Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

As the first rays of morning light seeped into the small underground hideout, Caleb stirred from his sleep. He sat up slowly, his body unfolding from the makeshift bed of moss and leaves. With a habitual stretch that cracked the bones audibly, he rubbed his eyes, still heavy with the remnants of sleep. A yawn escaped him, and he ran his fingers through his unkempt hair, attempting to tame it somewhat but giving up midway with a chuckle.

The ant, already awake, scurried around doing its morning routine. As Caleb watched, amused, the ant meticulously cleaned its tiny space, moving small pebbles and rearranging leaf bits. It even managed to convey, through actions and scribbles in the dirt, how each task was vital for maintaining the structural integrity of their humble abode and avoiding unwanted moisture.

"Quite the housekeeper, aren’t we?" Caleb joked, his voice echoing lightly in the confined space. The ant paused to scribble a response in the sand: Someone has to be. You humans are messier than a molted exoskeleton.

Laughing, Caleb followed the ant outside, stepping into the fresh morning air. The ant moved with a purpose, its antennae twitching, always alert to the environment. In contrast, Caleb sauntered beside it, hands in pockets, taking in the scenery with a leisurely gaze. The forest was alive with the sounds of morning; birds chirping, leaves rustling, and the distant roar of a waterfall. There was no sign of the leviathan from the night before, the sky clear and peaceful. Discover exclusive tales on freewebnovel

As they walked, the ant pointed out various plants and their uses. Some were medicinal, others poisonous. Caleb listened, nodding along, his interest piqued by the survival strategies of this tiny creature.

"So, what’s on the agenda today?" Caleb asked, looking down at the ant, which had stopped to sip from a dewdrop.

Exploring further might bring us closer to those level 3 monsters you’re so curious about, the ant wrote, then added with a humor-laced caution, Just don’t pick fights we can’t finish.

Caleb grinned, "Worry not, my tiny strategist. We’ll only fight what we can chew."

As Caleb and the ant exited the dense forest canopy, they entered a sprawling savanna, the grasses golden and swaying gently in the wind. The expanse opened up to a wide plain where visibility stretched for miles, broken only by occasional clusters of twisted trees and distant rock formations. The air was crisp, a hint of dry heat hinting at the afternoon sun yet to come.

Silently, the duo found themselves witnesses to a formidable clash between two monstrous creatures. On one side was a lion with three menacing heads and dark green fur, each head snarling fiercely. On the other was a white gorilla, its size formidable, augmented bizarrely with spider-like limbs that added a grotesque elegance to its movements.

The gorilla, in an attempt to intimidate, beat its chest with a thunderous echo that rippled across the plain. However, the lion, undeterred by the display, responded with aggression rather than fear. It swiped through the air, sending visible slashes of force hurtling towards the gorilla. These ethereal claws whistled through the air, cleaving the grass below them with surgical precision.

The gorilla, for its part, was quick to adapt. It spun webs from its spider limbs, creating barriers and traps in an attempt to control the battlefield. Each web was placed strategically to either block the incoming slashes or ensnare the lion should it charge. With remarkable agility, the gorilla moved, trying to close the gap between them, using its webs to pull itself forward rapidly.

However, not all went smoothly for the gorilla. In a moment of intense combat, as it lunged forward, its elbow struck a hidden rock, jarring the limb awkwardly. The impact was visible, the gorilla’s movement faltering as it winced, the joint clearly strained. This momentary lapse allowed the lion to score a deep gash across the gorilla’s forearm with its razor-sharp claws, darkening the white fur with a bloom of red.

Caleb and the ant watched intently as the battle between the lion and the gorilla unfolded on the savanna. The air was thick with the dust kicked up by their ferocious movements.

"That lion’s got guts," Caleb remarked, squinting as the lion’s muscular form ducked and weaved with surprising agility. Each of its three heads seemed to have its own mind, coordinating attacks and defenses with an uncanny precision.

The ant, scratching a line in the dirt with a small stick, nodded, its antennae twitching. "True, but don’t count the gorilla out. It’s clever, using its environment like that."

On the battleground, the gorilla showcased its intelligence, utilizing its spider-like limbs to create complex webs that acted both as shields and snares. It launched sticky strands towards the lion, attempting to restrict the feline’s movements. The gorilla’s agility allowed it to swing between the lower branches of sparse trees, trying to outmaneuver the lion’s direct assaults.

Conversely, the lion displayed its species’ characteristic ferocity. With a powerful roar that seemed to shake the very ground, it unleashed a sonic wave from its central head, attempting to disrupt the gorilla’s intricate webbing. Each head then took turns breathing out bursts of scorching flame, turning patches of the grassland into blackened earth, aiming to corner the gorilla.

As the fight dragged on, fatigue began to take its toll on both creatures. The gorilla, its limbs slowed by exertion, misjudged a swing and crashed heavily onto the ground. Simultaneously, the lion, overextending in its fiery assault, stumbled, its energy spent.

"They’re both pushing their limits," Caleb observed, his voice low. "Looks like this is going to be a draw."

The ant agreed. "They’ve given their all. It’s a pity to see such spirit lead to this."

Finally, both the lion and the gorilla collapsed, their bodies sprawled across the trampled grass, panting and wailing from their wounds. Neither could continue the fight, their strength depleted and bodies severely injured.

Caleb shook his head slightly. "There’s a lesson in there somewhere about the cost of pride and battle," he mused aloud, his gaze lingering on the fallen beasts. "Even the mightiest can fall when they push too hard."
