Chapter 4: Birth of a Monster
As the golden light of evolution faded, the trembling form of the fox stood proudly before Crow. No longer just a simple forest beast, its transformation was awe-inspiring.
Its once-dull brown fur had turned into a radiant crimson-gold, glowing faintly as if embers danced beneath the surface. Its once-single tail had multiplied—now nine long, flowing tails flickered with divine fire. Its eyes, once sharp and cunning, now burned with a deep, otherworldly intelligence.
A new notification flickered across Crow's vision.

Crow let out a slow exhale, his lips curling into a wicked smile.
"This... is insane."
A level 2 beast with 10,000 in every stat? The average monster at this level barely had 30 Strength. Even elite bosses at level 20 wouldn't exceed 1,000 in most stats.
This fox wasn't just strong—it was a walking disaster.
Just as Crow was about to test its abilities, a rustling noise caught his attention. His gaze snapped toward the treeline as a group of five monsters emerged.

The wolves growled lowly, their eyes locked onto Crow and his newly evolved fox. Their leader, a hulking black-furred wolf nearly twice the size of the others, bared its fangs and let out a chilling howl.
Crow barely spared them a glance. Instead, he turned to his fox.
"Kill them."
The fox didn't hesitate.
Its nine tails flared, bursting into divine flames. The surrounding air heated instantly, distorting with sheer intensity. The wolves hesitated, instincts screaming at them to flee—but it was already too late.
Divine Flame—Unleashed.
A wave of golden fire erupted forward, engulfing the wolves completely. Their howls of pain barely lasted a second before they were reduced to nothing but ash.
Crow chuckled darkly, watching the flames die down.
"Overkill," he muttered. But he liked it.
A ding echoed in his ears as a new notification popped up.

Crow's grin widened.
This was just the beginning.
