Sobek already had 26,000 experience points, but he needed 90,000 to level up. Staying in the vicinity of the oxalaias' nest he could have obtained several new points in just a few days, but when he returned to their islet he found that the oxalaias were already gone.

Unfortunately, what he had feared had happened: feeling in danger, the oxalaias had taken their cubs and ran away all together. Sobek had done his best to not frightening them, but the arrival of the poachers had changed everything. While humans would most likely never return, at least not for a long time, the oxalaias had no way of knowing this, and no animal would have remained in a place where it felt in danger.

The oxalaias had a head start of at least three hours and the water helped them to hide their smell. Sobek could track an aquatic animal, but only when it was stationary; there was no way to follow them if they were on the move and had hours of advantage. His nose was certainly not as powerful as the one of a t-

    Sobek's journey was rather slow. Certainly not for the long road: since he could now reach 170 km/h, if he wanted to he could cover the distance that separated him from humans in less than five hours.The fact was that he wanted to thoroughly clean up every stretch of the river he passed through of all available fishes. That way he could level up and keep growing as he traveled. The preys in the river wasn't as abundant as in the swamp, but still they provided him a good amount.On the first day, he had covered 100 kilometers and gained 53,000 experience points. The second day he had covered another 130 kilometers and gained 66,000 experience points. He had therefore managed to cover abundantly the 100,000 experience points required to level up, reaching level 17.At 17 meters long and 5.7 meters high he was already the largest spinosaurus ever found in nature and probably also the biggest ever existed even in the zoos. However, as they used to say, the bigger, the better: he planned t

    "Darius, how would you classify the animals on our right?"A blue and white boat about thirty meters long was moving placidly on the river. Above it was a group of at least fifty people, most of whom clustered along the right side of the boat.The person who had asked the question was a woman in her thirties, still very handsome and with a youthful and energetic appearance. She had brown hair combed in a tuft and wore a very large white jumpsuit, suitable for repelling the sun's rays. The other passengers, except for the ship's crew, were dressed more casually, even if many of them seemed to be beginning to regret their stylistic choice because of the heat; none of them seemed to be over twenty.The guy named Darius was a rather short, very skinny in build dark-skinned guy. He was looking at the herd of dinosaurs ahead of them, placid herbivores with a large crest on their backs and a duck's beak. After a short wait he gave his answer."I would say ouranosaurs, professor. A rare specie

    Sobek's awakening hadn't been the best. At some point his sharpest hearing began to perceive a loud shouting. Because of this, he had gone from restless sleep to half-sleep, and from half-sleep to full awakening. And first of all, as soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself in front of the undoubted silhouette of a boat.Immediately he had panicked, thinking that they were other poachers, but he had quickly rejected that idea: no poacher would have ever used such a flashy and easily traceable boat. It was clear that whoever was on that boat wasn't doing anything morally questionable."Rest assured and lower your voice! If we talk too loud we could irritate it!" a brown-haired woman on the edge of the ship said. "Spinosaurs don't have very strong hearing and smell, but they are still quite sensitive to noise. Do you see those holes in the back of the head? They are its ears. The sounds enter from them and reach the eardrum, which amplifies the frequency and..."Okay, there are two c

  • I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army   Starting the evolution

    The university published the article the next day. Many people, thanks to the power of social networks, already knew of the existence of the spinosaurus, but when the news ended up in the scientific gazettes even the 'old school' part of the scientific world became aware of it.The discovery of that spinosaurus that had broken all previous records inflamed scientists and biologists around the world. It has been known for some time that spinosaurs could reach 17 meters, but it had never been imagined that this record could be broken and that this animal even could appear in nature. Yet, after careful analysis of the photos taken and the videos shot, the experts could only agree with Jamie's measurements: the spinosaurus measured at least 18 meters.In a flash, infinite hypotheses were speculated on the enormous dimensions reached by the animal. Some thought of some form of gigantism, others hypothesized bone diseases that accelerated its growth. However, the most agreed with Jamie's ide

  • I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army   Completing the first evolution

    [Evolution complete: congratulations, you have evolved to Spinosaurus superior!] "Uh? Has it been two weeks already?" Sobek thought as he heard the familiar robotic voice of the System warning him that he had completed the evolution. He was confused: it seemed to him that not even two minutes had passed!Very soon, however, the pains in his legs and back confirmed him that he had surely slept for a long time: because of the hard floor of the cave he was all ankylosed. It seemed to him that he had been running and fighting relentlessly for days.Sobek opened his eyes, and it was immediately clear to him that he had indeed changed. His field of vision was different: while before his vision was strictly monocular, allowing him only to see what was happening on the sides of his head, now his gaze was able to embrace a much larger area. He was finally able to see in front of him, even if not completely since he had a tiny blindspot between his eyes, but at least he could now see correctly

    After calming down, Sobek returned to the evolution interface to give a better look at it.Now a new System had become visible: the [Weapons system] icon appeared next to the [Food system]. Even though he couldn't open it, he already knew what it was. Now that he knew that those [Secondary systems] were used to prepare his army, it wasn't hard to figure out what that was given its name.Once he got it, he could create weapons of war!Sure, this meant seeing them first though...He shook his head. There was no point in mulling it over now: he had to wait for the next evolution to get it. He would have thought about it later, now he had other things to think about.He had unlocked five interface slots in the [Food system], but three were still missing. It was annoying, but he was patient: when the time came he would have asked the dinosaurs to tell him what they ate, and they would have shown it to him and allowed him to unlock the necessary slot.However, at the moment the [Food system]

    Sobek needed a long time to consume the parasaurolophus. Even with [Rapid digestion], consuming such large an animal took time; after all, that dinosaur weighed over two tons, so the amount of meat it had to swallow was quite large.. When he finished it was already evening.Sobek was a little annoyed by this. Eating his prey had always been a source of annoyance for him given all the time it took, but at least in the swamp he could use his little island to take refuge away from any other predators; now that he had no safe haven he had spent the whole time looking around fearing that at any moment some fearsome opponent would have appeared. After all, a dead parasaurolophus was tempting to many: any large predator would have wanted a good piece of it, and Sobek was not at all sure he could protect his prey in such a situation. If the opponent was too tough, he would have been forced to give up the prey and therefore also the experience points. "With [Fast eating] I could certainly do it

    As he had predicted, when he finished consuming both the apatosaurus and the dilophosaurus it was already the nine o'clock in the morning. It had taken him a whole night to make the corpses disappear into his jaws. Now, what remained of his two preys were just enormous skeletons, and many of the bones were even broken since he snapped them to eat the delicious and nourishing bone marrow.Incredibly, however, he wasn't tired. He didn't feel the need to sleep at all.When he was still a common spinosaurus he could stay awake for some days, but he still felt tired. Now, however, he was still in full force."I assume it's due to evolution. Now I need less sleep..." he thought, but still he couldn't help but ask himself some questions. "I wonder how it works. After all, the brain needs certain mechanisms and a lot of energy to function. Staying awake for too long would cause brain damage to amyone due to excessive energy consumption. Why is mine so different? Perhaps it has become similar t

    Epilogue

    It took Sobek a few moments before he realized he was back in the room where it all began. That room where time and space ceased to exist, and where everything and nothing seemed to have changed at the same time. He already knew where he had to go; walking through the infinitely large (or perhaps infinitely small) room, in a few minutes (or perhaps a few centuries, who knows) he reached the familiar armchair on which was seated a woman with white skin and light hair.God didn't even seem to move since she sent him to Eden. Even her expression didn't seem to have changed at all. She was still the same, beautiful and terrible at the same time, whose gaze was both magnetic and loving on him. “Welcome back, son,” she greeted him in her crystal clear voice.Sobek advanced on her. This time there wasn't an armchair waiting for him, but a large mattress wide enough to allow him to lie down. She lay back on it and gazed intently at God. Even now, after he'd grown i

    Death of a legend

    On the continent of Maakanar, near a river that was once a typical spinosaurus nesting place, something immense could be seen. A huge creature was lying on its belly, but nevertheless it was so tall that its dorsal sail towered over the surrounding masts.Sobek was now thirty-three years old. To say he had grown into a behemoth was an understatement: he now measured 150 meters from head to tail and reached 45.6 meters in height. Even without activating the mutation he was now larger than Godzilla: the gigantic atomic reptile was a tiny lizard compared to him. All kaiju would be small compared to him. Even King Ghidorah would have been forced to acknowledge its superiority.In the last five years he had hardly moved. After the death of his last loyalist he returned to his birthplace and settled there. He ate what was provided to him from the [Personal Manger] and drank the water from the river. Otherwise, he remained calm, warming himself in the sun or admiring the star

    The last fight

    After a few days Nefertiti settled at the lake together with her father and her last remaining uncle. With the help and indications of Sobek she built a comfortable nest and there she laid her egg.Thus began the brood. The female spinosaurus never moved from above her little egg, keeping it constantly warm. Sobek and Buck brought her food and water. When Nefertiti was hot, Sobek used her huge wing as a parasol and Buck fanned her with his tail. In the rare moments when it was cold, the two of her huddled to help her warm up.That routine went on for three months. Finally, at the end of the third month, a familiar clicking sound came from under Nefertiti's paws.The female spinosaurus reared up and looked down. A small crack was opening on the egg. With a smile she moved from above it. The crack widened more and more and finally a large piece of egg broke off, showing a lively green eye that stared intently at Nefertiti.“Hello, baby. I'm your mothe

    The first true hunt

    Time had passed again. Sobek couldn't even figure out how much time had actually passed now. One year? Two? Maybe three? He didn't know.After his retirement, Sobek had gone deep into the forest of Maakanar. It was hard for him to move his huge body through the trees and very often ended up destroying them: his passage was evident as a trail of uprooted trunks was always behind him. He had moved permanently to the lake where he had met Buck and where he had established his first army. And he hadn't gone there alone.Carnopo and Buck had joined him just a month after his departure. They, too, had decided they'd had enough and abandoned their roles entirely. After all, in the new world there was no longer a need for either an army commander or one of the shock legion. Now there was peace, and the old war veterans had no reason to try to find their place in their world. So they had decided to do what they had always done: follow their pack leader.The trio spent th

    Passing to the next generation

    Another year had passed. In Sobek's eyes, time seemed to have begun to flow more rapidly. The months and weeks all passed almost the same and in a flash the morning turned into evening.Humanity had continued its advance. By now, Aphrodites had been fully colonized. Whole cities had sprung up on it and millions of settlers had begun to live there. Davis had now reached more than a billion inhabitants and Hermes now owned thousands of mining establishments.Thanks to teleportation technology it was so advanced that traveling between planets was even easier than going from one city to another. Since energy and material consumption were now no longer a concern thanks to solar panels on Hermes and mining plants on asteroids, everyone had a portable teleportation device. By now, being hired to work a mine on an asteroid was no different than being hired to work at the local convenience store.Colonies on the moons of Leviathan and Behemoth had multiplied, providing e

    More time, more changes. In just one year, many things had changed.Nefertiti had assumed control of the entire astrophysics division of the dinosaur pack, effectively acting as acting pack leader for them. After the first shared mission, she had begun to promote more policies of integration and union between humans and animals. She had facilitated interspecies interspace operations, sending animals and humans to work together in the new worlds to be colonized. Furthermore, there was still much to colonize, as human attention was slowly shifting beyond the outer Solar System to the dwarf planets and comets of the Oort Cloud.The work was not cheap and with it the possibilities of working together. With the Dyson Sphere nearing completion, energy was no longer an issue. After determining which moons to colonize, the Eden Union had begun an intensive mining program in the asteroids of the main belt in order to be able to build huge lenses to capture the sunlight and also

    Path of the giant

    One more year, more innovations. The more time passed, the more progress seemed to accelerate. It was like a speeding train that multiplied its speed every second: first slow, then faster and faster, until it turned into a giant projectile.Sobek knew that progress was bound to accelerate more and more, after all it was his nature. For each new discovery, countless doors open. And every door leads to other doors. This was the nature of progress. It was no coincidence that it took humanity less than two hundred years to go from horses to aircraft capable of leaving the orbit of their home planet.He recalled that on Earth, where he came from, progress had become so fast in the 21st century that it was enough to be born even a generation later or further back to find oneself in a completely different world. While in 1990 the main communication system was the satellite phone, in 2020 people used social networks for the most disparate things. While in 1990 movies were watc

    Science is eternal

    More time had passed. This time it was a year… or maybe a year and a half? I don't know. Not that it mattered much, actually.The world's attention to the inner solar system was gradually waning. Now that three planets had been terraformed, even if one of them still wasn't enough, and Hermes had become a stable colony that was continuously producing large panels of glass that joined in the orbit of the Sun to form the Dyson Sphere, the humanity was beginning to anticipate new challenges. From the inner solar system it was time to move to the outer solar system.Although some colony outposts were already present on some moons of Behemoth, they could not be defined as true colonies. However, now that energy consumption was no longer a problem thanks to the Dyson Sphere, which although not completed already released enormous amounts of energy, the Eden Union decided to start an exploration program of the entire outer solar system, or at least of the space between B

    Giant of the skies

    Two more years had passed. The advance of humanity towards the stars continued inexorably.The hypotheses of the scientists had proved to be correct: using a combination of gravity control technology and energy obtained from the Dyson sphere, although still incomplete, they had managed to accelerate the rotation of Aphrodites. The planet was slowly accelerating, though not too fast. There was generally talk of an hour each week. At this speed there was no risk of destroying the infrastructure already present on the planet. Yes two years, the rotation period had gone from 2082 hours to 1978 hours. Continuing at this rate, it was expected to reach 24 hours in 'just' another 38 years.Once this process was completed, the huge orbiting mirrors could finally be taken off. The day/night cycle would no longer be artificially determined and there would no longer be the risk that something would go wrong due to the impact of a micrometeorite. In addition, the accelerated rotati
