In an unknown realm where darkness prevails and no light can reach, a shakled being opens his eyes.
This being was held in the air by golden chains that were not connected to anything. His neck, waist, arms, and legs were all chained.
"Hmm? A transmigrator? In my world? This... this might be my chance." The chained being's voice was rough, as if he hadn't drunk anything in years. His voice reverberated throughout the whole realm, even when he wasn't speaking loudly, and his white hair danced with the air.
"Finally... after 3 thousand years of being locked in this shithole, I have a chance of being free." The being spoke softly, hope could be felt from his voice.
"Let's see. What kind of blessing should I give him? Oh, that one will be good." He calmed himself down and browsed through his arsenal of useful skills.
"Now all I have to do is wait for him to come here... I'm looking forward to meeting you, Draco Valenstein."

Draco woke up groggily as he cracked his joints.
"Oof! It really isn't a good idea to sleep on the ground!" He complained.
"Hmm? Why is my skin black? and what's with these golden tattoos? They look like chains. Well they're cool so I can't complain." Draco was confused as he checked his body and was then surprised at how different it was from when he just slept.

"System, why didn't you remove the shamelessness racial trait?" Draco looked at his status and his excitement quickly switched to confusion.
[It Was Deemed That Such A Trait Will Be An Advantage For The Host As A Being Following The Demonic Path.]
"What Advantageous? Can I remove it?" Draco wasn't so happy with the trait.
[It Is Possible During The Next Evolution, Host.]
"Ah... Forget it, Shamelessness tends to be a good trait." Draco sighed.
"Now, how do I proceed from here?" He sat down again and began contemplating.
"Should I just relax here and pass the time? I mean, I have 5 days of protection, well 4 now."
"Maybe go around and start hunting all kinds of creatures to evolve fast and then aim to conquer this forest? After that, I can go look for humans to devour them and gain their powers, They probably have jobs or classes instead of evolution."
Draco began seriously planning his next move. He even thought of infiltrating a human city and becoming an adventurer, but thinking about it for a bit, he had too much potential to just wait on a slow grind.
He needed to speed through the realms as fast as he could and when he had no choice but to slow down, he could take his time to perfect himself then.
"I think I'll stay in this forest for now." Draco said.
[If you want to follow that path, then the host can infiltrate the goblin village and when the chance comes you can strike the shaman and from there you will have an army] The system suggested. However, even Draco himself found that this wasn't a good plan. It seems like he should think well even if the system recommends him to do something, or at least within its first stages.
[Furthermore, depending on your evolution speed, you might have a hard time progressing to higher realms, since, starting from the third evolution, you will have to fulfill conditions before you can evolve, and from what I can predict, you could even have a condition like conquering the forest within a limited amount of time.] The system added.
"Conquering the forest AND within a time limit? That's..." Draco didn't know what to say. If he looked at it from this angle, then it probably was a good idea to take the slow approach so he wouldn't risk obtaining such conditions.
"I don't know how big this forest is yet but just from what I've seen it should be huge, However, the monsters shouldn't be too strong; after all, they only gain 990 SP per evolution; just devouring a ton of them can help me reach higher levels in no time."
[You might be right, host. However, the residents of this world have other ways to progress other than just leveling up and evolving. Similarly, there is a wide difference between all races, the same way your Demonic Goblin race is better than most of the others.] The System Warned Him.
"Well... this sucks." Draco was stunned for a moment.
"I will first go to the goblin village, and from there, I will decide what to do."
