reincarnated as a chicken in another world

The tiny chicken stood on a rock, eyes gleaming with determination.

He was one level away from evolution.

Just. One. More. Kill.

His beady eyes scanned the battlefield. The bait strategy had worked too well—there were no more monsters left to bomb.

"Damn it… I wiped out the entire local ecosystem."

Now, he had to find fresh prey.

With a dramatic flap of his tiny wings, he took off running into the forest. His Avian Agility made him unnaturally fast, and in minutes, he spotted something in the distance.

A shadowy figure crouched near a tree, sniffing the air.

[Shadowfang Panther – Mid-Tier Beast]

[Threat Level: Moderate]

He gulped. This was much stronger than the last monsters he bombed.

Its sleek black fur blended into the darkness, and its razor-sharp claws gleamed under the moonlight.

"Okay, okay… Stay calm. I just need one more kill. I got this."

Step One: Bait the Target

He hopped into the open and let out a loud, obnoxious:

"BWAK! BWAK!! COME EAT ME, YOU OVERRATED HOUSECAT!"

The panther's ears twitched.

It slowly turned, its glowing yellow eyes locking onto him.

Then—it moved.

No, it vanished.

"…Huh?"

FWOOOSH!

A blur of black rushed straight at him, closing the distance in seconds.

His tiny chicken brain screamed in terror.

"OH SHIT, IT'S FAST—"

Step Two: Panic and Run

He sprinted for his life, legs moving so fast they became a blur.

The panther chased him down effortlessly, closing in fast.

His feathers ruffled in terror.

"WHY IS THIS THING BUILT LIKE A SPORTS CAR?!"

He barely dodged a swipe from its claws, feeling the wind pressure cut through the air.

If that hit him, he'd be fried chicken!

Step Three: The Counterattack

His mind raced. Egg Bombs take three seconds to explode.

Too slow.

Then, he remembered his new skill—

Egg Trap!

Without looking back, he dropped an Egg Trap mid-run.

The moment the panther's paw stepped on it—

BOOOOM!

The explosion sent the beast flying, rolling across the ground.

His system notification popped up.

[EXP Gained! You have defeated a Mid-Tier Beast: Shadowfang Panther!]

[LEVEL UP! You are now Level 5!]

He froze.

The world seemed to slow down as a golden light surrounded his body.

His heart—tiny chicken heart—pounded with excitement.

It was finally happening.

EVOLUTION.
