Blue Star; AD 1941; On Skull Island in the Pacific Ocean.
Warm golden sunlight filtered through the gaps in the forest canopy, casting bright patches of light and shadow onto the forest floor.
On the ground illuminated by these patches, a Purple-striped Snake about one meter long, its body covered in purple patterns, emerged from the withered leaves.
The snake’s eyes looked at the surrounding environment in a daze and shock, then looked at itself, filled with utter disbelief.
Soon, the snake’s mouth opened as if it wanted to speak, but the resulting flick of its tongue could only produce a ‘hissing’ sound.
The eyes of this snake appeared entirely human-like, not resembling a snake’s at all, but rather a person’s.
This was because the Soul and consciousness within this snake were currently those of a human.
“How did I become a snake?!” Gale widened his snake eyes.
He looked at the unfamiliar dense forest environment and his own meter-long Purple-striped Snake body with disbelief.
He clearly remembered that he was sleeping just a moment ago; how could the world have changed so drastically, and everything be so different upon waking up?
He had even become a snake.
Gale suspected he might be dreaming, so he turned his snake head around and bit his own tail.
“Hiss—!” A sharp pain instantly surged from his tail, striking deep into his Soul.
It hurt.
This wasn’t a dream.
He really had become a snake!
Just then, a pale blue electronic light screen slowly emerged before Gale’s eyes.
—— Name: Gale; Species: Purple-striped Snake; Ability: Devour; Life Level: Ordinary Life; Evolution Progress: 0% [100% remaining until the next Life Level evolution].
—— “This is!” Seeing the information appearing on the pale blue electronic screen, Gale, who was already shocked by his sudden transformation into a snake, felt his pupils contract violently again.
He was familiar with this information panel.
Wasn’t this the panel from that trashy [classic of mountains and seas: exotic beasts] game he had just been complaining about before transmigrating?
How did this thing show up too?
Just as Gale was in a state of shock and confusion…
A surge of unfamiliar information suddenly flooded into Gale’s Soul and consciousness.
After digesting this influx of information, Gale finally understood his current situation, environment, and everything else.
He had transmigrated, Transmigrated into the monsterverse world of the movie ‘Godzilla vs.
Kong’.
The place where Gale was currently located was none other than Skull Island, where the handsome Kong resided.
The timeline was 1941 in this world, 32 years before the events of ‘Kong: Skull Island’ in 1973.
The transmigrated Gale had now become a snake on Skull Island.
However, he had transmigrated with a Golden Finger—the [Mountains and Seas Beast System]!
The Golden Finger’s effect was simple and crude: it gave him the [Devour] ability.
By devouring, he could increase his evolution progress and grow stronger.
Now, Gale could evolve himself by consuming and devouring any edible food to increase his [Evolution Progress].
Once his [Evolution Progress] reached 100%, he could complete an ultimate evolution of his life level.
This was exactly the ability from that trashy [classic of mountains and seas: exotic beasts] game Gale had complained about before transmigrating.
But complaining aside…
Possessing this game ability after transmigrating was undoubtedly Gale’s greatest reliance for survival in this world, and perhaps even his means to stand at the top of the world in the future.
One must know that in this monsterverse of ‘Godzilla vs.
Kong’, the Titan behemoths were the protagonists and the peak combat power of this world.
With the [Mountains and Seas Beast System], Gale held the key to evolving into a Titan, or even surpassing the level of a Titan.
Although Gale was currently just a small, one-meter-long snake, As long as he was given time, his future held infinite possibilities.
“In that case, not being human isn’t so bad.” After digesting the information and clarifying the situation, Gale’s emotions stabilized, and he even felt a bit happy.
After all, he had already been a human.
But becoming a snake with a Golden Finger that allowed for evolution—this was a first.
Therefore, his next goal was to constantly devour and evolve.
And this process had to be fast.
Because this was a world of giant monsters, and his current location was Skull Island.
The dangers of Skull Island went without saying.
Not to mention the most terrifying Skullcrawlers, even other monsters weaker than them could easily kill the current Gale if they just showed up.
To put it bluntly, the current Gale’s combat power on Skull Island belonged to the bottom tier.
The top tier, needless to say, was definitely the handsome Kong and the Skullcrawlers.
However, it was only 1941, 32 years before the plot of ‘Kong: Skull Island’ officially began in 1973.
He just didn’t know what the specific situation on Skull Island was like right now.
But these weren’t things Gale needed to overthink at the moment.
For the current Gale, evolving as quickly as possible was the priority.
—— “Rustle…
Rustle…” Accompanied by the faint sound of a serpentine creature crawling, Gale wiggled his purple snake body and began to crawl slowly forward through the dense forest.
Gale was very careful all the way, his vision and senses constantly and cautiously alert to his surroundings.
Because Gale knew that Skull Island was absolutely full of hidden dangers.
Especially since his current strength was still very weak; if he wasn’t constantly alert and careful, he might suddenly die in the next moment.
He even chose to take detours whenever he found ground covered in excessively thick leaves.
Because under the cover of those thick leaves, dangers might be lurking.
It couldn’t be helped; the current Gale was simply too weak, being just a small snake about a meter long.
With this size on Skull Island, he was truly at the bottom of the food chain, and there were far too many creatures that could threaten him.
Gale had no choice but to be cautious.
The current Gale could almost be described by one phrase: Walking on thin ice.
After crawling like this for more than an hour, Gale finally discovered a suitable prey.
It was a rat about the size of a fist, lowering its head to eat food on the ground.
Behind the rat was a burrow with freshly dug soil next to it, clearly the rat’s nest.
I must kill it in one strike.
Having observed the situation, Gale instantly realized this.
He had to kill this rat in one blow; otherwise, once it escaped into its burrow, he would likely lose his chance.
Gale immediately and cautiously hid his form, slowly approaching from behind the rat.
The rat was also very alert; although it was eating, its eyes were constantly and warily scanning the surroundings, looking left and right from time to time.
Gale carefully used the grass and leaves on the ground as cover and was not discovered by the rat.
In this way, Gale successfully sneaked to a position about a meter or so away from the rat.
At this moment, the rat also seemed to sense danger; it suddenly stopped eating, raised its head, and began to look around warily.
Gale knew he had to launch his attack now; if he got any closer, the rat would definitely notice.
And so, in the next instant— “Whoosh!” Gale burst forth with all his strength, his entire snake body instantly shooting out like an arrow from a bow, pouncing toward the rat.
“Squeak—” The rat also instantly discovered Gale rushing from behind; it let out a terrified squeak and kicked its legs to flee, but it was already too late.
Gale bit into the rat’s back and then instantly wrapped his entire body around it, activating his innate skill.
