Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Identification Result: Evolution Option

Race:Imp

Description:A minor demon that holds power over no attributes. Very weak, but due to that, they are allowed to stay in humanoid cities despite being demonic monsters.

Weak! Imps are weak!! And what's up with this lackluster information? There's nothing about, I don't know, evolution requirements, attributes of the creature, or skills this thing has? Give me a break!

Urgh... I didn't expect that the information obtained from [Discern] would be so limited due to the low level. In that case, it may be possible not to take a sneak peek at a target's skills... I gotta level it up big time!

As for the Imp, let's see if there's something in the book... there was, but still: IMPS ARE WEAK!! Bet that the reason why I got this one is that all rank G demons can evolve into this anyway. 

Over to the next one.

Identification Result: Evolution Option

Race:Lesser Gazer

Description:A demon with the bizarre appearance of a single, floating eyeball. They are often used as familiars, but their only positive feature is their great information-gathering powers.

...not sure if I wanna look up in the book for this one... *Turning pages*

Yup! I didn't wanna look it up, and I was right! Too weak! Weaker than an Imp! But from its description, it looks more like it's counting on its skills instead of status values to survive. Why is this one available for me anyway? Maybe...

Skill List:

Ability Skills:[MP Auto-Recovery Lv.2] [Strength Increase (Small) Lv.11] UP2 [Vitality Increase (Small) Lv.6] 

Magic Skills:[Darkness Magic Lv.1] NEW

Active Skills:[Aura of Darkness Lv.9] [Stealth Lv.10] [Camouflage Lv.10] UP1 [Spatial Storage Lv.1]

Elements:[Darkness Element Lv.12] UP1

Monster Skills:[Poison Bite Lv.5] [Spider Thread Lv.19] UP1

Ooh. I didn't know that the skill list showed the updates like this. Nifty. And yeah. Five different Perception Skills would unlock something like a Lesser Gazer for a rank G trash like me.

And this third one's... probably because of my Monster Skills. Wait, maybe that's something with high DEX?

Race:Arachdemon

Description:A demon monster that takes the shape of a spider whose head is a humanoid torso. They are known for their brutality, but their only way of fighting is to use their silk threads, which are highly flammable.

The Kigal-Note tells me that they have a higher DEX than the first two, but a weakness to flames? With the next floor being half flame? Out!!

Damn. The first three options turned out to be trash, but what about the Ex Races?

Identification Result: Evolution Option

Identification Result: Evolution OptionRace:Dusk Imp

Description:A minor demon that holds the power over the Darkness attribute. It's quite mischievous, but it is also quite loyal like the rest of the Imp races. Due to that, they are one of the best candidates for magicians practicing black magic.

Alright, and the Kigal-Note says... not bad. It has better DEX and RES stats than the original Imp. Maybe those two stats are typical for the Darkness attribute?

I bet I unlocked this variant due to that new title of mine. Darkness Technique User is awarded to people that use Darkness attribute skills for a certain amount of time and length of use. The quality of the skill also counts, so the reason I got this title must be from using [Aura of Darkness] as my main weapon.

Then there's the fact that all my other Darkness skills also improved thanks to using the Aura. While I'm not sure if Resistance Skills counts for the acquisition of this title, the title gave me a Lesser Element skill of the attribute, so having the real Element Skill must also have played a role. 

Guess I can't expect to get Shadow Technique User or Poison Technique User from using [Stealth] and [Poison Fang]. 

Let's see the remaining two evolution options. 

Identification Result: Evolution Option

Race:Dark Geist

Description:A ghost-like demon made of dust. This specimen is endowed with the Darkness attribute, allowing it to erode and absorb anything inside it. It is quite dangerous and aggressive, so people should stay away from it if they see one.

This guy has the highest DEX of them all, but a ghost... Nu-uh. That's impossible for me. I'm barely able to withstand my current body!

Did I get this one from the Darkness Technique User? No, in this case, I think it's because I have used [Aura of Darkness] so many times. The description further increases my belief in this theory...

Even so, I can't use this thing! If this next one with the strange name isn't any good, I have to settle with Dusk Imp...

Identification Result: Evolution Option

Race:Reha Zera

Description:A spider-like demon that lives in the jungles and caves. They hunt down their targets while hiding in shadows, or use the power of darkness to weaken the enemy before finishing it off. However, the Reha Zera is also a benevolent monster and will refrain from attacking prey that is weaker than themselves.

And the note says... equal DEX stats as the Geist? I'll take it! Besides, I'm going wild with the spider-style lately, so why stop now? Getting more skills related to threads won't hurt... even when I won't be able to use them on Floor 2. Damn...

Alright, I've decided...

SYSTEM MESSAGE:

Extra Race - Reha Zera has been selected.

During evolution, you will not be able to move.

Do you wish to start the evolution into Extra Race - Reha Zera?

Y/N

I can't move? Glad it told me that beforehand, but I've already set up my shop!

After placing the final device for the Chain Quest, I worked with making a nest for myself in the opening in the wall close to it. The entrance is covered with threads of the same color as the wall, and the inside has several layers of spider webs that will capture anything that succeeds in seeing through the fake wall.

Now then, there's no time like the moment, so here we go!

SYSTEM MESSAGE:

Commencing evolution to Extra Race - Reha Zera

Alright. Kinda scared, but the results... are... gonna... be... awe...
