Sperpina thought to herself, "Right now, I only have 18 years of lifespan."

[Note here: 1 year = 500 days]

Level 0 snakes usually live for about 10 years, but the lifespan can vary depending on the snake species. For example, pink snakes live for around 7 years, while red snakes can live for up to 12 years.

As we move up the levels, the lifespan of snakes increases:

- Level 1 snakes live for around 15 years.

- Level 2 snakes live for around 25 years.

- Level 3 snakes live for around 40 years.

- Level 4 snakes live for around 60 years.

- Level 5 snakes live for around 85 years.

- Level 6 snakes live for around 120 years.

- Level 7 snakes live for around 200 years.

- Level 8 snakes live for around 400 years.

- Level 9 snakes live for around 800 years.

- Level 10 snakes live for around 1500 years.]

Serpina felt sad, but she said, "It's okay," because her brother Silk was still with her. She knew that once Silk reached Level 7, he might be able to take her to the Scaleweaver clan.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Then Silk said, "I'm also planning to leave because I've found a great place to train. However, it's very dangerous, with creatures above Level 5 living there.

Since I can survive on a plant-based diet and don't need to hunt, I plan to go there tomorrow." After saying this, Silk went to sleep.

Serpina felt even sadder upon hearing this, realizing that she didn't possess the same abilities as Silk.

Since she couldn't survive on plants alone, she couldn't join him on his journey. She went to sleep, and was thinking about this and became more sad.

The next morning, Silk woke up, and his movement woke up Serpina as well. Silk turned to Serpina and said, "Serpina, I'm leaving.

Serpina's sadness deepened as she recalled her conversation with Silk, from the previous night.

She said, "Okay, bye. Take care." She knew she couldn't rely on Silk's presence for her own survival, and she accepted that reality.

Determined to grow stronger, she made the decision to leave the cave, which had been built by her mother, and go on her own journey.

Silk bid his farewell and left, starting his own journey. Similarly, Serpina made her final preparations and set off on her own adventure, leaving the cave behind.

[ Note here: I didn't mention in past but, As I mentioned, Silk experienced a significant growth from 0.5 meters to 0.8 meters in just one night.

It was because, when he was born, he had used a lot of energy, which made his height appear smaller and body slim.

However, after consuming a frog and absorbing a Level 2 magical crystal, his body returned to its normal size. ]

End of Volume 1.

I want to ask whether to continue with Volume 2 or write Evolution 2, 3, 4, 5, or perhaps explore another novel idea.

Evolution 2, 3, 4, and 5 would follow a similar timeline as Silk's story, but would focus on other significant characters. This approach could provide me with valuable material for future developments.

I hope you can help me 🙏.
