Chapter 1 “Beginning”
Yet again, they opened their eyes to an unfamiliar environment.
“A lake?”
They looked around; glowing blue water surrounded them, and as they moved their head, a white tail resembling a snakes came into view.
“I got reborn as a snake?” A feeling of amusement bubbled up from inside them. At the same time, a new window appeared.

The now tiny, nameless snake swam joyfully towards the lake’s surface, popping its head out just to find that it was in an underwater cave filled with more water. Curiously, it left the glowing lake that illuminated the cave and observed its separation from the normal water.

“A lake underwater~”
The snake had decided, “I like it here! This will be my base from now on~”
And so began the exploration of the cave.
***
A small group of fish, who peacefully let their bodies be carried by the warm water currents, drifted, unaware of any danger, through the dark cave.
Enjoying their short and fleeting lives.
*Glup*
One of them turned around just to see a few air bubbles remained where their friend swam mere moments ago. But like its companions, it wasn’t the brightest fish in the ocean; its only response, a mindless “Glup”.
A few minutes passed, the vanished friend long forgotten. Two blue eyes, resembling the ocean surface, lit up in the fish’s peripheral vision, but with its non-existing sense of danger, it disregarded them as a new source of light and frolicked in its menacing glow.
Before it realized what was happening, a white tail had embraced its round body, squeezing tighter and tighter.
*Glup*
Bubbles left its mouth together with its short, meaningless life.

The white snake loosened its grip after seeing the pop-up window, and even though they weren’t a fan of fish in their previous life, they devoured the corpse without hesitation.

“That’s the second one~” The tiny snake had realized after killing its first prey that killing and devouring gave separate exp. Exited by that fact, it decided to clear up its new home of any unwelcome trespassers.
