Reborn To Become A Heavenly Serpent

"Haaa! Haa! Haaa!"

*breathes*

noises of heavy breathing could be heard trudging itself someplace inside the wilderness

"A little bit more! just a little bit more!... and then I will be free from this nightmare! hahaha!"

Soon the noise of a maniacal laugh throbbed... as if the possessor of this voice is crazy or desperate.

"There it is! Hahaha, I'm back home! I'm home!"

A glimmer of happiness soon shimmered on the man's face as he limped forward with a poorly injured body towards the camp right in front of him.

"Hey!!... it's me! Heyy!!"

"Heyy!! anyone there!!! Heyy!"

The man once again yelled as he arrived at the camp territory... but the picture that appears next into his eyes was nothing more than utter sadness.

"This??!! what happened here!! What the hell happened!!! Anyone!??!! hey!!!"

The once open area that was crammed with tents is now no more than a space filled with scattered dead bodies. Numerous corpses stacked up against each other as the color red drenched the whole view. Some had lost their lower body while some had their head appears to be bitten off. Each one of them was a glorious and respected soldier of the great founder but now they are no more than a large mound of nutrition for wild creatures.

"Arghhh!!! this can't be happening! this was my only hope!!! argh!!"

The man shouted hysterically as he plops down onto his knee with anguish. Tears started to drip about onto the ground as he clenched his ċhėst with a pained look.

"Nooo!! noo... this can't be happening... this can't!..."

the man murmured as he slowly closed his eyes in sorrow... attempting to hold onto the tears.

"This was my only chance to return home... and now... it's gone... "

"There you are! "

"Who?"

Hearing this...

But then he regretted doing so... he should have had suspected it already. That his expectation was simply too ignorant in this horrible world.

There behind him... a 20 meters long snake slumped there silently while staring at him with those 2 Emerald-colored eyes.

"Wa-wait!...don't kill me!... please let me live!... I'm willing to do anything!"

The man immediately plops down as he banged his forehead aggressively again and again onto the ground.

Appearing to be pleading for his life.

But, Hiro doesn't care about such a silly topic. The main reason he had saved him from before was solely to gain some information regarding the human on the upper continent.

"I do not care of your little life... now answer me... I want you to clarify the hierarchy of your humanity from the place you originated from."

"I-.. ye- yes?... "

'Why would a monster like him ask such a question? ... and will he not kill me?... can I believe him?. No!... I don't have any other alternative... if I don't do what this monster told... I'm 100% dead!'

"My lord... the place that I originated from, are dominated by the great Emperotus empire... The highest power in charge of the whole empire is the 4 great founders."

"Hoo an empire?... and great founder? is that a title?"

"Ye-yes my Lord... the great founder is a title for the 4 great ancient lords. They are the oldest human being on our continent and they are also the most powerful existence."

"How powerful is it? can you be more specific?"

Hiro inquired with interest. How strong are those founders? are they stronger than him?.

"I'm not exactly sure... but there was a history of their battle for the number one position on the continent. It had been portrayed as the most catastrophic event that had ever transpired for the last 200 thousand years. Some records stated that the continent was split apart while the other had stated differently. Since then none of them contended again... because the consequence of their battle had shattered the whole ecosystem that it took thousands of years to recover."

"I see... "

Hearing the human description... an understanding of concern arose within Hiro's heart as he was utterly surprised at how the battle of those founders was recorded.

'Continent splitting apart? man what kind of world am I in?. Even Naruto can't do that!! I'm boned! no, I'm toasted!...'

"M-my lord? can I go now?"

The man begged politely as he was worried that the large behemoth in front of him would abruptly kill him.

"Go now... you can leave"

Since the human serve him no more purpose. Hiro simply let him leave... yes the likelihood of him revealing Hiro's existence is nonetheless there but the possibility of him dying due to his injuries is more likely to happen. Added with the place that he is presently in... Hiro is 100% sure that this human will die.

The small human instantly left the area with joy on his face...

"What a pitiful human... But his fate resides on his shoulder alone. If the world had condemned him to death then who am I to interfere?... "

Hiro slowly uttered those words as he glanced at the human... leaving into the forest.

"Now I need to stay low-key and keep developing bigger... When I have reasonable strength I will go and try to visit the human continent if that is possible."

"And I quote (Thou shall not bother others unless provoked first)~The greatest lazy man"

Having determined that... He gradually slithered his way back to the forest. While doing so... he glimpsed that some of the bodies had a knife mark on them... appeared to be done by another human.

'Internal dispute huh? bet it was because of greed' Hiro whispered to himself as he slowly exits the area.
