There was nothing else to do, but to do it..
("I choose |Forsaken Spirit|.") [Solace]
"|Forsaken Spirit| has been selected. Do you wish to proceed?" [Spirit Guide]
("Yes.") [Solace]
"Confirmation accepted. Processing." [Spirit Guide]
As I awaited my evolution, the Spirit Guide let slip something that had me a bit on edge.
"Processing complete. Verifying installment. Pain numbing, false. Beginning installment." [Spirit Guide]
("Pain numbing what- Agh!") [Solace]
Pain, so much pain. It felt like being electrocuted while being pricked by a thousand needles combined with getting beaten by all sides. It was so overwhelming that I honestly didn't even know how to describe it.
"Installment complete." [Spirit Guide]
The pain subsided, allowing me a short break.
("Is that it…? I don't feel that diff-") [Solace]
"Scanning integrity. Reinforcing integrity..." [Spirit Guide]
"Urgh!" [Solace]
And so it began. The pain returned and I was sent back to having convulsions. If I was still human, I wouldn't be surprised if I started foaming at the mouth.
"Integrity reinforced. Initiating quick scan… Error, reinstallment required. Beginning installment." [Spirit Guide]
"Wa-wai- Gah!" [Solace]
At some point, I lost track of time. It was filled with "re-installment" that, or "verifying" this, so I pretty much stopped thinking. It was not until I heard a certain line that everything was over.
"...Evolution complete." [Spirit Guide]
At that moment, time began to move. The axe that loomed over me began to pick up speed, meaning I was about to get cleaved in half.
"Oh, yikes!" [Solace]
I dashed out of the way, somehow full of newfound energy. Not only that, I suddenly realized a few things.
"Huh? I… I'm talking?! I can speak now?!' [Solace]
My voice rang loud and clear. It was very familiar to me. My voice was like how it was back on earth, you know, before I died.
"Ah~. Hello~. Testing testing, one, two, three." [Solace]
Though it was like my previous voice, it was a pitch higher. Even so, I wasn't bothered by it since I could now speak aloud.
"Ure terama querasamos!" [Demon]
The demon yanked its axe from the ground, pointing at me while babbling on about something.
"Translation: You've changed little fairy." [Spirit Guide]
("I've changed?") [Solace]
I thought to myself as to what the demon meant, so I took a good look at myself.
"Wha-?! I have hands! And feet! Do I have a face?! I need a mirror!" [Solace]
Turns out, I had limbs. Shiny, yellow, arms and legs. I pretty much became human. Unfortunately, I was still really, really, small.
"Puree stana halfardo!" [Demon]
"Translation: Don't ignore me." [Spirit Guide]
The demon swung at me, but it somehow seemed a bit slower than before. Using my floating powers that I still don't know it works, I nimbly evaded the attack.
"Catch me if you can, sucker." [Solace]
I darted around him like how I did previously, but I wasn't going to slam him with my body this time.
"Let's see how you like my fist!" [Solace]
I slammed my fist into the demon's face, sending it tumbling backwards onto his back.
"Oh, that felt good~. God, I missed having hands and feet." [Solace]
The powerup was immense. I did recall the |Forsaken Spirit| having much higher status in exchange for not being particularly good in any element, but I didn't think it would be that much.
"Let's have a looksee at my status shall we? |Analyze|!" [Solace]

After seeing those numbers, and comparing it with my own, there was only one thought I had.
