Chapter 101: Soul torture

This looked like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity… And this notification didn't seem like it gave me much of a choice. Still, I'd lose half a million EXP if I agreed immediately. Maybe I could put it into my abilities first…

I chose to delay the upgrade and opened my character sheet, only to find myself unable to level up anything, as well as buy new abilities. It was like my EXP was frozen… So there really was no choice at all.

I spent the next hour spinning more webs to protect myself from the outside world. Something told me that the transformation of my main ability would be a painful and long process. I caught myself a rat to eat, and when this was done, sat in my hammock and waited.

The notification was there again.

[Congratulations! A possibility for upgrade had been detected. 'Devourer' will be upgraded to 'Absolute Devourer'. All your current EXP will be used in the process. The upgrade will begin now.]
