reincarnated as a chicken in another world

The blue screen in front of him still hovered in the air, glowing softly. His tiny chicken eyes darted back and forth, reading the words again.

[Welcome to the Dragon System! You are now a proud host of the legendary draconic bloodline.]

[Current Form: Chicken]

He blinked. Nope, still there.

"…No. No, no, no. This has to be a joke."

He flapped his wings—yep, still tiny and useless. He tried to clench his fists, but all he got were little clawed feet twitching in the dirt.

"WHY A CHICKEN?!"

If he really got reincarnated, shouldn't he have become something powerful? A dragon? A demon? Even a wolf or a tiger would have been cool! But a chicken? How was that fair?!

He paced in frantic circles, his tiny bird brain struggling to keep up.

"Okay, okay. Let's think. I was in my room… I was on my way on win streak… and then I felt dizzy…" His beady chicken eyes widened. "Did I die from gaming too hard?! Is that how I went out?! That's so lame!"

He wanted to scream, but all that came out was—

"Bwak!!"

Just as he was about to spiral into despair, the bushes nearby rustled.

His feathery body froze.

A long, slithering sound echoed through the grass. Something big was moving. Something hungry.

And then—BOOM!

A massive snake burst out from the foliage, its scales glistening in the sunlight, its forked tongue flickering. Its eyes locked onto him like he was a snack.

[Mid-Tier Danger Beast: Venomfang Python]

[Threat Level: Moderate]

The system's words flashed in front of him, but he barely had time to process them.

"HOLY SH—"

The snake lunged.

He bolted.

His tiny chicken legs moved. Faster than he thought possible, his body practically gliding across the dirt. The snake hissed and gave chase, but somehow, he kept just ahead of it.

"Shit, shit, shit—WHERE AM I EVEN GOING?!"

Everything was a blur of trees and tall grass as he sprinted for dear life. The snake struck again, barely missing his tail feathers.

He zigzagged, flapping his useless wings for extra speed. Luckily, chicken legs were BUILT for running.

The chase went on for what felt like an eternity—at least for him.

Then, suddenly—

[Survival Bonus: You have lasted against a Mid-Tier Beast for over 3 minutes!]

[Reward: Egg Bomb obtained!]

A glowing item appeared in his inventory.

"Wait… what the hell is an Egg Bomb?!"
