Elias leaned on his Cursed Chain Chest and began to doze off. But, he couldn't sleep as the influence of the Golden Fruit was so much that his mind kept waking up. 

After three hours the fruit began to dry until it started glittering like gold. It was then that the Ram walked to it and gobbled it up. The disappearance of the fruit makes everything come back to normal. The air scent all became normal.

After that, the Ram ate away the tree leaving only the roots. And it eyed the remaining two trees before it sat down.

Elias sighed as he watched the Ram looking at its two remaining trees. As for him, he was calculating time. Soon, the night will come and then after that, the next day will start at midnight. 

He planned to use the Ram as a strategy to do his Daily Mission. 

All of a sudden Elias started to sweat and his eyes too began to tear up. He is not crying but rather it was just liquid flowing out with no control out of him.

His skin pores also opened and thick white liquid flowed out drenching him. The liquid has some sort of corroding substances as they corrode his tattered clothes. Becoming half-naked...

He rubbed his hand, trying to identify what was happening, by doing that, his skin peeled off. He felt a burning sensation when air brushed where the skin was peeled.

Elias quickly stood in fear, thinking he was going to melt down. But while standing, the rubbing of his skin makes several parts of his body peel off.

Then, Elias noticed underneath his skin was a baby-like skin that is pale with a golden hue.

Zing!

[Congratulation]

~You have evolved due to eating a Sacred Evolution Fruit.

~You are 5 years younger.

~Your body has acquired Adaptation Trait.

~Your body has acquired Rapid Healing Trait.

~Your body has acquired an Immunity Trait against certain diseases, viruses, poisons, venom and some ailments. 

<Note! Any Venom, Poison, or Adverse Weather Condition that did not kill you, your body will develop immunity against it with time.>

As Elias read through the information, he was happy beyond belief. Just the prospect of acquiring 'Adaptation Traits' was amazing. 

He was in a strange world that has a strange physical element that is not similar to his world. That means he had to either adapt to this new environment or die. 

He has already known that in the olden days animals and humans died out or became extinct due to changes in weather or any condition that is not suitable for them. In other words, they couldn't adapt to the new environment.

For those that adapt, they flourish without a problem. Now that his body has gained Adaptation Traits, he does not have any fear that he will go somewhere and die without a cause or reason as he will adapt to any environment.

"Wand Interface", he said.

Zing!

"Hmm. Traits were added to the list. And also I have five resources? Let's check what and what!"

Elias stared at the resources section and then the list was given.

[Islanders Treasures]

1~ Chain Chest (No longer Cursed Chest)

2~Artefact: Coward Stance.

3~Cursed Flesh (It oozes dangerous liquid)

4~White Chest (Not much is known about it)

5~King Might Tattoo.

_____

He then checked the description of each one of them.

[Spike Chain Chest is a chest that contains dangerous metallic devices that are made up of metals which can shape into spikes, razor-sharp blades, knives and many more. All are attached to the chains for effective movement.

The device gains energy through feeding metals and animals that have blood in them. Since blood contains little amount of iron.

It's a very dangerous chest to come by, but when tamed it becomes the greatest ally.]

<Not much is known about it. It may contain more secrets>

_____

[Caward Stance is a special Artefact that tricks the perception of onlookers into believing the holder is weak and vulnerable. The owner of the Artifact will be perceived in his most feeble form. 

For example; A Mutate Rat may look like a normal Rat. A King level Ram will look like a weak Goat.]

______

[Cursed Flesh is a piece of flesh of a certain entity that can live on its own by eating other living things through the liquid it oozes out. 

Extremely dangerous to be within a hundred meters of the Cursed Flesh without protection]

_____

[White Chest. Not much is known about it. It might contain Artefacts or sacred treasures.]

______

[King Might Tattoo is a tattoo that when inscribed on the body, the person will obtain, at random, one of the traits of the King.]

As he reads through his treasures, Elias is happy with them, even the Cursed Flesh. As a smart person, he was thinking about how to make himself immune against Cursed Flesh. Since he has Adaptation Traits and Immunity Traits. 

All he has to do is train and he will be immune against the corruption of the flesh. 

Though as of now he felt his body is weak due to the sudden evolution he knew he would regain his power when everything subsided. 

Another thing that he saw was a change from the Wand Interface was Age. Before, it shows Age 25( Earth Time). Now, he is 20 years old. And there is no indication of Earth time.

"Why did the Age change?" He asked the Wand.

[Islander Elias Gobarau has achieved Rebirth through evolution. His Earth year's no longer matter anymore. Your body now looks 20 years old, but the fog considers you just a baby that is 6 days old.]

"Six days? That was the number of days he spent in the world. My old age doesn't matter anymore as I'm in a new world?!"

After he finished checking his Wand for the explanation, he removed the remaining skin that did not peel off his body and observed the new skin as it dried to a baby texture. It was a bit darker with a bit of golden hue. 

Calming down his emotion he looked at the Ram and then at the White Chest. 

One thing is sure, the Ram might be on his Island but it is not among his treasures. 

Or does the island belong to the Ram, to begin with while he is around?

Evolution is the key to adaptation in a new ecosystem.
