[Upgrading to Armoured skin]

Ughhhh!! I feel that I will have more chances of dying whenever I upgrade myself rather than from monsters!!

When will it not hurt every time I get an upgrade…. They have said in the past that great risk brings great reward and of course that is true. But I don't know whether it is worth it at all. I hoped to minimise as much risk as possible, circumstances have forced me into being aggressive and thankfully it has paid off!

[Condition for evolution not met]

Hmm? What? What am I missing here? Is that not the last upgrade I can take… let me check my status.

[status]

Species: Newborn Imp(4/5)

Exp:44/50

HP:70                CON: 5                (1 CON= 10HP)

DEF:23            DEX: 3                    (1DEX= 5 DEF)

ATK:13            STR: 3                    (1 STR= 3 ATK)

MP: 15            INT:3                      (1INT= 5MP)

[Skills: Absorb(C), Iron claw(UC), Play dead(UC), Stealth(R),Pierce(UC), Blackout(UC)]

                {System skill: Analyse(U)}

      {Unique EX Skill: Experience of Another life}

  {Reduce the MP cost of all skills and abilities to 1}

Ahh, now I realised what I was lacking. I still haven't reached the required level to evolve. That explains it and now I have more work to do and I have to do it fast.

I found the same rats I killed earlier and by repeating the way I killed the first rat, I was able to deal weak point damage by striking its head with piercing, however, I wasn't as quick and got a sticky goop fired on me.

I didn't know it could do that but it seems like it is just sticky and nothing else. I haven't suffered any damage aside from having to go through cleaning myself. The rat must have been on the lower or lowest of the food chain in the dungeon I guess. More like the monster u meet when u start a game on a beginner level.

Thankfully after consuming the rat which took a good while I was able to get 10 more essences and got the exp I needed to level up after killing one more rat.

[10 essences gained]

[10 essences gained]

+4 Exp

+4 Exp

After upgrading to the armoured body I had 50 essences left and with the two rats, I killed I have in total 70 essences.

[Absorb(C) > Absorb(UC)]

[Absorbing takes less time]

And I also got a bonus upgrade on one of my skills. All in all, it was a fruitful day and I really hope I can evolve now.

[You have reached Level 5, 1 stat point awarded]

[ You have reached the level cap, evolution tree available]

FINaaallYYYYYYYYYY!

After all that work, I can finally evolve into a stronger being, although I don't mind being an imp it hurts my pride that I had to reside in such a weak body. Heheheheheh

Stop! Stop! Don't get distracted. Does it say I can view the evolution tree which means that I can perhaps choose how I want my evolution to go?

I also have to consider how long my evolution might take since the baby dragon can leave anytime and once it leaves I have no hope of even chasing after it.

[Would you like to use the Evolution men?]

Yepp!

[Congratulations]

Hey! Finally, the system gave me a compliment. It never did before as long as I remember. It hasn't been more than a week but all I heard from the system was just my progress not anything like this.

Well, the system must have finally noticed my might hehe after all I have survived in this hell for a long time!! A few days actually...

[Your evolution options are as follows:]

-          Imp

-          Lesser demon

Oh! Only two options? I don't have a lot of time here so hit me with the details system!

Okok... Analyze!

[Imp- an adult form of the newborn imp. Have higher base stats and 1 new skill – Hack]

[Lesser demon- lowest being of the demon race with the most number of evolution options. New skill- Enhanced]

Advancing to the imp will give me a better boost to my survival immediately, gaining stats and a new skill. But choosing the lesser demon will open the door to many evolutions and a way to become a top being in this damn world. It won't boost my survival chances in the short term but in the long term it may pay off huge dividends!

This could be the time to take a risk to seize the late game!

[Would you like to evolve to a Lesser demon?]

Yes!

[All levels will be reset]

[Evolution to a new race will remove race-related skills of the previous race]

What!??

 Before I knew it my vision immediately goes black.

I don't know how much time had passed before I regain consciousness. Gradually my muddle thoughts begin to straighten themselves and my coordination and control of my body slowly returns.

I cannot waste any more time, the baby dragon may be gone for all I know!

As I navigate my way from the shelter to where the egg is I check my status.

[status]

Species: Lesser Demon(0/20){Uncommon}

Exp:0/10

HP:120         CON: 10              (1 CON= 10HP)

DEF:53         DEX:9                  (1DEX= 5 DEF)

ATK:25         STR:7                  (1 STR= 3 ATk)

MP: 20          INT:4                   (1INT= 5MP)

[Skills: Absorb(C), Stealth(R), Enhanced(R), Calm down(U)]

                {System skill: Analyse(U)}

      {Unique EX Skill: Experience of Another life}

  {Reduce the MP cost of all skills and abilities to 1}

[Enhanced(R) : strengthen any part of the body to boost its defence and strength]

Stat point:1

[Skill point have now integrated with essence]

[The only way for a demon to become stronger is to feast on prey]

What the hell is this? Did I lose all my skills? even though it wasn't much at least it kept me alive up to this point?

Although I gained a new skill I don't know whether it is any stronger than my previous skills as its rank is Rare.

And no more free skill points? Did I cuck myself by choosing the wrong option? Was I meant to choose imp after all?

Wheewww... Calm down.

My level also got downgraded to level one but my base stats is almost double what it used to be. This seems to be the only good thing that happened after I evolved. Where is the justice you damn system?!

Bitter feelings are rising in my heart as I survey my new status, I noticed the biggest upgrade I got was on my def. I don't know how DEF affects me but I hope it does what it says and makes me more sturdy.

Returning to level one may not be that bad since it means that I'll be able to level up again and increase my stats, which also means I'll gain more stat points as I level up.

I have 1 stat point available right now but I don't want to spend it yet. Now that I have evolved I can go look at the new skills that I can get using essences as the system robbed me of my skill points. But I decided to do it later as I knew already that I don't have enough essence to buy any skills.

Gradually I've regained full control of my new body as I reach the closest area from where I can see the egg.

Before I finally set out on my dragon-slaying mission I take a look at myself first. Human-like body but with reddish and brown skin with 5 fingers armed with menacing claws. I can also feel the muscles that are now packing my new body.

Taking a deep breath, I set out.

I can still be locked onto the ceiling of the dungeon as I used to and I make my way to the Giant egg of the dragon. The roof is sixty, maybe even seventy meters high, so I absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake or less I'll meet my end before I even fight the baby dragon. That will put me to so much shame I rather kill let myself be killed by a rat.

Enough stalling, I finally reached the egg. Standing on the place where the dungeon walls and the egg is connected I use my claws to grab hold of the edges of the egg to look inside of it.

There it is, I can see the beast that is sleeping right before my eyes. And it has solved the mystery of why the egg is so big while the baby dragon is small as me.

The egg is filled with liquid-like stuff that is acting as food for the dragon but is solid enough for the dragon to actually sleep on its surface. the dragon doesn't seem to be eating It through its mouth. It seems to be absorbing it through its body. This is the first time I have seen something magical. Which gives me the hope of having the ability to use magic myself.

I try to climb down but while doing so I chipped off a part of the egg as it fell into the liquid-like substance...

Thud…

I obviously didn't expect it to make a sound like that.

    The moment the shell hit the floor, the baby dragon opened its eyes as it awakens from its slumber.I could feel the pressure it emitted as if a giant weight has pressed down on me, all I could do was to remain as still as possible. My senses were telling me to go and run away as fast as I can. Maybe me being a lesser demon affected me. I hesitated whether I should just give up and run away but I wanted to try at least once, u never know until u try right?However, it only looks at me once before it closed its eyes and resume what it was doing a moment ago. I instantly had one thought, maybe the dragon is in some process of evolution and cannot move?

  • Demon's Evolution   Demon Vs Dragon

    It's been roughly 3 hrs since I started converting the high tier essence to normal essence.[5 secs remaining].........[Coversion complete][Gained 5000 essence]Niceuuuu!It is enough to get two skills at most. I didn't hope for much but I was hoping for it to be much higher than 5000. Since 1% is 5000 essence then all the essence available here is about 500000??? Damn what a huge waste!I have not realised it before but once I looked into the skills section again, I can't decide which skills to choose.One way is to take the Biokinesis which cost 4000 essences since I don't even need to injure the dragon's exterior and directly caused harm to its internal organs. But can it really do enough damage to kill it? most likely not.The other way is to take poison generation and amplify which cost 1000 and 1500 essence each. I can strengthen myself to penetrate the dragon's thick hide and apply

    I was surprised. When I woke up, no I was actually really amazed that I even woke up.I thought I was dragon food all this time. But no need to think of it anymore. I don't know how I am alive but what matters is that I am still alive. But the other thing that took me by surprise is the body of the dragon in front of me, just a few metres away from me.I tried to get up but to no avail, even though I am alive my body is far from being fine. I cannot feel my right arm and my right leg at all. I am also sure I broke some of my rib bones.

    It's been exactly 92 hrs or 4 days since I rested inside the egg to heal myself. The system literally meant what it said when it said my body will take 4 days to heal.

    "Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st

    Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for

    My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to

    A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,

"You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou

  • Demon's Evolution   The Chosen Commanders

    The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g

    The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of

    Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers.

    The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times.
