I closed my eyes and started to focus on taking in the nutrients. I was shocked. I didnt know I was capable of such feats not for seconds or minutes but hours. Was it because i am a tree now ?
Three hours later, the system rang. I came out of focused state and listened to what the sound was about.

I finally leveled up. I leveled up after 10 hours of coming into this planet. I started to look for the changes on my status window and see what changes the level up brought me.
The 0 behind my level was replaced by 1. I had gained 0.5 exp now i only needed 11.5 exp to level up again. It was weird because exp points to go from level 1 to level 2 should have been more but it increased by 2 only. Is it because of me being a tree? I tried to question and get ans from the system but the system remained silent so i gave up.
All of my stats related to strength, health, mana increased by 0.3 and mobility increased by 0.009. This little increase increased by hp and mp by 30.
The most shocking thing in all of this was my attribute points. The attribute points were special. I could assign it to any stat I wanted. I thought attribute points would also be less. I thought it would be around 0.7- 1 but i had 2 attribute points now.
Without a second thought I added it to my mobility stat. The word cannot move was bothering me too much and i wanted to change as fast as possible.
DING........
My attribute points were assigned. My mobility stat soared and went up to 2.01. The word cannot move also changed and became partially move. I was pondering what it was talking about and the system voiced.
ABLE TO MOVE BRANCHES TO CERTAIN DEGREE BUT CANNOT MOVE WHOLE BODY.
I had figured that much out because the stiffness i felt a while ago was not there or was greatly reduced around my branches. I swung my branches and swoosh sound could be heard. I was closer to my goal of being able to move.
I looked at my status window and saw the word evolvable behind the word sapling. I grew a little after the level up but i was still a sapling. The word evolvable was there from the begining but i only noticed or tried to know about it now.
I asked the system what does it mean and it answered.
ABLE TO EVOLVE INTO
1. TREE SPIRIT
2. DRIUD
3. GUARDIAN SPIRIT
4. MAGICAL BEAST
5. ELF
AFTER BECOMING A TREE AND OBTAINING THE NECESSARY MATERIALS OF FULFILLING THE GIVEN CONDITIONS.
I asked about the materials and conditions for evolving but i was given a silent treatment by the system. The things i could evolve into were weird. I was a necromancer tree and things i could evolve into were all related to life and nature nothing was related to death.
THE PATH OF EVOLUTION IS TAKEN BY ONESELF.
POSSIBLE TO EVOLVE INTO THINGS WITH DEATH TRAITS BUT DEPENDS UPON PATH TAKEN.
THE ABOVE SEEN ARE THE COMMON EVOLUTION PATH OF A MAGICAL TREE.
So how I grow will determine what I will be.
AFFIRMATIVE....
Its same like on earth. Ones environment, how one was treated or ones path of growing would turn a person into a completely different than he was imagined to be. So I could evolve into different things if I could do things necessary to trigger the evolution path of that thing.
I thought for a while but there was nothing specific i could think of. I wanted to be a human again but the system said it was impossible. I will not be able to transform into a human being but was able to transform into beings like druids, elfs that looked human.The thought of being able to walk on my legs made me happy and I focused on levelling up again.
