[Impressive. You have won the battle against a very strong Human. A special class is opened. New special species has opened especially for you! You have received a Rank Up. Please select from the following:]

[ 3. Half Ogre Intermediate Gladiator]
[ 4. Lesser Asmodian Intermediate Gladiator ]
[ Special 1. Ancient Orc Archaic Warrior ]
[ Special 2. Ancient Twin Headed Orc Intermediate Gladiator ]

‘Why is there so many…’

There were too many choices. Though I had initially speculated there would be a lot of fine choices in the start, I had never imagined that there would be six of them, no less the number of species who had been made available. Not only that, there were two special classes, including a shocking three species which could clearly be deemed as upper tier races, far above the current ones.

Discovering the Half-Ogre class, I could definitely deduce that Goff had evolved faster than me, and note that there was no choice of a Troll or other special races, it seemed that the System had decided that it did not fit me.

I had to decide carefully.

For now, I decided to listen to the explanation of what an Archaic Warrior entailed. Perhaps a condition of opening this option is to defeat a Superior opponent wielding the Ancient Flame sword. Since I had not utilized my Unique Ability much, I’m sure this reason is why such a class opened.

[ Special 1. Ancient Orc Archaic Warrior. ]

[Archaic Warriors will never retreat from battle. He may be a Human, but values honor and righteousness more than anyone, as he always fights in the forefront of every battlefield, always ready to jump in with his lifetime companion. Sword proficiency will greatly increase.]

As expected, it seemed likely that Ancient Flame will become a lifetime companion for him. The fact that Swordsmanship Proficiency would be greatly enhanced was also beneficial, but despite that he could not gain an increase in proficiencies for other weapons, which was rather quite… Unfortunate.

“Mmm…”

Once I returned back to the list, I recalled the description of the other special species; the Ancient Twin Headed Orc.

[ Special 2. Ancient Twin Headed Orc Intermediate Gladiator ]

[Among the Ancient Orcs, the Twin Headed Orc is considered as one of the rarest species. A species born once every few billion years. Strength, Vitality, Dexterity, are several times more superior than a regular Ancient Orc… His field of view is wide as well as adept in all weapons, also all weapon proficiency is increased.]

This guy was truly perfect. A flawless species which needed no words. If I were to evolve into this guy, then perhaps I would achieve the most efficiency out of it, but the problem was

‘Fuck…’

It has two heads. I had no way of knowing if the spirit would be separated or that a new personality would be planted, but I did not want to commit to a big gamble of evolving into this species. I have certainly heard stories where there were monsters who had twin heads, but they were all guys who could not be labelled normal.

Nevertheless, it didn’t change the fact that it was extremely unfortunate. If I had evolved into this guy, I could sense that Choi Seulgi and Baek Ahyeon will abandon all trust or hope for me while leaving me in the dust.

This then left me with only the High Gladiator, Minotaurus, Half Ogre, or the Lesser Asmodian.

Just like the previous reason, he had no desire of having a cow head – so it also was an unconditional skip. For one, obtaining a larger frame may be advantageous in battle, but it is not always the big guy who necessarily achieved victory in battle.
