Demon King

[Please select the species to evolve.]

[1. Hobgoblin Masquerade]

[2. Hopgoblin Road]

[3. Trolls]

[4. Werewolf]

[5. Bugbear]

Remove the two above first. If I did not go beyond the limits of the species, no matter how great the title I held, I could not choose.

The two things below were things I already knew. The first shareholder of Jinma's Tower 1st floor, and the boss of Black Palace District 7th and 2F.

They share a lot of resilience. Trolls have strength and werewolves have strength in speed. The werewolves didn't have time to appreciate the speed because I was finishing them all at once.

And the fifth and final option was a monster I had never seen before. Bugbear. I recalled its explanation with a feeling I didn't know why.

[Bugbear – Clan of Assassins more familiar with Darkness than Light. These monsters are tall enough to be Trolls, but their footsteps are hard to detect.

Powerful enough to snap a Troll's neck with one arm, fast enough to pierce a fleeing werewolf through a spear, and has the ability to conceal all of them and have magic. Monsters in obvious predatory positions among intermediate monsters.

Individuals who have survived for a long time and evolved to the top species of Bugbear are also said to be threatening senior monsters.]

As always, the last option was the best.

Bugbear. A monster of the fairy family who shares a tradition with the Boogeyman. In a way, he was like a Goblin in that he was an evil elf and surpassed the Goblin in his strength.

I couldn't believe that I reached this state myself.

But the reality is, I can be an intermediate monster.

It remained that the creature was not nearly as furry as the humans, but I didn't think much of it.

I was sure that I would get to where I wanted to be someday. If you keep going, if you keep getting stronger, you will!

I carefully examined the description of the Trolls and the werewolves, and thought enough about their superior regenerative skills.

Then, I chose Bugbear with confidence.

“Shhhhhhh!”

The change was so sudden and intense.

Arms and legs were crushed, head was crushed, and whole body bones were shattered without form. All the muscles were shattered and the blood evaporated and the skin was torn off.

Only the heart of darkness was beating vigorously in my arms.

It was nothing compared to the suffering of evolution so far. There is an incomparable difference between lower and lower monsters.

[Intermediate regeneration is now Lv2.]

[Medium Resistance Lv6.]

This was not an evolution, but rather a masculine destruction and re-creation. I return the useless body of a lower monster to Mana, and only the heart of darkness beats in the air, the key to maintaining myself.

And not only the Mana that made up my body, but also Mana that was overflowing with Jinma's tower is being sucked into my heart.

I was being reborn as an intermediate monster, abandoning the body of a lesser monster.

Stronger blood vessels, nerves, muscles, blood, bone, flesh, skin, Mana built me around the heart.

New laws and components granted to Mana have created a monster on the earth just as they did from the beginning. That was me.

[Intermediate regeneration is Lv3.]

The change is over.

I opened my eyes and realized that my point of view was quite different.

A giant black foot, which looks to be more than 50 centimeters long, sets the floor. It didn't take long to realize that it was his own foot.

I felt the power to stay in my body. It was an unparalleled force compared to when I was Hobgoblin Earlter.

Moreover, even though I had a large body that was too burdensome for me, my body felt light without chin. I felt like I could run as far as I wanted.

“Bugbear.”

The man who was watching me quietly recited it in a voice as if he could hear me.

“I miss you.”

“What?”

He didn't answer. I was not disappointed because I did not expect an answer. Rather, I was actually more surprised by the fact that the voice just came from my neck was much thicker and lower than I thought.

I ignored Aelle, who no longer speaks, and examined her body as I moved directly from there. And I realized my own choices weren't wrong.

Strong, fast, large, and quiet.

I now have all the elements necessary for an organism to exist as the strong.

I am at a new starting point. As a strong man who can hunt, prey on, and become stronger in everything he encounters, rather than the weaknesses he struggles to survive.

[Become a Bugbear.]

[Intermediate Martial Arts becomes Lv10 and evolves into Advanced Martial Arts. Become proficient at empowering people to become more powerful. With a simple attack skill, you can get it from just a few views.]

[Makes it easier to learn all combat related skills. You will be able to draw the power of your weapon beyond its limits. However, the durability of the weapon is affected at this time.]

[Intermediate Raid becomes Lv10 and evolves into Advanced Raid. It doesn't detect you running on electricity. If you ambush an enemy, you can inflict a fatal blow.]

[Intermediate power attack…….]

[Level Up!]

Almost all of my skills seemed to have grown. Watching them all at once makes me feel nauseous, so I swing my hands to remove them, and it's been a long time since I called the Status.

[Fade]

[Bugbear Lv 63]

[Strength – 500 HP – 417 MP – 297 Luck]

[Skill – Dark Heart, Predatory Lv4, Advanced Martial Arts Lv1, Intermediate Lunatic Trickster Lv2, Intermediate Armor Defense Lv3, Intermediate Regeneration Lv5, Intermediate Flame Magic Lv1, Intermediate Power Attack Lv2, Lesser Height Lv8, Lesser Taunt Lv9, Advanced Detection Lv2, Advanced Ambush Lv1, Intermediate Dongle Lv2, Intermediate Beast Charge Lv5, Intermediate Pain Brush

Lv6, Medium Resistance Lv7, Beginner Illusion Magic Lv6]

Haha. I laughed.

I was devastated. I was so afraid of the changes that once evolved.

With the exception of the Trickster Killer EXP that increased to level 3, the Strength and Magic Power increased by 120 and Stamina grew by 60.

Until now, I couldn't help but think that I killed a middle-class monster.

Skill changes are even worse. Almost all skills have grown by more than one level. The fruit was even sweeter because the training had so far been difficult.

Before entering Jinma's Tower, there were now three superior skills. Goblins are old enough to defeat Trolls, werewolves, and lightning spiders, but not to defeat me now.

Strong.

Stronger.

“There's no time to settle down. ”

At that moment, Ei's words entered my ears.

“Fate is still weak. ”

“…… I know. ”

I was so excited that I had no time to enjoy myself.

But the effect was clear. I brought it back to life when I was trapped in an illusion that I could do anything.

Angry, but he's telling the truth.

I'm still weak. The A in front of me right now is also very annoying to me. But even that A is not the best in the world. There is no room for rest in my achievements now.

I almost forgot my place because I was so strong at once. I almost sat on the pavement and relaxed, forgetting that I still had a lot of road to go.

But now is not the time to rest. Not yet.

“Thank you, A. ”

“ ……. ”

Ai gave no answer. But I felt like I heard his answer.

Was he waiting for that moment? I had a notification window in front of my eyes.

[Quest Occurred!]

[You took your first steps as a predator. But there are still many monsters stronger than you, humans, and others. You have to become stronger faster to become a true predator.]

[More experience will make you stronger.]

[Normal Monster Hunt at Black Palace 0/100,000 Predatory]

[Top Species Hunting in the Black Palace 0/20,000 Predatory]

[Rare Top Species of the Black Palace 3F Hunting and Predatory 0/500]

[Powered Reaper Hunt & Predatory 0/1]

[Jinma Tower 2nd Floor Conquest 0/1]

[NACK's Garden 1st Game Won 0/1]

A notification window for the quest that was explained when you entered the second floor of the Black Palace by sharing it kindly with spiders and wolves. But now he was blurring out the words "common monster, superspecies, and rare superspecies."

What's that supposed to mean? Of course, that means that the types of monsters that appear from the third floor are significantly larger than the second floor. Monsters will become stronger in order of normal, top, and rare top species.

It was also easy to infer that the Power Reaper was the owner of 3F's boss room.

There are two remaining questions:

Why is Jinma's 1st floor the 2nd floor the one she targeted ten times?

And what is the garden of pleasure?

“Ah……. ”

“Go back.”

However, Ei declared that he had no time to ask me anything.

“I haven't qualified for the second floor yet. ”

“Wait. First floor was ten. Why second floor once? And what is the garden of joy? ”

“I'm not qualified. ”

“Huff!”

Along with his last words, I was really kicked out into 2F's boss room. All I could see was the dark passageway.

“I don't deserve it. ”

I only sharpened my teeth once. In anger at Ei for kicking me out without waiting for my word.

And I looked up at the dark passageway, beyond. In the darkness, truly nothing is different from Jinma's tower. A passageway that will take me to the depths of the dungeon.

It is also a training ground that makes me strong at the same time.

“Then you have to earn it. ”

In fact, I may not have to wait until I get what I deserve. If you go to a private store right now, you might hear from the rain about the garden of bliss.

I'm sure it will if it rains. At least we'll be able to get more information out of him than we do from "A." Rain is kind.Too much.

Rain comforts me. It always cares about me and gives me too much.

However, Ei's cold attitude gave me a chance to rethink the rain.

What if one day the rain dies? Now I am using the store as if it were natural, but who am I to blame for it disappearing without saying anything right now.

If I rely too much on the rain and can no longer get his help, then the blow I will take will be beyond imagination. It was imaginable enough.

You must not rely on anyone else to survive alone. It is pathetic to imagine yourself running around calling out the name of rain when something difficult happens. I had to be able to solve anything with my own strength.

‘Eventually all that remains is my strength. My quarrel. Feast. ’

And only the heart of darkness.

I moved my body to the beat of my beating heart.

To become stronger, to become predators, to qualify.

I flew into a dark passageway.
