2021-07-12 15:48:00I lost all my senses as I was enveloped in the terrifying darkness. I felt as if I was separated from everything I had a connection with, the material world, my senses.
Trying to remember what happened to me, but all I could remember was that I died and found myself in a strange place before everything became filled with darkness.
Yes, I remember one more thing. The voice I heard before being enveloped in darkness was saying something about some system activating.
While I was dwelling in these thoughts, sounds began to come in from all directions and just as it reaches me, I hear a voice.
[System Activation Successful]
[Status]
[Level:1]
Is this what I think it is.....
[Stats]
HP: 50
DEF: 15
ATK: 9
[Other stats are locked]
Holy shit! So if I am correct, I just got reincarnated into some world with a system. Does this mean I am some hero with OP skills like in those novels I read!?
[Skills: Scavenging*; Iron claw*; Sprint*; Play dead*]
...
Forget what I said, what kind of skills are these!! Where is my dark magic or my destruction magic or at least a teleport ability?
[Species: Newborn Imp]
...
Ha.
Haaaaaaa.
What is this you stupid system?! Imp? That ugly mob-like thing in every game I played? And not just any Imp, a newborn Imp? What did I do in my past life to deserve this? Is it because I was cruel to my girlfriend? That can't be, I didn't even have one!
[Available Stat point:1 Available Skill point: 1]
[The System will lead you to Supremacy]
Supremacy? Supremacy your father! You stupid system! You can't even hear me, can you?
Sigh... I don't even have a choice. Since that's the case, let's see how this Imp looks like or actually how I look like. Those ugly bony legs have only three ugly nails or claws, two ugly hands have three claws like the legs, and the ugly face I can tell just by its appearance even though I can't see it.
Now, what in the world am I supposed to do now? I probably need to survive right? I don't even know anything about Imps. Did I kill so many Imps in the game that I got reborn as one?
Who am I even complaining to? No longer a human, now an Imp. FINE! I love my ugly face.
I should actually question why I am here in this place but if I keep on wasting time, I won't survive long. Years of reading fantasy novels will finally be put into good use!
First, I may as well find out where I am currently. The thing I noticed first is that my vision feels like it is obstructed by something. I can't see much at all, and the place appears to be dark.
I don't know what abilities an Imp has, can I check this somehow? Status?
[Species: Newborn Imp]
HP:50 DEF: 15 ATK:9
[Skills: Scavenging*; Iron claw*; Sprint*; Play dead*]
Newborn Imp huh...
[Newborn Imp: The newly formed lifeform of the race, Lesser Imp. Have great skills in tricking other lifeforms]
WHOA! What a surprise. I hadn't expected it to happen. Yet that provides no useful information. Then maybe I should just explore the area where I am at the moment.
With hesitant yet eager steps, I began to move towards the direction the light was coming from. My surroundings make me feel dwarfed in comparison with myself. I can't even see the ceiling of this damn place.
It sounds like something is happening. The sound is similar to the crunching noise you hear when eating fried chicken or something similar. My attention quickly shifts to where the sound comes from and I see it.
A creature that looks too much like me lies on the ground, its hands and legs being crunched on by a mysterious entity that I can't recall anything about.
In the meantime, the predator snaps its jaws several times as it crunches the imp into pieces.
Nope.
I am outta here.
There stood a wolf-like creature in front of me, but it was much larger and scarier than it appeared from what I recall. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to notice me. Right now, the best thing I can do is.... run for my life!
My apologies, my friend! You'll always be in my mind for your ugly face!
As I stumble and become accustomed to my new body, I rush in the direction from which I came. Don't look back! IMMEDIATELY!
In my frantic escape from one of those beasts, I came across three at the same time. This place must be the hideout of these beasts. Above that this time, they noticed me. The momentum I am riding causes me to stop too quickly, resulting in me falling to the floor. What a shame I can't see clearly! There is a way for me to escape, but I am unsure whether it will work.
Damn it, I'll just have to try!
PLAY DEAD!!
[Play Dead: Stops all movement and emit a foul smell that monsters avoid]
I hope this works!
[Gained skill proficiency: Play dead(C)>>> Play Dead (Uncommon)]
Following the trail I left behind, the three beasts came close to me. I waited in silence, frightened out of my mind and hoping they would ignore me. I was about inches from them, and they immediately retreated, a foul odour striking their sensitive noses as they retreated.
Howl!! Roaring they backed away.
It Worked!! Holy...Now I just have to wait for them to get away from me. I guess the skill does not have much effect as it is low levelled. But as long as they don't come after me, I'll be fine.
A little while later, I think the three beasts had disappeared out of my sight.
I have to find somewhere to hide and gather my thoughts. If I can't find one then I have to make one. These ugly claws of mine still have some uses. In an isolated corner of the landscape, I decided to build a shelter.
With that, I put force in my hands and dig without rest until I carve out a small space where I can fit in. I don't know if I accomplished anything, but staying inside here made me feel safer than wandering blindly through this place. Basically, if any monsters were blocking the entrance, I would not be able to escape unless I dug my way through the ground.
Sitting inside my dark hole, I begin to ponder my circumstances.
Those wolflike beasts that I saw are certainly not the ones that exist on earth. That is some ridiculous nonsense right here.
A little help or guidance? You stupid system?
Of course not!
Let's just check out what I can do with the system then.
Skills! Skills!?? Huh, why isn't it working?
Status?
[Species: Newborn Imp]
HP: 50 DEF: 15 ATK: 9
[Skills: Scavenging*; Iron claw*; Sprint*; Play dead*]
So I have to open the status first. Let's check out the skills I have. Scavenging? Do I have to feed on someone else's remains? Seriously?
[Scavenging: Ability to absorb every little essence from dead bodies]
What? Essence? What is that supposed to be?
[Essence: Energy required to upgrade the existing body parts or upgrade to a higher class being]
[Higher the rank of essence more options of evolution will be available]
[Essence ranks:???>???>???>???>Grade 4 essence> Grade 3 essence> Grade 2 Essence>Ordinary essence]
What is all this shit? So this skill allows me to get stronger! Finally, I have an idea of what I need to do.
Let's check the next skill.
[Iron claws: Enhanced the strength of your claws increasing damage by 20%]
An attack type skill... This is probably the only skill I have to defend and hunt based on the names of the skill. And the next skill is most likely a movement skill.
[Sprint: increase movement speed by 15%]
Bingo! Well, it wasn't that hard. I am a genius anyway.
The final question is how do I spend my stat points and skill points? I remember that I had one of each.
[Would you like to spend your points?]
Easy as pie. HAHAHAHAHA I am so smart. How is it possible for someone else to do this as easily as I can?
[Skill points: 1 Stat points: 1 Essence: 0]
[You can use skill points to upgrade your current skills or buy new ones]
[You can use stat points to strengthen your current stats or unlock new stats]
[You can use essence points to upgrade the current form or evolve to a new one]
AMAZING!! So you mean not only can I upgrade my skills I can buy new ones??!!
Basically, so long as I have skill points, I can be a monster!
Unlock new stats... Hmm, that's interesting, what stats do I need actually?
Let's see what stats I can get first.....
Screech!!! Screech!!
There is a sound similar to something being dragged. Throughout the area thumping noises filled the air, and I could sense the ground vibrating.
Gulp...this doesn't sound good to me.
I carefully came out of my hole to see what it was and I saw it.

I saw it, something I never would have wanted to see.A beast that I have seen in the games I have played. The epitome of strength, brutality and madness.Orcs.It made me come to the reality that the world I am in now is not Earth anymore. All this time I was still going easy with everything treating it as if I am in some game.The wolflike beast that I saw earlier is being held in one of its arms as it uses the other to tear it in half. Just to remind you, the wolflike beast is at least 3 times larger than me, but it wasn't even worth comparing to that Orc.I thought that Orcs were at least twice the size of a human but the one I am seeing right now is easily 5 times the size. that also makes me realize how gigantic this place is. Even though the Orc is almost 15m in height, it doesn't even reach half the length of this place from the ground to the ceiling.Does this mean that there are monsters or beast that is larger than the Orc in fron

[Stealth has reached level 3]Hmm? Nice! Skill level up!But how did it levelled up? I didn't even hide...I get it. What I am doing in this hole is hiding! Does that actually count? This is such a huge opportunity to farm my skill level for my stealth. I should try and see what other skills I can level up in this way.I'll think about that later, I need to hunt today. It's not every day I'll get free food from the Orcs. But engaging in combat means instant death for me based on the monster I have met till now.I'm sure there are other weaker monsters in this place, Right!!?? If not I am totally screwed.I also need a safer place as my shelter, the hole I am staying in now may be safe for now but if I am found it's more like a death trap cause I have no way out.I'm so hungry...Hiding in my shelter there's only one thing on my mind.FOOD!!I'm starting to remember all the delicious foods I have eaten in my previous life,

I haven't thought about it seriously before because I was occupied with more important stuff but are Epic rank monsters that common? Aren't they supposed to be near impossible to find, more like whoever finds them doesn't live to tell the tale but I am now doubting whether Epic rank is that high of a rank at all? In just one day, I came across two Epic rank monsters even though they were newborns they were still Real Epic rank monsters. Epic rank or not, it doesn't change the fact that I am going to kill that baby dragon today. No pain no gain as people use to say in my world or do I say my previous world? Although I am worried there will be more pain than gain or quite possibly pain only, I was a person who lived for overpowered skills, I cannot live without having anything overpowered in my arsenal of skills or abilities. And one thing that could possibly give me something overpowered is killing an Epic rank monster, not just any monster but a Dragon. Maybe a title like the Dragon

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? I could be totally wrong and fuck myself up but I believe that it is true.Before anything I want to see if analyze will show anything to me. that would be the safer and smarter thing to do.Analyze![Epic rank - Newborn Falak dragon][Offspring of the Epic Rank Falak Dragon.

"W-what's going on here?!"Someone shouted. Geometrical patterns, just like a magic circle you'd see in anime, formed on the floor of the classroom.Then, in the following instant, the space around them changed – turning into a large ground with a large circular plate with unknown symbols.An unknown number of people out of nowhere appeared on top of the circle as the archimages finished the ritual."Hurraaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"The people, citizens, everyone was on their knees as they shouted in unison. The otherworldly heroes were their hope. For every generation, they were told the stories of heroes, of how they slew the monsters of the dark, of how they protected the empire, of how they sacrificed their lives for the people. Instilled on each citizen was a deep sense of respect and honour for the so-called heroes. And today was such a day where they would get to see a glimpse of their heroes."..eh?'One moment they were si

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

Demon's Evolution Bringing Kids to War
With the army reorganized into a formidable array of distinct units, Viscount Raphael and I set out on our march towards the City of Northfall, our banners snapping proudly in the wind. It seemed my display of power had been remarkably effective. While a simmering discontent persisted among the ranks regarding my decisive, albeit brutal, act of eliminating the insubordinate soldier, the hostile and mocking glances I had previously endured had completely vanished. In their wake, a curious mix of fear and intrigue began to take root, blossoming like a dark, thorny flower in the eyes of my men.Ethan, the once-wasted, exiled son of a Duke, had transformed into a figure of ruthless prowess, a tyrant if you will. Though the label held a chilling undertone, it was undeniably preferable to the earlier scorn and disrespect. Now, whispers traveled amongst the soldiers, hushed conversations speculating on the triggers of my wrathful abilities. They were desperate to avoid these perilous flames,
Demon's Evolution ScapeGoat
"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
Demon's Evolution Doubt In the Commander
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
Demon's Evolution Foresight
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
Demon's Evolution Indecisive
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,

"Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "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
Demon's Evolution Who will be the Commanders?
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
Demon's Evolution Green Family
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. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br
