*Clank*Clank*Clank*
The sound of bones hitting against the ground rang out in the middle of the night as a zombie with slanted back ran through the dense forest at full speed.
Though the skeletons full speed was pathetically slow...
In less than an hour, Jayden arrived at the familiar hidden cave.
[Ding!!]
[You have entered Evergreen forest's hidden cave]
[No points will be awarded as you have already discovered the place.]
Ignoring the prompts, Jayden arrived at the stone tablet.
Then he took out the four beast cores.
They were wrapped around in his shirt which he placed beneath the Phoenix's nest before.
Jayden carefully placed the four elemental cores inside the four holes according to their colours.
As soon as he placed the last core, a bright light came out from the stone tablet.
The cave started shaking as the stone tablet retreated back inside the ground, a blue coloured liquid started filling up the cuboidal shaped bath tub carved from rocks.
Staring at the blue liquid, Jayden's eyes shone as he directly jumped inside the blue liquid without a second thought.
Afterwards the cave regained it's silence.
In the middle of the evergreen forest, inside this silent hidden cave, many changes were taking place inside Jayden's Half-dead body.
[You have activated the hidden mechanism left behind by the Great Archmage 'Lucian Evans'.]
[The power of the four elements are coming together.....]
A dark blue coloured sphere the size of an adult's fist formed inside Jayden's right chest.
As his body was half skeleton, the dark blue coloured ord was clearly visible to the naked eye.
[A *[Monster Core](Unique)* has formed inside your body.]
[Monster Core (Unique):-
- A human gets mana from their heart while a monster from his monster core.
- Gives ability [Four Elemental Blessing](Unique)
]
[Four Elemental Blessing (Unique):-

Cracking sound came from all over Jayden's body as the density of his bones started increasing.
His tilted spine and rib cage recovered, the cracks on his bones vanished, unfortunately no new skin or muscle grew on his body as he still kept his half skeleton apearence.
His left arm was also still missing.
But all of his stats undervent a massive change.

----------------------------
The blue liquid in the pool started seeping inside the beast core in Jayden's chest.
After some time the entire pond became empty leaving behind a corpse.
Jayden's body shook as he slowly came back to himself.
The first thing he did after waking up was checking his status, he nodded his head when he saw that he managed to gain the hidden piece of the evergreen forest.
But...
*Grrgrgr*
'The curse is still there.....'
The main problem has yet to be resolved.
Just then another message popped up in front of Jayden.
[You have stepped upon the path of evolution, please select one of the following path to evolve.]
[1. Abomination (Rare)]
[2. Half-Dead Zombie(Uncommon)]
[3. Half-Dead Skeleton(Common)]
Jayden was stunned.
This was the first time he has seen something like monster evolution.
There were some exceedingly rare players who managed to become Dragon-Human but that was the closest players could go towards becoming a monster.
And now this.....
Jayden's stared at the three options with unblinking eyes.
Abomination was out of choice.
Choosing that would mean dying in the tutorial.
Although it was [Rare] grade and stronger than the other two, Jayden has never seen the evolved version of an abomination in the game before.
He has never seen something like an abomination king or abomination general and stuff.
Jayden finally decided to go with the second option after thinking for some time.
'A zombie will align more with my goal...'
[You have selected Half-Dead Zombie(Uncmmon) as your evolution.]
With a speed visible to the naked eye, rotten muscles started growing on Jayden's body.
[Strength, Agility and Defense have increased by 5 points each.]
His missing left arm also came grew back.
The colour of his eyes changed to green, a disgusting body odour started coming out from his body.
But his skeleton right arm remained the same.
[The comparability with your body and soul is increasing.]
[Time left till your body explodes and soul dissipates: 30 days.]
