In the various parts of this ancient land, after 14 years of staying still, the different cocoons started shaking and various unnatural signs were taking place around these cocoons.
Various situations can be observed around the cocoons as the cocoons were being broken open by hands filled with scales,
cocoons becoming thin and invisible sticking to the bodies of the children like the previous boy,
cocoons bursting into flames and becoming ashes,
cocoons becoming frozen like ice and shattering into numerous fragments,
cocoons becoming small and disappearing into the child's mouth,
starlight spreading out from the cocoon bursting it open.
The light surrounding one of the cocoons became dimmer and darkness filled it taking the place of the light. Suddenly the cocoon disappeared and the child appeared surrounded by a dark aura like a cloth,
Five-coloured light surrounded one cocoon and the child appeared filled with a five-coloured aura like a cloth covering its body
A sweet melody filled one cocoon whereby the surrounding plant grew magically and covered the cocoon eventually revealing a body covered with plants like cloth
A blood-coloured light spread out inside one cocoon causing the cocoon to eventually burst out revealing a child with blood-colored light surrounding it.
In various bizarre and abnormal ways, several other children who had become teenagers were starting to come out of the womb-like situation. But the even more unusual thing was that they were not confused or filled with wonder like any normal children after birth or like the previous kid who was observing everything with a curious eye and had to learn everything the hard way.
It was as if these teenagers had some understanding of their own situation indicating that they were all reincarnators with some past memory in them.
They easily started walking upright, many of them even had ways to create clothes using the surrounding plants and materials which they wore on their bodies.
Many of them used strange auras and ways to hide their bodies.
Some of them were even carrying strange artifacts with them.
They started observing their bodies and their surroundings as if sensing something and started moving in different directions as if they had some goal in mind.
These teenagers all had different auras and personalities and each of them was acting uniquely.
Some were brutally slaughtering animals around them.
Many of them were collecting various unique plants, fruits, and vegetation to study them, and some were taming animals and beasts around them.
Most of them only moved around to collect food and water while spending the rest of the day sitting cross-legged or in strange postures with changing hand postures doing some strange and unique internal actions.
The variety of sudden activities of these different beings in their teenage form slowly started disrupting the harmony of nature in this ancient land. As the disruption of the harmony of the land increased, the pace of the destruction of the land due to the spatio-temporal turbulence outside also started. It seemed that the disharmony reduced the ability of the ancient land to withstand the strong corrosion of the spatio-temporal turbulence.
These teenagers were divided into the various parts of the ancient land equally with ample distance between any two ones. It was almost as if the guiding forces of this land did not want these teenagers to face each other further disrupting the balance of the land.
But these disturbances and their effects were unknown to our boy whose face has grown to appear even more strikingly divided by two contrasting shades, one side illuminated with a soft, light hue, while the other was cloaked in a deep, dark tone, creating a mesmerizing and mysterious effect.
This boy at the age of 14 years had already won over all the strong animals except that old monkey in his demarcated safe territory. So, he could easily enjoy the delicacies of this part of the land even having to eat various glowing fruits that the strong animals guarded from time to time spending his time like a king.
But, the boy had very little interest in enjoying these delicacies and slowly getting stronger over time as his mind was filled with the intoxicating fruits and their effect of providing a sudden increase in strength.
The time that he spent searching for that fruit seemed to have even deepened his desire to get that fruit. Even the allure of newly discovered glowing fruits, with their tantalizing flavors and mysterious powers, couldn't captivate our boy's attention like the intoxicating pull of that pear-shaped fruit.
Over the course of four long months, he returned to the same trees again and again, hoping to find signs of new fruit. But despite his patience, the trees remained barren, as if the fruit would take an eternity to grow. The endless waiting filled him with anxiety, pushing him to venture even deeper into the dangerous territories in search of that elusive fruit.
With each journey into this perilous land, he grew more attuned to its dangers. He learned to use the rocks and trees to his advantage, defending himself against attacks from the shadows. His experience in navigating these treacherous paths sharpened his instincts, but it also fueled his determination to find the fruit, no matter the cost.
One day, he stumbled into a trap set by another creature—an enormous spider. Though he had initially noticed the nearly invisible web, curiosity got the better of him, and he reached out to touch it. In an instant, the trap was sprung. Threads shot out from the web, binding his body tightly, leaving him hopelessly entangled. Even though his instinct warned him the moment he touched the web, he could not react in time leading to this result of being stuck to the spider web.
As he struggled, the spider slowly appeared in his vision. The monstrous spider loomed over the landscape like a nightmare coming to life. Its massive, armored body glistened with an eerie sheen, dark as the deepest shadows. Eight long, jagged legs, each as thick as a tree trunk, moved with a terrifying grace, making no sound on the ground beneath. The creature's eyes, a cluster of malevolent red orbs, glowed with an unholy light, surveying its surroundings with a predatory hunger. From its cavernous maw-dripped venom, the drops hissing as they hit the ground, burning through soil and stone alike. Its web, a vast network of silken traps, stretched out like a sinister labyrinth, waiting to ensnare any unsuspecting prey.
Seeing this, our boy felt fear and despair but he still struggled trying to free his body not giving up until the last moment.
Screech!
The spider came close and opened its large maw making a loud screech as if showing its dominance to its prey.
Suddenly, the sky darkened as if a storm had swept in with a dark cloud, casting an ominous shadow over the area. Without warning, a massive claw descended from the sky with incredible speed, seizing the spider in its iron grip and flying off. Despite its formidable size, web, stingers, and venom, the spider was helpless against the force of its attacker. It screeched in fury and terror, but within seconds, the sound faded into silence. In the distance, a hawk-like creature could be seen soaring through the sky, quickly vanishing from sight.
Our boy remained trapped, desperately trying to free himself hoping no other predator discovers him before he frees himself. He did not want to stay trapped facing the unknown. He bit at the threads, pulled with all his strength, and scratched with his nails. Only his sharp nails managed to make the slightest dent in the web. Determined, he continued clawing at the threads, inching closer to freedom with every scratch.
After a few hours, he could finally free his hands, he started using nails in both hands to scratch other threads.
Despite his desperate attempt, it took him a whole day to completely free himself from this web showing the tenacity of these webs. The real danger of the land now became even more apparent to him as he realized even stronger animals had far stronger predators.
He immediately left this area full of traps.
He slowly calmed down and settled in some dark hidden corner which he felt was safe to rest.
He started becoming more dependent upon his instinct which had helped him in various situations.
But, this scary situation with the spider and its web trap opened his eyes as he realized that even with strong instinct being unable to react to the situation in time is still fatal.
As he reflected upon his encounter, he recognized that the spider was the most bizarre and the strongest of the animals that he had seen ever since he attained this body. But, the spider was not even able to struggle before that flying creature.
This episode further strengthened his resolve to become even stronger, strong enough to at least protect himself. Currently, he was hoping on the fruits to make himself stronger.
His struggles caused him to feel tired even though he did not get any injuries from this.
Fortunately, he still had those magical fruits with unknown effects in his skin bag. So, he started his 'food experiment' right there in the night waiting for the side-effect of the fruit while thinking about solving traps like those strong silk threads if he faced any in the future.
He then searched for any sharp object around the area like sharp stones and collected some silk threads, to experiment with cutting the threads. He found the more sharper the object was the less time he had to take in cutting the thread.
This was the first time he felt the need for a weapon.
He thought of all the fights he fought with the stronger and stranger animals. He realized the ones who were stronger and difficult to beat had sharp fangs and teeth. The grievous wounds he suffered had all come from strange animals that had certain parts of the body that were sharp like weapons.
He only won most of the fights because of his brute force by overwhelming the opponent with strength.
He looked into his own body to realize he did not have any sharp part in his body that he could use as a weapon which disappointed him.
He tried making different sharp stone weapons or fangs and teeth of other animals as a weapon to fight stronger animals. But whenever he experimented fighting with animals trying to throw these weapons or wave them to face their claws, these weapons easily broke or he could not make good use of the fangs and teeth which frustrated him.
