I awoke to a strange orange light as if my eyelids were closed. I tried to move towards it but ran into something leathery, I tried to feel around but noticed I didn't have any limbs! I then moved my head around and noticed that the barrier was only a little bigger than me in a spherical shape. I was in an egg! I then decided to coil up a bit and surge forward to break the shell of the egg. It broke on impact and I saw the surrounding area for the first time it looked like a large jungle. I looked at myself and saw I was around 6" long and 1/4" thick with pitch black scales. Then I saw a blue box in front of me.

Welcome to Origin You are on the continent of Avara

 It's convenient to know where I am, now to figure what I am. I know I'm a snake but what kind.

Growth

The longer you live/more you eat the bigger and stronger you get.

 With that figured out I decide to look for place to rest away from the rest of the eggs in case they turn out to be hostile. With that I go to search for a tree with a small hollow in it. I rest up for the rest of the day I decide to go hunt for small insects until I can hunt bigger prey more reliably. I find several large beetles right off the bat. I decide to sneak up and bite them while injecting a small amount of venom so I can get more than one. As I carry out my plan I end up getting two before the rest fly off.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

With that I swallow the large bugs whole so I can digest them. I then move to the base of a bush to hide while digesting my meal. As I finish digesting my meal I feel myself grow out of my current skin and grow an inch longer while getting another 1/4" thicker. When I finish growing I begin to feel hungry again so I start going in the direction the beetles flew off but run across a baby rat that wandered to far away from the den. I immediately still mysits then begin to raise myself and strike the small mammal with my fangs piercing its heart. I then swallow my prey and rest myself so it can digest. When it finishes I grow another two" longer and a half inch thicker.

 I begin subconsciously flick my tongue to pick up the young rat's scent and follow it to its den. As I arrive smell another 9 scents one a bit older then the rest. I begin my descent into the new den making as little noise as possible. When I get to the main burrow I single out the biggest rat and approach to bite it. Then as I near biting range the rat wakes and squeaks out a challenge. When it starts to charge I coil back and strike it in the neck flooding it with a large amount of venom. It dies before my fangs leave its body. I then make my way to 8 younger scents were I find rats a little bigger then the first rat I ate. I begin to kill then eat them two at a time till all that's left is the adult I killed when entering. By the time all the young rats have been eaten I'm a little over 2' long and 3" thick. I swallow the adult rat and digest it bringing another foot in length to my already growing body.

I decide to look at my progress to how I'm doing.

What does it take to evolve into something different?

To evolve you must reach Tier (4 of 4), eat several beasts that have an affinity that you want, must concentrate on how you want this third affinity to manifest.
