Reborn as a Snake! (1.) [REWRITE IN PROGRESS]

          The Scorpions mere presence made me shiver and shake in fear - unsure on what to do next. Should I run? But - I have nowhere to run. The exit is literally sealed off. Should I confront it and fight it? But this thing is a whole eight levels higher than me - surely that is a big difference!... right?

The monster shrieked again, before rushing at me and lifting its large pincers into the air, before smashing them against the ground where I stood - flinging me back against a wall, before suddenly rushing up to me and grabbing me in its right pincer, squeezing tightly - enough to cause me to bleed lightly - before smashing me into the wall and dragging me through it, before throwing me against a different wall, followed by firing off what I could only imagine were some kind of needles from a skill of sorts.

I hit the wall pretty hard, before quickly slithering out of the way just in time to dodge the incoming projectiles - before fleeing in fear around the room, as the massive monstrous creature chased after me.

I could feel fear just take over me at this point.
There was no way - no way - I could fight this thing. I mean - for starters, it is like ten times larger than me! How am I supposed to take on a creature that is way larger than me?! Then there is also the case of that bit of information within its stat page.

Agitated?
Fifteen percent bonus to its strength stat?

Is this some kind of a sick idea for a joke? If so, I am NOT laughing at all. No - one could say that I am PRAYING to some kind of god for someone to come and save me from this thing.

As I rushed away from the scorpion, I spotted a small crack in a wall that was in a more shadowed area of the room. I quickly slithered towards it and scurried inside of the crack, letting out a small sigh of relief. Then, the monster shattered the wall above me with its large pincers, forcing me to flee through the small tunnel inside of the crack, as the scorpion continued to tear apart the wall while trying to catch me.

It was a bloodpumping, terrifying experience - that made my entire body shudder with just pure fear and my blood to rush through my entire body like a jet engine. I felt like my blood was boiling underneath my skin - like it had become a fire that was burning inside of me that was just pushing me to keep going and not stop even for a moment if I valued my own life.

After a bit of fleeing deeper and deeper into this narrow and small tunnel, I leapt into a completely pitch black spot inside here, before curling up into a tight, tight ball - pressing my entire body against the cold and rough stone wall behind me, as the creature's destruction of the wall suddenly seized. It knocked away the dust cloud surrounding the now broken open wall, before peering inside it with its blood red eyes, looking around and searching, before it moved back and away towards the center of the room once more.

I was breathing heavily while remaining deep in my hiding spot, my eyes wide in shock and fear.

Common Skill [Presence Erase] has been learnt.

I...
I have no words to say. I managed to live... but only because the creature for some reason stopped its pursuit of me...

Why did it just walk away like that? Sure I was hiding in this pitch black spot in the strange small tunnel located just behind the wall of this dungeons room, but it wasn't like this small spot was the best hiding spot. If it looked just a little down, it would surely notice me... So why did it just stop?

Was it... Was it because of the new skill I just acquired?

Or learnt - Whatever the voice said.

"Well... Either way - it isn't like I am complaining about it leaving me alone."
