In a wonderful world, there are all kinds of monsters. You start with a small monster. You need to carefully avoid high-level monsters, devour low-level monsters, and grow slowly. Sometimes there will be super monsters. At this time, you need to hide and don't be found, otherwise you will become the food of super monsters. Of course, as you devour small monsters, you will eventually grow into super monsters, even the strongest monsters.
