## Chapter Summaries

### Investigation of The Ability of A Skeleton

As Rentt Faina begins his short-term objective of becoming a ghoul, he wonders how much power that he has in his current form as a skeleton. Although he was fortunate enough to posses all the three energies, which are mana, spirit, and divinity, he is also aware that his energy reservoirs were not enough to utilize them in a battle. On further inspection, apparently he still can use those energies even as a skeleton. He then starts to wonder whether a skeleton can achieve existential evolution or not. As he mind-wanders while exploring the labyrinth, he meets his very first opponent in his new life, a skeleton.

### A Skeleton vs A Skeleton

The skeleton realizes Rentt's presence when he closely approaches its location. The skeleton makes a cackle gesture as if it taunts him as the fight is initiated. As a skeleton, his agility is greatly reduced and he is slower than his speed as a human. He also loses his strength and makes it difficult to control his sword. Cornered by his opponent, Rentt has no option than to use the spirit art technique, where he infuses his sword with his spirit. His sword lands on and destroys the skeleton's skull then much to his relieve, it stops becoming animated.

### The Loneliness of A Skeleton

After Rentt picks up the skeleton's magic crystal, a stream of light appears from the skeleton's stack of bones. The stream approaches his body although he had tried to avoid it. As the stream enters, the spirit that he spent for the fight is refilled and also the reservoir for all his three energies are slightly increased. Based on the hypothesis that he have read before and his current experience, he tries to connect the dots on how the existential evolution works. After defeating more enemies, he firmly believes that he is indeed getting stronger each time he kills a monster. Feeling confident with his current strength, he is going to hunt the slime next. On his way to the slime spawning area, he recollects his lonely past life as a solo adventurer. Soon after he arrives at the location, he meets a slime.

### A Skeleton vs A Slime

Using his past experience, Rentt predicts the slime, that he is going to kill, has just been spawned based on the clarity of the slime's body. As he is getting closer to the slime, it notices him then spews acid liquid at Rentt's direction. After evading the acid bullet, he slices the slime in one swing. Unknowingly, his attack destroyed the slime's core and makes it lose its consistency. Although he know that his strength has progressively grown, it still surprises him by how much it has actually grown. After collecting the valuable material from the slime remaining, he continues his objective.
