Chapter 2 - Birth

[I think you should be glad you're not a worm or a bug, but a reptile.]

You're probably right, but I think I should still look at the status and a moment later my status appeared in front of me.

special material:0]

Hmmm, I'm just insignificant! Well I'm in an egg, so I have yet to grow up and started to analyze what I'm going to do next. 

- System, tell me how to get experience, I said.

[To get experience points you need to kill other creatures, complete quests or get new titles, after you reach the maximum level you can evolve using the accumulated biomass points].

- What are these "biomass points"?

[Okay, biomass is a material obtained from destroyed monsters that is used to evolve other monsters. This material has special properties that can change the shape and characteristics of monsters, allowing them to adapt to new environments and become stronger. There is also a special material and it will affect your evolutionary paths. ]

- I see, so I can not stay a weak monster and become strong, that's cool, but how do I earn experience as a weak monster? Ah, System, tell me the average level on this floor.

[Request accepted... Analyzing... Attention! The average level of the monsters here is 30]

- What?! How am I supposed to get experience in a place like this, it's literally hell! - and as if I'm indignant, the system responds.

[Don't worry, please, these monsters can't even analyze you, because you are so weak that their system won't even recognize you as a monster, and you can be compared to cockroaches, although they also have a system, but they just can't evolve, because they are being eaten faster than they gain levels ].

How dare she insult me. I didn't realize I was so weak, so I'm gonna have to do something about it. Why am I so calm, even though I died and then became a lizard? How did I die? Probably from overwork, I analyzed the situation and asked the next question.

- System, do you know how I ended up on the seventh floor and there's a possibility that I'm a lizard?

[As for how you got here, I can only assume your parent was strong enough to make a masonry unit, and as for the second question, you can go higher, but at your current strength level, I think you'll die before you get to the top of the floor.]

I have a parent, I hope she's nice and doesn't eat me and-- Wait, if this is a clutch, then I'm not alone and there are other eggs around me?! I don't know. I can only check in 23 hours. 

- System, why is my mana not available?

[Your body doesn't have a mana core, so it can't store mana from your breath]

- System, are there other people? Just like me?

[Unfortunately, I can't have that information, but I can assume there are others like you]

I see, apparently she's my personal system and can't know anything that isn't her responsibility. 

- Hey, system, why don't I have a name?

[Because no one knows you yet, no one fears you, no one idolizes you, and therefore no one has given you a name. And your previous name has no weight in the monster society. So the user should consider a life as a monster]

Uggh, did she seriously say to discard the last part of yourself without any doubts? I'm n-not ready for that kind of change, at least not right now... What have I got to lose though? There's nothing else but my humanity, so I can enjoy my upcoming second life in the Teren world. I'll be strong enough to topple mountains and human states. Speaking of people.

- Hey, system, how many nations are there in this world? 

[Okay, there are 6 major nations in total:

The Kingdom of Feskoyra: This nation is founded on the ideal of goodness, justice and mercy. Its people strive for perfection and believe in and worship the power of the gods.

Empire of Evia: This is a powerful nation where serfdom and power reign supreme. Its inhabitants believe in and worship the power of demons, who may not be entirely honest or morally correct.

Skydor Alliance: A nation where the inhabitants dedicate their lives to protecting and fighting for nature. They have a close connection to nature and strive for balance and respect for the environment.

Cult of Ukrington: This is a society in which everyone strives to develop and utilize magic. Their ideology is that magic is the key to all knowledge and wisdom.

The Republic of Grear: An enterprising nation where free trade and the pursuit of wealth accumulation and prosperity is the main idea.

Ocran Union: A nation that values courage, strength, and martial skills. Their ideal is to serve in defense of their nation and to be faithful to their military duty]

24 hours later

[User, wake up, you have an assignment]

А? There's something wrong with me, like I need to go out.

[Task:

Get out of the shell.

Reward: 10 biomass.

Failure: death. 

Deadline: 10 minutes]

Wh-why death for failure?! А? I can finally feel my body, and I can realize where my head is and where my tail is.... I HAVE A TAIL!? That's great. Come on, Netsuya, pull yourself together and start pushing your face out into the world. Come on, it's so hard to do. Why don't you push off the bottom and do it again? It's worth a try, and one, and one, and two, and three-- Ouch! It's harder than I thought, maybe I can do it with my skills. 

[Egg

Hp: 5/5]

- System, show me my skills

[Skills:

Active: lunge, bite

Passive: stealth, low regeneration, fast running]

- Show me a description of the bite.

[Bite deals 5 damage for the cost of 2 sp.]

Oh, that'll do it, bite. And some energy started flowing into my jaws and I felt strong, that's the power, ha ha! Okay, now let's try to break through the shell.

[Sp: 9/9 hunger, 7/9 fatigue]

[3 minutes left]

Why does time go by so fast? Yay, I got it, now let's get out. I helped with my paws. A minute later, I was breathing fresh air in some big hole. 

[Mission accomplished]

Reward: 10 biomass]

Oda, I've already gotten 10 biomass, that's so cool, but I should see what's around me. And what I saw was a small pile of eggs and one of them had already been penetrated. I have a good , but immoral idea , and on my face lizard was seen a terrible smile .

[Assignment: Brother Killer

Reward: 1 special evolution material
