I Was Reincarnated as the Weakest Monster, but I’ll Use My ‘Return from Death’ Skill to Become the Strongest! Even as the Weakest Monster, I Want to Get Stronger, Take Human Form, and Build a Harem… But Why Do Only Yandere Non-Human Girls Keep Showing Up? - Chapter 1.6

Would you like to evolve?

A voice echoed inside my head.

“Of course I would!”

I declared without hesitation.

── Displaying available evolution paths.
── Greater Cat.
── Evolution possible.

Only one option?!

Well, whatever—just having the chance to evolve is a blessing! Greater Cat it is!

Evolution will now commence.

And so, my first evolution began.

A blinding light radiated from my body, the sheer force blasting the dog away.

As the light faded, I immediately noticed the changes in my body.

My height had increased significantly—I could now meet the dog’s gaze head-on.

This was huge.

Size differences matter a lot in battle. Fighting something bigger than you is always a struggle.

But now—

“Whoa!”

The most crucial change, however, was something far more important.

The wounds that had been covering my body—

They were completely gone.

The constant pain in my back, the stinging sensation of torn flesh—

All of it had disappeared.

So evolution heals injuries too?! That’s incredible!

“Grrrr…”

The dog, now on high alert, growled deeply as it locked its gaze onto me.

But it didn’t move.

It wasn’t charging in recklessly like before.

“Just stay right there and don’t move.”

Or better yet, just walk away already.

But since it was standing still, I took the opportunity to check my new stats.

◆◆◆◆◆

Nice.

A huge improvement.

My rank had risen from H to G, and my stats had finally reached double digits.

Considering where I started, this was a massive leap in power.

Even my species name had changed—

From the basic “Cat” to the far superior “Greater Cat”.

Before, I was just a wild animal—but now, I had become something more.

A creature worthy of being called a monster.

And judging by these stats…

I might actually stand a chance now.

“Grrrr…”

Feeling a spark of hope, I turned my attention back to the dog in front of me.

Using Appraisal, I checked its stats.

After all, the skill wasn’t just for examining my own status—it could analyze enemies too.

I had been too afraid to do this before.

But now?

Now, I was stronger.

I could handle it.

“Appraisal.”

The dog was still growling, its eyes fixed on me.

But it wasn’t attacking yet.

That gave me plenty of time to analyze it.

◆◆◆◆◆

So this thing is called a Skiros, huh?

Its stats were actually similar to mine.

Its attack was slightly higher, and its agility was way faster.

Which meant… I couldn’t outrun it.

But on the other hand—

My defense was higher, and I just gained a new skill—”Throw.”

I wasn’t sure how effective it would be…

But having a ranged attack was a huge advantage.

Probably.

“Hah…”

Good.

I can win this.

I had been preparing for the worst—

For the possibility that I would still be too weak even after evolving.

But seeing these stats—

That doubt vanished.

I could do this.

“Grrrr…”

I took a deep breath and locked eyes with the dog.

“Come at me, mutt.”

Carefully, I bent down and picked up a stone with my paw, gripping it tightly.

I wasn’t going to make the first move.

I would wait.

“Grrrr…”

“……”

The air between us grew heavy.

A tense silence stretched between me and the beast.

And then—

“GAAAAAAAAARRRH!”

With a mighty roar, the dog lunged.

“Take this!”

Without hesitation, I threw the rock straight at its head.
