Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Aki Tomoya has been a player for over a year.

In the first game, he acquired a skill called Goblin Transformation and upgraded it to level 5, unlocking the form transformation of a large goblin.

Unable to keep up with the game's progress, Aki Tomoya gave up on leveling up and started buying other, more powerful skill equipment.

One day, when Aki Tomoya woke up, he was horrified to find that his fingers were getting thicker and his nails were getting longer.

This was a sign that the Goblin Transformation spell was about to be activated, but now, even though he hadn't used it at all, the skill had activated on its own and was completely out of his control.

"Is this...out of control?"

Aki Tomoya has witnessed things get out of control before.

Starting with the fingers, flesh and blood turned into a thick soup, the moment the hand was raised it was like stretchy cheese, then the face, the features began to dissolve, and a viscous black liquid dripped from the body, blooming into flowers on the ground.

After a few days of being in a daze, he inexplicably joined a game again.

With his power twisted to an extreme due to his impending loss of control, Aki Tomoya not only received a rating far exceeding his previous achievements, but also unexpectedly obtained this item.

……

"If given more time, I'm sure I could create a perfect piece."

The rewards from the last mission have all been replaced with evolution stabilizing potions, but stabilization is not the same as reversal.

Having managed to hold on until now was already the limit. Looking at his wrinkled green skin and the other equally restless skills and bloodlines, Aki Tomoya knew that there was no way he could drag this out any longer.

"Jolyne, why did you refuse?"

Despite the dizziness emanating from all around him, Aki Tomoya struggled to open the book and look up what had happened when Jolyne refused.

[The basic character setting of Jolyne as the male lead has been changed. Please revise the proposal.]

"Have the basic settings been changed?"

Aki Tomoya was somewhat stunned. What was the basic setting of the male protagonist in the proposal?

Gender, appearance, race, even XP...

"Why was it changed? Is he a player?"

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a piercing loud noise rang out, and sunlight streamed down, shining on Aki Tomoya. Looking up, he saw Jolyne's eyes, as black as ink.

His face beamed with the joy of seeing an old friend, and he said warmly, "I've found you."

Chapter 121 Galgame Proposal

Aki Tomoya has also met Jolyne.

That was during the freshman year sports festival.

Each person can sign up for a maximum of four sports, and Jolyne unsurprisingly won first place in all four.

With bruises on his face, Aki Tomoya sat on the bleachers of the playground playing video games, tirelessly promoting anime to the people around him.

His classmates felt awkward, glancing around every now and then to see if anyone had noticed that Aki Tomo was also talking to him, and then fled with his friends as if escaping.

In the crowded stands, only Aki Tomoya could stretch his arms freely, but he didn't seem to notice anything amiss.

"They clearly love anime but don't dare to show it; they're all cowards."

He wouldn't even be here if he hadn't failed to get the warehouse guard job.

The sunlight was a bit too bright, and Aki Tomoya broke free from the bishoujo game, intending to get up and find a shady spot to continue playing.

The moment he stood up, cheers suddenly erupted around him. Aki Tomoya instinctively tried to wave, but then he heard an unpleasant reprimand.

"Hey, you're blocking our way."

It was the person who had beaten him up, because he had ranked Miura Yumiko, whom he liked, last, and he was ready to stand up for his goddess.

Aki Tomoya readily agreed and squatted down, while Jolyne was crossing the finish line in the direction they were cheering.

Aki Tomoya saw Shiina Mahiru quickly step forward to hand Jolyne a towel. Sunlight shone on her flaxen hair, and a bead of sweat trickled down her flushed cheeks, exuding youthful vitality.

"What a perfect scene."

Aki Tomoya murmured to himself, solemnly memorizing this scene, intending to use it in the creation of the game.

However, he was stunned for a moment. Jolyne simply accepted the towel from Shiina Mahiru and left without saying a word.

"Not perfect at all..."

"Hey, if you're going to leave, then leave quickly, don't block the way here!"

Aki Tomoya stood in front of the vending machine and put in a coin, but the scene he wanted to see—the vending machine swallowing the coin and triggering the encounter between the male and female protagonists—did not occur.

After a loud whooshing sound, the drinks were dispensed.

He crouched down and took it out; it was at room temperature. Aki Tomoya accepted it with some displeasure.

Just then, Jolyne, who was wiping her sweat with a towel, also came over, put a coin into the vending machine, and with the same whoosh, the drink she took out was still covered in water droplets from the air; it was ice cold.

Although Jolyne never glanced at him once, Aki Tomoya felt inexplicably ashamed, a feeling he hadn't even had when he announced his love for anime at the freshman orientation.

Watching Jolyne's departing figure, Aki Tomoya had an idea for the first time.

"Why is Jolyne favored while he isn't...?"

However, Aki Tomoya never bothers too much with these kinds of troublesome problems.

Enjoying the fun of slacking off at the sports festival, he decided to buy a newly released light novel.

Then, with another loud crash, he was hit by a car, and afterwards, he inexplicably became a player.

Having survived the initial trials, Aki Tomoya looked at his player panel and chose to drop out of school.

“I am different from all of you.”

"Now, I need to find a non-human girl to create my game."

The amusement park was a little different from what he had imagined; there were no female goblins, because the goblins were all male…

A year later, Aki Tomoya woke up one morning to find green on his arm.

An out-of-control panic gripped Aki Tomoya, but luckily he obtained the solution in the next mission.

[You have obtained a random item: a visual novel proposal]

Props - galgame proposal

Description: Here's your proposal, go work overtime and rewrite it!

Effect 1 - Script: An excellent proposal will help you create an excellent script.

Effect 2 - Characters: In a traditional galgame, the characters can only be a male protagonist paired with multiple female characters. The more distinct the characteristics of the characters, the more powerful the items can be.

Effect 3 - Reasonable: The more reasonable the plot created in the script, the more powerful the props can be and make them a reality. Isn't that reasonable?

Effect 4 - Miracle: When a perfect visual novel is successfully created, you can swap your fate with that of a character in the game.

Bonus: None

Usage requirements: Have an unparalleled love for visual novels, activate effect 4, and be willing to give up your own destiny.

Aki Tomoya, holding the prop in his right hand and looking at his left hand, which had turned into a goblin claw, sighed, "Fate is also on my side."

Before becoming a player, he wanted to create a perfect visual novel, and he had even scribbled an outline on an A4 sheet of paper. Now he can finish it.

The perfect female lead is, of course, the angel Shiina Mahiru.

Aki Tomoya begins using the effects of the props to search for Shiina Mahiru's network of relationships. His time is running out, so he naturally needs to find someone with a high initial level of affection to be the male lead.

The story follows a cliché plot where the wind blows Shiina Mahiru's skirt, and Aki Tomoya discovers Jolyne.

"Jolyne, that's a memory from so long ago."

Tomoya Aki was pleasantly surprised to find that if Jolyne were the male lead, then arranging the female lead would be incredibly simple. Even the props department thought it was reasonable for him to have storylines with several female characters, and the clichéd plot written by Tomoya Aki actually maximized the props' effectiveness.

For anyone else, it would be impossible to complete the work in just a few days.

"I'm sorry, Jolyne."

"I will make sure you enjoy your life."

Yukino Yukinoshita spilled the tea, but neither of them reacted...

[Club route failed]

Eriri Sawamura offered her body to Kasumigaoka Utaha in revenge, but Jolyne ignored her...

[The "Golden Retriever Loser" route failed]

Before Kasumigaoka Utaha could even unleash her power, Jolyne quickly left...

[The senior student route failed]

Cold sweat poured down his face as Aki Tomoya wrote his final words, his last chance to secure his safety. Shiina Mahiru's death was not just reasonable, it was inevitable!

[Shiina Mahiru confesses her feelings at the corner]

Jolyne rejected Shiina Mahiru's feelings.

[Angel route failed]

[The basic character setting of Jolyne as the male lead has been changed. Please revise the proposal.]

"Is Jolyne a player?"

Aki Tomoya realized something in disbelief.

Jolyne has also found Aki Tomoya and quickly arrived through the Infinity Castle.

A piercing sound echoed through the room. Aki Tomoya looked up and saw that the roof had been ripped open by an arm, dust scattered everywhere, and the Tyndall effect appeared under the sunlight.

"Got you."

Before Aki Tomoya could react, a howling wind carrying slashes swept over him.

Red and green blood mingled as Aki Tomo was thrown through the shattered wall and crashed to the ground, surrounded by the same familiar scene.

He is hiding inside a container at the port.

Chapter 122 Otaku Becomes the Strongest

Suddenly attacked, Aki Tomoya quickly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was more than a hundred meters away from Jolyne, and his injuries had been healed.

The figure in front of them had demonic horns and bulging muscles, but Jolyne's features were still recognizable.

"Jolyne?" Aki Tomoya asked in surprise.

Jolyne glanced at the green on half of Aki Tomoya's body, and even the killing intent she felt lessened considerably. She chuckled and said, "Aki... Green?"

Aki Tomo didn't get Jolyne's point either, and just thought he was mocking his green skin.

Having just used his bloodline to rapidly heal himself, the process of losing control was already accelerating. Aki Tomoya, barely managing to stay upright, looked at Jolyne pleadingly, swallowing hard, and said, "Jolyne, could you please go back and accept the angel's confession?"

"Your brain doesn't seem to be working properly."

Jolyne frowned, sensing that Aki Rin was also acting strangely. The Taoist Heavenly Eye had thoroughly examined his body, finding it a complete mess.

Steel, green wrinkles, hair mixed on the entrails, it looked quite disgusting.

Having never witnessed anything like this before, Jolyne wondered curiously, "What's wrong with him?"

Aki Tomoya shook his head, then stopped and nodded, still feeling something was wrong. His left hand, with its menacing claw, suddenly plunged into his head, twisting it around a few times before he relaxed and regained some of his thoughts: "I don't know either. The moment you rejected the angel, I felt the wires in my brain snap, and my consciousness began to drift outside my body..."

Jolyne watched as his brains spilled onto the ground as his claws moved in and out, then sighed and calmly said, "Even if someone is an idiot, I'll still kill them without hesitation."

As transparency was activated, while Aki Tomoya was still thinking, Jolyne's right hand slashed towards Aki Tomoya's only relatively clean neck.

"First Form: Dust Whirlwind - Slash!"

Thunder roars and wind howls, lightning flashes and mist blows.

With his palm imbued with wind and thunder, he had already severed Aki Tomoya's neck.

However, Jolyne did not relax. Instead of using the Hollow Cry God to strike, she used her hand to touch the target, naturally in order to trigger the effect of the God Hand skill.

Now, the Hand of God has failed to be activated!
