'Hmm, this novel is pretty nice I don't mind skipping school for it' Luis a silver-haired teen thought to himself.
He was currently at his class reading a novel he stumbled upon only to get addicted.
"Hey Luis what are you doing?" A feminine voice could be heard beside Luis who immediately hid his phone with a surprised expression.
"N-nothing much Mia..." Luis stammered as he cursed himself inwardly for being stupid.
Mia the girl beside him looked at him skeptically before smiling at him.
"I always love that cute and innocent face of yours" Mia complimented with a lovely smile which made Luis's heart beat faster.
'This is your chance, Luis, it's now or never!' Luis thought before gathering up all the courage he had.
"Um, Mia I've been wanting to tell you this for a while but I-" Luis was then interrupted halfway when something mysterious happened.
A strange light enveloped the whole class and at that moment everyone in the class vanished except Luis who was now lying unconscious.
...
-Ding!
[You have been granted the evolution system!]
'What the hell' Luis thought as his consciousness slowly came back.
He felt a slight push at his behind and as though it was a reflex motion he began walking in a specific direction as though he knew where he was going.
'Evolution system?! What the hell is that' After gaining his sight Luis saw the holographic message that appeared before his small ant eyes.
[The Evolution system was granted to you by the master, The purpose of the system is to help its user evolve and gain unique power through killing and devouring of creatures]
After listening to the explanation Luis's eyes shined with delight as he then stopped walking towards the path he was following but later continued.
Luis wanted to devour all of his brethren on the spot but he was currently outnumbered and he wasn't that powerful.
After some time for some time, the colony of ants at the front of the line started moving quickly so Luis followed suit.
Luis had reached the destination where the ants scattered and surrounded a large and familiar insect.
'Is that really a centipede?' Luis asked himself feeling uncontrollable fear as the stats for the centipede came up.
[Name: None]
[HP: 20]
[MP: 3]
[Species: Black centipede, Lv.3]
'Shit, that's pretty high' Luis thought as the centipede starts eating the group of ants that surrounded it only for more to move forward.

Looking through his skills Luis couldn't help but want to give up.
'I'll soon be next in line yet I can't do anything' Luis thought with anger and frustration as he steeled his resolve and rushed towards the centipede with all his might.
Since the other ants kept the centipede busy he had the chance to deal some damage.
|Strong bite|
Strengthens the mandible of the ant and increases the power of its bite causing a good amount of damage depending on what is bitten.
In a single bite, Luis easily tore the body of the centipede causing some type of black blood to leak out.
|Poison|
Allow potent poison to come out of the ant's mandibles.
Combined with [Poison] the centipede stood no chance as its body fell flat to the floor leaving Luis and the rest of the ants with a win.
[Gained +20 Exp]
[Level up!]

Luis didn't focus on the messages rather he moved towards the body of the centipede quickly and started eating its body.
|Absorb|
After eating the body of a beast or creature the ant can acquire some of its skills and powers.
[You have gained the following skills]
[Fear]
[Steel body]
[Basic movement boost]
'This battle was a tough one but I did gain well from it' Luis thought to himself as he slowly started moving again only to find out that the colony of ants was now following his command.
Since they followed him at their own free will Luis didn't bother with them and looked for a shelter to stay at for the time being.
