Starting from the legs, the twitches slowly climbed upward to his waist where they halted their advancement and instead started to become more intense in twitching. Joshua wasn't able to stand anymore with twitching legs, but he wasn't ready to fall down. His sword thrust to the ground and he aided himself using it to stay standing up. His other hand, holding the fur of the Dark Shadow, did not move, and he looked down at his legs to see his muscles twitching as if some tiny beings were running around inside his flesh.

  ?An immense pain arrived following the twitching of the muscles in his legs; then, as Joshua endured the pain, he felt his body changing, and at once, like a cold splash of water thrown onto a sleeping face, Joshua became more clear in his mind. The pain and twitching in his legs were gone. And Joshua felt different.

  ?Looking around, the view he observed of the world felt different. Melavan standing nearby suddenly looked a bit smaller to him. This included everything around; the ground felt much farther to reach and the sky felt a bit closer to him.

  ?Knowing the changes didn't happen without a reason, Joshua looked at his own body and realized that he had grown taller—much taller than he was previously. And his legs were shaped into a slightly angular shape, like the legs of a predatory animal.

  ?His body felt lighter, as if a great weight that was previously weighing him down had disappeared, and he felt that he could run and walk faster than before.

  ?At the same time, another commotion occurred as the changes happening in Sedric also came to a drastic point; his reddened hands' veins became more red in color, appearing visible to the observing soldiers' eyes. Under his eyes, a red lining appeared, adding an increased fierceness to his already inhuman-looking appearance.

  ?After these changes happened, Sedric, who had been laying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up, showing no signs of pain and discomfort from the injuries he suffered. But most of all, the injuries that were given to him by the three-headed wolf had disappeared from his body with the changes happening to him.

  ?Once he stood up, Sedric first gazed at his body; his reddened hands and sharpened nails came into his view, and for a moment, all he could express was silence.

  [Sarithra has arrived to the changing world]

  ?[With the arrival of Sarithra, all the designated tasks of familiarizing new individuals into the changing world will be passed on to her; thus, from now on, users should request Sarithra for their own individual evaluation]

  ~

  ?A light panel appeared, bringing a new message to everyone.

  ?While Joshua read what was written, the other soldiers received another message, bringing the news of their own class achievements.

  ?Almost all of the soldiers that fought in the battle against the wolves had gotten a class for themselves. Those that fought with Sedric to defeat the three-headed wolf had all gotten the same class as their achievement for what they did. And those that stayed behind to hold off the rushing groups of wolves had gotten another different class.

  ?Melavan also had a light shine before him, showing the class he received for what he had done.

  ?[Individual quest cleared]

  ?[You receive the Elite class: Executioner]

  ~

  ?The words shone before him. He had received the Executioner class. He could, of course, understand the word "Executioner," but what is beyond that is still questionable to him.

  ?[Executioner class source is being granted to the individual; physical traits fitting to the class will be adopted from the class source]

  Following the light in front of him was another light descending from above; it was an object that lowered itself down, and came down directly toward him.

  ?As it got closer, its appearance became clear to him. An eye, it was, for all he could observe. Slightly larger than a regular eye, it had its pupil open, showcasing a brilliant luster shining upon its curves.

  ?It slowly descended until it hovered above Melavan's own body. Melavan did not react, for he was too astonished by the thing he saw; the pupil lowered and got into contact with him.

  The moment it touched Melavan 's skin surface, it absorbed into him. And it was then Melavan came back to his senses as the awe-inspiring scene had disappeared once the pupil absorbed into him.

  ?What followed was a twitching and changing of his body, where Melavan went through an immense pain as his body changed in some parts. Similar to him, in the field, other soldiers are undergoing this process, where some fall to the ground, unable to endure the pain, while some barely hold on.

  ?Sedric, who stood up after the changes in his body, gazed around to see his soldiers exclaiming in pain and suffering. The light shining before him disappeared, showing him the true reality.

  ?"What happened? Why does my body look like this, and why are my soldiers screaming like that?"

  ?He questioned, but no answer came, as nobody truly understood what happened.

  ?Joshua stood beside the deceased Dark Shadow's body; he had seen the light appear before him and also saw the soldiers struggling in the field. Reminding him of the situation he was in just minutes ago. Because of his experience, Joshua felt slightly knowledgeable of what is happening and was able to grasp onto something important.

  ?After the light panel disappeared, Joshua pondered in his mind, where he knelt with one of his knees touching the ground and his sword placed right in front of him, both of his hands grabbing the sword at the end of his pondering.

  Then he awakened his voice.

  ?"Sarithra, I call for you. Whether you are a ghost from the past or a curse of the present, I do not know of it. But learning from your own mystery and mysticism, what I ask of you is for you to show me my evaluation"

  ?His words are firm yet faithful, not having even the tiniest bit of doubt about what he believes to be the truth. And proving his faith, right after he muttered his words, the world felt silent in his ears. And Joshua heard the voice of a woman seeping into his ears from this deaf world.

  ?"Haha, you're the first to call me—a surprisingly fast adaptable individual. And you are still just a kid; maybe having childlike wonder within you might have helped you to accept reality faster than others, or is it something else?" It started with a chuckle, and hearing it, Joshua realized this voice belonged to the same voice that he heard when he killed off the Dark Shadow.

  ?Along with the voice, a figure became visible to Joshua. It was like a light, but in blue color, able to float and move through the air like a feather in the wind. Only her appearance was visible in the blue light, and the head was covered in a blue robe. But from the posture and the voice, Joshua is sure that this figure is a female.

  ?"You can talk? Who are you?"

  ?He asked, but no answer came. The blue-light-like figure floated through the air and flew behind Joshua before appearing on his other side. Her hand was moving forward as if to show him something.

  ?A light panel appeared above the hand, showing Joshua what seemed like his status.
