Chapter 04

A few minutes passed...

Izaki picked up all the objects left by the previous monsters.

Be it bird feathers, strange armor, crystal nuclei, and many more, the storage in the system was full.

This made Izaki confused about how to accommodate the rest of the objects left behind.

However, a solution was soon found. Izaki saw many rings scattered on the ground.

Curious about the ring, Izaki took one and checked it immediately. he felt his eyes shift in an instant.

A huge space appeared in his eyes. "Is this ring a space ring?"

Izaki was very happy and he finally put all the looted items into the space ring. even the loot in the system storage space also entered the space ring.

Now, after collecting all the loot. Izaki's focus is now focused on the portal ticket and evolution stone.

"System, take out the evolution stone." izaki said lightly, then a stone the same size as the resurrection stone appeared in his right hand.

This stone is entirely blue, without anything else unique.

"How to use this thing?" Izaki asked in confusion, then the system provided prompts.

[Just destroy the crystal and a choice option will come out.]

Hear a brief explanation from the system. Izaki immediately destroyed the crystal.

Pyar!

The blue light came out of the crystal and then entered Izaki's body. Just then two system options appeared right in front of him.

[Evolutionary Path.]

[- Gray Wolf.]

[- Snow White Wolf.]

[- Sharp Timber Wolf.]

[- Predatory Water Wolf.]

Seeing the four types of wolves, Izaki became confused in an instant.

"Describe each of these evolutionary paths." izaki asked the system to explain each wolf's evolutionary path.

[- Gray Wolf.]

[Wolves that inhabit steep valley areas. This wolf utilizes its senses in hunting and its strength exceeds that of ordinary wolves.]

[Gray Wolf Element: Wind and Dust.]

[Next Evolution Path: 3 Paths.]

[- Snow White Wolf.]

[In the Far North, there is a place covered in thick snow. This place was the Snow White Wolf's territory. They are strong and mighty, their strength rivals that of Polar Bears.]

[Element: Ice and Snow.]

[Next Evolution Path: 2 Paths.]

[- Sharp Timber Wolf.]

[The deepest hill is precisely in the forest. There is a group of wood monsters that have the form of wolves. This monster is strong and hard, especially its body.]

[Elements: Wood, Steel, and Plants.]

[Next Evolution Path: 1 Path.]

[Predatory Water Wolf.]

[The open sea is so terrifying, fifty meters deep to be precise. There lived a water-bodied Wolf. They are not strong, just their speed and tactics are quite terrifying.]

[Element: Water.]

[Next Evolution Path: 5 Paths.]

Seeing each explanation regarding wolf evolution, Izaki suddenly fell silent. Unexpectedly every evolution is really strong.

"It's hard to decide the next step of evolution," Izaki said in a low tone.

It was clear he was confused about which one to choose.

"System is the evolution path one time. In the future, there will be no more evolution paths?" Izaki asked in confusion.

[There is a Host. The meaning of the evolutionary path itself is like this, level one has two evolution choices, level two has one evolution choice and level three may have another evolution choice.]

"Is there a table regarding evolutionary development?" Izaki asked in a hopeful tone.

[Unfortunately, there isn't, the Host will have to look for it himself.]

"However, will it reach the same peak later?" Izaki asked again even though he was initially disappointed because he didn't get the evolution table.

[Everything is equal, only the elements will focus more on the elements chosen by the Host.]

Hearing that, Izaki suddenly realized and this time his eyes immediately turned towards one option, namely the Sharp Wood Wolf.

"That's right, element..." Izaki immediately suppressed the evolution of the Sharp Wood Wolf.

Just then, Izaki's entire body glowed with a brown color. After the brown color, there is a gold color that stands out.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host Has Evolved to the second form.]

"Good, first count the gifts I have."

[There are 240 Rewards, Host.]

"Hah... Why increase it to fifty gifts?" Izaki tilted his head in confusion.

[The total from the start is 250 Prizes, Host.]

[Task Completion is indeed 200 Rewards.]

[However, completion of the Portal itself earns a bonus of 50.]

[The reward for completing the next portal returns to normal, namely five prizes.]

Izaki was suddenly stunned, then he smiled because he got so many gifts.

"System, use the portal to transfer the ticket to a place that is quiet of humans," Izaki said lightly.

[Understood, Host!]

***

Hika Mountains...

a red portal appeared right at the top of the mountain.

This portal slowly revealed a young man wearing tattered clothes.

"This place..." Izaki looked around the area, all he saw were rocks and vast rolling clouds.

"I'm in the mountains?" Izaki said in a surprised tone. It was unexpected that he would be flown to the top of the mountain.

Before Izaki could react further, the red portal broke and then shattered into pieces of red dust.

Just then, the system panel appeared and provided information regarding where Izaki was.

[Hika Mountains.]

[A place located between two cities namely the Elf City, Viridian, and the Spirit City, Yokan.]

[This mountain range is the border of the two cities, but no race dares to enter this place because powerful monsters exist here.]

[The Hika Mountains themselves are a closed place, so every race is prohibited from entering. It's just that the prohibition doesn't apply at all.]

Izaki heard the explanation, silently nodding in understanding.

Just then, a feeling of danger appeared right behind him. This made Izaki turn around and become alert.

You can see the figure of a large snake three meters wide. The length of this snake itself is twenty meters. two long, pointed fangs were visible at the corners of its mouth.

Shh!

The snake hissed violently, its eyes radiating killing intent.

Izaki realized one thing, that the snake was hungry.

Even so, Izaki didn't hesitate like before. The corners of this young man's mouth started to grin and he was ready to fight again.

"Really, after gaining a new power. Something that can be used to try it has appeared."

Izaki's eyes flashed, and then his entire body was covered in wood that was shiny like steel.

after entering half-wolf mode. Izaki stomped his feet on the ground and he moved quickly towards the snake in front.

Shh!

The snake hissed loudly, and then its tail swept forward, trying to attack the creature right in front of it.

Izaki saw the snake's tail attack, immediately clenched his fist, and hit the tail hard.

Bang!

A loud impact occurred, and the snake retreated three meters. Meanwhile, Izaki withdrew ten meters from where the meeting was located.

Izaki's eyes were focused on the snake in front of him. "System, do you know what snake is ahead?"

[Iron Steel Snake.]

[Level : 3.]

[Elements: Steel and Iron.]

Hearing the system's explanation, he was quite surprised that the snake in front was a level three monster.

"Do third-order monsters have such tough defenses?!"

To be Continued.
