章 50: 50-First Cooked Meal

In the Forest within the Realm of Piksyon. In a Clear Area where the Terran Boars recently gathered. A Hill of Dead Bodies was in its Center. The Corpses then shone with a Bright Light that engulfed the Clear Area. Right beside the Hill of Corpses were two Creatures waiting for the Bright Light to dim. It was a White Serpent and a Dark Ashen Eagle. They stared at the Hill of Corpses as the Bright Light finally dim. The Bright Light that engulfed the Clear Area finally disappeared, and the result was clear.

'That's a lot...' The White Serpent thought while looking at the result of the Bright Light. The Dark Ashen Eagle right beside it nodded in agreement. The two of them looked at a Hill of Meatballs. There were possibly over a Thousand Giant Meatballs gathered together in front of them. The White Serpent didn't bother of it as it was good to have Biomass in its grasp. The White Serpent then used its White Barrier to separate the Giant Meatball Hill by 20 Giant Meatballs.

After separating the Giant Meatballs into numerous groups, The White Serpent formed its White Transparent Barrier into Roasting Utensils. Seeing the Roastic Utensils, The White Serpent nodded in satisfaction and began putting the Giant Meatballs into White Transparent Barrier Sticks. It was time to grill the Giant Meatballs in front of them. The Dark Ashen Eagle quickly realized what the White Serpent was trying to do.

<Sister, Are you sure you're gonna cook them? It might take a lot of time, and it is inefficient as we can handle Raw Foods without any problem.> Ego was the Logical Faction of the White Serpent's Consciousness. It was clear that there was no use in cooking Raw Foods. They can easily eat it, and they won't have any problems with their body. It also didn't take a lot of time which was the main issue of cooking Food. The White Serpent, hearing the Eagle's words, sighed. It then looked at the Dark Ashen Eagle and replied.

'It isn't about efficiency and time. It is about eating something cook. It has been a while, and I have gotten used to eating raw food. But that doesn't mean I didn't miss cook food. We have all the time in this Realm, so there is no need to be impatient. We should enjoy life while getting stronger.' The White Serpent replied to the Dark Ashen Eagle with a Calm Thought. The Dark Ashen Eagle then nodded in understanding.

'Besides, Let's enjoy our time and have great memories on our Journey to the peak.' The White Serpent continued its words. The White Serpent wanted to have great memories on its way to get stronger. Having Cooked Food for the first time in the reincarnation would be one of its greatest memories. The Dark Ashen Eagle nodded once again. What its Sister said was the truth. They need to be patient and have memories in their journey.

<Well, what Sister said is correct. It isn't about the Destination but the Journey.> Ego said with her monotone voice. The Dark Ashen Eagle looked at the Blue Azure Skies. The White Serpent raised an imaginary eyebrow after hearing what the Dark Ashen Eagle said. 'Where did you hear that?' Persia asked as her Hunter Mentality slowly disappeared. She was back to normal. She was curious about where Ego heard such words.

<I found it from the Books in the Ancient Library.> Ego answered as Persia nodded in understanding. She remembered the same thing from someone important to her. Was it a Family Member? Now that she thought about it. Why did she reincarnate? How did she die? What was the reason for being stuck in a Serpent Body? Persia shook her head as there was no use in thinking about such trivial things.

That was the moment where the sign of Persia's Past Life slowly dims within her New Life. Sooner or later, The Memories of her Past Life will be hidden within her memories of the New Life. Such a Moment would either be the Dangerous Moment of Persia's Life or the Sign of Persia's complete rebirth as the World Serpent.

'Let's light it up.' Persia thought as numerous flames appeared within the Roasting Utensil. The White Transparent Stick then began spinning with a lot of Giant Meatballs. It was quite relaxing to see numerous Giant Meatballs getting roasted at the same time. She looked at it with a smile plastered on her Serpent Face. Ego looked at the skies and spoke towards Persia through their minds.

<Sister, I'll observe the skies.> Ego said with a calm tone through their minds. Persia nodded in agreement as the Dark Ashen Eagle began flapping its wings. Ego flew towards the Heavens and had a Full View of the Forest. She looked around the Forest and found that there were no Creatures in her Sight. It was quite strange but having no creatures while cooking was a piece of good news.

'Flying is quite enjoyable. The Feeling of Freedom and untrapped of the World.' Persia thought as she continued cooking their Giant Meatballs. Smoke began rising from the White Transparent Roasting Utensil. It might have cost a Creature's attention, but Persia had Ego's eyes in the Skies. She continued to cook the Giant Meatballs as its Aroma slowly conquered the Clear Area.

'The Smell is quite good.' Persia thought as she felt her mouth salivate. It was strange for a Serpent to act like this, but Persia wasn't a Regular Serpent. She stopped being a Regular Serpent after being Born in the New World. She looked at the Giant Meatballs as they rotated peacefully without any problems. Persia shook her head and needed to control herself from food.

'As expected. Cooked Food never disappoints me. But it is quite strange for the Aroma to be good. I wonder if this is because the Realm is different from normal.' Persia thought to herself while looking at the Giant Meatballs from afar. They were slowly changing colors and for some unknown reason. There was oil escaping from their bodies. Was that even Oil?

<Sister's Cooked Food is strong. The Aroma is engulfing the Skies above it.> Ego's Monotone Voice echoed through Persia's Mind. Persia looked up, and it seemed that the Aroma was escaping from the Clear Area. Even the skies got affected by it. Persia shook her head and continued cooking the Giant Meat Balls. As time passes by within the Forest, The Giant Meatballs Persia cooked was finally finished.

'Ego, come down from the skies. It's time for us to eat.' Persia gave a message towards Ego in the Heavens. Ego, who was flying all over the skies quickly came down to the earth. She quickly landed right beside Persia and looked at the Cooked Giant Meatballs. Their Aroma was all over the Place, and it was stronger than the Aroma in the skies. Ego then felt a drool from her beak, which was strange. How was this possible? Someone like her drooling was a rare occurrence.

'Let's take a bit from the Giant Meatballs we cooked.' Persia thought as she controlled the White Transparent Barrier Sticks. She brought Two Sticks towards the two of them. She has one of the White Sticks towards Ego. She then looked at Ego and thought. 'Take a bite from it, Ego.' Persia thought with a calm tone. Ego then nodded in accepted Persia's words.

Ego opened her Beak and looked at the Giant Meatball. She could see its Tender Jucy Meat. She tried to bite the Giant Meatball. But no matter what she does, Her Beak wouldn't bite the Giant Meatball. Her Beak was afraid of losing the Giant Meatball. Persia noticed Ego's Beak and chuckled within her mind. She then reminded Ego of something important. 'Look around you...' It was a simple reminder. Ego then realized that there were a dozen of Giant Meatballs. Ego then took a bite and swallowed it.

Silence engulfed the Clear Area as the sound of something ravaging a Meat echoed within it. Ego was eating the Cooked Giant Meatball wildly. Even Persia was quite surprised by Ego's reactions to the Giant Meatball. Persia shook her head and took a bite from the Cooked Giant Meatballs. Her Serpent Eyes opened widely as she understood why Ego was eating the Giant Meatball wildly.

'I just roasted the Giant Meatball. I never knew that they would have such an effect.' Persia thought as she began eating the Giant Meatball. She wondered what would happen if she decided to add some spices and cook it properly. It would probably destroy their sense of taste. They would be addicted and would probably not eat Raw Food.

'This is dangerous. I should stop cooking food for now.' Persia thought it wasn't a good idea to focus on food instead of growth. She might turn into a Gourmet Creature who roamed around the Realm for a new taste. Persia didn't want such a thing to happen. She continued eating the Giant Meatball until she noticed that there wasn't any left of it. 'I swallowed all of it.' Persia thought to herself.

The Two of them looked at each other and began heading towards the Giant Meatball. The two of them began eating each of them. They didn't bother looking at their surroundings and continued eating. The Sound of Meat tearing apart echoed in the Area. It might have misunderstood some creatures that a Monster might be living in the Forest.

It wasn't a good idea to misunderstand, but there was no reason for Persia and Ego to try to clear the Misunderstanding. They didn't have time for that as they were focused on eating the Cooked Giant Meatballs in front of them. The two continued eating without any care in the Forest. Time passes by within the Forest, and 1 Hour passed after the eating contest began.

Persia and Ego were in the middle of Clear Area. They looked like Lump Creatures, but they were turning into their old selves. Persia sighed after looking around. She noticed that she turned into a glutton and ate everything in her path. Ego, on the other hand, felt devastated. It was shocking for her to act like a Glutton. The Side of Persia that supposed to have the best control over her desires.

'It seems that no one can defeat delicious food.' Persia thought to herself as she looked at Ego, who was right beside her. 'Are you okay, Ego?' Persia asked calmly as Ego nodded and answered. <My Body Function is good, but I feel like my Mental Energy is exhausted.> Persia shook her head as she understood what Ego felt. They ate the Cooked Giant Meatballs without care. It was a dangerous thing to do.

'I think it's better to limit ourselves on eating Cooked Food.' Persia thought as Ego nodded in agreement. Ego didn't want to see herself losing control over food ever again. It was a Bad Thing to see, especially for Ego. 'Well, I think it's time for the two of us to leave the Area.' Persia thought as Ego nodded and flew to the Heavens. She slithered towards the East Direction, but before she could continue. Persia heard a familiar sound.

'A Notification?' Persia thought to herself. She quickly understood that she was about to Level Up. She would grow into a bigger snake after this. Persia then looked at the Notification Window that appeared in front of her. She then began reading it and was surprised at what she saw. Persia's Serpent Body is then illuminated with a Bright Golden Light. It was the Sign of Level Up.
