Evolution Process FinishedYour evolution process already finished. It takes about 2 and half hours to completely dissolve and reconstructed to a whole new frame, additional 3 hours given for you to rest and adjusted for your new body.
+Bigger brain has ben developed to follow your body frame.
+Your body now is in form of arachnid, spider-kin to be precise, because the DNA you got from your last prey. It deemed to be more useful to have a reliable and fast movement capability.
+Your keratin ability give you ability to cover your body with keratin to increase your defence capability.
+Your body fluid control and neurotoxin poison let you create more potent and concentrated poison, paralysis effect will be increased greatly. It also let you to spray your fluid through your fangs.
+Your Body fluid control and keratin will let you regrow part of your body if destroyed. Only possible if body recieve damage under 10%, and Head cannot be regrowed!!.
+Webbing Gained
-Let you produce webs from your abdomen.
+Minor Night Vision Gained
-Let you to see slightly better at places that lacked light.
"Aiko here, Congratulations for your first evolution, now try to tear apart your cocoon and start collecting DNA again"
'Oh yeah, so that was it about, that i evolved, now lets get out of here'
'Um, what's with this silence, not even any sound of the annoying cricket, did sun already set? Anyway lets search for food I'm starving here. Hmm there is some sweet smell in the air come from that way.'
Its turn out to be some sort of spider carcass. I still eat it though, taste like chicken. After that i try to climb a tree to get a better view of my surrounding. Looks like i'm inside a forest, because i can't see anything other than tree.
'Oh there is a gecko there.'
After that i keep hunting for small thing, like bug, gecko, bug and another gecko, but the paralysis poison was so usefull to lighten my hunting. A little nip will make all creature in my size went limp almost immediately. Oh and the spray was fantastic, all creature that try to run bathed in yelowish fluid that come out from my fangs and went limp immediately.
Well i had my share of fun until a creature like squirell chase my as* off, i ran like crazy, thankfully there is a crevice that i can hid on, after a few minutes i came out to see it was gone, and thankfully yes.
'wew that thing huge, 4 times larger than me probably , but why squirell has fang, aren't they nut eater? Well whatever as long as I'm safe.
And then i notice a glittering thing in the opposite tree from me, after carefuly moving in shadow, i arrived at a large canopy.
'What the heck is this green thing?'
Tring
Foreign substance that contains high concentrations of Mana detected, its advisble to immediately to be consumed
'Uhuhh, if you say so! Its kinda tough to chew but taste like bacon.'
Tring
Foreign substance turns out to be some kind of scale of Reptilia Class, contains high concentrations of mana,calsium, and keratin.
+Due to those trait its possible to create bones to become vertebrate, but you still need to find other sources of DNA that is necessary to evolved to a proper body frame.
+Mana already infused to DNA, while at that mana will be produced along side your blood. But your present state proven to be unable to control mana, so you will likely to be affected by external mana source, effect cannot be determined, but its likely possible you will undergo unnecessary mutation, advisble to avoid that, for the result cannot be predicted.
+Keratin Production upgraded, now its possible to create sturdier yet flexible substance
'Wow cool, a jackpot out of nowhere haha, i must have high luck'
And then suddenly i felt a chil, something watching me. I'm turned around to see if there is something, but the presence suddenly disappear. I got sudden chills in my spine though i don't have one, then something move in shadows of forest, making the sound of leaves that rustled because something pass through them. What if the squirell comeback? 'If i couldn't find any places to hide, i'm doomed' i thought.
And yes i'm doomed, suddenly there is a giant shadow above me, as i looked up, there is a pair of giant redish eyes gleaming in the dark sky that seems to sucked your soul out from your body, shrouded in dark brown fur and long arms ready to crush its prey.
My instinct kicked in, and i'm start running, if i'm a second late i'm probably dead right away, the fall shooked the canopy make it looks like an earthquake for the tiny me. That monkey-like thing already on my tail, running in four, moving inch closer every second.
And then out of nowhere
Bamm!!
I'm falling, it looked like that creature try to catch me, but smacked me instead. There is a hesitation in its eye, an option to chase me down or not, and in split second its gone, he jumped too, why i said he, because i got full view of his body, and clearly he has "the thing" down there that confirmed its a he. And Its quite big, hahah.
And i suddenly got a revelation from gods know where, its about spider hatchling that will release several silk threads into the air. These will make the hatchling drift with the winds.
So i'm trying to spread my threads too, its surprising because i can do it naturaly, well i'm a spider after all. While spreading my threads i tried to shoot my poison to his face, 2 out of 5 shoots is in, one in the left eye and one near his neck.
Then
wooshh
A breeze swept me away to my right, i'm feeling grateful for the wind. But he followed me by steering his tail. Damn, i thought i already got away from his clutch. Something happening to him, because his eyes suddenly lost it light and his body went rigid.
'Ah it must be the posion started to take effect, damn it took so long i thought its ineffective.'
And he started a free fall towards the ground,
*crash*
There is a large thud sound from bellow.
After a while i safetly caught a leaf to hide and watch my surrounding.
There is no other movement in the shadow, no presence or chills felt. But still i'm catious, i wait for a while, under a leaf, affraid something might jump at me again.
5 minutes passed and nothing happened, except some howling in the distance. So i tried to look below, where he landed. He's still there, lying down motionless without any sign of life whatsoever.
Food, that's the first thing that crossed my mind, a giant food that can give me a full belly.
So i started to creep down from the tree, jumping had crossed my mind, but i immediately reject the idea, i'm not gonna do that when there is 'death' that can jump from anywhere to grab me in air.
After i arrived at forest floor, i silently walked to approach the body, afraid the he is somehow still alive. I tried to spit my venom hopping to get some reaction , but i got nothing. I wanted to throw pebble, but sadly i got no fingers.
A sudden relief washed over me.
I saw a pool of blood near his head, must be a head dive i thought. After that i checked my surrounding for a few seconds again, worried because no animals seem present or attracted to the crashing sound or the blood scent, when i saw nothing wrong, i began my feast.
I tear some meat chunk from his neck, because i thought that area is easier to bite. In case you wondering why i'm not injecting some enzyme to liquified the flesh like other spider, its because i'm incappable to do that, my mouth is still that worm mouth, you asked why? Because its easier for me to eat with teeth, and liquified flesh with enzyme will surely damaged the DNA , so its a no no. But i got an enzyme that can soften thing,, i think. Why i know that? Because when i tried to eat the bone the texture so tender like a first rate steak.
I finished my meal catiously in 40 minutes or so, i tried eating important organ first, like brain, heart and lungs, because i thought i could get more important DNA from there.

+Enchanced Digestic system
-Give your digestic system to help prevent DNA lost from your food.
+NOTE!! : These Abilities cannot be applied immediately because the difference of body structure. It can be applied when you enter the next cycle of evolution.
'Uh okay, maybe i will became some kind of monkey next time, haha. But why you're not telling me to evolve immediately ? Lack of DNA probably? Well it just mean that i need more food, and i wont say no to that. Lets climb again.'
For a few hours i tried to find food, i ate some geckos, tree frogs and a few bugs larvae. I got several minor ability from my hunt, like a foot to soften the landing, an inflamation poison.
Once i tried to shoot my poison to a rat, but it has no effect, i thought its because i only hit the skin, so without any means for the poison to come into the body or blood circulation, the effect won't activated. I ran to a tree to avoid it, nothing more scarier than a predator that aware and alerted of you. I tried to hunt several gecko after that but i'm tired to chase down my food, why can they just stay still when i want to catch them ughh.
'Wait, i'm a spider that can create web right? Why won't i make something out of it, a trap to lure potential prey? Stupid why i hadn't think about it earlier.'
For six hours or so i started working my web between two trees in forest floor. I choose forest floor because i'm afraid if i make it up in the canopy i won't have enough time to run or hide when something attack me.(a.n : imagine a badminton net, yeah he made something like that)
After i finished a try to lure the rat again, it looked so annoyed to see me again i suppose. After that i ran to my web while the rat try to chase me, because my web is almost transparent the rat not suspecting anything. And voila a food served, ready to be eaten. I'm grinning inwardly while looking a the struggling rat, the more you struggled the more trapped you become.
And then 'thud' there is a sound behind me, as i looked back, there is a giant bullfrog almost twice the size of the rat there. I instinctively shoot out my poison, alas i'm too late. A tentacle like sensation warped me and pulled me in, towards it mouth.
'This is it, a death of insect in the mouth of a frog, damn cliche.' I thought. I wait for the "chewing part" to come, it feels like eternity, but it never came. 'Oh yeah i forgot my skin covered by my poison, so the frog got what it deserved eh, predator become a prey.'
After that i quickly envelope the frog with my silk threads, afraid that it might recover soon, after that i went for the still struggling rat, injected my venom near its neck to ensure it will work immediately. After the rat went limp, i enveloped it too in my web. I quickly eat the frog, and got enchanced leg muscle that can be used in next evolution and an amphibian ability to create membrane. As for the rat, i will let it live to become a bait, i mean why would i put my self in 'death' door if i have a 'volunteer', i made a rectangular shape of web, i put the rat as the center and make some rope like threads to the upper part of the tree for me so i can climb up faster.
If my theory correct, some animal or creature will attracted to the rat, but will be stuck in the web, well at least a small to medium sized animal. Oh i also bit the rat a lil' bit so there will be blood scent to be tracked. After i finished the preparation i went up to the tree canopy and started to find small fry, cause you know i don't want to wait like an idiot here. I left my threads all over the place as clue so i won't get lost. For a few hours i hunt some gecko "again" and a new creature that looks like a tree snake, except its a legless bug that taste pretty awful and don't give me any usefull DNA. When i got back to my "box" i saw a feline creature, and maybe a dozen of stag beetles. I bit the feline , inject it with paralysis and inflamation venom and warped in my threads , same for the beetle only minus the venom cause i don't need it for them. I ate all of them except the skull of the the cat, then

You have collected enough mammals DNA to fully evolve into a small mammalFrom your recent consumption of Felidae Family has given you ability such as:
+Cunning Mind
+Improved Night Vision
+Improved Hearing
+Improved Smelling
+Condensed Hind Leg Muscle
+Claw Creation
+Acrobatic Sense
+Better Cardiac Control
+Predator Presence
+Force Stealth : an ability to hide your presence
+Spatial Comperhension : visualization of objects or positions in a two or three dimensional environment.
+Improved Instinctive Mana Control
From the consumption of Rodentia ordo has given you ability such as:
+Condensed Calcium Production : Improved your calcium based organ mass and Blood Production
+Ability to dig
+Low Frequency Hearing
+NOTE!! : These Abilities cannot be applied immediately because the difference of body structure. It can be applied when you enter the next cycle of evolution.
You have got enough DNA to perform evolution process , please find a safe spot if you want to undergo evolution because it will take 1-3 hours to finish and then go to sleep
'Thats my call, lets find a good place to sleep.'
After that i search for a good suitable spot to hide and preform my evolution, i found a dead tree surrounded by thick bushes, i found a hole near the roots, so without further ado i come inside and start to sleep.
After few seconds i fell asleep a voice came from the darkness.
A choice will be given to you for your capability to Survive. The choice is what kind of frame you will use for your next evolution.Primate BaseFeline BaseRodent Base
Other details will be selected automaticaly because host deemed to be incapable to make such decision, Automated Selection will be always activated if host still not able to make such decision to make sure the survivability or until host has the capability to make complex and logical decision that ensure survivability. Because host will undergo massive evolution, estimated time to finish process is 7 hours.
'Wut, i felt like i'm being insulted here. Oh what ever, i will choose him.'
After a few hours after the start of the process
Beep!!
Beep!!
Foreign substance near the vicinity detected, DNA absorber activated to ensure the safety of process. A side effect will likely to occur because the disturbance is percieved.

Hi, its me again here, i'm not really know what to say, haha , its just i felt the lack of battle and slow pace of story might not good enough to entertain you all. For the battle part here, i already do the utmost of my ability to make the "animal battle" sound exciting. And once more criticism, suggestion, comments and correction is highly appreciated.
Thanks for reading this.
