“This is good.” Victor said. “But system, I know I became stronger and all, but was it necessary to make me look like someone who frequents the gym? Look at these muscles! I look like Captain America became a zombie.” Victor said, after examining himself.

[This can be fixed during the next evolution. Though this model and type of body was based on what the general human male population likes, it seems you don’t like it]

“What? I prefer to look like Naruto than Goku. In facet, in my next evolution, build me like the great Shadow Monarch. Let me possess immerse power but still look like a twig from afar… Is that possible?”

[Understood. I do not know this Shadow Monarch, but I assume you want to look like Saitama, but taller] fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

“…” “Guess that also works. Yesss, let me gain the physic and be able to end every enemy in one strike!”

[You will have to be at a pseudo-god level to be able to imitate that kind of power. You are far from that now]

“System.”

[Yes]

“It was only a joke, a joke.”

[…]

“Well, I will have to bear with this form for now. Let me see.”

..

Evolution Material:

-Fiery Tailed Wolf – 1000

-Zombie – 5000/30000 (can be further evolved)

..

“Wow. This is quite unexpected. I never knew zombies had so many types… Well, not that I would know, of course.”

After seeing this, a new goal surfaced in Victor’s mind. The next thing he was going to do was evolve further. He planned to raise his zombie form to the highest he could to solidify the base he would build upon.

Fortunately for Victor, getting zombie material was not at all difficult. Instead, it was extremely easy. In a dungeon where the monsters continuously respawned, it was like a gold mine where the rocks kept turning into gold, the more one extracted.

In the brief span of a day, Victor had already gathered 35000 evolution material, and so he returned to the crack. He took a peek at the system panel to see what the next evolution was, as he hadn’t checked it previously.

..

-Zombie – 5000/30000 (can be further evolved)

Next evolution – Zombie Warrior.

..

“Zombies in this world are really powerful. They even have an hierarchy. Maybe I should become a necromancer and raise an unparalleled undead army. Shouldn’t I be able to evolve my subordinate?? Heheh.” Victor said jokingly.

[Yes, it is possible to evolve your subordinates] The system gave a cool answer, as always.

“…” Hearing the system’s answer, Victor became a mute for a brief second as countless thoughts ran through his head.

If what the system said was right, doesn’t that mean he would be able to actually raise such an army of powerful beings? This was very interesting, no, too interesting.

“Guess there’s something else to look forward to.”

“Alright system, we are moving fast. Begin the next evolution.” Victor said with a mild grin on his face.

Beep

[Starting evolution process]

[You will lose consciousness during the evolution process. Make sure you are in a favourable location]

[You will now lose consciousness as evolution begins]

Just like the previous times, Victor lost consciousness as the process began. After it must have been a while, he woke up as he regained his consciousness, and without needing the system to tell him, he instantly knew the evolution process was over.

[Evolution complete]

[You have evolved into a Zombie Warrior]

[Gained new skill Undead Aura]

[Skill Rot Bite has advanced to level 3]

[Received 10 stat points]

[Strength +6, Agility +5, Sense +3]

[Max HP has increased by 200]

[Max MP has increased by 100]

[It will take 48hours to completely adjust to new form. Till then, evolution is impossible, unless under favourable for dangerous conditions]

“Even better than I expected. Let’s check it out.” Victor said, as he received the notifications.

..

Looking at the new status screen, Victor couldn’t help but grin a little. He was making good progress, and it seemed he would once again have to delay his descent to the higher floors. Seeing as he had just evolved into a Zombie Warrior, Victor couldn’t help but think that there would be a new evolution stage, so he checked, just to quell his curiosity.

..

Evolution Material:

-Fiery Tailed Wolf – 1000

-Zombie – 5000/100000 (can be further evolved)

-Zombie – 5000/100000 (can be further evolved)

Next evolution – Zombie Commander.

..

“Fuck! Just how many zeros are there?! I don’t think my salary till I died had this much zeros! Zombie commander, nothing else than to reach that evolution ASAP. Let’s get to work.”

After thinking for a while, Victor seemed to be trying to remember something as he stared straight at nothing, rubbing his smooth chin. After a while had passed, he finally remembered what it was that had been running through his head.

The adventurers from before, if he remembered right, said that from the 1 – 5 floor, the prominent monsters were zombies and undead, and that they were all between level 1 and 7.

“Then why have I been suffering myself all this time?! I can evolve while also descending the dungeon! Hai..” Victor exclaimed, as he ridiculed himself for forgetting something so important. “It must be this intelligence stat that is so low. If not, how can I forget something so important? System, tell me how the ‘intelligence’ stat affects me again.”

[It affects the player’s ability to understand and decipher complex situations and spells]

[Undead like yourself have a low intelligence, so the figure is normally around 1 or 2. The reason why you can still think up to this extent is because of your body’s soul]

[Continuing to have this stat at such a low value can cause you to lose your natural intelligence, therefore, becoming an actual zombie]

“…” “System, is your ultimate mission to make me a true dungeon monster?”

[No. The system is here to assist you…]

“Then why have you held back on such an important information all this time?!! Haiyaa..”

Because of this eye-opening realization, Victor wasted no time, and immediately pumped 20 points into intelligence, without even thinking about it.

..

Intelligence: 2 > 22

..

“Ahh, much better. System, don’t hold such important information ever again, please.”

[…]

With that, Victor headed for the next floor, floor 2. And so, his descent of the dungeon began.
