I feel quite strange, where's my personality?
Agh, I wish I could take a warm bath.
Wait, I am immune to cold, why would I even need that? Am I a retard?
Oh, it's back!
I guess when I evolved I felt too dizzy, but now my energy is coming back to my head, fufu.
I am back to how I have always been!
And indeed, just as I said to myself a few milliseconds ago, I have evolved.
My size is now around 2 meters and 50 centimeters, way bigger than before, but not as big as the damn bear.
My scales got thicker, now I look like I am wearing armor.
My ice crystal spikes are looking pretty sharp as well, and I am overall quite heavier than before.
My neck is as long as before, maybe a bit longer, and I can see from above quite sharply with my amazing eyesight, I can even mentally scan anything around a few meters from my position through this amazing perception I acquired through the evolution of my senses.
I can also sense that my Mana Core got pretty thick and big, probably having the size of watermelon now.
Damn, that's huge.
Will it keep getting huge as I evolve?
Hmm, I wonder if I can get a human form like all those cliché novels I always read?
Wouldn't that be too terrible though? People like the monster part!
But if I plan to deal with people, that might be smaller⦠maybe getting a humanoid form to speak with them would be good.
I don't want to intimidate them with my monstrous size!
Maybe if there are giants they wouldn't be intimidated.
But I doubt there is anyone bigger than me that is not a monster at this point, intelligent races often never reach above 2 meters in most fantasy stories.
Well, I can't help but like the idea of looking at burly guys from above and tell them "Oi, move aside shrimp!"⦠That would be cool.
No, no, no, I can't be so unpolite, I don't want to bring trouble to my doors.
I want a quiet life of adventure, so no thanks, I won't be provoking people left and right for no apparent reason other than being an asshole, that's not how I am at all.
But if they mess with me⦠well, they might become frozen statues, hahaha!
Maybe this power is getting into my head.
I think I got a few new Skills, but I should just check my Status to see everything new.

Oh yes, this is it.
Look at those stats, hot damn.
And Peak Stage? Wasn't the bear Upper Stage? So by eating his giant Mana Core I got to Peak Stage right away.
Damn, talk about fast progression and cheats.
I am literally cheating the whole game now, pack it up guys, I am about to finish this game by myself.
Most of my Skills leveled up, even the Resistance Skills I have never trained! Is it because by evolving, my body becomes naturally more resistant to these elements?
Maybe.
Alongside that, I got a few new Skills, which seem quite useful.
I got Parallel Mind Thought Processing, the legendary skill that lets you have more than one mind inside of your head and do multi-task.
To an extent, I have been multi-tasking for some time already, getting this Skill seemed obvious.
Now, I can do it even better I guess.
Although the split mind I create is not really like in the Spider Isekai, it is just there to obey me, but it is not talking to me or something.
And then, there's this Skill⦠Telepathy!
What?! Isn't this the most cheat Skill ever for a Monster like me?
Why did I even get this?
Wait, perhaps by talking to myself so much and developing my mind through High-speed Thought Processing? No way⦠So that's how it is?
Well, or maybe not and I am just speculating.
Nonetheless, and whatever the case it is, you are welcome!
Whenever I find some goddamn people, I might try to speak to them⦠Wait, I should first learn whatever language they speak throughâ¦
That might provide to be harder than I originally thought.
Additionally, I got this legendary power that these monsters had, Berserk Mode, but in a Skill! So it can even grow and level up, way better than whatever these monsters had.
How did I even go about it? No idea.
Maybe getting angry triggers it, or perhaps simply by evolving.
And lastly, I got two new Resistances, Hunger and Fear Resistance!
I can see why I got themâ¦
I have been resisting fear a crap ton since I was born here, and also hunger, I always get hungry.
In fact, I am terribly hungry now, so I begin eating the bones and fur left by the carcass of the bear.
Way better than eating bitter herbs I find around, and the bones come with some bone marrow, so they are not half bad.
As I eat, I think about what to do next.
The area around me is the same as ever, pine trees, snow, some blue-colored herbs, and that's it.
But as I glance down, I can see that the ground I am goes down like a hill, and the forest continues down below.
I guess I am slowly getting out of this forest, but it might expand a bit down there.
I will eat all of this and then march down there.
I am Peak Stage, so maybe I am finally unrivaledâ¦
And I can catch a break while eating and killing whatever I please!
No, I don't have to get cockyâ¦
