I beat the numb death skyros until it’s dead. And after this effort, I have safely defeated a death skyros.
“Kyuu.”
…That thing was strong. I thought I’d lose.
I feel like it’s a miracle I won, that’s how strong it was… But lowering my head because I thought I lost was lame.
Lamer than I could ever be, I think. I have a lot I need to reflect on…
‘Will you evolve?’
Oh.
It looks like that embarrassing display was worth it.
Show me my options.
‘Snake.’
‘Skyros’
‘Giant pontiki.’
‘Unicorn rabbit.’
A baby snake can be anything, so it has paths that aren’t snakes.
Skyros is probably the pre evolution of that death skyros, and the unicorn rabbit is what I used to farm exp. Giant pontiki is the name of those mice I fought.
Things I’ve defeated. Is that what’s being shown to me as possible evolutions?
With that in mind, I activate Appraisal and check my possible evolutions.
《Snake》
《D rank monster. A new species with no peculiar traits that would normally not exist. A path with the possibility to become anything. It has quite high stealth capabilities.》
《Skyros》
《E rank monster. Its characteristics are its agility and bite. They are strong when hunting in packs, and require caution.》
《Giant pontiki》
《E rank monster. It has average stats and is not particularly strong, but its ability to adapt and propagate means they should be eliminated quickly. If left alone, their territory will quickly engulf a country.》
《Unicorn rabbit》
《G rank monster. Its meat is very tasty.》
Ohn…
Let’s go with the snake.
I don’t have to evolve into something I beat. Not to mention that it’s the closest thing here to a dragon. And it has a high rank.
I have no reason not to pick snake. I should go with the orthodox path.
So I pick snake, and…
“Kyuu!? Kyuu!?”
I feel hot, and my body growing.
‘Evolution complete.’
When the warmth is gone, the evolution is over.
Ooh…!
Wow! I really evolved! I feel it!
My line of sight is higher. I’m bigger. I was about as big as a small doll, but now I’m like a real snake!

I check my stats with excitement, and feel the growth.
Only a little more until all my stats are in the double digits.
But…
“Kyuu.”
I’m just a snake, but the stats look really weak… I really am a simple snake. Seriously.
Didn’t I get any skills this time?
Well, it feels like I just grew, so there you have it.
I’m looking forward to the next one. I want to be a superior version of a snake, or rather, a dragon… but I need ten levels, so that won’t happen so soon.
Well, this is fine for now. I almost died, but still evolved. A productive day.
“Kyuu!”
Okay… Let’s kill some more mice and leave.
I make that decision based on the frightening descriptions I saw in their stats.
