I woke up quickly, as if I hadn't even fallen asleep, as if it had only been a few minutes, and if it wasn't for the hunger tormenting me, I would have thought I had just collapsed from exhaustion. Anyway, my stomach rumbled and it was time for me to get up.

'Ugh, head...' - As I stood up abruptly, my head spun and my vision was blurry. I couldn't see further than my hands and I was already afraid I was going blind. But my fear was short-lived and my hunger was intense, so I raided my food supply.

As if not noticing the obstacle, my jaws bit into the first carcass with my teeth. Stale blood immediately spurted into my mouth. The flavour was different this time, had it lost some of its richness? It didn't have that fresh blood and tomato juice flavour.

But that didn't stop me from munching away, filling my stomach with food. And my stomach was demanding more and more! Like a black hole, it sucked the food in and wouldn't get full! It made me worry, for there were fewer and fewer carcasses, and more needs.

*♪ Chawk ♪

*♪ Hrum. ♪

The tenth rabbit carcass was devoured by me. I ate even the bones, leaving only the horns. I couldn't get enough! I became more and more anxious. Only a certain certainty of imminent satiation kept me from panicking and giving in to fear.

*♪ Crunch ♪

*♪ Chawk ♪

The last carcass disappeared into my stomach and a 'Zing' sounded in my head. A message about missed notifications popped up in front of my eyes. Mentally opening the first of them, in front of me I saw this:

'Evolution has been successful!

Special Goblin --≫ Hobgoblin Mage.

+1 to all stats.

Skill gained - Small Mana Regeneration Core-1.

Skill acquired

Common: Earth Magic-1

Rare: Healing Magic-1

Omnivore skill increased.

Omnivore skill increased.

Skill received - Poison Resistance-1

Skill acquired-- Resistance to Disease One.

...

After making sure of the skills, I stood up and looked over my body. My height had increased again, as had my skin colour. Gone was the grey tint, and I was now a dark green colour. Also my nose had retracted a little and didn't stick out like a goblin's, just a little, but it felt good. Even my ears had grown up a little and pointed up a little!

And most importantly! I have five fingers again and an almost human physique!

At this rate, I'll be handsome again! If I imagine what goblins and hobgoblins usually look like, I'll shudder! Ugly, shriveled dwarfs. And I'd better not look at my reflection in the water for a long time.

Although I don't care about my appearance, but... Appearance decides a lot in this world, as well as communication with girls. And if I enter the city with my expressive appearance, I will definitely attract unwanted attention of people. And no, I do not gnozhnut longing and sadness for people and communication, just a city or village - a point of resources, connections and opportunities, well, and a safe place, of course! After all, no one expects a goblin to live in a city, and no one will look for him there!

- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... I think a cottage on the outskirts would be a good start, and if there's a basement... Ahem... Ahem....

After my thoughts, I involuntarily let out a chuckle and noticed that my voice had also changed. It stopped being squeaky, and more importantly, it stopped irritating my ears.

Another plus in the evolutionary piggy bank, I didn't evolve for nothing! Okay, this is all fun and entertaining of course, but it's time for me to test out my new skills, I'm especially interested in magic!

'Evaluation!'

...

A bomb exploded in my head! I was twisted unpleasantly by a throbbing pain in my head, and blood flowed from my nose. It was as if a red-hot rod had been stabbed into my head, and with that, I had a faint knowledge of earth magic. For a while I lay on the ground like that, suffering from the pain in my head.

...

After a while, the pain gradually subsided, and I was finally able to breathe in peace. Unpleasant sensation.

- Ha...haa... - Breathing heavily, I collapsed on the ground and stared up at the ceiling of the cave. There was still a small ringing in my ears, but the pain had finally subsided, giving me back my mental clarity. Of course, there was little joy in that, but there was a silver lining.

I got a theory on my magic, and I was glad for something.

But I didn't enjoy it for long.

Because of my low mana control and mana reserve, I couldn't create anything significant other than the most common magic tricks. For example, I could only rejuvenate the earth, but I couldn't create a wall of earth, even though the method of application was almost the same!

What the hell... It feels like I've been heated...''

'Haaaaaaaa...' - Sighing a full breath, I slowly sat down on the ground and shook my head, wiping the blood off my face. I didn't feel disappointed, as I hadn't originally expected something like this, but hurt....

Even the theory was against me. There was nothing substantial in it, just a single earth rejuvenation spell.....

...

- I guess I'll have to stay in the cave for a while longer, experimenting with this magic, - I came to a conclusion after five minutes of sorting out the packet of information. The original joy of evolution was gone.

To begin with, it's worth training mana control and raising its level... Except that the question of how to do that got in my face. Although, if you look at the skill 'body enhancement', you can try to distribute mana in the finger, only without enhancement.

Let's try it...

Covering my eyes, I concentrated.....

...

Body... there's warmth in my chest... a little mana overflows into my finger... .

Mana is chaotic - it's bubbling! Like a bucket filled with water, the mana gradually spills over.....

I tried to calm it down, the mana started bubbling like boiling water and suddenly evaporated completely. At the same time, the sensation was like burning my finger in boiling water!

*Zing*

Mana control is up!

- Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee... - Breathing heavily, I was drenched in sweat. However, I was glad that it was such a failed attempt. Even though it was all accompanied by unpleasant sensations, the first step had been taken. The only thing left to do was to start cultivating in this cave....

- Hehehe...

Which I did, sitting down comfortably and closing my eyes once again. Calmness and concentration consumed me. Fuck, I wish I was Hui Jin Wan! Then I'd definitely become a mega nagibator, sitting on my arse flat! But fuck that.

Such thoughts went through my head while the mana was slowly gathering in the other finger....

* * *

Only half an hour had passed, and my reserve was showing the bottom. There wasn't much mana left: only two dozen, and it felt like I had been drained, and it would have been nice if it had been done in a pleasant way.....

Although my mana control increased by six points! Surprisingly, my mana control was increasing very quickly, and I couldn't help but enjoy it. Admittedly, the torture that accompanied my training was like wringing out a sex rag, that is, masochism of pure water. Only one pain accompanied me in this training, and my body, down to the tips of my hair, was whimpering with one big bruise. That is, everything hurt, even the dragon! Every movement I made was painful, and my eye twitched in a nervous spasm!

I don't know how I didn't foam out of my mouth.

The only thing left for me was to lie on the ground and wait - and it was cold, I waited until the regeneration did not reduce the negative sensations! And waited for about an hour, which was good news. At least something good, and the mana regeneration skill went up to as high as level two.

'Cultivated' I did so two times, until I was bored, and then went out to hunt for rabbits, to stretch, so to speak, from the same type of action. Raising stealth and hunter's stealth by one more point in this way!

However, during the hunt, I met an ogre. Apparently, he smelled the meat in my hands and came running to me. I only miraculously managed to escape from him by giving him all the prey and hiding in the bushes. I wasn't sure I could handle him, so I just ran. I was not sure if I could handle him, so I just ran. And the backlash from the training was a pain in the arse and was actively interfering with the whole hunt.

It was a shame to be left without prey. But I didn't want to die anymore.

Now I was wandering through the forest, and my stomach was gradually digesting itself, giving me unprecedented sensations and motivation!

I had never felt like this before: hungry, tired, angry and sad. Fate obviously has a bad sense of humour, if I'm suffering like this. But other trapped people already have a harem of slave girls!

Speaking of slave girls. If they exist in this world, I should buy one. But now it's a question of money - I don't have any. I can hardly earn it, and good robbers I'm unlikely to defeat now.

While I was thinking and hunting, my mana regenerated by half, and the lethargy in my body disappeared a little... So it wasn't fatigue after all - I'll know. I picked the ground with a stick and drew two watermelons, which gradually acquired the features of a familiar chest....

- Eh... - I sighed long, looking at the outlines of the female. There's definitely something wrong with me...

*Rustle.

The nearby bushes twitched, and my gut clenched in on itself. For the beast that emerged from the bushes was smiling at me wickedly.

Fuck... I relaxed....

Alas, the skill 'hunter' helped me little, for the monster from which I so zealously ran away, sniffed me and wanted my meat ...

'Fucking rabbit!' - I jumped up from the ground.

Mentally mothering the bastard, I dodged away from his strong and sharp teeth, which closed in close to my arse.

It was fucking close, but no sooner had I regained my balance than the thing leapt at me again, now intending to bite my head off! It was only by sheer luck and inertia that I was able to dodge the tumble, feeling the hot breath on my arse again!

'Fuck, this rabbit is obviously a faggot!' - I jumped up and grabbed my spear from the ground. Why am I so unlucky for adventures! Where the fuck is my harem! - And turned round to face the cunt.

His gaze told me something else... The fucking rabbit was smiling and breathing in my face... clearly not the scent of fragrant chamomile.

- Flea-bitten bastard!!! Bitch!!!
