This Story follows the Journey of Caroline Warren who is tasked the impossible.

The ground was rocky and bumpy as they tried to reach their destination. 
Almost there. Block said randomly. 
How do you know? Boguslaw asked.
I just do. 
How long have we've been walking? 
Two hours.
There was silence after that until Boguslaw tried to make a game out of asking random questions. 
Favorite color?
Red. What's your favorite color? 
Yellow. Favorite animal? 
All and yours? Don't have one.
If you could learn another language what would it be? 
I don't know.
What book do you wish would be turned into a movie? 
I don't read and I live in the middle of the woods. 
What would be the funniest to fill a pinata with? 
Umm, I don't know.
How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant?
What? 
I've run out of questions. He declared. 
Block sighed. Finally, She thought.
Block and Boguslaw went a couple more miles until they came to a steep hill and the cat started racing up it.
Boguslaw! Be careful! Block called after him. 
I am being careful! He called back.
The hill is steep! But her call went unanswered. At last! Boguslaw was jumping on his paws as they reached a resting place. 
Thought we were lost. Block said slithering beside the excited cat. 
We can't stay here. The cat confirmed. 
Why? Block was clearly confused. 
The resting place is in the village and they don't want a snake in it without a good reason. Plus I smell the traces of Crystals. Then we must get going. 
Boguslaw remembers that the snake had only ever known her family and friends. In fact, this would be the first time out of her territory and wouldn't know what to do. 
The barn wasn't very far from the main village. So when they got there they were already expecting a roof with holes in it, walls that need more paint, and better doors. Boguslaw approached a gap in the wall and sniffed it. He took in the sent of mice, hay, and another cat. Then a familiar voice spoke up. and Block followed. He saw Berry and a stained orange mouse in the corner. 
As soon as the mouse saw them it was racing in and out and under Boguslaw's paws. 
I'm gonna guess he's not for dinner. The cat joked. 
I'm not getting dinner? The small mouse looked like he was about to cry. 
Yes, you will have dinner. Berry said trying to reassure the mouse. 
Yay! The mouse cried. 
What's his name anyway? Boguslaw asked. Pinecone. Berry deadpanned.
Pinecone? 
I don't know either. Also, what do you need?
We need to find Hedge. Block said finally speaking since they got there. 
He saw Berry's face fall. 
What's wrong? Block asked. 
He's not with us anymore. He said sadly. 
Oh well, maybe we can speak with his gang.
Lardon Lakeside ratted his gang out soon after Hedge passed so good luck finding them and if you see them good luck living. 
Oh was all the snake gave. 
You can rest and eat here if you will. You got long ways to go if you're heading back.
We then go to Lardon Lakeside without Hedge. Block sounds determined. 
I'm gonna say that's why you needed Hedge. 
Yep. Boguslaw confirmed. 
Go hunt for us if you will Boguslaw. Berry said right after. 
I won't disappoint. 
You never do.

Thus continues another game of cat and mouse. Eh human and giant snake. 
What the hell is wrong with this snake?! I'm just a pitiful weak human?
I'm basically very smol. Okay, I might not be that cute or tiny in comparison to other humans. But I'm totally smol compared to this bloodthirsty giant ass snake!
I keep running, it keeps slithering after me. Glaring all the while. Like seriously what's with that intense glare?!
It just acted hungry when it ate the angry uncle dude. Now it's looking at me like I am some kind of treasure.
What gives?!
I can already picture this chase animated into a comedy skit.
Yakety Sax playing, the scenery defiling. Always the same trees coming over and over again.
Of course, it would be shown in such a way that it is obvious that the characters are just running in place and it's just the background moving along.
Kinda like these driving scenes. Where it's painfully obvious the actors are just sitting there on their asses lol.
The fact that it's actually trying to eat me does lower the comedic level a lot however. Most often than not a lot of cartoons are really dark when you think about them.
Take that mouse and cat one. It's all fun and game until you realize the clever mouse is actually running for its life. One wrong move and it would be over.
 I've always fantasized about doing something with such kid shows. Take years to learn to draw and animate. Then create an alternative episode where the cute little character actually gets eaten for real. Make it as gory as possible.
Then work my way up a broadcasting station. And extremely subtly change the planned episode for this twisted version of mine. Then watch the chaos unfold as thousands of youngsters are traumatized for life and enraged parents strike the network. Then I would disappear like the wind leaving behind a legend. 
Of course, I would never do that. I'm no psychopath. But imagine the possibilities haha.
But yeah. Right now, my situation is not good. Not bad either since I can actually outrun the creature. But I'm not getting away. It's almost as if it's purposely staying the right distance behind me. That's impossible since it's clearly extremely motivated to snack on me looking at its gaze.
Well again, this is but normal. *Sigh* I am simply too handsome after all. Of course, I would appear even more handsome if I managed to act cool.
Actually, it is all about mindset. Yep. I know how to make my situation 100% better instantly.
I focus. Then I bring back my arms 90 degrees toward my back. And then I ….ninja run!!!!!
Did that actually improve my situation? Not really, but I'm having fun. HAHA.
We keep at it for a long time, until something appears in front.
OMG, THAT IS WOLFIE! With Zero and the small fox?
They seem to be casually chilling. This is perfect!
Wolfie can tell this baddie snake that I'm an ally-ish. I'm sure the wolf king's backing should be intimidating enough.
Worse case we'll use the power of friendship to violently beat the reptile to a pulp. Remember it's not disloyal to gang up on people if you call it friendship!
[Wolfie! Saaaaavveeeeeee me!] 
I reach them out of breath…. not. Divine enhancement is awesome for stamina.
OMG doesn't that make me the ultimate kiter. How awesome would it be!
I already know the best way to go about it. Oh, I'll definitely use the technique I just thought about in my next fight!
They all look at me weirdly right now. Except for the snake. He still seems to want to devour me alive. But it stopped?
It's just staying a few meters away from me. Ever so keenly watching me. What is up with this creature?
"Welcome back sectmaster! What brings you here?"
[Hey Zero! Hum let me see some dumbass tried to do something he shouldn't have. I killed him by mistake. His uncle came back to town and tried to get rid of me. He ran after me. He's now in the belly of the snake over there. That's about it. Oh, and the flame boar is nowhere to be found? Hope he's fine. Probably.]
"I see. And what about saving you?"
[Oh that. Hum this snake is trying to eat me I think?]
"*Sigh* I think I'm aware of what is happening."
Wait…. there is only Zero and me here. With a fox, a wolf, and a snake.
"You really suck at this you know. That's really not how it's done."
WTF! It's the fox.
[YOU CAN SPEAK!??!]
"…"
"…"
Why are they all acting like it's common sense?!
Is speech normal for monsters nowadays? I was sure only the boar was special being able to speak while a rank 3.
Here is a rank 2 fox that is articulate and eloquent. What is wrong with this world! This shouldn't be possible! Then I'm supposed to be a rank 1 with no potential myself.
If I could survive in a disaster zone it's not surprising for one to learn to speak. Makes sense.
[So, hum, nice to meet you, I guess. Sorry about beating you up earlier. So why is the snake looking at me like that?]
"He's trying to do puppy eyes to get petted."
0_0 What?! I was not expecting that.
Like not at all.
I slowly approach the snaky being. Gaze as burning as ever. I extend my hand. It lowers its head slowly.
*petting*
It keeps its eyes open all the while. Staring at me. Snakes don't have eyelids after all. Its tongue flickering in and out of its gaping maw.
Now that I look at it carefully …it is kind of cute?
I'm sure this scene would look peculiar to an onlooker.
But the creature is enjoying getting petted. I'm enjoying it too. All is good.
Wait, now is not the time for this!
[Let's stop this and quickly search for your father Zero!]
"Oh. He's gone home already."
[He has?! What did I miss?!]
"Apparently he was chased by a necromancer but W*low growl* … the fox here took care of it."
 [Seriously?! How?! He's super weak ….eh I mean …sorry about that…I mean I can see it happen if you brought the enemy into a trap. But I guess everything is fine now.]
"Yes sectmaster!"
The fox interjects. "No. That necromancer is still alive. What got destroyed was nothing but a dummy. His soul is still alive somewhere. It wouldn't be surprising if…"
[HELL NO! SHUT UP RIGHT NOW! THAT'S A FLAG!]
"…"
"…"
[If you say it out loud chances are something bad will happen. That's how flags work you know. Alright, let's head back to town. Then we can start making travel preparations. There is someplace I want to go.]
"Actually sectmaster, I'll stay here. You can go ahead without me."
[You mean you want to explore a bit? We can stay a few hours.]
"No, I've found the legacy of a powerful sword master here. I'll remain to study it."
There was such a thing in this forest? I've never seen the shadow of it. Weird. Is this what they call a protagonist aura? Being able to find hidden treasures easily?  But there is something more important.
[No! What will I do without you?!]
"You'll be fine sectmaster. I believe in you.
I'm getting flashbacks right now.
I swear this is the last time I am bringing someone to this forest! They all end up parting way with me!
Fuck. What now?

Have you ever heard of The Unnamed God Sect? 

It appeared suddenly. 
It grew exponentially by the second.
It accomplished miracles on a daily basis. 
It caused mayhem across the many worlds. 
It even ended up causing the destruction of many. 

Just when the people thought they were done, they turned their sight towards the gods. 
And that is how the age of the gods ended. 

How did this all happen? 

Well, all because of one peculiar mortal. 
One that ended up getting summoned by mistake.
One that didn't even know of his own power. 
One that would create The Unnamed God on a whim. 
And thus cause a chain reaction that would doom the world.

This is his story. In all its glory....and embarrassing moments.

1.02 am
"Quiet! Mouse, you go to unlock! I will stun him for a while and tie it up! When the boss takes their outpost, come to our side to meet! Kill the Kui Wolf directly tonight!"
"Good third brother! Look at me! This lock will open in minutes!"
Ding! An unknown armed person was detected intending to approach!
Yep? Watson, who was lying on the table, was sober instantly! Someone! Watson stood up to get the gift from Uncle Polk! It seems that I feel right tonight!
 "Shot! The mouse has not been opened yet! What are you doing?"
The sweaty mouse urged by the third brother said: "No, my third brother, I should have opened the lock! But this door is immobile!"
"Waste!"
Hua Sheng grinned and made a joke, the whole door was sealed with foam glue, and a wooden board was ordered, which was almost integrated into the wall! Still want to unlock? !
Watson who was stealing music was just about to go up to the second floor when he gave a friend outside the door to get off Mawei ...
Peng! ! !
A violent explosion sounded out of thin air! !
"Wotefak! What's going on!" The group of Zimao was frightened, and quickly looked at the skylight blazing in the distance!
Is the direction of the boss they attack!
··· Looking at the explosion place ···
The black snake looked at the countless dead and wounded younger brothers, and ignored the Kui wolf gangs who helped him around.
Looking toward the depth of the turbid smoke ahead, the tall outline gradually appeared.
"Kui! Wolf!"
"Hello, little short snake, this 'gift' must be very pleasant, right?"
A tall man came out of the smoke, with angular faces, full of wild hair, and layers of muscles about to explode!
 Wears a pair of spiked finger tigers!
Out of the smoke, the Kui Wolf looked at the embarrassed black snake, and the corner of his mouth slowly rose.
The black snake's eyes grew colder: "It's not over yet! Kui Wolf!"
The voice just fell! Behind Kui Wolf, a flash of cold light flashed! Kui Wolf seems to have been aware of it and turned sideways to the left! A dagger shimmering with cold light, skipped over the ear!
"Oh, little lewd snake, do you think I don't know where you are ?!"
Kui Wolf spoke disdainfully.
"Oh? Really ~"
With the silver dance dagger turned up in his hand, a graceful figure stood not far away, and his **** figure exuded a hormonal smell.
The tumbling dagger suddenly stopped, and the smooth tongue licked the blood beads on the dagger. At the same time, a gap appeared in the right ear of Kui Wolf! !
Kui Wolf's pupils full of wild danger contracted instantly!
Put away the disdainful wolf and looked at them, his muscles suddenly burst! The whole person exudes a dangerous beast! ! This! It is the Kui Wolf who makes the Black Snake and the Silver Snake afraid! !
"Today, no one wants to run!" The last word of Kui Lang just fell, and the whole person burst into an instant! Charged to the silver snake who had just attacked him! Report any hatred immediately! Crush your little head first!
 
 
The silver snake felt the threat of death at the moment when the wolf wolf moved, and his body bowed and ejected immediately! Never take it!
When the black snake saw Kui Wolf attacking the silver snake, he did not give up this opportunity! Charge towards Kui Wolf's back! I don't know when two daggers with purple light appeared!
"Little short snake! Which skill of African hybrids did you learn from behind!"
Twirled and punched the black snake, Kui Wolf laughed.
After listening to the black snake, the eyes of the snake pupil were even colder!
"Silver Snake! Solve him first! There is support behind, don't worry about other garbage!"
The silver snake also turned around, and the two rushed towards the Kui Wolf at the same time!
"Oh, trouble!" Kui Wolf also rushed to the two without showing any weakness!
........
House of Roar
"Third brother, it seems that they are the boss!" One of the little brothers couldn't help saying.
"Nonsense! I know that too! The mouse let go! Fuck, I don't believe it! After entering, kill the kid directly! Back!"
Said to the purple hair that retreated to the flower bed beside the road, and took out a grenade directly! Pull the fuze and throw it at the electric gate!
 Peng! !
With this loud noise, the electric gate has been blown out of a big hole! Although the electric gate can not be opened outside, it is obvious that there is no thick anti-theft door!
Zi Mao several people immediately rushed into the smoke after the explosion! Just walked to the hole! Then came a violent shooting!
Turned out to be Watson who had already got his gun loaded! Watson, who had already run to the back room, was about to go back upstairs, but suddenly a violent explosion almost scared him!
Nima! I just unlocked it! Grenade directly without unlocking! ? ? Do you want to be so irritable! ? The span is too big! If it weren't for me to enter the back room, I might just be cold now!
Reacted to Watson's heart very clearly! The grenades are all brought, and there must be guns too!
At such a short distance, I still have a wound! I can't run away anyway! It's better to do it directly! Whoever shoots first wins!
Crossed anyway, what are you afraid of? ! Open the door and lean directly on the shelf of the car repair machine next to the door. Use the machine as a bunker and aim at the hole that was blown up! Seeing a few hazy figures is a shot of Xia Ji! ! Half the 16 bullets of Glock in the hand! A scream came from the moment!
I am kidding, although when I hit the target, there are rarely more than 4 rings! But at a distance of only five or six meters, a person with such a large target cannot miss the target! But in the next second, Watson immediately turned to the door! Hang the door bolt! Go upstairs, in one go!
 Is not counseling, but I do n't know a few of them. When they react, they ca n't stop a small pistol! more importantly! Watson heard the most coveted voice since crossing! (Well, it 's definitely not a problem!)
Ding! Detected that the host kills souls-members of the Black Snake Gang! Experience plus 5!

Ding! The host meets the conditions ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ open the character template! Open personal map!
Please upgrade the host a lot! Summon the Monster Corps as soon as possible!
Ding! System Link World-Monster Hunter World!
"It's a system! Hahaha! I said that as a traversal! Both parents died as standard! How could the supporting system not appear! And, it is the monster hunter world that I am familiar with!" Watson laughed in surprise. !
"Just now, the system said to summon the monster army as soon as possible? Could it be possible to summon the dragon in the monster hunter world !?" That was the dragon of the fantasy world! The gradually calm Watson suppressed his emotions.
"System, open personal map first!" There is no time to look at personal attributes now, let's solve those few people first!
Ding! The host is detected in a fighting state! Whether to load into the hunter state battle!
Ding! Hunter state will have the game data body! Immune to fatal injuries! But fatal injuries can cause tearing effects!
Hunter status? Must be loaded! Even the original novice hunter has super physical fitness!
"Load!"
As soon as the voice fell, the heart began to radiate white light and instantly wrapped the whole body of Watson
After the white light! A new Watson with streamlined and muscular muscles is online!
Looked down at his first-level hunter leather outfit, and his left hand had been completely restored! Shaking hands and feeling a completely different power, plus a small map.
"Hey, now, see who is the hunter!"

Watson travels through the Marvel world!

Connect the monster hunter world!

US team against flying thunder dragon! Tony, I need an anti-electric suit!

Hulk and Horned Dragon fight for power!

The super-ant man wiped the saliva on his face and looked up at the scaly dragon above his head. . . Have a discussion, don’t eat me?

Faced with the army of Cheryta like the ant frenzy, they looked back at a group of fire dragons covering the sky, scorn, a group of scum!

Experience the invasion of the Marvel world by the dragons!

I sighed. My first VRMMO battle ended in disaster.
Currently, I was hiding inside a hollow tree trunk somewhere in the pitch-black forest, waiting for my magic to recover.
[NO NAME] [Infant Demon] 83/99
・A nameless infant demon. A spiritual life-form. Extremely fragile.
[Magic Points: 7/10]
[Total Combat Power: 9/11]
[Unique Skill: Reroll]
I'd heard that when players die, they lose 10% of their stats, but then why did I lose a whole half of mine? Was it just how it work for monsters? Or was it just for spiritual life-forms like me? Damn it, I had no idea.
Could it be? Could it possibly be that spiritual life-forms were incredibly weak?
At least my magic recovered over time. I had just a single magic point when I respawned. At the time, I seriously thought there was no way to progress any further.
My body shrank due to losing half my magic, which allowed me to hide within a hollow tree. What should I do now…? If I immediately died again, my character would probably be deleted, right?
The AI said my inventory would be dropped at my point of death, but this Identification Crystal still stayed with me. I wasn't sure why. Perhaps it was because the crystal was a basic item for new players, or perhaps because I kept it inside my body. Anyway, thank god for that.
 
There had been a few discoveries while I was holing up in this tree.
My magic recovered by 1 approximately each hour. I didn't know if this was a flat increase of 1, or if it was a 10% recovery, since my current maximum magic was exactly 10. The things I could do would be different, depending on which it was.
After using [Identification] on a few wild animals passing by my tree, I found out something. If I lost all my magic power, it's over for me, but when normal animals' magic points dropped to zero, they just fainted. They only died when their hit points dropped to zero.
…is this normal?
Next, when normal animals lost some magic points, their combat power still stayed the same. However, their magic points would drop bit by bit when in combat. I didn't know whether it was because they used magic to attack, because combat itself took magic power, or because they strengthened themselves magically.
I saw a snake attacking a squirrel. When the squirrel died, the snake sucked up some kind of mist from its corpse.
I could see pretty well despite the darkness. Was it just how the game was, or was it because I was a monster?
And finally, there was a drone beetle. It approached me, thinking I was some kind of tree sap and I killed it, but I didn't get any stronger.
 
At any rate, I needed to find a way to fight. Judging from appearances, the only things weaker than that caterpillar that I could find were the 'snakes', the 'field mice', and the 'squirrels'.
Which meant that the caterpillar was the weakest monster in this forest. And right now, I was much weaker than it.
Just using my unique skill, [Reroll], to make the caterpillar miss already ate up around 10 of my magic power, so it wasn't practical at the moment.
But there was one good thing that came from that mess. All that desperate running around helped me get used to this body, and the nausea was much more tolerable now.
Not much of a silver lining, really.
Anyway, my next goal was to get strong enough to kill a squirrel.
***
There should be a way to leverage my doughiness, I thought. Which resulted in my current attempt to ambush a squirrel from above a tree. I dropped and covered it with my whole body.
At first, the squirrel violently resisted. It suffocated and stopped moving after a while, and I absorbed some kind of mist from it. Hmm, I didn't feel anything different…
[NO NAME] [Infant Demon] 82/99
・A nameless infant demon. A spiritual life-form. Extremely fragile.
[Magic Points: 10/10]
[Total Combat Power: 11/11]
[Unique Skill: Reroll]
Yup, nothing changed. And the corpse was still here. What do I do with it?
Do I eat it? How? I wasn't going to melt it down like normal slimes. Even my own doughy body looked far tastier.
Well, I couldn't do anything about it, so I just left it there… was this really fine, though? I only had my theoretical knowledge. It wasn't like I'd ever played a game before.
 
Since then, I killed another two mice with the same method. Finally, something changed.
[NO NAME] 79/99
[Magic Points: 10/11] 1↑
[Total Combat Power: 11/12] 1↑
Both my magic power and combat power rose by 1. It was just a single point, but it did increase. It made me happy, true, but mostly I just felt relieved.
Ah, another snake showed up, attracted by the corpse. It looked like my body had some pretty sharp senses. I managed to learn how to detect 'presences' now, somehow.
I swiftly and carefully snuck my way up the tree, back to my old ambush spot. The snake still hadn't noticed me.
My handling of my body had gotten much better. I was probably as fast as that caterpillar now. Not exactly an impressive achievement, I know.
The feeling of being an indistinct mass still made me nauseous, but little by little, it had gotten better. Tolerable, now.
 
I hid myself on the tree and looked down. The 1-meter long snake slithered toward the mouse I killed – oh, wait, another snake showed up.
The two began to intimidate each other over the meal.
[Snake] 78/99
[Magic Points: 5/5]   [Hit Points: 15/15]
[Total Combat Power: 15]
Huh, snakes were weak. Still stronger than me and squirrels, though. Also, Identification Crystal, you didn't even put any thought into naming them, did you?
They hissed.
…can you two please do this somewhere else? You're messing up my plans here. I could just not peep and go elsewhere, but I was afraid I'd accidentally run across another snake or caterpillar in the process.
Both of them were about the same strength. Perhaps that was why none of them were willing to back off and miss out on a fresh meal. They began fighting.
Both of them twisted, turned, and generally just tried to constrict the other. The fight looked… really boring. After some time, one of them finally landed a bite on the other's neck.
Yup, boring. It kept biting for a while, then won the fight just like that. Again, the winner absorbed the mist-like thing from the loser.
[Snake] 77/99
[Magic Points: 3/6] 1↑  [Hit Points: 8/16] 1↑
[Total Combat Power: 16] 1↑
Oh? Its stats went up a bit. Was this a 'level up' kind of thing, as I suspected?
The winning snake was hesitating between the mouse and its newly-killed meal… whoops, it saw me.
Fine, then. Preemptive self-defense! I jumped down from the branch and wrapped myself all around the snake. It shrieked something fierce.
Ooohh crap, it's big. At the moment I only had enough volume to fill a bowl, so I couldn't completely cover the snake.
It retaliated by constricting me, but failed due to my sloppy, doughy body.
And then I felt the snake suddenly heat up. Without warning, it chomped at me in a burst of newly-discovered strength. That hurt quite a bit!
[Snake] 76/99
[Magic Points: 2/6]  [Hit Points: 8/16]
[Total Combat Power: 16]
The snake's magic power dropped. So it's true, then, that you needed magic to strengthen yourself.
[NO NAME] 75/99
[Magic Points: 8/11]
[Total Combat Power: 10/12]
Hey, I just got my magic back up again! You damn reptile!
In my anger, I started to flail about. From my doughy body came whips to bash, to kick, to punch, and generally just throwing a tantrum right on the snake. I didn't even know what I was doing.
The snake's body cooled down, perhaps running out of magic. Then a few of my tentacles hit its head, but they were deflected.
…eh? Really?
The snake gave a few twitches, which stopped after I covered its head and squeezed. My body sucked in the mist from the corpse.
…I won.
[NO NAME] [Infant Demon] 74/99
・A nameless infant demon. A spiritual life-form. Extremely fragile.
[Magic Points: 8/13] 2↑
[Total Combat Power: 10/14] 2↑
[Unique Skill: Reroll]
So, I got stronger when I won and absorbed the mist. Was that mist the snake's magic? Vitality? I guess I'll just call it 'life force'.
My guess – huh, it'd been a lot of guessing and hypothesizing, hadn't it? – was that for monsters and animals that had physical bodies, their Total Combat Power enumerated the power they had only when they strengthened themselves with magic, while spiritual life-forms like me always fought with 100% of my Total Combat Power.
I had always thought spiritual life-forms to be weak, but if this hypothesis proved true, I needn't be. Hopefully.
 
Also, please let me learn [Identification] already.

A back-to-basics(?) monster evolution novel.

A new VRMMORPG, “World of Yggdrasia”, was recruiting beta testers from all over the world. Ten thousand testers began their journey of swords and sorcery in a new realm, one that was as large as Earth.

At the same time, a clandestine experiment was underway. Unbeknownst to the world at large, 100 secret alpha testers were given bodies of monsters and summoned to the same land.

The girl of white was one such tester. Despite the odds against her, she continued to evolve again and again. To rebel against the real world’s invasion, she would become a most terrible beast, the destroyer of worlds… the Bunny Girl!

“…wait, what? Me?”

Our protagonist would survive, unyielding, knowing no despair.

{ THIS IS NOT MY STORY I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE ORIGINAL AUTHERS PERMISSION BECAULSE THEY DONT HAVE A DISCORD SOMEONE ELSE HAS POSTED THIS BUT THEY ONLY POSTED THE FIRST FIVE CHAPTORS AND I JUST WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE THIS NOVEL WITCH I THINK IS GOOD}

I sighed. My first VRMMO battle ended in disaster.

Currently, I was hiding inside a hollow tree trunk somewhere in the pitch-black forest, waiting for my magic to recover.

[NO NAME] [Infant Demon] 83/99 ・A nameless infant demon. A spiritual life-form. Extremely fragile. [Magic Points: 7/10] [Total Combat Power: 9/11] [Unique Skill: Reroll]

I'd heard that when players die, they lose 10% of their stats, but then why did I lose a whole half of mine? Was it just how it work for monsters? Or was it just for spiritual life-forms like me? Damn it, I had no idea.

Could it be? Could it possibly be that spiritual life-forms were incredibly weak?

At least my magic recovered over time. I had just a single magic point when I respawned. At the time, I seriously thought there was no way to progress any further.

My body shrank due to losing half my magic, which allowed me to hide within a hollow tree. What should I do now…? If I immediately died again, my character would probably be deleted, right?

The AI said my inventory would be dropped at my point of death, but this Identification Crystal still stayed with me. I wasn't sure why. Perhaps it was because the crystal was a basic item for new players, or perhaps because I kept it inside my body. Anyway, thank god for that.

 

There had been a few discoveries while I was holing up in this tree.

My magic recovered by 1 approximately each hour. I didn't know if this was a flat increase of 1, or if it was a 10% recovery, since my current maximum magic was exactly 10. The things I could do would be different, depending on which it was.

After using [Identification] on a few wild animals passing by my tree, I found out something. If I lost all my magic power, it's over for me, but when normal animals' magic points dropped to zero, they just fainted. They only died when their hit points dropped to zero.

…is this normal?

Next, when normal animals lost some magic points, their combat power still stayed the same. However, their magic points would drop bit by bit when in combat. I didn't know whether it was because they used magic to attack, because combat itself took magic power, or because they strengthened themselves magically.

I saw a snake attacking a squirrel. When the squirrel died, the snake sucked up some kind of mist from its corpse.

I could see pretty well despite the darkness. Was it just how the game was, or was it because I was a monster?

And finally, there was a drone beetle. It approached me, thinking I was some kind of tree sap and I killed it, but I didn't get any stronger.

 

At any rate, I needed to find a way to fight. Judging from appearances, the only things weaker than that caterpillar that I could find were the 'snakes', the 'field mice', and the 'squirrels'.

Which meant that the caterpillar was the weakest monster in this forest. And right now, I was much weaker than it.

Just using my unique skill, [Reroll], to make the caterpillar miss already ate up around 10 of my magic power, so it wasn't practical at the moment.

But there was one good thing that came from that mess. All that desperate running around helped me get used to this body, and the nausea was much more tolerable now.

Not much of a silver lining, really.

Anyway, my next goal was to get strong enough to kill a squirrel.

***

There should be a way to leverage my doughiness, I thought. Which resulted in my current attempt to ambush a squirrel from above a tree. I dropped and covered it with my whole body.

At first, the squirrel violently resisted. It suffocated and stopped moving after a while, and I absorbed some kind of mist from it. Hmm, I didn't feel anything different…

[NO NAME] [Infant Demon] 82/99 ・A nameless infant demon. A spiritual life-form. Extremely fragile. [Magic Points: 10/10] [Total Combat Power: 11/11] [Unique Skill: Reroll]

Yup, nothing changed. And the corpse was still here. What do I do with it?

Do I eat it? How? I wasn't going to melt it down like normal slimes. Even my own doughy body looked far tastier.

Well, I couldn't do anything about it, so I just left it there… was this really fine, though? I only had my theoretical knowledge. It wasn't like I'd ever played a game before.

 

Since then, I killed another two mice with the same method. Finally, something changed.

[NO NAME] 79/99 [Magic Points: 10/11] 1↑ [Total Combat Power: 11/12] 1↑

Both my magic power and combat power rose by 1. It was just a single point, but it did increase. It made me happy, true, but mostly I just felt relieved.

Ah, another snake showed up, attracted by the corpse. It looked like my body had some pretty sharp senses. I managed to learn how to detect 'presences' now, somehow.

I swiftly and carefully snuck my way up the tree, back to my old ambush spot. The snake still hadn't noticed me.

My handling of my body had gotten much better. I was probably as fast as that caterpillar now. Not exactly an impressive achievement, I know.

The feeling of being an indistinct mass still made me nauseous, but little by little, it had gotten better. Tolerable, now.

 

I hid myself on the tree and looked down. The 1-meter long snake slithered toward the mouse I killed – oh, wait, another snake showed up.

The two began to intimidate each other over the meal.

[Snake] 78/99 [Magic Points: 5/5]   [Hit Points: 15/15] [Total Combat Power: 15]

Huh, snakes were weak. Still stronger than me and squirrels, though. Also, Identification Crystal, you didn't even put any thought into naming them, did you?

They hissed.

…can you two please do this somewhere else? You're messing up my plans here. I could just not peep and go elsewhere, but I was afraid I'd accidentally run across another snake or caterpillar in the process.

Both of them were about the same strength. Perhaps that was why none of them were willing to back off and miss out on a fresh meal. They began fighting.

Both of them twisted, turned, and generally just tried to constrict the other. The fight looked… really boring. After some time, one of them finally landed a bite on the other's neck.

Yup, boring. It kept biting for a while, then won the fight just like that. Again, the winner absorbed the mist-like thing from the loser.

[Snake] 77/99 [Magic Points: 3/6] 1↑  [Hit Points: 8/16] 1↑ [Total Combat Power: 16] 1↑

Oh? Its stats went up a bit. Was this a 'level up' kind of thing, as I suspected?

The winning snake was hesitating between the mouse and its newly-killed meal… whoops, it saw me.

Fine, then. Preemptive self-defense! I jumped down from the branch and wrapped myself all around the snake. It shrieked something fierce.

Ooohh crap, it's big. At the moment I only had enough volume to fill a bowl, so I couldn't completely cover the snake.

It retaliated by constricting me, but failed due to my sloppy, doughy body.

And then I felt the snake suddenly heat up. Without warning, it chomped at me in a burst of newly-discovered strength. That hurt quite a bit!

[Snake] 76/99 [Magic Points: 2/6]  [Hit Points: 8/16] [Total Combat Power: 16]

The snake's magic power dropped. So it's true, then, that you needed magic to strengthen yourself.

[NO NAME] 75/99 [Magic Points: 8/11] [Total Combat Power: 10/12]

Hey, I just got my magic back up again! You damn reptile!

In my anger, I started to flail about. From my doughy body came whips to bash, to kick, to punch, and generally just throwing a tantrum right on the snake. I didn't even know what I was doing.

The snake's body cooled down, perhaps running out of magic. Then a few of my tentacles hit its head, but they were deflected.

…eh? Really?

The snake gave a few twitches, which stopped after I covered its head and squeezed. My body sucked in the mist from the corpse.

…I won.

[NO NAME] [Infant Demon] 74/99 ・A nameless infant demon. A spiritual life-form. Extremely fragile. [Magic Points: 8/13] 2↑ [Total Combat Power: 10/14] 2↑ [Unique Skill: Reroll]

So, I got stronger when I won and absorbed the mist. Was that mist the snake's magic? Vitality? I guess I'll just call it 'life force'.

My guess – huh, it'd been a lot of guessing and hypothesizing, hadn't it? – was that for monsters and animals that had physical bodies, their Total Combat Power enumerated the power they had only when they strengthened themselves with magic, while spiritual life-forms like me always fought with 100% of my Total Combat Power.

I had always thought spiritual life-forms to be weak, but if this hypothesis proved true, I needn't be. Hopefully.

 

Also, please let me learn [Identification] already.



A back-to-basics(?) monster evolution novel.

A new VRMMORPG, “World of Yggdrasia”, was recruiting beta testers from all over the world. Ten thousand testers began their journey of swords and sorcery in a new realm, one that was as large as Earth.

At the same time, a clandestine experiment was underway. Unbeknownst to the world at large, 100 secret alpha testers were given bodies of monsters and summoned to the same land.

The girl of white was one such tester. Despite the odds against her, she continued to evolve again and again. To rebel against the real world’s invasion, she would become a most terrible beast, the destroyer of worlds… the Bunny Girl!

“…wait, what? Me?”

Our protagonist would survive, unyielding, knowing no despair.

A mouse took a stroll through the deep, dark wood. A fox saw the mouse and the mouse looked good. "Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have lunch in my underground house."
"Oh! That's terribly kind of you Fox, but no. I am going to have lunch with a gruffalo."
"A gruffalo? What's a gruffalo?"
"A gruffalo? Why, didn't you know? He has terrible tusks and terrible claws. And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws."
"And where are you meeting him?"
"Here, by these rocks. And his favorite food is roasted fox."
"Roasted fox! I'm off!" Fox said, "Goodbye little mouse!" And away he sped. "Haha. Silly old Fox, doesn't he know? There's no such thing as a gruffalo." On went the mouse, through the deep, dark wood. An owl saw the mouse, and the mouse looked good. " Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have tea in my treetop house."
"Oh! That's terribly kind of you Owl, but no. I'm going to have tea with a gruffalo."
"A gruffalo? What's a gruffalo?"
"A gruffalo? Why, didn't you know? He has knobly knees and turned out toes. And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose."
"And where are you meeting him?"
"Here, by this stream. And his favorite food is owl ice cream."
"Owl ice cream! Hoohoo! Goodbye little mouse!" and away Owl flew. "Haha! Silly old Owl, doesn't he know? There's no such thing as a gruffalo." On went the mouse, through the deep, dark wood. A snake saw the mouse, and the mouse looked good. "Where are you going, little brown moussse? Come for a feassst in my log pile houssse."
"Oh! That's terribly kind of you Snake, but no. I'm having a feast with a gruffalo."
"A gruffalo? What'sss a gruffalo?"
A gruffalo? Why, didn't you know? His eyes are orange, his tongue is black, he has purple prickles all over his back."
"And where are you meeting him?"
"Here, by this lake. And his favorite food is scrambled snake."
"Ssscrambled sssnake! It's time I hid. Goodbye little moussse!" And away Snake slid. "Haha! Silly old Snake, doesn't he know? There's no such thing as a gruffa Oh!" But who this creature, with terrible claws and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws. He has knobly knees and turned out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose. His eyes are orange and his tongue is black. He has purple prickles all over his back. "Oh help! Oh no! It's a gruffalo!"
"My favorite food" the gruffalo said, "you'll taste good on a slice of bread."
"Good!" said the mouse, "Don't call me good! I'm the scariest creature in this wood! Just, walk behind me and soon you'll see, everyone is afraid of me."
"Haha! Alright" said the gruffalo, bursting with laughter, "You go ahead and I'll follow after." They walked and walked. Till the gruffalo said "I hear a hiss in the leaves ahead."
"It's Snake" said the mouse. "Why Snake! Hello!" Snake took one look at the gruffalo. He said "Goodbye little moussse!" And off he slid, to his log pile house. "You see!" said the mouse, "I told you so!"
"Amazing" said the gruffalo. They walked some more, until the gruffalo said, "I hear a hoot in the trees ahead."
"Oh! It's Owl" said the mouse. "Why Owl! Hello!" Owl took one look at the gruffalo. "Oh dear" he said. "Goodbye little mouse!" And off he flew to his treetop house. "You see" said the mouse, "I told you so!"
"Astounding" said the gruffalo. They walked some more, till the gruffalo said "I can hear feet on the path ahead."
"It's Fox" said the mouse, "Why Fox! Hello!" Fox took one look at the gruffalo. "Oh help!" he said, "Goodbye little mouse!" And off he ran to his underground house. "Well Gruffalo" said the mouse, "You see, everyone is afraid of me. But now my tummy is beginning to rumble. And my favorite food is gruffalo crumble."
"Gruffalo crumble!" the gruffalo said. And quick as the wind, he turned and fled. All was quiet in the deep, dark wood. The mouse found a nut and the nut was good.

Chapter 77

"Hey, can we meet?" Andy called over the phone.

"I have baked your favorite cake and I've got  another present."

The person on the other line  agreed without hesitation which brought a twisted smile on Andy's face.

It was a one chilly night. Andy got out of her car and gaze upon the entire height of the building in front of her before making her way inside.

She rung the doorbell as soon as she reached Lea's apartment.

The girl welcomed her warmly, already in her night gown. Andy smirked at the back of her mind.

"What's that?" Lea asked.

Besides the cake on her left hand, she also carry something in her right. 

It's nothing big, but Lea can't figure out what it is because it was covered with a dark shade of clothing.

"It's a present." 

"A surprise present." Andy answered.

That brought a flirtatious smile on Lea. They made their way to the kitchen.

"Guess I will have a taste of the cake first." Lea said sounding excited and pulled a drawer in search for a knife.

But Andy already pulled out one from her pocket and stabbed it right at the center of the round cake. 

Lea jolted. Her visitor stabbed it with force. She arched her brow in question as she look intently on the knife.

It wasn't a knife for pastry at all. It's more of a dagger with a hole at the end of the handle.

Also, the air around Andy begun to thickens but her smile remains the sweetest.

"Oh, did I startle you?"

"Sorry about that." She then started to slice the cake with that dagger. 

Lea just intently observing unable to move or say anything. 

"Right, can I borrow a shirt I can wear?" Andy requested.

"I smell like a trash bin as I ran my way here." 

Baffled, Lea just nodded. She can already feel uneasiness that something is not right. 

And so she kept on glancing at Andy as she walk her way to her bedroom to get that change of clothes.

Then again, she jolted for the second time as she turned around from her closet. Andy was already standing and looking down on her bedside table where her phone is. She didn't even notice her entering.

Lea's fear gradually grow. Though, she doesn't know certainly why but Andy's aura gave off wrathful grimace. It was as though the air around her felt so heavy and dark. 

Then Andy suddenly stabbed Lea's phone with the tip of the dagger in her hand. 

It broke.

Lea gasped. "What are you doing?" 

Andy turned with a loathsome grin and a murderous eyes.

"A chess pawn to your game?" Andy sarcastically uttered.

Lea instinctively took a step back; her heart begun to raise and her muscles shook.

"I was a good pitcher in middle school." Andy casually said while tossing Lea's broken phone in the air... then threw it hard, hitting a flower base across the room. 

The sound of shattering glass made Lea to scream in fear.

"Ops, no screaming." Andy gestured for silence. 

Her hand was playing the dagger masterfully by then.

"Scream, or I might slip my hand and may cut your throat."

Terror sucked the very breath of Lea. Her chest tightened in fear as she covered her mouth to silence herself. 

Andy went to close the window in the other side of the room and commanded Lea to open that present she brought earlier. 

It was laid down in the center of the bed already.

Climbing on the bed with her trembling legs, Lea pulled the clothing covering that present with her shaking hands. 

Another gasped of air escaped from her lungs.

It was a white mouse in a cage. 

"Free it." Andy commanded. 

Lea did so without question even if she has dozens of them. 

The mouse crawled out of the cage, stopped for a second on the bed then blood spread gradually on the white sheet as Andy's dagger pierce through the mouse body.

Lea let out a small cry of shock witnessing the mouse twisting in pain as pinned by the dagger on the bed. 

Lea felt like vomiting.

"Oh, I'm also good at dart." Andy said while slowly walking closer.

"I'll do the same if you try to walk out." 

Lea shivered in fear looking at Andy's smug face; smug like a snake.
