After Partner’s evolution, I looked at my own stats before my own evolution…

Hmm, I look pretty fine as I am now.

Let’s see how more amazing I can get by evolving now!

[Evolution Options]

[Abyssal Shadow Ghost Queen]

[Abyssal Phantom Ghost Queen]

[Pandora]

…

Hm? There are two clear upgrades to my current evolution, and then… Just Pandora.

Alright…

What the hell is Pandora, and why is the name so simple compared to the other two?

…

[Pandora]

A never seen before Astral-type Undead monster that is only spoken in ancient myths and legends of the Majin Race.

It is said that these phantasmal creatures bring calamity, famine, and death wherever they go, and their existences are like Pandora’s box that unleashes all evil into the world.

Only on incredibly rare occasions, an Abyssal Ghost Queen will be able to undergo evolution into this race. And whoever it is, it will most likely change the world as it is…

…

Wow. Reading the other evolutionary descriptions, I realized they don’t sound as awesome. Alright! I have decided.

Ding!

[You’ve selected the [Pandora] Evolution Option!]

FLAAAAAASH!

An explosion of phantasmal power crawled up my body, consuming me and engulfing me in complete darkness. My entire body exuded this darkness as more of it came out endlessly.

*Creeaak…!*

Suddenly, I heard as if a very creaky door opened inside of my soul, and a large amount of black clouds filled with poison were released from me, fusing back into my soul and upgrading it even more…

“What the heck is going on now?!”

Lucifer was so scared he moved away a bit.

“Master! Big! Big!”

Partner began to raise her arms while looking at me.

POOF!

The evolution ended with a loud explosion of black smoke releasing everywhere. This smoke was poisonous and killed all the plants and tiny creatures that lived in the vicinity.

“Oh boy! I evolved already….”

Ding!

[You’ve evolved into [Pandora]!]

[All your stats have increased!]

[You learned the [Aura of Famine: Lv1], [Disease and Poison Creation: Lv1], [Pandora’s Box: Lv1], [Materialization: Lv1] and [Elemental Resistance: Lv1] Skills!]

[You acquired the [Evil of the World: Lv1] Title Skill!]

“Evil of the World?! Seriously? I am that unique? I was just reborn as a ghost like half a week ago….”

“W-What have you become?” asked Lucifer.

“Pandora,” I said.

“Pandora? …I-Impossible! THAT Pandora?! From the Majin’s tales?! It was real?” Lucifer shouted, shocked by my single word.

“I am real, so yeah,” I said.

“Incredible…”

“Fueheh, you’re finally admiring my greatness?” I asked.

“W-Well… Maybe…”

“Don’t worry. I am a very humble Pandora! Ah?”

I suddenly realized that I got a lot of new Skills… Let’s see them in my status first!

…

Ooh! I am even more incredible now… A-And even more of a glass cannon… Well, my strength increased a tiny bit alongside my defense and HP, yaay!

The real monster is here.

And the reason why I am C+ Rank is most likely my Mana and Magic stats. They’re completely through the roof, all thanks to Supreme Magic! But I should have asked for a Supreme All Rounder instead. I am beginning to regret not having asked for more. And then there’s also the Goddess Unique Skill which I have no clue when it will be unlocked…

Anyways, the new Skills were interesting.

[Aura of Famine: Lv1]

Generate an Aura of Famine that automatically drains Life out of any being around you. Can be fused with [Life Drain] for a greater and wider range of effect. Power depends on skill level and Magic Stat.

…

[Disease and Poison Creation: Lv1]

Grants the ability to create poison and diseases using your power over Death. The power is dependent on skill level, Magic Stat, and the resistances of the targets.

…

[Pandora’s Box: Lv1]

Open the Box of Pandora and unleash complete and utter chaos through an explosion of poison, darkness, chaos, and abyssal shadows. A powerful Area of Effect Magic Attack that generates an Aura of Evil around you, provoking madness and confusion to those around you.

…

[Materialization: Lv1]

Materialize your own phantasmal body into a physical one through the constant expenditure of Mana. Depending on the Magic stat and the skill level, the realism of your materialized body increases.

…

[Elemental Resistance: Lv1]

Grants resistance to all elemental damage, enhancing your defense with elemental attacks by 10% with each level.

…

[Evil of the World: Lv1]

You are the incarnation of all evil in this world. You’re naturally talented in bringing disasters wherever you travel to, and your development is significantly enhanced with each level.

…

I see… So I can materialize! Ah, and I guess I will bring disasters… Not like I care anymore, hahaha! I am a ghost now, so why would I care?

Now… [Materialization]!

FLASH!

My phantasmal body suddenly got even more “real” than my previous way of materializing.

Legs finally came out as my pale-white skin surged amidst my abyssal soul. My eyes were crimson red, and my hair was long and silvery-white… Damn, I am quite pretty compared to my previous life…

“Y-You materialized?” Lucifer stuttered.
