The World Serpent

The Blue Light of Nuclear Radiation shone within the Second Chamber. Anything that gets close to such light will burn or die. The Blue Light cause the Giant Formation of Rocks such as Pillars and Statues to create strange Shadows. And within the Second Chamber was a Pond. The Pond was in the center of the Second Chamber, and it was known as the Incubation Pond for the Next Generation of Homoanuras. It was the Pond where the Baby Homoanuras got kept.

The Pond within the Second Chamber had its Water calmed until the Water began making small waves. A White Serpent slowly exited the Pond with its Water dripping from the White Serpent's Scales. The Water in the Pond was Clear, and the Bottom was also Clear. The White Serpent emitted a Cold Atmosphere within the Second Chamber. It looked around and slithered towards a Tunnel's Entrance leading to the Third Chamber.

'That took a lot of effort.' Persia thought as she flicked her Snake Tongue. Eating all of them wasn't easy as she needed to be careful. She didn't want to destroy them by accident. She already ate all the things she could eat within the Second Chamber. Persia only needed to wait for the Digestion to finish. She looked around the Second Chamber again and curled up her body. She wanted to rest and wait for the food inside her to digest.

'To think that I would eat Eggs... Well, I won't discriminate as Every Egg is Food and Food is Food.' Persia shook her Head with a smirk plastered on her face. She would eat everything that was considered food. It doesn't matter what the age was, as anything with Biological Cells contained Biomass. She didn't know how much she ate, but Persia knew that she ate numerous eggs within the Pond. Persia lay down her Head to her Body, and Multiple Notifications echoed within her mind.

*Ding!*

[You have eaten 30 Amphibian Creatures named Homoanuras... You have gained 450 Biomass.]

[You have eaten 2000 Undeveloped Creatures named Homoanuras... You have gained 600 Biomass.]

[You have reached the Biomass Requirements for Level up...]

[Leveling Up.]

[You have gained a Level.]

[You have reached the Biomass Requirements for Level up...]

[Leveling Up.]

[You have gained a Level.]

[Level Up has affected your Attributes by a Small Factor.]

[Level Up rewards: 20 Points.]

[Your Dimensions has increased to 400 cm in length, 13 cm in Diameter]

A Bright Light shone within Persia's Body. It Illuminated the Whole Second Chamber and replaced the Blue Light of Nuclear Radiation above the Ceiling. Persia began levitating in the air, and she got forced to sleep. While Persia was unconscious, Her Body began molding itself within the Bright Orb of Light. Such Light didn't go unnoticed.

The Bright Light the Level Up emitted was quickly noticed by the Frogs from the Third Chamber, The First Chamber, and The Entrance Chamber. They hopped towards the Second Chamber like a Horde. They knew that it came from the Second Chamber. The Chamber of their Next Generation.

It has been hours since Persia was active within the Ancient Temple. The Frog took it as a sign of the Predator escaping as Persia practically disappeared. They were cautious and put 30 Elite Frogs in the Second Chamber while blocking every Entrance with an Army of Frogs. But such preparations were all for naught as the Second Chamber got breached.

They didn't see what kind of Predator it was other than the Information about the Predator being a Serpent. They didn't see any trail that a Serpent leaves. They also didn't see any sign of Predators in the First Chamber. They didn't even see the bodies of their fallen comrades. The Second Bright Light gave Persia's Location, and there was no way of escaping.

The Bright Light within Persia's Body slowly dimmed. It was the sign of her Leveling Process reaching its finale. Her Body that was bolding itself slowly hardened. Persia's Snake body got Longer and Larger. She grew approximately more than 1/4 of her Recent Size. A White Later, The Bright Light disappeared, and Persia finished her Leveling Process.

Persia was unconscious near the Pond. She had her body curled up together, with her head laying on top of her body. She slowly began to move her head, signifying that she was waking up. She didn't know why but she couldn't force herself to be awake on the Leveling Process. She would always get unconscious and wake up seconds later after the Leveling Process.

'Hmm... It's done.' Persia thought as her head rose from her body. She looked around the Second Chamber and found Silenced. Even though the Whole Second Chamber was in silence. She could hear the Frogs heading towards her using the Seismic Tracking. They were heading to her in every direction from the Third Chamber, First Chamber, and Entrance Chamber.

'It seems that they have found me.' Persia thought to herself as she furrowed her non-existent eyebrow. She began stretching her body and rolled it on the Soft Ground. She then looked around to find an Exit. The Small Tunnel she entered was not a good hiding spot. She needed to find a new escape route that would help her leave the Second Chamber and head towards the Second Chamber.

'Ego, are you there?' Persia asked if Ego was awake. Ego was already her Trusted Partner that was inside her Brain. There was an Old Saying of Two Minds are Better than One. She was the Intelligent counterpart of Persia. Although Ego lack creativity in her first days. It was due to her being too Intelligent. Ego was slowly learning and making weird things from Persia's Skills.

<Alive and Well, Sister.>

'I leveled up 2x, which is a surprise but a welcome one. I don't think that increasing my Attributes or Allocating my Points to Attributes is a good thing. We should focus our Points on Skills instead.' Persia was the one giving suggestions towards Ego. She valued not being alone in the Wild. It was better for Persia to have someone to talk to. Although that someone was herself or another part of herself.

<That is a good suggestion, but why is Sister the one giving me Suggestions?>

Ego has already been used to giving suggestions towards Persia. It was strange for Persia to be giving Suggestions towards Ego. After all, Persia was the Original or Main Mind. Ego was just a Duplicate or a Parallel of Persia's Mind. Persia froze hearing Ego's words and shook her head.

'You are a part of Me that has the possibility to make ideas possible. I'm not capable of multitasking as I would always focus on the situation in front of me. I'm also like the one that keeps producing dumb and strange ideas while you are the one that makes them possible. But the Role between the two of us might change depending on the Situation.' Persia thought.

<Sister's Point is good. We need to work hard to survive.>

<Well... From the Skills inside Sister. The Skill that would be useful in our current Situation is the Inferior Barrier Skill. I manage to turn the Barrier into a Killing Machine. It can also get considered as our Second Main Weapon. Aside from the Droplet of Death. The More the Inferior Barrier Evolves, The More Shapes and Easy the Control would be. The Inferior Barrier could also destroy obstacles which made it good choice than the Droplet of Death.>

'Good Suggestion, We could add spokes in the Edges of the Circular Grinder you made.' Persia gave an idea about the Circular Grinder that Ego got. It was a good way to use the Barrier Skill. She could make many things using the Barrier. The only problem was the Stamina conservation. If Ego implemented the Spikes, It would shred everything in its way.

<Sister, We could even create small sharp daggers and control them to stab any creature that goes near us.>

'But grinding them is still a good idea. Although it won't be clean like the dagger, It would create a Psychological Advantage. Now that I think about it, why not just create both of them.' Persia accepted the two ideas they could use on Inferior Barrier. She then opened her Status and began finding the Inferior Barrier. She had many Skills within her that she was having a hard time finding one specific skill.

'Let's Allocate all the Points to Barrier.' Persia thought as she began putting all points to the Barrier. She wondered what kind of Barrier she could get. Numerous Notifications then echoed within Persia's Mind. It seems that the Skill Evolution had started.

[20 Points will be allocated to Inferior Barrier...]

[Inferior Barrier has reached the Threshold.]

[Evolving...]

[Skill Evolution Complete.]

[Mortal Barrier has been gained.]

[Mortal Barrier has reached the Threshold.]

[Evolving...]

[Skill Evolution Complete.]

[Superior Barrier has been gained.]

[Skill Description: The User could acquire the ability to use the Barrier. The User could form anything with the Barrier and use it as long as Imagination is within the User. Stamina cost might be high, and the Breaking Point of the Barrier is dependent on the current Defense Attribute of the User.]

[Current Evolution: The User could create All Shapes from 2d to 3d Shapes. She could also use 5 Separate Barriers at once. Control would be Better, and the Stamina Efficiency will be higher.]

[Skill Status: Lethal.]

'We can create 5 Different Barriers at once. We can also create them in any Shapes. It seems that the Skill had become Overpowered. To think that a Defense Skill would be a Killing Machine.' Persia shook her head while staring at the notifications in front of her. She was reading them and checking every information she could use.

'Ego, The Skill has finished Evolving. Begin the Operation.' Persia ordered Ego to begin the testing operation of the Barrier Skill. She wanted to know the limits of the Barrier Skill. She wanted to know all of its basics before using it as a Weapon. Accidents could happen if she didn't check everything about her Main Weapon skills.

<Understood.>

Within the Second Chamber, A White Translucent Barrier appeared in front of the White Serpent. It looked like a Cube that was half the size of the Serpent itself. The White Serpent looked at the White Translucent Cube as it began changing its form. It was transforming into something else.

<Moulding will start...>

<Changing Specific Shape to Rectangular Cube.>

<Carving Rectangular Cube to Rough Shape of the Dagger.>

'Wow, It's forming.' Persia thought while looking at the Translucent Barrier levitating in front of her. It was forming into a rough shape of the Dagger. The only thing Ego needed to do was add the finishing touches within the Dagger. Make it Sharper and Make it easy to use.

<Rough Shape of Dagger Completed.>

<From Pommel to Point is 25cm.>

<The Width is 2cm.>

<Blade will get sharpened.>

<Sharpening Complete...>

<Adding Finishing Touch.>

The Rough Shape turned into a Dagger. It was a White Translucent Dagger. The only thing Ego needed to do was add finishing touches to the Dagger. From the Hilt, Cross-Guard, and the Blade. There was no need for the Hilt, but it would solve the balancing issues, and it would be easier to use.

<Dagger Moulding Complete.>

<Recording Process...>

<Done.>

The White Translucent Dagger began orbiting around Persia. She looked at it with amazement within her Cold Blooded Eyes. It was the first time she could see something that was familiar. Although it wasn't a knife, It was a knife that was double-bladed. She tried to control the Dagger and push it towards the Pillar.

It charged to the Pillar like a bullet and hit the Giant Pillar. The White Translucent Dagger penetrated the Giant Pillar, and Half of its Blade was under the Giant Pillar. Persia then took it out of the Pillar, and it levitated around Persia's head. Before she could continue her fun, The Vibrations were in front of the Second Chamber.

'They took too long.' Persia thought while looking at the Tunnels that lead to the Entrance Chamber. It has been a while since she woke up, but the Frogs were still hopping towards her. Although they were slow, They brought hundreds of their comrades towards the Second Chamber.

'Ego, Activate the Barrier... Make Three Daggers and Two Grinder Disk with Spikes.' Three White Translucent Daggers and Two White Translucent Grinder Disk with Spikes appeared right next to her. It was the start of a battle, and since Persia couldn't find an Escape Route.. She would fight and charged through them.
