"Congratulations you have gained a level!" finally it took me forever but I have finally reached level 2.

  The older Beholder's let us outside after three whole days in the cave we were born in.

  When I first stepped outside or should I say when I first floated it was the first time I truly realized that I am not on earth anymore but a completely different world.

  The scenery before me was truly something out of a story, a forest with huge trees, strange creature roaming around, and I can swear I saw a fairy flying around.

  Anyway, something else happened when I first got outside actually the strangest thing of all but something that happens in reincarnation stories a lot.

  I got an introduction to this world, yeah crazy right?

  Anyway the introduction "Welcome to your new life in this world called Inova, I hope you will be happy because not many get a chance for a new life with their memories intact, as a present I granted you an ability of the mighty status! Be happy! Well, that's all bye bye!"

  Signed god of Inova.

  Crazy right, and somehow that god pisses me off, I mean why the hell am I an eye...beholder?

  "Sigh"

  Guess I got to live with what I got, I can't sulk around forever now can I, oh right I leveled up lets see.

  "Status" I speak in my mind and a floating screen shows up.

  Name: None

  Gender: Female

  Race: Beholder

  Level: 2

  Souls Consumed: 5

  Health: 60/60

  Mana: 110/110

  Skills: None

  My stats went up by ten I guess that's okay for a starter level right...I hope.

  When the other smaller beholders and I got thrown out of the cave I was lost at first, I had no idea what to do I just floated in place and watched the scenery before me.

  But I snapped out fast and decided to observe the others, the first thing after few hours of my observing I noticed that I was not hungry nor did the other beholders hunt.

  But then I saw one of the beholders floating towards a small pond, inside the pond were some strange looking creatures that looked a lot like frogs when I checked their name it said "Dragwenirud" yeah...I decided to call them frogs.

  Anyway, when I first noticed this I thought that beholders actually need food but the strange thing is when the young beholder got close enough it just strangled the frog with its tentacles.

  If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  When the frog died a dim green light floated from its body, the beholder moved its tentacle and sucked the light and moved on.

  I remembered my status screen, there was "Souls Consumed" there.

  I tested that theory on my own prey I also hunted at the same pond and managed to strangle a frog, it felt weird.

  Anyway like the last time a dim green light rose from the frogs body, I moved one of my tentacles and it got sucked in.

  When I opened my status screen I checked the consumed souls tag and yeah I was right one consumed soul was added.

  I kept strangling the poor frogs till I gained level 2 but nothing then the increased stats was added I hoped for a skill, oh well guess ill keep on killing these poor frogs for now.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Five days passed and I should say I have level up pretty nicely also I decimated the frog population, forgive me frogs.

  "Status" I chant in my mind.

  Name: None

  Gender: Female

  Race: Beholder

  Level: 7

  Souls Consumed: 35

  Health: 120/120

  Mana: 170/170

  Skills: Lightning touch.

  It seems I level up on five souls consumed that actually really helpful.

  I also gained a skill, lightning touch, now I can coat my tentacles in lightning and shock, my enemies, tho I still didn't get a chance to use it on a real opponent other than the frogs also it consumes 5 mana for each tentacle.

  The older beholders didn't even come outside the cave to check up on us, but I was correct we beholders don't need food or water, tho for some reason, they like to play in water often.

  The only thing a beholder needs is a soul to consume nothing more.

  I look around me but there isn't any frog left near our cozy little cave, hmm should I go inside the forest?

  I don't think its a great idea, but there just isn't anything to hunt anymore.

  "Sigh" off I go.

  Will try to make longer chapters.

  Enjoy
