Chapter 6: Clearing Space
After fighting and killing the King-rank Undead—which I could have won without even fighting...
Now, I am walking randomly, trying to find the dungeon.
"Hey, Aries, I have a question," I said.
[What is it?] she replied.
"I can only evolve after draining life energy, right? So how did I evolve after killing the undead, which don't have any life energy?" I asked.
[There isn't anything like that. You don't have to drain just life energy to evolve. You can also drain their skills, corpses, souls, or even their existence.] she replied.
"Hmmm, I see... I'm quite strong now from the evolution and all the new skills, so I don't have to fear much about other monsters here. But still, they will attack me if they see me, so I won't be able to live a peaceful life..." I sighed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh, this isn't what I wanted after getting reincarnated! The only things I have done are fight, kill, drain, evolve... fight, kill, drain, evolve. I haven't even enjoyed living. It's like I'm fighting without stopping," I said.
[Well, you do enjoy this too.] Aries said.
"I mean, yeah, I love evolving because I'm curious about what happens next, but this is getting boring now. And I think even our readers are bored from seeing the same thing again and again. Right, readers?!" I said.
[Stop breaking the fourth wall. Anyway, if you're bored of this, why not kill or scare the monsters away from this island?] Aries suggested.
