Although Ervas had been reincarnated two years ago, he had spent most of the first and second year developing. ​​

As much as he tried, he was not capable of conjuring his mana properly into spells, so training since he was born was impossible. Only a few months ago did he finally manage to get a hold of its own body, managing to cast his first No-Attribute Magic spells.

It took him a few months to finally get used to controlling mana properly with the body of a two-year-old half-demon. This was of course already incredibly talented, even if it was a demon.

Humans take an average of six to seven years to showcase some kind of mana control, and another two more years to properly cast their first spell. While most demons, even those subspecies talented in magic take at least four or five years.

That Ervas was capable of doing so in only two years was due to its inherited skills from the Samsara System, such as 'Memory Retention' and Mana and Magic Enlargement.

By having an abnormally high pool of Mana and Magic to his age, he managed to make the Mana surging from his soul flow around his body, quickly acquiring the 'Mana Control' skill by abusing 'Hardworking' and 'Memory Retention'.

"To be honest, that one and a half years were quite frustrating… I could barely move and my mana was hard to control, I often got headaches because as much as I used 'Hardworking', my soul was still weak… Ah, it was really a pain when it got split by that crazed god… just what was wrong with him? Couldn't he let me go in peace?"

Ervas was currently communicating with Gaia through mana waves. Gaia was still rather young, so she barely understood what he was talking about. She managed to feel his emotions and tried to comfort the young half-demon boy.

"Muh, muh…" she said, patting Ervas's silky black hair with her small bean-like body.

"Thanks, I really appreciated it," said Ervas, his mood slowly rising.

"Hopefully my other split soul is doing better than me, with what I can feel, it had managed to rank up and its soul had become strangely eerie… but strong. Perhaps it was reincarnated as a monster? Well, it might be a worse destiny than my current self then…"

"Muh… Muh?" said Gaia, noticing that something was done.

"Ah, it seems that they managed to catch another one… this should be the last one, and…"

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[Individual 'Rank' has increased from level 83 to level 85!]

[Furthermore, the Individual's 'Job' has increased from level 97 to level 100!]

"I can't evolve yet, but I can change job again… I will choose another job that can increase my No-Attribute Magic and finally communicate with dad properly… he is so stubborn, I'm sure that even if I were to bring the whole forest knocking in the door, he would never understand what I am trying to tell him… Well, not like I can even bring the whole forest, I am far too weak" said Ervas to Gaia.

"Muh, muh!"

Ervas has been using his magic nonstop since he managed to 'Tame' those plants three days ago, without stopping for a second to rest, and by abusing the 'Memory Retention' and 'Hardworking' Skills to their limits, he managed to split his own mind and multi-task even when he was resting.

The control of plants had become even better when he obtained the 'Botanist' Skill, as the plants seemed to be strengthened and obeyed him with less Mana required.

The plants had been constantly luring Horned Rabbits and Demon Rats with the corpses of already captured monsters, while the spiky vine trapped and killed them with its slightly lethal poison and some asphyxiation.

"Perhaps in a day or two more, I will be able to evolve, hopefully, my appearance won't change much…" muttered Ervas. In his previous life as Anastacia, he never experienced many appearance changes when evolving, aside from its goat-like horns growing longer or the color of its eyes slightly changing.

"Muh, muh!" said Gaia.

"Ah, right, time to change Jobs," said Ervas, being reminded by Gaia.

Ervas opened the 'Job Change' tab in the Samsara System.

Unlike other intelligent beings capable of learning Jobs in Kritias, Ervas did not need a special 'Job Changing Crystal' to do the task.

These types of crystals were granted by Vedon, the God of Inventions, Alchemy, and Magic to every intelligent race after he designed Kritias's System. There is one located in every city or village, usually in different Guilds or Churches.

Even such a small place as the Evergreen Village had one of such Crystals, located in the center of the village, inside a shrine made to pray to Bestellen, the God of Light and Righteousness. Villagers were often weak, and they leveled their 'Farmer' or crafting-related jobs at a slow phase, so they would only change jobs once every five years. There were some cases of talented people with fighting-related skills that would change jobs once every two years.

Indeed, Ervas had not realized how hard it was to level up a Job. This was because people would not be generally able to slay as many monsters as he had done so easily. Often only killing two or three Horned Rabbits or Demon Rats. And if they were to enter the deeper areas of the Devil Forest, they would quickly die to the fiercer and stronger monsters such as Goblin groups, Demon Wolves, and so on.

[Jobs Available]

[Apprentice Spirit Caster], [Apprentice Farmer], [No-Attribute Mage] (New!), [Botanist] (New!), [Life Spirit Mage] (New!)

Three new jobs had appeared in the Job Change Tab, Ervas was a bit surprised.

"I got Botanist and Life Spirit Mage… I do not remember any of these jobs existing. Botanist was always a skill, right? And 'Life Spirit Mage'… is it because I have a strong bond with Gaia, and it is the only spirit I have been using? Well, I had already made my choice beforehand, and it will not change. It is a priority to be able to communicate with my father before things go down. Having a Title such as 'The Mysterious Child of the Evergreen Village' means that the people are already beginning to suspect something from me…" thought Ervas.

[You have changed Jobs to [No-Attribute Mage]!]

[The Levels of the [Mana Control; Level 2] and [No-Attribute Magic; Level 2] Skills have increased!]

"Finally, I can use the 'Telepathy' Spell, Gaia!" said Ervas through Mana waves.

"Muh, muh!" said Gaia.

Just as Ervas had acquired the ability to utilize the spell he had desired since he was born in this third life, the door of the house opened.
