After an absurdly unlucky death by a stray bullet, teenager Adam Smith is reincarnated at the absolute bottom of the food chain: a tiny snake hatchling in a monster-infested dungeon. 

Cursed with his trademark misfortune but blessed with an unshakably optimistic spirit, Adam must navigate a world where his own siblings are his first predators. 

Armed with a new Evolution System that rewards him for every creature he consumes or defeats, Adam begins his grueling climb from a helpless morsel to a cunning hunter. 

Using his human wit and gradually evolving serpentine abilities, he turns the dungeon's dangers into opportunities.

With a semblance of order restored to his newly expanded—and deeply dysfunctional—party, Adam decided it was time for a proper assessment. He focused on Ignis, willing his system to analyze the fiery lizard. A new, simpler status screen appeared, shimmering with a golden hue.


◇Solar Flare (Active): Unleashes a concentrated blast of superheated light and fire. Short range, high damage.


◇Molten Armor (Passive): Scales are superheated, dealing fire damage to attackers on contact. Increases physical defense.


◇Cinder Dash (Active): Engulfs itself in flames and charges forward, leaving a trail of fire.


Adam was impressed. Solar Flare was a powerful, close-range nuke. Molten Armor made Ignis a walking hazard, a perfect deterrent for melee attackers. Cinder Dash offered both mobility and area denial.
