Upon waking up, I find myself in a pitch black space.

I try moving my limbs, but somehow they won’t budge. What’s wrong with my limbs? The only thing I can manage is wriggling my body.

Did I get abducted? I can’t feel any ropes though. I try calling for help, yet nothing comes out.

Okay .. calm down, think rationally! How did I end up here? I remember the Hospital. I was bitten by some kind of venomous snake and passed out while the hospital staff was frantically searching for the right anti-toxin.

Wait .. don’t tell me that this is that? That popular fantasy scenario, where you get reborn in another world? Am I in some sort of limbo, before getting interviewed by a beautiful goddess and getting my cheat ability?

Suddenly my body touches something leathery and gooey. A chill runs down my spine.

I notice how confined this pitch black space is .. thinking about it, it fits my size perfectly.

While panicking I remember that other scenario .. It can’t be! That one? Were you get reborn as some kind of monster .. with no chance of human contact? Getting hunted by Adventurers and fearing for your life, because you are a really weak monster?

I start wriggling more intensely and suddenly the leathery surface rips …

The moment the surface rips I feel sudden pain in my eyes.

Ouch .. ou..ou..ouch! Who turned the light to maximum brightness?

The moment I finally got freed from this space, I could only see stars.

Luck didn’t seem to be on my side.

When my vision recovered I saw … a medieval cellar?!

But it appeared to be build for giants. Or did I get smaller?

I tried moving and finally I managed to slide out of the space I woke up in. Looking at it from the outside it appeared to be … a giant egg?

What’s with this egg? It’s kinda soft, but leathery. And .. ew .. it’s covered in webbing and goo!

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

I turn around to inspect the rest of the cellar. But I only see some storage crates and some barrels. Moving around the room, I see some stairs leading up to a trapdoor.

Seeing a possible exit, I wriggle along the floor, trying to escape this cellar and maybe even finding clues to my whereabouts.

How did this happen?!

After escaping the cellar, I found myself, eye to eye with a toddler, in a garden. He seemed to be around 4 years old and noticed me while playing with his toysword.

He even hit me with his tiny toysword! It hurt! It seriously hurt! But he’s only a child!

As an adult I should forgive this rude child! Afterall he is still a toddler!

But he kinda looked really tasty …

With these thoughts my heavily salivating jaw split. It actually split! I panic ..

It’s really that scenario, isn’t it? The one where I get born as a monster? And a tiny one at that!

While getting caught up in an inner monolog, I … actually swallowed him whole!

Hysterically I tried defending myself from my conscience! It’s not my fault, okay? I’m a stress eater! I get really hungry, when panicking! It’s also his fault for making me panic and looking so goddamn tasty!

Tasty, huh … A human looking tasty .. I’m really a monster now, huh?

My panic turned into a sudden state of depression.

Suddenly I heard a loud 「Pling」 in my head.

「You have killed the future Hero. The forces of darkness in you grow stronger.」

「You have leveled up.」

「You have earned the Title: Youngling Slayer」

「You have earned the Title: Little Demonserpent」

「….」

While getting flooded with all these announcements, I suddenly grew extremly tired.

The only thing I managed to do, was fleeing into the bushes around the cellar. Then I passed out ….

「Entering Growthsleep .. Please standby」
