Chapter 8: Day of birth and trial

  it 's finally hatching day and since i don't sleep i finished the mountain of rock by morning.

  Ever since the sun is up she's released the eggs from her grip and we're waiting for them to finally hatch.

  it doesn't take long to see bumps appearing here and there. After 2 hours they were all out of their eggs

  I have 4 sisters and 6 brothers and they are all 5 times bigger than me.

  mom 'Eat the egg you hatched from' and they started swallowing them. It was slow going because it's their first time swallowing.

  mom 'follow me' we follow her inside the forest'

  after that we're brought trough the forest until we arrive in a clearing surrounded by reptilian people, there were lamias, lizardwoman, ophidians, draconians, hybrids with reptilian traits, crocodiles, snakewoman with four arms, komodo dragons etc..

  anyway it's a big gathering but the strange thing is the fact that we are all snakes well except for me but oh well.

  baby 'why are we all snakes?'

  mom 'because it's the primary form of reptiles and when we evolve it always depends on what we did and ate so eat a lot, the more you eat the more you'll evolve'

  an adult goes to the center of the clearing

  adult 'gather around small children' and all the newborns gather around the adult including me

  adult 'we are now here to start the birth trial of survival of our children, children we are going to leave you here to fend for yourself for the duration of the growth period, on the final day right before sunset we will call you back, if you try to leave the forest we the adults will kill you, now may the birth trial begin now scatter'

  i go my on way and go towards a mana source, i dig a bit to find a mushroom and swallow it

  After that i try finding some prey and i see 5 wolves, i approach them carefully and slash the side of one of the wolves who was a bit far from the others. I activate my curses and all it's blood flows inside me, i leave it and go to the other wolves and make a bit slash at them to eat their blood. When i was done i drag the corpses and start swallowing them.

  after eating my second one i see their is one missing, but the thief left a trail so i first finish eating the 2 corpses i already have and go for the thief. it was one of my brothers he is not finished swallowing it yet so i go behind him grab his tail and insert it inside my mouth, while i do that i grab his tail and insert my claws and activate my curses, blood flows toward me and i keep advancing until finally i swallow him along with the wolf.

  i search for more prey and see a chicken not too far from where i am, i rush at it but it evades and gives me a kick, after that i stopped rushing and waited for it to do the first strike. It comes at me but this time i use my tail to capture it and when i'm done he tries to struggle but can't free itself, i examine where its heart is and plant my claw inside while activating my curse after it's been emptied of all blood i swallow it

  i go towards the place the chicken seemed to guard and i see a lot of nests full of eggs, i swallow some but the parents came back and they aren't really happy about what i just did. right now i'm at a disadvantage because there are 9 of them and they surrounded me.

  i don't wait for them to attack i attack them first, i activate my curses and use everything into hit and run tactics to weaken them, it works pretty well and when they finally can't handle the blood loss and fall i finish them off and swallow them after that i eat the 43 eggs that were left.

  Now night is falling, so i climb a tree and jump from tree to tree and check my surroundings for my last prey of the day and i finally see an enormous source of mana and it turns out it's a sleeping giant boar surrounded by flames i circle it a few times to see an opening and finally i have an idea of what to do. i approach it from behind, insert myself inside her pussy and i crawl my way inside. i leave finger holes each time i grab her flesh to go deeper, i activate the curses so it starts getting bloody, i arrive at what would be considered her womb, i open big wounds with my claws and grab hold of some flesh because the huge overflow of blood could drag me out if i'm not careful.

  it takes 10 minutes to finally dry her up, i get out while keeping the curses active and when i'm out i can see a lot of snakes reunited, 30 in total

  Snakes 'i want it'

  baby 'it's mine' i release a bit of my bloodlust.

  Snakes 'i want it'

  but it didn't scare them off, it seems their instinct took over, i could unleash all of my bloodlust but where is the fun in doing that and now i must play guardian of my own food. My curses are still active and i prepare my hands to form a chop with the tips in front, this way i can make piercing strikes and render elasticity less effective, because it's like a rubber band against a needle.

  They start coming at me but i retaliate instead of evading and use their charge at me to increase the damage i make with my strikes, and those that try to trap me with their bodies would receive a nasty byte that let's me tear their flesh apart because my fangs are like sharp daggers, this continued until all of them got blood loss and couldn't move anymore, i continue sucking them dry while i swallow a few of them until finally they are all dead. Now all i have to do is swallow the rest of them.

  some time before midnight

  finally i'm done with the snakes, all that's left is the boar so i get to it and swallow it.

  after reading that i quickly climb a tree to the top and look around for a big mana source and quickly i see one not too far from here and a bit near the border of the forest. i go there as quickly as possible and there i see a small house. This small house was filled with dimensional mana, but i didn't really care i quickly dig myself a small cave with some additional space in case i grow more then expected.

  i wait until

  I choose the special path because i think the price will be growth points and honestly i don't want to be so over powered, things would become boring pretty fast.

  i think i want all the pair of wings available, all the transformations, the evolved stomach, Limb Regrowth, instinct, contracts, etc

  I think about blood manipulation

  I buy it

  I think i'm done for now

  And I fall unconscious
