Chapter 4: Chaos is Born

Lance opened his eyes slowly. Looking up, all he saw was a plain white ceiling. Lance blinked a couple of times before it finally hit him.

His body shot up as he looked around to see where he was. When he looked around all he could see was that he was in a bathroom of some sort.

It was like everything he just went through was only a bad dream, except, he couldn't explain why he was in the bathroom. The last thing he could remember was that he was immersed in the worst pain he ever felt in his life when he jumped through the tear in space.

Lance then realized something peculiar, he wasn't in any pain. Actually, he felt better than he ever felt before. It was like he was reborn anew. He felt incredibly fresh and powerful.

Lance then looked at his body to see if he could see any cuts, but when he looked down he noticed that his skin was deathly pale. This shocked Lance tremendously. It is not like he was white and turned whiter... He was a dark tan before and now he went past white and went pale. Though it wasn't sickly pale.

Lance then quickly went to the mirror and that is when he saw it. His skin changing was actually the least surprising feature on his face.

His hair, which was as black as it could be, was now completely white with what appeared to be a black jagged streak going diagonal from just above his left eye, moving upwards and to the right.

His eyes though, were what drew most of Lance's attention. His left eye's pupil was red while his right eye's was purple. It was like his face had no symmetry, no order. If anyone who had OCD looked at him, they would be driven absolutely crazy.

Lance couldn't believe his looks. He then looked closer at his body and that is when he saw it. Not only was his chest perfectly toned with abs and pecs. There was a dark purple tattoo on his chest. It was comprised of 8 arrows all intersecting each other in the middle, creating a perfect symmetry.

Lance was completely and utterly stunned. He couldn't process what had happened to him. He didn't know how, he didn't know why, and he didn't what had happened to him. There was just so many questions that he had.

It took a couple of minutes for the shock to wear off and for Lance to wake up from his trance.

"OK, so a lot more happened to me than I thought it did." Lance said to himself.

He was constantly thinking about everything that had happened when he noticed something in the corner of his eye. It was like a blinking icon with the symbol of an exclamation point.

Lance was a bit hesitant clicking on the icon, but there was a chance that it had the answers he so desperately wanted to know. Plus, if he didn't click it, it would bug him for the rest of his life.

Lance then slowly went and touched the exclamation point. All of sudden, a whole bunch of panels flooded Lance's view.

Lance read every little detail carefully and was stunned again. From what Lance could understand, he was no longer human. Somehow he evolved with chaos.

Lance's brain was a jumbled mess as he still couldn't understand how all of this happened to him. And what was with The Lucky Idiot title? I understand that I could have possibly died from the chaos, but it was still a better chance of survival than the monster horde and demigod, Lance thought to himself.

Lance could only shake his head and sigh. He was just made fun of by God. Apparently, Lance became one of God's shows. God must be really bored. What a childish person, Lance thought.

Lance then heard noise that woke him up from his train of thought.

*ding*

....I really hate that noise...Lance thought.

Achievement: An Exceeded Expectation: Chaos Evolution

God never expected a human to evolve so quickly.

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

He believed that it was supposed to take many years before the first evolution ever happened.

God has underestimated humanity. No, he underestimated you.

He also never expected a new affiliation to be born.

God finds this interest, so he gives you a warning and a gift.

The forces of darkness and light won't be happy that a new force was born and will do anything to eradicate it.

So if you want to live, keep yourself a secret.

+ 1 mystery box

Lance blinked as he looked at the message. It was definitely flattering, but its message was pretty clear. Lance is not going to have an easy future.

"Ugh!!" Lance said as a headache was growing.

Lance then clicked to receive the mysterious box. The box then appeared out of thin air, tightly wrapped like a present.

"I wonder what could God possibly send to me. Is it an equipment, a skill?" Lance said to himself.

Lance then went and opened the lid of the box. All of a sudden, something sprung out of the box. It appeared to be a creepy blue jack-in-the-box holding what looked like knives.

Lance jumped in surprise and fear, and before he could even react, the thing went and used one of the knives to slice open a cut on the palm of his hand.

"Ow!!" Lance yelled as he flinched and jumped back. God is either a petty person and doesn't like being wrong in estimations or this is revenge for thinking he is childish.

Lance then looked and noticed something weird. His blood was floating out of the wound and another thing, his blood was purple.

Lance couldn't possibly believe it could get weirder than this, but he was sadly mistaken. His blood then started to coat the Jack in the box. It then started to morph into what seemed to be a small person made of a purple blood.

The purple blood then started to transform into a young boy. The young boy looked just like Lance, however the eye colors were switched and the clothes were different. The young boy was wearing a blue jacket with a black undershirt and jeans and sneakers.

Once all the blood seemed to completely changed into the boy, the floating boy then looked at Lance and smiled.

"Hi, big brother. My name is Chao, nice to meet you. Looking forward to working with you from now on."

Well, so much for not getting weirder. Lance looked at the kid smiling without a care in the world and he sighed. He has been awake for 10 minutes and he was already mentally exhausted.

"Alright... One, who are you? Two, what are you? Three, what is going on?" Lance said to Chao.

"Hehe, I thought you might be confused. So let me explain this to you."  Chao said cheerfully. "I am your familiar and also your brother. Since I was made from your blood, you and I are linked. We will be able to see through each others eyes and if you die, I die. Other than you dying though, I am pretty much unkillable. Don't get me wrong, I will die on my own, but I will always come back, you can never get rid me. Hehe."

Lance looked at his status and saw his new trait.

Bond of the familiar(Chao)

You and your familiar, Chao, have an unseen special connection.

Effect:

Able to share viewpoints with each other.

Chao will not truly die until you die.

When Chao dies, he will respawn in 24 hours.

You are able to speak telepathically with your familiar.

Lance felt this was going to be a headache. He now had a little follower and this follower had the spirit of a child, but the intellect of an adult. Such a nightmarish combination.

"Hey, I heard that!" Chao exclaimed.

Lance looked at him and said, "So I have no privacy what so ever anymore."

"Nope." Chao said and smiled.

"Great, just great... Well, my life is going to be an absolute hell." Lance said in anguish.

"It won't be an absolute hell, it will just be chaotic." Chao said and laughed.

Oh, yeah, this is gonna suck, Lance thought.

"You'll get used it", Chao said. "Now let me explain your third question. I am going to be your helper. God assumed that the humans would slowly get stronger and form groups and get classes in places like npc villages that God set up all over the world."

Npc villages, huh. Well, looks like I just have more questions, Lance thought.

"However, you are no longer human."Chao continued. "That means the you are no longer in that system. So you would gain nothing from being in an npc village. Actually, it would be the exact opposite. You would be in danger."

A bead of sweat fell down his forehead when he heard that. He now understood the severity of the situation. He can't form groups with other humans, so he is basically fighting against this new world by himself.

"Wait, what day is it? Did 24 hours already pass? What is the situation outside?", Lance said. He truly wanted to know everything he possibly could.

"Hey, don't interrupt me. I was going to get to that." Chao yelled angrily. "Now, where was I...? Oh, yes! That is another reason why I am here. I am basically the chaos form of a mage. God saw that you had the willpower stat, so he believed the best course for you to take was of a warrior of some sort. So I will act as your mage/healer."

"Makes sense", Lance nodded. He truly didn't give it any thought, but hearing it out loud, it truly did make sense.

"So, are you constantly conversing with God?" Lance said to Chao.

"No, he only gave me the basic of the basic information. Like a tutorial." Chao said, "After I explain to you everything I know, we will be on the same level of understanding."

Well, damn. It seemed this was not going to be easy, Lance thought.

"Not necessarily. If you didn't notice, your base stats are a lot higher after you evolved. Also, the evolution from human to anything is the hardest, and you have already passed it. So every time you evolve your base stats will just get stronger."

"Wait, I will evolve even more?" Lance then looked at his status and he saw that next to his race there is a G rank. So that's what that means, Lance thought.

"Yep. I don't know to what rank your evolution will go, but when you evolve, I evolve. So figure out how to evolve quicker", Chao commanded.

Oh, yeah, this thing was going to be a headache, Lance thought.

"I can still hear you, you know."Chao said.

"Whatever, continue with you story", Lance said.

"What's the magic word?" Chao exclaimed.

"Are you serious?" Lance said. Chao then nodded. "Fine, please."

"Ok. So, as I was saying, you are much stronger than most human, especially with your new titles. I don't really know how the world has changed since the two days you have been asleep... But all I do know is that there are crowds and crowds of low level beast to fight first, with some higher level ones mixed in."

"TWO DAYS!?!?!?", Lance was shocked. He could not even tell that that much time has passed.

"Yep, you were clonked out. Now, I believe that is it for your tutorial. So in summary, stay away from humans, I am your little helper, and let's go kick some ass." Chao said while raising his arm in triumph.

"I don't understand you. You make me say please like a child, but you say 'let's kick some ass' like it's nothing." Lance said.

"Hey! We're made out of chaos, we have no patterns. You will learn soon enough." Chao said with an innocent smile.
