After dragging his mouth along the floor, Blanco finally stopped as he felt the pain from his mouth slowly vanishing.

Sigh!

He laid flat on the ground again, exhausted and nearly drained of all his energy. He felt dizzy again, slowly succumbing to sleep.

But at that moment, Blanco slightly looked at his front where he saw his own reflection.

The scenery in front of him frightened Blanco a bit as he hurriedly backed away, but as he did, he realized that after long way of dragging his toung accros the floor he ended up close to a still unhatched egg, and the reflection he saw was shown by it.

And the reason why his reflection is so clear even in the dark is because of the tiny creatures that brighten the area around him as they flutter above.

After clarifying his confusion, Blanco walked back toward the egg as he took a closer look at his own reflection once again.

"Hmm, based on what I saw so far, everyone has symbols unique to them in their body, then these should be my unique marks,"

Blanco gazed at the sharp teeth-like mark on his back and the straight line and dot mark on his hand in the reflection from the egg surface.

Crik!

But at that moment, as Blanco was observing his appearance, a tiny crack appeared on the surface of the egg.

Crik! Crik!

The crack appeared on the surface, gradually spread more and more.

Blanco took a few steps back as he anticipated what was happening, and just as he expected, in the next second,

Clank!

Breaking the eggshell, a tiny new baby creature came out from the egg.

Forcing its way out from the egg along with the liquid that came inside from it, the newborn creature opened its eyes without any struggle. The first thing it saw was the Blanco looking at it curiously.

The newly hatched baby creature tried to walk toward Blanco, but it got stuck in the liquid that covered it. It struggled for a few seconds to get out from the sticky liquid, but after realizing that its weak strength couldn't free itself, it looked toward Blanco with innocent eyes.

Kwee!

It made a strange sound as it looked toward Blanco.

"is it asking for help?" Blanco got a bit closer to the baby creature, but suddenly he stopped and backed away. The giant mother creature, who was sleeping in the back, woke up by the little sound emitted by the newly hatched baby, and she moved toward it and licked away the liquid around it.

Blanco watched how the mother creature cared for the newborn baby, and as he was looking, the sleepiness of his increased more and more, and he felt exhausted.

"Is it because I'm still a baby? This body has so little stamina and gets exhausted and sleepy really fast," he pondered.

Blanco looked around and found a cozy spot to lay down and drown in his sleep.

The newborn baby, after its mother finished her cleaning, walked up to its eggshell and began to eat it. Within a few minutes, it ate the whole eggshell, which made it appear a bit fat.

After eating the eggshell, it felt its eyelids closing on their own. While the sleepiness came in, it saw Blanco sleeping comfortably a bit far and moved close to him.

In sleep, Blanco suddenly appeared in a dark space.

"Huh, Where is this?" he looked around in confusion and saw something like a flower bud in the dark space, closer to him.

"Have I seen something like this before?" Seeing the flower bud, he realized that it resembled the shape of the still unblooming bud that was placed at the top of the giant tree he saw outside.

"Am I dreaming about that flower bud?" he wondered. "maybe I had much consern to that tree more than I knew, to think that its even appearing in my dream."

at that moment, Blanco felt something behind him, and a green-colored shine casted around him from behind.

He looked back curiously and saw a skeleton mouth with sharp teeth slowly appearing through the space. It had a green-colored energy swirling around it, emitting a sizzling sound.

"This feels toxic," feeling the highly corrosive nature of the object in front of him. He backed away from it a bit.

As the thought of backing away from the corrosive object came into his mind, suddenly everything in front of him sped up and blurred in the darkness.

- - - -

As a ray of sunlight fell onto Blanco's face, he woke up from his slumber.

"What a weird dream," he muttered, but as soon as he woke up, he was met with a heavy weight pressed upon his body.

"This fat bastard, how come he ended up in here," annoyed. He pushed the other creature above him with a powerful force, but as he pushed, he realized that it was not as hard as before.

"Could it be because my body is growing?" Blanco became curious about his newfound strength.

But at that moment, his attention was drawn in another direction as he saw that the father of his was moving out from the hole they were in, and following him, the other older ones went out.

"as I get older, I probably have to help father to find food," thought Blanco as he gazed at the outside view.

Graaaw!

Disturbing his peaceful view, his stomach rumbled. To ease up his hunger, Blanco tried to find something to eat, and as he looked around, he saw that the newly born creature that he saw yesterday was sleeping closer to him.

Thud!

Suddenly, a loud sound echoed, and looking at the source, Blanco saw the remains of the food the father creature brought yesterday placed infront of him by the mother.

The other sleeping newborn woke up from the sound, and the fatty that Blanco pushed away sniffed the smell from the dead creature and woke up in an instant.

"O,ohh."

After surveying the food, Blanco glanced back at all the new little ones and realized that the remaining parts of the creature wouldn't be enough to feed them all.

"Being late would be regrettable," he muttered to himself, hastily making his way towards the remaining corpse. Seeing him go, the other newborn hurriedly scampered towards the food.
