I Have Become a Death Worm

1 - Calamity of the Desert



Sssshhhhhhh…
A sensation as fine as silk, a sound as soft as parting through satin.
So cozy that it felt like he could sink into it forever.
The man swam through the sea of sand with familiarity.
‘I’m sleepy…’
A snow-white, elongated, sinuous body.
Rocks attached to various parts of his body like barnacles.
Sharp teeth that could pulverize even steel into dust.
A massive body reaching a length of 50 meters.
Truly the living proof of evolution and survival in the Shahar Great Desert, a dominator exerting powerful authority and ferocity over all creatures in the region.
An invincible being that nothing could approach in his territory.
He is an albino Death Worm, one of the four great rulers dominating the vast desert.
The man swimming through the desert yawned languidly.
“Shuuuuuu…!”
Indeed, sleeping on the living room floor isn’t a good idea.
To be experiencing such a dreamy vision?
It was still too hot during midday for early autumn.
His body naturally felt languid and drowsy.
‘This won’t do. I’m too tired, I should go to bed and sleep.’
The moment he thought that.
The dream would soon end, and reality would be perceived.
The man began to fully recognize his body.
‘Huh?’
He was so startled he nearly had a heart attack.
The 50-meter massive body gradually rises to the surface.
The tightly interlocked circular teeth open.
“Shluuuurp…!”
Bitter-tasting sand and hard, rough stone fragments pour out from the widely opened mouth.
Pores all over his body, normally closed, opened wide.
Fuuuuuuuush─────!
Like a whale swimming in the ocean, the albino Death Worm sprayed out the sand it had sucked in.
All other impurities in its body were expelled as well.
Pssshhhhh-!
Streams of sand under tremendous pressure and iron-hard internal stones rained around.
The sand streams could pierce through castle walls, and the stones were comparable to artillery shells.
From an outside perspective, it looked like a hybrid of a train and a whale.
Actions filled with obvious confusion and fear.
The man was engulfed in profound doubt.
‘Why am I a Death Worm?’
