Rem's Evolution Experience

Rem woke up the next day. Since she sold everything except for the F Ranked Mana Stones, she had to hunt some more food again. The Raku Bear Leader was way too strong.

'It's been 2 days since I've been in this world. Today's the third day. So far I'm level 15. Since the Kagu Bear Leader is level 50, the normal bears should be around level 20. I wonder if I'm able to defeat one? If I'm not able to defeat one, I'll just simply flee from the bear. Let's try hunting a normal Kagu Bear! '

Rem used her transformation skill to turn into a beast-man. She started to look for a low-level Raku Bear by itself. Not long after searching, Rem found a Raku Bear she was pretty confident in defeating. Although the bear was twice as large as Rem, she was not scared at all. Confident that she would defeat the bear easily, she activated her stealth and went up close to the bear. Within her range, Rem used Lightning Bolt. Unfortunately, it did not stun the bear. The bear noticed Rem and attacked her. Rem deactivated her stealth skill and tried dodging the bear's attack but failed to do so. Rem got punched in the stomach, hard. She had a lot of pain resistance so Rem almost instantly got up even after being punched by the bear but Rem's health was already half gone. Using Shadow Bind, Rem then used Wind Slash multiple times. After that, she checked the bear's stats.

After checking the bear's stats, Rem decided to punch the bear to death after realizing that her MP was low. Crushing the bear with her fists, the bear finally died.

{You Have Leveled Up!}

[+1 Bear Hide]

[+1 E Rank Mana Stone]

[+1 Level 8 Leather Gloves (F)]

'I was wondering why I didn't get any weapons or armor from the Horned Rabbits and the Boars. Since they are F rank monsters (Levels 1-15), of course, they wouldn't drop any weapons or armor. I can't believe I forgot. I thought I had extremely bad luck haha. Oh well, the drops aren't bad.'

Rem checked the Leather Gloves.

<Leather Gloves (F)>

[Level: 8]

[+3 STR]

[+6 DEF]

'The stats are alright I guess.'

Rem equipped the gloves.

'Urg I don't like the texture of leather... You know what, I'm selling this. I'll just buy the combat gloves in the shop.'

Rem sold the Bear Hide and Leather Gloves. She obtained around 2,000 Uken. Scrolling through the shop, she found a combat glove her level.'

<Basic Combat Gloves>

[Level: 16]

[+24 STR]

[+37 DEF]

Rem equipped the gloves. Satisfied with the texture and stats of the gloves, Rem checked her stats.

'How come I only gained one level? Are the Raku bears supposed to give me so little EXP? Oh well. At least I leveled up. I'm hungry... Should I try some bear meat?'

Looking at the dead bear, Rem slowly devoured it.

'Tasty. Bear meat is a million times better than a rabbit or boar meat. I'll hunt some more bears for the meat.'

After eating, Rem searched for some more bears.

'What's this?'

Rem looked at her evolution benefits and requirements.

<Kager★>

[+10% Magic Resistance]

[+2 New Skills]

[+1 Hidden Ability]

[+Shadow Magic(Tier 1)>Shadow Magic(Tier 2)]

[+5% More Stats/EXP Gain]

<Requirements>

[+200 F ranked Mana Stones (141/200)]

[+50 Raku Bear Beast Cores (0/50)]

'Just two requirements? The Ranked Mana Stones would be easy to get but the Raku Beast Core is a really rare drop. There's only a 10% chance or lower of a Raku Bear dropping one... I guess I'll have to slaughter a lot of bears... I'll also have to find some boars to hunt so I can get enough F Ranked Mana Stones.'

Rem checked her stats.

Five days had passed and Rem finally got what she needed. She killed hundreds of Raku bears to get what she needed.

^Note: There's a limit to how many levels a monster can reach before they evolve. After they reach that limit, they have no choice but to evolve unless they want to stay at the same level forever.^

'I think I wiped out the whole Kagu Bear tribe except for the higher leveled bears. Oh well, that doesn't matter to me.'

<Requirements>

[+200 F ranked Mana Stones (200/200)]

[+50 Raku Beast Core (50/50)]

{All Requirements Are Completed. Do You Want To Evolve?}

<Yes/No>

Rem pressed "Yes".

Suddenly, darkness surrounded Rem.

•••

Rem woke up and realized that 6 hours must have passed since before she evolved, it was the evening. Now, it was probably around midnight. She also realized that she went back to her monster form. A message appeared in front of her.

{You Have Successfully Evolved.}

'Did I really..? Next time I evolve, I should go somewhere safe. I'm glad I didn't get eaten when I was evolving since I just passed out in the middle of nowhere.'

^Note: Monsters rank(s) up and evolve. Every monster evolves differently. Unlike monsters, humans can only rank up. The star(s) (★) represents their rank(s).^

Rem ran to the pond. Rem had lived near the pond ever since she came here so she knew where the pond and where everything around the pond was. After reaching the pond, Rem looked at herself. She saw the same reflection as she saw last time. She was still a beast with snow-white fur and black stripes. The only thing that changed was her size.

'Seriously? I look the same... This time, I'm just bigger. Right now, I'm probably the size of an adult dog. I guess I look more like a monster now since I'm larger now.'

Rem checked her new stats.

*Sigh...

'I can't believe I wasted four days grinding but I couldn't even level up... Now that I evolved, I should be able to level up some more before I have to evolve again. Let's see what my shadow magic does now.'

<Shadow (Tier 2)>

'I've obtained a new skill and the rest of my skills ranked up... I should check what these skills do.'
