IllyasArt Hello! This is my latest novel! Unlike my other novels, this one isn't finished yet. The first volume is finished, though. And you can buy it on Amazon here. If you would be so kind, you can also get the first volume(and anything else I've made.) on my Patreon for donating $10 or over that, here. If you wish for updates, the $10 and over tiers will give you access to chapters when I actually finish them. (Maybe one a day? Idk, as I will be mainly working on other novels as well. But, there will at least be one new chapter every few days.)

Chapter 12: New Form.

*Celia’s POV*

The plan to kill a bunch of stupid Goblins worked out decently well. Only problem from me doing so, is that the water in this cavern now stinks to all hell…

Seeing this many Goblin bodies floating around in the water, was very creepy, to say the least. I still find it kinda funny how easy that it was for me to kill them this way, though.

You would think that since they could see those bodies in the water, they would think twice about going over to it. But no. They just walked over to the water, and drowned to death…

Speaking of killing, I did get to level 12, though. So I can now finally evolve. Thinking about it, I forgot to check what evolutions that I have access to at the moment. Oh, well. Better now than never!

Holyshit! I can finally evolve into a human! Fuck those other options! Whatever sacrifice that I need to make, I’ll do it without any hesitation at all! Now, System, tell me what I have to do to get the last requirement to evolve into a human!

System: “For you to become a human this early, would require me to kill an infant within a mother’s womb.” She explained.

Celia: “Why the hell would you need to do that!?” I yell.

System: “To transfer their soul out of the vessel, and place yours there instead.” She replied.

Celia: “…”

Fuck… I can’t do that. Even if the other options suck, and I am not exactly a good person, I still can’t just randomly kill an innocent human. I can’t justify it by saying that they were evil, since they weren’t even born yet, so how could they be bad people? They couldn’t, that is, unless it was an evil person that reincarnated with their memories intact…

System: “It is wise to not use to evolve into a human at this time.” She said.

Celia: “And why is that?” I ask with a sigh.

System: “If you choose this method, there is no telling if you would be born a male or female. Or even what kind of situation you will be born into.” She replied.

Celia: “Are those the only reasons?” I ask.

System: “No. Your current Status would also be sacrificed.” She answered.

Yeah, fuck that! I have worked waaaay too hard for my current Status, to just up and throw it all away now. I just have to wait it out for longer, and then I will get a human body, and have very good Stats to boot!

For now, I went with the Long Tongued Frog evolution, since I was already tired of swimming around in this life. Once I accepted the evolution, I passed out from the searing pain.

When I woke up, I was on the shore of the small cavern pond thingy. Examining my new body, it felt all gooey, and not good at all… At least I could now walk around. Or rather, hop around. Walking is kinda hard with my current body, which sucks!

As I was hopping around the cavern, I explored it further than I could in my fish body. You know, since I was water locked… The cavern was absolutely beautiful! Oddly, I had a weird desire to eat the brightly glowing crystals…

Pushing that thought to the back of my frog head, I continued exploring. While killing those Goblins, eventually they stopped showing up. So, I might have accidentally killed all of the ones camping out in this cave. Good job, me!

Going by how big the Goblins are, I was about the size of a human man’s head. So I wasn’t small by any means. Rather than just wing it from here, I should check my Status, and my possible evolutions.

______________________________________________________________________________

Oddly, I didn’t gain any SIP’s from leveling up… Ah, maybe they just got randomly added to different Stats when I evolved?… I don’t really know, but it looks like I have to get to level 15 to evolve now.

I have upgrades available as well. I’ll check those out once I look at the evolutions that I now have access to.

______________________________________________________________________________

Is that a fucking spider evolution that I am seeing right now!? Nope! Fuck that! All spiders should burn! And that would even include me if I go with that evolution! I would willingly welcome my death if I become a spider…
______________________________________________________________________________

Upgrades:

Danger Sense: 12 SIP Required.

Invisibility: 15 SIP’s Required.
______________________________________________________________________________

Wow! Fucking what!? Invisibility!? Isn’t that, like, far too overpowered?… Well, I am not going to complain about it. I’ll just wait until I can stockpile enough SIP’s to get that upgrade. Danger Sense be damned!

System: “User, Celia, apologies, but the Invisibility Upgrade is an error, and will be removed from your upgrade options.” She said.

Celia: “Why!?” I yell in annoyance.

System: “Errors a prone to happen from time to time. Please be aware, I, or rather, this System, was made just to accommodate you, and you alone.” She replied.

Celia: “Do you mean that EVERYTHING it says, is just made up?” I ask with a concerned tone.

System: “No. Just that there will be errors. Your Status, and the Statuses of other beings, are based on their souls. It might not be completely accurate, but it is accurate enough.” She answered.

Celia: “Why even go this far for me?” I ask with a serious tone.

System: “There could be an important reason why, but I am not privy to such information.” She said.

Out of annoyance, I used my frog leg to kick a rock. This, stupidly, hurt me a bit. No, really. I lost 8 HP from doing it… Fucking whatever!

I highly dislike being played, or being someone’s puppet. But I have no form of recourse at the moment. And here I thought that those higher beings did something nice for me, out of their remorse for fucking me over...

But, no. There is most certainly something bigger going on. That isn’t something that I can figure out now, though. Unknowingly being a part of some higher beings fucked up experiment, isn’t fun.

For now, I need to focus up on gaining levels. Using my tongue, I snatch up a weird looking insect. It tasted absolutely vile, but I didn’t care at this point.

I can relax when I have a human form. My annoyance was further amplified, when I realized that the insect I killed and ate, barely gave me any Exp at all…

While I was slowly dipping into a depressive state, on instinct, I dodged a sword that was aimed at me. After dodging, I looked to the being responsible, assuming that it would be another Goblin. But, much to my dismay, it was a human…
