Orochi Yamata/Chronology

## Preliminary Arc

### World War III

Before he was reincarnated, he was drafted into World War III. He, and hundreds of others, were sent off to an island where the battlefield took place, the island was invaded by the enemy and it was their job to reclaim it. Before he even setting foot on the island, he and his comrades were met with a rain of bullets, to which he used his ally to shield him from the assault. Shocked at what he himself had done, he froze, but was quickly broken out of it when his squad captain ordered him to advance on the enemy. Through the rush and confusion, he had realized that he didn't have a rifle on him. He quickly grabbed a gun off of a dead soldier as it was covered in blood and sand; the first shot he took was a head shot, but as he was chambering for another round, the gun jammed due to the sands. As he was preoccupied with his gun, a grenade flashed past his face and with no hesitation he layed on top of it, telling his comrades to take cover when another grenade flew past him. He grabbed that and placed it under his body, adding to the pile. when the grenades went off, his guts were filled with metal.

It was then that the Voice of the World came and announced his reincarnation, although he hadn't heard it. Upon reincarnation he obtained the Extra Skills Sage, Guiding Light, Thermal Regulation; the Common Skills Fearlessness, Meditation, Iron Stomach; and Resistance Skills Poison Nullification and Magic Resistance, with no Unique Skills to speak off due to his lack of strong desires.

### Sealed Cave

Orochi's odyssey begins peacefully enough. Most of his memories are intact, but he's unaware of where he is because he's surrounded by an eggshell. It didn't take him long to break out, and chaos ensues; things go from peaceful enough to extremely violent. It takes him a second to realize that the surrounding snakes were his brothers and sisters, and that he is a snake himself. The mother is indiscriminately stomping on her young, and her siblings are even feeding on each other. Orochi quickly runs away from the carnage and activates his very first skill─Sage─between the carnage that ensued. Orochi is determined to not die from the very outset of his new life.

He comes across the body of one of his siblings in the caves. In the same area, he also discovers a human footprint and the first reference to his size and Mother is made: he is about a meter long and mother is about 30 meters long. He was so famished that he eats it on the spot after a tiny amount of hesitation. Later in the cave, Orochi wakes up to see a giant spider monster and tries to run away, but his tail got caught in its webs and he was bitten off by the spider. With Sage activated, he had more time to think, and with Fearlessness he was cool as a cucumber, allowing him to decide if it was better to run or to fight. As hunger took over his mind, he decided to fight the spider. That was when the Extra Skill Guiding Light had activated, the green orbs of light showed where he should attack, while the red orbs of light showed where the enemy would attack and where he should dodge. All of that in conjunction, allowed him to kill the spider fairly easily. After the spider had fallen and he went to feed on it, he used his Intrinsic Skill Body Shedding to heal the injuries he sustained.

He unknowingly spent the next six months wandering through the cave, and following the directions of Guiding Light to the way out of the cave. It only took a long time because Guiding Light was finding ways to avoid Veldora, as Orochi's instincts as a monster, knew the dangers getting near him represented, which had subconsciously influenced the skill in that regard.
