I passed out.
“…Kyuu.”
And I wake up to an unfamiliar ceiling.
“(An unfamiliar ceiling…)”
It’s so cliché, that I say it to myself.
“Are you awake?”
I hear from next to me.
I turn that way, and see one of the old people I met before.
“After we saw that the battle in the forest was over, we fearfully went over there to check. We found you unconscious and brought you here.”
I see. That’s why I’m in this house.
“And we saw many of the monsters that caused us grief dead. Our village’s future looks bright.”
“Kyuu.”
That’s nice. I hope it’s headed in a better direction… At least it’s not nothing but despair anymore.
“And this is all thanks to the Snake God. We bow down and thank you…”
“…Kyu?”
Well, hum. I did exterminate the army spider swarm… But Snake God? Where did that come from?
I’m completely caught off guard by those words, as I feel satisfied about a job well done.
“So Snake God, do you require food?”
“…Kyuu.”
Well, but… I guess it’s not that unreal to be treated as a god in this tiny village?
Let’s not deny that. Not that I can anyway, since I can’t talk.
I just shake my head to say I don’t need food.
“Then do you wish to rest here? Your body is covered in wounds…”
“Kyuu.”
I’ll take them up on that.
I’m not in any condition to make the trip back to the capital. I feel languid because of the wounds.
“I will take my leave. Take your time resting.”
“Kyuu.”
I wave my tail as the old person leaves.
Well then… I’m alone, but first, I want to check my condition.
I’m pretty sure I was told I could evolve before I passed out.

Ah, I’m already level twenty… Wasn’t that fast? Already level twenty?
Is it because of all those army spiders crowding around me like idiots? There were army spider generals among them too.
I guess I got a lot of EXP from that.
Show me the possible evolutions.
‘Yinglong of the four sacred beasts’
‘Hydra’
‘Young guardian dragon’
‘Magia dragon’
Ou, that’s quite the strong sounding lineup.
Even just their names sound strong, so let’s have a look with Appraisal.
《Yinglong of the four sacred beasts》
《C rank monster. Can stock up on water, has the power to make lightning fall, and blesses people. It also carries an evil aura, and the state of the world of Man depends on its whim. Has the power to take human form and come down to the world. It is important to show respect to all people, to avoid offending the moody dragon in human form.》
《Hydra》
《B rank monster. A calamity dragon that spreads disease and poison. Nothing remains in the path traversed by a hydra.》
《Young guardian dragon》
《B rank monster. According to legends, it is the young form of the guardian dragon that protects the great kingdom created by god.》
《Magia dragon》
《B ranked monster. A dragon that commands the power of magic at will. Every mage craves its wisdom, and it sometimes brings destruction.》
Ooh! They’re all dragons!
I reached the end of the snake line, and it’s all dragons from here on?
So… Let’s not go with the hydra.
Poison Fang was good to me, but I can’t go with something this venomous.
I feel like I couldn’t be with Reve… And the other three… The two B ranks look most appealing.
But… Hum. I’m drawn to this yinglong of the four sacred beasts. Taking human form would be nice.
“Snake God.”
As I try to decide, the old person comes back with a container.
“This is a medicine passed down in our village, made to heal wounds.
“Kyuu.”
“Ah, I’ll gladly take it.
I grab it with my tail, and deposit its contents into my stomach.
“Kyuu!”
Ah, amazing. My body feels warm… Eh!? Wow, I really feel my wounds healing.
“Fufuoh. I’m glad you like it.”
I wave my tail a little, and drink the rest.
