I stared at the bear for a few seconds before screaming and running away. “Fuck you, you penniless destitue impoverished dick!” I waddled away but the bear simply impaled me with its claws the size of my legs and lifted me to its mouth.
The bear was gigantic, easily the size of a carriage. It used one claw like a toothpick to pick me up. It slowly brought me towards its mouth, its red fur glowing in the small amount of light. I wriggled around but all that did was cut up even more of my insides.
I stared at the bear's gaping maw for a few seconds, then yelled. “Fuck you!” as I dove into its jaw. Moving as fast as I could I ripped my stomach open on its claw as I flung myself into its jaw. My organs barely held on as I slid down the bear's throat, not giving it the chance to chew.
I did my best to irate it all the way down, biting and scratching at its throat. If I die you’re coming with me! Die you underprivileged beggar! Face the power of money!” I bit down on the throat and ripped a large part off.
Suddenly the bear started moving, “Finally noticed huh? Die you strapped for cash shit head!” My journey down the bear's throat hadn’t been very productive but once I reached the stomach this bear was going to regret eating me!
Although I had been the one to jump into his mouth. Was this my fault? Had he just accidentally grabbed me and was just trying to look at me? Oh well, the poor died for the rich.”So die!” I landed in his stomach with a wet smack. There was some weird liquid around me that burned when I touched it.
I endured it as I rushed over to the side of its stomach and got to work. I began ripping and tearing at one part of the stomach, desperately trying to open a hole for myself as I began to bleed out.
After a few minutes of bleeding out while melting I managed to open a big enough hole to punch through. I leaped laughing as I began to rip and tear at everything I could see. Nothing would stop me!
I was covered in blood by now and had to use two of my legs to keep my insides from spilling out. But this bitch was dying as well! Its insides are just as shredded as mine. I had barely a few minutes left to live. I could feel death inching closer as I tried to make sure the bear would come with me.
After around two more minutes of ripping and tearing I collapsed, I had no idea what I was lying on but it didn’t matter, blood pooled around me, mine and the bear’s mixing as it tried to breathe, barely able to draw breath. But finally the notification came.

Jazz music began to play in my head as my vision went dark.
When I opened my eyes I was in a bright white room filled with what looked to be a version of me. There were three all with a spotlight shining down on them. “So I’m supposed to choose one of these? Or do you choose for me? Can you even talk?”
After receiving no answer I grunted and walked over to the first version of me. This one was easily triple my size, covered in extremely thick scales all over the body. The tail also received a layer of scales and had a spiked club at the end.
I opened its mouth and saw that the teeth were gigantic unlike my current small ones. As I stared at the evolution a notification came up that told me what it was.
Mud Skink Bruiser
While that did sound appealing, I didn’t want to be a big slow boy who gets killed by something small and fast. I walked over to the next one that looked suspiciously similar to what I currently looked like. It was double my size and had a mucho longer tail but that was it. What a lackluster option.
Mud Skink Queen
I take it back this is the best option, don’t know why it says queen but yes! I’m going to be royalty! Even in my past life I was only a cousin of the king, but now. I shall become king of the world!
I selected the option quickly, what could be better than being royalty? Although who was I going to be the king of? Maybe mud skinks would just randomly show up and swear allegiance. That would be quite nice.
I smiled as my body was consumed by a flash of light. I woke up in pain and covered in blood inside the corpse of a bear. Thankfully my organs were still hanging on. I tried to start clawing my way out but my legs refused to move, also I was still missing the third one!
So I just layed there, inside a corpse, eating while waiting for something to come get me out. After almost two hours I was incredibly full and had actually cleared a path. I wriggled out of the corpse and after almost a minute I did it!
I hopped around at my newfound freedom and screamed. “I am king of the mud flats! Behold my prestigious title!” I chuckled and started walking. Life was great! I mean I had just gotten eaten by a bear and had killed it from the inside but who cares? I’m royalty!
I kept walking, enjoying the scenery as I felt a weird pressure start to build up in my stomach. Did I need to poop? I had kinda just gone throughout the day without stopping. I was a dynamic pooper! But why was this poop not coming out?
I shrugged and continued walking. I would return to my kingdom, and live in peace for the next hundred years! I smiled and began singing my walking song as I walked. But I did it with a fancy accent because I felt pretty goddamn fancy.
Wait, is there god in this world? Of course there is, it's me! I love my life, I’m a dragon, king and now a god! I couldn’t stop smiling as I continued walking. Another fortuitous event after only ten hours of walking I made it back to the mud flats.
It is good to be home! I could see my lair in the distance and all the various bugs and frogs and such that inhibit my domain. But that damn pressure in my stomach is even worse now! Did that bear poison me? No, he was too stupid to do that.
By the time I got to my lair it was difficult to walk, my stomach had doubled in size and I kept farting! What the fuck is going on? I was barely able to fit in my own lair! I collapsed in the center, not even moving towards the small part I had dug out.
At least I was safe here. Just as I thought that the pressure became incredibly painful and I let out a loud scream as I began to relieve myself of whatever this pressure was. “What the fuck is going on! Why does it feel like I’m pushing out a bunch of rocks?” Just let me die already.
The pain was agonizing, I could feel some sort of liquid pouring out as well. Is this how I’m going to die? Shitting myself? After almost two hours of the pain and discomfort it finally stopped.
I collapsed to the ground, shivering and crying as I kept saying my mantra to myself. “You’re rich, nothing can hurt you. You’re rich, nothing can hurt you. You’re rich, nothing can hurt you. You’re rich, nothing can hurt you.” I just layed there for a few minutes, until I drifted into a blissful sleep, dreaming of money and royalty.
