Aldric screech cut off abruptly as he collapsed onto his back, and his body spasmed. He felt as if something were eating away at him from within.
“Agh— Aghghhhhgh!”Aldric screamed in a way that made everyone wish they could plug their ears.“Shabe— Shave me! Please! It hurts so much! P-Please!”Aldric shouted repeatedly, but there was no one there to help him. He was alone.As time passed, the pain only grew worse. The pain entered his head like his brain and he felt like his head was being squashed and smashed by a metal repeatedly.Aldric felt like his head was gonna burst.“Aaaaaaaaah!!! Wh-What’s— Aaaaaaah!!!”It was unendurable agony. The pain was trying to eat him from the inside out. Aldric writhed on the ground, screaming in terror.“Ahh!” Aldric yelled in pain and agony, the veins in his throat pulsating with the intensity of his suffering.The relentless pain surged through his entire being, threatening to overwhelm his consciousness.His body convulsed involuntarily as if trying to expel the agonizing intrusion."Aaargh! Make it stop!" Aldric's desperate pleas echoed in the cavern, but there was no reprieve from the torment that gripped him.”H-Help!”With a trembling hand, Aldric pulled the Celestial Elixir out of his pocket, ripped the cap off, and poured its contents down his throat.But it did nothing to the pain.“Ahhhh! Why… It hurts! It hurts!” Aldric yelled at the top of his lungs as he gripped his hair.Along with the pain, Aldric began to feel his body throb.He could hear his body creaking inside.“Make it stop!” Aldric screamed incoherently, smacking his head against the wall over and over, but the pain showed no signs of ending.Eventually, his body began to transform. Starting from his roots, his black hair slowly turned white.Then, his muscles and bones began to grow slightly, giving him a toned appearance. Power ran down the inside of his body, and on the side of his face down to his back, a strange red tattoo formed.Aldric screams continued, and after hours, the pain finally receded.He slumped to the ground, his breath ragged, and his body drenched in sweat."Is it over?"Aldric raised his robotic arm and used it as a mirror.Examining his reflection on the polished surface of his robotic arm, Aldric was met with a sight that both fascinated and unnerved him.His once-black hair had turned a striking shade of white, and there was a red tattoo that adorned his face, extending down his back.His eyes, once a mundane brown, now held a glint of otherworldly crimson. And the most shocking of it all, his fat body had transformed into a toned physique.His fats were gone, and his cheeks that looked like bloated cushions now displayed defined contours, enhancing his facial features.“Is this… me?” he whispered, his voice carrying a mix of wonder and uncertainty. “Where did all the fat go?”Aldric's hand trembled as he touched the red tattoo on his face, tracing the intricate patterns."What the hell happened? Is it because I consumed so many skills than normal?"The transformation he got was more than just physical; it seemed to have awakened something dormant within him.He didn't look like his old self anymore, and if he met someone who knew him, he doubted that they would be able to recognize him.“My body felt surprisingly light, and it felt like power was overflowing from within me.”Aldric stood up and lifted his shirt, which looked more like a rag. He looked over his stomach and saw very prominent muscles.“Wow! My belly that looked like a balloon is now a six-pack! I feel like I have grown a few inches taller too," Aldric said as he looked down. "So this is what taller people see. What happened to my body? Is this why the system warned me about buying so many skills at once?I feel different somehow...I should check my status window...”Status WindowName: Aldric FellonLevel: 30Race: HumanClass: KingTitle: The Human from the Otherworld.

I should check everything. ”“Appraise Wrath.”[Wrath (Max Level)-Power capable of reaching the Gods.-Increase stats by 10,000.-Projects an aura that unsettles opponents, making them more susceptible to fear and impairing their combat effectiveness.-The more enraged you become, the greater the enhancement to your physical and combat abilities.Obtained when an individual has uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and even hatred. Wrath reveals itself in the wish to seek vengeance.]“How terrifying. This is basically a cheat skill, isn't it? But, it came from the seven deadly sins, so it's giving me an ominous feeling.” After letting out a sigh, Aldric uses Appraisal on the skill Gluttony next.[Gluttony (Max Level)-Power capable of reaching the Gods.-Increase stats by 10,000.-Gluttony, the insatiable hunger that devours all.Obtained when an individual displays an unending desire for power and consumes relentlessly. Gluttony manifests as an ever-growing hunger for strength and dominance.]“Gluttony, huh? Feels like I'm living in some dark fantasy novel now.” Aldric chuckled. “I got titles related to them, too. I should use Appraisal on them, too.”[Ruler of Wrath-A title granted to one who has conquered Wrath.-Causes the user to become obsessed with their hatred.-Increase stats by 10,000.][Ruler of Gluttony-A title granted to one who has conquered Gluttony.-Causes the user to instantly feel severe hunger whenever the SP bar is not full.-Everything you eat will convert into SP, HP, and MP-Increase stats by 10,000.]“So I'm out of health and mana I can just eat.”Aldric used Appraisal on the new skills he got, too, though he ended up giving up halfway.Overall, he now has 34,596 skills and abilities.Some of them are passive, and some that he can activate if he wishes to.One skill made him interested, the Power Devourer, which allows him to absorb and assimilate the strength of defeated opponents and the skill of Cannibalization, which allows him to absorb skills and abilities by devouring beings—humans even.“This is totally cheating, isn't it? If this was a game, I would be mod banned immediately.”The next thing that he did was put the martial arts book on his inventory using the spatial magic he got.“I will use it after I find food. I'm so hungry I could die.****ALDRIC decided to go out of the cave.“It will be night again, and I won't know what kind of monsters will appear. I might use this cave as a shelter for now, but I need something to block the entrance. I also need to hunt something to eat—”As soon as Aldric stepped out of the cave, his eyes widened at the sight before him.The landscape stretched out before him—a barren land.The soil was dry, cracked, and devoid of any vegetation, and there were no animals to hunt.“What the hell is this?” Aldric erupted as his jaw clenched. “That bitch! She really sent me to die! How the fuck am I going to survive this? Fuck, should I have not spent all my coins? I could have brought food but I wasn't really thinking right that time.”He’s fucked and he knows it.Rather than being killed by the monster, he will die of starvation and thirst first.“That evil Queen!” Aldric was about to punch the wall in front of him when he suddenly remembered the words that the Queen said before he sent him here to die. “She definitely said something about the spider laying eggs. C-Can I eat spider eggs?”“No, I don't have the luxury to be picky. I can use fire magic to cook it but I don't have anything to burn. There is no tree and to cook an egg, I need either water or oil. I have water since I can summon it with my magic but I can't just bring myself to eat a spider's egg. I can't help but remember that monster's face.”Aldric sighed. It looks like revenge is still far away for him.“I should explore the land first. There might be something I can hunt.”ALDRIC has been walking for almost an hour now.Thankfully, his stamina has increased thanks to the level up he hot and the bunos he got from Wrath and Gluttony. He also brought the skill ‘Endurance,’ so it was impossible for him to get tired quickly."I'm still not used to my body. I felt so light, and I'm not gasping for air no matter what I do. When I was fat, even getting up make me feel like I ran a marathon."Aldric checked his stomach which has gotten hard with muscles once again to checked that he wasn't dreaming at all. "Even my junior has changed significantly. It grew big for some reason," Aldric commented. He checked it last night and he was shocked to see it. Aldric shooked his head and put all the dirty thoughts aside.“It's daylight, so I won't find Demonic Monster but just normal monsters, but that doesn't mean I should let my guard down. Although I have grown stronger, I still don't know how strong I have become. I'm still clueless of my other skills,” Aldric mumbled
THEY were green and small in size, and some of them were almost skin to bones and filled with wounds.‘I guess even monsters are affected by the curse,’ Aldric said in the back of his mind as he kept observing them without uttering a word.The gobliins' faces were dirty and devoid of intelligence. Their swords had rust on them, and their armor was thin and torn at the edges. Some of them were dressed in nothing but stained rags. Their suken eyes that showed signed of dehydration, as well as their weapons, were trained on Aldric, although a few of them were ready to flee at the least provocation. Aldric smelt blood on them. Blood of other goblins.[Appraisal Activated][Name: Unnamed Goblin][Level: 5][Stats: - HP: 35/35 - MP: 15/15 - STR: 8 - AGI: 5 - INT: 2][Skills: - Basic Swordsmanship - Scavenge][Info: A small and weak goblin, often treated as the lowest rank among their kind. Their survival skills are essential in harsh environments, and they rely on scavenging and ba
HAVING dealt with all of that, Aldric gave Goblins the scales that he got from killing Gila Monsters and made them pile into a neat stack. But because the Gila's Monster scale was strong and sharp, he warned them to be careful, but it didn't take long before one of the goblins accidentally cut themselves on the sharp edge of a scale.Thankfully, the female goblin was there to heal them. Aldric found out that from the female goblin that the reason for her skin color being different wasnt because she was a woman but because she was special from the others.Aldric could not understand any of it.[The Goblin (10) has pledged loyalty to King Aldric. Goblins are now under your command.][Your Kingdom grows stronger.][You have received $1,000,000,000,000][You can now name the Goblins.]Aldric was making a weapon when the translucent screen appeared before him again."Name?" Aldric nodded, having understood what the system meant. "That's good. Since I will be living with them, it will be i
"It is finished, our Lord," the goblin with spiky silver hair said as he approached Aldric. Aldric named him Snik. "We have done as you ordered. The scales have been perfectly arranged."Aldric nodded and stood up. He cast a fire magic on the scales and burned them until they melted, forming a molten substance. As the molten substance glowed with intense heat, Aldric skillfully manipulated it, shaping the material into a door that fits the cave's entrance."How powerful!""Our Lord is powerful!"The elder goblin Grom and the others yelled with awe.But Aldric wasn't finished. He put another layer of scales and attached them to the door. This time, he didn't melt it and just used the fire magic to melt the back of the scales so they would stick together. He then took the venom he got from the Gila Monster and poured it on the scales, and he conjured a small amount of his own poison-infused blood, adding it to the venom-coated scales. After all of that work, he used 'All Healing' to
As soon as he said that, a spectral aura enveloped the space, and Aldric's shadow became alive. It flickered like there was an ethereal flame within it. The atmosphere grew heavy as if the very air was responding to Aldric's command, and then coming out of Aldric's shadow were the forty-five Dread Wolves, slowly materializing.Their haunting eyes fixed on Aldric, ready to heed his commands. Right at this moment, the goblins outside the room felt an ominous yet familiar presence. They exchanged glances, immediately grabbed their weapons, and hurriedly ran towards their Lord, praying that nothing had happened.But as soon as they stepped inside, what they saw made them tremble with fear. They couldn't even move as they exchanged a glance with the monsters before them."P-Protect the Lord!" It was the elder goblin who broke the silence between the Goblins, but although he said that, he too was trembling uncontrollably.He couldn't even move from his spot. He gritted his teeth and swal
IT took Aldric three seconds to comprehend her sudden seductive presence, and he stammered, "L-Lavena, what do you mean by 'serve'?"'What is the point of asking, Aldric? You know what it means!' Aldric could feel his heart racing. After only being bullied and the women being only disgusted with him, Aldric never had any experience with a woman.He didn't think about doing it or having a relationship with a woman because he only thought so lowly of himself. He already accepted himself that he would die a virgin.Suddenly, Lavena leaned in, her lips grazing Aldric's ear as she whispered, "Anything you desire, my Lord. I am yours to command." Her touch sent shivers down Aldric's spine, and he couldn't deny the magnetic pull of her enticing offer.Aldric reddened as he gulped the saliva that he didn't know was coating hia mouth, his gaze lingered on Lavena and finally noticed that she was completely naked. Aldric didn't know where to look, and now she was close enough that he could fee
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..." Lavena's red face became even redder.'Appraisal.'

‘Assassin? 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
