As the sun begins to rise from the horizon, illuminating the entire world with its warm rays, and that includes certain places that have...beautiful views? The once beautiful place was now filled with the rubble of half of the enormous cavern that once surrounded it like a natural fortress as if protecting whatever was inside.
And on top of one of those rubbles right now, there was a beautiful girl who looked like she was still 12 years old sleeping soundly on it without caring about the world. She had snow white silky fine thread-like hair that reached the middle of her back, and her delicate and petite face gave off an innocent feeling at first glance, Her petite figure with B-Cup breasts is so visible that when she grows up she will make any man or woman fall in love with her, and last but not least, that is, there were four semi-transparent white wings with bright blue stripes that looked like dragonfly wings on the back of her currently naked body.
Not long after, the girl's eyes twitched slightly indicating that the girl was about to wake up from a beautiful dream...or a bad dream? soon...
~*~*~*~
Ugh
Too bright, let me sleep a little longer...
"Ayana close the curtains, I'll be up in five minutes" I mumbled and tried to go back to sleep, but there was no response unlike what she would normally do, and instead, numerous notification sounds were ringing in my head like crazy...

Instantly my eyes opened wide.
"Whaaaaaaaatt?! don't name someone as you like!" I shouted in a high voice because I was very surprised, I immediately looked at the notification window and read them one by one.
After I finished reading it, I let out a proud sigh and held my nose high, on my face was an annoying arrogant smile that would piss you off just looking at it.
After my arrogance subsided a bit, I decided to also take a look at my status out of curiosity about the improvement...

...
Wow, this is a huge improvement from last time! Let's check whatever descriptions are in it one by one...
[Devour]
[A skill created directly by the Creation Goddess of Barithea, Astrea, specifically for the individual "Eirlys". This skill allows the user to gain the most identical skills from any creature it eats.]
[Greater Ice Spirit]
[Is a semi-spiritual race that lives by absorbing the surrounding mana to form its body. This race was at the intermediate level of the spirit, but by being a variant and depending on what the main element was, it had the potential to even beat the level of the race above it. The variant has a huge potential to grow in the future]
[Spirit Body: Partial]
[A skill possessed by most spirits, this skill allows a part of the user's body to enter into a spiritual state resulting in physical attacks being useless]
[Spirit Wings]
[This is a skill that all spirits possess, a skill that allows you to get closer to nature as well as manipulate it. This skill can also make it easier for you to blend with your magic]
[Advanced Ice Magic]
[Ice type magic is the strongest and rarest magic in the world let alone evolved, only possessed by a few individuals because it has no method to obtain it even with hundreds or even thousands of years of understanding and can only be obtained with a very high soul attraction to the ice element other than that, ice magic is very strong and very difficult to control]
[Obsidian Skin]
[Makes the user's skin as hard as obsidian (Passive)]
[Super Strong Jaw]
[Makes the user's teeth and jaws stronger which can even tear apart things much stronger than steel (Passive)]
[Advanced Mana Manipulation]
[This skill makes it easier for the user to manipulate mana from inside and outside the user's body when making magic, and makes magic more efficient and faster to cast, not only that, mana manipulation also cuts the cost of using a magic by seven percent at each level (passive) ]
[Instinct]
[This skill increases the user's sensitivity to whatever is around, thirst for blood, vibration, poison, air, smell, or danger (passive)]
[Inspect]
[This skill allows the user to check the status of the target. Increasing the level will reveal more stats on the target]
[Boost]
[Accelerates the user's speed by 10 by using his 10 MP/min]
Title: [Blessed by Creation Goddess of Barithea, Astrea]
[A title that belongs only to certain beings who are directly blessed by the goddess. The advantage of this title is to multiply the XP earned and expand the evolution options in the future]
[Named by the Creator]
[Title that can only be obtained by someone who has been named directly by the Creator. This title also benefits the owner by making it easier to acquire whatever skill the owner is trying to learn (+100 Status point)]
[Crocodile Slaughterer]
[Killed more than a thousand crocodiles (1087/10000)]
...
I was completely dumbfounded by the upgrade, but it didn't last long as my arrogance really pierced the sky now.
"Kya-hahaha! I'm invincible, no one can beat me!" I said that in the most arrogant voice I've ever heard that I didn't even know I could get out of while starting to pose in a weird pose.
...
..
.
After who knows how long, I finally managed to calm down.
Hmm, it's a much bigger improvement than I expected, and my race description explains why I'm not as hungry as I was last time I thought because I evolved into a semi-spiritual being, you know, in certain slime novels it's explained that a semi-spiritual being can survive. for months without food but still able to eat whenever they want which I really appreciate.
The next skill I'm excited about is [Spirit Body: Partial], it can make you immune to physical attacks even if it's just a body part that sounds really cool. When I tried it, it felt like your soul was coming out of your body which felt a little weird, and when I opened my eyes I saw that the right hand I used to test it became transparent with a very beautiful bluish-white color, and when I tried to hold the small debris beneath me , it went straight through him as if there was nothing there, which made me smile happily.
After turning it off, my eyes darted to [Spirit Wings] which had only slightly increased description which I didn't know what it was for, and when I tried to activate it…it didn't happen. With a slight sigh I proceeded to the next skill that excited me the most, which was [Advance Ice Magic], and after reading the description my arrogance slightly rose…which I immediately held back, and as I tried to imagine a small ice lump to appear in my hand, it appeared almost instantaneously and felt so much more natural than before that I barely even felt anything at the time of its appearance. Deciding to try as far as I could with ice magic, I started imagining the appearance of a spear that appeared instantly, taking a closer look at the spear, I saw that it became a beautiful 5ft long spear which was slightly taller than I had estimated 4.8ft. The spear still looks the same as before but with the addition of two smaller sharp edges next to the sharp end in the center of the largest, making the spear shape like a trident. I tried swinging it a few times and was immediately amazed by how comfortable it was in my hand as I couldn't even feel the weight of the spear at all, after trying a few more swings, I suddenly had a great idea on how to test my limits in using ice magic.
I walked a bit to find the ground a bit flatter than the others and started swinging the spear gracefully and twisting my wrist to spin the spear while using my other hand to add momentum and starting to spin the spear faster around my body, the swing was so fast and graceful making it hard to see with the naked eye and looking like it was dancing rather than swinging to be used to kill something, after being like that for a few seconds, the spear changed shape in the middle of the swing into a double-sided sword with a thin blade that looked like a rapier and I immediately switched styles at mid-swing with the sword style I remember, and after a while, it changed shape again in mid-swing to resemble a western sword with a thick blade and started swinging again, but this time I used [Boost] and coated my body with mana, and before long then I instantly felt the power spread throughout my body. If previously my swing was difficult to see with the naked eye, now my swing is impossible to see with the naked eye, in every graceful swing it is very deceptive because it has such deadly power and speed.
~*~*~*~
I kept swinging with weapons that alternated from shields, scythes, katanas, daggers, axes, even Dao (this is the name of a machete from China). After 30 minutes I stopped the swing and started fixing my ragged breathing, looking at my status bar...

I grinned happily at that, and immediately jumped in joy forgetting the pain all over my body.
"Yahooooo! As expected of my great self" I shouted happily.
When the excitement subsided a little I sat down and looked at my other skills, after reading all the skill descriptions, in the end it was just an improvement from the previous one, but I couldn't test [Inspect] because there was no target I could find, but when my eyes fell on [Super Strong Jaw], my eyebrows and lips twitched slightly.
"Can't you name the Skill to make it sound cool?"
(Author: Too much damn complaining! I'm busy right now too, be content with that!)
"Hmmph!" I snorted while looking away.
...
After that I looked at the title and started reading it, I was a little surprised by the (+100 ststus point), and finally understood why I got skills so easily and at the same time curious about [Named by the Creator] because I had guessed that it was would say [Named by Creation Goddess of Barithea, Astrea] but in the end I just shook my head and started thinking about what to do next.
Almost instantly, I came up with the plan I've been wanting to do for a long time which is, kill the crocodile boss and leave this damned place to start looking for ayana!
"Heh, as expected of my genius self! Prepare yourself cursed crocodile, I will skin you to the bone later! And also wait for Ayana, I will find you soon!" I said as a wide grin started to form on my face, and started walking towards the intended boss.
What's clear is that I don't know what will await me in the future...
