" YES! ITS FINALLY FUCKING OVER!!! " I said as my feeble green aura flickered. I thought it would be an easy fight, but I didn't take into account the wisp that survived and leveled up because of the explosion, thankfully, with my mana increasing and replenishing every level up I was able to get rid of those fucking wisps.

[ Mana: 20/520 ]

It was a close call, with this amount of mana, I felt a little bit fatigued and clumsy, and I also felt a sense of dread as it goes down to 20, maybe it was my body telling me that if my Mana hit zero, something bad will happen.

<< You leveled up!>>

<< Level: 5 >>

<< You are now an Adult Forest Wisp>>

<< +5 INT, +5 WIS >>

I felt something well up within me, but that was instantly suppressed by the continuous level-ups.

<< You leveled up >>

<< You leveled up >>

<< You leveled...

...

<< Level: 10 >>

<< You are now an Elder Forest Wisp>>

<< +10 INT, +10 WIS >>

My light green aura starts to turn darker until it became as dark as moss. I also felt conflicting forces within me; the surge of mana from level-ups and a sense of weariness were in constant flux.

<< You have reached the pinnacle of your species >>

'The pinnacle? does that mean I'm not going to grow anymore?' the thought of being stuck as a floating orb for my whole life worries me. Fortunately, the following system prompts proved me wrong

<< Hidden passive of title [Dawn Traveler] has activated>>

<< [Path of the Traveler] has activated >>

<< Please choose your Evolution: >>

<< Small Forest Sprite (E-)>> <> <>

I mentally smirked, this is what a true reincarnation should be! Evolution BABYYYYY!! Anyways, what should I choose... the information given by the system doesn't include the descriptions for these evolution paths, how the hell should I know what a Forest Sprite is?

<< Forest Sprite are magical beast that is known as malicious because of their habits of tricking adventurers using their telepathic abilities and Plant Magic >>

'Well thank you for that one, System!'

<>

'W-wait, you can talk?!' i mentally gasped, I thought the system is just an automatic computer thingy or something.

<< Well yes, but actually no. >>

'What do you mean by that?'

<< ... >>

'All right then, keep your secrets, but can you please explain the other choices?' Forest Sprites didn’t pique my interest in the slightest, I mean it must be fun playing with adventurers, but I don’t want to be something that is hated.

<< Forest Elementals are one of the lowest ranks of the Elemental spirits. Do not be fooled, with their plant magic and unpredictability due to their intelligence, they are tricky to be dealt with. >>

'That sounds good, it's just like a much better version of a wisp'

<< Tree spirits are trees that gained sentience with enough time and exposure to mana. Their powerful plant magic is lethal, thus, their wood is a good source of materials for alchemy and magic items. >>

'Nope, I don't want to become a tree, and you said that they are good magic materials? I don't want to be someone's walking stick or something...' I mumbled, I didn’t get reincarnated just to become a tree...

<< I advise you to choose wisely since this is your first evolution, It will be your foundation and your future evolutionary paths will be based on it. >>

Of these three, the Forest Elemental is the only one that I can see that has no cons whatsoever, and its rating is D, which is higher than both of the other choices.

'Wait a minute, what do those letters enclosed in parenthesis mean? Are those rating or ranks?'

<< Those are the potential ratings of the race, from the lowest (G), to the highest (S).>>

'Potential rating of what? Power?'

<< ... >>

'...' This system is getting on my nerves, just say that you can't provide the information instead of this silent tactic!

' Fine, I choose Forest Elemental. '

<< Evolution Commencing!!! >>

<< Elder Forest Wisp ~~~> Small Forest Elemental >>

The fog suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded me, it is so thick that I can’t even see the ground that I am floating on!

*CRACK*

A loud crack can be suddenly heard, I can feel my core breaking apart and gluing itself back together. I can also feel a weird tugging sensation within my core, surprisingly, it doesn't hurt.

It continues for at least 2 minutes until...

<< Evolution Complete! Please check your Status Panel >>

'My stats increased by a lot! Especially Intelligence and Wisdom! System, why is that the case?' I asked.

<< Your Attribute Priority is Intelligence and Wisdom, thus, for every level ups, those stats receive two points, and the others one point.>>

'Hmm, I see, but why is my MIND stat still 9 though?'

<< That is because the MIND stat is special, every increase on said stat will increase the efficiency and power of your psionic abilities. There is a barrier when you reach a certain amount of points and you have to do a certain task to pass that said barrier, there are barriers for 9,27,54,81, and so on>>

'Ohhhh nice, what about...'

Thus, the Q and A started, I asked the system about everything, from my new skills to the effect of my title, I also tried to practice my magic, [Wooden Shield] manifested a 2-meter floating shield made of wood, [Thorn Whistles] are a volley of bullet-like thorns that I can use to bombard something with minimal mana. [Minor Rejuvination] seems to be like a healing spell, albeit for small wounds or damages and it replenishes a small amount of stamina. [Poison Ivy] are vines that are laced with, wait for it, Poison!

The Question and Answer session lasts for at least one hour until the system bids its farewell.

<< This is probably the last time that we'll ever have a conversation, I know that there is still tons of unanswered question on your mind, but you have to find the answer by yourself now. I welcome you again to Verifian, and I hope that you enjoy your stay here.>>

' Thank you for everything system. 'With that, I'm alone in the middle of the forest once more.

'What should I do now... Well, it’s almost afternoon, it would be better to find somewhere to stay for the night.' I activated my new skill [Spirit Sense] to scour my immediate surroundings for any danger-

I was going to float away from the clearing when my [Spirit Sense] picked up something in the shrubbery meters away from me...
