Author Note: First of the edited chapters. I didn't touch this one so much, only changing a few interactions and thoughts of the MC and deleting some paragraphs that didn't fit with MCs personality.
..........................................................................................
Are you kidding? You are joking with me, right?
[Although the brain is still in the growing process, you have quick processing and the ability to roll]
What's with that!?
I do think about various stuff a lot, you know!.
[It's dangerous to be alone. The insides of the egg are extraordinarily delicious and considered a delicacy, and monsters in the zone love it.]
[If you were to be found by a human, you would be instantly killed. Though if the parent dragons are near, this wouldn't be the case.]
[There is also the chance that humans would take you away, but this isn't recommendable as a dragon can follow the scent of its egg.]
A lie! It's a lie, right?
Isn't it too cruel?
I would be killed if I were found, just like a common cockroach!
What are this, dragons, monsters…?
Really, the heck is this.
I regain consciousness, and now is the second day. Also, I finally came to understand that this forest that I was in was a dangerous forest full of monsters.
Monsters like some black crocodile looking thing and other giant insects which I dislike.
By the way, this day, I got the [Hunger Resistance] and [Poison Resistance] skills. Because of a mushroom that I eat earlier, my stomach hurts, it really hurts.
Well, at least I understand that it won't be dangerous if I just have it in my hand.
Anyways, let's test the [Roll] Skill. As if by instinct, I just rolled over to the side.
[[Roll] Skill leveled up to level 2.]
I rolled from a high place, which ended up with me falling, and it dealt quite the amount of damage to me.
[[Fall Resistance] Skill level up to level 2.]
I almost killed myself.
Naa, I'm tired, God's Voice-chan...
I want to go back home, I want to take a bath, I want to eat chips...
Goddam Goddess…
[Special Skill [God's Voice: Lv1] is unable to explain.]
For now, I'm going to have to survive in this place. My hopes go through that. My hopes of entering human society in this life are also low, considering that I am food for them.
Human life, huh, something like being born from an egg, means that I will change.
Which reminds me, who am I?
I don't seem to remember. I do recall that I was human, and I still have my common knowledge, which tells me that monsters shouldn't exist.
I also remember that fucking goddess. Didn't she say that I would remain my memories? At least I still remember my favorites animes…
I also remember that I'm a man.
Anyways let's confirm my status.

It seems that HP can be recovered by just lying down. Both of these days, I've paid a lot of attention to not get hurt and end up dying because of that.
I have been avoiding monsters, eating small fruits that fall from the trees and little insects, and drinking the spring's water.
Though I didn't want to, it was inevitable. I thought I was going to die from hunger. Even I think that giving up after two days is fast. It can't be helped. Compared to when I was a human, the feeling of hunger is much stronger.
I'm still in my growth period. I mean, I'm still an egg.
Even if my level goes up... Will I be able to fight? I don't think I would be ready to hit a monster.
Since I'm an egg. When will I hatch? God's voice said that I was a dragon's egg, shouldn't there any feeling that I'm growing?
Maybe it won't happen unless I don't level up? I need to defeat monsters?
That's impossible! I'm just an egg! Nest? Didn't I fall from my nest?
Didn't I fall from a tree? Could it possibly be that it was the dragon's nest? It could be that there is something that stimulates my growth…
Ah, danger.
There are some grotesque caterpillars at the base of the tree.
This discovery was quite late.
That thing's name is Dark Worm. When I fell down here, they began to chase me.
Naturally, I was able to escape.
Except for the dark worm, other monsters just seem to ignore me. They just seem to overlook me.
It could be that they think that if they try to attack me, the parent dragon will come forth to protect me, now that I think about it God's Voice said something like that on the first day.
But... Where is this dragon?
But, that fellow always attacks me. Let's check the Dark Worm status,
[Status inspection] I said in my mind.

Dangerous, really dangerous. His overall status is better than mine. My agility is slightly better than his, but for now, I should escape from here.
Now I know why that guy was so obstinately aiming for me, it's because of that strange Title Skill that he has.
[Egg Eater: Lv1]
It really probably is because of that.
What I came to understand was that that guy seems to know the taste of an egg.
An agreement is impossible. It would be inadvisable to communicate with that thing.
It seems like, right now, the Dark Worm somehow lost some HP. If I wait for it to fall asleep, will I be able to finish him off?
His level is higher than mine, but my defense is a bit higher than his. If I receive one attack, I would be out, but I think that I should be able to win if I use my advantage in agility well.
Alright, let's do this.
I'm going to beat that guy down, so I can level up to hatch. And bring this egg life to an end.
I'm being chased. The Dark Worm is chasing me.
Come!, I will lure him out to a place where I can have an advantageous position.
Even though I understand that I can easily die because I'm still an egg.
Although, according to both of mine and his status that I win in agility, but I fall far behind in attack. Also that my HP is much lower than his.
I don't think I would be able to endure even one of his hits.
Thanks to my advantage in agility, I can make a preemptive attack, but if I were to receive a counter-attack, that would be the end of me.
If that's the case, I should play to my advantages and keep striking until I bring him down. There is only this option.
Although I don't know where or how should I hit him to inflict the most damage, I need to risk it.
"Shaaa!"
The Dark Worm hisses at me.
Escape, escape!
I go up the hill and look for a good place. I aim for a place that looks like several stair steps.
I almost fell down from one of them but I was able to recover in time.
My objective is a small cliff and runs to it. The Dark Worm is still closely following me.
That's it, good boy. Steadily keep coming to me.
Little by little, I drop my speed to attract the Dark Worm closer to me.
[Shaa!]
As my stamina drops, he seems to hiss happily at that. That fellow seems to think that he will finally eat me. He is really careless. He must be thinking that I'm a fool just because I'm an egg.
Just because of this will be his end.
I begin to increase my speed and then hit him with a corkscrew punch. That guy takes a lot of time to rotate because of how big his body is.
As I used the skill [Roll] to get away, my limbs enter the inside of my shell. My [Roll] skill is level 2. I'm able to accelerate in this position as well.
I move to the side of the Dark Worm, and with all of my force, I impact him with my body while I'm still rolling.
[Gichii!]
Thanks to the egg's friction force, the Dark Worm's body surface is cut.
Also, I push him with all of my weight.
It seems that the preemptive hit strategy worked. Thanks to this, it appears that his physical strength will be affected. That's something critical.
Just like that, I keep pushing him to make him fall from the cliff. And the Dark Worm finally falls from the cliff.
Because of the force of the [Roll] and its acceleration, I fall on top of the Dark Worm.
It's a good thing that I possess the [Fall Resistance: Lv2] skill, and he doesn't.
It's over. It was pretty tough for a moment I thought I wouldn't be able to do it.
[Ajiiii!]
We crash against the ground!
I use the Dark Worm as a cushion in order to evade the blow on myself.
The front part of the Dark Worm looked as if it was dented, and he was vomiting some black bodily fluids.
tsutsu..., I'm also quite hurt too. Did I trust a bit too much on [Fall Resistance]?
Ah, but in the end, I seem to be alright...
Unsteadily the Dark Worm starts to stand.
Eh, are you serious? This is impossible! There is some blood-like substance coming from his mouth and body!
You should be lying down!
The Dark Worm's hollow eyes were focusing me, he held his rear part and began to lift himself up.
What? What is this feeling?
He seems to be extremely mad!
[KishaaaaaaAAAaa!]
For one last time, he cried and fell to the ground once again.
I felt really nervous for a moment there... Wait, does this mean that he finally died?
[12 experience points were obtained.]
[Because of the effects of Title Skill [Walking Egg]. Another 12 experience points were obtained.]
[The level of [Dragon's Egg] raised from 1 to 5.]
[ [Dragon's Egg] has reached its MAX level.]
[The evolution condition has been satisfied.]
I won! I really won!
I beat an opponent that I thought I could only run from.
Even if I leveled up in one go, was it because of the effects of [Walking Egg]?
Although I don't seem to understand how it works, it seems to give me a bonus exp.
For it to give twice the experience, isn't that amazing?
How do I say this... wasn't that last cry kind of strange?
That was a higher pitch than his usual cries. Well, not like he can do anything now that he is dead.
Then, what shall I do now?
I suppose that I should eat him.
The idea of eating this giant caterpillar is quite dreadful if you ask me.
But I suppose that it should give me good nutrients for my growth.
A hole in the egg's shell opens where the mouth should be, and I begin to chew on the Dark Worm's backside.
Now that I finished eating the Dark Worm, I suppose that I should check my status.
If I remember correctly, a while ago, it said that I was able to evolve.

It went up! It went up!
My status raised!
My level also reached its maximum.
I should be able to evolve now that my Lv reached its maximum.
But how? How do I evolve?
[Do you want your evolution options to be displayed?]
Oh, my thoughts were answered. Words were floating in my head.
I thought it was cold and evil, but it's unexpectedly considerate!
I request you, I don't want to be an egg anymore!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author Noted: Another chapter edited. One more time, I didn't change too much. For now, the MC is going an acceptable path. The real changes are going to be in the next chapters. For now, he still needs to kill monsters.
At least, I change his desire of human interaction in the previous chapter.
