Amidst the desolate expanse, which is a little bit empty of monsters I open the notification of System.
YOU HAVE REACH MAX LEVEL

Do I even have a choice I complained to myself as I clicked on the YES option.
SEARCHING FOR AVAILABLE EVOLUTION
AVAILABLE EVOLUTION FOUND....

AVAILABLE EVOLUTION FOUND....
NUMBER OF EVOLUTION FOUND - 4
As the series of notifications ceased, four options materialized before me, akin to a floating window. Two of them have E+ RANK while the other two have E RANK
I browse through the options, examining their descriptions. In Evolution, ranks are insignificant because I must take the longest and highest path, not the shortest and fastest.
Goblin warrior - A brave warrior goblin walking to the path of the goblin king.
RANK - E+
Goblin shazam- A gobin walking on the path of curses and soul.
RANK - E
Goblin mage - A variant that surpasses the intelligence of a normal goblin and acquires the power to utilize mana in various forms.
RANK - E+
Hob-goblin - This is the evolved species of the goblin obtaining better power and wisdom
RANK - E
Based on the available options, it seems like choosing Goblin Warrior is the best course of action. However, it's worth noting that this creature is on the path to becoming a Goblin King. While that may sound impressive, the Goblin King is only a RANK D+ monster, which means that choosing Goblin Warrior might not be the most beneficial decision in the long run.
That leaves me with the other three options, but since two of them belong to the mage class, which is not suitable for my main class, I will have only a single option left as a choice.
Hobgoblin is the evolved version of the goblin species and does not have any special characteristics but it is the only evolution that changes the species.
Looking at the interface of the system that is floating in front of me, I clicked on the panel for Hobgoblin.
YOU SELECT THE HOBGOBLIN
GENERATING QUEST
COLLECT 50 F RANK MANA STONE - (0/50)
(MANA STONE - STONES FILLED WITH MANA THAT ARE USUALLY PRESENT IN EVERY MONSTER
- SLIME HAVE MANA STONE INSIDE THEIR CORE)
I know I am going to break my promise of not hunting slime in the future but it will be so soon I just don't expect this.
Looking inside my inventory, I found that I have collected 36 mana stones so far. It seems like a sufficient amount, but I am now regretting destroying some of the mana stones with the core.
I pick up my sword and start hunting again but as I kill slime I don't get the experience notification I kill 2, 3, and 8 till I collect all the remaining mana stone but I don't get an ounce of Xp.
YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE QUEST
MANA STONE F-RANK (50/50)

Y/N
I am going to click on the yes option and continue the evolution but it may not be better to continue not here as I do not have any safety measure
Leaving the dungeon I walk straight to the hotel where I checked in already as Tanya.
While standing alone in my hotel room, I checked for any cameras, even though it was illegal to spy on customers. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Taking a deep breath I open my notification and continue evolution by clicking on the yes option.
The air is filled with silence as the system notification starts flooding.
EVOLVING INTO HOBGOBLIN

INCREASING THE MANA DENSITY
CHANGING STRUCTURE
I felt a sudden, intense pain that made me feel like my flesh was being ripped apart and my bones were being bent.
"Blood was falling on the ground as I continued to vomit blood."
The burning in my body goes beyond what I can describe. The feelings are going off, and I am losing consciousness.
THE NEXT MORNING
Looking at the bright sun, I stretch my body and feel better than ever before. It's not just about being filled with energy; something fundamental has changed inside me.
At that moment, I was unaware that my body had undergone several transformations to reach a new state and completely alter its structure. This shall be my start toward the… ######.

______________________________________
Although the numbers didn't change significantly, I was able to cross the wall of the F rank and reach the power of the E Rank. It's not the value of the stats themselves that makes a significant difference, but rather crossing a certain threshold that provides a sudden and significant boost in power.
It is sweet to gain more power but it feels awful to lose my appearance even if it is little by little.
When I look in the mirror, I don't want to speak anymore. I wish to transform myself into Tanya and I did it subconsciously.

NOT CHOSEN PATH CAN BE VIEWED ANY TIME
When I look at the system notification, I close my eyes and let my mind go silent again. I suppress my emotions, including joy, sorrow, or any other blizzard of running emotions
Acquiring more information and skills is beneficial, but I believe my current limitation is not a lack of skill, but rather a lack of mana to use them. Ice domain and ice manipulation require a significant amount of mana, and I am uncertain if I possess enough to use them effectively. To maximize my chances of success, I plan to invest all my points in mana until I reach level 9, which will allow me to utilize these abilities more efficiently.
"As I begin to think, I enter a deep state of mind."
Ghost silence takes over the room, and a single tone of sound of the moving gear becomes clear with the silence in the room.
Looking at the single source of a realization struck my mind
I am late, I burst through the door with all my might with a single thought of getting late on the first day
Waking fast in the street No I am running in the street E rank maybe not much as a hunter but it is fast to travel through unconventional ways.
As I cross another park I can see my destiny it is not much *fart... aaaaa... *FARTHER
As I was lost in thought, someone lifted me in a bridal carry.
The next thing I saw was a young man with white hair, dark eyes, and a perfect face as I reorganized the man.
GuildMaster, before I speak further he shut me up.
He cut my sentence by saying, "Hold tight, we'll be there soon".
hu.... I said in confusion but it was already too late as the Guildmaster had already leaped in the air.
As I gazed out at the breathtaking view from our observation point, I couldn't help but feel like we were soaring through the sky, even though we weren't actually flying.
If I were a girl I am sure I have already fallen for GuildMaster but unfortunately, I am not, He was doing all this in vain if he liked me.
Do you like me GuildMaster? I asked out of curiosity without having any second thoughts.
Wha ... what? Zypher gets frustrated and he loses his balance.
I was stunned when we crashed, but the worst part was that it happened right in front of the Raid team that was waiting for us. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed.
Even though I am not a real girl, it still feels embarrassing.
I start mummering uncontrollably and losing control of my mind and start to feel wiggling.
As I begin to stutter uncontrollably, my mind feels like it's slipping away from me, and I experience a sense of restlessness that makes me feel like I'm wiggling.
As I regained consciousness, I felt a large hand fall on my shoulder. When I looked up, I saw a huge man standing in front of me. Soon, more hands fell on me, and all of them seemed to be supporting me.
WHAT? This is all I can say but others who can see my messy clothes are getting the idea it is way too wrong.
I looked toward Zypher, who came forward to resolve the misunderstanding, but it looks like it is not going to be resolved any soon. At this moment, I am just silent due to shock, confusion, embarrassment, and many other emotions that are raging storms inside me.
This experience will be engraved in my memory as one of the darkest chapters of my life, casting a shadow not only over me but also over Zypher.
