The World Serpent

Chapter 14 - 14-Level Up



The Sun already disappeared within the Horizon. The Nightfall ascended to the Sky. The World lost its Golden Bright Light that came from the Heavens. But in the place of the Bright Golden Sun, A Pale Crescent Moon shone like a Silvery Claw in the Night Sky. It was a Beautiful Luna that gave moonlight during the Darkness of the Night.

The Night Sky was Beautiful and Cold. It was full of Starry Bright Starts of Many Colors. The Cold Breeze of the Winds was within the Skies of the Night. It was carrying the Dark Fluffy Clouds with it. The Moonlight from the Pale Crescent Moon engulfed the whole world, Giving Light.

In a Forest within someplace in the Large World. The Sound of Buzzing Insects and Croaking Frogs echoed within the Dark Forest. The Leaves from the Trees rustled with the Cold Winds. A White Mist covered most of the surface of the Forest. It was the Result of the Nightfall.

During the night, Within the Forest was the home of the Small White Snake. It was a Big Burrow covered by Rocky Walls and Rocky Surface. The only entrance the Burrow had was hidden behind a Bush near a Tree, and within this Burrow was a Small White Snake in its Slumber.

The Snake was in its sleeping position. It was Sleeping Peacefully while the Temperature slowly decreased. The Snake began moving its body. The Snake's head rose from the ground and looked around the Burrow. It looked at the Rocky Walls full of Moss and Ferns. It also noticed the decreasing Temperature.

'Hmm?' Persia was still half asleep. She rarely woke up in the middle of the night. She always hunted during the day, but it seems that her schedule was a mess. She didn't realize that it was nightfall. She noticed the strange low temperatures, but she still thought it was early in the morning.

'This is Strange? It's still Night?' Persia thought to herself. She began moving her body, and her curled position changed. She stretched her body and rolled around the rocky surface of the Burrow. It was a habit of hers ever since she woke up in a snake body. She didn't know if it was a good thing, but she was comfortable doing it.

'This is not sunlight...' Persia looked upward towards the Small Hole leading to the Surface. She noticed the light coming from the Hall completely different from the Sunlight. It was clearly not sunlight and look weaker than ordinary sunlight. Persia didn't know what she was trying to say, but the light coming from the small hole was strange.

She stopped looking at the Small Hole and looked around the Burrow. Persia noticed something strange right next to her. It was the Inflatable Persia...

'I Leveled Up.' Persia thought to herself after seeing the Inflatable Persia right next to her. She was still amazed that the Snake Skin looked like her. She didn't know how she shredded her skin, but it was too detailed to be a Normal Snake shred. She slithered around the Snake Skin and investigated it again. 'Nothing new about it.' Persia shook her head in disappointment.

'Notifications.' Persia stretched her body for the second time. She was bigger than before, so Persia noticed that she had gotten heavier. Many Notifications appeared before her sight. She just ignored the Notifications. There was no reason to open her Notification Windows as she already remembered everything that happened before she fell into slumber.

'I'll open my Attribute Status.' Persia thought to herself. She already had 10 points, and she would repeat what she had done after she Leveled Up. The Attribute Status Window appeared in front of Persia. She began reading it and her head nodded in understanding after reading all of it.

'As expected, the Attributes increased by 4.' Persia nodded in satisfaction after Persia saw her current attribute increased. The Theory she made was correct, and it was simple. But as Persia thought about it, A Strange thought appeared within her mind. 'Aren't I getting too strong?'

Persia didn't know if she was a Strong Creature. But there was one fact that could help her measure her current power. Even if she was a Small Baby Snake, She managed to survive getting chased by an Eagle. It was a Good Feat for someone like her, A Small Baby Snake in the Middle of Nowhere.

'This is good... I'm getting stronger as I Level Up. I need to keep up the pace.' Persia thought to herself while staring at her Notification Window. She didn't open it and just ignored it. She was getting stronger and stronger as she levels up. She was becoming an Irregular SNake. She could get overpowered by focusing on only 2 Attributes for balance. But such a tragedy was not a good thing for future implications.

'Allocate 5 Points to Strength and 5 Points to Dexterity.' With the Order being given. Persia's body shone with the typical bright light. She was already used to the strange effects of over-increasing her attributes. She knew that there was a good reason why her body was shining brightly.

Multiple Notifications echoed within her mind. It was the news about her allocation of points towards the two Attributes.

[5 Points allocated to Physique...]

[5 Points in Physique converted into 15 Strength, 25 Vitality, and 10 Defense.]

[Strength: 29->44]-[Vitality: 43->68]-[Defense: 23->33]

[5 Points allocated to Dexterity...]

[5 Points in Dexterity converted into 25 Agility, 15 Speed, and 10 Coordination.]

[Agility: 66->91]-[Speed: 44->59]-[Coordination: 33->43]

'*Sigh* I don't have to do this, but I feel an Unlimited Powaa coursing through my Snake Veins.' Persia thought to herself. She didn't know why she was doing strange actions, but it was fun for Persia. Persia felt more Durable, Stronger, and Faster than before. She felt like she could Easily destroy anything, although it was just an illusion by the good feeling that traveled in her body.

'My Agility is almost near the Threshold. I wonder what kind of skill I would gain?' Persia thought to herself while watching the results of her Points allocation. She was curious about what skill she would gain if her Attributes passed the threshold. There was only one way to find out.

'Now that I think about it, My Health and Stamina are connected to my Vitality. It seems that 1 Vitality equals 5 Health.' Persia nodded in understanding while staring at her current status. Her Health gained another hundred. The last time she saw her Health, It was 215, but now the Health was 340. She got more durable than before. Persia was quite proud of this fact.

'Anyway, it's time to clean up the mess.' Persia thought to herself. She slithered towards the Inflatable Persia. She bit the Head of the Inflatable Persia and drag it towards a part of the Burrow. She traversed the Burrow while dragging the Inflatable Persia. It was quite easy for Persia as she was strong and had a lot of stamina.

She arrived at the part of the Burrow. There was many Inflatable Persia's in front of her. She got them from Leveling Up. Persia didn't know where to put the Inflatable Persia, so she just put them in the corner of the Burrow. After putting the Inflatable Persia at the corner. Persia went back to the Hall.

'I guess it is nightfall.' Persia thought while staring at the small hole. It took her a while to realize, but she wasn't losing time. Persia slithered back at her original spot and curled her body. She tried to fall into slumber, but she couldn't continue with her slumber.

'I can't sleep...' Persia sighed in disappointment. She could take a nap, and she was forced awake. She already finished her slumber, so Forcing herself to sleep was a bad idea. She looked around the Burrow with a Bored look plastered on her snake face. She couldn't do anything other than to stay in the Burrow.

'Why not take a stroll. I could hunt the forest during the night.' Persia had an idea within her mind. It was a Bad Idea, but it was a Good One. She didn't know what she was trying to say, but she wanted to take a stroll. Persia had thought within her mind. Was it Good or Not?

'I could hunt strange small creatures that could give me more Biomass than normal ones.' Persia nodded at herself with this fact that wasn't a fact. She was getting stranger as time passes by. Talking to Herself was probably the result of being alone. She began moving her body and slithered towards the Main Tunnel.

Slithering through the Main Tunnel. Persia traversed through the rocky surface of the Main Tunnel. There were many tunnels around her, but the Main Tunnel leads to the Entrance. She wanted to leave the Burrow and take a look at the world during the night. She also didn't plan on activating her camouflage as there was no use in doing it.

'Titles, I wonder how I get them?' A Strange thought appeared within Persia's mind. It was about the Titles. She only had one title, which was the It's Fucking Raw. Although it was useful for her adaptability in the Forest. She was worried about not getting titles during her adventures. She expected Titles to be hitting her but ever since the First Title. It was mostly in silence...

'Let's investigate that problem later. For now, let us see the world in darkness.' Persia didn't really see the night before as she was getting chased by the Creature, It was pure darkness, and she didn't see the whole world in its purely night form. The Predator pursuit was more like a nightmare for Persia.

Persia arrived at the entrance of the Burrow. There was a small hole in front of her covered by small leaves. She slithered through the hall and found herself within a Bush that covered the Entrance. She ignored the Bush and slithered out of it. As she Exited the Bush, The Moonlight shone through her snake face.

'So this is the night in its pure form.' Persia thought to herself as she stares at the beautiful starry night sky. The Pale Crescent Moon shone its moonlight to the Forest, and Persia also noticed fireflies giving dotted lights in the Forest. It was Truly Beautiful, and it was also the first time Persia felt peace seeing the night.

She was always hiding with the Burrow she calls home. She was afraid to go out of her home during the night as Predators were lurking nearby. She wanted to have the confidence to traversed the whole world in a time of darkness. She looked at the Dark Forest and Remembered the Accident.

'Let's start the Night Hunt.' Persia had a smile plastered on her snake face. She stared at the Pale Crescent Moon in the Heavens.. This will be the start of her life, where she won't be afraid of the darkness of the night.
