At one of the holes inside the empty cave system. Where the entire place was covered in silence and the only visible things were the lights coming from the floating Small lesser nature spirits that were scattered all over the place.
"Maybe this place is enough, I don't want to go too deep inside. I don't want to get stacked inside the hole because my body got bigger. That would be a humiliating cause of death."

"I'm gonna put the available skill points on my offensive skills because I'm a madman and hope that I would never take damage that could easily one-shot me to death. They can't kill me if they are already dead, right? A dead monster is a zero-damage monster."
"Hmmm."
"By the way, Gailee, this skill called Mana recovery, I don't think I'm gonna need this. I already have infinite mana I can use, Isn't this skill just a waste of space? Can I get rid of this skill?"
[Affirmative.]
[Deleting skill [Lesser mana recovery level 1.]
[The skill was converted into 1 skill point.]
"Wow, so fast. You really are the best, Gailee!"
"And now."

"Look at that stat! Isn't that great? What do you think, Gailee?"
"Gailee?"
He sounded an exaggerated cough. "And while we're at it. Let's start my evolution shall we?"
[Affirmative.]
[Initiating evolution process.]
"Bring it on!"
The light on his body flickered rapidly as he slowly lose his consciousness. The light completely turned off as his body descended to the ground.
The mana around the place started to gather on his pearl-like body. White particles gathered around him and fused with him.
Unlike the first time, the entire procedure of his evolution lasted for only 5 days, which was 8 days before.
The cocoon that covering him in the entire process began to move.
A new entity was awakened.
Far stronger and far devastating.
He activated his Fire magic to remove the cocoon that covering him, and at the same time the light on his body slowly lit up in bright white light, which was far brighter than before. His 1-centimeter body grew to a 2-centimeter ball of light.
"Could someone give me a coffee?"
[Evolution complete.]
[Due to your evolution.]
[Skill [Lesser HP Regeneration Level 1] was acquired.]
[Lesser HP Regeneration.]
[A skill that will grant the user a small amount of physical body automatic healing effect that is applicable even in battle. The healing effect varies depending on the level of the skill.]
[Due to your evolution.]
[All your current skill's level was raised by 2.]
[Congratulations, traveler.]
"I feel like I'm still half asleep. How long did I sleep, Gailee?"
[Five days and 7 hours.]
"Woah, The evolution process was much shorter this time. How's my status?"

"Hmmm."
"Nature spirit, for some reason, I did expect my next evolution name to turn out like this. I mean the pattern is pretty apparent. At least it has already gotten rid of the words lesser and small, I guess."
"From the looks of it, all my skills improved a lot. All of my skill levels increased by 2. Talk about huge growth, and I received 3 skill points by evolving which is considered as leveling up, does that mean starting from this point, in every level I get, I'm going to receive 3 skill points each?
[Correct.]
"Look at that, new skill? HP regeneration? Let me just put my available 3 skill points to HP regeneration. This skill would be handy for many situations."
He floated towards the entrance of the hole.
"I felt faster now than before. Is this improvement has something to do with my evolution?"
[It was due to Skill [Maneuver] leveling up.]
He activated his wind magic and flew with great speed.
After a few minutes, he arrived at his destination. An enormous hole that would lead to the higher part of the cave system.
He darted his gaze to the path. "I remembered when I'm on my way to this body, I went through multiple floors before reaching my destination, There's a great chance that the monsters at the higher floors are far more powerful than the ones in here."
He flew towards the path.
"Nevertheless, I would rather gamble there than to stay in here and wait for my boring end."
