Phew, it\'s done!
It is somehow finally done.
Man, I am a bit tired there.
Perhaps I did it swiftly but… consuming so much Mana at the same time really puts a burden on me.
My head feels like it is about to explode.
Seriously, the Skills for my mind worked perfectly, but after that, it feels as if my mind had become a messy hive of bees all flying everywhere.
Ugh.
But anyway, I feel like I should rest.
But this big meal right here can\'t be ignored.
Neither the other crocs…
What do I do?
I feel dizzy too.
Ugh.
Oh right, the mana core.
At least let me eat that before going to rest…
I quickly jump over the corpse of mama gator as Yuki glares at me curiously.
I use my claws and jaws to tear apart the flesh, and I eat as I delve into the large corpse.
A few minutes later, I find it.
Woah, that\'s big.
It has the size of a watermelon, was the Mana Core of the Rat-Gorilla and the Ice Bear this big?
I don\'t think so…
I quickly begin to eat it, taking large chunks as I chew and swallow it.
With every swallow, I feel more energy and power coursing through my body.
When I finally finish, my entire body is emanating a strong, blue-colored aura…
Flash!
My Mana Core begins to glow brighter than ever before, and I feel such an enormous rush of power that I instinctively pass out right inside of the carcass of mama gator…
…
[Day 29]
I slowly wake up, and I find myself surrounded by frozen red meat.
I really did just fall unconscious inside a corpse again.
No, I guess it is a good way to do it, huh?
I quickly begin to eat the meat as I crawl out to see what\'s up, and I find Yuki eating a wolf.
There are also another four wolf corpses around her.
I guess they did came here to eat some and she just… killed them.
"Kyuu!"
Yuki greets me with a kyuu and throws at me a pear.
Oh, thanks, a nice breakfast, I suppose.
I feel kind of bigger than before, or is it my idea?
I jump out of the carcass and land in the snow, and a small tremor happens, there\'s even a "boom" sound.
Woah, I am really quite big now.
My head is several meters above the ground…
I quickly decide to glance at my System so it can tell me what the heck is going on, but I believe that I have evolved.
Ding!

Oh, and I even got some of mama gator\'s skills?
Well, she had the tail whip ability, but it became a Freezing Tail Whip now… though Kin Control is there.
But what kin? I have no descendants to talk about whatsoever, so this is quite useless at the moment.
And even if I had children, wouldn\'t it be fucked up to control them through such a Skill?
It could even bring disorders in their years of development, which would be horrible!
Well, anyway, time to check my Status for the full list of changes through…

…
Wow, look at those stats, your little dragons had really just become a full-fledged adult dragon!
Well, young adult.
So how many evolutions next? Will I really get an evolution per Stage?
And there are 10 Ranks… and four stages per Rank…
Wait, so there\'s a total of 40 evolutions?!
Well, that\'s crazy already.
And even then, I still got a long way to go as well, which excites me a bit.
Not like I have turned into a bloodthirsty battle junkie or something… but I like to get stronger, it feels… I don\'t know… Good?
I guess I have really changed, I am turning into a complete insane monster at this point.
But I don\'t know… there\'s this feeling of fulfillment when I become strong.
Maybe that I am approaching a level of strength that could give me the peace I want to make me feel instinctively better…
Or something.
Anyways, I decided to eat all the other Mana Core left, which Yuki left for me from the Gators of yesterday.
Wait, Yuki… did you just ate all the gators?!
Yuki glances at me with curiosity, she doesn\'t get what I am trying to say.
Yep, she just ate them all…
Well, I will not give you any meat from the big one then!
"KYUU?!"
Of course, now you can miraculously understand me, can\'t you?
After reprimanding Yuki for a bit, I decided to eat the other Mana Cores and then eat slowly yet steadily the entire Mama Gator corpse.
I stockpiled a bunch of calories now, and I feel rather good.
After that, I also ate two whole wolves, until we finally decided to keep going.
