บท 22: Chapter 22 – Fifth Evolution.
…
…
(Hm?)
(Oh…. Daylight…. I lost consciousness…)
(Oh… I must have completed the evolution…)
"…"
(Oh…Wow. I grew in size again.)
The deerwolf, or should I say the great deerwolf has evolved into a much larger version of its self.
The great deerwolf body was now much larger, at least 2 times of its original size.
The creature fur and leaves were now dark green. However, the leaves themselves had a brighter tip, giving its mane a unique and interesting appearance.
The monster tail become larger as well its mane.
Not only that, the creature entire head was now covered in the shell like plant as well.
The creature horn also grew in size and were noticeable thicker and sharper. Not only that, their color changed from light green to white and the tips of it were slightly bright green.
(Wow.)
(I grew a lot. I'm quiet big right now, aren't I?)
(Hm…. It seems I didn't changed much, expect my fur being darker and my body being bigger.)
(Honestly, I want to go find something that can give me my reflection and all, but not now.
(First thing first. Status.)

[Unique Skill]
[ [New Evolution] ]
(Huh… Wow. A lot of skills either leveled up or evolved.)
(Not only that, I got bunch of new skills as well.)
(…)
(Most of them appear to be a passive skills.)
(However, the thing that stands out the most for me is this.)
(I can feel the mana I can posses got much bigger! The size and density of my own mana increased by a lot!)
(This is nice, very nice!)
(Not only that, but my race name is weird?)
[Race: Nature Dark Forest Great Plant Deerwolf]
(My name doesn't have "Nature" or "Dark Forest" but a "Nature Dark Forest"?")
(Hm….)
(Lets check my skills and see how much they changed.)
(…)
(…)
(Nature related and magic related skills got stronger, while skills related to physical combat and defense got powered up?)
(Wait. So, by any chance that answer was correct?!)
(Did both variant ended up affecting me at the same time?!)
(HOLY FUKING SHIT!)
(My unique skill is even more broken than I thought!)
(I can not only take a two evolution paths, but I can also take two variant option and have both benefits affect me!)
(This way too broken!)
(Last time I took the [Wild] variant, some of my skills ended up being affected by it and I could pick again wild variant last time, but this time it was fused with paths and wasn't a variant, expect for the deerwolf. So, I guess picking the variant affects your future choices?)
(Does that mean that I get benefit depending on my variant type each time I evolve, until I change it or something?)
(If so, picking variant are quite important. It maybe not as important as evolution, but because they can affect some skills. But for now, both dark forest and nature variants are useful to me.)
(Anyway, mana detection!)
….
…
(My detection range got much bigger….!)
(Mana source that is bigger than monsters!)
(Fuck. There is 3 of them.)
(I can guess with ease that they are humans!)
(They are close to the area that was that centipede hunting grounds.)
(Tch. Those guys must have informed them about me, huh?)
(Good thing that I took the great plant wolf path. I should be much faster now….)
(…Hm…)
(Should I kill them?)
(That centipede monsters killed adventures and I killed the centipede monster.)
(Not only that, I evolved.)
(I should be strong enough to kill and eat all of them, without letting a single one of them escape!)
(…)
(No.)
(It's better if I run.)
(True. There is a good chance that I killed them and all, but since they knew already about me, they will realize that I maybe was responsible for killing them.)
(What if they send an stronger adventures next time that would be able to beat me?)
(Fuking with humans right now is still dead sentence to me and especially when there could be a settlement very close by.)
(It's better if I try avoid fighting any humans in this forest in order not to have my self get an wanted poster or something.)
(Unless I have no choice or situation is too annoying, I won't hesitate to kill a human. I would also have to watch out if my target is alone or are we located near settlement.)
(Anyway, lets run.)
(Its time to head to the deeper parts of the forest.)
I once again began running through the forest.
Thanks to my mana detection, I was able to avoid all the adventures that were present in the area with ease.
My body may have grown larger by a lot, but it felt… Powerful.
Not only that but my entire body was tougher.
I just rammed through some random monsters without a care and didn't suffered any real damage.
Anyway, I run and run in order to find myself a new hunting grounds, but the monster I encounter so far were kind of…. I killed them with one hit.
I went deeper and deeper into the forest in order to find a suitable hunting grounds.
However, no matter how much I ran for, I couldn't find any suitable hunting grounds for me.
It was getting bit annoying.
I ran for hours, trying to reach the deepest part of the forest, but before I realized, I was already at the very edge of the forest.
"?!"
(STOP! STOP! STOP!)
(Shit! Shit! SHIT!)
(…)
(Fuck me. I almost didn't managed to stop in time.)
(Anyway… Did I managed to get to the end of the forest!?)
(…)
(I see grass field… and a road!)
(But no humans in sight….)
(…)
(Okay… Let's assets the situation.)
(By the look of things, I ended up traveling through the entire forest, meaning that there are no monsters stronger than the monsters I encounter before in here.)
(There is also a fact that humans now know about me and they even send some people to maybe look for me.)
(The monsters here are easy to hunt, but do not provide enough EXP.)
(Not only that, I still need to practice my magic and considering the current situation, this is a bad place to practice magic.)
(…)
(I guess it's time.)
(Its time to finally leave this forest.)
(Honestly, I still have no idea about the world I was reincarnated in, but if I want to develop and get stronger, it's time to leave this place.)
The deerwolf reluctantly began approaching the forest edge before then putting its feet down and then walking out of the forest slowly.
The deerwolf nervously looked around, trying to asses the situation before then fully walking out of the forest.
The deerwolf began slowly walking away from the forest before then looking back.
The deerwolf once again looked towards in front before then walking and slowly speeding up before then starting to run at full speed through the fields of grass.
(Wow!)
(This feels great!)
(Normally I didn't had that much freedom while running around in the forest! But this is!)
(It feels nice running like this!)
(No wonder dogs likes running around!)
(…)
(Before I realized I was already standing on the road, huh?)
(…)
(With way should I go anyway?)
(I don't have map or anything nor I think I will be given one by some humans, since I'm a freaking monster.)
(Should I then kill a human that is traveling around?)
(…Maybe not? I don't know how far the nearest settlement is. But it would be good if I had a map or something.)
(Still, would I be able to understand what is written on the map? This is another world and all, so there is a good chance that the maps here are literally nothing alike to maps that were in my world.)
(Still, it should be good if I had a chance to see one. Maybe they are something like a simple maps, considering that this is medieval fantasy world?)
(However, I need to consider the fact that I'm no longer in the forest.)
(I could be spotted from afar right now and what if humans are ridding something like horse?)
(Hm… Yea. Staying in the open here is quite risky. I got to find something like a new forest with stronger monsters I can hunt or something.)
(Using a road maybe dangerous, since I may encounter humans by accident, better option is to just go away from the road.)
(No wait…. Fuck. I don't have any food.)
(I did filled my stomach with some monsters, but what would happened if I don't find any source of food on my travels?)
(Will I encounter any animals or monsters I can eat?)
(…)
(I don't see anything in there.)
(I could hide some food in my mane, but… Wouldn't it spoil? Would I be fine eating rotten food?)
(…)
(Fuck. I guess I have no choice but to hunt for the humans to in order to fill my stomach.)
(This is a road and all, so I maybe will encounter some traveling humans.)
(It will make a mess and alarm people, but I have no choice.)
(But the question is about my hunting grounds?)
(If I were to go down the road, wouldn't I end up arriving at some sort of settlement or something?)
(Too risky.)
(Honestly going against humans when I don't know how strong their settlement or how powerful people life inside it is too risky.)
(If I can grow by evolving and other stuff, the humans must have their means of getting strong. Like something like classes from RPGs, like priest, warrior, rouge, archer, mage and hero.)
(There are things like levels and skills, so humans having classes wouldn't surprise me one bit.)
(That girl used some sort of light magic in order to create that blinding light that took away my vision from brief second, meaning that humans are also able to learn magic.)
(If so, then it even worse idea fighting them.)
(What if humans posses some sort of training method I don't know about that helps them understand and use magic better?)
(Yea. Fuking around with humans right now is WAY too risky.)
(But considering my current situation, if I want to survive, I will have to eat humans.)
(I possess new skill called [Lesser Hunger Resistance], but how effective it is really? Not only that, but my body got much larger, meaning I need to consume more food than before.)
(This is no matter of choosing or not. I have to take the road.)
(It's extremely risky, but I have no choice.)
