Chapter 3 - Evolution!

'Damn, Damn! Dead end!' I think as I turn around, looking at the slightly-bleeding goblin that managed to chase me around this labyrinth of a cave.

"Chu! Chi chuu!" I try to squeak threateningly, but the goblin just walks closer and closer with a smile on its face.

'Damn goblin! I'm just a level one mouse! I'm not tasty at all! I taste like dog shit!' I think, squeaking, 'Slash!' I think, the goblin dodges and slams the club against my side, slamming me against the wall.

I cough up blood, struggling to get up when I hear a voice echo through my mind,

----{** New skill unlocked, [Frenzy], activate now? **}----

[YES] [NO]

'What? Yes!' I think.

I lose control of my body,

----{** Activating frenzy . . . **}----

'What's going on?! I cant move!' I think in a panic, it seems like the worlds slowing down, my body dodges the attack thrown by the goblin, jumping on top of the club and running up its arm, biting into its neck.

----{** Activating [Infection] . . . **}----

'What? Infection? Judging by the name, it must transfer whatever infected this mouse to the goblin, right?' I think, my body lets go,

----{** [Infection] Complete, transfer? **}--

----{** [Frenzy] deactivated.

Cooldown activated. **}----

'Yes!' I think enthusiastically. My conscience fades, as my vision goes blurry i let out one last "Chu...".

I wake up on the ground, I stand up and look at my green hands, "Geh guh geh!" I chuckle, 'I got a humanoid-ish body! Damn, I'm hungry though. I should look for that mouse I was and eat it.'

I look around, noticing the mouse is gone.

'Where did that mouse go? Is it possible it regained its senses whenever I infected the goblin?' I wonder, noticing a trail of blood leading out of the room.

'I should check the stats of this goblin first, see what I'm capable of.' I think, 'Status.'.

[Evolution board now accessible.

Evolutions - 4/10 - Open? -----]

----{**END**}----

'Evolution? I always that that was just a bunch of bull-crap, maybe its different in this world? Its not like you can evolve on command anyways, and whats with these skills? I had thought i only unlocked one, maybe these ones come with the body? Anyways, lets look at this 'Evolution'.'

I think, 'Open'

----{** Evolution board **}----

Infected Hobgoblin [Evolution 1/10]: Usually ruling a small village of 10 - 16 goblins, these feast on other monsters to gain other skills. Not much is known about them because of how rare they are, the first Demon God was believed to have evolved from a Hobgoblin, and are also known for their vast evolution possibility's, they are believed to be the heart of all monsters because they can evolve into nearly any monster.

Infected Lesser Ogre [Evolution 2/10]: Considered the more civilized version of trolls, which live alone in dens, These live deep in forests around stronger creatures and set up a village that usually has more than 6 other lesser ogres and is usually ruled by a full-fledged ogre. This Evolution is optimal for Speed, Strength, and Magic, whilst allowing the monster to get ever-so closer to being a human each evolution.

Infected Lesser Troll [Evolution 3/10]: A brutish humanoid creature a little bigger than the average human that cannot use magic but is known for its love for fighting and its abnormal amount of strength. This is called a Lesser Troll for the reason that its not as big or strong as a full-fledged Trolls, but wield a small amount of magic. They are usually 6 - 7 inches below the average troll.

Infected Lesser Anansi [Mega Evolution]: Thought to be a god in the shape of a spider, Anansi is weak but specializes in strategies, magic, and entertainment. They are little tricksters who love pranks usually live in large groups deep underground and are known for the wisdom and intelligence which they hold, they are rare though because of a large hunt for Anansi many, many years ago.

----{** END **}----

'Damn, I wonder what triggers evolutions, Experience?' I think about it for a few minutes before turning back to the entrance to the room with the big muscle monster. 'I wonder what I am, I have property's of certain parasites in my former world, but I can't be sure.' I conclude.

'Evolve into Hobgoblin!' I think, my vision goes blurry as I fall to the ground, losing conscience.
