MUST READ!!!
Heads up, it's gonna be a massive YAPPING Session down there, so if you don't want to read it, you're free to go to the actual story which is Chapter 1.2, sorry.
As to why I am doing this, there's 3 reasons, [1st] is that I'd like to make some announcements for the new viewers, [2nd] I am going to be posting the Old Version on this 1 chapter here altogether if it can even fit lol, and [3rd] reason supports my second reason, is that i heard somewhere on the app here that it helps with reaching to larger audiences if Chapter 1 has a massive Word count, so I'm doing just that, if the plan doesn't work then nvm, it still a good place for other curious readers who wants to read the old version.
Anyways, to the announcements:
-First off, Welcome to my very first fanfic (and probably the only one I'll ever make)
-This fanfic is a rewrite, it's been under that banner for a whole year, I believe almost 2 years now.
-This story is going to be a slowburn slice-of-life most of the time.
-The MC is not a human, nor a humanoid (unless you consider the dragon form I've chosen as a humanoid) and won't ever transform to either of those in the future and that is non-negotiable, and no transforming to other dragons too (sorry CONNER_Jackson)
-I am an amateur writer and English isn't my 1st language so go easy on the corrections in the paragraph comment section please.
-I am solely basing the story on some Kaiju movies I've seen (Which is not a lot) and so I'll just look up some info on other Kaiju's on the wiki if ever the MC gets in a squabble with one of them.
-Don't be surprised that some things are not accurate to the canon lore of some of the Kaiju's I'm using, after all, I am making my own world here, but i do still have to atleast do a little bit of research which is why i am gonna be using the Wiki and maybe some YT vids to help me out, and if i am ever not accurate, do tell me in the paragraph where i am wrong, i do still wanna learn, but i probably wouldn't change it, just a little tidbit so that the other readers can know canon lore if they want to.
-Now, I am making my own original monsters, just cannon fodder level to kind of flesh out the world a little more and to get the MC's mindset prepped and elevated to the level of danger the world possesses you know?.
-I am making my own world so there might be a lot of info dumps to increase immersion in the story.
-And since I am making my own world, chances are that the story and plot of this fanfic is also going to be almost originally created by me.
- I only learned how to write via reading other fics on this site/app and seeing and analyzing how the GOATED Authors I've seen here write it, reading their and other Authours fanfics who I believed don't use AI (or maybe dont use AI a lot, idk, please don't hate me for thinking like this) like Evans_The_Writer, Creator of [Meta Essence Gacha in Marvel], Emmanuel_Capricorn who is the creator of [A Life with the Authour] (my most fav of his works btw), [More Than A Dragon Warrior], [Demon Slayer: A Silent Journey], and finally, AStoryForOne, the creator of [A Nascent Kaleidoscope] (and I'm sure there are a lot more Authors on this app/site that I've taken inspiration from but i forgot lol).
Though I do sometimes dabble on AO3 for other fanfics like The Reactionists [Watching Him Die Again And Again] or Black_Out's [Master Control], and Slug_Slinger's [Mob? More like a Hidden Boss] or i'd sometimes go to Fanfict¡on,nēt to read some of their fanfics there like S_Bahamuts [Under the Courtesans Veil] or Harouki's [Heroic Myth], and sometimes tutorials, advice, things to consider type of videos and stuff on YT, anyway I'm getting off topic.
-This universe is highly AU, So if you're expecting it to be a 1:1 copy of Monsterverse Franchise, then I am sorry to disappoint you, this is not for you cuz this is a mish mash of different worlds into 1 universe.
-And I'm not joking about the whole AU stuff, like I am heavily leaning onto some AU BS my brain could come up with just to make my kaiju world work.
-As for the reason why this is not a 1:1 copy of the Monsterverse, It's a skill issue on my part, I could not stand reading the original Comics of Godzilla because everything going on in my head while reading it was "how can I add this to my fanfic?" instead of actually enjoying the story, and even though I think like that for other fanfics here, the thoughts in my head when reading them is not as bad as reading the Godzilla comics, so I'm only gonna be watching some YT videos about the Monsterverse if I'm ever thinking of adding some characters from that universe or any other universe for the matter.
-I am gonna be using AI but only on the System Parts like with the System Notifications, an example would be "Congratulations! You have blah blah", you get the point.
This also extends to the Damage and XP Calculation for the level ups because Math is my kryptonite.
Another thing i would use the AI for would be the Attributes and Status Screen Organization and Updating, Skill Descriptions, Analysis Skill Descriptions when using it on the beasts and monster fauna/flora of the world, or whatever mundane shit like that which don't affect the story, unless the descriptions are Integral to how I want the story to go.
-I refuse to use AI in my story that directly influences the plot cuz I've tried it before (I was being lazy just after a few months of rewriting this fanfic), and it disgusted me, it never flows well and it always collides with what I had in mind, also editing it to fit what i actually had in my imagination is a nightmare, so instead of wasting time editing what AI "makes" for me, I'd rather edit mine, so there is only ever gonna be a very little influence to how the story goes, but in exchange, the updates are also gonna be a nightmare for you because-
-Updates won't be regular/on a fixed schedule, I have no need to, I'll only post when i feel like it, might be tomorrow, every other day, next week, next month or two, maybe even a year, you'll never know, and only when it has passed my standards and has been proofread by me would I even begin to post it.
-Unfortunately for you, there PROBABLY won't be any Powerstone goals to get advanced chapters for this fanfic, but giving me some is a good way to show your support for this.
-Also this fic is probably not gonna be some Multiversal Jumper type of fic (at least from the start it won't be) like a lot of fafics on this site do.
Because I feel like if i do so it just means that I, as an Author, cannot make interesting events on my own, however I will drop some hints that it is possible to do a Multiversal Jump, just leaving the option open for the future if i am ever really forced to use it, nothing against multiversal fics by the way, in fact I love them ([A Nascent Kaleidoscope] being the best example), I just wanted to challenge myself to do this rare kind of story in my fic where an MC actually just stays in his homeworld.
-Also leave a few powerstones if you like the fic and definitely leave a review, I'd love to read your thoughts on my world.
-And that's it for the new viewers, you can leave now, thank you for reading up to here.
Now onto my old readers who have been waiting for this rewrite for a long loooong time (if they weren't bots):
I am very sorry for being a lousy author
It took a long ass time to finally get my shit together, even now I'm still trying to pick things up, and a lot of things kept on falling through but I'll manage, better than how i was a few years ago.
I had some hurdles I tried to overcome, as a college student, as the oldest male in the family, and finally as an amateur writer trying to see if I'm ever even good enough to even have this as a hobby (I'm sure I had some more problems i had faced but these were the ones that came to my mind while writing this yap fest.)
College is hard man, it's like its really trying to screw me over, and I can't do anything about it because I feel like it's just a tutorial of how a real job is like and that scares me, and the constant thoughts of the fanfic not being good enough for you guys when you've waited for such a long time did not help in dealing with it too, however I will point out that I am not blaming you guys, just to be clear here, it's all on me and my mindset, which i also had to change, writing really made me look inside myself a lot more that i would've liked.
Making a research paper is too hard for me as well, reading articles is too intimidating, it's a giant wall of texts over and over again, and that is as weird as that sounds since on the other hand, I'm also spending so much time on this app/site to relax by reading.
Rewriting this thing was such a pain, and yet fulfilling as well.
I tried to make this a Self-Insert Fanfic, but I came across a problem, I found out that I was too boring to be an MC, it was painful to slowly realize that, and so I read and read different stories of different MC's to see how their Author makes their MC's so enjoyable to read, I still don't understand it to this day, but i hope i am better than I was back then, so I scrapped a massive part of the SI-theme and tried to create an actual character, with little bits and pieces of me.
Another problem I came across that held me back so much was that one of the main villains was WAAAY too strong, to the point that I had to think of ways to nerf it in a particular manner, like adding some world rules and what not.
I originally planned in this Fic to just have the system just be an organizer and real-time tracker for the stats of the MC, and now I had to upgrade it from an indirect, into directly influencing the story just to beat the guy.
And because of those changes, I had to rewrite the beginning of the story MULTIPLE times. Now I don't know if that was a smart decision or not but hey, I already spent time on it so meh.
To be completely honest, I had multiple urges to just post this story throughout the 1.5 years of me rewriting this and I'm glad i didn't do it cuz there would be many things wrong with it lol, had to do many so many minor changes to the point where if you combined the minor tweaks together it would be a massive change.
Anyways here are some (not all) of the worlds that might be familiar with you which I've added into my universe either directly (characters from their worlds,etc.) or indirectly (like with the skills and maybe some themes of it):
-Monsterverse (Obviously) (Godzilla, Skull Island, etc.)
-Kaiju no.8 (Kaiju-class and their defense force, maybe even the characters too, and also probably include the whole country while I'm at it.)
-Mushroom Cloud Godzilla (It's a creepypasta, idk where it came from but i stumbled upon it on YT)
-King Kong (2000's ver) (for the Monsters there]
-Frieren (Exam Birb)
-Godzilla 1998 (For Zilla)
-Solo Leveling (only taking the Hunter/Adventurer Association aspect)
(Might add this soon, still not sure):
-Grimgar Fantasy and Ash (The entire cast probably, theyre an Isekai show that is pretty grounded in reality)
-Pacific Rim (only their Jaegers though)
-The Shy Snow Woman and the Cursed Ring (Of course I'm adding her, have you seen my pfp and profile banner? Why'd you think this was a SI-fanfic before? Lol)
-And other Kaiju movies for their Kaiju's, Monsters, skills.
Now, even though i said that i added those worlds, there might only be a tiny, like very tiny parts of them that i picked, for example: I created a new original monster based on the Stille from Frieren with some tweaks to it, it doesn't even influence the story, I think I'll add that bird monster in a slice-of-life chapter, and that's about it for the Frieren world lol.
I do hope you enjoy this rewritten story, and finally, welcome back my dear readers.
Old Version (If you're Interested):
[Chapter 1-6 and a chapter of 7-8 which are I completely dropped ¼ the way through]
Rocky, warm and humid.
Those were the sensations I had felt when I had woken up in some place i don't know
I couldn't see anything,
It was all just pitch black, but more importantly, something happened to me.
Just a few moments ago I felt....heavenly, sensational even, but why did it felt that way?
I know that the last thing I remembered was-
*Tire Screeching* *Crash* *Fwoosh* *Thud*
Right.....I got hit by a truck, I was just walking on the roadside when I got hit by a strong impact from behind.
I remembered all the sounds and sensations I had felt prior to waking up, from the Tire screeching, to the initial impact all the way to me going forward due to the force of the impact transferring to me.
Everthing in my immediate surroundings felt slow, like a cinematic moment, which wasn't too far off if we were to base it off of the things i was feeling at that moment
It was indeed painful and yet it also felt liberating, like I was finally free from something, whatever that was.
The low heat from orange sunset with it's light shining in front of me, and almost blinding my eyes as I was forced to stare at it.
'My pet's, what's gonna happen to them?', I thought worried.
'I don't have any friends who share the same love i had for my reptilian companions'
'Dang, It's sucks to die that way, I even took a backshot huh?' I try to amuse myself with idle thoughts of the memes i used to watch and read when I was still alive.
'Well, where the hell am i?, is this the afterlife?' I thought as I moved my head around, trying to discern my surroundings, if there is one.
I tried to get a feeling of my body, see if there's anything wrong with it, and as I was doing that, I saw something
A small light ahead just up ahead.
I instinctively moved towards it, I mean anyone would, right?
'somethings feels off here, my body's got a bit of a weird feeling to it' I thought but i didn't dwell on it too much
I then noticed something even weirder.
'What the? Why am i walking in all fours?' I thought to myself, completely puzzled, so I tried to stand up, "Hrrrrrnngggggh, don't i feel a bit heavy?" I said, complaining a bit however, that was when I heard low growling and cooing, with a little bit of hissing sound to it.
My spine tingled in fear, all my alarm bells were ringing, my pessimistic brain immediately begun to think of a conclusion at lightspeed.
'There's something in here with me!!!' I screamed in my mind
"Holy shiiit!!!" I heard the sounds again, but this time, it was now a full blown roar, which for some reason I could understand and had a strange familiarity to it, but I immediately threw that thought away since having been startled by the sounds of whatever animal was inside the dark place with me, made me do a mad dash towards the light, because my life definitely depended on it, even though I might already be dead.
'Shit, shit , shit, whatdaheck was that?!!' I kept screaming on my mind, hoping to hype up my brain into giving me more dopamine
Immediately reaching the light, I pounced outside, which was sort of a bad idea because it temporarily blinded me
"Gaaahhhkkk, My Eyes!!!!" I heard the roar again
I tried covering my face, specifically my eyes to get my eyes to acclimate from the blinding light oustide, It was effective, but I didn't stop running.
I quickly let my eyes get used to the light, creating a small opening through my fingers whilst turning my head around, looking for a spot to hide, but when my eyes returned their vision, I was stunned.
My eyes feasted on the magical landscape around me, I was high up on top of something from what I could tell.
A thick forest and green fields in the surroundings assaulted my eyes.
It was beautiful, so beautiful that it stopped me from thinking about whatever was chasing me.
I liked it, this was a completely new sensation.
A gust of wind blew me out of my dazed state
"Woah" I spoke, but all I heard coming out of my mouth were animalistic sounds.
"What the?" I spoke again, hearing my "voice", even though it sounded like some kind of animal, I could somehow understand it.
"Wait, is this my voice?" I look down on my body, and then my arms, scaly and pitch black, with sharp claws mounted on my hands.
"WHAT THE?!!!, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ME??!!!"
Ch.2
I had never seen nor knew who my biological Parents were, The Nanny who took care of me at the Orphanage told me that I was a blessing to them when I "arrived" on their doorstep.
'Life is full of unexpected things, might be bad or good that'll happen to ya so try to enjoy it in any way ya can' These were her words that night before she passed away in the morning, and true to her words, it was unexpected, she looked healthy and was still full energy, until she wasn't.
Her words might seem rather basic to some but because of our relationship, akin to parent and child, alongside her passing away, I've kept those words close to my heart, It has always reminded me whenever bad things happen and it helped me throughout my life, and I believed that the same thing would happen in this new world too.
"So the sounds I heard earlier in that cave was mine?" I say, looking at the cave, then to my "hands", now that I hear my voice, especially the shouting i did at the top of my lungs a few minutes ago, It was indeed my voice.
It took me that long to realize it, how embarrassing, or is this normal? I don't know.
I've never had a reference to compare, some Fanfics and other Isekai Stories might seem realistic but that's all that they are, fiction, they're not real.
"Now then, where am I? Heck what the hell AM I?" I try to take a look at myself, trying to identify what my new body looks like.
'Pitch black scales everywhere on my body, with pitch black wings and a tail, seems like I'm some sort of dragon?' I think to myself, looking down at my arms.
"Hmmmm" I squint my eyes, trying to recall where I've seen it before, the feeling of familiarity tickles my brain, but before I could find the answer from my memories, a sound catches my attention.
*Ding
[Night Fury]
(Open for more details»)
"HOLY S-" I stop myself from cursing out, 'I- I have a fucking System!!!!' I get all giddy and happy that I got a system, and what's more, I have an Appraisal Skill!! arguably the most important skill for any Isekai'ed Person.
'A Night Fury huh? That's cool, no wonder it looked so familiar'
'Well it has been a while since I've seen the movies'
'For now let's see what this says' I mentally press on it for more details.
[Night Fury (V) / Adult
Stands as a highly elusive and intelligent dragon species in "How to Train Your Dragon." Renowned as the Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death Itself, Night Furies are exceptionally rare and possess remarkable stealth. As a member of the Strike Class, these dragons, known for their intelligence, master the art of hiding in the night and executing dive-bomb attacks on unsuspecting prey with incredible accuracy, Notably, the Night Fury displays a distinctive ability to retract its teeth into its gums, a unique trait setting it apart from other dragons. (1/3»)]
As I was reading it, I came to a realization that since I have a system, this must mean that there are quests and shit too right? Fuck, I hope it's not a slave system, I 10/10 would rather die again.
"Uh, Hello, System?" I try to talk to it, It is tradition to try and talk with the system, It's only natural there must be some sort of A.I. running this thing right? Despite how unnatural reincarnating as dragon in another world is with a system to boot, but what do i know.
[Greetings Host]
Ooh, so there is an A.I running this thing, and it can talk, alright alright, seems I was correct, we're off to a good start
A rather neutral kind of voice answered me, what a shame, I was hoping it to have the voice of a woman, like in the Isekai stories and Fanfics i've read and watched, yes I'm THAT down bad, don't judge me
[I apologize that I did not meet your expectations, I will try to fit in with your desires my dear host.....I have changed it now]
Woah~, The system is customizable? And it now has a cool Office Lady Secretary vibes to it, guess "It" is a "She" now?
[I do not mind whatever pronouns you refer to me as I am in your possession, however, since you have requested a feminine voice, it would be correct to call me a "She"]
Duly noted Ms. or Mrs. System.
"Now, can you tell me where I am? What i am doing here? Why am i a dragon?"
[I apologize dear host, i do not have the information for that]
"Is that so?"
Well i guess that's beyond her capabilities
"Oh! And about my Appraisal skill, how does it activate or work? Can i just look at something that i want to appraise from a distance or do I need to to get close to it?" I asked her.
[You just need to focus your {Appraisal Skill} on the target of your choice, it will work regardless of distance]
Noice, I don't have to risk my life getting down from here, even though I have wings, there's a chance that I might not be proficient at using my wings cuz, you know, new body and all.
I might accidentally just impale myself to the jagged sharp rocks from below, just thinking about it makes me shudder.
I look around 'Since I'm on top of a mountain that is surrounded by a thick forest and grasslands, it should be easy right?, Night Furies have good vision, I think, the species description did say that they are good at hitting their targets'
I see running animals in the distance, woah, just how good are my eyes?, I can see a pack chasing after a large beast, are they dinosaurs?
I focus on the running pack, and it is HARD, when I try to discern a single one of them and focus on that, another one blocks my view and I feel like the skill resets and i have to focus again.
Let's find an outlier among them, 'There!' I put all my "eye-powers" and focus into activating the skill at that one in the front.
'hrrrrrrnnnnggggghhhhh, almost theeere'
*Ding
"Phew!!!, *pant* - I got it!!, Hey *pant* is the skill this hard to use? *pant*"
[No, It simply because you are too far away however there was no need to "push" yourself too hard as I was doing most of the work, you can rest easy] she said to me
"I see" Well, with that out of the way, lets open the description shall we?
"huh?" I stare at the name, "why does this seem so familiar?"
[Zilla Infant (I):
The young offspring of Zilla after it graduates and is deemed strong enough to leave its nest, this creature while, quick on its feet and cunning, is rather weak compared to the fauna of the outside world, which is why it travels in packs either led by a stronger Zilla Infant leader or a Juvenile Zilla.]
"Zilla?" Godzilla? Are they related to Godzilla somehow? Oh God did i just get transported to some Godzilla Universe? Or is it just because it looks like a dinosaur and that Zilla is the appropriate name to use since it just basically means "lizard" in some language i don't know right? I hope I'm right.
With that in mind though, i don't remember a Dinosaur Godzil- Oh wait! Now I remember, 1998 Godzilla movie, the Kaiju looked like a dinosaur, it was so different from it's previous iterations that it was collectively named just "Zilla" by the Kaiju/Godzilla Community as it looked nothing like Godzilla, or was it the actual official name? I don't know, not that it matters.
'Let's confirm it if it really is a 1998 Godzilla, or just a lizard named Zilla' I thought and I turn my head to face back at the place where the chasing baby Zilla's used to be.
Not too far off from where I spot them, I see swaths of them cornering the giant Ox-looking beast, who is like 3 times their height, and not to mention the bulkiness of the thing, easily 5 or 7 times a single baby Zilla's overall size.
'huh, it seems that they cornered it on a ravine from what i can see, by the way, what is that beast they are hunting?' I focus my vision on the cornered beast
*DING
[Behemox (IV)/ Adult Male
In the expansive Jungle of Zaleria, roams the Behemox, a majestic species that crossed a typical Ox with a Zilla somewhere down its ancestral tree, this shows the Zilla's Adaptive and Malleable DNA. This massive beast, standing taller than 4 double-decker buses stacked on top of each other, is a rather gentle giant, however underestimating it would be a big mistake as it has the ability to stun or kill its opponent with its loud bellowing(1/2)»]
As I was quickly reading the description, i took a quick look back at them and-
'WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?'
I practically screamed in my head yet again with a wide-eyed, jaws dropped expression on my face as another Zilla popped out from below the ravine, before going below the beast and delivering a fatal bite near the throat of the cornered Behemox.
The giant beast thrashed for a bit before a snap was heard, and with that the beast was no more, falling lifelessly on the ground with a loud thud.
Remembering the Zilla Infant description, I deduced that this was Juvenile Zilla, as anyone with a brain would, it seems that this is the leader of their "pack".
Ch.3
(Night Fury POV)
'Zaleria huh?, Is this the place where I'm at right now?' I ponder while i re-read the Behemox's description.
'Welp, lets put that aside for later' I look at the Juvenile Zilla, to see if anything changes in the description
*Ding
[Zilla /Juvenile
The older, juvenile form of the infant Zilla, classified as a Juvenile Zilla once it reaches 4 times the size of an Infant Zilla, this still growing offspring of Zilla has reached its rapid development stage, it has a barely developed and immature methane gland but it still packs a punch so beware of the flame breath it releases from its mouth.]
"Yup, it is a Juvie Zilla".
I have to say that their hunting tactics is quite an experience to witness, probably cuz this is the very first time seeing predators hunting aside from documentaries i watched in my previous life.
Taking it all in, I wonder, I'm quite calm throughout this whole ordeal huh?, dying to a car accident, waking up in another world, Is it because I am now a dragon? Which is a very different anatomy compared to a humans?
Speaking of Anatomies, since i am a dragon, i should require lots of food, but Night furies only eat fish right? How do i get that here? As far as i can see, there's no large body of water here.
With how crazy this world looks, i wouldn't be surprised to see a few ambush predators in a watering hole, Or do Night Furies eat other things? How about i ask Ms. System here
"Hey System, can I eat meat other than fish?" I ask her
[As a Night Fury, your main diet is fish, but can still eat any type of meat] She replies
Okay, that's good to know, "But why can i eat meat other than Fish? Is there a special reason for that?" I ask her again, maybe the movies never mentioned it.
[Even though you are called a Night Fury, you are a completely different species of Night Fury altogether] she replies
"So I am special kind of Night Fury, that's awesome"
"Wait, There are different species of Night Furies?
A few more questions asked, i decided to just return to the cave, conserve some energy, wait for when it's nighttime where it is most advantageous for me, as for what i learned, well, that's a story for another time.
I drag myself towards the caves entrance, once i went inside, my eyes could see clearly, how i couldn't see properly earlier when i woke up?, i don't know, i chalked it up to me moving to a new body.
Entering the comforts of the cave, I begin by exploring my "home", to look for anything dangerous as there might be other animals inside here.
A few minutes later, after making a few laps around my dwelling, i have come to the conclusion that:
My place is massive, but not too massive but i could probably fly a little bit around in here, a good place to practice for my flying skills.
I also made a sort of blasting range.
I look to my right and see the wall, and i could see the scorch marks and broken blackened stones around it with a bit of cracks on the black stained wall.
If you inspect the wall a little more you would notice that the black spots had different sizes and characteristics, some big, some small.
Yup, I have been testing different variations of my plasma blasts, and in doing so, i learned my first skill along with a few others
[Rapid shot Lvl. 1/10
-A plasma blast that is weaker but one you fire in quick succession to stun, disorient, warn or intimidate prey or opponent.
-You can fire a maximum of 4 blasts in quick succession should you decide to, the number of blasts increases by 1 each level up.
-Consumes 2 Shots
-Atk × .20]
This is not my only Skill of course but if you are asking what the 2 Shots means, well, in short, It's like mana but for my Plasma Blast in general, it also means that i have limited amount of ammo, and if i use it all up, i have to wait for it recharge again, I have 24 Shots per day, which means that i can only get 1 Shot recharged per hour, which kinda sucks, but what can i do?.
"Status" i say out loud before a blue screen only i can see appears in front of me.

____________________________________
Seeing my stats and skills, boy was i glad to see that i have a Regeneration Skill, I mean, Dragons are lizards too you know? So it makes sense to have the ability to regenerate especially on the tail, now i don't have to worry about my tail wings failing me once it gets damaged or ripped away somehow, but the wait time is gonna be troublesome.
Inspecting my Status Screen, my ears pick up a critter skittering outside my home, right at the entrance, and judging by the frequency of steps generated
'Centipede?' I crouch down to try and hide from its senses, it's a big one so it might develop some special abilities for detection, i mean why else would it be here? It's definitely here for me
'my stomach is hungry so maybe a few insects can act as my appetizers before i hunt outside, i kinda want to try eating a Behemox, it looked tasty' i thought to myself while drooling at the imaginary sensation of biting down on its juicy carcass.
-5 mins later-
Mmm hmm~, It tasted crunchy, a bit slimy on the inside, yet satisfying, my hunger is curbed for a bit.
What i hunted looked like those Giant centipedes in those ancient animal documentaries i saw back on Earth, but only it was a lot longer and bulkier.
It had thick chitinous scales but just one plasma blast and it went down, i regret using it to be honest, it blasted its head to pieces letting fly around the entrance, hopefully i managed to clean it up properly, who knows what could get attracted to its smell.
Cooking it with a plasma stream made it taste better for some reason but i didn't use it too much because the smoke coming out of my cave might attract something i dont want coming here.
I tried looking for more around my cave but to no avail which was a bummer, I planned to just have them for sustenance until i am ready or I could've used the centipede carcass to attract scavengers but i dont wanna risk it, so it seems like Gods plans are a go.
Oh and i saw the Zillas outside eating their prey too, so that was cool, and then i went inside my cave again.
'Welp, time to test flying' I climb to a high point in my home which is close to the wall and spread my wings, flexed my wing muscles, and then I brought them up and down in quick succession.
*flap*flap*flap*fap*flap*flap*
"Hrrrrnng" I increase the flapping of my wings but i just can't get off the ground in a natural rhythmic pattern, i sometimes move back and then forward and then any and all directions present on a compass with each flap and i do not like it.
'This is not working' i grumble to myself, 'How did Toothless do it?' i try to remember how he went from ground to the sky.
'if i remember correctly, he did one strong stroke which made him fly up quick, as well as jumping or pouncing towards the air for a bit in tandem with the wing stroke'
'Okay i think I get it now' I position my self to starting a jump and then-
*Blam!* Doing a strong jump then flapping once full force, I accidentally launched my back towards the wall 'I forgot i was quite close to it'
Oof, that....surprisingly didn't hurt one bit, a testament to my durability
I walk down and approach one of the sides of the wall, minding in my mind to not launch myself towards it a second time.
"Fuuuu, Okay, you got this, it aint too hard"
I flexed my wings, feeling every muscle tense, with a deep breath, I launched forward "Hup!" *Fwoom Fwoom* wings pounding the air. The ground slipped away, and suddenly-
I was aloft—really flying! The rush of cold cave air against my scales was electrifying
"Holy 💩!! I'm flying!!"
I couldn't stop grinning, looking down at the ground, my wings instinctively flapping by itself
I control it again to keep flapping in own way but not too disruptive of my flow, tis a weird feeling to feel this kind of feeling, but one i should fully embrace, get myself used to it, I mean it kinda feels lik-
*Bang!*
I hit the other side of the wall, the impact sending a shower of small stones and dust cascading down, falling with me and then on top of me.
"Ouch," I groaned, 'Ok that one definitely hurt me in the noggin', I muse in my mind before shaking my head to clear the last of the dust and small rocks that fell on top of me.
My first successful attempt at flying inside the cave had ended with a bit more of a BANG than I'd anticipated, kek.
I checked myself over quickly; no serious damage done, just a bruised ego.
"I guess it takes more than just wings and enthusiasm to master this flying thing," I muttered, half-amused and half-annoyed with myself.
With a deep breath, I pushed myself up from the ground, my wings unfolding with a rustle that echoed softly through the spacious cave.
"Again!" I say with enthusiasm, eerily similar to certain blonde violinist.
*Fwoom*
A few more tries and I finally got the basics of flying, another problem emerged which i quickly got rid was the landing part, just another set of trying my best and I got it
Which also gave me another problem to deal with, Haaaa~ they just keep popping up one after the other huh? I mean it makes sense but im allowed to complain about right?
Well the problem was practicing tight maneuvers, I know it's a bit arrogant to even consider mastering but i at least should get the basics of it, which i do but applying it is a bit of a problem.
"Haa~, I'll just sleep it off, I'm too bored and there is nothing to do" but before i could lay down a plasma stream on the ground where I'm about to lay down on, I heard the system.
*Ding
[You have earned a new skill:
{Flying lvl 1/10}!!. ]
Oh thank you, feels great to have new skills given by the System but....it feels kinda redundant to be honest, I mean Is it really a skill if a fish can breathe underwater? Same should be said to me flying because I have wings for cryin out loud, flying is in my blood!, but lets see what this says.
[ {Flying lvl. 1/10}
-Enables the host to achieve controlled flight through physical prowess and aerodynamic understanding.
-Each flap of the wings consumes 1 point of Stamina.
-Initial skill level allows for rudimentary maneuvers.
-With each level up, an improvement on flight duration, speed, and maneuverability while reducing Stamina cost per flap by 10% will be present, Skill mastery unlocks advanced aerial tactics, near-effortless soaring capabilities. (1/2») ]
'.....Ok it ain't so bad, I would like to apologise thank you Ms. System'.
[No worries dear host] she replies in a friendly manner, didn't know she could sound like that, or is just me?.
"Alright, I'll take a short nap and wait until it's night time" I say out loud to which she replies [I'll wake you up if it is night time if you want?]
"You can do that? Cool!, and thank you, wake me up alright?"
[Very well, take a rest]
I lay down a plasma stream on the ground before taking a well deserved nap.
Ch.4
(3rd POV)
-A few hours earlier-
As the black dragon goes inside its dwelling, a feasting of bovine flesh commences, the leader of the Zilla pack from before wastes no time ripping apart the belly of the Ox.
It opens its mouth, plunging it into the Ox, taking a massive bite into the preys belly, making it's blood spray and intestines spill out, It takes the spilled intestines into its mouth, ripping it out, before throwing it at it's siblings.
The guts and innards land in front of the little ones, to which they happily jump into tearing it apart to themselves, devouring the chunks they bit into, whole.
However, only a small portion of them managed to get a share of it, seeing this, the Juvenile Zilla makes a low guttural hum, a signal that makes the rest of it's siblings join it in its feast of the rest of the flesh.
Squelching sounds,
The tearing of meat from the bones,
An audible snapping and crunching of the tinier bones being broken.
Chomping mouths and swallowing of the food was all that was heard in the Pack of Zillas' immediate surroundings, coupled with the reverberating muffled steps and the loud but slow rhythmic breathing of the bigger Juvenile Zilla.
____________
After a few minutes of feeding, The Juvenile Zilla, lays down and sits on the side, and watches over it's tinier siblings', who are taking their turns, still stuffing their bellies until they are satisfied, it looks around aloof-looking but alert nonetheless.
A few more minutes later, the little ones then deliver some rather large bones of the Ox, all picked free from its meat in front of their leader.
The leader looks down on its siblings, and then to the bones, and then to it's siblings, the little one then nudges the big bones towards it's older sibling.
The Juvenile Zilla, seemingly understanding it's little sisters intent, brings its mouth to the bone, lifts it up before-
*Crack* *Snap*
A loud snapping and crunching of the bones was heard, the bones it it had been given was divided into smaller, bite sized pieces.
The little ones anticipating it, quickly jumped to the fallen bones and ate it's interiors.
The bone marrow, a soft and spongy tissue found inside it had been exposed, chock full of nutritional material, perfect for building a young animals growing body.
Of course the Juvenile Zilla didn't let such a chance go, so it ate some of it as well, as it is also a growing animal.
It had done all this, while still in the same position.
Kur kur kur kur
Chirps of the little ones could be heard, indicating their joy to more food.
_______________________
The food was all finished, except for the bones that had no bone marrow or those that were simply too big for the little ones to bite and chew through
The big one stood up again and ate the rest of it, ensuring that no food is to be wasted.
________________
The Juvenile Zilla had finished eating the leftovers, so it sits down in a way that it can watch the surrounding area.
The tiny ones played with each other, a game of chasing, playful biting, scratching and a little brawling here and there, all happening at the same time, ensuring that they use every inch of their bodies in order to become a big strong Zilla.
A few hours of playing and the Juvenile looks to the sun, an expert of time could see that it would be approximately 4 pm, btu we dont have that here, an animal relies on its instincts and knowlege gained from experience, with a low guttural sound and a mix of beastly cooing that vibrates the immediate sureounding air, it signals its brethren that it is time to hide from the dangers of the night, lest they will not see tomorrow's sun.
Although the Juvenile Zilla could somewhat protect itself from the creatures that lurk at night, the same couldn't be said for them, so the little ones naturally oblige.
They leave the spot where they once had their feast, only the skull with its horns attached, scattered bone fragments, as well as hooves and some hair was all that was left of their kill, almost nothing had been wasted, everything had been eaten, down to the bone (Kek).
The sun had now fallen and the group of Zilla babies along with their leader, had now hidden in their respective hiding place, and soon a new set of predators are now running a muck, well, running would be the wrong term to use.
*Click*Click*Click*Click*
*Skree*skree*skree*
*Flap*Flap*Flap*
A series of high pitched clicks, screeches and a plethora of wing flaps dominates the skies.
Bats, have taken over, they who rules supreme to the night.
For now.

~~~~~~}Story Start{~~~~~~
(Night Fury POV)
*Ding*ding*ding*ding*ding*ding
I was awoken by a series of loud chiming from the system, the ones that Ms. System had created for me.
"Ok! ok! I'm awake!, I'm awake!! stop it!" and with that the chiming stopped, I take a look at my Status Screen, nothing new really, but I've got to know other parts of me, there was a saying about knowing yourself in a battle or something, don't remember it but knowingbyourself is important, to know your limits and all, so lets see anything new.
"Haaaaaa~" yawning while stretching my body like a cat would and i can definitely say I have woken up from a fruitful nap. 'I hope I've got enough stamina and Shots in chamber' I think to myself as i walk towards the cave entrance however, another problem occured, obviously, it's the surroundings, outside specifically.
"Tsk, tsk tsk", It would've been at least a little more pitch black if not for the full moon shining bright up there, 'hah~ nothing i can do about it, I'm not Piccolo or Roshi so the moon stays living, for now'.
"I hope this doesn't affect my advantage" I say to myself before walking out the caves entrance.
I reach the edge of the mountain where it abruptly falls down to the expansive ground below, it'd be more apt to say that i live near a cliff face rather than a mountain, are they the same thing? Dont know.
I spread out my wings, stretching and flexing it to its maximum before bringing it down with a strong wingbeat which lifts me from the ground before i fly into the sky.
*INHALE* "Haaaaaaaa~, the air smells good and cool" I say to myself, feeling the cold air smoothly running along my body, I dont even feel a single drag on me, kek, pun intended, I know it's bad but so are most puns, 'Ha~, im getting distracted'.
"Welp, time to Hunt" I say while grinning.
Flying has never felt more natural. Each flap of my wings propels me to the skies, faster, higher, the thrill of speed and freedom giving me an absolute high, so high that no drug could ever quench it.
Flying high up above, i could see the dark world below me, only lit up by the moonlight, it was an attention-catching patchwork of shadows and moonlit clearings with some light passing through the leaves of the tall grasses and shrubs below, it was a like a seemingly endless mystery, unfolding as i pass through them, wingbeat after wingbeat.
"Ahh~, this is exhilarating!" I can't help but externalize my emotions, normally i don't do that when im in public but now?, no one here can see, hear, nor judge me for that.
"It's like a dream come true", after finishing the 1st How To Train Your Dragon movie and becoming a fan, I've always wanted to know what it felt like to ride with a dragon, so yeah, my childhood dream did come true, in a rather strange way.
I turn my sights towards the east and see the Zalerian Forest, well I say east but the Forest actually encircles my mountain so it's more accurate to say that the Forest is closer on that part, The Mountain is taller than the trees, i think, My area is more akin to a bald patch in someones hair given how odd it looks, bald patch being my mountain and hairs being the forest.
Anyways, I see the thick trees of Zaleria, the ones that i saw earlier in the morning, looking eerie with its branches that had long strips of mosses and vines drooping from its leaves and branches, despite that, it still looked kind of magical.
Flying for few minutes as fast as I can, I finally arrive there, and the sight is nothing short of breathtaking. The trees that rise from the ground were as tall as buildings, like living skyscrapers, their towering canopies that stretch so high it almost reaches the clouds above.
Each trunk is as wide as a building, Its ancient bark glowing faintly under the moon's silver light, and the things that were making it even more beautiful, were the fireflies, Thousands of them, possibly hundreds of thousands, or millions even!, flickering their little bright lights in the darkness, it was almost like i was inside a magical forest in some fantasy anime.
Taking a short break from all the flying, I land on tree branch near them, a quick observation one the fireflies, it seems they weren't so little after all, The fireflies were actually massive compared to the ones in my previous life, like 10x or 20x more, I appraise one that came close to me, probably curious of the new face in town.
*Ding
[**{Zalerian Fire beetle (Male)} Lvl. 2 Appraisal**
- **Physical Description**: The Zalerian Fire beetle is significantly larger than typical fireflies, about the size of a rugby ball, with a vibrant, luminous abdomen that it uses to communicate as well as threaten predators.
(1/2»). ]
'Dang, a rugby ball huh? How big is it compared to my hand?' I know Toothless was a big boi but i wanna know how much this bug compares to my hand, I raise my arm, trying to compare my arm to the ones close to me, As my hand grabs it, the flickering and relatively weak light it emits suddenly Intensifies and starts flashing on and off like a police Siren.
I don't budge of course, it's just flashing light, would be a different case if I wasn't accustomed to it earlier when i arrived here, so i still kept on grabbing the big boy, measuring it, and then playing with it, the intense bursts of light also made it's friends curiously approach me as well, clearly i didn't know social cues because while i kept on playing with the bug, they all, at the same time, released a foul odor in the air.
"Uggghh!!" Ewwwww!!, That smell, Uggh that is smell is absolutely disgusting!, It's as if the stank from a Rice Stinkbug was added with the smell of rotten eggs and Orange-flavored Paracetamol Syrup minus the orange part and a couple of other scents which i could not compare to anything in my old world.
But the greatest smell that gave me PTSD was the Medicine smell, it reminded me of what my Nanny forced me to drink, that medicine whenever i had a fever, Ugkkkhh, just remembering the taste of Orange-flavored Paracetamol Syrup makes me want to vomit, 'I guess you got to find some way to protect yourselves too huh?' I fly up, away from the fireflies' stinking odor.
"Alright, note to self, don't touch the fire bugs" I say to myself before flying again, "and don't get distracted again".
Maneuvering through the colossal trunks, showcasing my {Flying} skill to the max, The air here had the scent of old earth and sap, a smell as intoxicating as any I've ever known, I breathed it all in like there was no tomorrow, hopefully to put aside the fire beetles stench which is now getting further away.
Flying between these giants, I'm reminded of just how small I am in this vast world, yet how free I am to explore its wonders.
The thrill of discovery pushes me onward, deeper into the forest where few have ventured and fewer still have soared.
I place my attention around me, "Wow" I whisper to myself, in complete awe of the forest.
Taking the sweet clean air before exhaling it, focusing myself to not get distracted, I ready myself for the hunt, for tonight, WE EAT FRESH MEAT!!
"Ok, so what should I eat?" I go down, closer to the forest floor to see if there's any small animals I can catch.
There's not a lot of action here surprisingly, 'Maybe the Fire beetles have something to do with it?' i look up to see them lighting up the upper parts of the forest, which also inadvertently lights up the forest floor, and because they stank, and with that i move towards the darker parts of the Forest, Away from the fireflies, hoping to score some kills, which didn't take long, as there was one close by using the little light provided by the Fireflies, feeding on the bushes.
*Ding
[**{Camostegus} Lvl. 2 Appraisal**
- **Physical Description**: The Camostegus is a large dinosaur, resembling a once extinct prehistoric animal, The Stegosaurus, easily identifiable by its row of large, bony plates along its spine and a spiked tail, these are highly elusive beasts despite its relatively huge size. It stands roughly 4 meters tall and about 9 meters long. The only difference between them is that the Camostegus can blend in its surroundings with the help of it's color changing scales, hence the name.
(1/2»).]
'Wow, I i would not have detected that thing if it wasn't for my keen eyesight' i think to myself in amazement by being surprised yet again by how crazy this world is.
"Hmm, i wonder what dinosaur meat tastes like?" I mutter to myself while eyeing the lone....stego? camostego?, whatever.
With the stealth of a seasoned predator (self-proclaimed), I circled around to position myself in the shadows, right at where i judged to be it's blind spot, ensuring my presence would not alert my prey.
The Camostegus, remained blissfully unaware, which, to be honest, wasn't that hard to believe considering that if they were like a Stegosaurus, they'd also have a brain the size of a walnut, or was it peanut?, doesn't matter.
How the hell something evolved to be a Stegosaurus-shaped Chameleon was beyond me, I know that Kaiju DNA was adaptable and malleable based on the Behemox's Appraisal but it makes me wonder to you know? I mean-
'Geez, just focus man' I reprimand myself.
Huu~, i got distracted again, but it's alright, Its attention is completely on the vegetation it is happily eating, lil bro doesn't know that that would be its final meal, kekeke.
Timing my approach with the natural, albiet minute sounds of the forest to mask my movements, I closed in.
My target was the creature's relatively small head, a critical point for a swift takedown.
'Fufufu, this is quite exciting, acting like a predator like those nature documentaries I watched as kid, it's quite the feeling.
'Well I am a predator, just not the kind that attracts the Multiversal FBI' I muse to myself.
With each step, i get closer and closer, judging that i was at the optimal distance to strike, I burst into motion, pouncing from the shadows. My powerful hind legs launched me forward and my wings beat in tandem to boost me in the initial pounce before tucking it in for less drag, I aimed for the head with the full force of my body behind the attack.
The Camostegus was startled, but in a split second, it immediately froze in place, trying to blend more to its surroundings with the help of its camouflage ability, it was so adapted and confident into thinking it could hide from predators.
Immediately freezing in that short time frame was nothing short of impressive to see, showcasing that it's camouflage ability is extremely effective at hiding from it's predators.
'I already see you little bro!, you ain't hiding from me!!' I shout in my mind with manic glee
You can hide from your other predators with your camouflage but i'm built different, My jaws, armed with razor-sharp teeth, snapped shut on the dinosaur's neck right below the skull—a fatal blow aimed to sever the spinal cord and incapacitate the massive herbivore instantly.
The bite was significant, and the big bag of meat buckled under the unexpected assault, collapsing to the forest floor with a heavy, muffled thud that sent a tremor through the nearby underbrush.
The forest briefly fell into silence, the echo of the fall fading into a nothingness. As I stood over my downed quarry, the rush of dopamine and adrenaline from the successful ambush left me exhilarated, yet respectful of the life I had just taken.
"Hah, that was easy" licking my mouth that had its blood on it.
I go to its belly, opening my mouth, teeth out, before taking a chunk out of it.
Honestly I thought about just going near it non-chalantly and then kill it when im close as it is a very good camouflage, and it more accustomed to freezing in place rather than running, not that that would help, just delay the inevitable, but my gut and the little child inside me is telling me not to, which im quite glad I didn't, it was sort of satisfying, in a strange way.
'Oh God, being a dragon has messed with how my mind works huh?' i thought to myself as kept on eating quietly.
________________
A few hours of feeding and I am now satisfied, yes, satisfied, not full nor stuffed, but that's okay, I might encounter flight problems if i fully stuff myself.
The meat was alright, I think it might've tasted better had i cooked it using a {Plasma Stream} on it but I don't want to give away my location, I mean a bright light in the middle of a dark forest, come on, so I saved some for cooking later in my cave, the leftover meat was its ribs, all connected for easier carrying, I left the bones there, clean from meat as i thoroughly ate it all.
Judging that it's probably time to go home to my cave, I flap my wings and start my journey to leaving the forest while carrying the leftover ribs on my strong hind legs.
~~~~~End Of Chapter~~~~~

Authors Note:
Im planning to rewrite the entire thing while it is still early, to be honest i just went and posted this story without much thought, i gave the script to a friend of mine who is an editor to other works (He does editor works for web novels) , and he said that the motivations, reasons for reincarnating, were kinda lacking in the story and to be honest i agree.
The starting and premise wouldn't change much, hopefully.
My friend intends to correct grammar mistakes as long as i give him my drafts and keeps telling me to "Start slow, build the world first" which I didn't put much thought into when writing this.
I'll start rewriting this maybe next month after Finals are over and hopefully no supplementary classes over summer, but I'll still be posting chapters.
Bye.
Ch.6
-a few minutes of flying later-
"Hah, hah, hah" loud and laborous panting could be heard from my mouth, flapping with fervor just so i could not fall to my death by geting tired.
'Man, carrying the extra meat is a bit of a hassle, no scratch that, a fucking hassle', I currently have 120 stamina left from all the flapping i did to compensate for the added weight of the ribs, and although i could regenerate them faster than the amount i consume, I still feel tired.
'Why am i easily getting tired?, we'rent the Night Furies literal flying speedster brutes? Ugh, I need to train my muscles, or more like increase Stamina or something'
It's possible that my body is weaker than Toothless, maybe it's because i have a higher Shot limit than him? I have like 24 shots while he probably has like 10 or something, like Mages vs Fighters type of difference.
'Uuuuggghh, my wings feel like burning, as if it's about to fall off'
*Ding
[Success! Your enduring efforts have pushed your boundaries and has permanently increased your [Stamina] by 1!]
[Congratulations!, For surpassing your limits and achieving your first stat increase in the {Stamina} stat through exceptional effort, you've earned a bonus of 10 points to that stat! Additionally, as this is your first stat increase of any kind, an additional reward of 20 [Stamina] Points, Keep pushing the boundaries!]
Oh wow
[Stamina stat has been raised by 1+]
'Oh another point, nice but not nice at the same time' I grimace but felt elated at my situation, but hey, you know what they say: "No Pain, No Gain".
Flapping and gliding, Flap 5× and glide, was what my actions for the next 5-10 minutes were, effectively helping me gain 8 points in Stamina stat, before seeing my caves entrance.
"Just a little bit more, Come on!!" I hype myself up before one more burst of strength propels me faster towards my home.
Picking up speed, i arrived at the entrance before letting go of the ribs and letting it fly through the air, seeing it land inside my homes entrance.
*Thud*
*LOUD PANTING*
'Oh God, I thought my wings were about to break' I say in my head while looking at my wings drooping on the ground.
Before I let myself rest for a bit in order to regenerate my stamina, I went inside the cave, letting my wings drag on the ground.
"Alright, a successful night hunt, feels great" I'm pretty proud of myself.
"This...ain't so bad after all, it's like a permanent vacation" I say to myself while lying on the floor of my home and looking at the cave ceiling with the moonlight shining through the cave entrance.
I roll over and see the ribs, some bones got cracked in the landing, inspecting it more and i see lots of dust and tiny rocks attached to the meat.
"Welp, nothing that my stomach can't handle....maybe", don't certain animals eat rocks to help with digestion? I think I'll be fine.
Standing up and approaching the carcass, i blast it with a {Plasma Stream}, cooking it effectively, I turn the ribs over to cook it thoroughly.
Only a few seconds later did I stop, judging that it was cooked, I place it on the side of my room, where it was cleaned earlier in the morning for the purpose of a food pile.
Nodding to myself for a job well done, i go to another part of my room, where I slept earlier, and I dropped on there, dead tired and sleepy, but of course, not before laying a {Plasma Stream} as usual.
I don't know why I keep on doing that to be honest, Toothless doesn't do that very often, heck, as far as i know, he's only ever done that once, maybe because it just feels good, like a small itch you wanna scratch.
While my mind was drifting into dreamland, another part of the world I am in, was in turmoil.
~~~~~~Somewhere~~~~~~~~~~
"The cursed minions of Kamazots are getting restless" a sentient creature speaks, he holds a stave on one hand with mutiple small skulls of different animals attached to it at its top by a series of strings, he was without clothes aside from the leathery "crown" that sits on top of his head, with bat wings sprouting on the sides and a small skull at the center.
What's interesting about him is his long tail, scaly and shiny, the same with his entire body, which he shares the same look with everyone in the room.
"So it would seem Wise Sage Zugr, but hardly that is something that requires the calling of all of us tribe leaders, it is rather common after all, with that said however, is there a problem Oh Wise One?"
Another speaks in reverie while clasping his hands together in his chest, looking to the side where their leader is facing, also seeing the agitated Hellspawns, This one also wears nothing aside from the series of tiny skulls running along his chest, tied to a thick rope that rests on his right shoulder and left waist.
"I agree, but the Hellspawns are conveying..." Zugr pauses, making all the other tribal leaders wait for the answer, but to no avail.
"Sage Zugr?, they are conveying what?, Is there something wrong?" Another spoke, a fatter and more shorter one, wearing a brown leather towel across his chest.
"Yes there is" -he says as he holds his stave tighter, making the crystal atop the stave to glow for a short while before he continues-
"Kamazotz herself is also restless"
With those words uttered, the room immediately felt depressing, low gasps and murmurs arose, but he wasn't done yet.
"They are saying that a new Alpha Titan has emerged in the Zalerian Forest" and with that final nail to the coffin, the souls of the tribe leaders, finally left their bodies.
Everyone in the room, knows that when a new Alpha Titan rises, the lands becomes the Giants battlefield with them getting caught in the crossfire, as per their records.
"We must evacuate our people Away from the forest, we will no doubt be crushed under their feet as the Forest is just our neighbour" one speaks, making everyone turn to him, this one wears armor made from leather all around his body which is much larger and muscular than the rest of the leaders, indicating that he is a more physical type of leader.
"Yes, that would be wise, but what does the Oracle think?" Zugr looks to a dark corner of the room
Everyone followed his line of sight, also waiting for the Oracle to respond.
The Oracle opens her mouth before she says-
________________________
Author Note:
I've been having a hard time building the world, so i can't release chapters probably till i feel like it has passed my requirements, I've been so busy with other things in my life that i keep on pushing this to the side.
This is probably gonna be the last chapter I'll be posting for this version before the rewrite, I'm posting this because i just wanted you all to know what to expect with where the story is gonna go, yeah, there will be civilization, albiet a bit backward, still this is all i got, bye.
Ch.7
It's been 2 weeks since I've been living in this new world, and I've learned some things about it.
First is that majority of the giant Flora's and Fauna or "Kaiju" I've encountered in this place all have some sort of connection to Zilla, specifically their DNA, because according to the System:
[Zilla's DNA is extremely flexible]
Which is why, even the Tree's have it's DNA,
How it managed to do that is a mystery though, I asked the System about it and she doesn't know.
They probably only have the specific DNA which allows them to grow to huge sizes, and also why everything is so weird and brutal around here, otherwise everybody would look the same.
What I wonder though is that when evolution happens, it usually "offscreens" their progenitor right? Like what happened with Homo habilis or any of the ancient human species, which begs the question why is Zilla still around here?
Another question to think about.
As for my hunting, well, I mostly just bask in the sun to help with digestion, maybe train my skills as a way of killing time, mostly basking to wait for the night to come, only then would I hunt when night arrives.
At night is where it is most advantageous for me, obviously because of my black hide and scales, otherwise if i try to fly in the morning I'd easily stand out unless I go under some shade, which is why im just chilling in my cave in the mornings, I mean I wouldn't want to be a target.
As I was musing to myself-
*Roar*
'hmm?, what was that? I haven't heard of that noise around here'
And yeah, I too recognize which creatures make certain sounds here, it's kinda easy to spot which animal made that sound when you're flying up above, some grunt, gurgle, laugh, roar, chirp, clack, tweet, you name it.
One thing that shocked me while i was flying around was that even though I heard a birds tweeting, the sound actually came from an ant.
Yes, an ANT!!!
Ridiculous I know, which is why even though I've become somewhat familiar with the animals in my surroundings.
*Roar*
"There it is again, the heck is that from?"
I took a quick look outside, only my head popping out a little bit.
Ch.8
The sun's shining, birds were singing, flowers blooming, it was a wonderful morning to wake up to.
"Huwaaaaahhhhh~" I yawn and stretch, moving my....paw? and claws, scratching the floor in the process, ever since I got reincarnated into this body, I've been having urges and instincts to do certain things.
Like how I am so calm being here in this new world, the urge to survive, to hunt, Animalistic Instincts, I can control them to some extent but it feels better to let them be, it makes me feel whole.
Just a few massive trees away, I see a lone Behemox, grunting and bellowing, the right side of it's horns looks like it destroyed, judging by that, it seems like he just lost a battle with one of it's peers for the right to their feeding grounds, so it is now eating around here.
*MOOOO*
*CRUNCH*
*SNAP*
It might look vulnerable with one of its horns destroyed, but it still packs a punch, specifically it's concentrated bellow that temporarily stuns any predator, so facing it alone is suicide, unless you are in a pack, which would make killing it a little easier.
But not for me, I'm built differently, and I wanna hunt this beast, I've wanted to try and eat one of these before, it seems like God has graced me with a blessing.
So first things first, I lay low on the ground, stalking it, cautiously getting closer with each bite it takes on it's food, trying to learn and gauge how sensitive the senses of the creatures in this world is.
I mean wouldn't want this hunt to end up like the one last time.

[Auxiliary Chapter 1]
[Authors Note:]
You can skip this extra chapter if you want, or if you have the time, this is just an Extra for the rest of the information from the Appraisal Skill in the system.
ChatGPT made the majority of it, obviously, but i am not gonna include the extra info in the normal chaps unless i deem it necessary to the "plot" because i think it just takes up too much space and besides, most people wouldn't read it, and also, it just seemed like a cheap way to boost word count, so yeah.
If you do decide read it all, I'd like to know your thoughts on the matter, should i include it in the normal chapters or nah?

[Night Fury (V)]
[Stands as a highly elusive and intelligent dragon species in "How to Train Your Dragon." Renowned as the Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death Itself, Night Furies are exceptionally rare and possess remarkable stealth. As a member of the Strike Class, these dragons, known for their intelligence, master the art of hiding in the night and executing dive-bomb attacks on unsuspecting prey with incredible accuracy, Notably, the Night Fury displays a distinctive ability to retract its teeth into its gums, a unique trait setting it apart from other dragons. (1/3»)
The Night Fury is medium-sized by dragon standards, with an average length of about 29 feet from Nose tip to Tail tip, 6 feet when walking on all fours, and a wingspan that can reach up to 50 feet. This sleek, jet-black dragon has a streamlined body that aids in its supersonic flights, making it one of the fastest flyers in the dragon world. Its scales absorb lightning, contributing more to its ability to vanish into the darkness seamlessly via invisibility. The Night Fury's tail, equipped with a distinctive split that it can adjust to fine-tune its aerodynamics, as well as its dorsal spines, further emphasizes its exceptional maneuverability and precision in the air. (2/3»)
The Night Fury's capabilities extend well beyond its prowess in flight and stealth. This dragon species is equipped with a formidable offensive ability known as the "plasma blast". The precision with which Night Furies can target and unleash these blasts is unmatched, allowing them to strike distant targets with pinpoint accuracy. Additionally, Night Furies possess acute sensory abilities; their hearing and eyesight are highly developed, enabling them to navigate and hdarknessomplete dar.ness (3/3)]

This massi,ve bea,st, standing taller th,awere double-decker buses stacked on top of each other, is a rather gentle giant, however underestimating it would be a big mistake as it can stun or kill its opponent with its loud bellowing (1/2»)
With its towering frame and massive, curling horns that span wider than most vehicles, it displays impressive intimidation tactics to ward off other Zilla-beasts. Its thick, rugged hide is dappled with shades of earthy greens and browns, providing camouflage among the towering grasses and dense woodland of its habitat. Despite its intimidating size, the Behemox is an herbivore, grazing on the specialized flora capable of sustaining its immense bulk, and using its great horns primarily in ritualistic displays rather than combat. Living in herds that can darken the horizon, these oxen are known for their protective nature, forming impenetrable walls around their young with their bodies to shield them from the predatory Zilla-beasts. Their deep, resonating bellows can be heard for miles, a haunting and beautiful echo across the plains that shows the raw power and grandeur of these incredible creatures. (2/2)]
(The one in Ch.3 is 10 meters tall and is heavily inspired by the Sker Buffalo in Kong: Skull Island).

[Behemox (IV)/ Male]
[In the expansive Jungle of Zaleria roams the Behemox, a majestic species believed to be the result of a natural fusion between a typical Ox and a powerful, apex creature somewhere down its ancestral line due to its adaptive and malleable DNA. Towering taller than four double-decker buses stacked atop one another, the Behemox is a gentle giant by nature—but underestimating it would be a grave mistake, as its thunderous bellow can stun or kill an opponent in a single blast of sound depending on the size.

[Zilla (II)/ Infant]
Analysedng offspring of Zilla after it graduates and ,is deemed s.rong enough to leave its nest, this creature while, quick on its feet and cunning, is rather weak compared to the fauna of the outside world, which is why it travels in packs either led by acoloursger Zilla Infant leader or a Juvenile Zilla.]
(2.2;ms tall according to Google)

[Zilla /Juvenile (III)]
[The old.r, juvenile form of the infant Zilla, i,s classified as a Juvenile Zilla once it reaches 4 time,s the size of an Infant Zilla, this growig offsprisurviveilla has Kaiju-infestedpid development stage, it has a barely developed and immature methane gland but it still packs a punch so beware of the flame breath it releases from its mouth.]
(The Juvie Zilla on Ch.3 is 12 meters tall, and if you ask why, it didn't just attack the Behemox head on is because while it is taller, it is still quite slimmer and lighter compared to the Ox, think of it like a stick bug VS a Goliath Beetle if that makes sense)
[Warbat (IV)]
[A fearsome aerial predator, Warbats are serpentine kaiju with a terrifying presence and a penchant for ambush. These massive winged serpents are known for coiling around prey mid-flight and constricting them with crushing force, all while delivering devastating strikes with their powerful jaws. Armed with membranous wings that can double as gliders and whips, they are formidable foes both in the air and on the ground. Though often solitary because Warbats are known to exhibit territorial behavior, they will form a small group with the strongest leading them, attacking anything that dares to intrude on their domain. (1/3»)]
A fully grown Warbat can stretch over 100 feet in length, with a wingspan capable of eclipsing entire trees or cliffsides. Their scale coloration blends between earthen browns and reddish-orange hues, with their wings glowing faintly when agitated or preparing to strike. Their eyeless design speaks to their subterranean origin, relying on advanced thermal or vibration-sensing organs to track prey, making them exceptionally difficult to evade in close quarters. (2/3»)
Despite their bulk, Warbats are deceptively agile. Their ability to dive from high altitudes at breakneck speeds, wrap around prey mid-flight, and strangle them into submission makes them apex predators in their environment. Additionally, their internal biology allows them to spit out a flammable chemical mist, though few live long enough to see it used. Their aggression, size, and terrifying aerial presence make them one of the most dangerous kaiju to encounter in the open sky. (3/3)]
[Leafwing (II)]
[Leafwings are small, agile, and vicious flying predators native to the dense canopies of Skull Island. At first glance, they resemble harmless foliage due to the leaf-like patterns and coloration of their wings, a camouflage tactic that has fooled countless prey into letting their guard down. However, when agitated or on the hunt, they reveal their true nature, becoming fast, precise killers that attack in swarms, capable of tearing apart even larger creatures mid-air with coordinated precision. (1/2»)
Roughly the size of a large eagle or condor, Leafwings are known to be some of the most territorial avians on the island. armour-like, leathery wings produce very little sound, making their approach nearly undetectable. Their jagged beaks and talons are designed for rending flesh, and when hunting in groups, Leafwings display an unnerving levelYup pack intelligence. These creatures typically avoid confrontation wThe kaiju-level threats, but in large enough numbers, they can become a serious threat even to titans. The shrieks of a Leafwing swarm in flight are often the only warning a victim gets before being torn apart in the sky. (2/2)]
[Patchwork Centipede (II)]
[The Patchwork Centipede is a large, subterranean arthropod found in caves, crevices, and dense jungle undergrowth. It is known for its distinctive habit of grafting shed skins, bones, wood, rocks, and other materials into its own exoskeleton, forming an uneven, protective carapace. Patchwork Centipedes are obligate predators that supplement their diet through scavenging, often drawn to both freshly killed and long-dead carcasses from which they strip usable materials.
These centipedes grow to considerable lengths, with armor adapted to their environment: encrusted with minerals, stones, and metals in caves, or wood, moss, and bone in forest habitats. Their armor provides both protection and camouflage, making them difficult to detect among surrounding debris.
While generally slow-moving, Patchwork Centipedes are capable of sudden, short bursts of speed, which they use to ambush prey or retreat. They hunt in small colonies, combining numbers, venom, and mobility to subdue targets. Their venom is mild but effective at weakening and disorienting victims, allowing the colony to overwhelm them.]
