World Evolution: Starting With The Wind Monarch

---) Tickling (Rank Two, Level 5 Active Skill): Hahaha... It tickles! Hahaha! Cost: 3 Mana Points per second while active.

Evan: ”...”

Seeing Evan’s strange expression after reading the skill’s details, Liam and the others grew curious and looked at them as well.

And just like Evan, their expressions turned weird as well after reading the skill’s description.

”This dungeon... It really does drop some strange skills,” Alice said as she recalled the skill scroll dropped by the Rank Two Ape on the fifth floor.

”Are you going to learn this strange skill?” Liam asked when he saw Evan looking at the skill scroll with a thoughtful expression.

”I don’t know...” Evan shook his head. ”I just feel like this skill is very... interesting.”

”Interesting...” Kevin scratched his head. ”I don’t know about interesting, but it seems pretty weird to me.”

Evan didn’t care about Kevin’s words and after a moment of thought, decided to learn the skill.

’A Rank Two, Level 5 skill shouldn’t be useless...’ He thought before crushing the skill scroll.

The scroll broke into tiny fragments of light that were absorbed into his body.

When all the fragments disappeared, two notifications appeared before him.

[You have learned Rank Two, Level 5 Active Skill: ’Tickling’.]

[You have learned five external active skills. You cannot learn any more external active skills before becoming a Rank Two Evolver.]

Alice and the others raised their eyebrows at Evan’s decisive action of immediately learning the skill, but they didn’t say anything as it was his own skill, and he could do whatever he wanted with it.

After learning the skill, Evan turned his attention to the notifications he hadn’t been able to read earlier.

[You have killed Rank Two Dark-Scaled Wyvern, Level 80. You have acquired Strength +103, Agility +96, Stamina +106, Health +115, Mana +107, Magic +102.]

[You have leveled up and reached Level 41. You have received 3 stat points to distribute freely.]

[You have leveled up and reached Level 42. You have received 3 stat points to distribute freely.]

[You have leveled up and reached Level 43. You have received 3 stat points to distribute freely.]

[You have leveled up and reached Level 44. You have received 3 stat points to distribute freely.]

[You have leveled up and reached Level 45. You have received 3 stat points to distribute freely.]

[You have conquered the Rank Two Dungeon: Animal Kingdom.]

[Rewards will be distributed according to the contributions of the party members.]

[Your contribution is the highest. You can choose one reward from the list below.]

[1. FLAME STAFF

2. WYVERN ARMOR

3. BLOOD RING

4. CLOCK OF DARKNESS

5. LIGHT PENDANT]

When a party conquered a dungeon, the member who contributed the most was given the opportunity to choose their reward before the other party members.

Since Evan had contributed the most, he was the first to select his reward.

Evan looked at the list and, without much hesitation, chose the Wyvern Armor as he could use it to feed his Devourer Wolf Robe and evolve it further.

After Evan made his choice, Alice came second and selected the Flame Staff without hesitation. Erza chose the Blood Ring, while Liam and Kevin selected the Clock of Darkness and the Light Pendant, respectively.

”Damn! This is the first time I’ve seen every party member receive an Epic-Grade treasure!” Liam exclaimed in shock when he realized that everyone had obtained one.

Normally, clearing a Rank Two dungeon would yield only one Epic-Grade treasure at most, and even that was rare. Most of the time, the rewards consisted of Rare-Grade artifacts or those of an even lower grade.

But their party had received five Epic-Grade artifacts!

”Maybe it’s because we cleared the dungeon in just three days, and even the boss was defeated in a matter of seconds,” Kevin said thoughtfully.

”Since we cleared it so quickly, there should be a bonus reward as well, right?” Evan suddenly asked as he recalled receiving a bonus reward for clearing the Skeleton Graveyard Dungeon.

”What bonus reward? It’s already a miracle that we received five Epic-Grade treasures!” Erza rolled her eyes when she heard Evan’s words.

However, just as she finished speaking, another notification flashed before them.

[You have received five hundred Rank One Mana Cores and three Rank Two Mana Cores for clearing the dungeon in less than five days.]

Erza’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground, and she stared at the notification with a speechless expression.

Evan gave her a smug smile and, without paying any attention to her reaction, collected all the Mana Cores into his Storage Ring.

Everyone could only shake their heads when they saw this, feeling too tired to even say anything.

Evan stood up after putting away the cores and looked at the dead Wyvern.

”Now, let’s see if this guy has a core,” He muttered as he walked toward the monster.

Evan examined the area near the Wyvern’s brain, where Mana Cores were usually found. After searching for about a minute, his eyes lit up when he spotted something near its brain.

”Luckily, it had a Mana Core!” He sighed in relief as he stored the core in his Storage Ring.

’Now I only need to kill some unranked monsters using the Wind Monarch skill, and I’ll be able to evolve it to Rank Two,’ Evan thought, smiling happily.

Seeing him put away the core, Alice looked at him and asked, ”Should we leave now?”

”Sure. If you guys are ready, we can leave anytime,” Evan replied with a nod, as he had already gotten what he wanted from this dungeon.

With over three thousand Mana Cores in his possession, he would be able to buy some useful things for himself before returning to Planet Zarth.

Alice looked at Liam and the others and seeing that everyone was ready to leave, she nodded.

”All right, let’s go,” She said as her figure began to disappear.

[Do you want to exit the dungeon?]

[Yes/No]

Evan looked at his status window and selected Yes as well. A flash of light enveloped him, and the next second, he disappeared along with Alice and the others.
