[Egg Bomb obtained!]
The glowing notification floated in front of him, but he barely had time to read it because—
HIS LIFE WAS STILL IN DANGER.
The giant snake was still slithering after him, its forked tongue flickering, fangs glistening with venom. His tiny chicken legs were working overtime, kicking up dust as he ran for dear life.
"What the hell am I supposed to do with an egg?!"
He was a chicken, not a soldier! Did the system expect him to throw it?!
Another hiss. The snake lunged again. Too close. He could feel the wind from its snapping jaws.
"Screw it! I don't even know what this does, but I'm using it!"
He focused on the item, and suddenly, like an instinct buried deep in his chicken brain, he laid an egg.
Plop.
A perfectly round, white egg rolled onto the ground behind him.
"...Huh?"
The snake crashed into it.
BOOM!!!
A fiery explosion erupted from the ground, sending dirt and flames flying everywhere. The shockwave nearly threw him off balance, but when he looked back—
The snake was hissing in agony, its scales scorched, smoke rising from its body.
It didn't die. But it sure as hell looked messed up.
His tiny chicken eyes widened.
"Wait… this is amazing!"
He had just pooped out a grenade.
A grin spread across his beak. "Oh-ho-ho… so THAT'S how we're playing this, huh?"
For the first time since waking up as a chicken—he felt hope.
He turned around to face the snake, which was still writhing in pain.
Time for payback.
"Alright, you scaly bastard. Let's see how you like…"
He clenched his tiny chicken butt.
"…A SECOND SERVING!"
Plop.
Another egg dropped.
BOOM!
The explosion rocked the ground again, sending the snake tumbling. This time, it didn't get up.

He stared at the notifications.
Then at his chicken body.
Then back at the notifications.
He had just killed a giant snake… by laying eggs.
A slow, maniacal chuckle left his beak.
"This… this is the stupidest thing ever.
And I love it."
