Souta ate the Rotten Venomous Green Apple and the flesh of a level 20 above undead.

*Ding!*

[You've opened up one evolution path!]

[Processing information...]

*Ding!*

[Processing complete!]

[Name: Goblin Corruptor]

Souta didn't hesitate and choose to evolve to Goblin Corruptor.

[It will take five minutes to finish the evolution!]

A white light emerged out of his body and covered him like a cocoon. Souta felt tired all of a sudden. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

...

Souta slowly opened his eyes. The cocoon started to have a crack. The crack spread out quickly and the cocoon turned into dust.

He felt that a lot of time had passed but he knew that it was only five minutes.

*Ding!*

[Evolution Complete!]

[Goblin Corruptor: A very rare species of Goblin that have the power to corrode living beings.]

[All stats increased by 30!]

[Health increased by 50!]

[Stamina increased by 50!]

[Mana increased by 50!]

[Health recovery increased by 10!]

*Ding!*

[From now on your Agility, Dexterity, Vitality, and Intelligence attributes will increase by ten every level while Strength attribute will increase by fifteen every level!]

[All of your skills have level up!]

Souta heard multiple sounds in his head. The increase in his stats was great and from now on every time he leveled up the added stats weren't five and eight. It was now ten and fifteen.

He only had one health recovery rate but now it increased by ten. It means that had a base of eleven health recovery and it would be multiplied by two because of the effect of his trait [Extraordinary Body].

Then, his skills. All of his skills, no, precisely its combat arts, increased by one level. The weapons under the skill [Weapon Mastery] became level two while the sword became level three.

He didn't manage to level up his [Sword Mastery] to level three in these past two months. Leveling up skills through training was harder than he could imagine. Two months wasn't enough to level up a level two skill to level three.

Well, it all makes sense to him. His [Sword Mastery] skill was already on par with the second-year students of the Ladro Institute, and they achieved that level by training for more than a year. Souta could level it up using skill points, but he wouldn't do that. He would save his skill points for his spells. Increasing the levels of spell would make him closer to Rank 2 Mage.

His [Mana Manipulation] skill was now level three while his [Dash] skill was also level three. Lastly, his [Stab] was now level four.

Also, his newly learned skills had an increase in level. The [Cat's Speed], [Air Walk], [Triple Muscle Strengthening], and [Pet Bestowing Skill] became level two.

[Cat's Speed] was a combat arts that boost the user's speed for ten minutes by thirty agility and dexterity. It consumed four stamina per use. Now that it increased in level, the time limit increased by five minutes while the added stats increased by ten.

[Air Walk] was a combat arts that let him stepped on the air. This combat art took him more to learn than the rest. There's a limit to this art and that limit was that he could only take five steps in the air per use. It has a cooldown of five minutes before he could use it again.

[Triple Muscle Strengthening] was a combat arts that increased the power of his muscles. It greatly focused on his defense, damage reduction, and vitality.

[Pet Bestowing Skill] was art that will allow him to pass his skills to Yuko at the cost of losing one of its levels. If he passed his [Stab] to Yuko then the [Stab] would lose one level. If he passed a level one skill then the skill would be gone.

Souta was satisfied with this but he knew that there's still more.

*Ding!*

[Traits detected!]

[Mana Build]

[Alloy Body]

[Night Vision]

The [Alloy Body] and [Night Vision] was on the choice once again. The only difference was the [Mana Build]. [Mana Build] was a trait of a monster that increase their magical resistance by fifty percent.

Souta chooses the [Night Vision] this time. The [Night Vision] would be replaced by some random traits the next time he evolved just like what happened to [Extraordinary Body].

*Ding!*

[You've learned the Goblin Corruptor's trait skill!]

[Corruption]: Every basic attack was added by one percent damage to every living creature.

This was the trait skill of the Goblin Corruptor. As long as his opponent was a living being then his damage was one hundred percent stronger. Of course, it would not affect the undead or golems.

In this world full of living creatures, this trait skill was valuable.

Souta's appearance didn't change that much. Only his hair grew longer and his height didn't change.

"What the heck?!" Souta cursed when he found that he didn't grow taller at all. He wanted to become a tall, dark, and handsome goblin but... It seems impossible now that he was still short.

"Damn! If I could edit my appearance just like in the game then I would have done that since the beginning!"

*Ding!*

Souta level up three times from all the exp that he stocks up in these two months. He reached level twenty-three from all the exp he received.

Souta grinned and looked at his stats.

Souta was satisfied with the improvement of his stats. His base stats now were all over one hundred. Some of his stats even reached two hundred. It was a great improvement for him.

He grinned widely since version 2 was going to start soon. He needed to level up his [Shadow Bind] spell to rank up his class. His preparation for the upcoming version 2 was ongoing. The battle there was fierce and a lot of powerful people were going to make a move.

"The Demon Invasion, huh?" Souta murmured. There's a lot of opportunities when the demon attack. Also, he was going to run around the battlefield to collect the souls of the dead.

Souta noticed that there's a change in his appearance. He thought that nothing change about him.

He looked down at his hands and saw the color of his hand turned black. It turned into pure black. His nails grew sharper and it has a crimson color. The color of his hands faded when it almost reached his elbows.

He could see his red veins through the color of his hand. It was throbbing and it looks terrifying.

"These hands didn't look normal..." Souta said while looking at his hands. So the [Corruption] trait skill was coming from these hands.

Souta ripped apart his clothes and used it to cover both of his hands. He was going back to the city and he needed to hide the appearance of his hands to the public.

Suddenly, a pain assaulted his head. He fell down on his knees and grabbed his head.

"Argh!"

Souta screamed loudly as he couldn't handle the pain.

"Hmm... So you're a monster, huh? It's quite intriguing..." A feminine voice sounded in his mind.

Souta gritted his teeth and looked at the [Vajra Sword Saya] on his waist. He could see the [Possession] skill flickering in red light in the system.

The [Vajra Sword Saya] took the chance when he was recovering his memories to take over his body.

He gripped the sword with great effort before he threw it. The Vajra Sword crashed in the walls.

"Argh!"

Souta looked at the sword before he loses consciousness.

Roar!!

Yuko roared and approached Souta. She looked at him who was unconscious. She hugged his body tightly.
