Chapter 293: Side Chapter: In Search For a Cute Girl

-----

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Rank has reached Level 100!]

[The Levels of several Skills have increased!]

[You acquired the [Mind Attack: Level 1], [No Attribute Magic: Level 1], [Chant Revocation: Level 1], [Shield Technique: Level 1], [Armor Technique: Level 1], [Unarmed Fighting Technique: Level 1], and [Digestion: Level 1] Skills!]

[The [Unarmed Fighting Technique: Level 1] Skill has been integrated into the [Grotesque Monstrous Soul Fighting Technique: Level 2] Skill!]

[The [Digestion: Level 1] Skill has been integrated into the [Uroboros: Level 2] Skill!]

[Evolution is now available!]

Hm, I killed a bunch of monsters bust just recently I reached max level?

What?

I am clearly stronger than a lot of the Rank 7 or above monsters in here… Why can't I instantly evolve up to that?

Well, whatever, I must be lagging the system or something.

Also, I am pretty sure that, according to Ervas and Veronica, Monsters can Rank Up automatically…

Why do I get the choice then?

Well, whatever. 

I got a bunch of new skills, although some were similar or inferior versions of some I already had, so they were integrated into those I had previously.

Anyways, as I revealed the dragon god within the crystal ball, this fellow came out.

Araba, the Dragon God of the Underground.

What a fancy name.

But what's up with his divinity?

Nothing good at all.

What could come of such a lame divinity anyways?

What? Am I being a bit too merciless?

Well pardon me, but I believe that something with a bit more power could be more appreciated for our team.

Especially when we consider that the guy literally sealed himself out of fear in the middle of that war.

Well, that war was pretty scary, to be honest…

A bit.

Ervas and Veronica said that the war was across the entire damn world of Kritias, and the Gods fought against each other like crazy.

I guess I would be a bit frightened or at least concerned if that were to happen…

But this guy just got it to a completely new level, he employed all of his powers to create a labyrinth and then seal himself inside just so no one ever could find him out.

But I guess the dungeon that he created ended up ruining his plan because he ended up with us when we killed this Grakgna guy.

Such a pity, Ervas, and Veronica should have just eaten this guy.

I wonder if they would have gotten Earth Attribute Magic, he's an earth attribute god after all…

Well, no point arguing, they are the bosses in here.

I have been reduced to a side character!

Not like I mind!

I have to admit it, it is quite relaxing to finally take the backseat and see as the protagonist do their thing…

Ah, as if this were a novel or something, never mind.

It is quite relaxing, to be honest, I do not have to think about the safety of everyone all the time and stuff.

Although I actually still do it…

But because my strength is limited, I can only do so much, so I leave most of the work to them.

But well, after having to take care of a Kingdom for so long, you get tired…

So this place as a side character is not bad at all, I get to relax and also to adventure around.

Although I have not found any cute girl yet…

No, more like there are tons of cute girls.

But I do not want to force my way into them or anything, after all, they see me as some kind of eldritch horror…

But yeah, my main body has a giant harem in my homeworld.

Although I was made from her mind, I am different…

And that harem… well, they are not my wives anymore, technically.

So it is a bit disheartening!

But nothing to do, I am sure that the main body is taking care of them.

Well, my mind was a bit edited by the main body, so I do not feel too attached to her lovers and children.

Although I still see my children there as mine!

Well, it would not be a bad idea to get me a cute girlfriend in here or something…

Yeah, I like girls by the way!

Hm…

There are a lot of males always glancing at me with some lust, but I often ignore them.

My mind was made by the main body, so I actually do not like guys, because I used to be a formerly straight man in my original Earth.

I liked cute monster girls a lot back then… Man, I loved them in all kinds of media I could find!

And when I was finally reincarnated into a fantasy world and all the tropes and stuff, I surely had to gather a harem of cute monster girls!

And it sure is freaking big!

Damn, but now, I am not with them…

Sigh…

And my charm does not work so it is hard to charm others, so the relationships and bonds do not advance so fast…

But I guess that in my fairy form I am still quite attractive, I gotta find some girl that likes girls.

Anna seems to be one, but she is in love with Veronica, so she is a no.

Who else?

Ismene?

I am pretty sure she likes guys.

Err…

Draconia?

No, she's just a recently made zombie girl with the mind of a toddler.

What else?

Err…

All the girls around Ervas and Veronica are only into guys, sadly.

I think I used to get through this barrier with my charm…

I know it sounds weird!

I really know!

But it's not like I forced my way or something, they just found me attractive.

Oh right, I guess I did a lot of good deeds for them when they were in need, so that also helped out.

Maybe I should do the same in here?

Find a cute girl in need and help her out…

Ah, well, I could think about this stuff later…

This is hard, well, I just got in this world, so I am sure that I can get a lot of time to think things out and sort my mind.

Ugh, why am I like this?

I was actually going to think of other stuff, but my mind went completely elsewhere!

My main objective here is to help out Ervas and Veronica as much as I can, this is the main objective, finding a cute girl will come later.

Oh right, there is the other objective of absorbing this world's source energy, which I am constantly doing while transmitting it all to the main body.

Sigh, whatever will I do now?

So many responsibilities, but I must do them all, for the better of my main body and my beloved family there.

Anyways, as we move to the surface while chatting with the dragon god, I decide to evolve in the way.

I search through this System and find available evolution options.

[Available Evolution Options]

[Rank 6: Divine Otherworldly Vampiric Aberration of Chaos, Lust, Gluttony, and Wisdom]

[Rank 6: Divine Otherworldly Phantasmal Aberration of Chaos, Lust, Gluttony, and Souls]

Two options greet my sight, both of them look interesting.

What should I pick?

Can I see their details?

No, I can't.

After all, I don't have my trusty Appraisal!

It's sealed…

Damn it.

Well, I select the Wisdom Evolution, as it might bring a few Skills that could be useful for what I am planning to do…

No wait, I stop before selecting it.

This other is about Souls…

Maybe I could strengthen my soul with it?

Maybe it could increase its quality so Ervas and Veronica can eat more of it and get more power?

Or maybe I could unlock some of my Soul Manipulation Skills, even the Reincarnation cycle, or the Inner Realm: Soul World Skill!

I think I was also able to raise the dead and summon undead out of thin air.

And there was also the whole thing of my soul being incredibly powerful and stuff.

Perhaps I could awaken some of the divinities that were within my main body.

I should have them, at least tiny bits of them.

Just like Sin of Lust Fragment, right?

Then it should be possible to produce something like… I don't know, Poison Divinity Fragment?

Maybe this is too much wishful thinking.

Anyways, I changed my mind, and I pick the second option instead!

Ding!

I immediately begin to evolve, as my body is shrouded in bright white light!

Flash!

Then, my mind begins to flow with new info, and new power is surging in my soul!

I am unlocking some of my sealed power, sweet!

Then, the evolution finally ends, and I did not change at all.

Not at all!

Ding!

[You Ranked up into [Rank 6: Divine Otherworldly Phantasmal Aberration of Chaos, Lust, Gluttony, and Souls]!]

[You acquired the [Corrosive Venom Divinity Fragment: Level 1], [Corrosive Venom Attribute Magic: Level 1], [Phantom Soul Attribute Magic: Level 1], [Ritual Magic: Level 1], and [Enlightenment: Soul Path: Level 1] Skills!]

[The Levels of several Skills have increased!]

Wait, what?!

I got a ton of amazing Skills!

Look at them, so precious…

They are… amazing!

Just what I did not expect from a single evolution… so with each one, my power unlocks more?

Because this is a lot!

So maybe that is why I take so long to evolve… even if at a low rank…

These skills are amazing, I even got Megunsa's poison back.

Megusan was a Venom Demigod I ate, which gave me his Venom power.

It can literally melt almost anything, and I can employ this power on my soul, or well, in the magic itself too.

Phantom Soul Attribute Magic is especially useful too, at the time of healing souls and stuff…

And Ritual Magic as well is very handy, you will see later on.

And… well, well.

I got an Enlightenment Skill.

These skills help other people get enlightenment, pretty much.

So it might help everyone get stronger and get more ideas to use their powers, although this one is about the souls.

Wait, isn't Enlightenment like a charm?

Maybe I am getting my charm back?

I do not think it will be that easy…

But well, this is already pretty amazing.

As I finish my mental rambling, we reach the Igni Kingdom.

Phew, home sweet home.

Oh, I guess I already see this place as my home, huh?

I want to sleep in a nice bed…
