hmm..., Evolution uhh?..., So I am not dead?...

I don't know if I should be sad that I am still stuck in this hellish world or be happy that I managed to keep my life despite that hurdle I just went through?...

no, no, no...., I shouldn't be like this. In times like this is when I should be positive and not negative. Even the system said it, I have evolved.... That should be a cause for me to celebrate not dying and rather taking a step to guaranteeing my survival.

I do feel my body becoming lighter and stronger. Not sure how, but that is how I feel. It would be better if my left arm can also be restored like the rest of my body issss....

It.... It is back, My left arm is back...., Not only that, the hole that the claw mantis made in my stomach has also close up. Is this the effect of the evolution stuff?....

hmm..., I wonder what else has changed with the effect of evolution?.

My hand seems to have grown longer, and my nails as well, What about my leg?...., they do not feel so babyish anymore, does that mean I can now walk with it?..., I should try it out.

"..."

wow....., Guess I can really work now, and I feel my whole body has also gotten bigger. I have to say, evolution sure is amazing.

Instant Regeneration of lost body parts, Nullification of body fatigue and rapid growth?. Damn, I sure am digging the perks of this so called evolution.

I am sure something like that will not happen frequently, after all, my luck is never on a positive vibe with me.

If I remember correctly, i evolved after I leveled up three times... My level was in seven back then, add three more level will bring me to level ten?...., It seems the evolution stuff needs me to level up to ten for it to activate.

While it is good, I do not necessarily believe my deduction to be completely on point. The benefits of evolving is too good for it to only require ten level for activation. There has to be some sort of draw backs to every evolution that occurs.

Like the system said earlier, it congratulated me on my first evolution,

that got me thinking...., what is the catch?....

It sounded exactly like the first time I wanted to have the borrowed debt in someone else's name transferred to my name. Before I signed the document, I was treated comfortably and was attended to in a nice manner, thinking that I was only going to be filling up the position of a guarantor for my boss.

After the transference documents were signed, their attitude on me took a three sixty degree.

Going with such thinking, this evolution stuff seems even more suspicious.

With the settings of this world that seems to put me in a near death state, and I am supposed to believe a miracle that will whisk away my pain will come for free?..

Never....., I am not that gullible enough to believe in such nonsense.

[understanding of evolution Attained]

[enlightenment has leveled up]

[enlightenment Lv4]

[Evolution > An act that transitions the user into an higher form of the same specie. The needed level requirement is increased after an evolutionary cycle has occurred]

I knew it....., you think you can fool me, but turns out I am smarter than you thought,

You ever heard of a saying, too good to be true?.., Well that is what you did. You made the evolution too good to be true, and turns out it really was too good to be true.

I would be a fool to fall for a scam like that. Well I did fall for it when I was with the loan sharks, but the point is,

Fool me once, shame on you and fool me twice, shame on you again. Or is it shame on me?...

Great, now I have managed to understand what evolution is and also leveled up enlightenment. It seems my luck is not as bad as I thought it was. Come to think of it, I thought I saw the system made mention of a new skill.

where....?, found it. Thorn of death?...., A skill that brings out small spikes from my body and in return for pain, I get an higher defense?

....?

how did I get this skill again?....
