[You Killed Rage Beast!]
[Rewards: 130 Stat Points - Swordsmanship Evolving Pill - Spearmanship Mastery Pill]
''Hmm.'' Ichiro raised an eyebrow.
The rewards were great… Way greater than he anticipated.
[Rewards would not be as much if you were on Martial Commander or Martial General when you defeated Rage Beast. Defeating Rage Beast in Martial Captain rank has never done before]
''I see…'' Ichiro looked at his palm, and two pills appeared on his hand.
Swordsmanship Evolving Pill was small blue-colored marble with slashing marks all over.
Spearmanship Mastery Pill was small silver-colored marble with stabbing marks.
Without further ado, he put them on his mouth and swallowed.

[Swordsmanship Advanced -] Swordsmanship Expert]
[Your Spearmanship Has Reached Mastery!]
[Spearmanship Beginner -] Spearmanship Master I]
Ichiro put the Interface in front of him and looked at his stats.
His mouth curved into a smile.

[You Have Reached New Rank!]
[Peak Martial Captain -] Low Martial Commander]
[Evolving Commences!]
[Host, be prepared for pain!]
''Pain? What the f—'' Ichiro's words were cut off because out of nowhere, every fiber of his body started screaming in pain!
''ARGHHHHH!'' Ichiro fell down on the ground.
His cry of agony echoed in the cave. Ichiro felt like every part of his nerve system was under attack.
Every time a new attack happened, it was like his whole body was lit in flames, and there was nothing he could do.
Rarely he felt this helpless.
Ichiro's bones and organs shifted places in his body. The bones kept breaking and reconstructing, making the bones much stronger and durable.
''AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!'' Soon Ichiro's voice became hoarse.
Day went by slowly.
Sun left the sky, and the darkness filled the world of Frozen Island once again.
In one of the caves. A young man with black hair was lying on the ground. There was some kind of pool of blood around the young man, but it was dried up.
The young man looked like he had died of injuries, but his chest was moving up and down, signaling that he was still alive!
Ichiro groggily opened his eyes, and with hazy vision, saw the ceiling of the cave.
*Ding*
[Evolving Finished!]
[Low Martial Commander Reached!]
[Rewards: 100 Stat Points - 10000 Coins - 5000 XP - Martial Arts Style Improvement Token (Epic)]
Ichiro used his arms to pull himself up, but that alone made the ground below him crack!
He looked at his own arm and saw that it looked much more perfect!
The muscles in his arm was in perfect shape, in perfect order— it was like his muscles were made for fighting.
Ichiro looked rest of his body and saw it was much more muscular now, not like a bodybuilder, he still looked athletic youth, but his clothes hid his explosive muscles clearly.
He also felt limitless strength hidden in his arms. It would be not farfetched to say that with this state… Avery would have been nothing!
[Congratulations, Host]
The System's robotic voice was heard, but it had a tinge of joy, or it could have been Ichiro's imagination.
''Thanks…'' Ichiro looked at his own rewards and decided to put his stats first.

''Ahhh…'' Ichiro felt more energetic than ever before. He felt like he could jump from a cliff and land on the ground without any injuries.
He felt like climbing the world's tallest mountain would be a piece of cake.
''This is indeed… Addictive.'' Ichiro thought aloud.
Soon, his eyes lingered on the [Charm: 600]
''600 for Martial General…'' Ichiro shrugged and stood up.
There is still a long way to the Martial General.
But then, Ichiro remembered one very crucial thing.
A wooden token appeared on his hand, and messages popped up.
[Martial Arts Improvement Token (Epic)]
[Choose your Martial Arts!]
[…]
Ichiro started writing his own Martial Arts, and he kept thinking, 'Are my Martial Arts finally reaching a new level?'
[Iron Style]
[Accept/Reject]
Ichiro pressed Accept and looked at the screen with a nervous heartbeat.
[Your Iron Style Has Been Improved!]
[Iron Style (Mythical) -] Iron Style (Beyond Mythical)]
''Beyond Mythical…'' Ichiro murmured and looked around his hands. He didn't feel any different.
[Iron Lance!]
He used his spear-like arm to send a bone-chilling attack. The wind itself moved away from the attack, but Ichiro didn't feel like it was much different.
Ichiro sighed, ''I guess only name changed… Disappointing.'' He shook his head and started walking away from the cave, with his whole body painted in blood.
Some blood was his own— some were the snow leopards.
Once he left… Wall dozen meters away from Ichiro cracked!
