Chapter 10: Volume 1—Snake Reincarnation: Rise of a Nation—Chapter 8: New Function

Meanwhile, above the hole...

 

All four snakes were in a panic. Their leader had fallen into an unknown place, and they had no clue if she was still alive.

"What are we going to do without our leader!?" Yellow cried.

Big paced back and forth before the hole, "calm down, I'm sure she's fine."

"You seem more nervous than the rest of us! Why don't you stop pacing like that?" Runt asked.

Besides those three, Snail was lying down before the hole and had not moved since then. He was like a lost puppy waiting for its owner to return.

Honestly, they would be nothing without their leader. White was the only one who could help them become more robust. Without her guidance, they'd surely perish.

"What are we going to do if the Leader is dead?" Yellow asked in a panic.

"Don't say such scary things!" Big snapped. His pacing became more panicked.

Back Inside the hole

I do want to become stronger, and at some point, I'd have to get used to eating things that will help me do so,

"I reject your refusal!" She snaps.

She's giving me no choice in the matter. "Come on. It'll be over before you know it." She urges.

I blinked and found myself standing in front of the case, "what? But..."

"No more thinking, only swallowing. I don't have much time left."

I stared at the case, but there was no way I could swallow that whole! "Oh right, let me prepare it for you."

The case suddenly opened, giving me better access to the body. I can't accept the reality of my situation. Why must I do this?

Without Leo, will I be able to use that skill? I guess I'll find out after this.

I closed my eyes because I didn't want to watch myself eat the old lady, so here goes!

 

[Activating Skill; Skill Gluttony!]

 

Oh, it works! So even without Leo, I can activate my skills. I learned something new today.

 

[Successfully inherited the Will of a Grand Sorceress!]

 

[Because the host is weak, only 0.01 percent of the will can be inherited.]

 

[Obtained new skills!]

 

[Obtained the Blessing of a Grand Sorceress!]

 

[A new Evolution obtained!]

 

[Evolution blocked!]

 

[Level was too low!]

 

I opened my eyes and found no signs of the body, so only the shadow remained, "thank you! I finally found a successor. I hope one day we can meet again!"

The shadow faded into nothingness. The space I was in cracked, and a dark cave appeared where it used to be.

Admin Leo: [Master!]

 

It was as though he had been calling me for a while now.

Leo! It was great to hear his voice after some time.

 

Admin Leo: [It's great to see that Master is fine. After losing connection with you, I almost went delirious trying to get through the barrier blocking our contact.]

 

It looks like I was right. It must have something to do with that Grand Sorceress!

I should get out of this place before discovering what I gained from inheriting that will. 

Leo, what's the way out of here?

 

Admin Leo: [Searching for an exit...]

 

A few minutes later...

 

Admin Leo: [Master, I found the exit, but...]

 

Something told me I wouldn't like what he was about to say, "but..."

 

Admin Leo: [You have to make it to the end of this cave to find it.]

 

Yeah, I expected it wasn't going to be easy for me. I received a fantastic gift, so it makes sense if I face problems afterward.

So, what kind of monsters will I cross?

 

Admin Leo: [Yak Rats.]

 

Right, why did I even ask? The answer was obvious.

Leo, do I have any attack skills?

 

Admin Leo: [I'm glad you asked. I received a new function from God while out of commission.]

 

Admin Leo: [As long as Master goes, "Leo, check my status". Then I will bring up a visual of your stats for you.]

 

That does make things easier for me!

Then, Leo, check my status!

 

Admin Leo: [Checking Status...]
