Slithering My Way To Heavens - Chapter 1 Reborn
‘Didn’t I die? How am I still able to think?.’
‘What is that light?’
I approached and reached out to it with something immaterial. It felt as if, I had no body to feel off anything.
‘Ding’
[Summon number 1,000,000,000,000,000]
[By the random selection of the Tristar World, you have been summoned.]
[Survive and Conquer]
[Being the Quadrillionth summon of the Tristar world, you’ve been given a Chaos Innate Skill.]
[Random 5 species – ]
‘What is going on? I’ve been summoned to another world? Random selection?’
A little later I felt clear headed, and after organizing my thoughts I understood. This was a new life given by fate.
‘A fate associated with a ridiculous amount of people, or maybe not. On earth quadrillion people might be unimaginable but in the galaxy? It’s not worth talking. In the universe, it’s more like a drop in the sea.’
‘Let’s see what should I choose?’
[Selection time over. Selection not detected]
[Randomly selecting.]
‘What? Did I take too much time thinking?’
[Species gained-]
‘At least it’s not the jelly fish. I don’t know what I’d do if I got that.’
[Awakening in 3…2..1}
‘Let’s go.’
I had accepted this life and decided to live my life to fullest.
My conciousness faded.
It was completely dark, when I gained conciousness. That, or maybe I couldn,t open my eyes. Then, a series of texts appeared.
‘Ding’

(Chaos)- Allows Cultivation with any matter or energy.]
‘Level 2? That seems like a skill from my last life. So, killing makes me more powerful? No wonder I felt a bit stronger after those two last two kills, I guess the percentage grows by the multiple of 10 just as number of requirements.’
‘And that Chaos skill sounds ridiculous, and maybe all the ones summoned at 1, 10, 100 … gained something like that.’
I started feeling my body. It seemed like I was in a viscous liquid with darkness all around.
‘It seems like I am currently inside my egg.’
You’ve discovered that you’re inside your egg. Absorb the liquid and the shell to gain maturity.
Time limit- 13 hours
Reward- All attributes +5
Failure- You will die because of cannibalism from your siblings.>
‘Okay, that’s harsh.’
‘So, how do I absorb that? I guess that cultivation skill might help.’
‘What was is it? Chaos Cultivation?’
[Chaos cultivation activated]
[You will be immobalised for 30 seconds.]
‘You say like I could jump in here. Anyways, this might be troublesome if it happens everytime I start cultivation.’
After some time, a message popped up again.
[Cultivation Sequence Completed]
‘So, how do I abso…”
[Absorption sequence started. Progress 0.00%]
[Absorption sequence complete. Progress 100%
“…oorrb”
I was startled by the sudden change in enviornment. It started and finished before I could finish my words and the liquid and the shell completed disappeared.
I looked around and saw hundreds of egg like structures.
‘So these are my siblings? who’ll eat me?’
Then, I observed my body. I had no arms or legs, but I could instinctively raise my head, and look all around. I had black scales all over me, shining like metallic sctructures. I could feel my twin tipped tongue inside my mouth and a set of fangs. I was also able to feel my heart beating, as I breathed in the air with fishy smell.
I raised my head higher and all I could see was a sea of eggs on the muddy ground and nothing else. Then I recalled about the status update.
‘Status.’

for visiting.
‘Innate’
[[(Legendary)(passive)- Devours 0.1% of all stats of the killed target.
{Upgradable- Kill 1000 low beings(intelligence higher than 1) 102/1000 }
(Chaos)- Allows Cultivation with any matter or energy.]
‘So, 0.1% of Chaos Cultivation grants 1 attribute? And just as at level 0? It seems pretty high grade.’
‘I am in aworld where there are a quadrillion reincarnators like me. Not the best world to be in but, since fate has given me a chance, I’ll show my worth to it.’
Then I collected my emotions and calmed myself. Looking around again. I felt like grinning. I don’t know why or may be I do.
‘So you guys would be the ones eating me if I didn’t make it out, right?’ I thought as I looked at the sea of eggs.
