Chapter 40
Zzzzz... I’m awake! Alright, yesterday, I explored the castle, aka, the Ruins of Rebellion, and then... I got enough EXP to evolve!
Did it work? My body feels a little heavier than before... especially my chest. As for my limbs...there are only two legs and two arms. And they’re human arms! They’re kinda white... no, pale is better to call it. The nails have a faint purple color and look a little sharp for a human, but not so much as for the nails of an ogre. Or, what I imagine an ogre’s nails would look like.
I took out a full-length mirror I had taken from the castle so I could see myself as a whole.
...Gyaaa!! Scary! What the f*ck!?
What reflected in the mirror was a white-and-black-haired girl. Notable traits include black and purple horns, red-purplish eyes with black sclera, and black markings that looked like dried-up blood that flowed from her eyes once. She almost looks like a... "fresh" devil zombie.
I took a better look at myself after the initial shock and saw that I’m... pretty good-looking. Except for those tears-of-blood tattoos. There’s a single line on the right eye and two on the left. Hm? There are some turquoise eye shade-like marks on the left eye.
Oh, that’s the Evil Eye. It did say this could appear for some races. But wasn’t the Evil Eye on my right? The Kigal-Note did say that evolution could make some changes such as with your dominant hand switching from right to left, but to think that’s also true with Evil Eyes...
When I activated it, my left eye turned turquoise in color. When I turned it off, I noticed that my eyes already had slits in the pupils, not just when the skill was in use. It gives them quite a demonic appearance.
Same with the ears. They’re more pointy than a human, but not so much as an elf. Kinda like the ears of an imp? Not that I’ve seen either one of them, but it feels like that.
As for my hair, it reaches my shoulders and is pure white. There are also some black highlights on the front and the sides. It seems like it would be a pain to take care of if it was longer, not to mention getting in the way of stuff, so this length’s good.
My teeth... are the sharp kind, but nothing too weird. And it seems I can still make use of that [Poison Fang] skill~...*sigh*.
