《RED SCALE》
prolouge
In the universe there are infinite planets on those planets were every brand of life and even a few that were living without life but governing over all of them was the system a magic system made up by the first gods to rank all life.
In the east end of the north east galaxy sat a small world barly a moon. It sat spining in a clockwise rotation around a sun that was tinted red.
The planet was called stalone it had 6 continent each coverd in arktic snow, burning sand and lush forests in these ecosystems lived a very diverse population from elves to goblins dragons to slimes. each and every one new one thing and that was the only way to servive was to raze your leval and the only way to raze your leval is to kill.
The continent of airz has many forests and lakes but sat on the edge of a forest sat a river in the clearing that opend between the two sits a villige only a handfull of huts that were made from sticks and animal hide each one barly over 4 foot each one had blood and less savary liquids scatered around.
In bloody piles were the mutilated bodys of kobolds the smalll red scaled monsters had been torn to bits there thin scales looking like ripped tissue paper.The only sine of there killers were a handfull of red pawprints scaterd around the bodys.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
the largest building in the villige was a large tent adorned with the bones and skulls of animals the tent itself was a hojpoj of furrs and pelts.at the door flap was a swamp of blood 7 kobolds lay dead outside 6 were small and had lighter smaller scales. they were females of the spices eachone was lightly hurt as if only one hit had killed them.
the 7th was the opposite a strong body was coverd in red scales in a death grip wa held a stone axe and a shield made from a tutule shell that was cracked and splinterd.this kobold would have towerd over its kin still only being 5.4 its body was shredded so badly its organs were in a pile at its feet.
the bodys made a wall that blocked light into the tent the tent had light scratches and tares but it seemed like the inside was untouched inside the tent sat on a blanket of pelts and 5 eggs eachone coverd in a red patterns and alll a foot high.
A pair of yellow eyes watched the camp as a ruff pink tong cleaned a deep cut along a paw the cow sized wolf turned with a soft wine slowly loaping into the undergrowth of the woods a light trail of blood was left in its wake.
in the tent one of the eggs shook with a light knock a crark aperaed and with a more vilont shake a large crak split the eggs surfis with a final shake a small lizard esk head broke into the open air with a soft cry the red scales flashed in the meger light as the eyes opend and then the first think in this new lifes eyes was seen

The box hanging infront of the young kobolds eyes made the small monster jump back the shell still covering its back shattering and making the kobold skid along the packed earth still coverd in the yoke.A small cry left its mouth as hunger tore throuth its tiny mind.
laying still for 1 hour the feeling did not go away the ake becomeing a pain that made the kobold cry out in pain , with small movements the kobold bagan to crawl the smell of blood atracting the small monster.With a gargantion effort the young monster climed the pile of bodys snuffling along the kobolds snout found a bloody wound and began to drink.
After a few drops of blood made it down the kobolds neck a new window opened up startaling the small monster off of its perch and onto its back.

The screen disapeared and with that the kobold returned to eat its fill.The young kobold eat and eat untill its small stomac was distended. With a satisfide yip he dragged his way back to the remains of its egg as the eggs around were the only sourse of heat in the room so the young monster was warm and well fet as it slept.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
The next day was the same although the kobold had almost doubled in size leaving it at just under 2 foot and it now had the ability to walk if only for short distanses the tail coming from its lower back was now long enogh to be used to balnce.
As the kobold made its way to eat small crack could be herd tho the small monster didnt react to focused on trying to chew through a scale with its small dull teeth.the cracks became louder and louder until a small yep was herd. in curiosity the eating kobold looked over and saw that the smallest of the remaining eggs had been broken and in its place sat a small femlae kobold with pink tinted scales and soft red eyes.
walking over now much more shore footed the kobold sniffed at the samller monster with a light squeak the female kobold shrank back in fear but the larger monster did not even pause.with a sniff the larger kobold walked back twords its food.
After 30 min of eating the kobold felt a slight presure on its tail looking back he sas the female kobold was lightly chewing on his tail with a yip of anger the male kobold flicked its tale sliding the female kobold to the other side of the pile of bodys. With a happy yip the pink obold began to lick at the dried blood until she jumped back in fear of an unsean enamy.
The male kobold relised she must have seen the blue box he did after eating with that thought the box showed up agian.

Eat for 3 days in a row to became fully grown 1/3
The kobold only flinched at the box as he now understood that they probly woudnt hurt him.The two kobolds eat there fill untill the female began to feel sleepy so she crawled back to her egg.The male eat for a little while he watched the female kobold sleep.
waking up on day 3 had a number of problems for the male kobold the first was that the female kobold had moved in the night so she was curled up against him. The second was the smell that filled the air it burned the kobolds nose as he stood and relized he was now taller and his scales were darker and thiker.
walking twords the food the kobold sneezed as the smell grew worse the closer he got ,not being able to stomach it the kobold disided to look for somthing else to eat his eyes were drawn to the other eggs.

Walking around the room the male kobold ran his clawed hands over the wooden frame. The sticks were crossed and re crossed making th animal fur on the outside almost unseeable
with a snort the kobold turned he watched the eggs female kobold sleeping her chest rising and falling. The kobld looked away for some reason when he thought of eating the small pink kobold it didn''t seem right.
The male kobold looked at his passed food source the body were now covers in buzzing black flys which only sped up the rot.
Walking twords the remains of his egg he saw that he was un able to fit on the platform the eggs were placed on his body now almost 4 foot in length with his tail adding on an additional foot.
Lying down on the ground the kobold closed his eyes . The sound of something falling woke the kobold who leaped to its feet instinctually flexing its claws and snarling.
looking over at the pile of body''s where the sound has come from he saw that the body had shifted and now there was a gap open letting in moon light and fresh air.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
Why he was wondering what to do a soft squeak broke his concentration . The female kobold was looking up at him her eyes showing fear.
with a snort the kobold moved forward his smaller companion close on his heals.
Pushing his way out of the tent the first thing that caught his eye was a large creature infront of him. The thing resembled a beetle tho it was the size of a dinner plate it''s large front claw dripping a clear liguid that smoked as it touched the grass.
The bug jumped at the kobold hissing a battle cry. Having never been in a fight before the kobold took the charge straight into the chest the bug pinning him to the ground as it moved up his chest twords his neck.
with a movement born of fear and instinct the kobold lashed out with its clawed hand. Sending the beetle skidded along the grass to land on its back it''s 6 legs kicking at the air.
Without a second of hesitation the kobold grabbed a near buy stone and slammed it on the soft underbelly of the bug.
Once,twice three time the stone was brought down after the third hit the bug stopped moving.
A blue box appeared infront of the kobolds eyes but it was ignored as a roar of joy tore out of the kobolds mouth tho it was fairly underwhelming.
