Chapter 0001: Breaking Out of the Shell

A "tiny" figure emerged from its shell, carrying a transparent egg liquid. If one were to overlook the pair of drooping light golden wings on the chubby, plump body of this "tiny" infant, along with the golden tail on its backside and the small horns extending backward from its damp black hair, then this newborn, just arrived in this world, would not seem much different from an ordinary human infant

Everything he once fantasized about has truly turned into a fleeting illusion, with no possibility of realization left, for he is no longer human and is not even in the world he once knew.

"Very good, it has a handle." After finding what he wanted, Ye Tianrui felt even happier, as he had a fifty percent chance of being reborn as a girl after his reincarnation. He could not accept the idea of being reborn as a girl while carrying the memories of a staunch heterosexual man.

One must make a concerted effort; although my shell is somewhat unusually strong, it should be within the range that I can break through

Then Ye Tianrui, filled with reluctance and helplessness, admitted: "This is my tail"

He could still move a little before, but now he can hardly move at all. As his body grew to this extent, Ye Tianrui knew that the time for him to break out of his shell had come.

"My child, are you finally about to enter the world? I have been waiting for a long time." The enormous and majestic beast spoke in a gentle and warm female voice.

Moreover, Ye Tianrui recalled that in the documentaries he had watched, regardless of the type of oviparous creature, there was never a 100% hatching rate; there were always some dead eggs. Among them, some were the failures that could not break free from their shells. Those that could not hatch could only perish

"It is not the uterine wall." Ye Tianrui sighed slightly in disappointment and blew out a few bubbles

What is this? Ye Tianrui began to panic, as the sensations in his hands and the feelings coming from his body all indicated to him that this was a part of his body

He is feeling down again; just now he was fantasizing about the journey of life over the past twenty years since his birth, pretending to be a child prodigy, becoming an academic elite, and pursuing wealthy and beautiful women to reach the pinnacle of life

Because "I must have been reborn!" Ye Tianrui thought with great delight, he had once again been granted a life, and would embark on a new journey of life, carrying the memories of his previous life with him

Indeed, this is quite good; in this manner, it should perfectly harmonize with the bloodlines of both you and me. The golden giant beast revealed its snow-white fangs and emitted a voice that was strikingly gentle yet discordant.

Rather than using unfamiliar physical strength, it is better to utilize the limbs he has been using for fifteen years to break through, concentrating his power

This looks quite good. Standing beside the golden giant, the unusual baby with black hair and golden eyes revealed a radiant smile from the "man".

Ye Tianrui pressed his limbs against the wall of the egg, and as he exerted his strength, his fleshy body revealed slightly bulging muscles, showcasing a beauty of strength.

What have I become? This is the current confusion of Ye Tianrui. Thus, he struggles to control his body, making slight movements in this cramped and narrow space, trying to see what additional parts he has acquired in order to confirm his identity

He blankly raised his head, locking eyes with the golden giant that looked down at him with a gentle gaze. Then, with a dazed expression, he turned his head to look at the "man" beside the giant, who had black hair and golden eyes. His height and build were no less impressive than those of the massive beast.

If there are no scales, he can still deceive himself into believing that his body is exhibiting atavistic traits. However, no matter how much humans may regress, the human body cannot develop scales; at least, normal humans cannot.

Hey! When Ye Tianrui realized that he was inside an egg, the desire to break free filled his mind. His hands, feet, wings, and tail all exerted force together, aiming to shatter the shell that confined his body

"Why the hell are there still scales?" Ye Tianrui became even more flustered, his short hands repeatedly touching the long, whip-like object that had grown behind him.

As Ye Tianrui continued to exert himself, he gradually felt a sense of powerlessness; he was nearing exhaustion, yet Ye Tianrui still persevered, unwilling to give up

What truly made Ye Tianrui feel uncomfortable was the darkness before him and the cramped, narrow space; his body could not stretch out and could only curl up like an unborn baby.

I suppose, it seems, perhaps I am done for! In a bid to show off. " Ye Tianrui thought with a hint of sadness, yet he did not feel particularly sorrowful about his own death

Unborn baby

Then, his small hand touched the area below the shoulder blades on his back. "I still have a pair of wings." This time, Ye Tianrui accepted the fact that there were still a pair of wings on his back without any emotional fluctuations.

Under the gaze of four eyes, two dark golden and two bright golden, the pale golden egg began to tremble. Shortly thereafter, a fine crack appeared on the eggshell, and then this fine crack began to spread and divide, quickly covering the entire golden giant egg.

He did not know what consequences this failure to hatch would bring, but Ye Tianrui knew that his body had already grown to the limit that the egg could accommodate, and could not grow any further

Ye Tianrui habitually took a deep breath, but inhaled a belly full of egg liquid, which clogged his nasal passages. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, no longer hesitating, and utilized the strength of his familiar limbs, while his wings and tail remained motionless

I have been reborn, but I have transformed into an aberration with a tail, and I am no longer human. Ye Tianrui began to feel melancholic again, as the scales on his tail shattered his last shred of hope

If one only listens to the sound, it would evoke the image of a dignified and virtuous noble lady, and it would be impossible to associate it with this golden behemoth that exudes an aura of terror

"Life or death, choose one." Ye Tianrui growled in frustration, "I have been reborn not to experience life within a shell."

Ye Tianrui's body stiffened. In a flash, he suddenly recalled the events that occurred before he regained consciousness, and then connected them to his current situation of being submerged in an unknown liquid, where he did not need to breathe.

Ye Tianrui's attempt to break free from his shell failed, leaving his egg without a single crack. However, it did cause his long-dormant egg to shake, successfully attracting the golden giant beast that was guarding beside it.

The strength is still insufficient! I have not yet reached the time of my birth. When Ye Tianrui exerted all his strength but could not shake the hard shell that bound his body, he realized that his physical development was still inadequate

Yes, Ye Tianrui is now unable to breathe a single breath of air, as he is enveloped in a viscous liquid. Initially, when he realized this and the situation depicted in the - picture - book, he felt a deep sense of panic and unease. However, he soon discovered that the lack of air seemed to have no effect on him.

These slightly viscous liquids did not cause Ye Tianrui any discomfort; on the contrary, being immersed in the liquid made him feel as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring

After all, he is no longer human; no matter what happens to his body, he can accept it. Moreover, what difference does it make if he does not accept it? Should he try suicide to see if he can be reborn once more?

Ye Tianrui lay on a blue-purple crystal that was concave in the middle, surrounded by shattered golden eggshells, with thick egg fluid continuously dripping from his body

Feeling exhausted and drowsy, Ye Tianrui decided to take a nap, planning to try again after waking up. As he yawned, his body weary and fatigued, he began to feel drowsy. The intense mental activity and the effort of breaking free drained a significant amount of his energy, leading him to a state of quietude, ultimately falling into a deep sleep.

With a mouthful of perfectly white teeth clenched tightly, Ye Tianrui felt as if he had exerted all the strength he had from his previous life, yet the eggshell remained as solid as ever, showing no signs of breaking.

In a state of confusion, Ye Tianrui awoke once again, confronted by the same darkness as always. During this period of slumber, his body had grown larger, and the space within the eggshell had become even more cramped, tightly constraining his form.

"Um, wait a moment, one must have certain physical attributes to flirt with girls," Ye Tianrui thought lewdly, then he exerted effort to move his short hands and reached between his legs to confirm his gender

Ye Tianrui's fleshy palm touched the shell that constrained his body's movement, and instead of the expected soft, fleshy sensation, he felt only a slightly curved, metallic hardness.

Perhaps it was due to Ye Tianrui's anger, or perhaps it was because of his persistence, that a crisp sound, akin to heavenly music in Ye Tianrui's ears, resonated as the eggshell shattered

"In this lifetime, I can still pretend to be a prodigy, become a top student, and then, with my excellent grades, I can attract the beautiful girls at school..." Ye Tianrui happily envisioned his life after birth

Just as Ye Tianrui confirmed his male characteristics, his small hand inadvertently touched a long, whip-like object

"I have hands and feet, I am definitely a humanoid creature. So, what exactly have I become?" Ye Tianrui was very puzzled; in his memory, there was no creature that matched this description.

This is an eggshell, I am not a viviparous organism, but an oviparous one. Ye Tianrui was confused; what exactly had he been reborn as? Shouldn't humanoid beings be viviparous? Why was he not in the womb of a humanoid organism, but instead inside a hard eggshell?

Sorrow, darkness, oppression, congestion, narrowness—these were the first sensations that Ye Tianrui experienced upon regaining consciousness. He felt as if he had been stuffed into a can filled with liquid

The colossal beast raised its slender and elongated neck, and on its head, covered with fine golden scales, dark golden vertical pupils opened, gazing at the already motionless egg

Ye Tianrui is not that foolish; only those who have died once truly understand the value of life. The saying that a good death is not as good as a miserable life has always made a lot of sense to him

The already asleep Ye Tianrui naturally does not know that his 'mother' has been guarding his egg, eagerly anticipating his hatching.

The only thing I can be certain of is that I am definitely not on Earth; a humanoid being with wings and a tail can only be a creature of fantasy, Ye Tianrui pondered to himself
