[Mutate Claws to Strengthened Claws (Cost +30 Biomass)...]
[Mutate Teeth to Strengthened Teeth (Cost +30 Biomass)...]
[Mutate Skin to Strengthened Skin (Cost +30 Biomass) ...]
The moment the last chime rang in his mind,the pain assorted him once more,but this time,it was as painful as early.
After the mutation he swiftly upgraded the new mutations and his three skills to a +10.
"And here goes the pain..."

Marg held his urge to mutate his skills as he was in no possession of any skill points.
"I need to quickly level up..."
The idea of luring creatures and mind controlling them to fight for him, even though it was for a short while was quite enticing.
After the itching pain ended,he moved on to upgrading the said body parts.
If by upgrading a mutated body part to +10 increases damage by a factor of ×10n, imagine combining that with a +10 skill related to the said body part.
A couple of hits would be enough to slay a tier one creature,and if lucky enough to fill a critical hit,the damage dealt would probably be enough to one hit them.
With this much power,it was time for Marg to take the battle on the creatures doorstep,but first, it was time for a little itching...
[Upgrade Strengthened Teeth to +10....]
[Fifty-five biomass points deducted....]
[Congratulations, Strengthened Teeth has upgraded to +10.]
[Mutation unlocked....]
[Enhanced Teeth: Stronger,sharper and enables fusion of mana into every bite, increasing damage while dealing extra magical damage .Cost 120 Biomass Points....]
"What...!"
Marg had prepared for the mutation to be something crazy but not by this much.
Now each of his normal attack would be able to deal an extra magical damage.
[Upgrade Strengthened Claws to +10....]
[Fifty-five biomass points deducted....]
[Congratulations, Strengthened Claws has upgraded to +10.]
[Mutation unlocked....]
[Enhanced Claws: Stronger,sharper and enables fusion of mana into every attack, increasing damage while dealing extra magical damage .Cost 120 Biomass Points....]
[Upgrade Strengthened Skin to +10....]

[Congratulations, Strengthened Skin has upgraded to +10.]
[Mutation unlocked....]
[Enhanced Skin: Denser,tougher and enables fusion of mana to defend against attack .Cost 120 Biomass Points....]
Marg hadn't planned on it,but he ended up spending three hundred and sixty more biomass on mutating his body parts.
All this was possible,all thanks to his patience and will to sacrifice short term power gain over long term power gain,also the fact that he had reincarnated, with his previous intelligence and memories intact.
If he had hatched as a normal goblin and blnot a reincarnated soul in a goblin's body,he won't have had the patience of amassing hundreds of biomass before evolving as to boost all the upgrades,heck even had the brains to utilize pitfalls and reinforced fences and even the mass crafting of weapons.
As the itch and pain of mutating and upgrading washed over him,he had a final look at his status panel...
Name:Marg
Race: Goblin (Superior Brood)
Level:0/10
Mana:100%
Might:7
Toughness:4
Cunning:33
Racial Skill:Craft Mastery +3
Mutations: Enhanced Teeth, Enhanced Claws, Enhanced Skin
Battle Skills: Superior Siren Screech, Superior Death Claw, Stun Bite, Archery +3
Mana Skills: Mana Manipulation +1
Scouting Skills: Scouting, Superior Trap
Crafting Skills: Inspect,Excavate
Skill Points:0
Biomass:1,960
He had spent a total of seven hundred and thirty-five biomass on a single evolution, still he had other skills to level up, unfortunately,these skills didn't require biomass but rather consecutive use.
Marg was silent as he caculated the of biomass he would need for mutation and upgrades during his next evolution,into a juvenile goblin.
He still had to purchase six more mutation and upgrade them to + 10,as well as purchase an enhanced version of each, before evolving and upgrading all his mutations to a + 20 as well as the three skills.
Everything totaled up to two thousand five hundred and five biomass points.
Thanks for his patience in amassing biomass,he was less five hundred and forty-five biomass points,but this didn't mean he was going to slack off,as his third evolution would see him spending not less than seven thousand biomass points.
Done with the mutation,Marg left to clean up the pit falls,his harvest has been declining but he didn't mind,now that he had the ability to contest against these creatures, though still from a distance.
After stuffing himself with close to two hundred points of biomass,he equipped his bow and quiver full of allows after checking on his still incubating egg.
"Grow well little one..."
Marg parted the egg as he covered it with dry grass and dirt in one of his dugout hideout.
He picked up the half drained core and left for the tree near the original entrance.
He picked this tree as his watch tower,for most of the creatures outside the entrance were low leveled and tire one. He didn't care for the halved experience points or the biomass that would be lost to the rest of the creatures,all he wanted was to train his Mana Manipulation Skill and Archery Skill to maximum.
He had noted that after leveling and mutating Trap to Superior Trap and Dig to Excavate,no amount of digging or setting trap, even those complicated and complex ones would gain him experience points,a clear indication that these two had already reached their limit.
Even after evolution,no change had taken place.
Clearing his mind,one quiver strapped on his back,this time one crafted from leather,and two more hanging on a branch beside him,Marg drew his bow and let loose, straight into a Camo's eye, drilling dip into it mind.
It didn't even take a second for the other creatures nearby to pounce on the fallen Camo,tearing it's carcass into chunks within seconds.
