The car ramped his body and sent him to the air.
He landed headfirst on the ground, his head cracked open and blood spill everywhere.
His name was Morich, and he died there.
After that incident, his body was inside a cramped space.
He moved his whole body around and a crack appeared.
Light beamed through the crack.
So warm… so nice… I better get out of here.
Morich continued to move his body within the confined space.
It shattered and he gasped for air.
Morich scanned his surroundings.
A cave?
That yellow must be the light source.
Wow! Whose eggs is this?
There’s twenty of them.
A puddle laid on the ground not far from him.
He moved his muscle toward the puddle.
Morich looked at his body through the puddle.
What the fuck!
His whole body was green mixed with a bit of yellow, silky skin and yellow eyes.
I’m a snake!
His stomach grumbled.
He creaked
His other siblings began to hatch.
Are they going to eat each other after they hatch? If so, I better get away from here.
Morich ventured deep inside the cave, but he didn’t find any food.
Why do I have to reincarnate as a snake?
His stomach grumbled.
Shit! I’m starving, if only I have an ability.
Morich sighed.
Then, a stat window showed up before him.
Eh?
The stat window showed his set of skills; Poison Fang, Camouflage, Heat Sense and Smell sense.
Ye-, wait, this kind of development only happens in manga and light novels… then… A fight will happen soon… Haha…
His face started to tense up.
I have a bad feeling about this…
His stomach grumbled again.
Priorities number 1; find food.
Priorities number 2, monsters.
Morich continued to venture deep inside to found.
But, all he found was a dead end after dead end.

You stupid mother fucker! Why the fuck you reincarnate me in this shit hole!
His stomach grumbled even louder than before.
Morich decided to head back to where he came from.
He followed the path he took and soon he arrived.
Morich found multiple snake trails headed in the opposite direction of where he went.
Brothers and sister, where are you going?
Morich followed the path his siblings made and found the exit.
Excitement coursed through him like a kid got his first candy.
He exited the cave, but something grabbed him and lifted him up.
What the fuck?
An eagle above him, its legs had grabbed him.
Morich tried to wrap around its legs and bit the eagle.
But, he didn’t make it because of how short he was.
Shit! is there any other way to stop this eagle!
A light bulb appeared on his head.
Wait! That may work.
He focused all his strength on his mouth.
The difference between me and a normal snake and you!
Is that I’m once a human and human stays on top of the food chain!
Morich opened his mouth.
He projected a stream of poison at the eagle.
The eagle shrieked and let loose of its grip on Morich.
Oh no you don’t.
Morich climbed on its leg and bit the eagle.
The eagle began to plummet to the ground.
They crashed neared a river.
Morich looked at the eagle and it didn’t move.
His stomach made a sound.
Well… it’s food to me… Bon appetite.
The meat was raw, but Morich didn’t care because of the hunger.
As soon as he finished, the stat window appeared and showed him his stat.
Hmm!
His eyes widened.
What is this?
The stat window showed him, a new set of skills; Claw, Flight and Sight.

Also…
Shapeshifting?
To used his newfound skill, he needed to use the shapeshifting skill.
Let’s try this out.
Morich transformed into an eagle and his skills changed.
Wow! I’m an eagle!
He flew around the sky like a child on the playground.
But then, his stomach made a grumbling sound.
Dammit! Again? I just tra- wait!
Did my hunger change when I transformed into a hungry eagle or did I used too much stamina?
His stomach grumbled again, but this time, it was much louder than before.
That thought needs to wait, I need to find food again.
He scanned his surroundings and found a snake on the ground.
Food!
He flew toward the snake.
You’re dead meat now!
