He's not actually sure as to whether it evolved when he reincarnated...or if it evolved as a result of OTHER abilities he got that boosts this thing.

He did mention before that he can't learn the "same" abilities from other creatures/people iirc...but instead they simply increase the strength of his currently existing ability.

He also mentions that he's NOT SURE if the Red Bear was beyond the time limit or not, not that it WAS. He  knows he was out for awhile, but that was about it.

Also...he's gotten a lot of abilities from one creature at once before he says. He just says that the amount he got from the Night Viper is a testament to their strength compared to his level/race combo when he first kills it. ^^

We don't actually know if he was born with an enhanced Absorption ability, whether learning other similar abilities boosted it instead of granting the abilities, or whether it's simply an evolution of the ability due to his power gains as he ranked up (in particular, when he became an Apostle Lord and received a True Name probably). It's one of the three, but afaik not even Rou is certain which of these it is. ^^
