Chapter 8 The First Evolution - Part 1: Selecting A Job
"Huff huff...", Shin was panting heavily after finishing the First Hunt.
He sat down for a moment and looked towards the body that was lying in front of him. There was a lot of blood flowing from the body and some of the blood stains was on his body and mouth too.
"I still can't believe that I hunted a Ruler!!!", he was still doubting his success but regardless of those things, he had hunted and now had something to eat.
He was salivating heavily because his hunger had nowhere subsided. He wanted to eat the lizard right now.
Previously he wasn't able to taste it and just swallowed it, right now he somehow walked near it in order to take another bite.
He immediately moved his jaw and took another bite from the body and ate it.
"Wow!!! This is really tasty!!!", he smiled the moment he tasted it.
Earlier he thought that it would be disgusting but after having a bite from it, he couldn't stop salivating.
The temptation of eating more increased and it started eating each and every part of the lizard and even before he knew it, he had finished everything.
The only things that jow remained were its bones.
"Haaa... that was satisfying...", he sat at the same place and smirked.
The hunger which he has until just now had now subsided and his stomach was quite full. He drank a bit more water and stood there looking himself in the water.
'It really is weird, the young wolf pups in our world wouldn't even open their eyes or stand until they were 5-10 days old and here I am hunting in this world...', it was indeed remarkable.
He couldn't even believe this happening so he didn't care much right now.
"Okay, now what do I do next...?", he was wondering as there was literally nothing else for him to do.
It was not the old world where if he was employed he had to run to office and if he were unemployed, he would run to find a job.
He had to do a lot of bootlicking to boss, or even work over times.
But there was nothing like this in the world. He could literally rest for an indefinite period of time and be lazy as much as he wanted.
So for some reason he liked this world but at the same time he had many fears.
Because he was a beast like others, not only would others monsters hunt him, but also the humans would not hesitate to kill him.
'Oh well, let's check the system a bit...', was what he thought.
"Hmm..."
==========
Level: 05 || Max. Level: 05 -<evolve>-
==========
"Huh?", while he was checking his own profile once, he could see a Leveling stat which showed that it was already maxed out.
It meant that the moment he reached the maximum level, no matter what happened he wouldn't level up anymore.
"Damn... that's bad...", he was sad for a minute and was a bit annoyed.
If he couldn't level up them he wouldn't be able to hunt or protect himself.
This time he was lucky since the lizard was not in its habitat and it had been weak since earlier for some reason.
Also, he had won because of the lizards own attack where he almost played no role. After thinking all these things, the proudness which he has about hunting his first prey was broken into pieces.
"Tsk, it feels like I'm useless and worthless...", he said to himself while sitting near the bones of the lizard.
He was about to go and check the next stat when suddenly he saw another button like thing just near the Leveling stat.
'What's that...?', he wondered.
'Can I click it?', he asked himself in mind and then slowly moved his small paw towards it and pressed it.
'DING'

[The process of evolution has started]
-> Choose a job for the evolution to proceed:
- -> Healer
- -> Sage
- -> Necromancer
- -> Beserker
-< Choose within the time limit, otherwise random job will be given >-
TIME LIMIT: 00:00:00:10 [ 10 seconds ]
=========
'Huh? I need to choose one of them?', he wasn't sure as what those jobs meant and he didn't know what to choose either as it was asked all of a sudden.
On top of that there was a time limit due to which he wasn't able to concentrate properly.
"What's should I choose?", he asked himself.
"It would be best if I Choose Beserker since that will increase my power...", he said.
His decision wasn't wrong. Since he was quite weak right now, having the Beserker job might increase his strength by several times and he might be able to run away or fight in a better manner.
But the greatest fault of that job was that the intelligence would become completely nil while using the power of Beserker which he wasn't aware about.
He literally would be like a tyrant who would attack any and all if he would be hungry. He could kill everyone who would even appear in front of him.
'Yes... Beserker is the best!', he thought.
"Alright! I choose-"
Just before he could complete saying about his choice, the time was up.
==========
[The process of evolution has started]
-> Choose a job for the evolution to proceed:
- -> Healer
- -> Sage
- -> Necromancer
- -> Beserker
-< Since nothing was chosen before the time limit was over, a random job will be given to the host >-
==========
"Argh!!! Dammit!!!", he was regretting the fact that he took too long to think.
Even if he was a second faster, he could have chosen the beserker job.
'I don't want the Healer job... just give me anything other than the Healer job!', he started wishing for other jobs.
He didn't want the Healer job since he thought that having that job would only provide him haling abilities.
In battle, healing ability would be practically useless as he would get killed in an insitant even before healing himself.
"Anything other than healing!!!", he kept on repeating this after tightly closing his eyes.
He continued to pray and wish for some other job for around 5 minutes after which a notification appeared.
'DING DONG'
