After searching extensively for half an hour, I was finally able to find a perfect sword for myself.

Cleaver:- One of the heaviest and largest two handed sword out there. Perfect for hunting large mutant beasts. But beware of it's heavy weight as it starts at 50 kg which doubles with each tier.

Level- Tier 1

Cost- 80 white coins

I used almost of all the white coins I had to buy 8 Cleavers so that I could merge them together and get a 4th tier weapon.

It weighed 400 kg in it's current tier.

And despite the fact that it was supposed to be a two handed weapon, I was move it around easily with just one hand.

This made me feel a bit apprehensive.

Before the apocalypse, I was capable to lifting 10 kg weight with one hand easily.

At that point, I had about 0.9 or 0.8 strength.

Now have 11.2 strength which I should be capable of lifting 120 to 130 kg weight easily as well.

But this sword weighed a whooping 400 kilograms.

Damn!

Just goes to show how important those Evolutions are.

If I was only a Human or a Enhanced Human, I would have never been capable to lifting this sword so easily even with the large increment in stats.

But I was not a mere Human anymore.

I was… much more.

I swung the sword around a few more times and felt immense satisfaction at the 'Whoosh' sound that came as the blade cut through the air.

It was a great feeling.

Then I looked at the remaining wealth in my possession and cringed.

I am poor.

I wanted another weapon for the left hand but it seems like I can't do it at the moment.

If I wanted another weapon, then I needed white coins. To gain white coins, I needed cores and crystals.

But can't have them if I stay here.'

Sigh… Seems like I can only practice with my sword today.

I looked at the place where Raka was sitting.

He had gained possession of a few marbles from somewhere and was playing with them on his own.

He really gave the feeling of a man-child at this moment.

And he seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit, if his giggles were any indicator.

Wow… Now I want to play as well.

I shook my head and stopped myself from my childish tendencies.

Me and my friends played quite a bit with marbles when we were children.

But I was not a child anymore.

And it needed no mention that the world was fucked.

So. No marbles.

"Oye Raka. Come here." I called and he reluctantly collected the marbles in his bag before coming over to me.

"What is it?" he asked and I felt a large grin in my face.

"You'll be my training partner today." I said and watched with amusement as his face turned pale.

—————

The training regiment I created for myself was rather simple.

And it involved stones.

Lots and lots of stones.

And the despite the fact that a 'training regiment' sound like a complicated thing, it was in facet, pretty simple.

"Throw it a bit faster this time." I shouted and Raka grumbled a bit before he picked up a few more stones and started throwing them at me.

As each stone sailed toward me, I brought up my sword and with the help of the high Perception, Agility and Strength, gave it a swing and cut the stone in half.

It was a good exercise that Rahul told me to try a while ago.

Raka was not weak but in front of myself, his strength was not much.

Thus, even though he threw the stone as fast as he could, with my high perception, I was able to see it's path clearly and then used my high strength agility to cut through it.

It was a exercise that forced me to use all my senses and something that I enjoyed doing.

With this exercise, I would get used to my sword in the shortest amount of times and not only that but become better at using it as well.

After Raka ran out of stones once again, I found another boulder and used my 'Cleaver' to cut and break it in pieces.

"This time, throw two stones together." I said and went into place once again.

—————

After three grueling hours of practice, Raka's arm finally went numb and he was not able to throw anymore stones so we stopped the exercise.

I gave him 100 white coins for his help and went to the side to cool myself as well.

I have learned from Rahul that if you're generous with people then they'll be more inclined to work for you.

But still, now I only have a few dozen white coins left.

I went to the bathroom and removed the defensive suit and helmet and looked at myself in the mirror for the first time after my evolution.

Truly. I have become a few inches taller. Earlier I was 5'9'' tall. Now I was about 6'2'' tall.

My black hair had become a bit longer and gave me a messier look which looked rather cool to me.

My face had become more chiseled and the rippling abs and chest muscles made me look like a super model.

I made a few poses in front of the mirror and then chuckled at myself.

If I had been so handsome before the apocalypse then I would have gained a truly large following of fan girls.

But none of that matters now.

I went closer to the mirror and looked the part that has changed by a large margin.

My eyes.

My iris had changed from dark black to yellow with brown shades.

And my pupil had gone from circular to vertical slits.

Before the apocalypse, such a change might have startled me. But now… I was just curious.

'This must be the reason why I was able to see everything so clearly in the dark despite not using my night vision.' I thought.

I smiled and my numerous canine teeth came into full view.

I opened my mouth and was surprised by the large number of teeth my mouth now occupied.

Instead of the original 32, my mouth now housed more than 50 sharp canine teeth.

I opened my mouth a bit more and cheeks split open to give me full view of my mouth.

Behind the teeth in the front, I could see three more pairs of small teeth which would replace the original teeth in case it falls.

I touched the place where my cheeks had split open and felt no pain. As if it was supposed to be that way.

I felt my jaw and realized that the muscles supporting my teeth had grown much larger and tougher.

With such addition, I could easily bite through the muscles and bones of any 3rd tier creature rather easily.

I closed my mouth and my cheeks fit perfectly on top of each other to give the illusion of a perfectly normal and handsome man.

'Talk about deception.' I thought and chuckled to myself.

I wonder if I gained this evolution because I killed the last abnormal by biting it to death.

That should be the special circumstance to gain this evolution, otherwise I don't see anything else that would warrant such a high level evolution.

'You can make use of your mouth if you buy a new helmet. You know… just in case.' Lily offered and I smiled at her words.

'Yes. I can't bite someone or something when I'm wearing my basic helmet. When I gain some white coins tomorrow, I'll buy a helmet that let's me open my jaw. My mouth is a fierce weapon on it's own and I would rather use it then let it go to waste behind a basic helmet.'

'But the point is… should I show this side of me to others in the camp?' I wondered then smirked cruelly at my refection.

'Why not.'
