Chapter 2: Evolution

After 3 more weeks, Henry was almost 8 inches long and his veins underground had grown. He had been using his veins to kill nearby worms and gaining xp.

"Let's see what level I'm at now." Henry said

Intelligence stayed the same and defense didn't go up by much, but everything else soared. I wonder what evolutions I'll have when I reach level 20, Henry thought.

And so, 2 more weeks went by.

2 weeks later....

[Host can now evolve]

"Finally, I can evolve! After so many weeks, I can get out of this shithole!", Henry exclaimed.

[Would host like to view evolution options]

"Yes please!"Henry stated.

[3 evolution options]

1. Creeping Rose

Can only surface in the nighttime and agility and magic is greatly increased. Host will have a great affinity in assasin skills in the future and will have Dark Aura. Host will not be able to change aura when chosen. Stealth will be automatically learned and maxed out if host chooses this evolution.

2. Death Rose 

Stats will stay the same but host will be able to use Death Aura after evolution. Host can control death and can raise anything host kills. The more host levels up, the more undead host can raise. If host's identity as a Death Aura user is revealed to the world, host will be labeled enemy of humanity

3. Aura Rose

Host can pick any aura element but isn't able to use aura until level 30. Affinity for any aura will be greatly increased. Host will be able to move around but cannot go more than 20 miles a day.

Creeping Rose seemed to be the most useful evolution in the beginning, but would probably fall behind in the long run so I didn't want to pick that option. Death Rose seemed to be more sinister and being the enemy of humanity didn't seem all too fun either. Aura Rose seemed to be the best option for the long run because he could have better evolutions later.

"Confirm aura rose evolution", Henry said.

He had decided on the third evolution becuase of it's versatility.

[Aura rose evolution confirmed]

[Evolution starting in 3 ... 2... 1]

"Arghhhhhhhh!"Henry screamed

Although he didn't seem to be making any noise on the outside, inside the system, he had been screaming in agony for 2 days.

Magic Stats increased by 1000

Strength and Defense increased by 100

Agility increased by 140

After the evolution, he started to move around, exploring the. WAIT. MOVING?

"I can move now, I'm finally freeeeeee!" Henry excitedly repeated.

He seemed to be floating around about a foot off the ground, but couldn't go any higher than that. All of his senses heightened when he evolved, so he heard a noise from the grass. A huge Bear started to approach him.

"Holy shit! What level is that bear?" Henry panicked.

[Would host like to apply the skill "Appraise"]

"YES! Why did you even have to ask me that." Henry angrily said.
