....

[presenting evolutionary choices.]

Bathsheba look at their evolutionary choices and couldn't help but think to themselves, so these are my options.

Bathsheba stared at their options and spoke to the Tutor.

"Tutor there only two choices? aren't there too little options"

[your evolution choices are affected by your actions and skills and Endowment that you acquire and home train your body with. these are the basic two choices that you have with your current altitude and body experience]

"My actions affected my choices?"

"That make sense even with my abilities and skills if my body doesn't get a sense for them, then it makes sense that I cannot have new evolution choices in evolution that that support them."

"It seem i need to train my new body with my skills and endowment, attributes strengthen my body."

"Tutor, I have a question if I chose an evolution will it affect my future choices or make it harder to level up later?"

[that is correct after choosing a evolution it will affect future evolution and you need more powerful skills and endowments for option outside of your evolutionary path.]

[for example, if you chose a thick hide rat kin you would have trouble trying to get an choose a wind sprinting rat kin because they are to much of different in their body stats and innate Endowment and nature.] 

Bathsheba no longer looked at the panel and looked out to the snowy waist lands outside of the tree. looking up at the dark shy and the snow falling the sight of it was beautiful dark shy with shining star beautiful and lonely.

but this place is not that lonely as it seems, with Bathsheba powerful soul strength they could feel many running around in the dark creatures most of them are predator.

I need to get back to the Mountain and must get stronger to survive in this new world and to get stronger. I need to accustomed skills new skills and Endowment and make them mine with my new skills in this new body to get stronger and evolve and reach higher Heights in this life.

Bathsheba jade eyes were close their eye and took a deep breath before open their eyes again and spoke to themself.

"It time to return to the cave, the stone room I found has some good stuff inside i need to search the surrounding and find something useful and maybe I could say hi to that younger brother that give me that little love tap and return some the love to them."

at that moment Bathsheba made a very malicious smile thinking about their red eyes younger brother in its birth swarm and their past life they were not ones to let go of little strikes like this and when they have to they would come back with even greater force.

"Here I come my sweet little brother."

Bathsheba shook their head and body then jumped into the snow that's building up in front of their hole they made and begin to dig through the snow following the innate sense of their birthplace to make their way to the location of the rat kin nest.

rat kin all have innate sense for the nest they are born in, with this Bathsheba did not get lost and successfully made their way on to the cave entrance that came from without being noticed by any predators. before they were small now, they may have gotten a bit bigger then were before they made contact with their patron, but they are still small nonetheless and can make their way back through the crevice.

enter the gap back into the cave system Bathsheba stop to sniff the air to find the trail that leads back to the storage room then Bathsheba face turn to disgusted expression.

"uhn...the smell of this place."

thanks to the imbalance of my soul there were disconnections with my five senses were not accurately connections with their soul and i did not notice what's the foul scent of this place. the stink of death all over this place and filth its everywhere all over this place.

ignoring the stench of the rat nest cave Bathsheba continue to make their way back the rat nest their birthplace. where their birth swarm where why, they made their way back to the nest through the dark tunnels and dark corridors that have been carved by the claws of previous generations.

Bathsheba has to be careful not to catch the attention of adolescent's rat kin they did not want to be one of those idiots' meals.

as Bathsheba move through the dark cold tunnels, they stop at a fork in the tunnel path they came across, stand still at the path as they stop to think for a moment to remember with path to take, they caught the smell of something sweet in the air.

"What that smell? its smell so good!"

this sweet smell made Bathsheba body send strong signals of desire throughout their body that made their mouth drip with drool.

Bathsheba begin to head towards the source of the smell in halve dais they could feel their bodies desire to head for the sweet smell, but their mind wasn't out of their control they could cease this action at any moment but wanted to see where it led.

heading down the left path follow the instinct of their body, they found themselves overlooking the gathering of adolescent rat kin fight each other for a corpse, there were six adolescent rat kin and were fighting to be the one that eat the one fallen adult rat kin corpse.

Bathsheba look down at this seen in front of them in confusion on their face. at the sight until they remember that rat kin are a race of cannibalistic the rat kin practice the art of cannibalism as part of their religion and staple food

they practice it so often that it became a trait for their race blessed by their ancestral god the Plague Baron.

thinking of this Bathsheba took a deep breath close to eyes and look inward into themselves and use their powerful Soul Strength to gain control over their body.

seeing the body of the Adult rat kin corpse they decided to indulge their instinct and head for it

as they focus on suppressing their presence Bathsheba body turn still as their breathing turn light and their presence became weak.

// it is detected that the host has initiate the skill [stealth] from memory //

// the skill [stealth] is very compatible with host body and race //

// the skill [stealth] has been learned //

[Stealth-with the host powerful soul they can control their body functions to precise control and suppress their presence and remain hidden.]

// Notice-enemies with a stronger senses or Aura can notice the host presence. //

// please remain a safe distance from other when in use. //

after the message appear from the Ark Bathsheba open their jade eyes and begin to start move in the direction of the gathering of adolescent rat kin move to them and remain unnoticed.

The [Stealth] skill has a very good synergy with the nature of rat kin I look forward to its advancement directions!

they move slowly towards the other rat kin above the body and use the [stealth] skill to remain unnoticed and dodge the other as they fight for the remain of the body

Bathsheba body may be new to them, but this is not the first time they stole food and resources from others mostly from scavengers that fight for the simplest grain of rice to higher bring powerful gods as they continue to fight for domains and laws.

compared to that. The fight in front of them is that of few children fight is nothing to worry about Bathsheba didn't even race a bit as moving past the fighting adolescence rat kin.

as Bathsheba watch the fight continues from within the dark of the tunnel as the other adolescent rat kin fight each other the remain, they slowly and steadily they moved towards the still warm corpse as they made it to body then reach out into the wound on the chest and took the still intact heart.

it was not surprising that even though Bathsheba took the heart the other adolescent rat kin remain unnoticed by the fighting adolescent rat kin thank to [stealth] skill made their back to the dark tunnel from which they came from

only after making some distance did Bathsheba let out a long breath and disengaged their [stealth] skill.

can't believe that work out so well good thing that they were blinded by their rage and hunger from their [Accelerated growth] that brought madness with their in Endowment [Cannibal] towards all of their race.

only thank to my soul strength that I can control the hunger and madness from [accelerated growth] can't touch my mind and i am still able to maintain my logically thinking.

Bathsheba look at the heart in their claws with excitement in their eyes and drool drip from their maw the heart is the source of essence for most creatures and where the purest essence is located.

//it is detected the endowment [Accelerated growth] stimulating by the scent of the heart a new trait is being generated//

//it is detected the suppressed Blood Potential [cannibal] has been release stabilized and controlled by the ark//

even with a suppressed Blood Potential [Cannibal] I am still at drooling at the sight of the heart in my heart, but my mind still remains clam. there is no madness in my mind, well many I have associate with. in my pass life will call me mad most likely my soul strength is keeping me in control of my body.

in my past life I would eat raw heart of wide animals and monsters that i defeated just to strengthen myself just little bit did not expect my first meal in this life will be an rat heart.
