Kin of Jörmungandr

I am the strongest creature in these tunnels… at least, that’s what I believed until an incomprehensible horror ripped apart space itself and destroyed my territory. I am a serpent at the top of the food chain. A master at threading through the rifts of distorted space. So now that sapience forces its way into my mind, why am I facing so many problems? It is worse than the lack of proper challenge given by other predators of the warped tunnels in recent memory. No longer do I have a territory to waste away time; destroyed by a spaceless being. All I can do now, is search for an escape from the distorted caverns before the world collapses on them. Is there anything beyond? Will I find a challenge? I will have to see. What to Expect: - Snake protagonist. (non-human/non-humanoid. And will not gain a human form) - Inhuman mindset. (but not totally monstrous/evil) - Strong MC. (but emotionally inexperienced) - Progression. (but not the focus in the first book) - Spatial distortions and manipulation. (The snake swims through portals) Note: This is a project I’ve wanted to work on for a while now. A progression fantasy xenofiction following an actual monster gaining sapience, rather than a human reincarnating, which are much more common. I want to explore the truly inhuman mindset of a creature that is given the same breadth of emotions as people. This is not a story of blind action and slaughter (though there is some of that), this is a story focusing on the personal growth of a character that is by all definitions monstrous.  Cover Art by Misty (@lil_mistake): IG Fiverr Warning: The first chapter depicts the gruesome scene of a snake consuming live prey in excess detail. If this is too much for you, please turn away.
