The Egg Is Born

In darkness and haze, Roy seemed to have had a very, very long dream.

The dream felt bizarre and absurd, and the reason for using "felt" was that the moment a tremor passed, the dream immediately dissipated.

Roy woke up. The instant he woke up, the dream he had before was immediately forgotten; he couldn't recall its content at all.

Upon waking, Roy felt that his surroundings were a bit off. He felt his entire body had shrunk into a ball, trapped in a small space filled with a fishy-smelling liquid, which was even a bit viscous.

There was no light around, so Roy had no idea what was happening. Driven by an instinctive fear of the dark, he subconsciously wanted to cry out, but he almost choked to death on the liquid he inhaled.

Like drowning, Roy flailed his hands in panic, and his hands suddenly touched something. It seemed to be a 'wall'. Reaching out to touch it, it felt somewhat thin and had a warm temperature.

Without time to think too much, after touching this 'wall', Roy instinctively reached out to smash it. But after his fist hit it, he realized something was wrong. His strength seemed to have decreased significantly, and even his body felt strange.

Fortunately, after smashing it a few times, the 'wall' was finally broken. A cracking sound was heard, and cracks appeared in the wall. Through the cracks, a faint light emanated.

"Useful!" Roy's spirits immediately lifted, and he continued to smash.

When he finally smashed a piece of the wall open, creating an opening, the viscous liquid that had surrounded him finally found an outlet and rushed out. The outside air flowed in, allowing Roy to finally satisfy his instinct to breathe. He took a long breath, and the fullness in his lungs gave him a sense of relief, "Finally saved."

However, after exhaling, Roy was startled by the strange cry he made. Perhaps it was because his vocal cords hadn't vibrated for a long time, but the sound he made was like this:

"Ying~~"

"Holy crap! I didn't turn into a Yingying Monster, did I!"

Roy complained to himself, then quickly pried open the rest of the cracked 'wall', making the opening larger. He then grabbed the edge and squeezed his body through the opening.

The moment he got out, Roy looked up and saw the sky outside, and then he was stunned!

A purple... moon!?

Stunned, Roy finally confirmed that the crescent moon hanging in the sky, emitting a purple glow, was indeed a crescent moon. He nervously lowered his head and looked at where he had just emerged from.

"Damn Wang Dachui, it's over! It's really an egg!"

Actually, when he emerged just now, Roy had a bad premonition. Now that he realized he had truly come out of a black egg, Roy felt his worldview shattered and that he would never love again.

He had actually become oviparous...

"Hello everyone, please call me Egg Birth from now on, Roy Egg Birth..."

After trying to find humor in the grim situation, Roy stretched out his hands. As expected, his human hands, which should have had some calluses, were now baby-sized palms. His skin was not only a strange dark red but also had some strange black patterns. His nails were sharp, and his feet were claw-like.

He reached up to touch his face, eyes, nose, and mouth – they were all still there. However, there seemed to be two bumps on his forehead. Could these be a pair of horns?

He then felt behind him and discovered a black arrow-shaped tail...

"Damn it, what kind of monster have I become? If only I had a mirror..."

At this very moment, Roy suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he quickly looked down at his crotch. He finally let out a long sigh of relief.

My precious!

Although I wasn't wearing pants and it felt a bit chilly, as long as you're still here, the sun will shine!

Thank goodness! My gender hasn't changed. Otherwise, I would have really messed up. Putting aside my twenty-plus years of memories as a straight man when I was human, just looking at my current oviparous state, if I had truly turned into a female body, would that mean I'd have to lay an egg to reproduce in the future?! That image alone was...

Shaking his head, Roy banished these creepy thoughts from his mind. Still a bit groggy, he began to sort through the memories in his head.

There wasn't much to say about Roy's previous life. He was a laid-back young man who grew up in a peaceful era. After graduating from university, he worked hard in a big city, all to pay off his hefty mortgage. His biggest hobbies were playing games, reading novels, and watching anime. When his finances allowed, he would occasionally go out for drinks and skewers with friends, using the opportunity to post envy-inducing photos on social media late at night. He was very good at finding joy amidst hardship. His tentative life goal was to make the 120-square-meter apartment that burdened him with debt worth the price, and to entice a woman to share the mortgage payments with him...

Thinking back, Roy was actually quite ordinary. If there was anything worth mentioning, it was probably the last fragment of memory.

Roy remembered that he seemed to have saved a mother and child. It happened at a crosswalk when a rascal next to him was walking while playing a mobile game. His mother was scolding him while holding his arm, so she didn't pay attention to the traffic. Just then, a car, possibly drunk driving, swerved and ran a red light. Roy noticed it. He had a chance to dodge, but the mother and child, who weren't watching the road, might not have. Roy didn't know what he was thinking at the time; on impulse, he stopped and pushed the mother and child backward. Immediately, a tremendous force hit him, and he felt his entire body spinning into the air...

With his memories returning to this point, Roy understood. He had probably been hit and killed. As for why he appeared in this bizarre place and transformed into a strange creature, did he even need to think about it? He had been reborn!

For young people nowadays, if you don't know terms like rebirth or transmigration, you'd be too embarrassed to chat with others...

Roy didn't regret sacrificing himself to save others. Who thinks too much when saving someone? One might live an ordinary life for many years, but having just one brilliant moment is enough.

The only pity was that his parents would be very sad... Thinking of this, Roy's entire demeanor turned somber...

After mourning his past life for a while, Roy let out a sigh. His memorial complete, he adjusted his mindset and looked up to survey his surroundings.

However, upon seeing it, he was somewhat bewildered.

The place he was in seemed to be a beach. But unlike the beaches he remembered under a blue sky and white clouds, the sea sand here was black-red. The grains were large, like red-hot coal particles that had been doused with water. Not only did it emit wisps of smoke, but it also caused the surrounding air to be filled with a scorching sensation. The further forward it extended, the more red "sea sand" there was. Conversely, the closer to the sea, the more black "sea sand" there was.

This sea sand seemed to be formed from fresh magma. Heat and humidity were the defining characteristics of this beach. What was astonishing was that on this beach, there wasn't just the single egg from which Roy had hatched, but tens of thousands of them!

These eggs varied in size, but were at least as large as ostrich eggs. Their colors were also different: black, red, purple, and silver. The only commonality was that all the eggs were lying quietly on the sand. The humid and hot environment of the beach provided the eggs with a suitable temperature, promoting their hatching.

This seemed to be a natural incubator... So where did all these eggs come from?

Roy turned his head to look behind him. At the edge of the beach, waves were crashing onto the shore. Under the moonlight, the color of the seawater was deeply unsettling because it was blood-red!

Eggs of various sizes and colors floated on this blood-red seawater. Driven by the tides, they were pushed towards the beach by the waves. It was a peculiar sight, and Roy finally understood how he had appeared on this beach.

The force of each wave was not constant; sometimes it was strong, sometimes weak. This caused some eggs to be pushed further and others closer to the shore.

Near the sea, the magma sea sand was quickly cooled by the seawater. Further from the sea, it could maintain its temperature for a longer period. This naturally led to differences in the hatching speed of the eggs. Roy could see that in the warmer areas in front of him, many eggs were stirring and shaking. In the cooler areas behind him, many eggs were deathly still.

Here, luck had become a part of nature's struggle for survival, a cruel and chilling reality. In fact, being pushed onto the beach by the waves was already considered luckier for an egg. Roy even saw some eggs, before they even landed, collide with each other, their shells cracking, causing the liquid inside to flow into the sea!

It was easy to imagine that these were the truly unlucky ones! The creatures inside didn't even have a chance to hatch...

Seeing this, Roy couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, the egg he was in had successfully landed on the shore. Otherwise, he might have become one of those unlucky ones too?

This ocean, this beach, and the bizarre scene before him were all causing Roy to frantically question himself. What the hell kind of place had he arrived at!? This oppressive and cruel environment gave Roy an increasingly ominous premonition.

Also, what should he do next? It had been twenty to thirty minutes since he emerged from the eggshell, and he had observed his surroundings quite thoroughly. However, Roy was at a loss as to where to go next.

Just then, a loud rumbling sound of stomach growling echoed, and the source of this sound was Roy himself.

He was hungry... and ravenously hungry!
