So We're Monsters, So What?

Chapter 2: Elroe Labyrinth

Da, dodo, dododa, dadado, dododa, dada-!

Still stuck paralyzed in Araba's mouth, the dragon hatchling Y/N has lost the will to resist. After being in this unresponsive state for so long and not moving a inch no matter how hard he tried Y/N just decides to sing in his head like a madman to pass the time. 

-Do, dadada, do, dodo, da!

{Reminder: Dragon Hatchling has reached the max level cap and cannot proceed further. Do you wish for evolution?}

Not being able to do or say a single thing, Y/N within the confines of his body get's ecstatic.

Lunatic Head Voice Lady!! Your Still Here!! I'm All Alone, I Admit It I Missed You, Did You Miss Me??

{Cannot provide that explanation}

Oh I know you care about me! You don't have to say it!

{[Solitude resistance Lv 1-Lv 3] Acquired}

...............

I don't know whether to interpret that as a gift or sad pity...So what were you talking about?

{There are currently 2 evolutionary paths open. Do you wish to see them?}

Oh yeeeeah, in the middle of everything I forgot that popped up. Evolution, huh? "To grow stronger as a species over time to ensure survival in a particular habitat". If this world works as I think it does than evolving here means to go up a higher tier of strength and take a new form. Every single time it revolves around nerdy video game mechanics. If I was a hardcore gamer in my past life would I have just overlooked all this? Mmmmmh whatever! I already decided I wouldn't obsess over it! It is, therefore it is! Hey announcer lady I'm ready, flash me the goods!

{Understood. First evolutionary option is [Little dragon]-Considered a small dragon species compared to others, It's still bigger than a bear and adventurers fear it because of it's fire breath.}

Oooooh I like That one! If I was this earlier than those persistent bees would never have stood a chance!...right? But other than that those "Adventurers" part in the description. So I guess humans or at least humanoids like elves and stuff exist in this world. How would they react to me as a dragon? Are dragons worshipped in this world as gods or as country destroying monsters? Question for another day, so you said there was a second option?

{Correct. Second evolutionary option is [Baby dragon]-A weak infant of the dragon race right out of basic maturity, when hunted by adventurers it's soft meat is described as incredibly tasty. It's recommended to use sauce and cook to rare.}

Is This A Cooking Show?!?!

{It's claws and fangs are small, so it's rather weak. However it does have high evolutionary potential so it's hunted by most monsters and adventurers to prevent full adulthood.}

High evolutionary potential you say... So my options are be at medium strength forever or be weak for awhile and maybe become super strong later. I'll also have a giant target on my back for the foreseeable future if I choose [Baby dragon]...

Contemplating on what to pick, Araba comes between an intersection leading two ways. Turning his head side to side, the paralyzed Y/N in his mouth feels the sudden change of movement. Seeing Araba from the corner of his eyes he remembers how helpless he was in the face of that swarm. Remembering the possible connection he has with this mighty beast, Y/N thinks about the moments he was on the edge of death before leveling up. The pathetic begging for others to save him sticks and replays in his mind. Having a heavy weight in his gut like before Y/N becomes frustrated with himself.
