《The Journey of a Serpent》 Prologue I slowly woke up to be greeted by a completely darkness, I couldn''t feel nor move my body at all. I began to panick as to what and why I am here up until I was greeted by a blue screen...
Welcome to the world of Orbis! The last step of installation have been complete! You can now choose your race!
My mind was blank as I look and tried to process what the screen was saying...
Here the list of race you can choose from
Then a screen pop up infront of me with a long list of races, in which I took a lot times before I decided to choose a "Green Viper".
Congratulations, you have now become a Green Viper! Your Body is now in process of creation.
I looked at the scene as I wandered what my new body will be like but before I have time to run into my fantasy a screen appeared again inform of me...
Congratulations, Your body have been successfully created! The great god have offer you a tutorial, would you like to begin?
After I have said "Yes", a flash of light blasted into my eyes as a sorrounding darkness turn into a endlessly terriane of grass.

Tutorial is now completed! In the world of Orbis, you will come across a lot of danger in which you will need nescessary skills and stats that will allow you to survive as well as growth into something even stornger than what you already are.
After I had finished reading the screen, suddenly a flash of light began to shine and my surronding once again turn into the darkness as I fall in my unconsciousness.
I slowly woke up sometime later, and found myself in the darkness once again but this time through I have a body, but a small, thin, and slimly one and i also feel like I was submerged in an unusually warm and calm liquid. I tried to looking around, and focus my senses onto the surronding area, as I continued to poke and touch with my limbless body in which I had found that I was in a some kind of oval thing like a egg. After I knew that I am in an egg I started to smack and tackle the egg shell with my head to breakfree. After, about a hour or two struggling of life and death, then i was able to breaking the egg shell. After I was breaking free from the egg, I spotted many other younglings like myself. As I was lost in throught, a creaking sound of hunger echoed within me and so I started to look around for any sign of anything that could be eat. Thankfully, there was a pile of meats scattered on the ground nearby. without even stopping to think what kind of meat it was, I feasted on the mystery meats and it was delicious. It was the most delicious I have ever eat in my life. Before I knew it, the meats that was before had already disappeared within my stomach but still it was not enough! I want More! More! More! While I was looking out to find any through of meats like these again I had found that the other younglings had fought among themselves for the meats infront of them. After I looked at it now I knew the reason why there were short amount of meats compare to the amount of youngs becuase it was for us to fought among themselves and thoses who won win get the meat while the other one will just die away. Althrough I was hungry as much as the less of them, I won''t be stupid and fight head on becuase that made you leave vulnerable for other younglings to sneak attack on you.
Intelligence increased by 1 point (+1 INT)
After I reading the screen, it is nice to have your stats increased from figuring things out but I have no time for that while now I need to fill my hunger quickly. And so I looked around to nearest meats and that would also be far from the others as possible. After I had found the meats than I sneaking my way there immediatly without the the others noticed. While I was pushing and sneaking toward the meats, there one thing I tired to figure what meats were wealleating but there was nothing come to my head. So I gave up on that and focus on what I was doing. Then..I had arrived and feasted on the meats as fast as I could.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Then I hid among the mosses and tried to hide my presence as much as possible so that I can observe my surronding without being interrupt. What was this, we were in some kind of undergrown hole. It was a underground hole with two diamter width and one meter height and the ground and celling were filled with loots and mosses, I guess it is big enough for a small family of green snakes. As I continuse to observe my surronding, I spotted a elderly snake and his followers who made their way here. It seem that they have noticed me for starting at them for to long. The elder snake and his followers stop and look at us one by one before said something..."ssssssss" but I couldn''t understand what he was saying at first but after a few time listen to him, I was able to to some what assume what he was saying.
Congratulations, You have obtained a Basic Serpenoid Language! This ability allow you to have simple communication with the other serpenoid beings. The higher the ability the more you will the understand and communicate with other serpenoid beings.
Elder snake: Only those who survive will be allowed to go with me to the outside world. After he finished speaking, the fight among the younglings once again took place with a clear intention to kill. While the other younglings were killing each others off I on the other hand hid my self once again among the mosses and I carefully look at the other snakes fighting so that I can use it against them. It seem to me that there were four younglings that could be a threat to me the most was such the biggest youngling snake, it seem that it was confident that it could get rid of all snakes it fought with. Finally, only ten others younglings left, I was sneaking my way out of the hiding place while hid presence and made my way to behind one of the now weaken snake without being noticed and took a bite of the snake tail. The snake noticed my presence after I bit it tail and immediately tried to slam me to the ground with its tail with the hope the that the impact would make me let go of its tail but sorry you don''t have enough power to lift me up in first place so I bit its tail even harder as well as tried to tear apart from the less of its body. Eventually, I was able to tear its tail and body apart and the snake trying to struggle to stay a live a lit longer but I have no mercy and immediately bit into its head and after afew struggling the snake become motionless.
Level UP
Elder snake: Enough and now follow me! Without a second for us to question, the elder and his followers already have gone out of the hole into the outside world. And so many of us started to follow him. We followed him and his followers to the outside. The sight had fasicnated me and the less of younglings, it was lush, green forest, with a little light come through the forest canopy. "Ssss" "Ssss, a forest" The elder once again called to us to get our attention back to him. then... Elder Snake: Here I will send you for you to start your lives and you must remember "Only the strong will survive in this harsh world" after he finished speaking what he wanted to say then head back to the hole once again leave us there. Of course all of us knew what going on here, we had no place to call a home anymore and we will have to live on our owns. And it seem that Etan the largest snake among younglings who was the only one being named by the elder was the first to made a move into the unkown path. After Etan left, the other younglings also left one by one on their own and the only one still remained in the same place after we existed the hole. I had wondered what I should do and where should I go but the most improtant of all what named should I be called?..If I can remember correctly the tutorial said...
Your name changes according to what you are preceived on. Throuh you can of course come with your own name.
Chapter 2 I had wondered what should I do, where should I go and the most improtant of all what should I be called?..If I can remember correctly the tutorial said...
You name changed according to what you are preceived on. Through you can of course come up with your name.
While I was trying to think of what I should do next, suddenly a shadow appeared into my sight. Moving in the long bushes, it was a young man. As soon as I noticed that it was a human my senses told me that I was in danger and immediately I hid myself among the grass. After a while, the man had gone out of my vision and I signed out of relieved and moved myself out of the hiding place. I was wondering what could a man doing in the this forest. Maybe there was a human settlement near by or something, but no matter what is it it could be a danger to me. And so I decided to make my own move and began to head for a water source. Afterall water is essential for life, you can last a week without without food, but not for water.
Intelligence increased by 1 point (+INS)
After I had made my mind up, but I what caught me again was that where was this water source that I was talking about since I had absolutly no idea of my location at all. Eh, Should I go to ask the elder snake but I don''t think he he will be happy about that, I mean he just banished us just a while ago, hmm, I guessed I just have to go somewhere and hope I will find water at least a puddle of water would be enough.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. And just like that I made a move into a unknown path. But as soon as I did, I felt a chill run down my spine cause me to stop on a track. As I felt the sensation, I immediately lowered my snake body onto the grass to hide myself. The fear circulated throughout my whole body, causing my snake body to shiver like crazy. As I was becoming more alert of my surronding. There in the sky, I spotted a giant eagle flying in the sky as if it was a king. I could felt my heart beating like there is no tommorrow and my limbless shiver with no sign of stopping. My brain told me to move and hide somewhere but my body did the opposite. "Kraaa" That moment I thought that my life was going to be ended, I closed my eyes and await for my death... But then I waited for me to feel the pain before dying but it didn''t so I open and I saw that the bird had gone...it left me wondered why it didn''t kill me afterall I thought that it could spot me hiddining from the sky. I gathered myself together and I quickly moved away from that place as fast as my limbless body could.
You are hungry! HP and MP recovery are now disabled.
I didn''t know how long have it been since I started to head for a water source, I was tried and hungry yet I didn''t stop for once. But it seem my body was protesting for me to stop and quickly find any thing to fill my hunger. As I look around for food I spotted a flog, it was drinking water from a beautiful pond. It was if the gods had heard my wish and now here I stood with food that I can eat and the water that could drink. And so I was slowly approching the flog from behind but it seem to have noticed and its started to escape but suprisingly I was able to bite into its back before it was able to jump into the pond. Then I dragged into the land and then I had sunk my fang into it head while it was struggling to be free. After a few minutes the frog stopped and become motionless. Then I blue screen once again appeared before me, but I no time for that now.

As the blood dripped down from its body I moved by dead body out of the open ground into the grass where it could hide me during I was exposing my weak spot while I was eating. I licked the blood lustfully then I swallowed it as the whole, I could feel my muscle pressure and push the flog furthur into my stomach and a wait for it to be disgest. After I was able to fullfill my need, I lay on the grass and closed my sleepy eyes before I fell into in a deep sleep. Chapter 3 When I opened my eyes, it had already become dark. "Ssss" I rosed my aching body up and made way into the water. I sunk my slimy body into the water, it was slightly cooler in her than out in the open. I began to wash out the blood stain from the flog I hunted yesterday, it was one of the most relaxing thing I had ever than since I had born into this world. I looked up at the night sky and saw a bright full moon who was accompanies by a endlessly sea of stars. It was so beautiful that I was complete lost into it. Suddenly, I felt as if I was being watched by something. My eyes swim insearched for any sign of dangers near by but there was nothing not even a sound of insect. It was so unusual that I became so tense. Who was it and What do they want from me? A lot of questions like this ran through me like crazy. And it seem that I got a answer from a unknown voice that I coundn''t hear but it ran through my head... "You had killed my minion! Submit to me or die!" (Mysterious voice) I began to think what minion was the mysterious voice talking about? Like a flash of lighting, I suddenly recall that I have killed a flog that I had ambush and killed but that was yesterday shouldn''t he or she have come and claim my life at that. I don''t get this and so I tried to reason with him. "You mean the flog, I don''t know that it was your..." I was cut off even before I have finished my sentence. "To late you had killed and now you should die!" (Mysterious Voice) Suddenly, a group of five brown frogs no different from the flog that I had killed before but only a little bigger have come out behind the mini waterfall and made it way in the water toward me. After I knew that the mysterious voice would not listen to my reasons and send a group of frog to kill, I begin to move myself out of the water because if i have to fight in the water than I would be at disadvantage. I was out of water and looked back to see whether the flogs would stop, but no they still swam through the water. I had to figure thing out quite quickly otherwise I would be dying fighting with the group of flogs. Suddenly, a idea run through my head. What if I tried to blend with the grass and use stealth would they still come and to kill since I can sneak up on them if they don''t see me. Just like that I went into the long grass and use stealth and began to observe the flogs. While I was observing them I saw their weird movement and behavior which different from the flog that I had killed, their movement were unnautral and seem to move without a mind of their own. I wondered what had happened but before that I need to seperate them apart and kill them one by one. I then used my new skill "Stealth" and made my way behind one of the flog near by and bit into it back but I was pushed back by it strong force.
HP - 10
What was that and how did it become this strong, I mean one killed yesterday was easy to kill. I wondered was the flog in some kind of magic.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. The flog jump toward me break out of its group fromation just like I wanted it to do. I moved backward and ready to strike it. The flog stump on me.
HP - 15
And so this was my chance of end it life, I push myself upward and sunk my teeth into the flog''s face and dragged my fangs down to tear the skin out. It was horrific even for a snake like me to kill like what I just did, blood was splash every where and now the non face flog land hard and died.
Level UP! All Stats increased by 2
I dismissed the screen and moved on to the other flog. I moved quickly to the less alert flog and bit into its small leg and started to drag it to another location that would it easier for me to fight it without open my back to the other flogs. As I tried to dragged it, it tried to jump but because it way lay on its back. I let go of it leg and bit into its stomach instead and just the same thing as I did with the previous flog. I bit futhur into it stomach before I was pulling its stomach open with my fangs.
Level UP! All Stats increased by 2 Stealth Level Up! (5) +12% AGI while using the skill +6% END while using the skill
After I completely teared the flog skins and exposed its internal, I moved quickly to the other flogs. I did the same method as the second flog and quickly to the other two flogs. After I was able to get rid of the other two flogs, I had a half of my HP left and nearly exhaust all my MP but luckly I only have flog left and it seem to have made it way back to the cave behind the mini waterfall. I knew it was stupid idea to follow it, I follow it anyway. Here I sunk my self into the water and tried to swim as fast I could then...
Congratulations, You have obtained (Passive) Swim Level 1, Beginner! Increased AGI while swimming Reduce the water resistance while swimming
Then a message contained a good news have appeared before, I was delighted to see this and so I dismissed it and going back to chase the flog. Finally, I was able to catch up with and here it was standing in wet and rough ground in a cave of a meter wide and height and in the centre there is a bright blue crystal object in the middle of the rock wall. I could felt the odd aura from the crystal, it was full of hate and fear. "How dare you! You fool kill it!" (Mysterious voice) After the voice had given the order the flog then rushed toward me with full force caused to be push back.
HP - 20
Now I only have forty point of HP left and I coundn''t turn back anymore so my only choice was to kill the flog as quickly as I could before my HP go down to zero. The flog rushed toward me once again, I wait for it to come I prepared myself to receive the impact so at least it will reduce the loss of HP and so just like before I was pushed back and lost some of my HP points.
HP - 15
As I was pushed backward I pushed myself up from the ground bit into the neck of the frog and wrapped body around it so if we were to fall then I would received less damage then it does because it hit the ground first so the impact will be absorbed by the frog. After a few seconds, we fell and crashed into the ground.
Due to the impact you lost 24 HP points.
The crashed landing have caused the frog to meet it death but luckly I have a single point of HP left

I wanted to reading the message on the screen but I need to get rid of the dungeon core before it will be able to summon another one of its minion than I would stand no chance against it in this state. I made my way into the crystal and let my fangs broke it then...

Flash When a flash of light shined, Saralissa felt as if her energy had been drained away as she fell into a deep asleep.
When Saralissa arouse from her sleep, she had found out that she no longer need to see with eyes which was weird for her but she was actully happy about it and she also could see everything in 360 degree as long as her it within her dungeon range. Infront of her stood a circular natural cave with a meter long in term of width and height. The cave wall was rugged and weary, they seem to be strong yet so beaten by the elements, cool air had filled every corner here and only a little warmth could had made it way in here from the outside. The ground was damp and this caused the ground to be very slipery. The cave was dark. The cave was seem to be in better condition during the pervious dungeon core in charge of it. When she turned and looked at the entance to the cave, she could see the mini waterfall still there but she couldn''t see anything furthur away from the waterfall, after all it was all but darkness. Saralissa could zoom in and zoom out and she could also move to other section of the cave while she thought about it. For some reason, she felt the lack of emotion because normally in the dark and humid place you would be fear or anxious about your surronding but she did not feel that now. However, she found another limitation was that she couldn''t use the mana to cast spell or use it for her skill, she could touch them and manipulated them as she wish to. Saralissa felt that her instinct told her to gather the mana together and she did just that.
Congratulations, You have Level UP! You had taken your first step as on a path of a dungeon. If food and water are essential for lives then mana is essentail for you as a Dungeon. The crystal is your heart, if it break, you''ll die. You must protect it and to do so you can by summon a minion.

Congratulations, You have obtained a new skill "Dungeon Menu". To acess this menu you have to think about the menu then it will appear before you, there you will have acess to the necessary information for you to sucessed as a Dungeon.
When the screen have appeared out of no where after Saralissa have collected the mana into the crystal, she was secretly delightef by the screen and the content had on it.

After Saralissa looked at the screen she did understand what on the screen was about since her pervious status window do have same properties such as level, name, ect..but not stage, floor, or room. She tried to figure out and then she came to understand that they would be a part of her now dungeon.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Saralissa, started to wonder how could she summon the minion and their food she tried to think about it but nothing had happen so she gave up and turn toward the lying crystal that lay on the rough ground. She tried to remember what the screen said before she tranformed into a dungeon core. It said that could keep her snake body but could she get acess to the body and it seem she was in luck because a screen appeared before.
Warming: If your avatar was destoryed you will transport back into the crystal and you may not be able to acess to your avatar a while unitl you have created a new body. Do you wish still wish to use your avatar? Yes/No
"Yes" (Saralissa) Flash With a flash of light, she was transported into a her snake body. In this body, Saralissa feltthat it was weird because she seem to get used be able to see from all direction and she did not need to feel the coldness and the slipery ground made it harder for her snake to move. Althorugh, she knew she had not time for that but still she want to complain about it. After a few minutes of adjusting to her snake body she gently lifted the crystal and moved it into the back of the cave and hide it at least for now it is thde only way she could protect the crystal. Then she head her way out of the cave and once again into the grass with a idea in her head. When Saralissa entered into the grass, but unlike before she did not use stealth afterall if this body of her was to destory she can create a new one when the time is right. Althrought she did have a plan in mind and it was to collect a small prey and some small plant she could find then bring it back to the dungeon and hope she could summon them in the future. A hour paid since she entered into the grass she did not find any trace of a prey that she through would be suitable minion for dungeon. Instead she found a wide ranges of plants from a grass into the common berries like longan, star fruit, tamarind. Saralissa thrn head back into the cave.

After Saralissa read the screen, she was happy with the result and the fact that was being a dungeon made you grow ten faster than she would ever did if she was still a normal green viper. Saralissa tranfromed back into the dungeon crystal and began her first job as a dungeon she gattered and collected mana into her crystal and the more mana she absorded the bigger her crystal had become. After a while the mana flowed become much slower so she had to wait for a while until the level of mana in the cave become normal again then she began to collect the mana once again until...

After Saralissa finished reading the screen she dimissed it and don''t even bother to read the summon monster since she haven''t encounter a single monster before. Then she started to summon a large amount of grass and moss, she then scattered them in every corner she could. She lost almost a quatre of her mana but she still went on and build a build a meter long and 100 hundred cm width water source from the entrance until the back of the cave. the water was slightly mixed with ground caused it to turn muddy but that alright, this cost her almost a third quater of her mana she left. She still didn''t stop there and continused in building her ideal place. Then she placed many types of berry seeds random across her dungeon. Lastly, Saralissa summon a pair of brown frogs which had used up all the mana she had collected and resulted that she was exhuasted and fainted.
