"The children of the goblin are very weak, but they are very vengeful. What you did was horrifying for them and according to the stories from our ancestors, they tend to have a single life goal….to kill the person who took their everything from them."
Amil looked at her with shock. Those weak goblin kids will come after him? He did not take it seriously as he previously saw those kids shitting their pants in front of him in fear.
"I have never been in this kind of a situation so I don't know what will happen but be careful in the future," Kamil said in worry.
"So…this is the reason why your aura has changed."
"What change, the leader also said something about this," Amil said with a frown. Kamil looked at him for a while before responding.
"You see, when someone lives many life and death situations, their personality starts to change becoming more ruthless. The aura around them that was once pure, carefree, or calm becomes filled with ferociousness and that makes the aura sharp and suffocating. It happens with veterans who fight alone, and the same aura is on you. Yours is even filled with bloodthirst."
Amil listened to her carefully, all the things she said were true as he had already faced many life and death situations alone.
"…..What do I do then?"
"You just have to let go of the things that are making you like that. Is something going on in your mind?"
Amil thought about what was going on in his mind that made such physical changes. He could not find anything wrong so he continued his journey's narration.
Kamil listened to it calmly but then she heard the word ogre.
"Are you sure? Because this is a very serious matter" Kamil asked seriously.
"The ogres are less dangerous than the other evolutions but are strong, even I will have problems killing it, but the tribe can handle it, you did a good job coming back safely." Kamil patted his shoulder in satisfaction. Amil sighed in relief finally understanding that he was safe now. Kamil looked at the changes in the aura becoming less intimidating and chuckled a little. She smacked Amil's head hard before saying.
"How can you be so dumb to get kidnapped by a stealth bird?"
Time flowed quickly with Amil getting scolded by his mother. They stopped talking when they found that 2 more people had come to welcome him. Zach was out of breath, huffing with tongue out like a dog, Pumpkin was still moving slowly with many bulges all over the body.
Zach looked at Amil for a while not being comfortable with the changes. But he shook his head ready to welcome his master.
"AMIL!" Zach shouted as he came near him. Amil couldn't help but chuckle at his childish behavior.
"I see you have reached level 5, Zack. Good job." He patted his shoulder, Zach felt joy after a very long while interacting with Amil again.
"You are level 6 now! That was very fa- "
HISS!
Amil saw pumpkin trying to coil around him but the bulges of various corpses inside him did not help much.
"I see you have not changed much you glutton!" Amil grabbed pumpkin by his body lifting his head up in the air. The glutton snake had increased his length. His skin was tougher than before. Amil couldn't help but inspect him.

"You have become strong, Pumpkin! Those stats! Those skills…. holy shit…Hm… what's devour?" Amil became very happy with the progress of his snake. But the devour skill was something unique to him. He opened its description and got dumbfounded.

Amil couldn't believe what he saw. The skill was too good to be true, Amil saw the various bulges on Pumpkin that were decreasing every second, but the flesh was just in too much volume.
"Mom, do you know about the skill devour?" Amil asked with mixed emotions. Kamil thought for a while but shook her head in response.
'I should not tell her right now then'
He inspected Zach after pumpkin excited to see his changes.

'He's strong too. Crafting? …... Hm…. now that I see...' Amil saw a crudely made leather shirt and trousers on Zach. Realization struck him that Zach had been moving with tattered clothes all this while. The leather wear looked like that of the monkey and the boar with some wolf hide. He shook his head and started thinking about the important matters.
'Fuck now that I remember, I haven't checked my stats for a while now….'

"I'm fucking strong haha-"
SMACK!
"LANGUAGE!"
He shook his head and started thinking about the important matters.
'I will look into it in more detail later…..' He thought.
"I was called by the leader after meeting you, tell father and sister that I will join them for dinner when they arrive." He was just going to leave but stopped due to Kamil's words.
"Wait, young kobold, I will inform the leader, you just try to calm your aura a little. Have you tried meditation?"
Amil looked at her in disbelief.
"Mom…..you're a geniu-"
"You are just too dumb my child. Sigh…..I will go now"
Amil saw his mother leaving with a mild smile. He felt very good being back home. He talked with Zach a little until realization struck him.
"Where's Fluffy?"
Zach's mood became a little gloomy at the question, even the lazy gluttonous snake hissed in anger.
"He has made a new family…Amil" Zach said with a snort. Amil frowned at the answer. Made a new family? He didn't understand.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Sigh….it was the breeding season for the wild boars when you left…...even we got to know after a while. He even has a small male boar child. It's only 5 days old right now. Maybe that's why he did not come to meet you."
Amil's emotions became complex. Fluffy had a child and he bred too even without his master's permission. But one of the things said by Zach annoyed him more so he retorted.
"Even if he has a child now, you will not call his child 'it', do you understand?"
Zach nodded in understanding. He did not really want his master to get angry when he just came back with his own problems.
Amil waited for his family to come. He had too many things to say to them.
