Ignoring the system I looked back, the waterfall marked my decision, but I told Long I would be back, so I will give myself one more chance, before I decide to die. So I moved on and faced the narrow crevice, the stones rubbed against my skin, it hurt for the first ten seconds, then it became only a passing discomfort.
Leaving the narrow passage, I found a wide space full of stalactites as I continued to walk on tiptoe an unknown creature appeared in front of me, large round eyes, a body divided into two segments and three legs on each side of the body.
On its head two antennae and a pair of creepy jaws welcome me, and as if that wasn't bad enough it was so big that I had to lift my head as far as I could just to meet its eyes.

Since this has no name, I clearly know that this is an ant, only giant and very threatening, holy god with no name give me the courage to proceed.
The ant noticed my existence and let out a squeal and took off running, at that moment I remembered what an adventurer had told me.
"If you encounter an ant, kill it immediately, otherwise instead of one, you will face fifty"
As I ran forward, it was then that I realized that I no longer had my dagger, so how on earth would I kill a creature that appeared to be harder than the stones of the mountain?

Immediately a flood of information flooded my mind, a whole catalog with ten skills appeared in front of me, and there was a time too, the points I acquired by eating the orc, the goblins and the slimes are for that, I thought I would have more.
Since I don't have much time, my eyes hit the first one I could buy and my fingers moved soon after, a sound of coins rang in my ears and the store screen closed.
At first I didn't feel anything different, but it didn't take long for the skill to take effect, my whole body stiffened for a second and soon after I could feel the complete difference and mastery of the skill.
(Name: Osteokinesis)
(Rank: F)
(Effect: Total and absolute control of the bones of the user's body)
The first thing to do is a practice test of the skill, pointing my index finger I throw the bone in a straight line at one of the creature's joints, it does little damage to the leg hit, but doing damage was not what I was looking for.
Like a spider its legs are long and thin, and therefore light, so the attack would cause a chain effect where the back leg would collide with the front leg and cause the ant to stumble and fall.
And that's exactly what happened, the ant stumbled as it lost control of one of its legs and to my surprise collided with a stalagmite that was not so far away, triumphantly I moved to the front of the creature.
With my palm touching its abdomen I made a long bone come out of it and go through the creature, of course it didn't stay still while being impaled, but its struggles were in vain, I could foresee all its attacks and dodge them with ease.
It was a short period of time, but in the end I won, gained some gene points by eating it, and to my surprise an skill.
(Name: Sonar)
(Rank: F)
(Effect: By producing sound the user will be able to detect his surroundings through the emitted waves)
Immediately I clapped my hands and to my surprise I could detect the whole cave system and also detect enemies, but unexpectedly I couldn't find that room where I was with Pluto.
Using these two abilities one after the other tired me somehow, but that wouldn't stop me, well at least not forever, while eating a leg I went to check my other abilities.
"Hey, show me my skills there"
(Current skill: 06)
(??)
(Blessed eyes)
(Sharp hearing)
(Mental toughness)
(Osteokinesis)
(Sonar)
Unexpectedly I only know three of these abilities, starting with the first one I tapped on its name and opened the information about it.
(Name: ??)
(Rank: E)
(Effect: Grants the user a system that allows evolution. The ability will evolve involuntarily when it sees the need)
So that's what happened, seeing my life in danger he evolved and thus created new functions that made me stronger, cute? I guess, although a few moments ago she was calling me a weak fool.
(Name: Blessed Eyes)
(Rank: ??)
(Effect: Upon detecting hostility grants the user a glimpse of what might happen)
I had a suspicion as to why, but reading here makes it even more convenient, the trigger is hostility.
(Name: Mental toughness)
(Rank: E)
(Effect: Creates resistance against mind control)
I understand, at that moment someone was overpowering me through my rage, in a way this ability saved my life.
Seeing these abilities answered some of my questions, but there are still many open, I believe that in the next evolution of the system I will have more answers, until then I can only assume the truth.
I sat reading for quite a while, and since I was in no hurry I decided to focus on the store now, reading its name already told me why it has so many interesting abilities, "Special" has its meanings there, seeing how I only have 40 more minutes left I decided on something.
"Time to hunt!"
