[Earth 2020]
My name is Victor, and this is the story of how I met a ROB.
Covid-19 is a bitch.
True due to covid-19 I got the chance to binge-watch and catch up on an all my anime, manga etc.
However, the problem began once I finished watching all of the contents. When I googled when the next season of a certain anime I liked would be released I was informed all the production of my favourite anime has been pushed back by a few months due to covid-19.
Depressed I decided to take a walk when I realised that in a certain way the pandemic really sucked.
A truck carrying metal sheet passed me.
*Swing* Huh? Why is everything going upside down? Why do I feel so sleepy?
I closed my eyes feeling extreme lethargy overtaking me.
"Wake up child." I heard a sweet voice.
Opening my eyes, I saw the most beautiful woman chick ever.
"I am sorry to inform you Victor, but you died." The chick told me.
Ok…?
"One of the metal sheets in the truck came off loose and chopped your head off clean." I winced hearing that.
That is bloody gruesome.
I placed my hand over my neck to see it was still intact. "Are you joking?" Victor looked at the woman.
"No. You died that is the end of that." Strangely I was calm hearing that.
Guess reading all those isekai novels helped out huh.
"I am Lucy and what you call a ROB." Lucy extended her hand.
I gulped and shook her hand. "I am Victor."
"Excellent since we got introduction out of the way let us get to the matter." Lucy took her hand back and became serious.
"Normally you will be sent off to reincarnation cycle or whatever afterlife process that is meant to happen in your world.
However, I decided to snatch your soul from the afterlife in order to give you an offer."
"Why?" I asked with a bit of excitement. Anyone who read enough novels should know where this is going.
"Because I require your help, Victor…" Lucy began her explanation.
Apparently, there was some kind of dark entity in her world and she needed to send forth her champions to defeat the dark one.
"But why me?" Victor asked Lucy who pushed a strand of her golden hair behind her ears with a smile.
"Because you Victor are special. I can't say how and why but just know you are." Lucy smiled with encouragement.
"Ok, but how am I supposed to defeat this dark one? I could barely hurt a spider let along a dark one." Victor pointed out.
"Because Victor I am going to give you my blessing just like I have given my blessing to my other champions." Here it comes.
"What sort of blessing?" Victor asked in excitement.
"The power of evolution," Lucy answered.
"You can evolve your body as a whole or just parts of your body to make them as strong as you want by converting the creatures you kill into a source of energy for your body," Lucy explained while my jaws dropped.
Ok, that is fucking OP.
"Yes. Absolutely yes!" I agreed without giving her the chance for any take-backs.
"However, there is a slight problem," Lucy said as she lifted her index finger.
"You won't be born as a human." Uh oh.
"You will be born as a fly. Or rather what is known as a beast fly of that world."
"Huh?" Well, there goes that.
"But why?" I asked in restrained anger.
"Your soul is simply too weak to handle such strong blessing of mine. Which means I have to condense your soul and my blessing together which will cause your soul to be incompatible with a human body." Lucy explained.
"But why not other animals like monkey, tiger, snake etc?" I asked.
"Your soul will be too incompatible with any of their bodies. I am sorry Victor it's either this or no power. But on the bright side, the possibilities you could evolve to are endless and you can use magic as a beast just as soon as you are born."
I sighed.
A few hours later.
I opened my eyes for the first time in this new world I was transported to.
I felt the extra appendages I had, wings while being tiny.
From what Lucy told me I had 15 years to get as strong as possible before the Dark one begins his attack.

[Ez- 2 weeks after the release of SAD]
I am rolling in money right now.
I might be one of the richest person in the empire right now.
Alas, only problem was I wasn't interested in money right now.
I was more interested in acquiring principle particles in order to increase my rank now.
An award user ranks up differently to magi.
The more an award user familiarise and use their power after each rank up the more principle particle they accumulate to use for ranking up.
Once an award user uses their award plenty of times and gathers enough principle particle it will rank up on its own.
This was why it was important for an award user to have a clear picture of what route they want to mutate or evolve their ability towards because an award could rank up any moment.
Not having a clear picture while ranking up means that the ability will randomly mutate in any way possible.
However, unlike others, I couldn't accumulate principle particle like a normal person as it was one of my negatives.
So that left me the option to take the accumulation of other people from them.
I had already devised a method to do this but to do that I first need some materials to build the equipment necessary to take other people accumulation for myself.
This causes me to reinvest all the money I acquired from the selling of SAD back into the facility to acquire the materials needed for my equipment's.
"Your highness." Luke walked into my lab carrying 2 files.
"The detectives you hired asked to give you these files." I nodded.
"Thank you, Luke." I smiled as he left.
I proceeded to read the files. This was enough evidence to get those nobles to do what I wanted.
I took the picture of all the files and forwarded them to Dexter.
20 minutes later I received a call on my PCD.
"What do you want to do with all these incriminating evidence?" Dexter asked in annoyance.
"I want the death sentence of Dominic revoked to a life sentence," I answered which earned a frown from Dexter.
"All this for a death row prisoner who led a rebellion?" Dexter asked to which I nodded.
"What is it in for you?" Dexter looked suspicious.
"I am a nice person with a loving heart who can't see family broken…" Before I could finish Dexter hung up.
"…apart." I finished the last word.
"…" At least wait for me to finish my epic heart-warming speech of family and the power of unity I had prepared.
People these days.
Back in my time…
Never mind, just remembered I barely had any social interaction in my time in heaven.
1 hour later I received a message on my PCD announcing that the punishment for Dominic changed from death sentence to 10-year life sentence.
I felt a grin emerge at this news.
