Arrrghh... That... hurt...

My whole body was in pain. Though, I guess feeling pain was a heck of a lot better than dying from that fall. Well, it was actually thanks to that bee that I was still alive because that bee managed to kill a lot of momentum by desperately flapping its wings. And since I was also riding on the back of the bee during the fall, that bee's body also served as a cushion for my body during the impact. Although because of that, the bee was now in tatters.

I honestly didn't know if it was for better or for worse, but despite receiving most of the impact, the bee was still alive. And as of now, all it could do was squirm like a worm because the bee lost not only its wings, but also all of its limbs. It was truly in a pitiful state.

Of course, it was not as if I was any better. The worst of my injuries was probably on my back. It was that same injury that the bee from before has given me. Fortunately, it had already stopped bleeding, and it also didn't hit my spinal cord. Though, it was still nasty since it seemed like the damage had reached the joint connecting my body to my back leg. Seriously, it looked like I won't even be able to use this leg to walk. And as if just to make it a lot worse, my front right leg was also broken. Although it was not to the same extent as my back leg since I could probably still use it to support my weight when walking.

After checking my overall condition, I looked around the area I was in. Unfortunately, the range of my vision in this place seemed more limited than ever before because there was not a single light in this place. The only possible reason I could think why I was still able to see was because of my Night Vision skill. Well, it wasn't to the point that it could hinder my movements so it wasn't that bad.

When I finally made sure that there were no enemies nearby, I tried standing up and then moved towards the dying bee. Damn it... I'm in this situation once again... No matter how I looked at it, this situation was a repeat of what had happened after I fought that snake. But this time, I didn't win and survive a battle and was instead a part of the collateral damage. Fortunately, it would be possible for me to recover a little if I ate this dying bee. I know it was cruel even for me especially since it was thanks to this bee that I was still alive, but it was survival of the fittest man. That was how this world works. Besides, it was already half dead. Even if I let it be, it would die eventually. So, the least thing that I could do for the bee was to end its misery and give a meaning for its death.

With that justification in mind, I bit the dying bee's head and rip it apart from its body. Because of that, the bee died instantly. And right just after the bee died, a notification popped up in my vision...

[Level up]

[Level cap reached]

[Individual (Unnamed) can now evolve]

[Would you like to begin the evolution now?]

[Yes/No]

Oh, nice!

I didn't expect it, but it looked like killing the bee was the last push I needed in order to reach level twenty. It was actually really nice timing. And if my guess was right, all my current injuries would disappear once I finished the evolution process. In short, it might just be possible to use the evolution process as a way to instantly recover from injuries. And the proof of that was in my memories living as the young wolf.

In that memory, I recalled that one of the Dire Wolf I know lost a single eye during one of their hunts. But after he evolved into a Great wolf, even that missing eye came back like it was a miracle. So, based on that, I deduced that maybe the evolution process could also remove any injuries that a monster had sustained prior to the evolution. If that was the case, then I only needed to evolve in order to heal all these injuries. The only problem with that was...
