"Congratulations you have gained a level!" finally it took me forever but I have finally reached level 2.

The older Beholder's let us outside after three whole days in the cave we were born in.

When I first stepped outside or should I say when I first floated it was the first time I truly realized that I am not on earth anymore but a completely different world.

The scenery before me was truly something out of a story, a forest with huge trees, strange creature roaming around, and I can swear I saw a fairy flying around.

Anyway, something else happened when I first got outside actually the strangest thing of all but something that happens in reincarnation stories a lot.

I got an introduction to this world, yeah crazy right?

Anyway the introduction "Welcome to your new life in this world called Inova, I hope you will be happy because not many get a chance for a new life with their memories intact, as a present I granted you an ability of the mighty status! Be happy! Well, that's all bye bye!"

Signed god of Inova.

Crazy right, and somehow that god pisses me off, I mean why the hell am I an eye...beholder?

"Sigh" 

Guess I got to live with what I got, I can't sulk around forever now can I, oh right I leveled up lets see.

"Status" I speak in my mind and a floating screen shows up.

Name: None

Gender: Female

Race: Beholder

Level: 2

Souls Consumed: 5

Health: 60/60

Mana: 110/110

Skills: None

My stats went up by ten I guess that's okay for a starter level right...I hope.

When the other smaller beholders and I got thrown out of the cave I was lost at first, I had no idea what to do I just floated in place and watched the scenery before me.

But I snapped out fast and decided to observe the others, the first thing after few hours of my observing I noticed that I was not hungry nor did the other beholders hunt.

But then I saw one of the beholders floating towards a small pond, inside the pond were some strange looking creatures that looked a lot like frogs when I checked their name it said "Dragwenirud" yeah...I decided to call them frogs.

Anyway, when I first noticed this I thought that beholders actually need food but the strange thing is when the young beholder got close enough it just strangled the frog with its tentacles.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

When the frog died a dim green light floated from its body, the beholder moved its tentacle and sucked the light and moved on.

I remembered my status screen, there was "Souls Consumed" there.

I tested that theory on my own prey I also hunted at the same pond and managed to strangle a frog, it felt weird.

Anyway like the last time a dim green light rose from the frogs body, I moved one of my tentacles and it got sucked in.

When I opened my status screen I checked the consumed souls tag and yeah I was right one consumed soul was added.

I kept strangling the poor frogs till I gained level 2 but nothing then the increased stats was added I hoped for a skill, oh well guess ill keep on killing these poor frogs for now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Five days passed and I should say I have level up pretty nicely also I decimated the frog population, forgive me frogs.

"Status" I chant in my mind.

Name: None

Gender: Female

Race: Beholder

Level: 7

Souls Consumed: 35

Health: 120/120

Mana: 170/170

Skills: Lightning touch.

It seems I level up on five souls consumed that actually really helpful.

I also gained a skill, lightning touch, now I can coat my tentacles in lightning and shock, my enemies, tho I still didn't get a chance to use it on a real opponent other than the frogs also it consumes 5 mana for each tentacle.

The older beholders didn't even come outside the cave to check up on us, but I was correct we beholders don't need food or water, tho for some reason, they like to play in water often.

The only thing a beholder needs is a soul to consume nothing more.

I look around me but there isn't any frog left near our cozy little cave, hmm should I go inside the forest?

I don't think its a great idea, but there just isn't anything to hunt anymore.

"Sigh" off I go.

Will try to make longer chapters.
