[Host is currently at level 10 - Would you like to evolve ? ]

*Finally!*
My mind was flooded with notifications from the system that informed me of all my changes. Since I was only aware of some of them, I asked Kira to keep me informed of the other changes.
[Freya-sama, as you can see you have finally reached level 10, congratulations! In addition to the EXP you've gained, you've also upgraded several of your skills].
*That's great news! At this rate I could be in my humanoid form in no time! Can you show me the notifications?*
[Right away!]

[Icepick skill has been upgraded to level 3 ]
[Your HP and MP have increased ]

*Wow. Kira opens my full status.*

Before my eyes was my new status with quite a few very satisfying changes. My HP had increased to 12,000 and my MP was at 1000. Kira explained to me afterwards that every time I went up a level I gained +100 MP for each level I gained. The MP were simply always half of my HP.
*Good to know.*
In order to make myself stronger I decided to allocate the 90 attribute points immediately after clarifying some points.
*Kira, do you have a suggestion on how to use these points? I was wondering if it was possible for you to advise me.*
[Of course Freya-sama. In my opinion, it would be wise to balance your physical attributes so as not to be at a disadvantage in a fight. Since you have a lot of points, it's also possible to keep some aside if you don't want to use it all at once].
*Mmmh, I understand your reasoning, it's not a bad strategy right now...and then it's not like I have any other options. I'll take your advice, but I'll keep the strength and agility on top for now!*
[Excellent choice Freya-sama.]
*Mmmhh.*
Focusing on my status, I spread each point out carefully to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. In the end, I felt my body heat up as if it was suddenly invaded by an unknown power. The first time I had not felt anything like that, but the sudden increase of several points at the same time managed to create this phenomenon of overflow. It was like a drug for me, the black hairs on my fur stood up with excitement as I could feel my muscles forming inside my body. I hadn't grown, but I felt so much stronger, faster...more powerful.
"Grrr!"
Grunting with satisfaction, I watched with pride as the new numbers were displayed.
__________
Strength: 55 > 65
Defense: 35 > 56
Agility : 42 > 65
Endurance : 37 > 58
Speed : 40 > 57
Intelligence : 110
Charisma : 10 (cute)
_________
*I could get addicted to this feeling very quickly!*
The evolution of two of my skills as well as the appearance of a new one was for me the height of excitement. Indeed, "bite" had been upgraded to level 3 making it even more powerful than it already was and ice spikes now also level 3 allowed me to summon not 6 ice picks but 10 much bigger, stronger, faster and sharper ones. This would cost me 600 MP if I had to use them at the same time (60 MP per spike since they doubled in size and were more effective). Making a mental note to limit my spike use to 9, I asked Kira to show me the details of this new skill.
[Intimidation (lvl 1) - mental attack type - allows the user to produce a heavy aura capable of freezing targeted enemies with fear. The more the skill evolves, the stronger the fear instigated will be (can go as far as killing weaker beings). Conditions of obtaining: to make tremble of fear 2 enemies of higher levels. ]
*Hahaha...*
[...]
*I know you don't understand why I'm laughing, but I couldn't help it. To think that those two bags of EXP that I fought earlier were so useful to me is just too laughable. I'd like to offer them a little prayer before I move on...*
[If you...]
*Just kidding, I don't give a damn about those two corpses. Let's move on !*
[Yes, Freya-sama]
I cleverly decided to store the remains of the snake in my storage in order to eat it later and collect the EXP. Unfortunately for me the spider was neither consumable nor storable, I had hit it so hard that there was nothing left but a puddle of greenish and smelly blood.
Returning to my house, I made myself comfortable and prepared to move on.
-- PING --
[ Host is currently at level 10 - Would you like to evolve ? ]
[ YES/NO ]
As these words floated before my eyes, I mentally shouted my desire to become more powerful.
*YES!*
My eyes began to hurt, then my front and back legs started to hurt, then my whole body started to hurt. At that moment, I could feel my bones being destroyed to reform, my blood was boiling inside my body giving me the impression to have each of my veins on fire. My vision was starting to blur as I tried to stay conscious for fear that the sound of my grunts would attract some unwanted creature.
Unable to hold on, I fell to the ground as my consciousness faded.
________________________
*Wh...*
It was already dark as I woke up from this somewhat unpleasant experience. The stars were shining high in the sky and one could hear the nocturnal creatures working in the darkness.
As I stood up, I wobbled from the sudden loss of my balance and the change in my center of gravity...I had definitely gotten taller.
-- PING --
[Congratulations! The host has evolved from a minor Demon to a Demon (next evolution lvl 30 - Major Demon). Due to your advancement rewards are now available: ]
[All skills go up one level.]
[Intimidation (lvl 1) has become: Demonic Aura (lvl 2)]
[The skill Claws (lvl 2) has become: Demon Claws (lvl 3) ]
[The skill Bite (lvl 3) became : Hell's Bite (lvl 4)]
[The skill Ice Spikes (lvl 3) has become : Infernal Ice Spikes (lvl 4) ]
[Ice Wall (level 2) skill changed to Ice Demon Wall (level 3)]
[Ice Creation skill has been upgraded to level 3 ]
[The skill Storage of Chaos has been upgraded to level 2]
[Devouring Chaos skill increased to level 3 ]
[You now have 100 attribute points ] 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
[You gain +100 points in charisma]
[ Your HP and MP have increased ]
Information rushed through my head at the speed of light as I vaguely took in these new changes unable to concentrate.
*Aaargh my head!*
Kira's voice, as soft and monotonous as ever, intruded on my thoughts as I cursed the slight pain that persisted and congratulated myself for being even more powerful than the day before.
[Once again, I offer you my sincere congratulations Freya-sama on your successful evolution].
*Thank you Kira. I had a bit of trouble at first between this sudden rush of intoxicating power and the incomparable pain but I held on. I wouldn't be a worthy Empress if I couldn't even handle my first evolution!*
[I didn't doubt you, you didn't even scream in the face of adversity].
Hearing her words, the pain came back to my mind for a short while. At that moment, I had felt as if my body was being crushed with a sledgehammer to reshape it, stretching me again and again.
*As if anyone would dare to touch a hair on this cute little one....little ?*
Suddenly remembering that I had also changed physically, I galloped eagerly to the small river to observe my reflection. I had become very tall, taller than when I was born a few days ago. In the reflection in front of me was a majestic wolf, adult lion size with two large blood red horns in the same place as the previous ones. Her gaze was piercing, even more so than before as you could see her violet eyes shine with a glint of dominance. The she-wolf had a soiled fur of a hypnotizing black, which could make anyone's mind waver with a simple look. She stood there looking noble, fierce and proud. This she-wolf...she was the new me.
*aaah this pain was well worth it!*
[Hai! You are beautiful Freya-sama]
*Thanks you (how cute)*
Returning to the cave as I scrolled through the notification history, I almost let out a yelp of shock.
*This is crazy! Besides my changed physique, I have so many new things. And it's 100 attribute points, a treat!*
Following my plan (well, Kira's plan) to distribute my strength evenly, I hurriedly used those 100 points.
*Yosh! Perfect.*
_____
Strength: 65 > 85
Defense: 56 > 76
Agility: 65 > 85
Stamina : 58 > 78
Speed : 57 > 77
Intelligence : 110
_______
Another surge of power made me tremble with satisfaction, but this time it was more violent, more savage. I liked this feeling, it was the proof that I was still alive and that I was giving myself body and soul to become stronger day by day.
In full strength and full of power, I was scanning the rest of my notifications. All my skills had gone up in level, most of them had even changed their name to match the new demon I had become. For the most part, their uses didn't really change, they just became more powerful. But there were exceptions.
[Infernal Ice Spikes (lvl 4) - allows the user to form multiple ice spikes that can be summoned and/or thrown within 200 yards. The "infernal" addition also allows the user to inflict severe burns from the simple contact of the ice. Current maximum capacity: 37 spikes ]
*37 spikes! How is this possible?*
[Since your skill has been upgraded to level 4, each spike spends about 200 MP. So it's possible to make a maximum of 37 spikes with the amount of MP you have now Freya-sama. If I'm not mistaken, you haven't looked at your new profile yet].
*Oh yes, I have, but I'd rather keep looking at the skills that have changed slightly as I've evolved.*
[ The skill Chaos Storage now has 200 slots (1/200) ]
There were no other changes besides these two, but I was in an amazing mood after hearing all the good news.
*Kira, open my full status please.*

_________________
*Oh shit, look at those HP and MP! I'm going to have so much fun now!*
With my charisma level now at 110 instead of 10, I suddenly went from a cute wolf to a majestic wolf. At that moment I only wanted to do one thing: kill again and again to rise as the most powerful being in this world.
Pulling out what little was left of the snake from the night before, I began chewing on the flesh, thinking about my next moves in this forest.
*Kira, do you think I should head west?*
[I do think you should head in a different direction than the ones you took before. If you follow the river, you may well find more living things nearby. Maybe a herd or pack to hunt].
*It's true that now that I'm bigger, I can afford to take a few more risks. It's decided, I'm going west!*
At that moment, I had no idea that I was going to have an encounter that would change my vision of the world.
