Ahhh...nothing like a good nap to refresh the brain, or brains. To help my sleepy body wake up I began to wiggle my serpentine  body.

Alright then! Now that I'm all rested I can begin my exploration and head lower. Slithering along the multiple passageways inside the labyrinth something clicked in my mind.

Wait the silver lines in the dungeon are [Mana Pathways] for the dungeon right? Based on the extensive knowledge I've gathered due to hours of neglecting human contact and trying to fix my non-existent social life and absolutely murdering my sleep schedule by playing video games. I can safely say that the lines are supposed to get more and more as I go down right? Assuming this is a stereotypical RPG dungeon.

Or, maybe we could use our new skill [Magic Sense] to find where the mana lines congregate instead of using video game logic, my second brain helpfully supplied.

Oh.....that seems like a good idea. Thanks brain!
No problem!

Back the shit up! Since when could....you? Me?....Us?! Talk in the first place!
Well technically I'm you but not exactly you? Think of it like being pregnant with your clown but the child is never born and grows up inside you.

....wut?
I'm basically another brain in your head that's it that's all there is.
Is....is this what a existential crisis is like? Am I mad? And if so is all of this a weird hallucination? Am I lying in a hospital room somewhere in a coma?
For the first time since I woke up in this world I contemplated my existence and all I left behind on Earth.

My friends- we have none of those, my brain said.
My family- we also have none of those, parents are both dead and we lived alone.
My anime, light novels and video games- wow....we were really pathetic the only good thing that we have to regret on Earth are anime, games and light novels.

....I think that's enough introspection and philosophy for today, if I go on I might end up committing suicide from depression.

I activated [Magic Sense] and began to 'see' the many lines of mana running through the dungeon. I simply chose the fattest, juiciest, thiccest and longest one and followed it.

On my way there my [Magic Sense] levelled up 2 times increasing it's range by 10ft. Fun fact; [Magic Sense] does not use any magic meaning I could grind the hell outta that shit by doing absolutely nothing!

I also gained 6 extra bio points from some of the things I killed.
****
It's been about two hours since I  begun my journey and I'm beginning to feel bored. Luckily I have an extra brain to keep me company.

Me: Have any nines?
Second Brain: Go fish.
Second Brain: Have any fives?
Me: Damnit how did you know!
Second Brain: Cuz I'm you duh!
Me: Does that mean you've been cheating all this time!
Second Brain: -_- bro....we are literally playing imaginary go fish while you traverse through a monster infested dungeon as a snake, do you really think this world gives a shit about common sense.

Me: Touche.....
***
Is it me or is it getting hot in here? I came upon a tunnel that seemed to drop way down into a pitch black abyss. A burst of hot air blew into my scaly face.

Welp....I wanted adventure here goes!!
With that I leaped into the darkness below.
