Slithering through dreams (Snake Isekai ?)

First, was the movement. This wasn’t that hard.

“It hurts!” “Yes, yes it does, doesn’t it?” 

I looked at my movements, I saw with the insect's eyes. For the first time I not only understood, but FELT the hopelessness of the  “law of the jungle”. Here “I” was, an insect, with my primitive eyes, barely able to see but a smudge, expected to somehow survive? No! The cruel gods, or the amoral evolution didn’t give a shit about my survival! As long as enough seeds spread, the next generation will be born. No one cares, because there is no one to care. Just cold statistical reality.

“But I’m not THE insect?” “Are we all not insects in the eyes of those above us?” 

And the pain. The pain. “I think I am feeling the pain of being bitten by .. what did I call it again “Noodle Snout?” “Yes, I did, also fuck You ARGH It HURTS”. I felt phantom pain in my flower.

“You.. I? i will love this part! After all, it was my favorite!” - as part of the cruelty of nature, just to increase chances of survival by the smallest percentage, this poor beetle survived. It survived being biten, and poisoned, for a few more seconds. It couldn’t move. It could only feel pain, of being slowly digested.

SSssssSSssssss sSsssss SSsssSSsssSssss ssss

I could only slither in pain. On the periphery I could feel someone's emotions, coming from outside the shell, but they were drowned out by the most primal thoughts of death.

I could not go on. Yes you could you coward, go on. Ssssssshit. Auuuu

I rolled myself into a ball. The emotions and pain replaying itself. My mind paralysed with fear. Hope extinguished, sense of impending doom feeling my guts…. It’s over. It’s all over. Shit. 

I could hear my heart beating faster and faster. “You know, it’s not the heights that kill people.. it’s the sudden stop on the fall down”.

I didn’t notice that in my writhing, I nearly completely moved out of my shell. This time however, instead of usual telepathic nonsense, I felt a skill activate. 

Instead of all the thoughts, I now felt my siblings. And in the distance, I could feel other beings like us. Something, somewhere, connecting us. And the knowledge. I remembered how my mother tried to feed me. And how she protected us at all times. And that I am not alone. I am a snake. I may lie, I may connive, and I may run away when needed. But I. WILL. SURVIVE.

If you have an idea for a better badass ending / some badass addition to the monologue, feel free to comment, and I might add it :)
