The World Serpent

Chapter 23 - 23-Upgrade Of Main Weapon

Within the Forest, The Numerous Thick Humid Dense Trees, The Tall Slick Grass, The Mossy Stones, The Emerald Green Ferns, And the Clear Water of Streams. It was a Beautiful Forest. The Creatures were roaming around the Forest, intending to hunt for food. Some were chasing other Creatures, and Some were the ones that got Chased. It was Nature working by itself.

Within the Tall Slick Grass of the Forest was the rustling sound. Something was passing deep within the Grass. It was using the Grass as covers for its body. The Creature was moving at a fast speed comparable to a Car. The Creature was also mobile as it could dodge obstacles while maintaining its Speed.

The Sound of Leaves rustling echoed. The Creatures chirping and whistling among the winds. The Sunlight creates slanted shades. The Soft Breeze of Wind also passed within the Forest. The Creature traveling suddenly stopped moving. Right in front of it was a Bush that separates the Forest and the Grassland.

'I'm finally here.' Persia thought to herself while staring at the Bush in front of her. She was about to Enter the Western Part of the Central Region of the Forest. At the Western Part was a Patch of Grassland that stretches for Dozens of Kilometers. It was a gigantic patch of land that didn't have any Trees. It was also full of Slick Tall Grass that Covered most of the Grassland.

'It took me a while...' Persia was moving at her Max Speed. It took her a while to reached this Place. The Grassland was the Place where she last saw the Eagle that tried to chase her. It was a Fun Chase, but Persia was a lot bigger than before. Unlike the smaller her that was small and agile. The Current Her was Big and Agile. It was one of her many problems, but Persia hoped she wouldn't meet the Eagle.

'This will take a long time.' Persia sighed as she didn't know how long the Kilometers stretched. It was a Giant Grassland, and she didn't explore this area that much. It will probably take nightfall for Persia to reached the Western Region. She wondered what she could find there, but only time will tell.

'Okay, Let's continue.' Persia thought to herself as she began moving her body. She was fortunate to have good stamina within her body. She exited the Bush, and she finally entered the Grassland. She met the Tall Slick Grass. She then went into the Grass as she wanted something to Provide cover for her against predators.

As she slithered through the Grassland, Persia found many Herd of Bison peacefully living their life. They were eating the Grass that stretch for Dozens of Kilometers. She decided to ignore them as there was no reason to attack the Her. She was still a Small Adult Snake. She needs to stop herself from being too arrogant as it may cause her death. Even if she had the strength to kill them, She won't as she couldn't eat them.

While slithering through the Tall Slick Grass. Persia had a question that came up within her head. She tried to answer it herself, but it seems that there were many things she needed to include. It will make the problem more complicated and will become problematic than before.

'Ego, I have a question that needed more confirmation to get applied. Could you simplify it?' Persia asked Ego if she could simplify the answer in the Simple Question. Persia was too paranoid, and she would include everything that would have a 0.1% probability to happen. It was not a good habit, but it saved her many times in her snake life.

<What is it, Sister?>

Ego spoke with her Monotone Voice. Persia, hearing Ego's voice, got elevated. She then Spoke about the Question she wanted to asked.

'Ego, What kind of Prey do you think I should get? My Current Menu of Prey might not be able to satisfy my Biomass Capacity and Myself.' Persia asked Ego a Simple but Important question. The Creatures she could hunt were minimal. She didn't have any book about creatures that could teach her the best creatures she could eat in her condition. A Monotone Voice echoed within Persia's head.

<Sister only has Two Options with the Current Situation. Many plans could help Sister Grow, but with Sister's current Question and the Simplification. Sister only has Two Options to grow in her current form.>

'Persia nodded in understanding. She wanted to know what answer Ego would give her. The Two Options would probably be useful and efficient. She stopped moving her Snake Body and hid within the Tall Slick Grass. She activated her Mortal Camouflage and with the Current Rank of her Skill. She could finally change into 2 different colors at the same time.

Ego then spoke with her Monotone Voice.

<Let's Talk about the Two Options Sister wanted to hear.>

<The First Option is the Option of Hunting New Creatures that aren't currently in Sister's Menu. The New Creatures could give more BIomass or less Biomass to Sister. It's dependent on what kind and size of Creature are to determine the Biomass. It would be Dangerous and Risky to have the First Option, but the Rewards will be Larger than the Second Option. Sister could also increase her Menu according to the New Creatures hunted.>

<The Second Option is the Option of Hunting the Creatures in Sister's Menu. Examples of Such Creatures are the Small Frogs, Small Mammals, Little Reptiles, and Undeveloped Creatures within the Eggs. Sister already got the info on how much Biomass she could get according to each creature, but it will be hard for Sister to continue the Second Option as she is getting bigger and bigger. The Supplies will get overwhelmed by Sister's need. It may cause species extinction. It may affect the Forest like never before.>

'That's a Long Explanation, but it makes sense. I could go and roam around the Western Part. I need to find new Creatures that I could eat in my current Size. If I could eat a Creature, They would be on my Menu. My Current Menu doesn't have enough Creatures to satisfy me. So I need to find more.' Persia nodded as she began thinking about the answer given to her. Ego was good at giving suggestions. Persia would have to make her own plan. As to how to apply such a suggestion. Relying on Ego in all the things she needed to do would not be good.

As Persia began thinking of many things within her head. She noticed something she forgot to do. It was about her Notifications. There were a group of Notifications that were the last Notifications in the Window. She needed to open them as they may contain important notifications.

'The Last Notifications, I wonder that kind of notifications written on it.' Persia thought about the Notifications. She shook her head and proceeded with opening the Notification Window. There was no reason to let it rot in the Notification Windows with Numerous Notifications. Before Persia could open the Window, It was already in front of her.

'Eh, How? She didn't even try to interact with the Notification Window. It just appeared right in front of her. It was a strange phenomenon as she got used to interacting with the thing inside her head. Ego's Monotone Voice echoed within Persia's Mind.

<Sister, Ego can interact with the Icons in Sister's mind.>

'Wow...' Persia got surprised at what she heard. It was clear that Ego told Persia about the Ability to interact with the Thing inside her. The Status, The Windows, and Many More within her Tiny Brain. It would also give her more advantages than Normal. She could make Ego interact with the Thing inside herm, and both of them could operate at the same time.

'But I shouldn't call the Thing inside me, A Thing.' Persia wondered if she needed a name for the Thing inside her. It would be strange to continue calling it a Thing. It was part of her, so Persia didn't want something part of her called by that name. Persia then got an idea about the Name within her mind.

'What about I call it, System. I have read multiple novels during my free time to know what kind of Thing. The Thing inside me is. The Thing inside me is a System. All Clues pointed at this fact. I may be wrong as the Strange Entity; I mean Jörmungandr didn't speak of its name.' Persia thought that it was a good name. The System inside her and would help her in the Adventure. It was a Special Part of Persia that would help her Growth and Survival.

Persia then reads the Last Notifications that she got from the System.

[For passing the hundred Threshold in Agility.]

[You have gained a Skill, Inferior Agility Mode.]

[Skill Description: The User would have the ability to enhance her Agility. It would increase the Percentage of the User's Agility. The Skill Percentage would depend on the Rank of the Skill. Activating such Skill would make the User move quickly, efficiently, and effortlessly. The Skill would cost a Large Amount of Stamina. (Current Skill Percentage Increased: 20%)]

[Skill Status: Weak.]

Persia, reading the Last Notifications, had a smile of satisfaction. It was clear that the Skill given to her was good. The Skill she got could make her fast and multiply her Agility by 20 Percent. It was an Overpowered Skill that would decimate anyone that forced Persia to used it.

'This is a Good Skill. Although a Warning about the Large Stamina eaten from me. This Skill could be a Trump Card that would help me overpower the enemies that are a little bit stronger than me.' Persia thought to herself. The Skill given to her by the Agility Threshold was good. She wondered how many points she needed to overcome the other threshold of Attributes.

'Ego, This is the best day of my Life.' Persia thought towards Ego. She was having a good time with this New Status, New Body, and New Friend. She was slowly reaching her goal. The Peace she wanted could only get by being surrounded by bloodshed. Ego spoke to Persia with her Monotone Voice.

<This is also the Best Day of my Life, Sister.>

'Now that I think about it, What should I do with my 20 Points?' Persia was curious about the things she could do with her current Points. She had 20 Points ready for allocation or withdrawal. While thinking about the Points. Numerous Ideas appeared within Persia's mind.

'I could allocate all of these points to my Attributes. I could gain more Skills, but more Skills doesn't mean I'm getting stronger. I need to upgrade my current weapon. And my Current Weapon is through my Fangs.' Persia then decided what she wanted to do with her Points. She opened her Status and looked through the List of Skills. It took a while for the Skill to be found, but it was waiting for her.

'Ego, allocate all of my Points to Skill named Venomous Fangs.' Persia picked the Venomous Fangs. Many things within the Skill would help Persia during her Hunt. Ego spoke with her Monotone Voice.

<Understood.>

[20 Points will be allocated to Mortal Venomous Fangs...]

[As the Variety gets Higher. The User would effectively Nullify the Toxins.]

[Mortal Toxin Resistance has reached the Threshold.]

'My Main Weapon is finally ready for Used..' Persia thought to herself.
