Gaurav sat silently on the grand bed, the maid's concerned gaze still fixed on him. His heart pounded.
He had just awakened in a luxurious room, been called "Master" by a stranger—and now, memories of another life had begun to pour into his mind.
But then… something else hit him—like a bucket of cold water.
New memories. Not Gaurav's.
These weren't from his past life in India.
These were of Cyain—the sixth prince of the Aramon Kingdom.
The smallest, weakest, and most useless of all the royal children.
Cyain had no physical strength.
No magical talent.
No charisma.
Even the servants whispered behind his back "He's the shame of the royal bloodline."
Born to a concubine and ignored by his father, the King, Cyain lived under the shadow of his stronger, more talented siblings.
He had failed every test. He had been mocked in every public gathering.
He was known in the kingdom by one cruel title:
"The Decorative Prince." A royal by name, but a burden in truth.
And now… Gaurav realized he was that prince.
"Why the hell did I reincarnate into a loser AGAIN?!" he screamed inside.
But before he could even process it all—
> Ding!
Welcome, Cyain. You have been chosen as the host of the [Evolution Kill System].
Gaurav blinked.
> System Activated.
Method of Power Gain: KILL and ABSORB.
Absorb either abilities or stats from defeated enemies.
His eyes widened. "A system? Like in those light novels?"
But the words were clear—and cold.
> Note: Kill humans, monsters, or any living being to gain evolution points.
Absorption Options will appear post-kill.
He clenched his fists.
"So… this world may see me as trash, but I have something none of them do."
"I can evolve."
But then reality hit again. He was still in the royal palace, surrounded by knights, nobles, and political eyes. He couldn't kill anyone here.
And even if he did, suspicion would fall on him instantly.
He had to escape. Quietly. Secretly.
If he wanted to become strong, he needed real enemies—beasts, monsters… creatures that wouldn't be missed.
That meant only one place: The Forbidden Forest.
A wild land ruled by four terrifying powers—Elves, Trolls, Wolves, and Goblins.
No human dared enter it.
No human came back from it.
But for Cyain… for Gaurav, that was where his true journey had to begin.
That night, under the veil of darkness, Cyain packed the bare essentials.
No goodbye, no explanations.
Only a hooded cloak and a burning desire to rewrite his fate.
He slipped past the castle walls, unseen by guards.
One step at a time, he walked away from a life of shame and toward a destiny soaked in danger and power
