Chapter 7 - Evolution

Alexander saw the absolute carnage that he wrought as he tried to peek down at the bear and felt queasy. Over the past few days, he had seen quite a few sights that the sheltered human version of him could have never stomached let alone cause but the longer he was on this world the more he fused the consciousness of the human him with the consciousness of the monkey him.

At the bottom of the cliff, he could see a giant bear with the front part of its body completely crushed there was blood spurting out from under the rock with every extra beat of the heart and slowly die down when the heart finally gave out and quit beating. All that was left was the lifeless body and the extreme amounts of blood. The blood splatters had easily reached five meters away before it became it started to spread sporadically and would even reach eight meters before the ground finally stayed dry.

After a couple of bouts of heavy breathing Alexander finally managed to pry his eyes away from the scene below him. 'Haah I must really start to get used to sights like this after all things will probably stay on this level or worse in the future and I need to stop getting stunned by it.'

[USER HAS GAINED TITLE THE ADMIRER]

'What since when is it this easy to gather titles! Damn this system really is just giving them out for free now!' Alexander was flabbergasted from the fact that the amounts of rewards from just one kill would be so plentiful.

'System show me my status please.'

'Damn the David title is going to be so helpful from now on but, why if there is no effect does that title even exist!' Alexander was cruelly reminded that the system was created by that useless god or at least that is what he expected. After all who else but the creator could give people the system it just seems like to much power to just be able to just be given out by anybody.

'Anyway, I guess I should try to find a good place to evolve. I'm quite exited to see what options I get even if I know not to expect too much from the system now.'

Alexander was looking for a good place to hide away for now as he didn't know how long the evolution would take but giving that it is telling him to find someplace safe it's probably not going to be instantaneous. and after about an hour of searching he came across a small cave probably about three meters in diameter and seemed to reach around ten to twenty meters back. There was just one problem though. The cave was occupied by a group of the small wolf creatures that he killed on the first day.

'Well, it's probably going to be as good a place as any. I guess I could even try out my new skill.'

Inside the cave there were around five wolves that he would have to get rid, so Alexander grabbed a couple of good sharp rocks and climbed one of the smaller trees around the cave. As he got into position, he aimed one at the wolf standing guard at the front of the opening. The wolf hadn't even noticed him yet when a rock was hurled at him at high velocity.

''Thump.'' The rock completely missed the wolf and hit the ground half a meter in front of the intended target.

''Awooooo!'' Immediately the wolf alerted his pack mates and all of them came out of the cave.

''Smush'' A wet sound reverberated throughout the field as the second stone hit the eye socket of the wolf in the front precisely. Even though it was a completely lucky shot it did an excellent job at frightening the wolves. Sadly, it did another thing as well, it alerted the wolves of the position of their assaulter.

''Thunk!'' Another stone made contact with a wolf and hit it straight on the head causing it to collapse on the ground. Using the same tactic Alexander managed to hit one other wolf and injure it but not take it out of the fight before running out of stones.

*DING* [STONE THROWING LV1>2]

With the joyous occasion of a skill leveling up Alexander jumped down the tree and scratch one of the wolves he had not hit so far killing yet another wolf. Only two were left with one being injured this would prove to be an easy fight for Alexander. Or at least that's what he expected but things didn't really go his way as it was still two against one not to mention that they were also a little bigger than him even if they were smaller than normal wolves, they were still the sizes of a husky.

As the two wolves attacked him, one from the front and one from the back, he managed to kill the one in front of him which was the injured wolf but at the same time the other wolf managed to bite down on Alexander's shoulder.

''Rraawr!'' Shaking its head, he completely shredded the shoulder until it completely tore of his arm leaving alexander with a gaping hole where a shoulder should have been.

''Aaaaaaaggghh!'' Alexander screamed from the pain but didn't forget to turn around to face the last wolf that was also growling into his direction. The wolf was the one who made the fist move running towards Alexander causing him to swipe his claws towards the fast-approaching wolf.

''Chomp!'' The wolf managed to get his other arm as well, but Alexander quickly closed the difference ignoring the pain from both his arms and bit the wolf in the neck for the first time in this life using his teeth to kill.

As blood filled Alexander's mouth, he bit down even harder. This caused the wolf to also bite down harder but as Alexander had the more dangerous spot and so managed to kill the wolf before the wolf could take another arm.

*DING* [Exp: 50 Points: 50]

*DING* [EXCESS EXPERIENCE HAS PUT TOWARDS BETTER EVOLUTION OPTIONS]

Struggling to free his arm from the jaw of the dead wolf as he barely had any strength left but after a couple of minutes, he managed to get it out. Or at least what was left of it with it being reduced to nothing but a bloody stump.

'Hopefully, evolution heals my arm otherwise I'm definitely going to bleed out!' Alexander stumbled his way into the cave and as he reached its deepest depths he called to the system.

'System commence evolution.' Slowly everything around, him went black until he couldn't even feel the pain from his arms anymore.
