Reborn as a snake

"Shit," I exclaimed. I was at the party, damn it. Just remembering about the party made me feel disgusted. But, wait a minute, "Where am I? Is it hell?"

It was a dark and eerie place. The only sort of light in the vast-looking span of darkness was some brightly-lit crystals. There were occasionally some sounds of shrieking and groaning, just right to make this place seem scarier.

I discovered another anomaly. I wasn't able to see much, roughly a few meters. But I could detect my surroundings using heat and visual perception.

"Am I perhaps 'that'?" I couldn't help but look down and was surprised to see that I am no longer a human, but a snake. I was restless. Any human who would see themselves become a snake would be terrified. The same was with me, but as the strongest human, I was not like others and had a bit of reasoning in these types of situations.

"Do I still have a status window?"

"Yeah, I am really a snake, that too an infant. That too a weak chicken. I guess it was my 20 points of luck on earth that transported me here. Hmm, a notification?"

[Sender: Unknown

I sent your soul into a dungeon of another world. You can be any animal. I don't like to talk much.

"Damn, that means I am reincarnated into a dungeon of another world? Don't forget the part 'AS A SNAKE.' Wait a minute, isn't this ability too overpowered?"

"Even the Assimilate ability pales in comparison. When I was thinking as of such, suddenly a big hand came towards me. 'Shit, what an unfortunate luck,' I couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the creature in front of me. It was a huge dog, at least in comparison to a 20-inch long baby snake.

The only thing which exceeded the number '1' was my speed, so I was barely able to dodge the half-assed attack of the dog. Either the dog didn't notice me, or I was too weak to be able to be in his eyes. He left without looking back.

The thought of attacking the dog? What can a baby snake do in front of a dog? I don't want to die yet without my revenge on humanity. In the midst of this chaos, I had nearly forgotten that I was killed a mere 5 minutes ago. The flames of anger grew within me. Either it was the snake's mentality or my anger but I swore that I wouldn't die before every human on earth has been killed.

As a snake I can't exact my vengeance I have to evolve to something stronger, something bigger. First step towards my vengeance would be the earthworms. You must be thinking what are earthworms doing in a dungeon? How would I know? It must be God's plan for my revenge.

As I ate my first earthworm a familiar yet unfamiliar sound sounded in my mind.

[XP + 10] [ATP (Attribute Points) + 1] [Skill Acquired (Burrow)]

The XP and ATP part are the same as the 'Assimilation' ability in my previous life but, what! can I really acquire skills from devouring creatures.?

What if I devour the whole planet or the whole universe as it is mentioned I can devour anything?

Thoughts couldn't help but emerge in my mind but I will think about them later.

I distributed the first attribute point to my strength.

[Burrow: Able to tunnel through soil and dirt]

It is a useless ability but who knows when it will come in handy.

I didn't waste any time and continued to hunt.

[XP + 10]

I didn't get any ATP? I guess it has a certain chance like my assimilation

[XP + 10] [ATP + 1]

[Level Up!!! - Level 1]

I ate 10 earthworms I guess snakes love to eat earthworms so they were very tasty. After eating 10 earthworms I gained 7 attribute points and 5 attribute points for successful level up.

Strength: 2 -> 5 (He had already added one ATP to strength earlier)

Speed: 2 -> 5

Intelligence: 1 -> 6

I immediately distributed all my 11 points as I had already added one earlier. Now with 12 MP I stand a chance against the dog monster.

But what he was thinking was utterly wrong.
