My new life as a dragon in another world

Chapter 4: Leveling up the simple way

I spent the entire day and night napping, I really did not know that fighting a giant bear and then wandering for hours until the sun rose could be so tiring.

On the bright side, I had plenty of time now, it seemed, to relax and continue at my own pace.

Because of that, I slept for as long as I could, until I couldn't go back to sleep again.

It was a well-needed rest too; I felt like I hadn't done so in ages.

Now that I was up and awake, I figured I could level up a little in order to get closer to evolving again.

The way evolution has been designed for monsters is like this:

Stage 1 has 20 levels and once you've reached the max exp for level 20, you'll be able to evolve.

Stage 2 has 40 levels, with the same conditions as stage 1.

Stage 3 is the same, but this time with 60 levels.

Stage 4 again, but this time 80.

And finally, Stage 5 with 100.

Btw, that shitty god originally put me in the body of a stage 5 lizard, which was why I was able to evolve into a dragon, when you hit the max stage for evolution you can go farther and become a better species, but at the cost of resetting all your progress.

Though, that shitty god didn't give me anything when I was in that weak lizard body, still, I'm at least a little better off now than I was before.

I should worry once I get close to evolving what I want to evolve into.

I say that like I have a choice, though, which I kind of don't.

Basically, I can manipulate the path I want to take by leveling up a certain way.

Though I don't really know what all the ways are, as I left most of it to the shitty god...

Oh god what have I done?

Oh, well. I'm sure he didn't half-ass it this time, right?

Might be better to ask him next time I get the chance.

Though I'm sure I know how it'll all go down at this point.

Anyway, since monsters are too strong, and there's likely no guarantee I'll gain sufficient exp from eating other monsters, what I'll do instead is take the full vegetarian route.

The evolution path for this, I wonder what it might be?

Knowing my luck, it'll be something that makes me a hippy dragon or the like.

Oh, well. Guess we'll wait and see to find out.

I decided to go harvesting for various plants and then binge eat them all.

After about three hours of doing that, my stomach is growling.

Who am I kidding? My stomach was growling from the moment I woke up.

I only ever ate few plants before since I was constantly at risk of being eaten.

I found a variety of interesting or weird plants, but I picked the one that were edible and not poisonous and ended up gaining a lot of levels.

I went from level 1 up to level 10 instantly, which was a surprise.

A welcomed one, but a surprise nonetheless.

I was already half way to evolving again.

Isn't this a bit too fast?

Then again, when all you need is just to eat to get stronger, it's not like it would be difficult.
