 Chapter: 1 The Rebirth?

    Chapter: 1 The Rebirth?


    Day: 0


    There I am resting in a hospital bed I never really thought that my life would end like this my life was pretty ordinary average grades, average family, no relationship I didn''t believe in the martial arts or there was stuff after death or anything like that I said my last goodbyes to my parents and loved ones and finally closed my eyes hearing the weeps of my parents and siblings¡­


    Day: 1???


    I reawaken in darkness? I was floating around in some kind of liquid feeling that I couldn¡¯t describe I read novels about reincarnation and stuff but I didn''t expect it to be real¡­


    Day: 2?


    I have been floating along bumping into stuff for??? I''m not even sure since I lost count of time what I learned was the place I was in was an oval shape but that''s about it considering I''m probably not human or anything like that I can''t measure my size to say how big the area is I figured the novels knowing exactly how big they are without size estimates were bogus and stuff pulled out of there behind to get the story slightly entertaining¡­


    Day: 3?


    Having only the mind to entertain yourself or anything like that makes it boring least I have been able to have thoughts of my past actions and reflect thinking of the joyful moments but currently whatever lies past this cocoon? Curse? Lair? I most likely won''t have an easy time surviving or living so I must make the best of the best I have currently before it''s gone¡­


    Day: 4


    I haven''t been paying attention but through bumping into the walls? Or whatever I recently noticed I have been bumping into them more frequently not a huge difference but still a difference. I also noticed I can see a little better. My guess is I''ve been reincarnated as a creature of some kind and I''m a baby growing. I don''t have high hopes considering some novels/anime have been reincarnated as a worm snake etc. I don''t get what is with snakes being strong and stuff especially snake dragons I think them being so thin even if they are long makes it very easy for them to die considering a good hit could sever them from the body if the hit was strong enough which most novels and stuff I read hopefully its nothing to bad¡­


    Day: 5


    Thankfully the thought of me being a snake or worm or something worse is alleviated since I seem to be developing legs or something like that but not fully since I could be those half-human snake hybrids but yeah I''m questioning why I''m even talking to myself or having a little journal in my head is it for boredom? Curiosity? or something else? I am not quite sure but hopefully it doesn¡¯t mean I''m going crazy or anything like that hoping for the best in other news the frequency of bumping into the walls or should I say eggshell since I''m most likely a baby creature developing in an egg has increased im kinda worried since unlike the baby creature I am they probably had instincts that tell them when to hatch but I don''t think I have such instincts and if the creature I am is kinda like those fish who eats the eggs who hatch to slow or deserts/destroys them I probably would be sent back to reincarnation? Or is this the final reincarnation i have? Could I reincarnate before but don''t remember if I did why do I remember my past reincarnation? So many questions but not so many answers¡­


    Day: 6


    The more I think about such thoughts the more worried I get lately I haven¡¯t been able to sleep. Do I need sleep? Did I ever sleep or did my body just go unconscious? Well anyway, the worrisome of developing wrong or something going wrong has elevated to a point where I wanna break out early but if I break out early I might become a runt of the species I am, and that only leads to a slow painful death I would rather be in here having a chance for a quick death than a long slow death cause I was impatient or something like that¡­


    Day: 7


    Worrisome about hatching or whatever is coming closer and closer I have been bumping even more frequently and I''m not sure I''m ready to hatch yet only time will tell I guess but even so I have gotten busy trying to find what species I am tho hatching might tell me quickly but thats if I hatch I atleast wanna know what species I am if I don''t hatch from what I figured out im most likely a bipedal considering compared to my arms my legs are big u might be asking how I know? Well let''s just say some bumping helped on how big my arms are considering human reflex made me try to brace for impact with my arms to only find out my arms aren''t that big or at least long but my legs in other news although I can''t move them much I can roughly estimate that there much bigger than my arms that''s for sure rounding down the creatures I am to prehistoric or fantasy considering most novels or anime have fantasy worlds Im pretty sure its fantasy but only when I hatch will I know for sure¡­

    Day: 8


    Talking about the frequency of bumping into ¡°walls¡± has been boring so ill try not to talk about it and try to ignore it but in other news, tho I never talked about it Im questioning if when I''m close to hatching would I need food or water considering I haven¡¯t been feeling or having the need to eat or drink at all tho that is most likely due to me being a baby creature and floating in an egg which has enough resources or nutrients to live enough for me to hatch tho I don''t get why in novels or anime they don''t talk about how training or anything like that would make them need to use more resources wouldn¡¯t the resources in the egg run out or something like that but now considering this is reality I would rather not test out if that was true or not¡­


    Day: 9


    I should be close to hatching or something like that now the egg i have been in has gotten tighter and sometimes it''s hard to move Im guessing I got lucky and got reincarnated when it was about to hatch or I would have been stuck here for months on end if not years if I am a dragon species or a wyvern but in good news this help me narrow down the suspected creatures further since if I''m close to hatching I won''t develop wings or anything like that and from repeatedly bumping into my eggshell time to time I most definitely do not have wings so im probably not some OP fantasy dragon who makes the earth shatter or whatever those novels I read say but If im an humanoid or anything like that wait most humanoid creatures like gnolls trolls humans or goblins dont lay eggs so i could be a lizardmen? But most novels I read or mangas or anime shows don''t have lizardmen with small arms so I''m not a humanoid creature most likely and considering I most likely have a tail I''m probably some kind of lizard maybe a drake. But drakes would probably have bigger arms so not a drake¡­


    Day: 10


    Though I never really talk about it I can hear stuff from the outside of the egg sometimes I hear footsteps, the wind blowing against the trees, or roars so from all that im most likely in a nest of some kind and considering there is roars tho im not sure if roars can travel super far or not in this world im most likely in a forestry area or ontop of a high cliff end which means my safety is pretty good and considering im around these areas I most likely have a parent or 2 maybe im in a society of creatures that live together like packs or something like that tho if im in a pack like that I would be a low level meat picker having to follow orders most likely from some creature superior status of me in the same species possibly older siblings or the parental figure which makes me anxious to wanna hatch early since i wanna be the oldest but possibly being the runt cause of abrupt hatching period makes me reconsider that possibility and considering how literally all novels about hatching as a dragon tells how nutritious eggs are i should be able to stay here for a bit¡­


    Day: 11


    I haven¡¯t noticed it yet but I realized my body or well the body of the creature before I inherited it but either way I noticed how im starting to feel? Hunger? I haven¡¯t noticed it clearly cause I was always in deep thought and such as that but most likely the resources fueling my growth in this eggshell is starting to dry up which is causing my body to be hungry but even if the eggshell is drying up there should still be some nutrients left im gonna try to stay here a little longer at least until I hear the other of my species hatch and considering there babies and will squeak most likely I should be able to hatch around the same time they hatch¡­


    Day: 12


    I have been here for how long? I am not even sure anymore but what I do know is the body im in nutrientinal needs are increasing my body has been crying out of hunger more and more and it has been tough to try to focus but either way time to time I hear footsteps coming closer deep breathing, grunts, snouts, etc. from the sounds im most likely some kind of beast instead of a small lizard or humanoid which is good and bad if this is a fantasy land most likely I might get hunted down if im a strong species if im not it will be tuff to try to survive in a fantasy type world¡­


    Day: 13


    The pain of needing food has increased severely I''m not sure how much longer I can hold on but lately, the outside world has gotten quiet deadly quiet... I''m not sure what happened but hopefully, it''s just because it night hopefully its just night considering the few what? Days? Months? Years? I''ve been here it hasn''t ever gotten quiet like this so I''m doubtful it''s because it''s night but either way I''ll try to wait¡­ the sounds of small snorts and breathing could be heard before a crunch sound came... Most likely whatever was out there got eaten I''m kinda thankful I didn''t give out in the pain and came out I guess I''m lucky and patience is key maybe learning patience will be important for the future¡­


    Day: 14


    The pain of hunger has increased tho I told myself that I wouldn''t talk about it I can''t bring myself to lie when circumstances show¡­ It has been very hard to move I''m not in some liquid moving around it is more of being squished into some place with barely any room to move in and having to face starvation the only comfortable thing that brings me happiness is im in an egg which I can break out of but even so what if the weakness of hunger makes me unable to be strong enough to break out most likely the old body would never face this problem considering it would be in a semi unconscious state which makes it use less energy/resources which causes it to have enough nutrients to survive in the egg longer¡­


    Day: 15


    The hunger pains are almost unbearable but even so I try pushing through the pain considering the event that happened a while ago im not gonna try risking being out early to only be eaten and as far as I know that could of been the same species as me which hatched early but the parent of the creature thought it was a runt and ate it to reduce resources¡­Im thankful that creature came out before me otherwise I would of been the one eaten instead of them but yeah now im starting to think of what to do when i break ou-wait¡­ I hear lots of little growls and stuff outside of the egg i didnt even realize it but my own monologue and talking has drowned out the noise and i almost didnt hear it, its my chance to come out which is most likely needed¡­ I try bashing at the egg with my head which didnt turn out that good since i had no momentum since i couldnt really headbutt or charge to break the egg but as soon as I thought that I wanted to hit myself in the head but my small arms made it so im unable to i move myself slowly ¡°sideways¡± using my legs kicking the eggshell which brings my head momentum to hit the eggshell with my head with some decent force? Which then cause it to crack a little and i continue to kick and bash until the egg finally broke the sight of the world and my ¡°siblings¡± leave my gasped¡­

 Chapter: 2 The Hatching?(incomplete

    Chapter: 2 The Hatching?


    Day: 16?


    To my shock I am apart of tyrannosaurid genus its obvious to tell since pretty all my ¡°siblings¡± have 2 claws which is very known on a certain dinosaur so im most likely a species of tyrannosaurid hopefully im a tyrannosaurus instead of something like a tarbosaurus since when tarbosaurus was around I would have to be wary of giant crocs when trying to drink water and therizinosaurus not like I would try to fight 1 but tyrannosaurus had way less predators and competition only real predator would be at juvenile or baby stage when dealing with dakotaraptor tho finding food might be hard but I should have a parental figure which will help until im big enough to hunt or go on my own¡­


    Day: 17


    It has been a day u might be asking where is the parental figure? I already met her? Him? A bit ago which surprised me by how wounded? Injured? It looked the parental figure was a giant tyrannosaurid it has a scar over its eye a claw missing which leaves it with 1 claw on 1 of its arms might of lost it in a fight and scars around the face and throughout the body tho the scars are more apparent on the head, neck but thankfully like I thought it brought us food it regurgitate food which was meat which landed between me and my siblings just now remembering how hungry I was i went to go eat some meat which was a success i manage to eat a decent amount before the meat became scarce which brought infighting for the few scraps ofc I didnt fight it I already got my fill and I dont wanna risk injury just when im born but interestingly through the fight I havent seen my siblings bite each other once they more or less use there body to push the other down or kick time to time when getting knocked down after a few brawls the biggest out of all of us ate all the scraps and did a high pitched roar showcasing dominance ofc I stood down not wanting to risk internal injury or wasting energy for a useless fight with no rewards which leads us to night time where all of us went on to sleep kinda on each other¡­


    Day: 18


    I woke up to some footsteps when I opened my eyes I see the parental figure going out to hunt most likely which gave me the opportunity to check out the nest and other stuff which I found interesting around the nest the soil was very dense/compact into a deep brown color when stomping/jumping on the soil it didnt move 1 bit another interesting thing i found was the nest had plants near it probably as camouflage to protect the hatchlings well if my siblings didnt have a eat me yelling noise since they yell every 5 seconds but the nest is interesting it has shallow amount of padding of soil forming a ridge kinda with some leaves in it which seemed to fall from the tree near us but through my rambling i didnt even notice my siblings going out of the nest picking at trees or on the dirt? When i got closer i saw they were picking/eating bugs crawling around the floor and trees sometimes picking fights cause both of them were after the same bug which actually seems smart they are taking opportunities to fuel there growth even when the parental figure is gone or not feeding them so I do the same but to my surprise its pretty easy to catch/eat the bugs the taste can be explained as interesting to say the least but yeah I went off eating bugs as many as I can before I even notice it the parental figure is back presumably ate something indicated with tads of splashed blood on there face still which we all went back to the nest where the parental figure regurgitate the food it ate which leads to night time where small scurry or roars could be heard to footsteps slowly drifting to sleep¡­


    Day: 19


    When the parental figure went off to hunt we all pretty much did the same thing ate bugs etc. but i notice something interesting while we were eating bugs a few of them decide to go somewhere which i followed same for most of our siblings who notice most of us going off to a place which was a small pond? Cant say how big it is but i can estimate its less than half the size of our parental figure but we went to drink water which was a success since the pond was so small most likely no predators were there when we came back to the nest the parental figure was there which dropped off meat which we ate until its nighttime the few baby tyrannosaurids who ate bugs instead of drinking water were seemingly uncomfortable or thirsty which caused them to go off at dark without the parental figure supervision after a few minutes they were gone a sharp cry from them could be heard which alerted the parental figure running off to the sound most of us were scared and all hid together in the nest until the parental figure came back out of the 4 tyrannosaurids only 2 survive¡­


    Day: 20


    Yesterday night just showed how important it was to not stray off to far even if the parental figure is close.. We continued our normal routine of eating bugs but I was much more careful same for the 2 surviving tyrannosaurids it seems but to everyone surprise a small mammal looking like a rat shown up which lead to a fight leading to most of our siblings to have a brawl I went off sneaking past them and ate the mammal without them noticing being to into the brawl and went off eating bugs until the parental figure came back with a dead body?

    Ornithomimus supposeidly a very fast dinosaur surprisingly it got caught and killed most likely an ambush either way there is enough to eat which brought all of us to go on eating I ate as much as possible and since there was so much food there was no reason to fight¡­


    Day: 21


    It was been 5? 6? Days since I was born telling time is much easier when u have the moon and sun but in other news we continue doing things like normal I haven¡¯t noticed it but the bugs around us has became more scarce including the mammals that sometimes pop up I also notice the size differences that are showing some of my siblings which havent gotten much food are noticeably smaller and thinner compared to the siblings who got food well for me im not the biggest but i can say im above average in this group u might be asking how? Well I steal food time to time when I can from the bigger creatures and considering im not wasting energy fighting or anything like that I should have extra energy to grow but when our parental figure came back it seems they havent manage to get any food considering no blood stains or anything like that it regurgitate again but the food regurgitated wasnt or isn¡¯t as fresh compared to the last few days ofc we still ate but its kinda worrisome that they werent able to hunt today¡­


    Day: 22


    Same routine as before but from the looks of it there is way less bugs and mammals to eat which caused me and my siblings to explore/search a bit more interestingly we saw more creatures including different species of bugs ranging in size the land we are in a forestry area with big trees lush vegetation which lets us hide more easily we also saw different kinds of dinosaurs including triceratops, a lone ankylosaurus, pachycephalosaurus, hadrosaurs and more which helps us narrow down the list of the tyrannosaurids we are which is tyrannosaurus which is the biggest of the tyrannosaurids and have a pretty easy time growing compared to other tyrannosaurids considering they would have to face other big carnivores while there arent as many big predators when tyrannosaurus lived but yeah when I got my fill I went back near the nest hiding in a bush after a while most of my siblings came back but around 2 or 3 were missing¡­ in total there is around 8 of us out of what? I forgot but it was most likely around 15 babies half of us already dead¡­ but in good news our parental figure is finally back tho it seemed that they didnt get any prey¡­ instead of feeding us they just sit down near the nest resting and did a low growl which caused my siblings to group up so I did to then they decided to move which lead us to a large river which the parental figure drank water from my siblings also drank water and so did I until we came back to the nest to rest for the night I can see some of the siblings being uncomfortable from hunger thankfully I ate enough or I would be the one who is lying around uncomfortably cause of hunger but seemingly cause what happened a few days ago still scarred them which made them unwilling to leave at night¡­


    Day: 23


    Interestingly the parental figure decided to not hunt today instead stay with us laying down near the nest which we do our own things mostly hunting for small scraps or anything we can eat until we found something¡­ we found a carcass it seem to be rotten considering the horrible smell and weird colored meat slight yellow bulges or something like that even then 2 siblings which most likely were the hungry ones yesterday night decided to eat it and we went to the little puddle pond area which we drank water from then came back resting with the parental figure after a while the parental figure went off hunting most likely but throughout that time 1 of the siblings with ate the ¡°spoiled¡± meat seem to be ill or uncomfortable while the other seem to be doing ok after a while he is fine? But parental figure is back with a pachycephalosaurus which seem to be a injured juvenile since its leg is injured and its unlikely the parental figure would bite the leg instead going for the neck we all feast except the 2 siblings who ate spoiled meat¡­


    Day:24


    The 2 siblings who ate the spoiled meat arent looking to good today they are sluggish and dont seem to have good energy but in other news lets talk about size currently im around the 2nd biggest out of all my siblings the biggest is around a bit taller by around im not even sure since cant estimate my size or anything like that but compared to the smallest there around a head or so shorter from my estimate since these ¡°siblings¡± never wanna stay still to see size difference but in other news a few Acheroraptor were found which are known to be around 0.6-0.9 meters tall and 2-3 meters long we are around the same size as them tho me and the biggest sibling are a bit bigger and the smaller ones are smaller but either way we can estimate our size thanks to this but either way we should probably avoid them even tho we are heavier and possibly stronger its not worth risking our life for a fight we can avoid¡­


    Day: 25


    U might be wondering what happened yesterday? Well these idiots which are supposedly my siblings they decided to fight the Acheroraptor and almost cost us our lives tho we won and feasted most of us were injured ofc u might be asking did I go save them like the ¡°heroic brother¡± I am suppose to be of course not I just left them to fight for themselves somehow they won but 1 was severely injured when 1 of the Acheroraptor bit them at the neck thankfully the other siblings helped out which caused the rest of the acheroraptors to decide this fight isnt worth the risk and ran which gave up around 3 corpses to eat so ofc when they were fighting I snuck up stealing 1 up and running away back to nest but unfortunately 1 of the siblings who saw me decided to follow and try to claim it as theres which when they were roaring I came up and mauled there neck which caused them to scream out and I kept mauling until I got thrown off which the sibling decided the fight wasnt worth it and ran which I ate the corpse ofc u might be saying why didnt I go on had a fair fight instead of pretty much sneak attacking but let me ask you this I dont know if this my last life or not and im not risking it would u let some dude get strong or fight when u could sneak attack and get it done quicker having less injuries if not none ofc I would do that¡­
