Who was it again that thought fighting five Giant Frogs simultaneously was a good idea? Well, that was me. And I freaking regret that decision...

Shit! Shit! SHIT!! Now, four Giant Frogs were chasing after me. I'm a freaking idiot!! Just because I evolved and gained some new skills, I thought I could fight those things en masse?! That's just ridiculous!! Damn, I hate my past self!! Honestly, at first it was going well. I even managed to kill one of them because of my surprise attack, but it only goes downhill after that. After killing the first frog, I rapidly charged towards the second nearest one and bit one of its legs. And because of my new and stronger fangs, I managed to pierce its skin and break its bone. Unfortunately, before I managed to finish the job, another Giant Frog had launched an attack. Of course, I managed to dodge. But then, the three goddamn frogs launched a barrage of tongue attack simultaneously.

If it was me before evolution, I'm sure I would already be a dead meat by now. But probably thanks to my newly found strength through evolution and some assistance of my new skill Swiftness, I managed to dodge those barrages of whip like tongues. Well, that was until the fourth frog recovered and joined the fray. And now, here I am once again running for my life... Maybe I really deserve that title...

Fortunately, I am way faster than before, so it didn't take too long before I lost them. While I was trying to catch my breath, I saw a new notification.

[Skill Swiftness has ranked up]

[Skill Swiftness is now at Rank C]

Well, at least I got something good out of it. But still... My stomach growled. That's right, ever since I woke up in this newly evolved form, I felt really starved. It was just my guess, but most likely in order to evolve, one needed enough nutrition to sustain the process. This is important info. I'm not sure what will happen if the body's nutrition isn't enough, but my guess is that my body will automatically search for nutrition while I am asleep. In short, I will sleep-eat. And if I didn't find any food... I would probably... die... Of course, all of that was just merely my speculations. But I had a feeling that I was right. Looks like evolution is not all good things. I need to prepare for it next time. After all, I don't want to die in the middle of evolution.

While I was thinking about such things, I saw a new monster that I haven't seen before just a little distance away. Now that's new. Looks like Giant Frogs is not the only monster dwelling in this area. I thought as I gazed at the clueless monster drinking on the lake. Oh yeah, I haven't been able to use it earlier against those Giant Frogs but I have the Assess skill. Alright, let's test it... And so, I used Assess for the first time... But... Huh? I tilted my head in confusion because of the result.

From what I could remember from my time playing MMORPG's, it was possible to look at the details of players and important in game objects and items. That was why when I first saw the effect of my skill Assess, I thought that I would be able to do the same. Unfortunately, reality wasn't that convenient because the only information I saw was...

[Lizard]

And that was it... Hey, are you kidding me? I didn't even need to use a skill to see that. It was seriously such a letdown. I mean, I was even excited to use it at first because it might help me get more information about this place. Oh well, it is still at Rank D after all. And from what I can tell, that was the lowest rank. Which means if I managed to raise its rank high enough, it might turn out to be actually useful. Besides, it isn't a rare skill. Which means there are a lot of people who also have this skill. Of course, there's also a chance that it was just a trashy skill that is easy to acquire, but let's just be positive for now.
