Rae inspected Karl for changes, as she could feel that he had new skills active on the team.

"You know, you're getting wider instead of taller." She noted.

"I'm still not fully grown. Humans aren't fully grown until like twenty years old. The men get all their height early, then they fill out with muscle." Karl explained.

"Yeah, but look at you, and then the other human men. They're all so skinny. Hardly thicker than the women, just bigger. Male Bloodbath Spiders are much smaller, they don't usually get much larger than Cara. But the more beard you get, the wider you are."

Karl smiled, "Are you suspecting that I'm not human?"

Rae shrugged, then admired the way her modified body moved and did it again for effect.

"Nobody would mistake you for one in the dark. You don't smell like a human. You just smell like Karl."

Karl thought about it for a few seconds, then shrugged, mimicking Rae's movement.

"That's just how people from my town are shaped. I'm taller than almost all the men in my home town, but most of them are almost as wide as they are tall. It's an advantage in the mines, so all the tall people must have moved away years ago."

Rae gave a twirl, then turned back to Karl. "Humans come in so many varieties, but I kind of like this body. I need to learn this skill before the token wears out. With [Ghost Beast] and these lovely black robes, I can sneak up and terrify people at will. They are much less likely to notice a small woman than a glorious Bloodbath Spider, no matter how good my hiding skills are."

Karl chuckled, as Rae's human form was a hundred and ninety centimetres tall, but incredibly slender with a nearly flat chest and just enough of a curve to the figure to make it undeniably feminine.

Her skin was also as impossibly black as the shell of her chitin in spider form, a colour he had never seen on a human before. But with the glowing red eyes that her human form had, it looked good on her.

"Well, I must say, you had a much easier time with it than Hawk did."

The rock was sliced and swatted in an intricate dance that had the stone suspended in the air, leaving even Corbin startled at the intricacy of the movements.

"That's a fantastic skill. With the combined skills of those blades, they should be able to completely control the movement of a target. But against large groups, they will be a deadly distraction as well." Corbin noted.

Then, Ophelia came out, looking somewhat disappointed.

"No suitable options?" Karl asked.

"Options? I was hoping for something awesome, but it only gave me two options. The first was a Feral Berserker, which looked like a slight upgrade to the Bear Totem Berserker. The second was a Titanic Berserker, which seemed like just another Berserker but bigger.

It had better base skills, so I went for that one. I probably shouldn't feel let down, but I guess I got my hopes too high." She sighed.

"Why not show us anyhow? Now that you have it, how is the Skill tree?" Karl suggested.

"It's very berserker. Lots of blunt weapon and sword attacks, defensive buffs and strength buffs.

The base skills are passive strength increase of thirty percent per Rank and [Titanic Growth] that increases my size, strength and durability by twenty percent per Rank."

"Well, how about raging and getting all buffed up in Werebear form, then test the new buff to see what you're working with?" Karl requested, intrigued to see if the bonuses stacked or multiplied the growth.

Ophelia activated [Berserk Terror] which brought her Werebear form to close to four metres tall. Then she activated [Titanic Growth] and suddenly Karl was looking at the knee armour of the single largest beastkin he had ever seen.

"That's definitely a multiplication effect." He noted.

"So that's what a seven-metre tall Werebear looks like. Forget being hit on by the Orcs, you'll have to fend off Hill Giant suitors at this rate." Rae laughed, startling everyone with the hauntingly musical tone of her human voice.

Ophelia's rumbling growl shook the air, and Rae's laugh turned hysterical. She hadn't expected such a great chance to pick on the others during her first attempt to interact as a human.
