《Reborn: Last Chance to Ascend》58. Everything is becoming so expensive...

Tier 5 (Locked- require higher evolution)

The shine in my eyes increased even more as my gaze stopped at the bright red [Perditiomancy].

'So, this is interesting. After I got options during my evolution, the content of the store will change depending on what I chose.' I deduced after I noticed that the content of the store tiers was highly similar to the elements of specific evolutions.

A frown appeared on my face, 'Still, the price increase is steep, especially for [Perditiomancy]. At least I can tell that after the blue tiers, there is the yellow tier and after that is very likely the red tier... No, there are likely some other tiers between yellow and red as it is too big of an increase in the price. In that case, where belong the purple tier and orange tier? Purple abilities, at least for now, are my racial abilities obtained after evolution and orange ones... I have no idea. '

I looked at how many CE remained after my evolution and frowned even more, 'Only around thirty thousand? The next evolution requires eighty thousand. I could afford plenty of stuff from the store, especially the previous tiers, but it would delay my next evolution...

Then my eyes shone as I realised something, 'Bonuses from the evolution are definitely great... but I feel that I can get more power for the buck with things I can buy in the store and that the main point of evolution is to unlock the next tier of the store. I didn't notice it before, as there were no options for evolution before, but now I can definitely see that most of the perks promised by evolution are unlockable through the store. So let's buy something cool... No, let's buy cheap but useful stuff first. '

I looked through the options in all shop tiers and bought few things that looked useful.

Ding!

Shockingly strong pain hit me, causing me to stumble and fall to the ground. My body started to twitch as all of my bones disintegrated and started to grow anew.

"Ahhh!" another surge of pain hit me. I put my weight into my hands and pushed towards the ground in pain.

"Crack!" cracks formed in the floor from where my hand was touching.

I looked at my hand. It was deforming, and tiny bubbles kept appearing and then disappearing as all of my old muscles started to melt to be replaced by the new ones.

I started to foam from my mouth, and tears started to fall from my eyes as the pain kept getting stronger and stronger. Then suddenly, the pain vanished, and I breathed out in relief.

I stood up, my legs still shaky, and sat into the chair, 'I can't keep ignoring my physical attributes. A strong mind requires a strong body... Hopefully, my bones will be not so easy to break after this.'

Someone would call these abilities expensive with their small bonuses, but I know that they would grow together with me without any additional investment.

'I definitely don't need another school of magic... I already have enough of them for now.' Then my eyes fell upon the ability, '[Reaper Form], that sound like something extremely useful, but isn't... well suck it sound too cool to ignore it.'

Ding!

System Announcement

You gained a new skill [Reaper Form I]

[Reaper Form I] - You awakened your reaper bloodline. You can channel its power to temporary gain a body of the reaper.

Death element damage is doubled

[Reaper Scythe] - Weapon of reapers, forged out of the pure death element. Anyone cut with it will be cursed by a random curse. It can apply damage through the defences. Damage depends on the user level and level of [Reaper Form].

My mood immediately rose, and magical energy started to move with my emotions. Forming complex geometrical shapes.

'So much power... While it lasts only five seconds as it is now. However, my power would multiply to a very high degree during these five seconds.' My gaze focused on the activation price, and regret filled my heart, 'Why have I neglected to collect death energy? I have only few thousand... With my current MP, its capacity should be more than twelve thousand. How many beings do I need to kill to afford such a cost? Well, it's not that much. It should be much less than fifty, even with beings under the level twenty. '

Alast I decided to use my free trial before it expired. Full of anticipation, I activated my ability. A massive amount of death element energy surged from within me. Purple flames ignited all over my body, consuming it whole. Then dark ethereal robe that looked like it was sewn out of shadows covered my body as I started to grow taller. It stopped when I reached three meters. My skin became so unhealthy pale, and withered that even fresh snow was dark in comparison. It looked like all of my muscles burned away, leaving behind only the bones and the skin. Luckily hood of shadows covered my withered face. All flesh on my right hand was burned away, evaporating into black mist, leaving only bare-bones covered in mist. Finally, purple flames extinguished except for two bright spots burning in my eye sockets. On my back, my black wings grew in size, and a massive scythe made out of a black metal covered in purple flames appeared in my right hand.

This whole process only took a fraction of a second, so regular humans would probably only see purple flames flicker before suddenly a horrible figure from mythology appeared.

There was also no pain during the transformation, even though how painfully it looked.

As I kept looking at my form in the mirror, I could feel immense energy surging through every centimetre of my body. With a flick of my bony fingers, I summoned a small magenta-coloured flame. It was burning with immense intensity, causing things in meter diameter to be malformed.

Then I swung my scythe, leaving a purple trail behind it.

"Bang", a loud shockwave spread through the room.

"I can't wait to test it in battle!" I grinned with my withered face, "This feels so strong, but something is telling me that I will need this strength..."
