Demon King

Chapter 3. First Evolution 1

[Please select the species to evolve.]

[1. Goblin Fighter]

I was staring at the window, dazed, unable to check my status. What did you just say? Evolution? Did you say evolution?

Is that even possible?

Beyond the limits of species, transforming into another species. You don't wake up through a thousand generations, and now I'm here?

Of course, it would appear that it is possible. And I knew it wasn't possible for anyone. The heart that was beating painfully was proving that.

Maybe this is the power of the Dark Heart. Of course, if I recalled skill information, it was still filled with question marks.

There wasn't much I could do unless I could get more information from the Dark Heart.

I looked at a window with the name Goblin Fighter on it. I had a hunch. A Goblin carrying a sword. It's them.

It was clear. They had a slightly different structure than the Goblins and were unchecked on the quest.

Do you have any Dimerit if I evolve? I thought about it, but I didn't.

Moreover, I was delayed by the information on the window that I had no choice but to not evolve. There is no point in hesitating if there is more than one action you can do.

I reached for the glass in the air. On the very window that says "Goblin Fighter."

Thaang. The glass echoes with a clear sound.

The change has begun.

“Ugh. Gah. Gah.”

A strange voice flows down your throat, even as you think to yourself. I felt like my whole body was breaking.

But I couldn't scream. I felt like I was choked.

The pain of my whole body being plucked out, like the blood of my whole body running upside down, dominated me. It seemed to be pressed back and forth against the press machine.

More painful than when you were wounded fighting Goblins, than when you were stabbed by a rusty Goblin Fighter blade.

Nevertheless, I was unconscious because of my determination that I could not die.

I desperately endured the pain. He gripped his teeth, but soon even his jaw twisted. Bloody bloodshed.

What's wrong? Is he gonna die like this? ’

No, I didn't say anything about failing. Then it couldn't have been a failure.

No matter how much it hurts, it doesn't die. If so, I can endure it.

How long has it been? The pain slowly began to subside.

The air was sweet. Tears in my eyes poured down my dirty cheeks and fell to the ground. And...

[Become a Goblin Fighter.]

[Beginner Slash is Lv4.]

[Beginner Throw is Lv2.]

“The end... is done. ”

I was terribly worried that other Goblins and Goblin Fighters might show up while I was suffering, but fortunately nothing showed up.

I woke up relieved of that. The pain was almost gone. Rather, I was light as if I could even fly now.

And I realized my own torso had developed more than ever before.

‘As expected, he was a Goblin fighter. ’

My body was full of power that I could never compare with before. I instinctively summoned Status.

[Fade]

[Goblin Fighter Lv 10]

[Strength – 27 HP – 29 hp – 5 Luck]

[Skill – Dark Heart, Predatory Lv1, Escape Lv1, Beginner Slash Lv4, Beginner Throw Lv2]

I opened my mouth. When I went through the pain, I thought I didn't want to go through this again, but at this moment, I stopped thinking about it. I could have gone through it twice or three more times. I'm stronger! I'm noticeably stronger!

It was the happiest moment since I opened my eyes with this body.

Strength and stamina increased by 10! ’

Moreover, since I was a level 6 before killing the last Goblin, I gained 14 Strength and Stamina at once. Your physical abilities have doubled!

A beginner swordsmanship that had remained at level 3 had also grown to level 4 at once. I swung the rusty sword in my hand a few times into the air, and I was able to swing it fairly quickly in a stable position as I could tell myself.

Ah, I'm getting stronger.

Increased chance of survival.

I'm sure. Now I can fight the Goblin Fighters.

It's still scary to deal with swords, but I only want to fight Goblins if I can, but it's not like I don't have the strength to defend myself in a situation like this!

And as I read that thought, a new window appeared before my eyes.

[Quest Occurred!]

[In Goblins weakened by special abilities, you became a very slightly weaker Goblin Fighter. You know how to grow. I don't have time to settle down in the body of a Goblin Fighter.]

[Goblin Fighter Hunt Predatory 0/100]

“100…… 100? ”

The horse flowed out of my mouth because I was so embarrassed.

It was a different situation than I had imagined. I had enough power to live on. I wanted to be strong because I wanted to live.

Now that I was confident that I would kill a Goblin so easily, I didn't want to put myself in danger with a Goblin Fighter.

However, my gaze reached the last statement of the quest.

You don't have time to rest in the body of a Goblin fighter?

Wait, does that mean there's gonna be a next one?

My heart was beating.If that's the case, if there's another next....

I touched my own face. It's still worthless. There's no dramatic change from a Goblin to a Goblin Fighter.

But if that change happens again and again, I wonder....

I wonder if I'll ever be like a human.

Everything other than "Saint", which had been giving up since I became a Goblin, began to rise above the water. Sleep in a soft bed, hot spring bath in hot water, and.

Chajangmyeon.

I wanted to have a squeeze.

You cannot go outside the dungeon with this goal. You said you were a monster and you were going to get shot. No, they might die by magic or swords.

No matter what happened to the outside world, none of humanity made Goblins its partners. So a Goblin cannot be a friend to humanity.

But if evolution continues, humans themselves may become like humans. If that's not the case, even a species that can mimic the human form is fine.

A new desire arose. I lied if I didn't resent myself for having to live to eat Goblins in this dark underground cave. After thinking about it, my desire swelled up beyond comprehension.

Gulp, I swallowed a saliva. I realized I was on the verge of my own choice.

Looking for a weak Goblin and ignoring future possibilities.

Fighting a Goblin fighter equal to or stronger than himself. And evolving at the end.

It was his life at stake. I couldn't be more careful. It was then.

“Has this cave risen since the Great Fusion, too? ”

“Can we not go in? I'm so scared. Captain, what if the monster shows up! What can we do without abilities? ”

“We are useless. Get me some popcorn, Usherin. ”

“Haha, that's right. If you're eating popcorn in the back, I'll take care of it. I have the experience and strength of mercenaries! ”

From beyond, I hear the voices of three people who are talking loudly and eating their way through the borderline ceremony.

A man came in from the dungeon.
