It has been 2 weeks from my Mother's death and I have a strong urge to grow stronger. I wanna make my Mother proud and happy that I am healthy and fine and growing a little bit stronger and stronger until I am the pinnacle of this world. I checked my status after the goblin lords' death and I was shocked.
"Huh?!!"

"How did I level up so much?!!!"
*Ding
[Goblin Lord was more powerful than a normal one because of many skills.]
Ok, That I understand but why and when did I get Call of the wild?!
*Ding
[When you touched the mother's scale it inherited you the unique skill that your mother had.]
I-I... Thank you, Mom... I smile gently until a little tear falls out of my eye.
I shake my head from sad thoughts. I need to get powerful.
I checked the system store and was surprised by the amount of Sp.
I have almost 400 points and that's a lot!
Every time I killed goblin in that fight I almost every time devoured them
so that explains that huge amount.
I return into the cave and I am again surprised by the System.
*Ding
[System is analyzing the pond's potential.]
[Fusing the power with the system.]
[Calculating...]
[Success.]
[Pond in this Cave contains Life essence which is a powerful liquid that helps the person to get more magic from the air. This pond is at least 300 years old which contains magic power of all living creature who has been living in this cave.]
[Does host wanna upgrade your magic power?]
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
I read the message in shock. Mother hit the gold mine with this one. 300 years? every living creature's magic power?!
YES!
*Ding
[Host, go into the lake and bare the pain you are gonna get.]
I hesitate because if System says that I'm gonna feel the pain that means I'm gonna suffer from this one mentally.
I thought about it for a while until I finally got my courage back to go into it. I slither towards the pond until my tail hits the water. Coldwater hits me as I try to swim in the middle of the pond.
Ding*
[ Fusing the magic with the host's body. Don't lose your conscious Host or you will lose a good amount of magic power.]
Dathumb*
My heart starts rapidly pumping as I feel the energy coursing through my body at massive speed.
AAAAAARRRRRRGGHHH!!!
It feels like my body is being turned into ash and being regenerating back. My whole body is being stabbed by flaming knives that burn over me over and over again. I wanna die. Make this pain STOP!
I shout from the top of my lungs to keep me awake this process.
After 3 hours of unbearable pain, the pain starts to accumulate to one spot in my body. The pain circulates my body as it gradually stops.
"I stayed conscious that whole process. Never again..." I whisper as I slowly close my eyes as I start sleeping because of a rough day.
*Ding
[You have leveled up!]
[Host has the right amount of Exp for Evolution]
[Evolution is starting.]
[...]
[Good night dear.]
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
In the town of Iscardo, Rose hasn't been in a guild for a couple of weeks. She has been sorrowing from Jack's and Rays death. Rose is staying at her friend's house who owns an Inn in the town for the time being. Those guys were sometimes pain in the ass but they were good companions and almost like good family members for Rose. There was knocking on the door.
*Knock knock-
"Rose, can you please open the door. I have some cookies made for you."
A little girl's voice echoes outside of the door gently.
"Maria, Can you please leave me alone for a while..." Rose talks with little voice that you can almost hear her through the door.
"I have left you alone there for almost 2 weeks. You barely eat!!! Do you think Jack and Ray would want you to behave this way."
There is a long silence inside the room until Rose opens the door. Rose is wearing red pajamas and she looks very dirty for being inside the room for so long. Her eyes lids are little reddened clearly from crying a while ago.
"sigh- You really need a bath. Ok, I'm gonna get you a towel and you go bath then asap okay? And eat these cookies they will help you to get better."
Rose feels warm inside because of such care from Maria. A gentle smile appears on her face after a long while.
"Thank you, Maria..."
"Yeah yeah. Now go take that shower I will make you some food."
Maria starts walking with little steps to the corridor with her pigtail waving happily that she has work to do.
Rose looks at the burned cookies and take a big bite.
Bitter... Rose says as she munches more of the cookies in hunger.
"I hope that little snake is okay..." Rose remembers the dragon eating the Big Red Snake queen and gets shivers from such sight.
"Okay, Time to move forward," Rose says as she slaps his cheeks with both of her hands. Rose walks towards bath not knowing how big her life is gonna turn out in the future.
