WHAT Aldric saw made him gasp in shock. How could evolution cause this much change?
"Thanks to Your Highness' blessings, I have evolved into an Oni and…" Lavena trailed off and blushed before she flashed a wide and ecstatic smile. "I… I have become your wife."“W-Wife?” Aldric asked and realized that he wasn't dreaming when he heard the system's robotic voice.“Y-Yes, Your Highness..."

System, how many skills do I have currently?'[Answer: Currently, you have 661 skills.]Aldric's eyes widened, and he sat abruptly, which startled Lavena."Y-Your Highness, is there something wrong?"'661?! I had 34,596, and now I'm down to 661 from evolving goblins and those wolves?' Aldric shook his head in disbelief. ''This can't be! I thought that there was nothing to be worried about since I could just buy them again, but losing 33,935 skills overnight was unbelievable!’‘I should think first before naming and evolving monsters from now on!' Aldric stood up and took a deep breath. I spent trillions on my skills, and they are gone just like that? Does this mean that I'm weak again? Fuck!

I wonder why? Sighs. I really did… lost a lot of useful skills, but... have my stats gotten higher? Is it because I evolved them and they became my people? Yes, that might be it.’‘I am a king, after all. Maybe the more subordinates I have, the stronger I will become.’Aldric turned his face to glance at the now evolved Lavena."A King without people may have an impressive label, but he has no resources if he has no people, and he experiences ruin, but my skills... they cost me a lot."Lavena furrowed her forehead as she watched Aldric mumble by himself, causing Lavena's horn to move."Is there something wrong, Your Highness?" Lavena repeated her question. "I apologize if I did something because of my ignorance. Were you perhaps displeased by my performance last night, Your Highness?"Hearing Lavena's words, Aldric's memories from last night slowly returned to him, and he facepalmed himself.'Performance? Ugh! I can't believe I was driven by lust. I just hope that she isn't a minor or something! What is even the proper age for goblins?!'Aldric wasn't sure how to answer Lavena's ridiculous question. This series of events had surely short-circuited his brain.Lavena nervously got up and came up close to him. She leaned in with her beautiful face.A faint but wonderful scent tickled Aldic's nostrils."If you are not satisfied, s-should I do the blow job that you spoke of last night?"Aldric's jaw dropped and he abruptly raised his hand to stop Lavena from coming any more closer to her."...N-No, I have no need of it." Aldric cleared his throat and changed the atmosphere by changing the topic, "Why are you calling me Your Highness? The last time you called me Lord. ""Yes," Lavera nodded innocently. "The Voice has spoken to us, Your Highness."Aldric furrowed his brows even more."Voice?""You don't know the 'Voice', Your Highness?" Lavena showed a bewildered face before she began to explain, "The Voice is the one who guides us and teaches us monsters. We heard it when we evolved. It is a rare occurrence to hear it since it is not common for monsters to evolve, especially for our kind. The Voice also said that you are our King and that we are your people and that we should follow and serve you, Your Highness."'Is she talking about the system? So, I guess monsters can hear it, too. Yeah, I mean, they can level up too... and evolve.'Aldric nodded."Call in the others."'I wonder how much the goblins and the wolves changed.'****Aldric is currently looking at the bowing Goblins. Their faces were facing the ground but Aldric was able to see how much the goblins had evolved.He was so shocked by how much they changed that he could barely even speak.Aldric expected them to have a monstrous appearance because the Kijins he sees in games are gigantic and ugly but the Kijins he sees look human-like except for their skin color, which has become ashen rather than green, and each one of them has a single white horn on their forehead.Some of their hair had changed colors.One thing that Aldric notices is that the goblins also have a tattoo that runs across their face and neck. There were also different markings on their chests.'Lavena has too. Their tattoos look the same as mine. They appeared when I got the Gluttony skill. I wonder... if these tattoos mean that I got an evolution like the goblins...or something else.'"You are awake, Your Highness; I hope that you had plenty of rest," Grom said, bringing Aldric back to reality. "We hope that you had the greatest time last night. I'm honored to have my daughter be the first wife of our King.""I-I see..." Aldric mumbled, hiding his embarrassment.'Since there wasn't a wall that separated us, I'm sure they heard the noises last night. H-How embarrassing! They don't look affected so... I will just move on.'Aldric stopped his gaze at the little goblin, Drub, when he noticed that he had different looks from others.He still looks small, his skin is still green, and there are no horns protruding from his head—he still looks the same as he was before.Although his face was facing the ground, Aldric was able to notice that he wasn't in a good mood and was on the verge of crying.'Did he not evolve like the others? Why does he still look the same?' Aldric could not hide his emotion, and this caused a misunderstanding among the goblins, eliciting visible panic from them."Your Highness, are you displeased with our evolution? Did we not meet your expectations?" Grom asked, worry etched on his goblin face as he felt the change in Aldric's aura and emotion.Aldric shook his head."No, Grom. I am just surprised by the extent of the changes. It's not displeasure; it's curiosity," Aldirc said, putting his other thoughts aside. "Stand up. Let me see your new forms."'Honestly, I just don't want to see your butts as you prostrate to the ground in those ragged clothes,' Aldric thought with a mental grimace.As he commanded, Grom and the goblins stood, revealing their transformed appearances.Grom, who was once wrinkled with a short stature, had grown in size and strength, his muscles almost rippling under his skin. His eyes were still black, but now those eyes were sharper.His long silver hair was tied back, and like the others, he had a pair of small horns on both sides of his forehead and a long silver goatee.'He seemed far younger now. He had looked about ready to keel over at any moment before, but now he looked like a warrior.'Of course, it wasn't only Grom who had changed significantly.The other goblins were the same; the two shaking idiots who guarded the door all night, Brak and Vork, had changed significantly. They now had a muscular build, and well-defined muscles were visible on their arms, chest, and abdomen, and the same can be said for the others as well—except for Drub.‘Did he not get the same evolution as others?

This little goblin is?’ Aldric was once again taken aback. ‘Those skills! I was excited to use them! They got taken too, but does my choice of skills really influence their evolution?' Aldric's mind wondered as he looked at the little goblin with curiosity.Drub, not knowing how powerful he had become, he was depressed. He woke up to find out that this family had evolved. Their bodies weren't weak-looking anymore, but when he saw his body and face with no horns and no change, he was disappointed. He wanted to cry but held back his tears. Just when he thought that it was his chance to be strong and finally be able to protect their new Lord! He didn't want someone in his family to fall into the hands of humans.Unlike his fellow goblins, Drub families were killed by humans. His mother was killed by an adventurer. He saw how the adventurer skinned his mother after slashing her head to sell his body parts to the guild, and his father died, avenging her death by going to the vil
Aldric removed the door he made and found it clean, without any blood on it, as he expected.The poisons and venoms were all used up, too. Aldric maintained his skill 'Five Senses Super-enhancement' throughout the night just to be careful since he knew that the night would be long and he was worried that high-level monsters would appear and the door might not hold up, but it proved effective.‘Maybe there's no high-level monsters last night and only weak ones?’The goblins said that low-level monsters don't have the ability to think and will just attack anyone they see so the weak monsters mindlessly attack the door, mistaking it for Aldric due to the scent of his blood.Aldric leveled up multiple times, but it eventually plateaued. The monsters were so low-level that further advancement became challenging.He needs to hunt a stronger monster for him to level up again.''No, blood and no bodies. It was the same with the spider last time, too. When its corpse hit the sun, not even its

They can sense that someone stronger than them is living here now. They must have moved somewhere. ”The wolves nodded in agreement, confirming Lavena's explanation.Aldric didn't say anything and thought, 'There's a possibility that it could just not be me. A terrifying aura is coming out of these monsters who were once goblins and these Shadow Wolves who were once Curse Monsters. It is reasonable that the monsters run away out of fear, but this isn't good for us. With the additional mouths to feed, we need a stable source of food. We also need water. ’The biggest issue of all, however, was where the heck he was gonna keep all these guys. Th

They told her not to come and called for help from other elven kingdoms instead, but Thessalia was confident that she could defeat the mere humans who attacked their town.As the High Elf Princess , she was powerful, possessing a huge mana pool at a very young age, and even if she was outnumbered, she could easily defeat anyone who crosses her path.“How dare mere humans attack us?

“A dungeon?!”As someone who played games and read manhwas and novels in his free time, Aldric knows what dungeons are.“In RPG games, Dungeons are where heroes navigate a dungeon, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find.”“Does the Dungeon that the World Wide Shop have the same as those games? I wonder if the place is livable. Well, there's only one way to know.” Aldric clicked the dungeon on the interface screen, and as he did, an information panel immediately appeared, displaying details about the dungeon.Name: No Name DungeonPrice: 1,000,555,555,555Rank: Phantasmal Classification: Artifact Ability: Uses the coin system.

Aldric and Lavena ride the wolves with ease. As Lavena said, Aldric didn't sense and see any monsters. It gave the illusion that the land was completely safe.Thankfully, due to Aldric's skill, ‘Mount’, he didn't find the travel difficult at all, but he felt uncomfortable with Lavena's hand touching him.“This is like a date, isn't it, Your Highness?” Lavena shyly said, and Aldric could feel her breath on his neck as she spoke. Aldric didn't say anything.Lavena chuckled softly, her voice tinged with amusement. "I've never been on a date before," she admitted. Even though Aldric could not see Lavena's expression, Aldric could imagine Lavena's blushing. "Amarok, do you remember anything from before? From when you were just a Cursed?" Aldric asked to change the atmosphere between them, and he already planned to ask them because of his curiosity about the wolves and why he could name them and make them normal monsters.If this has always been easy to control them, then the world woul
‘Five pillars… and they are seven sins. I got two, so that leaves me with five. Does this mean that the dungeon will transform once again once I get them all? If this is how much the dungeon transformed with just two sins, how much will it transform when I get the remaining five?’ Aldric could not help but shudder with his thoughts. ‘But my biggest question is who made this dungeon, and why is there only little information about it?’ Aldric couldn't help but find the dungeon strange. He felt like there was more to it, and he would only find out about it once he knew who made the dungeon, but he had no way of knowing. The shop didn't provide him with more details. 'I wonder—'“We bow before the Supreme Being!”Aldric’s thoughts were interrupted when Lavena, who was behind him, suddenly yelled and knelt down and bowed her head, followed by Amarok. They both spoke in unison, their voices filled with reverence and awe.“Your Highness, you are truly magnificent! To witness such power a

Reader discretion is advised.The Kijins slid off the wolves' back as they arrived at the place where Lavena told them where their new home was located.They didn't believe Lavena at first because it was unbelievable that a home could even be built in this place, but because it was a word from their king, they didn't question it any further. As the Kijins stood outside the Labyrinth of Sins, they gazed upon its imposing structure with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The sheer size and ominous aura of the dungeon filled them with a sense of dread, and they hesitated to approach. They have never seen such a place, and with the statues standing beside the door, they felt even more terrified.They felt like they were in front of a Demon King's castle.“Is this really our home, my daughter?” Grom asked Lavena with his eyes widened in disbelief. “Yes, Father,” Lavena nodded as she stared a
