[Congratulations, host, on reaching level 15! Strengthening host lower leg!]
As Sasaki reached level fifteen, his lower legs began to transform. It was a grueling process, unlike anything he'd felt before, a total nightmare. This transformation was different than hand and feet transformation.
As Sasaki reached level fifteen, his lower legs began to transform. It was a painful process, unlike anything he'd felt before, a complete nightmare as if a thousand souls were dragging him into the depths of hell through his legs. This transformation differed from the changes in his hands and feet.
The bones and muscles in his lower legs seemed to shift and rearrange themselves, causing waves of extreme pain to shoot through his body. Despite the agony, Sasaki gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, determined to endure the transformation.
With each passing moment, the pain grew fiercer, starting from his lower legs and spreading through his entire body. Sasaki's face twisted in a pained expression, sweat dripping down his brow as he fought to stay on his feet.
His breath came in ragged gasps, and his muscles trembled with the strain of staying upright. Yet through it all, he persisted, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists in determination.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the transformation began to slow. The pain didn't fully subside, but it became more bearable, like a slow march through the desert, each step stretching endlessly toward the horizon.
Sasaki took a shaky breath, his body trembling with exhaustion. Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked down at his lower legs, which now appeared stronger and more resilient than ever before.
With a blend of relief and disbelief, Sasaki cautiously flexed his newly transformed lower legs, testing their newly strength. Despite the lingering discomfort, he couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction at the results. He knew that enduring the pain had been worthwhile, at least for now.
When he relaxed, he stood up to see the benefits. His eyes widened in amazement. He jumped up and down, feeling more power in his lower legs and much less pain. He ran to the end of the goblin den entrance. His agility had improved twofold, and he could run much faster. His jumps were twice as high as before.

[Expand More]
As Sasaki glanced at the updated system interface, he noticed a new icon labeled "Expand More" on the main panel. Intrigued, he tapped on the icon, and in an instant, a new system interface unfolded before him.
The heading of this interface read [Attributes Panel], indicating that it represented the basic stats of Sasaki.

After receiving multiple system notifications, eagerly focused on the skill level-up messages and new attributes panel.
"Now, let's see the benefits at level 2," he muttered, opening the window to view the skill description of "Epidemic Eruption" at its upgraded level.
"This is sick," he chuckled, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he read through the enhancements. "At level two, trap formations rise from one to two, plus a 10% stat reduction of enemies."
"And with a 10% reduction at level two, it means a 50% reduction at max level," he exclaimed, his malevolent smile growing wider. "This isn't just a normal AOE attack; it's at the level of an Epidemic spread."
"Imagine in a war," he mused, his voice tinged with a dark amusement. "No one will escape this Epidemic-level widespread area."
"Even if the enemy has resistance, it will still affect them and spread from one enemy to another, continuing until no one is left," he finished, his laughter echoing in the dimly lit den.
With a triumphant laugh, Sasaki raised his head high, his hands spread wide open in half-fist gestures of victory.
After perusing all the unread notifications, Sasaki exited the goblin den, scanning the surroundings for new opportunities to level up and grow stronger. The plain land stretched before him, but as he prepared to move on, he realized that night had descended upon the land, and fatigue began to wash over him. It was time for rest.
Sasaki cautiously slipped back into the goblin den, now emptied of its inhabitants, and decided to make it his temporary place for the night. His stomach growled, reminding him he hadn't eaten in ages.
He rummaged through his supplies, finding nothing but a few pieces of goblin meat. In a desperate move, he kindled a fire by striking two stones together and burning dry leaves on the ground. With the flames crackling, he roasted the meat over the fire.
"Mmmm... Mmmm..." he murmured appreciatively between bites. "Surprisingly tasty... Juicy and tender, just like it needs some salt."
After finishing his meal, he stood up and exited the goblin den to test his new skill, "Raven Summon."
