His voice deep and guttural. Raw like something ancient clawing its way to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped to his knees, hands clutching at his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers dug in, not like he was hurt, but like he was trying to stop something inside from breaking free—or bursting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body started to tremble. His green skin darkened by several shades, splotching almost black in places as if bruised from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his back arched sharply, and his fingers curled into tight spasms, twitching uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thin wisps of steam hissed off his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening to him?\" Thok asked, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the rest were also rattled by the sight they were seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t answer. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at the way Narg’s class -Acolyte- was glitching out, visibly straining against something, I had a guess:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg was evolving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what little I knew, goblins could undergo evolution once they hit certain thresholds. It depended on their class path and combat experience. And Narg? He had just crossed one by reaching level 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at the others. They were close to that threshold, too. If this was what happened at ten, then we were in for some serious upgrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaargh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded agonizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knelt beside him, unsure if there was anything I could do. \"You’ll be fine, Narg,\" I muttered. \"Just breathe through it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t respond. Understandable. But it kind of hurt my feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw clenched tight, and his spine twisted unnaturally. His entire body seized, and I could see glowing blue arcs flicker just beneath the surface of his skin—mana, surging through his veins like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to watch. The poor guy was practically frothing at the mouth, his eyes rolled halfway back in his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, despite how brutal it looked...I was a little more excited than worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really wanted to see what he’d become after all this chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all stood frozen, watching as Narg continued to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow from his body intensified, growing brighter with each passing second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—just as suddenly as it began—the light snapped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg slumped forward. His staff clattered to the dirt. Steam hissed off his hunched form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Narg?\" I asked cautiously, stepping closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone was the gangly, slightly deranged goblin who thought fireballs were the solution to every problem. Okay—maybe he was still that guy—but now he lookeddifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taller. Bulkier. His skin had darkened into a deep, earthy green, and glowing tribal lines now adorned his arms and shoulders. His eyes—once twitchy and dim—now gleamed with clarity and focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Narg...\" I crouched beside him. \"You good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up—and to my shock, dropped to one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Totem,\" he said. His voice was deeper, smoother... like someone had run it through a bass booster. I was instantly jealous. Next to Narg, comparing voices, I sounded like a wheezing insect trying to beatbox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other goblins stared at him differently now, with something close to reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I activated [Analyze].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg - Level 10 | Goblin Shaman\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skills:[Fireball] [Mana Shield] [Flame Orb] [Warcry][Iron Fist], [Stealth], [Danger Sense], [Roar of Intimidation][Call of the Damned][Hex] [Buff] [Heal]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loyalty:100%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was impressed by the number of skills Narg now had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three new skill were now added to the list, other than the ones that i shared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Call of the Damned] [Hex] [Buff] [Heal]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg rose slowly, eyes faintly aglow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a shaman now, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Totem. I am now a Shaman. All thanks to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\" I leaned in, hands on my knees. \"So, Narg the Shaman. What can you do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Analyze] couldn’t peek into his exact stats or get more details concerning his skills—thanks, system restrictions—so I had to rely on good old-fashioned dialogue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held up his staff, which now had faintly glowing runes etched along its shaft. \"I can commune with spirits and channel their power in battle. But to bind them, I must perform a ritual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spirits?\" Dribb scratched his head. \"Like... ghost summons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Powerful ghost summons,\" Narg corrected, with pride. \"I can also cast hexes, increase the strength of others and also heal injuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My jaw dropped. \"That’s insane. You went from fireball spammer to team buffer and debuff wizard in one level-up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Totem,\" he said with a respectful bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can also commune with Lord Drugar—but we must build an altar first. I need it to perform certain spirit rituals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An altar. Of course. I rubbed my chin. That sounded like a whole thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can give you a list of the materials,\" Narg offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later,\" I said. \"Right now, surviving comes first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Narg’s new skills would be game-changing. But our current base was temporary—barely more than a fortified hole in the ground. There was no point building an altar we’d have to abandon. We’d prioritize it once we secured a permanent location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, talismans and hexes would have to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still... I didn’t expect Narg’s evolution to make himthisstrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I really wanted to evolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something cool, obviously. Like...Deathblade Assassin Totem.OrSpirit King of the Goblins.Oh, and I’d better grow taller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t have my goblins outgrowing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked up and caught the entire group staring at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cleared my throat. \"Right. Our next move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the adrenaline from the python battle still buzzing in our blood, I decided to push the rest of the team to evolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all close to level 10. Just a little more XP to top off those bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, we hunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the nearby mobs were laughably weak. Level 5 scavenger lizards. Level 4 venom ticks. A gang of skeletal rabbits that might’ve been intimidating—if they didn’t keep tripping over each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Gobbo was yawning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need something stronger,\" I muttered. \"Narg? Got any ideas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly evolved shaman lifted his staff like a dowsing rod and pointed deeper into the woods. \"There is a blood scent. And antler marks on the trees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised a brow. \"And that means...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to me, voice serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Gnarlbeast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he said it sent shivers up my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others stiffened as well. Theyknewwhat that was. And they feared it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I narrowed my eyes. \"What is this Gnarlbeast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg’s gaze stayed on the trees.\"We heard it from the former chief. It is a forest predator. Deer-shaped, but it’s not prey. It feeds on blood. Marks its territory by goring trees. And its eyes.
