called Ophidia in others words a serpent."
"Ahh Thanks Nigh.."I replied before heading to the back of my mind'I really did become a snake!'i cried
"Nigh can you explain about otherworlders?"
"Nigh will gladly explain otherworlders are beings who have been summoned here by a summon spell by 5 high-tier mage unlike like them you have been reincarnated here."
"Umm..nigh what does this world use?.."
"Host this world uses mana in other words natural energy."
I went over to the lake and checked most parts of how I look and found out there were a pair of wings on my back which was not too surprising as this world was fantasy.
I stop distracting myself and started slithering on the ground when I got out of the small cave there was a bigger cave outside and the shimmering crystals kept on distracting me.
"Nigh are these crystals valuable?"
"Host these crystals are very valuable as the properties they have help restore mana recommended to collect them."
'ill probably be able to get it out of the dirt but I can't even carry these crystals...'
"Nigh is there space-time manipulation skill or object in this world?"
"Host there is but only high status people are able to get if host needs space-time manipulation skill or object Nigh will find a solution."
"Okay!"I happily jumped
"Host there are two options.first option is obtain at least 70 000 gold coins and buy from a merchant but the space storage object might have a small amount of space.second option go more into the dungeon and fight with a finster an B+-Rank monster when killed host would be able to get a skill with space-time manipulation."
After hearing the two options the only option is killing the monster?!
'i don't even have a single penny and it's telling me to get at least 70 000 gold coin'i cried
'the only option is to kill a monster...'
"Nigh tell me the location of the fingster and it's abilities..."
"Host the finster is at the right corner of the dungeon.A finster is able to mind-control, mind control resistance, space-time storage and it's exclusive skill is called Mud Creation it's able to produce creatures out of mud.Nigh will proceed to explain the extra skills.mind-control-"
"Nigh I don't need to know the skills already says it.."
"Alright host."
Traveling to the right corner of the dungeon I encountered different monsters.
"Croak!Croak!"
A large toad stick it's large tongue out trying to grab me but the skill enhanced senses saved me I hurriedly used earth manipulation to stop it's movements and quickly slither to it,I opened my mouth wide open and spat out posionous fumes killing the massive toad and gained mana.
I looked closely at the corpse of the dead toad its top was of green color but it's under belly was red so I used my superior skill Clairvoyance on it.
[Fire-bellied toad]
Superior skill:flame tongue
Extra skill: entangle and Aquatic respiration
'Oh thats pretty cool!'
'but the thing is why did I gain mana?'
"Nigh why did I gain mana when I killed the toad?"
"Host as it is the system of this world.if you gain more mana you will be able to evolve monsters or evolve yourself it is also the system of this world."
"Evolve monsters and I'm able to even evolve myself?that sounds pretty cool!"
"Nigh am I able to consume this?"
"Host is able to consume this and if host consumes it may obtain it's previous skills"
I stared at the corpse of the toad 'obtain skills...i.its fine it won't kill me right...?'
"Host would you like me to cancel your sense of taste?"
"You can do that?!of course!"
"Sense of taste has been cancelled."
I closed my eyes and chomp a big part of the meat,'even if taste buds has been cancelled I still feel disgusted from eating this!'i hurriedly swallowed the entire toad when it entered my mouth it melted which relief me.
"Host has obtained extra skill Aquatic respiration from consuming a fire-bellied toad."
"Awesome!"
After some time i killed more than ten monsters 'these caves are really packed and I can't get over that I ate so many monsters...'i cried silently.
"Would host like Nigh to process extra skills obtained from consuming?"
"Process."
"Host has obtained Aquatic respiration,mana control,mana senses,low pain tolerance,fire manipulation and durability.after host obtained earth manipulation and fire manipulation nigh is able to evolve fire manipulation into geo thermokinesis."
"Oh!a skill can evolve?!"I jumped in delight
•••
"Nigh are we finally here?"I questioned
"Host has arrived at the location nigh will provide you how to find the finster."
"Nigh has found the solution.Host please go towards the corner of the stone wall and use your extra skill earth- manipulation to shape a hole at the corner of the stone wall afterwards proceed into the hole."
"In there you will find a place filled with mud which contains the finster."
"Alright thanks nigh."
"Nigh will provide any information host needs."
I proceeded with the information I got through the stone wall behind it was just like what nigh said muddy looking area.
Walking into the muddy area in the far distance I could see a small figure,it had a small blue hat on its head a monocle spectacle on its left eye a big beard and a pair of largr elf ears.
I was observing it from afar since I was not sure if it's a good idea to go head first,I stared deeply before I asked nigh if it could find a solution to kill it.
"Host nigh has found a way."
"Really!that's good!"
"Host just needs to confront it."
"That isn't the solution I was trying to find?!"
I cried
I swiftly moved towards the finster.
The finster saw me and stared shouting,
"How dare a insignificant animal like you enter my domain!!!"
Seeing the mud creatures appearing one by one there was at least 7-8 of these mud creatures.
All the mud creatures screech "Gloop!cree!gloop!"[these are just random sounds...ha ha..(• ▽ •;)"]
I quickly slithered through the creatures before being caught by one but was easily defeated by me when I spat out posionous fumes the mud creatures screech before letting me drop to the ground.
When I swiftly slithered through all of them,"Ek!You worthless bunch!"the finster screamed.
When I got close enough I entangled the finster making it unable to move "Ack!"
The finster tried using the ability mind control but since I had mind control resistance it had no effect on me.
I bit into it's neck and used posionous fumes to enter into the finster neck it swiftly killed it off.
All the mud monsters turned back into mud,"Host has obtained extra skill mind control and space-time storage.congratulation host."
I jumped in delight that I got the skill.
