Demon King
Chapter 5 The First Evolution [1]

I held my breath in despair. I gently leaned back. I don't want to misstep on the rock and make a little noise.

If I get caught, I'm sure it'll all be over. I'm sure even an upgraded goblin will die if it goes beyond that part. That's hard to beat.

The silence became a moment of vulnerability, and tears seemed to come out of my eyes. I held back crying because I didn't want to make the slightest fuss. All this time, I was desperately moving my body very slowly.

The man across the hall didn't seem to notice me at all. I can't celebrate it. I just focus on getting as far away from him as possible.

I lasted for 30 minutes.

I wondered if I could get another skill. Even if I had a knife, I was still lacking.

I could only calm down after going through one more piece. I lost my mind there. I calmed my racing heart and took a slow breath.

Although only the weakest monsters are gathered here, I can die at any time, just trying to pass the quest. And I know that because I am the weakest monster of a weak monster.

‘Sials. I will be strong! ‘

I was hesitant about how far my limits as a member of the goblin species were; nevertheless, I held on forward with fiery eyes.

I fixed the average rusty blade and started walking again towards the next section, hoping to find a goblin weaker than me.

Time pass.

I was unable to determine exactly how long time had passed, so I had to step forward wisely. I didn't want to feel as physically tired as before, but now I'm not able to take care of myself.

Unlike in my college days, I was ready to sacrifice anything just to live.

I have suffered death before.

It was cold and scary. Losing my sense of immortality was a terrifying experience.

I don't want to die anymore. I want to live I want to live in any form and in any way.

That's me now.

I caught and ate three more goblins, but my level was still 6.

I only need one more goblin to complete the quest and receive the benefits.

I found goblins.

It was unarmed and was much smaller in size compared to the other goblins. Better yet, he's sound asleep.

Sleep is not a sin. Unless you have predatory skills and your stamina can be reset indefinitely, drowsiness approaches all creatures, weak or strong.

I found many goblins sleeping, and I kindly killed them all.

I stepped slowly and stuck a knife into his neck. It was rusty and second class, but it was enough to pierce through the throat of a sleeping opponent.

Therehewas.

[You get 10 experiences]

[You received 1 bronze.]

[Goblin Hunt 20/20]

After pulling out the knife, I looked around to see if it was as safe as I always did. Then I ate the goblin.

[Goblin Predation 20/20]

At that moment, my eyes were filled with dizzying window glass.

[Accomplished Mission!]

[You earn 1,000 experience points.]

[You receive 1 silver.]

[You receive the 2 lowest health herbs.]

[You received 1 sharp iron sword.]

[Raise level!]

[Raise level!]

[Raise level!]

[Raise level!]

[Starter Sword Science has become Lv3.]

I didn't know I was going to get a thousand experience points; I didn't expect it. The payoff is incredible. In particular, the sharp iron sword delighted me greatly.

I just held onto a second-rate knife and killed some ordinary goblins. But now I have a sharp iron sword!

Moreover, as my level increased by four, my strength and stamina also increased by four each. Perhaps, just maybe, I will now be able to fight the upgraded goblins.

But it's not over.

My heart started to beat. I don't know why. I'm not sure what triggered it, but my heart was beating so fast that I thought it was going to bounce.

Along with that, a voice came to me. It was the same sound from the beginning of the reversal.

[Evolution may occur.]

[Choose a race for evolution.]

[1. Goblin Warrior]

I stared blankly at the glass window without thinking to check my status. What did I just hear? Evolution? Have I just heard of evolution?

Is this possible?

If changing to another species can be achieved, then there is no limit to my growth. Things like this have not happened for generations; why am I experiencing them now?

I think I can grow. I feel that such a ridiculous concept is impossible for anyone else.

My hard heart rate proves it.

Maybe this is the power of the Ebon Heart. Of course, if I tried to summon his skill information, it would still be a question mark.

There was nothing else I could do unless I could get additional information about Ebon Heart.

I looked into the glass window with the title Goblin Fighter. I have a feeling. The goblins carry swords. There's them.

I'm convinced. They had a slightly different body structure than ordinary goblins and were not part of a quest.

Is there any benefit if I evolve? I thought about it, but I don't know.

In addition, judging from the information that appeared on the glass window, I decided that there was no option not to evolve. It makes no sense to hesitate if you have the opportunity to do so.

I reached out to the glass window.

The glass rang with a clear voice.

Then change began.

“Uggagagagagagagagagagagaga.”

A strange sound flowed through my throat. The bones in my body seemed to be sprained.

I felt the pain as if all the blood in my body was flowing backwards, and every hair was pulled out. It was like being pressed back and forth by a garbage compactor.

It was more painful than when I was injured for fighting the goblins and than when the rusty sword of the goblin warrior pierced me.

But I am obsessed with not dying.

I desperately endured the pain. I bit my tongue, but immediately I sprained my chin. It's bleedin.

‘What's wrong? Are you going to die like this? ‘

No, it is not said that I failed. I did not fail

No matter how painful it is, I can bear this as long as I don't die.

How long has it been? Slowly, the pain began to subside.

The air is sweet. My tears ran down my dirty cheeks and fell to the floor. The glass window appeared.

[Goblin Warrior]

[Starter Sword Science has become Lv4.]

[Starter Throwing becomes Lv2.]

“I succeeded.”

I was very worried that goblins or other goblin fighters would appear when I suffered, but fortunately, no one came.

I got up and lifted my body. The pain is almost gone. Instead, my body is as light as a feather.

And I realized that my upper body was more developed than ever.

‘I am now a goblin warrior.’

My body is filled with incomparable strength. I call status instinctively.

[Kang Si-ha (Fate)]

[Goblin Warrior Lv 10]

[Strength – 27 Health – 29 Magic – 5 Luck – ???]

[Skill-Ebon Heart, Predation Lv1, Escape Lv1, Beginner Swordsmanship Lv4, Beginner Throw Lv2]

I opened my mouth. When I was in pain, I thought I would never want to experience the experience again, but now, the thought is fading. I can even do it two or three times. I became stronger, much stronger!

‘My strength and stamina increased by 10!’

I was at level 6 before I killed the last goblin, so I gained 14 strength and stamina at once. My physical abilities are doubled!

My level 3 beginner swordsmanship, grew to level 4.

I swung the sword in my hand several times into the air. I can swing it at very high speed and with a steady posture.

So I became stronger.

My chances of survival increased.

I'm convinced. Now I can fight the goblin warriors.

It is still scary to carry a sword, but if possible, I will fight the goblins with that sword. Now I have the power to stay alive in any situation

.

And as if reading my mind, a new window appeared in front of me.

[Mission made!]

[You've become a goblin fighter less vulnerable compared to a weak goblin. You know how to grow. There was no time to settle for the body of the goblin warrior.]

[Hunting and consuming Goblin Fighter 0/100]

“100…… 100?”

I'm so embarrassed.

It was a different situation than I expected.

I was confident that I could kill ordinary goblins easily, so I had no intention of taking the risk myself by challenging the goblin warriors.

But I stared at the last sentence of the quest.

Wait a minute, what do you mean there's more?

My heart is pounding.

I caressed myself. I'm still not good. There was no dramatic change from being a goblin to being a goblin warrior.

However, if I experience more changes…

Maybe I could develop into something similar to a human.

I have given up everything but life after becoming a goblin. I used to sleep in a soft bed, shower with hot water, and…

Jajangmyeon-san.

Jajangmyeon-san.

I want to eat jjajangmyeon.

I can't get out of the dungeon. I am a monster; I will be shot or killed by magic or sword if I do.

I don't know what's going on in the outside world, but no human has ever partnered with a goblin. A goblin can never be friends with a human.

However, if evolution continued, goblins might be able to become a race similar to humans. If that didn't work out, perhaps it could be a race that could mimic the appearance of humans.

New needs have arisen. It's a lie if I don't complain about living in a dark underground cave and only eating goblins. Once I realized my new goal, my desire swelled out of control.

I swallow and swallow, my mouth water.

I realized that I was at the intersection between two options.

My first choice was to ignore the future possibilities and just look for weak goblins to survive.

The second and more ambitious option is to fight against goblin fighters with equal or greater strength to develop further.

This is my life. I have to be careful.

“Is this a cave that has risen since the great smelting?”

“Do we need to go inside? That's very scary. Captain, what are we going to do when monsters appear !? We have no power whatsoever! ”

“We are useless. Bring some popcorn, Yuserin. ”

“Haha, right. If you eat popcorn from behind, I'll take care of you. I have experience and strength as a mercenary! ”

Three people have entered the basement.
