Chapter 12 - Evolution

Lucas: "No, your father loves you a lot, don't think too much! He just has to go to a place very far away, you will know it when you grow up..."

Snow: "R-really? Then human, when will he be back?"

Lucas:"I'm not sure, but I'm sure not anytime soon... and call me big brother, I will call you Little Snow. Com'on, let's eat now"

After hesitating for a while, she went back to eating the pile of meatball. The heaviness in the air made the meatball seems tasteless now. Both man and beast went to eat their food quietly and prepare for the night.

Lucas: "Goodnight Little Snow.... sweet dreams"

Snow: "Night... big brother"

...

'Hot! So hot! My body feels like it's exploding! Why?! argh!!! Pain! My muscles are tearing and burning away! My bones feel like they are melting. System! What's happening?!?' in the middle of the night, Lucas was awakened by a sudden hotness that keeps circling around his body, like a tornado, getting hotter and hotter after every round.

'What evolution?!? Why is there suddenly an evolution? argh!!! I'm going crazy, what is this?!?' Lucas tried his hardest to prevent himself from screaming out loud, to prevent waking the soundly asleep Snow.

"What? Can't you just help me remove the blood essence? Aren't you the know it all? Why are you so useless now? Help!!! And what you mean by good luck?!? ARGH!!! It hurts!!!"

Lucas fainted before the system managed to finish talking. The next day, he was woken up by a cool, wet, slimy thing on his face. He could also hear a faint cry that pulled him back awake. "Big bro, big bro, wake up, don't leave Little Snow, wake up, wake ..."

He opened his eyes slowly only to see a close-up of Snow's worried face with a tongue that wet his entire face. "It's ok, Little Snow, big bro here just loves to sleep" He smiles and patted Little Snow's head and tried to stand up, however, before he even managed to take a step, his entire body collapsed immediately and he was lying on the ground as if a he was a dead corpse.

Witnessing this, Snow's heart skipped a beat. "Big bro! Big bro! What's happening to you? Don't scare Little Snow!" she immediately ran towards Lucas and frantically shook his powerless body. The shaking was so bad that Lucas wanted to vomit but he held it in.

"Little snow I'm okay please just drop me… Ugh i want to vomit."

Hearing that Lucas wanted to vomit, Little snow immediately let go of Lucas and his face

smashed into the ground once more, he was feeling the pain and wanted so badly to just cry out.

"My daddy, why is life so harsh to me…"

He struggled to get up once more, but no matter how hard he tried, his body was like a magnet, glued to the cold hard ground. 'System? What the heck is happening again?!?'

'GREAT MY ASS! Why can't I move? I'm sure I ate the carp's meat, definitely not the IceFruit!'

'Interesting? I'm not your lab rat! So... what's the mutation that you are talking about?'

'WINGS?!? What the f*ck! Why are there so many feathers on my back?! Shouldn't dragons have bat-like wings? Why do I look like a crow now?'

"Well, no joke! I'm a human, a mammal, too! Why the heck do I have reptiles wings? By the way, do all dragons have feathered wings?"

Snow:"? Big bro, why are you covered with feathers? Were you attacked by some birds last night?"

"Don't worry, Little Snow, this is big bro's wings..." Lucas replied as he pats Snow's head again. 'Too cute' after patting, Lucas went to try standing up again. Stands fall Stands falls Stands falls... He kept falling, even with his enhanced muscles and strength, he still found it hard to carry a pair of heavy wings behind. 'Damn! This is at least ten times the weight of my school bag! How could I even fly with this?'

Snow stayed beside Lucas the whole morning, she tried cushioning his first fall, but that one fall almost crashed her bones, hence Lucas told her to stand one corner and don't come close. She could only helplessly watch him picking himself up for one or two seconds before plummeting down again. The good thing is that he is improving with every fall. By the time the sunsetted, Lucas finally manages to walk a few steps with the wings behind. Gruuu~ Just as he was finally happy about his achievements and wanted to move to practice running, the growling sound of a hungry belly interrupted him.

Snow: "So..sorry, continue big brother..."

Lucas: "Oh, stupid me, I've forgotten that you have not eaten yet. I will prepare breakfast right away!"

Snow: "Brother, its... night time already..."

Lucas: "What?!? So fast? Ok sorry sorry, I will prepare the food now!"

'Snow is surprising good, I expected that she would be crying non-stop the moment she felt hungry... System, take out the meat! We're going to have a feast again! '

'Oh sh*t, I didn't notice... What to do? Little Snow is very hungry now, and I can't possibly go out hunting in this state... Must I cut my own flesh to feed her?'
