Legend of the Devil Fox

…OK, take a deep breath, calm down, let me see the description first …
[※Evolution Not Available] In the current version of the game, no further monster evolution is applied. New evolution is planned for the release of the game Version 2.0.]
What…? So we alpha testers can't evolve any further? If I can't evolve, does that mean my combat power stops here?
What am I supposed to do? Even if I survive this event, how can I survive for 1 month with JUST THIS?
Let's think positive first. I'm almost crazy for this shocking information.
I no longer need to sleep with this body. That means if I can escape to the sea, the beta player will not be able to contact me, right? Well, but the thing is I don't even know where it is.
I started climbing the mountain, thinking I might be able to see where the sea was...hmm? Whatisthis? I saw a scratch on the surface of the stone on the wall.
There's a lot of scratches. No, wait, it's not just a scratch. Who wrote this? Could this be .. this is the Dragon's nest?
It looks like it was made using scratches from sharp claws. I can't imagine how long and how much effort it would take to carve these letters.
The handwriting was horrifying and at the same time, desperate. I started reading.
"My name is Marco. If anyone can read this, I have left these words behind so that you can know the corporate truth behind the Yggdrasia World, and the truth of this world."
"I am the subject of the exam No. 01. I was given the 'Demon Dragon' body'. I was sent to this world as a test subject for an experiment investigating mental stress using a monster avatar."
"The monster avatars, our avatars, have been calibrated to a terrifying level. No normal game developer would allow this."
"The pain is several times the normal amount. My eyes were so sharp that I could see through the darkness as clearly as day, and my hearing was just as strong. I shuddered just because the wind touched my skin. My sensitivity is so high that I can't even sleep. I had expected this to some extent, but even with that, my mind was quickly pushed to its limits."
"Maybe a monster that is not very sensitive to pain, such as a slime or an avatar type with an unspecified shape, would be easier."
"But they have to face a problem that normal avatars don't have to face: a feeling of dizziness that resists from their real bodies. At least I won't be able to bear it. In fact, according to my own investigation, almost every tester using a monster avatar had come out after a few days. I don't see any of them coming back."
"If there was someone who could handle such an avatar, I think it would require someone with being able to withstand pain and high mental strength."
"The goal of this experiment was to devise a system that could use the power of monsters, forces that were completely non-human, as much as possible."
"They'll test the limits that humans can bear, and what users can't do, they'll leave to AI management."
"But it's not to implement 'Human and Monster PVP' into the game as described to us 30 testers. That's for limited warfare. Used in the invasion. Once we all alpha testers are gone, they'll start testing the human army."
"War Tools….And they plan to expo us all to dust just for data."
"I have found the truth. I have spoken to my allies. We plan to take refuge in this world, a world that will be invaded by governments."
"You must be wondering what the world I'm talking about. But you must have realized it, right? Anyway, you're here reading this. Look at the realistic view. People with thoughts so complex that no AI can control them."
"Don't you think it's the same as using an avatar to visit other places on Earth? You must have realized that this Yggdrasia world is not just a collection of data on a server. This isn't fiction. Yggdrasia really exists."
