CH.6. Hard times come again no more!

Hello! it would seem that you came back. Just after I woke up too. Well, seeing as it is still paused time, I shouldn't be hungry. Yet here I am gorging myself with the next snake while I speak to you. I don't think I could have made a better choice, you know?

Time stop is so broken. It is such a powerful wish, I don't think anyone would be able to beat me with it activated.

Anyway, as I said I am currently devouring the last serpent and I managed to find something strange in this one. It was like a leathery sack, but it had this weird green pearl thing in it. I think it might be like the magical core of this beast but if that's true why didn't the other one have it?

Well, no use in thinking over things too much, I should just eat it.

'Ding! You have eaten a magical pearl. Gained active skill | Poison Breath | ' B ', Your body seemed to have formed a core of its own.'

< Detecting a suitable skill, Mutation occurring. Complete. >

'Ding! Skill | Poison Breath | has mutated due to your natural magic affinity into, | Lightning Breath | ' B+ '.

Huh, well that's cool. Didn't know that could happen.

So I can breathe lightning now? Nice, That Is gonna make my job so much easier. All I gotta do now is zap the snake a few times and it's gonna be toast, literally.

Trying to activate the skill wound up in me trying to breathe way too hard. But after a few dozen tries I got it.

It was a bit underwhelming but I can't complain, I got it for free after all. If I had to describe it, it was like taking a breath of hot helium and releasing it all in a large burst.

I don't know if that was a good explanation but it doesn't really matter. Eh, anyway, I just burnt the snake's head to a crisp and got some gold from it. I haven't eaten it yet so I didn't get any stats.

Which I promptly did, cause I am still super fucking hungry and this snake smells really, really good. A few bites here, a few scrapes there, and then all that was left of this snake was a skeleton. Like the other one.

Now, since I got lightning breath I can cook the egg. Which will be a fricking Godsend since I have been here for what feels like days and I want something that is familiar to me.

Well, That is if my magic doesn't run out before I can cook it all and I don't exactly think I can eat a giant soft could egg to completion without wasting stuff. Hm, I smell something... tasty.
