Evolution
I've managed to escape the adventurer party and keep getting peed on by Horned Rabbit.
This is an act that I have no choice but to perform in order to raise my level.
The higher my level, the less I had to pretend to be dead in front of those cheeky adventurers.
Well, I guess it's the same thing anyway, since I'm pretending to be dead.
Tity-tiin*!
Thanks to being peed on continuously, I seem to have raised my level again.
Let's take a look at the status for the first time in a while.
Race: Skeleton lv.10
Occupation: Hero
Titles: Immortal, The Man Who Remembered Too Late, A Hero Despite Being a Bone, Man Without Luck
Skills: Super Concealment, Immortality, Appraisal
Magic: 1st rank light attribute magic.
Strength 35
Luck 3
HP 65
MP 120
Somehow, I can use magic.
1st rank light attribute magic is magic that can only be learned by light attribute occupations such as clergy, saints and heroes.
It's not a magic that a dark attribute skeleton can learn, but... is it okay?
However, if I could use the recovery magic heal of the 1st rank light attribute magic, it would be useful in case something happens in the future.
When I get injured, I can heal myself, and I can fight in more reckless ways.
Come to think of it, there was a crack in the tip of my toe bone.
Let's give it a try.
"1st rank light attribute magic! Heal!"
The moment I use the light attribute magic, heal. Severe pain runs down my feet.
"Ugyaaaaaaaaaー!"
(Bone language)
"Ugigigigigigyiiー!"
In the 5th level, where unexplained screams have been heard recently, the loudest and most unpleasant scream so far echoed throughout the level.
My feet hurt like they were burning.
The crack in the bone of my feet melted and missing, instead of healing.
Why?
Ah...!? Come to think of it, I heard something when I was an adventurer... that healers are invincible in dungeons where many dark attribute monsters appear.
The reason is that light attribute magic is a weakness for dark attribute monsters.
I'm a hero, so it's normal for me to learn light attribute magic.
After all, It was strange that a skeleton with the characteristics of the dark attribute could use light-attribute magic.
Anyway, when should I use this light attribute magic?
The more I use it, the more damage I will receive.
By the way... are you telling me to attack my kind?
It's true that if I can use light attribute magic, I'll be invincible when it comes to defeating skeletons.
It's easier to defeat a skeleton with light attribute magic than to defeat a Horn Rabbit while being peed on, and it might be better for my mental health.
Besides, if I stay on the 5th level any longer, I might not be able to control my urge to eat human flesh.
"Yep. This means moving to a floor where dead spirits are prevalent!
In the dead spirit area, I won't be able to eat fresh meat, but it's better than eating human flesh.
If I remember correctly, the 21st level should have been the dead spirit level. I can be invincible there!"
(Bone language omitted)
In this way, I said goodbye to the HornED Rabbit's flesh and moved to the 21st level, where the dead spirits are prevalent.
ーーーー
"Hyahaha! I'm STROOONG!"
I'm currently unrivaled on the 21st level.
As I continue to defeat high-level monsters, my level increases rapidly.
Tity-tiin*!
I heard the sound of my level going up.
It's been over a week since I arrived on the 21st level, and I've been defeating higher-ranked ghosts and liches.
I decided to take a look at my status for the first time in a while.
Race: Skeleton lv.30 (can evolve)
Occupation: Hero
Titles: Immortal, The Man Who Remembered Too Late, A Hero Despite Being a Bone, Man Without Luck
Skills: Super Concealment, Immortality, Appraisal
Magic: 1st rank light attribute magic. 1st rank fire attribute magic.
Strength 65
Luck 3
HP 110
MP 219
"Oh! I can now use fire magic. And I've finally reached the level where I can evolve!"
I do a little dance (bone dance) and quickly scroll through the status screen to see what i can evolve into.
[Evolve from skeleton to ghoul or unique skeleton]
"Kuh... this is..."
I never thought there would be two options.
I'm having a lot of trouble, but...
If I evolve into a ghoul, I'll be able to get the flesh I've always wanted.
But... in my opinion, I think the ghoul evolved and became a skeleton......
[Why do I have to go to the trouble of degenerating when it's evolution?] That's what I think. In fact, skeletons are just a little stronger than ghouls.
But I want flesh.
"I’m in love with flesh!"
I exclaimed, remembering my desire for flesh.
Calm down, me.
Meat is meat, but it's rotten meat, right?
If I turned into a ghoul, it would be really bad.
Wouldn't it be better to become a unique skeleton instead?
Unique skeletons are special individuals.
In the next evolution, there is a possibility that it will evolve into an even more special individual.
It doesn't have any flesh, but it might grow into an amazing individual later on.
"Okay! I've decided. I'll become a unique skeleton!"
I made up my mind and tapped the words Unique Skeleton that appeared on the status screen.
Suddenly, everything in front of me turned pitch black, and I lost consciousness.
