[Day 15]

Ugh…

What's going on?

I remember fighting a bunch of wolves, killing two, eating an entire one, and then just falling asleep right there.

Well, that I am alive is good, it means that a bear didn't found me around and ate my whole.

Or that any other surviving wolf found me.

I really hope that gator just ate the three.

Now, now, why does my body feels as stiff as a rock?

I try to open my eyes, but I can't.

It is as if I was sealed in some kind of carapace.

It feels a bit icy.

Wait, is this ice?

I am sealed in ice…

I try to exert my strength, and it surprisingly works, in fact, I feel very good, as if I was born anew or something.

I guess I really slept quite well.

But what with the ice? Did I cover myself on it before falling asleep?

This amount of ice is way too much for me to produce it so easily like that, especially when I was so tired and dizzy back then.

Crack, crack…!

I slowly break apart the ice layer covering my body, as I free myself.

I can finally open my eyes once more, as the beautiful pine tree forest and the white snow below my feet greets me.

Phew, as good as new.

Though how come I got covered in that weird ice?

I look around and find the remains of the wolf I ate, I remember the other one whose corpse I didn't eat, which had completely disappeared.

…I guess someone else came and grabbed it when I was sleeping.

Good thing I had this icy protective layer to camouflage me, which had been covered in snow due to this snowstorm which finally came down here too.

Now… why everything looks not so big anymore?

I mean, also, I am kind of… quite high over the ground?

Like around a meter.

Compared to the cat-sized body I had before, I am way bigger now.

Did I finally had my growth spurt?

I just grew over a night…

Well, maybe more days went by, but I didn't realize?

I quickly begin to inspect my body.

My neck is quite long now, around 20 centimeters long… my scales had gained a metallic luster to them, although they also look quite crystal-like.

Above my back, there is a series of sharp crystals that resemble spines, and the end of my 40 centimeters long tail also has a sharp crystal resembling a blade.

Damn, I am packed now.

My arms are way longer as well, and my claws look like they can tear through anything.

I watch my reflection through the ice I just broke and find out I got a larger head now, damn I look a bit terrifying.

There is even a large horn growing atop my head.

Just how big I am?

I said one meter but maybe a few more centimeters.

Though I still don't have wings…

I seem to have evolved, I guess.

No way in hell I can simply grow up like this in the span of a night.

I quickly inspect my System as I find some interesting news.

Ding!

<you acquired="" the="" [merciless]="" title=""></you>

Okaaay…

That's quite something.

So I evolved and got two Skills, right out of the bat? That's insane.

And I even got a Title…

Let's see… Freezing Bite is the same thing as Freezing Slash, but using my jaws.

Meanwhile, Ore Body makes my body become covered in an ore layer, I guess that's why my scales are like… metallic? Even the spikes growing out of my body to look like crystals, so maybe all of that is considered "ore".

And lastly, Merciless is a Title awarded to beings who do… merciless behaviors. It enhances the damage I can deal with enemy "Weak points" by a "little bit", it doesn't specify of much.

This System is only for me, so I guess these Titles are also made simple for me.

No one else can get them.

I am just that awesome, heh.

Anyways, now that I have evolved, I should check my Stats, I bet they increased a bit at the very least.

…

Hot damn, I am packed.

Look at my Vitality, oh my… 250?!

And my Mana at 200?!

And all my other stats too, they're pretty high!

Except for my dexterity… Well, I have become quite heavy after evolving, so that's kind of understandable, I can't be so dexterous with this Ore Body of mine.

Also, some of my Skills even leveled up!

Hehe, now I am fucking ready.

Bring it on, wolves!

Though, there is no one around me.

And I am getting hungry.

Should I look for shelter first?

Maybe I can make an igloo or something.

Can I even do that? …Maybe.

Well, for now, the plan is to satiate my hunger, so let's sniff around and look for prey.

Amazed by my new power, I begin stealthily moving around, although I am big enough to not be stealthy anymore.

Suddenly, I reach the lake where the Ice Gators are. A thin layer of ice grew over it, but I bet they can easily break through it and attack you when you get near.

These guys were Middle Stage and had… way higher stats than me even now, I don't think I want to throw some fists with these guys, especially seeing how durable their scales looked.

I decide to move to the south from where I am, I will try to cross the forest while looking for something to eat I guess, now that I am a bit stronger, I am confident about my wolf-killing capabilities, I just have to evade the bear… or anything else that may lurk around.

I am a bit nervous but… there's no other way.
