Not in a nest, huh? Murai thought, Are there some predators? What about the duck that laid this egg?
<div>
<div>
This feels strange and...well, better than being a rock. I wish I was kidding, but... Nah. He thought to himself, noticing claw marks all around the outermost layer of the egg. It was dirty, laying in a bush for an unknown amount of time, but otherwise intact of any cracks. Something had poked it though, having some fun with this egg in an unknown past. Whatever it was, that created these claw markings, was no longer present.
<div>
<div>
It seems this egg was snatched by some predator from the nest. Murai smirked. Not like I complain about being out of the way of the nest. Having freedom and no mother around is indeed better. The family is... negligent. What I would do if it wasn''t though? What... ducks family are like? Wait... No!
I can''t imagine following the natural way of nature. It can disappear, again. Thank... nobody. No Gods, pricks.
<div>
<div>
Still no message? Should I break out of this egg as a whole or what? Murai assumed the Will of the Battleworld would give him the call of success. There was also that reward or something that piqued his curiosity all those days ago.
<div>
<div>
<div>
So clumsy... This will take some time. He complained in his head, but to his surprise, he couldn''t get up. Wriggling his body, he fell down completely, bearing the weight and feel of the ground.
things do this shit? W-walking... I mean. Am I a tortoise that can''t flip itself when— Wait? What?!” He screamed on instinct.
speaking out loud. High-pitched quacks went from his beak instead of words of his mind.

[Congratulation!] the mechanical voice cheered, sounding forced and dull. [You took the first step in this world. It is a clumsy one, but a step nonetheless]
<div>
[Getting out of the eggshell: Successful!]
<div>
[Rewards: Strength, Dexterity, and Vitality +10. A further section of the information about attributes will be stabilized in your soul in a bit of time]
<div>
<div>
[The next Major Step shall be achieved next]
<div>
[Goal: Reach the first evolution]
<div>
<div>
[Rewards: Increased attributes. Improved Species aspects and your first sub-species properties will strengthen your life. Added species abilities and further hope of bettering your life will give you a nice edge]

<div>
Oh, those numbers feel great, even at zero. Rewards... This seems like some sort of game. What does evolution suppose to be in that word or context? He thought, figuring it was the end of the message. There was no indication of what to do next. The goal was just to reach something he had no idea of bearing.

chance. It might not be as familiar a time as usual, yet the world might be similar to many of his past lives, albeit without the duck part.
<div>
strived the universe, so to speak. Evolution could be comparable to the Bloodlines that he had as a demon, or Pranja, a power that he had as a person in the Sky full of blissful heights.
<div>
Wait a second. I think I get it. Numbers. Levels. These. Evolutions seem to be involved in that.
<div>
<div>
So far.

improvement of his Dexterity and Strength, he was able to do so better. Stepping and turning quicker was now possible, but his center of gravity was still rather lackluster, so he stumbled from time to time, hitting his head on the ground.

I do have the numeral value of by Wisdom at 100. Is that great? Stupid? Masterful!? What''s up with the attributes and their number if their improvements are so significant? I already woke up with that number, so I bet it''s already affected by my soul, so there is there something else about them than this voice told me? Murai wondered.

Huh? What does this cat think it does? I will butcher you like no duck ever could! Don''t touch my damned home. Murai thought, panicking inside his egg.
