Evan slowly opened his eyes while lying face-first on the cold floor of the hall room.
He slowly tried to sit up but he felt completely exhausted like he just ran a marathon, Evan sat up with difficulty and was confused at first why he is feeling so exhausted.
Soon memories of what happened before he passed out came into his mind and Evan looked in the hall for the black smoke but he didn't find anything, Evan just saw a mountain of dust a little far away from him, that was formed after the statue and the platform turned into dust because of black aura that erupted from Evan's body.
But suddenly Evan felt something is not right because for some reason he felt his vision is much better than before and he can see things much more clearly than before.
Evan was confused at first but then he remembered the cores that the person who took his physique away gave him, he looked to his right side where he remembered the black smoke dropped something.
Evan saw a ring placed near him when he saw the ring Evan's heart skipped a beat, he slowly picked up the ring with trembling hands and looked at the ring closely, when he confirmed what it was he closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Hahaha" suddenly Evan burst into laughter "this is really a storage ring I can't believe that devil gave me a storage ring I can easily sell it for a hundred thousand credits "
Storage rings are not rare in Arora world but only rich people can afford them, Evan who barely saved thirty thousand credits to buy a potion after working for two years can never imagine to buy this ring but here he got it for free
Evan quickly put a drop of blood on the storage ring to link it with himself, after linking the storage ring with himself Evan quickly checked how many cores the devil gave him.
"This" Evan's jaw almost dropped to the ground when he checked the storage ring there were nearly fifty cores inside the storage ring.
Evan nearly died because he entered the dungeon to get three cores but here he got a storage ring and fifty cores just by sacrificing that useless physique.
"Was that devil a moron he healed me then gave me a stronger ring and so many cores just for that useless physique" Evan said with a speechless expression.
"Did he really take away my physique?" Evan said with a doubtful tone and opened his status window.

"What is this monarch core rank?" Evan asked after seeing a new term in his status window but he continue to look down till he saw his physique.
"What" Evan shouted with a shocked voice after seeing a new name in his physique details.
Just as Evan looked at the shadow monarch physique some details appeared on his status window.
--) Shadow Monarch Physique:- One of the forbidden physiques that exists in the world. It allows you to form a monarch core inside your heart. The monarch core can absorb 100℅ power of a core. While absorbing the core there is a 3% chance that you will receive a skill of the monster from which the core was extracted.
Boom!!!!
Evan felt like an explosion happened in his mind when he read the details of his new physique because it is common knowledge that a person can only absorb a maximum of 50℅ power of a core and here he is reading with the help of his new physique he can absorb 100℅ power of a core and there is even 3% chance that he will receive a skill from that core.
"It's just_" Evan was lost for words because previously because of his physique he wasn't able to improve his power but here now his new physique can improve his power at the fastest speed possible.
But Evan quickly calm down because there are many things that he didn't understand first how he got this physique, second what is a forbidden physique, third what is this monarch core inside his heart there were just too many questions and no answers his head started to ache just thinking about all of this.
"Wait why can I see the details of this physique?" Evan said while looking at the details of his physique because in the past when he had shadow physique he was not able to see any details related to it.
Whenever he tried to look at its details he was only able to see question marks and nothing else but now for some reason, he can see the details of his new physique Evan didn't understand what happened after he lost his physique.
"Monarch core I remembered I felt like my heart is going to burst apart before I passed out was it because of this core" Evan said and tried to sense something strange with his heart.
Evan closed his eyes and focused his mana on his heart suddenly the picture of his heart appeared in his mind and Evan was able to see a pitch-black ball size of a rice grain slowly rotating inside his heart.
"So this is a monarch core that can help me absorb 100% power of a core?" Evan said doubtfully because this core was just the size of a rice grain how can it help him to absorb 100% power from a core?
Evan looked at the storage ring that he received from the devil and took out a red core from this it was a fire core that must have been taken from a fire-type monster.
All cores inside the storage ring were D rank, Evan took a deep breath after taking out the core "let's see can I now absorb cores that are not shadow type" Evan said and imbued his mana in the core to refine it.
Just as Evan imbued his mana in the core orange fire-like wisps started to appear around the core and moved toward Evan's body.
Evan looked at this with nervous look because if his body absorbs these wisps it means he can now absorb other cores as well just like normal hunters but if he wasn't able to absorb these wisps it means that nothing changed for him.
The wisps slowly came near his body and were absorbed by him, Evan's eyes sparkled when he saw this and in just one minute the core disappeared and Evan felt his power improved a little.
"I was just able to absorb 30% power of the core", Evan said when he wasn't able to absorb 100% power of the core.
"Is this physique also a scam?" Evan said when he wasn't able to absorb 100% power of the core.
