Sorry for the irregular’s updates but I’m waiting for internet to arrive it should take 2 weeks, and then I will post at least a chapter on weekends….
Chapter 8: Surprise and New Skill
Yesterday i was so tired that i didn’t even felt the earthquake, well i guess that now that I don’t have to worry about the house falling on my head I can get a good night of sleep.
And I would have slept much better if 3 oversized foxes with 3 tails each didn’t give me a morning bath with their tongues; they are now as big as the rock boar, what means that they have a big tongue….
‘Papa’ (x3)
“What? What was that?” (Philip)
‘Bad papa you don’t know us?’ (x3)
“You 3 can talk now?” (Philip)
‘We can only talk with papa or with each other’ (x3)
“Why can you guys only talk with me? And why are you 3 talking at the same time?” (Philip)
‘Papa you are silly we can only telepathically talk with papa because we are mentally connected and we talk at the same time because papa was lazy and copied the same information to the 3 of us exactly the same way and you still didn’t name us….. bad papa….’ (x3)
“uhhh? Ahhhh… only noticed now that you guys are talking to my head…. It’s weird…. And I was planning to name you guys once you woke up…..mmmhhhh…. you have light affinity so I call you LUX (light in Latin) and your sister is your opposite the other side of the coin, always different but always together, I call you CALIGA (darkness in Latin) and the big brother that has the duty to protect his sisters I call you ALTOR (protector in Latin)” (Philip)
Once I said their names they shine for a second and then…
‘I will do my best to complete my mission’ (Altor)
‘I love my name thanks papa’ (Caliga)
‘Why does it look like my name is so simple?’ (Lux)
“Well it looks like it worked, having you 3 talking at the same time about the same things was starting to get annoying, and Lux you don’t like your name?” (Philip)
‘Altor and Caliga their names are cool but mine is so simple….’ (Lux)
“Lux your name may be simple but its meaning doesn’t lose to your brother and its cute no?” (Philip)
‘haahhh papa said that I was the cutest.’ (Lux)
Why the hell is she blushing? And how can a fox blush? I thought to myself.
‘NO!!! He didn’t said you were cute he said that your name is cute.’ (Caliga)
‘Arara are you jealous sister?’ (Lux)
Then instead of responding Caliga pushed me down and started linking my face, then looked to Lux and stuck her tongue out to her.
“Girls calm down we have much to do and Altor say something.” (Philip)
‘Father you said to protect them not you….’ (Altor)
I stared at Altor who was getting comfortable on my ‘bed’ like this situation has nothing to do with him…
“… I guess you are right but you could say something to help me” (Philip)
‘…’ (Altor)
Altor only laid his head down and…..Wait is he sleeping??? The hell??? Here I am in the floor with two oversized foxes fighting on top of me and my only possible ally is sleeping like this has nothing to do with him….
While depressed I use identify on my new…. family members???

Ooohhh they jumped to the level 2 evolution thanks to me….. It’s a good think right??? Well they didn’t kill me when I was sleeping and they look healthy so it should be ok….
“Now girls I like you both but I have much to do and you already know how to use your skills?” (Philip)
They both stopped when I said that I liked them and turn their heads away what is funny when you can see it from my perspective (they still have their front legs on my torso), but when I asked if they know how to control their skills they both look at me and….. grin? That is scary when they try to smile they can only show their fangs and that is more scary that anything not that I’m going to tell them.
‘Of course we know how to control our skills papa that’s easy.’ (Lux)
‘When we evolved we gained new skills and know right away how to use them.’ (Caliga)
“Ahh?? That’s a cheat I have to learn how to use my skills and you guys only *puff* and know everything?” (Philip)
‘We only know how to use the skills that we gained thought evolving and as father can see they are limited.’ (Altor)
Who answers me was the sleeping fox who didn’t even open his eyes.
“Oh! You are still awake Altor? I thought that you were having a nice dream by now.” (Philip)
‘…’ (Altor)
“I see that you are a man/fox of few words.” (Philip)
‘…’ (Altor)
I don’t know what to do with these 3 foxes, 2 only fight with one another and the last one doesn’t care about anything….. I only wanted some pets to have some company *tear on the eye*.

“Ok guys I like you all and have lots of things to talk to you about but I have some things to do.” (Philip)
Gently pushing the sisters aside I got up and go to my bedroom since I reformed the house I don’t have to worry about it falling down or monsters getting in at least I still didn’t see non until now but I think that a level 3 boar can burst in, I can only hope that there isn’t anything like that around.
‘Papa, can we go play outside?’ (Caliga)
‘Can we papa?’ (Lux)
“…….just don’t go too far away I will leave the door open so that you can get inside, and Altor please take care of you sisters.” (Philip)
I barely open the door when 2 foxes storm passed me and the third one lazily got up and walked behind his hyper sisters… I just don’t get these guys dark and water should be calm elements…. It seems that the elements mix was a mistake….
I was going to my bedroom to do some experiments but I can’t leave the door open and leave these guys without supervision so I get a chair and sit outside next to the door.
First thing let’s see what the update was.
Warning:4nd WORLD UPDATE COMPLETE: Planet size increased 57,2%;
New metals start forming on earth;
Microorganisms are now allowed to evolve (virus, Deceases, ….);Evolution finish in: 4 days 23:46:10
Oohhhh maybe now we will have slimes??? That would be….. Interesting? But jokes aside virus and deceases will become even more dangerous …. It looks like I would need some light skills like heal…… or maybe Lux can use them…… I would look at that later.
What I’m worried about now is that yesterday I was so tired that I didn’t spend my points so I’m a little afraid of what the system brought for me….
MetamorphoseLevel: n/aAbility to transform.Forms:-Human
-Fox
-Water Lizard
-Carnivorous Water Lizard
And that’s it the system used my 50 000+ points on this ability and that’s it. I don’t know how to feel about it, it could be a useful skill but 50 K points that’s too much for a single skill… And why can I only ‘transform’ to those 3? If its animals that I kill the boar option should have appeared……mmmhhhhh…… maybe if i…….
“Kids get inside I have something to do.” (Philip) I don’t believe I just said that.
‘Just a little more, please.’ (Caliga)
‘I will not lose…..*grrr*’ (Lux)
They are just like kids, they are ‘playing’ war and Caliga is winning. Altor is in a corner sleeping, I’m starting to worry about that guy.
Let’s see if this works.
“The first one inside gets the biggest piece of level 2 boar.” (Philip)
I don’t know what happened I only feel a gust of wind while the sisters were still running to me who was right next to the door….. I look to see who run past me in record time…. And saw Altor sit inside with his tail shaking at an amazing speed…..
“What got to you Altor?” (Philip)
‘….Hungry.’ (Altor)
“You never eat meat so why are you so eager?” (Philip)
‘Father's memories… your memories… boar delicious.’ (Altor)
“How do you have my memories unless…..I also copied my memories…. If that’s the case you know what happened to your parents…” (Philip)
‘…. Yes we know….’ (Altor)
“Then why…..” (Philip)
Then the 2 late fox knock me down.
‘You are on the way papa.’ (Lux)
‘Meat I want meat.’ (Caliga)
I guess we can discuss this later.
“Alright guys I still have to skin it” (Philip)
‘Bad father you promised meat.’ (Altor)
“I have some lizard if you can’t wait.” (Philip)
‘What evolution?’(Altor)
“Does that matter?”(Philip)
‘Bigger evolution… more mana… more delicious’ (Altor)
“ohh! Really I can’t wait to taste the difference between boar level 1 and level 2. I have meat from 2 levels 1 water lizard and a level 2 carnivorous water lizard.”(Philip)
‘Water lizards? They use water magic?’(Lux)
“Of course, why does that make them better too?”(Philip)
‘Same type of mana gives us more strength. ’ (Altor)
“How do you know things that I don’t know? You are only a few days old.” (Philip)
‘Evolution brings knowledge… if you can understand it. ’ (Altor)
“That is interesting I can’t wait to evolve myself” (Philip)
After that I gave them the level 2 meat and got to my job.
……..
What I got from the 2 boars was 4 tusks and 2 hides, one big enough to do a full suit.
To remove the rock from the level 2 boar I have to use dark clothing on my knife, or I wouldn’t be able to remove the rock armor without the sledgehammer…
While I was cleaning the bathtub Altor got in and stopped by my side.
“You know what I did to your parents.” (Philip)
‘Yes, we know’ (Altor)
“Then why you call me father? And why I’m still alive you 3 could have killed me when I was asleep.” (Philip)
‘We could have and we almost did.’ (Altor)
“Then….” (Philip)
‘Killing you won’t bring our parents back, and you aren’t a bad guy… you just didn’t want to be alone.’ (Altor)
“…..Thank you” (Philip)
‘But if those 2 get hurt because of you I would kill you myself’ (Altor)
“*Smirk* I wouldn’t have it any other way” (Philip)
*Ping*

It looks like I was right; to unlock transformations I have to know the body from inside out…. I can’t wait to find a dragon…..
