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 15: Wonderful Gift!
*Celia’s POV*
Waking up in a stupid amount of pain, I rubbed my head with my left hand. Wait… hand!? Holyshit! I have a human body now! The crack in the rock that I rested in, was big enough for my new body, so getting out of it was easy.
I remember seeing a lake on the way to this shelter, so I ran towards it. After running for a few minutes, I arrived at the lake. Reflected in the water, was the image of a young girl. And I mean YOUNG! I think that I was around five years old, or something.
My hair was pinkish red, and it went down to my shoulders. My eyes were the same pinkish red color as well. No. I wasn’t naked. Like a cheat, I was wearing a dress in the same color as my hair and eyes.
All in all, this was an amazing gift! Though, I would still have called myself pretty decent looking in my first life, even just as a child, I know for a fact that I will be quite the beautiful woman one day with this new body.
Why I was given this evolution with ease, I have no idea. But, I am not going to complain about it ever! Those higher beings must have just gotten bored seeing me meander around as pitiful creatures… The System should be back now, so I should probably check out my current Status.

Holyshit… I have had a major fucking increase in my Stats… They weren’t this high last time… Is this because I now have a pretty versatile form? Whatever the reason is, I already feel far stronger than before… Despite me starving to all hell, I need to check out my available upgrades!

Huh?… All of the upgrades are ones that I already had. And now there is a Skill section? What gives? Did I get scammed!?
System: “Apart from the Upgrades from that you acquired while being a cell, the ones that cost nothing to get, needed to be removed, and reworked.”
Celia: “So, I just have to acquire them again?” I ask.
System: “Correct. And if you haven’t noticed, the Skills section has been removed from your Status, and have been put within their own menu along with Upgrades that you have acquired.” She explained.
Ah, that’s right! Skills are missing from my Status now. Getting all of those freebie Upgrades, and the new Skills, I then think about the menu that she mentioned.

Okay, that’s cool that they have their own section now. But I kinda feel like a play tester for a game, or something… Well, I’ll just ignore that dread for now, and check out my evolutions!

Oooo! Very cool choices for once! Though, I have to wait until I grow up first… Eh, I haven’t even gotten used to my human form yet. Rather than complain about having it take a while to evolve, I should just enjoy myself at the moment.
Or, I would try to enjoy myself, but my hunger has now gotten to me… I am not keen on trying to fight something with my new form, so I made a very tough decision…
Using my Iron Stomach Upgrade, which I assume just means that I can eat anything, I caught a fish that was swimming along the top of the lake. I was far too hungry to make a fire, so I just ate it raw.
The taste was horrible, as you would expect from raw fish. I didn’t worry about getting a parasite in me, since I am absolutely sure that Skill will help me with it. Once I was done eating it, the fish looked to have been mangled by a beast…
Heh. Did you really expect me to do something that vulgar? Even if I am starving, now that I have actual usable limbs, I am never eating raw food ever again!
Rather than just catching fish, I started a small campfire by the lake. Of course, making sure to separate the fire with stones. I highly doubt that there is a fire department in this world, after all. And burning down such a beautiful forest by accident, isn’t something that I wish to be responsible for…
Once I got the fire started, I gathered some thin sticks. Spear fishing with the sticks worked out quite well, and now there are six of the same kind of fish, roasting on my homemade campfire.
Since I do not have any seasoning or spices, the fish will most likely taste bland as all hell. But it will still taste miles better than anything that I have been eating lately.
When the fish looked to be somewhat done cooking, I decided to inspect it first. I don’t want to end up dying from some stupid food. Either there could be something wrong with it, or nothing at all is wrong with it. Better to be careful, though.

Oh? There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with its Status, so it should be okay to eat. Wait… isn’t this the fish that I once evolved into!? Oh well. Girls gotta eat!
Taking a bite of the fish, the lack of anything besides the taste of fish meat, was kind of a let down. That being said, it truly was better than eating raw things, like I was forced to do only a little while ago.
Either way, I was starving, so it wasn’t like I was going to complain to the chef. I mean, I was the one who actually made the food, you know…
When I got down to only three fish left on the fire, my Hunger Stat was almost completely full. As I was about to grab another fish to eat, I was pretty startled as someone came out of the forest, and approached my campfire…
