My very first skill… 

[******] 

I activated it through the system since I didn't know how to imagine it. As soon as I started it, I felt something switch inside of me. It was like the blood-thirsty instinct that I have whenever I lose control… but much more sinister. 

My consciousness slips for a second before I look at my hand. A mouth of a ferocious dinosaur was surrounding my hand. It was layered with serrated teeth that bent in all ways, black and slightly transparent. 

The mouth almost reacted instinctively to the incoming black and white lights since it stretched out and expanded to 10 times its original size. It then created a neck of its own and wrapped its massive jaws around the incoming wave of black and white light. 

The black and white light had turned into a liquid that filled my slightly transparent black jaws. The ferocious mouth kept clamped down despite the liquid bursting in all directions while still within the mouth. 

Suddenly, I felt my mana drain extremely fast. I quickly concluded that my skill probably needed it to fight against the god-like light. 

I was in so much pain. I hadn't felt pain in so long that the slightest of pricks felt like a cut to the leg. Even though I had [Pain Immunity], a searing pain radiated through my body. It felt like I was standing right inside a volcano. 

I could only grit my teeth and try to bear the seemingly unbearable pain.

When the lights appeared, I felt a chill radiate down my spine. Aiso seemed to regard it as well since he immediately dropped to both of his knees. 

Only 20 seconds had passed, and I lost so much energy, mana, and stamina that I couldn't stand anymore… but the pain continued. I couldn't do anything to redirect my attention from it, so the pain felt like it was eating me from the inside out.

In just a few minutes, I had been drained by this much… any longer, and I'll fucking die. 

No matter how many times I mentally clicked on the skill, it wouldn't turn off. 

"FUCK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHY IS MY SKILL ABOUT TO KILL ME!?" I shout with the last of my remaining energy.

The mouth reacted to me once again, but this time it responded to my desperation. The jaws started to shake, and it seemed to clamp down on the liquid light even harder. The liquid light tried to retaliate, but it couldn't escape the jaws…

My last bit of mana drained, and I felt my consciousness waver once again. When I looked up, I saw that the jaws had fully clamped down and swallowed the liquid. It leaked down the neck it had created, and it entered my body. 

The liquid recharged my mana and stamina in an instant, but it didn't stop there. I felt so much power enter me, and it felt like I was going to burst. The pain subsided, but then the feeling of nausea overcame me. 

It was the worst case of nausea I've ever had to withstand. No matter how many times I gagged, nothing would come out. I had to sit there… just sit there and try to calm down.

The mouth turned towards me and lunged towards my head. I didn't resist since I had a hunch it knew what it was doing. 

The mouth devoured my body, and I felt the power circulate within me. 

The scythe in front of me had also started its evolution process. It seemed to be alive since long black tendrils wrapped the scythe itself. After a few seconds, it unwrapped, and the blade of the scythe had split into three… there were now three curved blades only about 2 inches apart.

The three chains that dangled from the handle now looked like real curved daggers. Before, they looked like Kunai, but now they look like the daggers my assassin corps uses. 

The dark blue one was now an icy blue. The dark red one was now a brilliant golden color. Finally, the middle one, or the black one, stayed the same color but was now a straight-looking dagger that dangled even further than the ones beside it.

… 

"*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*..."

The mouth had finally released me, and it was immediately absorbed back into my body. I dropped to the ground, exhausted. 

I scanned the room and saw an unconscious Aiso try to shelter my newly evolved scythe …

Wow… 

Once more, I scanned my status, causing my jaw to drop.

My stats increased even without evolution?

Suddenly, multiple notifications pop up in front of me… causing my jaw to drop even further.

[Gained the following skill]

[Divinity Domain (.005/100)]

[Gained the following body modification]

[Divine Mark] 

[Gained the following title]

[Devourer of Divinity]

[****** has evolved into Forbidden Magic: ******] 

[Divinity Domain]? That sounds like something only a god would have. Well, I don't even have 1% of the domain, so I guess I'm nowhere close to being a god… er- Spirit? 

Now let's see, [Divine Mark]. There's nothing visible to me right now, but there's a mirror over here, so let's check my body. 

Wait… mirror? We have a glass now? When did we have glass? 

Before I lost myself in my thoughts, I started to check my body. There was nothing besides a white and black ring that surrounded my neck. I could only assume this was the Divine Mark, but it could have also been my tattoos growing and spreading. 

When I started to check my body, I realized that my tattoos weren't becoming larger but had sort of thinned out and started spreading even farther. The nails on my right hand turned black, while the nails on my left hand turned white.
