Wait, I am Eevee??
Chapter 7. Rank One.

In the boss's room. ----
[ Ding! You killed the Yellow Snake King
First-Floor Dungeon Boss
+20 Skill Coins
+50 Exp
+ Access to the third floor of the dungeon ]
Now I should have acquired enough skill coins. I didn't know that I had to defeat the first-floor boss to enter the third floor of the dungeon.
Kiran felt that gaining entry to the fourth floor would require defeating the second-floor boss. He had rushed right away to kill the first-floor boss after clearing the second floor, so he didn't know about that condition.
He checked his rank-up conditions next.
[ Ding! You can now become the Rank one magical beast by fulfilling the following conditions:
1. Defeat a level 5 boss (✓)
2. Defeat 100 Monsters (1/100)
3. Have an SP pool of 100 (✓) ]
Now, only one condition is left.
He wondered what level he would reach by the time he killed 100 monsters.
[ Ding! Synchronizing your kill count ]
[ Synchronizing 1....5 ]
[ Synchronizing 10.....15 ]
[…..]
What Synchronizing?
[Ding! Your current kill count is 89 ]
Ho, it synchronized with my previous kill count. Okay, just 11 more to go.
He couldn't wait to kill eleven monsters to rank up.
Before that, he planned to evolve his skills.
He opened his skill panel.
[ Skills: Spark, Lucky Aura, Flutter Step ]
[ Flutter Step
Level 5 Max
Proficiency: ∞ /∞
Required SP: 5
Flutter Step can be evolved.
Proceed to evolve the skill?
Yes or No ]
----
[ Spark
Level 5 Max
Proficiency: ∞ /∞
Required SP: 5
'Spark' skill can be evolved.
Proceed to evolve the skill?
Yes or No ]
First, let's evolve spark.
He clicked yes on Spark skill status.
[ Ding! You require 100 skill coins to evolve the skill Spark
You don't have the required amount of skill coins to evolve the Spark Skill ]
[ Skill coins: 97 ]
What? Do I still need 3 more skill coins?
His face twitched as he felt that he had 100 skill coins after killing the boss.
Skill coins are required to evolve the skills.
Let's go kill eleven snakes and rank up first.
He clenched his claws, rushing towards the third floor in anger as he couldn't evolve his skill as he hoped.
[ Ding!
You have entered the Second Floor of 'Silver Serpents Dungeon'
Level: 4-7 ]
There were two portals at the end, similar to those on the first floor.
He entered the left portal, hoping it would be similar to the first floor.
[ Ding!
You have entered the Third Floor of 'Silver Serpents Dungeon'
Level: 7-12 ]
Third floor, here I come.
He looked around the hall after jumping on the statue of the big serpent.
This hall was way, way different from the first and second floors.
Statues on either side of the hall were of the large blue serpents.
There weren't any holes in the marble floor.
The paintings on the sidewalls were of golden serpents.
The ceiling had huge chandeliers, which resembled huge serpents as they lit up.
Serpents left and right.
Wherever Kiran glanced, his eyes spotted objects and furniture resembling serpents.
The serpent structure was very ferocious and chilly, unlike that of snakes on the floors below floors.
Now, let's hunt.
He jumped from one statue to another, gaining experience from before.
Just after a few minutes, he spotted a group of five green snakes sleeping.
"Spark, spark. (Eevee, Eevee)." He silently chanted, wanting to finish them off without waking them up.
[Ding! You used 'Spark' ]
Gzz!

[ Ding! You killed the Green Snake (Lv.7)

[ Ding! Defeat 100 Monsters( 94/100) ]
He killed the group of snakes by using spark continuously without rest. Poor snakes couldn't even react, much less activate their defence skills.
In the middle, he got a notification of levelling up, which he didn't care about as he focused on ranking up to rank one more.
[ Ding! Congratulations, You have levelled up!
You are now at level 12
Your combat prowess has increased!
+10 SP
+2 Skill Coins ]
[ Name: Kiran
Race: Eevee
Level 12
SP: 120/120
Exp: 32/130 ]
He didn't stop after killing them; he rushed deeper into the hall.
[ Ding! You used 'Spark' ]
Gzz!

[ Ding! Defeat 100 Monsters( 95/100) ]

Gzz!
[ Ding! You killed the Green Snake (Lv.7)
+15 Exp ]
[ Ding! Defeat 100 Monsters (99/100)]
After killing ten snakes that he came across, he spotted a snake coiling around the statue on the right side.
He was slightly surprised looking at that snake, as he had only seen snakes on the floor in this dungeon.
"Spark. (Eevee)." He shouted excitedly, as he couldn't wait to rank up.
[ Ding! You used 'Spark' ]
Gzz!
[ Ding! You killed the Green Snake (Lv.7)
+15 Exp ]
[ Ding! Defeat 100 Monsters (100/100) ]
"Finally." He exclaimed, raising his paws joyfully, as he got a notification.
[Ding! You have fulfilled the conditions for becoming rank one magical beast.
1. Defeat a level 5 boss (✓)
2. Defeat 100 Monsters (✓)
3. Have an SP pool of 100 (✓) ]
[ Ding! Do you want to rank up to rank 1? ]
Let's go to the safe zone and rank up.
He rushed to the safe zone Ⅰ as he couldn't wait.
[ Ding! You entered the safe zone of 'Silver Serpents Dungeon' ]
[ Ding! Do you want to rank up to rank 1?
Accept or deny ]
Accept.
He clicked on the status panel.
[ Ding! You will enter a deep sleep state.
Deep sleep state will last for five days.
Time counter: 120:00:00 ]
I'm so sleepy.
His eyes felt very heavy, as he couldn't even stand properly.
He fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Bubbles formed on his nose.
His decision to return to the safe zone was indeed correct, as many Pokémon have died trying to rank up on floors rather than in the safe zone.

After ten seconds, he woke up.
"I feel so energetic. (Eevee, Eevee)." He shouted while stretching his body.
[ Ding! You are now a Rank 1 Magical Beast. ]
[ Ding! You have gained passive abilities.
Rank 1 Physical strength; Rank 0 Poison Immunity; Rank 1 Agility; Rank 0 Pain Resistance; Rank 1 Defence; Rank 0 Energy Resistance; Rank 0 Recovery; Rank 0 Elemental Resistance;...]
[ Ding! You unlocked two new skill slots ]
Whoa!
He was shocked looking at the lengthy status notification, which informed him of all the passive abilities he gained due to becoming the rank 1 magical beast.
After checking the notification, he ate rice and curry along with some water and coke.
Let's check out my strength.
He rushed towards the third floor, as he couldn't wait to test his new limits.
[ Ding!
You have entered the Third Floor of 'Silver Serpents Dungeon'
Level: 7-12 ]
He rushed deeper and spotted a group of ten snakes, with four of them being at level 7 and six being at level 8.
He jumped in front of them.
Hiss! Hiss!
Snakes looked creepily at Kiran and surrounded him from all sides.
He just looked at them plainly, not caring about their moves.
Hiss!
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.7) used 'Bite' ]
A snake rushed towards him as illusionary teeth formed in the air to bite him.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.8) used 'Poison Fang' ]
The second snake opened its mouth and tried to bite him as illusionary teeth formed in the air. The illusionary teeth had disgusting liquid around them.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.7) used 'Wrap' ]
The third snake's tail shone with a light blue colour as it rushed towards Kiran.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.8) used 'Tail Strike' ]
The fourth snake's tail shone with a light blue colour as it tried to strike him from the top.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.7) used 'Poison Fog' ]
The fifth snake opened its mouth and released a fog of poison that covered two meters around it as a radius.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.8) used 'Water Shot' ]
The sixth snake opened its mouth and shot out a water ball that was the size of a human head.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.7) used 'Poison Shot' ]
The seventh snake opened its mouth and shot out a disgusting liquid.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.8) used 'Fire Shot' ]
The eighth snake opened its mouth and shot out a small fire that was the size of a human palm.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.8) used 'Water Arrow' ]
The ninth snake opened its mouth, and shot out an arrow made of water.
[ Ding! Green snake (Lv.8) used 'Lesser Strength Boost' ]
The tenth snake shone with a light blue colour as it rushed towards him.
"Come on. (Eevee, Eevee)." He shouted, looking mockingly at the snakes.
