Slithering through dreams (Snake Isekai ?)

I was surprised, and hurt seeing mother running away 

(“She’s scared of us now!”)
(“She’s just confused, will come back later”)

One thing was for certain- I had to find a way of dealing with this, and find it fast. Every time someone went in I had a feeling of some invisible skills of mine being tested… And I wasn’t sure it would last. It was especially bad with mother, when Gecko was in control it felt as if I could wrestle back control after a while, here all my attempts at controlling my body ended up failing… though I ended up moving her body in pain instead.

Not all is bad however...

It happened when I was fighting gecko as well- it seems that I learn skills that are used by my opponents during our fights! (“An OP skill has come!”) (“A troublesome skill has come…”) (“Ssss!”). It does make sense, after all I experience everything needed to use it in my own body. It would take multiple possessions for me to learn 1 skill, but this seed, together with memory of the event, might be enough to finish developing it myself. Especially since this skill seems to have somehow blocked her from reacting to the pain echoes it caused.

I got depressed. (“Don’t worry, be ssss!”) (“It’s over for me”) (“I need a plan”)

Indeed, I need a plan. But what can I do? *Grrrowlll* (“weren’t we hungry?”)

Yeah wait, what about the gecko! I ran towards where I left my hard earned meal! (“Decaying bacteria?”) Fuck it, snake stomach power! Hopefully… (“are you worried about indigestion? Snake venom! Kills 99% of bacteria in your gecko!”

I ran to the lake. It was still there! Looking less fresh than before… surprisingly no insects trying to eat it. Wait, with my current size, wouldn’t an insect be half its size?

Well, time to eat! I open my mouth and… 

And fail to open my mouth wide enough. The most I could fit in was its snout. (“Why are we no longer disgusted by this?”) (“Not what you think about it… we are!”). Now that I’m closer, the outside skin, slowly rotting.. Stinky… My tongue is crawling, refusing to touch it again.

But I’m soo hungry… (“Let’s leave it”) (“New hunt?”) (“Or I can try eating its insides?”)

And so i tried. Shredding bite here, shredding bite there and.. Hmm so that’s how gecko heart looks like.

Nom nom nom nom. An evil bloodied snake is here mwahahaha!

Suddenly, I felt someone looking at me. Noone was there… Wait. What happens with nocturnal fish at day?

I came closer to the shore, blood still dripping from my mouth. (“Bloody noodle”)

With my mind sense I could feel them, not exactly sleeping but not awake either. A bit wary of me, but still, a simple snake. It seems that my ability to fight off outside influences depends on the distance and enemies mental strength, so wouldn’t a sleeping fish be a perfect practice for my skills? 

Also, I’m bored of running away. It’s time to go on the offense, the snake way... I casually slithered closer, pretending to not be interested with what’s happening, just wanting to sunbathe on this rock!

Damn, I wanted to write more but I went to take a nap after previous chapter... 8 hours nap. Goodbye my normal sleeping schedule!
