0:00Anyone who's been eaten alive by a snake knows
0:01snakes only swallow their prey whole.
0:03They never chew. And I just swallowed a 3 foot black mamba.
0:06Despite its massive size,
0:07I forced myself to gulp it down because the global mutation was coming.
0:1170% of all creatures would become mutant monsters.
0:13And this black mamba right here became a terrifying black dragon.
0:16In my previous life,
0:17only by swallowing it before the mutation could I evolve
0:19together with it. I was reborn three hours before the mutation hit.
0:22Without hesitation, I bolted out of class,
0:24headed straight for the hills behind school,
0:26searching like a madman for that black mamba.
0:28Only I knew how terrifying it would become.
0:30In my past life, super warriors who dominated humanity
0:32could only awaken armour power if they remained unmutated.
0:34I gave everything I had but never awakened,
0:36struggled for half my life
0:38and died under the fangs of a mutant creature.
0:40So this time around, I decided to take a different path.
0:42When I reached the hills behind school,
0:44I tore through the trees and bushes like a headless chicken.
0:46Two and a half hours later,
0:48I finally spotted it under some shrubs,
0:49a jet black mamba coiled up,
0:51resting in the woods. I was figuring out how to swallow it alive
0:53when suddenly I heard a meow.
0:54Nearby, a muscular black cat had its eyes locked on the snake,
0:57creeping toward it with a sneaky look.
0:59When it got within a Foot of the snake.
1:01The black mamba suddenly lunged,
1:02striking like lightning. But the cat was faster.
1:05It dodged back and swatted the snake flying.
1:07The two went at it. Before long,
1:09the day's mamba tried to escape,
1:10but the cat wasn't letting its snack get away.
1:12It pounced and smacked it a few more times,
1:14leaving the mamba on death's door.
1:15Lying on the ground barely twitching,
1:17the cat strutted up looking all proud of itself.
1:19About to dig in, I burst out of the bushes and let out a roar.
1:23The cat freaked out and bolted several feet away,
1:26glaring daggers at me. I ignored it,
1:28grab the half dead mamba and check the time.
1:30Four fifty nine PM, just in time.
1:32I gasped for air staring at the groggy snake in my hands
1:35as if seeing a bright future ahead.
1:37That black cat was still glaring at me from a distance.
1:39If I hadn't interfered, it would have had its meal.
1:41But I knew it never would have gotten to eat
1:43because it was now 4:59 and 30 seconds.
1:45The Aurora was about to arrive.
1:47The sky began to glow faintly.
1:48The Aurora had entered the atmosphere.
1:50I took a deep breath. When the countdown hit 20 seconds,
1:53I opened wide and shoved it down my throat.
1:54A violent urge to vomit hit me,
1:56but I didn't stop. I could even feel it squirt my stomach.
1:59At that very moment, a dazzling Aurora swept silently across the Sky.
2:02In that instant, something exploded inside me.
2:05The dying mamba became like a serpent of fire,
2:06burning wildly inside my body.
2:08I screamed in agony. My body began to transform violently.
2:11Black dragon scales burst through my skin.
2:13My black hair turned white.
2:14In an instant. My blood felt like it was on fire.
2:17Bones shattered and reformed.
2:18I could feel clearly the Mamba was completely merging with me.
2:21I don't know how long it took.
2:22Two black dragons emerged from my back.
2:24My teeth became razor sharp,
2:26even sprouting two dragon fangs.
2:27Explosive power surged through my body.
2:29Inherited memories flooded my mind.
2:31Feeling this overwhelming power,
2:32I trembled with excitement.
2:34Now with snow white hair, blood red eyes,
2:36a black dragon Mark glowing faintly on my forehead,
2:38the dragon Fang slowly retracted under my control,
2:41returning to normal appearance.
2:42Just then, a young voice echoed in my mind.
2:44Master, I froze.
2:46The twin dragons extended in front of me.
2:48Master, I'm the black mamba you swallowed.
2:49So you're a reborn. I've seen your memories.
2:52Your past life was insane.
2:53Wow, I became that powerful later on.
2:55No wonder you risked your life to swallow me.
2:57I was surprised. You can see my memories. Master,
2:59we're one now. No separation between us,
3:01though you still have control of the body.
3:03After seeing what you went through,
3:05I don't even know what to say.
3:06His voice was young but full of understanding and warmth.
3:09I smiled. It's alright from Now on,
3:11I'll call you Little Dragon.
3:12This life we're destined to become rulers.
3:14Little Dragon nodded firmly,
3:16then suddenly turned away.
3:17Master, kill him.
3:18I looked up. That black cat from earlier had transformed into a beast
3:21with bone spikes covering its back,
3:23roaring and charging at me.
3:24A cold glint flashed in my eyes.
3:26I pushed off the ground, cracking the earth beneath me.
3:28My hands transformed into razor sharp dragon claws.
3:31I launched at it like a missile and finished off the cat in an instant.
3:34I could feel waves of heat flowing through my body,
3:36my cells more active than ever before.
3:37I tried the cultivation method from my past life.
3:40As expected, I could no longer train by absorbing sunlight.
3:42I had to devour powerful creatures to grow stronger.
3:44Super warriors could absorb starlight after awakening.
3:47But that wasn't my path anymore.
3:48Little Dragon's voice turned cold.
3:50Master, it's time for revenge.
3:51Wasn't there someone at school who treated you like an ant?
3:54Let's go end him now.
3:55Your memories are my memories.
3:57He knew exactly how much I hated that guy.
3:58Same school, heir to a hundred billion dollar empire
4:01with a grandfather who was a military big shot.
4:03Although the Aurora had swept the globe,
4:05the first three hours wouldn't be total chaos.
4:07By the time I reached the school gate,
4:08classes had ended. Students were streaming in and out.
4:10I didn't go in, just waited outside.
4:13Standing there for a bit, I Finally spotted my target.
4:16He walked out with a few rich kids
4:17laughing and joking as they came through the gate.
4:19The moment I saw that face,
4:21memories from my past life came flooding back.
4:23It was them who to save themselves,
4:24pushed me out as bait for the monsters,
4:26cost me three fingers and nearly my life.
4:28A vicious look crept across my face.
4:30I strode toward them. One of his lackey saw I wasn't moving,
4:32aside and snapped, who the hell are you?
4:34Move it, loser.
4:36Don't function. A glance at me,
4:37what's with this freak? Get lost.
4:39I said nothing.
4:40Walked right up to him,
4:41reached out my left hand and grabbed him by the throat.
4:44Two security guards rushed over.
4:45I shot them a look and they froze on the spot,
4:48chilled to the bone. In that split second,
4:50I kicked him hard right between the legs.
4:52Don't function. Let out a high pitched scream.
4:53His eyes rolled back and he passed out.
4:55I felt a rush of satisfaction.
4:57After all, even without awakening powers,
4:59I survived eight years in the apocalypse.
5:00The ruthlessness was already forged into my bones.
5:03A guard swung his baton and charged at me.
5:04A cold smirk crossed my face.
5:06I swept my leg at him and die anyway.
5:08Two hours early won't make a difference.
5:10The guard flew like a broken kite over 40 feet,
5:12dead on impact. If I didn't kill him now,
5:14he'd turn into a monster in Two hours anyway,
5:16just taking out the trash early.
5:18The students around me scrambled back in terror.
5:20Some called the police, others called for an ambulance.
5:22I said coldly, get out of here.
5:24Not many of you will make it through tonight.
5:26No point standing around watching.
5:28Having taken out my enemy from past life,
5:30I felt the weight lift off my shoulders.
5:31After dropping those words,
5:33I turned and walked away. By 6 in the evening,
5:36the true apocalypse had begun.
5:37Screams and roars instantly drowned out the city streets.
5:39People running for their lives,
5:41suddenly foaming at the mouth,
5:42jaws stretching wide, turning around to devour their companions.
5:45Roadside trees withered, instantly shooting out grotesque tendrils,
5:48dragging passers by into their trunks.
5:49I stood in an office on the 88th floor of a skyscraper
5:51looking down at the entire city through the floor to ceiling windows.
5:54Mutant monsters hunting down fleeing crowds everywhere.
5:56This was hell. I came here for the sharpest weapon I could find,
5:59a katana.
6:00Fighting these disgusting things barehanded just wasn't gonna happen.
6:03Little Dragon's voice echoed in my head,
6:05master,
6:05should we grab supplies first or take out the monkey King at the zoo?
6:08Just then, a woman scream came from outside the office door.
6:11A woman in business attire rushed in panicked,
6:13fumbling to close the door,
6:14then collapsed to the ground,
6:16trembling all over, face full of despair.
6:18Who? Who are you?
6:19Only then did she notice someone in the office
6:21And the monster corpses on the floor.
6:22I gave her a passing glance and headed straight for the door.
6:25She scrambled aside, watching me with fear,
6:28but her eyes flickered,
6:29probably calculating if she could use me to lure the monsters away
6:31so she could escape to the basement.
6:33On her way here, she'd already thrown several colleagues to the wolves.
6:36Now seeing someone, her mind was working again.
6:38With her looks, what man wouldn't fall for it?
6:40Suddenly something slammed hard against the office door.
6:43Roaring sounds outside. Her legs went weak.
6:45I ignored her, walked to the door and yanked it open.
6:48No, don't open it,
6:50she screamed.
6:50Two bug like mutant creatures lunged in with razor sharp claws.
6:53My katana left its sheath,
6:55a flash of cold steel. Two arcs of blood,
6:57both monster heads hit the floor instantly.
6:59She froze for a moment, then hope exploded in her eyes.
7:02She scrambled toward me. Please take me with you.
7:05I shot her a cold look, scoffed and walked away.
7:08Who do you think you are? I'll do anything you want.
7:10Please just take me with you. Okay?
7:12She chased me to the elevator,
7:13already reaching for her clothes.
7:15Back off. In this world,
7:16your kind is worthless.
7:17I shoved her out of the elevator and press the button for ground floor.
7:20Bastard leaving me to die.
7:21I curse you to rotten pieces.
7:23The doors closed. Her desperate screams echoed from outside.
7:26The elevator reached ground floor doors.
7:28Slowly opened, four monsters were right at the entrance.
7:30The moment they saw me, they roared with excitement.
7:32I stepped forward with my blade,
7:33tearing through them like slicing through watermelons.
7:36Master, where are we headed now?
7:37To take over an underground gang.
7:39Fighting alone has its limits.
7:40That gang has six or seven super warriors.
7:42I walked out of the building and vanished into the night
7:44in a few flashes as Little Dragon devoured mutant monsters.
7:47My hunger was satisfied, too.
7:49When Little Dragon eats, it's like I'm eating, too.
7:51At this point, I might not even be fully human anymore.
7:53Ever since I released the twin dragons from my back,
7:55even passing mutant monsters didn't dare attack me.
7:58They'd run the other way. When they saw me,
7:59though, I wasn't hungry anymore,
8:01I was still thirsty. I was looking for some water
8:03when heavy gunfire erupted from a nearby street.
8:05In the darkness,
8:06I dashed forward and disappeared at the end of the alley.
8:08When I reached the source,
8:10I saw a supermarket entrance,
8:1120 or 30 fully armed soldiers firing like crazy,
8:14holding back waves of monsters from all directions.
8:16Gunshots and roars blended together.
8:17Someone who looked like the captain shouted,
8:19keep firing, stay calm,
8:20aim for the heads. Once we clear this wave,
8:22we hold position inside and wait for backup.
8:25But there were just too many monsters.
8:26Some needed dozens of rounds just to go down.
8:28Others were clearly starting to panic.
8:30Suddenly, a Sharp tendril shot out from the darkness,
8:32piercing through three or four soldiers instantly
8:34and dragged them into the shadows.
8:35Not good. There's a higher tier monster hiding in the dark.
8:38The captain's face darkened.
8:39He threw two grenades into the dark trees and opened fire like mad.
8:42Over 100 survivors huddled inside the supermarket
8:45listening to the gunfire and monster roars outside,
8:47all trembling in fear. Just as the squad was about to run out of ammo,
8:50the monster suddenly stopped their advance,
8:52then scattered in all directions.
8:53Everyone looked toward the darkness.
