"Oh, sorry about that. So it's Polymorph, huh? How can you learn it? Tell me how!"
"It's simple. I ate a treasure that boosted my stats," Ethan explained casually.
"Really? What kind of treasure? Do you have more?" Golden Hand asked with great curiosity. An item that could increase base stats was a prized possession, and he definitely wanted one for himself.
"Well... there's the Fruit of Life, the Heart of the World Abyss, the brain of a Devil Overlord, and..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Golden Hand quickly interrupted. "If you don't want to tell me, fine. But seriously, the brain of a Devil Overlord? You can't tell a story without exaggerating, can you?"
"Believe it or not," Ethan shrugged. He was telling the truth—eating those things really could boost one's base stats.
"Alright, we've divided up the loot. I owe you 399 gold and 9 silver, right?"
