3:Growth

The snake looked at its body with surprise. Then looked at the food it prepared and with the heart of not wasting any food, it began to devour everything within a few moments. After eating everything the snake began to clean out everything that discharged from his body from its home and threw it outside where most of the nutrients from the surroundings had been consumed by the tree.

Then snake began to sleep silently within a few seconds. The next day, upon walking up the snake began to follow the routine of hunting something first to have some energy inside his body and then followed the various monkey groups that it had previously followed for free meals.

Like that, the snake followed this routine for a year. The snake grew from a two-meter length to a thirty-meter length with a three-meter wide body. Two horn-like provisions also began to grow on the side of snakes like viper snake which is used for heat sense.

A certain small hill in the forest beside a large lake is covered with purple poisonous most on top of the small hill. A thirty-meter thirty-meter-long three-meter-wide black snake covered in metal-like scales with crimson pupils is coiled around a tall tree with purple flowers in it. It slithered its tongue in the atmosphere to sense the atmosphere within a hundred meters.

The black snake looked at the sun in the sky and thought ( I finally remembered everything from my past life and I finally remember my name, John. To think of things such as space-time travel and becoming a strange creature is a really exciting adventure. But It's much better than spending most of the days working. )

John looked at his retina as data about himself was revealed in front of him.

[ Bloodline Creature(1/4).

Age: 0/100 years.

Race: Snake(adult).

Talent: Endless growth(0%) ]

John looked at the detail represented in front of him with a slight smile. Then he began to summarize most of the things about himself.

He remembers everything from falling into black space on his way to work in the morning to becoming a strange creature that looked like a parasite but was not. He knows most of the abilities about himself like a human who knows how to breathe.

He can live four lives at most and can choose any living species at will to become one of them. But intelligence will be very hard if the species has no thinking capacity and it will be harder at the start because he can adapt a brain like a human with enough time to process information like a human.

But only when the species he is born into becomes adult or more or less the same as a human species. He can think like a human in any species but needs more time to slowly adopt a brain that's suitable for the species he was born into.

Most importantly he can evolve a certain well-known ability of the species he was born into the peak evolutionary possible outcome and somewhat what he desires. It can't be like he became a bird and wished for the ability to breathe in water and he will get the ability. It'll be like the species' most outstanding ability and what he subconsciously needs becomes a talent that he will awaken.

After digesting all this information and knowing about himself. John's imagination began to run wild about thinking about the talents he'd seen in those novels and how to acquire them. But thinking about he's only got four chances and already using one ability he can't help but reconsider his choices.

He concentrated on the most important aspect that he currently doesn't have much information about this world and doesn't know if there are any deviations from species he knows from a previous life or if there are any unique creatures in this world. So the only thing he can do is try to get data on any type of civilization in this world.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

After considering much, he decided to travel and see signs of civilization or find any rare animals in this travel. He can't grow continuously without consequences just with his talent named endless growth. Because technically he can grow endlessly as his talent mentioned but at the cost of his lifespan. Growing beyond the limit of his species limit consumes his lifespan of year for every meter he grows. The talent consumes cell activity to grow so lifespan shortens.

The only way to overcome this is by gaining immortality. It may be harder for others, but he can gain immortality if he finds some living being with this talent in this world. As there are immortal animals in previous life such as some he knows jellyfish and coral reeds. But their immortality varies and is not suitable for him such as jellyfish becoming young again to relive and attain certain immortal traits.

John is certain to find some immortal species. His endless growth talent won't do much without an endless lifespan and he doesn't want to have a short life. He wants to see more, feel more, and experience different scenarios. For all of this short life stands in his way. So immortality is his important goal because he can do more with an unlimited lifespan.

After finalizing his goal, John began to move his giant snake body out of the miasma-filled area and moved toward the lake beside his living area. As he has one more thing to do before departing from here to live a nomadic life.

In a large lake beside the small hill, various fishes swim as they fight for their survival, and a variety of birds in the sky hunting them sustain their daily life. A huge blood-red tree with various blood-colored fruit grew on the small island in the center of the lake surrounded by pure black crocodiles with an average length of 15 meters some of them over twenty meters long and have very strong bodies and sharp teeth to bring death whatever threats them. They all surrounded the small island as a large thirty-female crocodile can be seen under the blood-red tree surrounded by numerous eggs.

This is the crocodile that had eaten the fruit from the tree and began to grow to the limit of species and more as it gained an evolutionary ability of asexual reproducing and large batch of eggs laid by it become the cornerstone for black metal crocodiles to dominate this piece of the lake with their large numbers that makes anything with the idea for the tree to become nourishment for the crocodile clan and the tree.

But they didn't know about the disaster that was about to befall them. As a long black snake silently entered the lake from the north and entered deep water as it slowly disappeared from most of the animal's visual crept towards the small island at the center of the lake surrounded by ferocious crocodiles.

A crocodile is swallowing a group of fish with his wide-open mouth to sustain its daily needs. Then it began to patrol the area of the lake under the instruction of Queen Crocodile. While also hunting several large fish for the queen crocodile.

Just as it finished its daily patrol and returned to the island to submit the fish it hunted to bask in the sun lazily as usual. It began to feel its body was weighted down and couldn't move its legs as if it were tied down by something.

Just as the crocodile is confused by what's happening and before it can comprehend anything. Its body began to fall downward, and the next moment a large snake suddenly appeared before it with only a huge head that could fully swallow its whole body even though big crocodiles are much smaller than they are. The crocodile's thought process stopped there as the strong corrosive stomach acid began to digest its body at a rapid pace that no living thing can do.

John looked at the bulging snake body that was returning to normal body shape in a few minutes and couldn't help but praise himself for his smartness. As he can control endless talent and rapidly digest anything he eats to store it as energy.

This energy can also be used as a substitute for consuming food. He can survive a month without eating anything with peak physical health where he can perform any task at ease. If he didn't use much energy on abilities like poison and camouflage. He can even survive for a much longer time easily.

A few moments later, the snake's bulging body returned to normal shape and he began to summarize (The poisonous fog alone is effective against most crocodiles and there's no need to use liquid poison against these weak crocodiles. Even with all these advantages hunting down that large crocodile in the middle of the island is much harder. It's gonna be a long task with these hundreds of crocodiles. So let's start with these smaller crocodiles and save energy for any unexpected situations in the battle. As I don't know everything about the abilities of the giant crocodile. Mainly the tree shouldn't get damaged in battle.)

After thinking through all of this and making a plan that he's satisfied with. John began to hunt down all of these smaller crocodiles one by one. His hunting process becomes much easier after filling up the energy bar. As his survival rate increased and battle time decreased.
