Chapter 9 - Evolution 2

[Experience gained!]

[You've level up!]

[Skill points gained!]

[You've met the condition for evolution!]

"What?! I can evolve now!" Souta muttered. He didn't think that he would reached the condition for evolution this soon. He looked at the words and saw two choices.

[Greater Goblin]

[Hobgoblin]

"Hmm? There's not much information regarding this two. I could only based it on what I saw in the goblin nest." Souta muttered as he rubbed his chin.

Basically, the Hobgoblin is much more human like with great speed and power. Then, what about the Greater Goblin? It seems it's the adult form of an ordinary goblins.

Souta don't have much information as he don't want to risk his life using appraisal on the goblins in the nest. If he became a Hobgoblin then he will gained the speed and power like the leader of the squad. It's basically a good thing to him. He could probably kill a wolf in a head on fight if he became a Hobgoblin.

"Okay! I've decided that it will be the Hobgoblin! Right! Hobgoblin is the best choice right now!"

[Evolution commencing!]

Suddenly, Souta felt dizzy and he slowly fell on the ground. He fainted as a white light covered his body.

...

[Evolution completed!]

[All stats increased by 20!]

[You've learn Goblin Language!]

[You can now understand the Goblins!]

[Experience points gained!]

[You've level up!]

[All stats increased by 5!]

[Skill points gained!]

A day had passed Souta opened his eyes and felt something was covering him. He brought his hand to his face and peel the thin layer of fabric.

"Hmm? This is a skin?" Souta muttered while looking at it.

"Oh, Right? I've lose consciousness in the process of evolution." He observed his body and he felt stronger than before. He also became much more human like appearance.

He touched his head which was bald before but now it have a short black hair. He was taller than goblins and from what he remembered this height is as tall as the women back then. The color of his skin became darker than other Hobgoblins.

Souta looked at his stats.

[Name: Souta Kiyomi

[Title:

[Job:

[Race: Hobgoblin

[Level: 11

[HP: 88/88

[Strength: 61

[Agility: 58

[Dexterity: 57

[Vitality: 44

[Intelligence: 43

[Mana: 91/91

[Skills:

[Skill points: 600]

All of his stats increased greatly. To be exact it increase by twenty five. Not just his stats even his skills increased in level.

It seems that evolving to Hobgoblin raised his stats by twenty and leveling up will now increase his stats by five. It looks like the experience he gained from killing the Greater Isle Boa was enough to level up to eleven. Well, that monster was level 18 after all.

"Hmmm?" He noticed that there's new skills on the skill list. He decided to checked on it.

[Skill list:

[Sword Mastery: 500 points

[Archery: 500 points

[Stealth: 500 points

[Heal: 500 points

[Tough Body: 500 points]

"500 points?! It's so expensive!" Souta was surprised when he saw the points required to buy these skills. He still have 600 points and he could only buy one with his points.

It seems that he needed to think this through.

He's using sword so it would greatly help him if he bought the Sword Mastery skill.

He already crossed out Archery from his mind. He don't have any bow here so he crossed it out.

Stealth, it could help him kill the monster easily.

Then, the heal. Heal could heal minor wounds not deep wounds but it could still. Well, he already have the HP recovery so crossed out.

Then, the last one, the Tough Body. This skill could enhanced his body flesh for five minutes. It's a good skill.

"I'm not a vanguard at the group. The leader was the one who always fought the prey head on and we were only assist." Souta pondered as he rubbed his chin.

What he need right now the most is Stealth.

Since he wasn't the vanguard of the squad, he could only waited in the dark and kill his prey. He could use it to kill steal to gain more experience points.

"Alright, let's buy it!" Souta nodded to himself and use five hundred points to buy the Stealth skill.

He once again experience the same pain he experienced last time. The knowledge about Stealth was poured into his mind. He gritted his teeth as he know that this would only last a minute. After a while he took a deep breath as the pain was gone.

He gained another skill once again. He thought that since he already bought the stealth skill he should go down the path to become assassin. His way of hunting his prey were already assassin like. Maybe he would obtain a job assassin in the future.

"Okay, let's test it out." Souta said as he closed his eyes. He felt his body was blending in the surrounding.

After a few moments Souta opened his eyes.

"That's it!" He said while looking at the system.

He could see that Stealth consumed mana by activating it. It consumed one mana per minute. He have ninety mana in total so he could use stealth for one and a half hour.

Suddenly he heard a footsteps behind his back.

He quickly turned around and saw the leader of the squad walking towards him.

'That's right, I was too engrossed in the system that I forgot my surroundings.' Souta thought while looking at the leader. It seems that the leader survived the fight against the Greater Isle Boa. It seems that the leader already recovered. He don't know how much time passes since he lose consciousness.

The leader stopped in front of him and opened it's mouth.

"Come, follow me." The leader said.

"Wha..?!" Souta was surprised then he remembered the he received the goblins language as an inheritance in his evolution.
