After having inspected my body when I evolved, it was time to check the gains, and I had received a certain good amount of them, as System Windows popped up constantly, showing the changes that the evolution had brought to me…

I had gained six… yes, six new skills out of absolutely nowhere! And to boot, they all sounded pretty amazing! Although the majority had to do with poison, I was totally alright with that! It even allowed me to be capable of absorbing it? I should check all these Skills in detail… But first, time to check my own Status… I want to see some big numbers now, so don’t disappoint me…

And they did! They increased by a whopping thousands! My Mana is already at 18k and my Magic… 20k?! What! I could quite literally blast anyone I want to death with that deadly attack! And oh? All my Skills leveled up once through the evolution, this must be the evolution Skill Level Bonus. Now, what else should I do?
Hm? Darkness Sphere has become Level 10 out of nowhere, I still remember it as my first ever offensive Skill… Now its at level 10! I think level 10 is the max, but there’s no other Skill? It won’t awaken or something? What about a derivative skill? I guess having Shadow Spear Arrow was already good, and Dark Gale… I suppose it won’t become stronger than that.
Every Skill seems to have a cap I suppose, I might as well try it out now…
A gigantic sphere of darkness materialized from within the darkness surrounding me, as it utilized a bit of Mana for its creation… Wow! I can see that’s how Skill works in this world. The higher the level, the stronger they become but the more costly they get, the “bit” of mana was around 300 Mana… I remember that it used to cost way less…
Oh well, I recover almost a thousand Mana per second, so that’s nothing, I could literally spam this overpowered Dark Spell, which seems to be the lowest tiered Darkness Attribute one, and make my way through. I wonder if my progress is fast or if someone else in this little time I’ve been a ghost has already reached a Level 10 in a Skill?
The System answered me rather swiftly. It appears that Level 10 Skills are super rare. Even if we count this low-level magic spell, it appears people wouldn’t concentrate as much as me… Oh well, I also got the cheat of Mana Siphon which allows me to absorb Mana from a target, so maybe I can spam skills way more than normal people or monsters can do. Additionally, my affinity with this element is superb due to being a Ghost with the Darkness attribute after all.
Nonetheless, my progress was faster than normal people because I can evolve as a monster, also my own System appears to give me evolution options and bonus stats and so on, things that other normies cannot get… So of course I am special, I am amazing, in fact…
…Okay, let’s stop being cocky.
Looking at my new Skills I found out I had suddenly gained the Poison Attribute Characteristic Skill which wasn’t announced… The System actually answered me the reason.
