Reborn as a Snake! (1.) [REWRITE IN PROGRESS]

7. - Snake Out on a Hunt. [REWRITTEN]

                    I slithered around for a little while, kind of aimlessly at some points, as I searched for anything I could face and kill to potentially gain exp and level up as quickly as I could. While I was still slightly terrified of facing other monsters in combat, especially on purpose and not for the reasons of simply defending myself anymore, I didn't allow that fear to discourage me from the bigger picture. Seeing that troll I knew that I wasn't going to be freeing anyone from anywhere at my current level. Seriously - who was I expecting to set free into the world if a troll, that was smaller and less intimidating than Arabor, was strong enough to make me look like a beginner enemy?

At least, I believe he made me look like that anyway... I am not a very knowledgeable person when it comes to RPG or MMO style games. As I wandered through the woods, I kept my guard up at all times. Death and danger could be lurking around every corner and I had to be careful to not let myself fall victim to some enemy who may be waiting for a chance to launch a sneak attack against me.

Eventually, I was startled by a small group of slimes hopping out of some bushes in front of me, causing me to back up a bit. Immediately, I narrowed my eyes on the other creatures, using 'Inspector' on them to see what their levels were.

- Inferior Water Slime -
Level; 5

A Weak version of the common 'Water Slime'. This creature possesses almost no intellect and is always relying on instinct. Not very durable nor very powerful.

Well, that should be easy enough for me to handle. The highest level is 4 levels lower than me and the descriptions said that they aren't super powerful. This should be good enough for me for the time being. Pestering up the courage to face the creatures, I slithered towards them with a determined expression and a serious glare directly aimed at them.

The low level creatures seemingly noticed me, before suddenly starting to charge at me - showing off their low intellect right off the bat, as they just charged at me with no regard for their own lives or if they could even beat me at all. Guess that is what 'always relying on instinct' means. As the slimes charged at me, I took in a bit of a deep breath, before coiling up my body and launching myself at the first slime like a spring. This was a neat trick I had learned to do while facing off against Direwolves for the past week.

As soon as I got on top of the first slime, I opened my mouth wide open, before sinking my fangs into the slimes soft and squishy body. The creature stopped, before shaking and then exploding into a small puddle of water - as well as launching me back against a tree. I hit the tree pretty hard, but got back up almost immediately. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt all that much, despite the tree barks rough and hard texture.
