Chapter 100: Fire Mage Leader - Korrin

After a few minutes of walking, Ram arrived at a large river, its width spanning nearly 6 to 7 meters. The water rushed westward, turbult waves crashing with a steady roar.

The sound of the water crashing against the rocks created a natural boundary for the cavem tribe living nearby.

Along the relatively flat g by the river's edge was the Cavem Tribe, a surprisingly organized settlemt for such primitive creatures.

Nearly a thousand wood houses of various sizes were scattered a, connected in a loose network that formed the heart of the settlemt.

At the cter stood several stone houses, a few feet taller and sturdier than the others, clearly marking them as the homes of the stronger cavem in the tribe.

From a quick glance, Ram estimated there were about two to three thousand cavem living here.

Their rapid reproduction rate explained the sheer number. Unlike humans, cavem could give birth to five to t childr every year.

And within just a year and a half, these babies would grow into full adults, ready to hunt with the rest of the tribe.

Suring the wood sheds were a few crude planting fields, filled with ordinary grains. The fields were untidy, with weeds sprouting betwe the crops—nothing like the carefully cultivated spiritual fields Ram had se near the Cyber Core District.

These were rough, unkempt, clearly the work of the cavem, but still, it was impressive that they had managed to grasp the concept of farming.

Ram knew that some cavem tribes didn't ev bother with agriculture. They simply scavged or hunted for whatever they could eat, surviving on pure instinct.

This tribe, at least, had tak a step toward a more organized way of life, ev if it was still primitive.

As his gaze swept over the area, he noticed several underg holes near the wood houses. From one of them, a Yellow-toothed rat scurried out.

The black rat was about the size of a normal house cat, with long, sharp teeth and claws. Its body was surprisingly agile for a creature of its size, moving betwe the houses with quick, jerky movemts.

Ram's Spiritual Eye flickered to life as he focused on the creature, bringing up its attribute panel:

[ Name: Yellow-toothed rat]

[ Level: Black Iron]

[ Physique: .6]

[ Spirit: 0.]

[ Introduction: Ordinary wild monsters born with sharp teeth and claws, flexible in shape, distributed all over the world]

[ Racial Skills: Bite, Barrow, Jumping claws]

These rats were nothing extraordinary—common creatures, weak and unimpressive. But their numbers and their ability to burrow made them useful to the cavem.

It was a simple survival tactic. Though cavem were known for their lack of strgth, they had learned to tame low-level monsters like the Yellow-toothed rats to boost their chances of survival.

He scanned the group, noting that Korrin had indeed gathered those with the brightest red auras—the ones with the most evolutionary pottial.

However, the number was much smaller than Ram anticipated. Out of the hundreds he remembered, only thirty stood before him.

He didn't mtion the smaller number. After all, this was a test. Numbers didn't matter right now. His main concern was whether the evolution process could be successfully repeated.

With that thought, Ram shifted his focus to one individual, a caveman who had the fewest evolution points out of the group that Korrin had assembled.

This one stood out for his relatively weaker aura, but Ram was curious to see if ev the weakest could be pushed to evolve under the right conditions.

Korrin approached Ram, head bowed slightly in respect. "Master, these are the strongest of my subordinates," he said, his voice a careful mix of excitemt and reverce. "They are the ones with the greatest pottial to evolve further."

Most of them were still primitive in appearance, with rough skin and animalistic features, seemed to pulse with anticipation as they awaited Ram's command.

Ram, crossing his arms, considered how to proceed. "This is only the beginning," he murmured, his gaze sweeping over the group. "Korrin, we'll start with the weakest. I want to see if they can handle it."

[ Race: Cavem]

[ Level: Black Iron]

[ Quality: Ordinary]

[ Physique: .7]

[ Spirit: 0.4]

[Rapid Reproduction]: Increase reproduction rate and growth rate by an additional 0%]

Looking at the attribute panel, he noted that there were not many differces from Korrin's attribute panel before his evolution.

Except that this one's attributes, whether physical or spiritual, are less than those of Korrin, and there was no innate talt like Korrin, the rest is the same.

The chos caveman—a thin figure with coarse skin and a brutish jaw—stepped forward awkwardly. Its muscles twitched with nervousness, but its eyes held steady, locked on Ram as if seeking approval.

On the other hand, Ram felt a sudd chill of goosebumps from the creature's gaze. "What am I thinking?" he wondered, shaking his head. He raised his hand, channeling the life ergy and spiritual power he had regained into it.
