Tora was speechless at the shenanigans of these dorks while Hugo was close to fainting.
"Thanks for the gift in advance! And you know the consequences of going back on our deal right?" Rey said with a jolly smile.
Leo snorted and then said, "of course. Hugo upload the video immediately"
Hugo nodded and then started to upload the video on every social media platform like palmbook, slow-a-gram, barktter, and etc.
In an instant, every video reached more than ten million views and was still increasing.
(This happened when Shin was still fighting with the Orc King)
...
The memories were displayed in the darkness in front of him.
In the next moment, he felt like he was in another world. The sky was dyed red. The ground was pitch black and smoke was coming out of everywhere. Fire could be seen in every direction. It was like a post-apocalypse. Everything was destroyed. Not a single human life could be seen.
Only a man standing tall in top of a mountain of bones. He looked to be about 26 years old reaching a height of 6'1. The man had no hair but pitch white bones. He had no skin but he was covered in black armor. On
top of his head were long horns that curved into a single loop.
The man's eyes were no more. Only a pitch black darkness could be seen. Below the man was hundreds of millions of creatures that glowed purple. They all gave a sinister feeling.
But they were all looking at a single direction.
In front of them were myriads of creatures. Various races. Lizardmen, orcs, vampires, werewolves, ghouls and many more. Their numbers were even greater than the man's army!
Then in the next moment, the man was looking at Shin directly in the eyes.
"It's coming" the man said.
And in the next moment, he could now see the former orc king, Samson, along with eight more kings that were kowtowing to 8 different Gods.
'What is this...?' Shin thought to himself.
In an instant, the memory disappeared into his mind as he was once again assaulted by a wave of pain.
"What...?" Shin said as he woke up.
'Who was that man?'
'Was that Earth?'
'What did he mean by it was coming?'
'damn'
Shin was filled with myriads of questions.
[Ding Ding! You have killed the boss!]
[Ding Ding! You have cleared the dungeon]
[Ding Ding! You have been promoted]
[Ding Ding! You are now a Death Overlord]
[Ding Ding! You have leveled up twenty-one times]
[Ding Ding! You have acquired one hundred million and ten thousand kilograms of crystal stones.]
[Ding Ding! You have gained 26,585 stat points]
[Ding Ding! You have gained 5 new skills]
[Ding Ding! Since you have been promoted, you are now able to control 50,000 Undead Creatures]
[Ding Ding! Return Stone 1x acquired]
[Ding Ding! You have gained a memory fragment]
[Ding Ding! Because host has obtained a memory fragment, the host and the system will undergo evolution]
[Ding Ding! Changing system and undergoing evolution...1%...3%...8%...]
Shin once more suddenly screamed as he felt immense pain in his body. His bones started to become much denser and more sturdier than a diamond. Then, his appearance started to change drastically.
"AAHHHHHHKKKKKK!!!!" Shin screamed in pain as he collapsed on the ground. His mask fell off.
"My liege!" Samson said in worry as he quickly charged towards Shin to assist him. But when he reached a few tens of inches away, he was repelled by an unknown force.
"What?..." Samson said as his face was filled with fear. The power that he had just encountered was something that he has never seen before! It even somewhat exceeded the power of the Orc God that he was so fearful of!
When the percentage reached more than 60%, Shin's skin started to fall as only bones were visible on the left part of his body. On top of the left part of his head was a little cute horn protruding to the sky. There was no blood spilled. His skin tore as if it was just glued to him. Behind the torn skin was just bones. There was no flesh! Even his left eye was now gone! Replacing it was an empty darkness that was very very frightening. From the left part of his head, to his left hand and then to his left foot, it was all bones.
Samson as well as Shin's other undead creatures all saw Shin's appearance and then they suddenly kneeled. When they looked at Shin, fear, respect, love and loyalty could be seen. Their feelings were more intense than before!
[Ding Ding! 90%...95%...98%...100%!]
[Ding Ding! Evolution complete!]
[Ding Ding! Moniker: The First has been acquired]
[Ding Ding! You have gained three race specific skills!]
The pain finally subsided as Shin started to slowly wake up.
His right eye started to open as he layed his eye on the world. Even though he has no left eye, his eyesight was even better! His body felt a million times more energetic and sturdier! It was like he was reborn!
"What was that?..." Shin said as he raised his left hand.
"AHHHHHH!" He screamed and then he fainted.
Samson tilted his head and then after a few moments, Shin started to wake up again.
He looked at his left hand again and then he fainted again. He repeated this process for about three more times until finally he gradually began to calm down. One must remember that Shin was still an 18 year old young adult. It was normal for him to act this way since it was something really new.
Orcs? Monsters?
Okay It's acceptable.
Portals?
Sure.
But f*ck! Your left body becoming all bones?? What in the f*cking world is this???
He then touched the left part of his face and he screamed yet again.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Shin yelled.
He could feel a small bump on his head!
'Is this a horn?...'
Samson looked at his king and couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh. But he couldn't since that would mean he was disrespecting his king! So, a strange expression could be seen on Samson's face.
"Breathe.... Breathe..." Shin said to himself as he heavily breathed slowly.
Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale
Then one more shocking thing appeared in his mind.
[Ding Ding! Due to host obtaining a memory fragment, your innate ability: Purple God Eyes has evolved.]
"what!?" Shin blurted out.
"My King?" Samson said.
[Ding Ding! Purple God Eyes has evolved to Fragmented Divine Purple Eyes]
[Ding Ding! Would you like to display the information regarding your Fragmented Divine Purple Eyes?]
[Yes or No]
'Yes!'
Compared to all of the shocking power up that he gained today, this was the second most shocking. His innate ability evolving!
Fragmented Divine Purple Eyes
- An evolved form of Purple God Eyes.
- stat boost of 15,000
- gives the host the ability to hypnotize people and make them do what the host wishes.
'System what just happened?'
[Ding Ding! The memory fragment has affected the system hence, affecting also the host.]
[Would you like to see the changes to the system?]
[Yes or No]
'Yes'

'ArchHalfling?'
'System what is an ArchHalfling??' Shin asked.
[Ding Ding! An ArchHalfling is a half human and half ArchFiend]
'ArchFiend? And what is an ArchFiend?'
There was no answer.
'Even the system itself doesn't know... or that I am not privy to such information'
'I'll think about that later' Shin thought to himself.
Then he looked at beside the Current Stat tab, there was now the Inventory tab, Shop tab and an additional Skills tab.
Previously, Shin had to call out to the system to to the Inventory tab, but now he could just will it and the inventory tab will automatically be displayed.
Shin was excited as his eyes were shining from delight. He decided to first go into the Skill tab since it was a new feature.
'Skills'
In an instant, a vast array of skills were displayed. On the left were Shin' current skills and on the right were the new skills that Shin could acquire using Stat Points and Crystal Stones!
Current Skills:

Shin felt delighted and shocked. Previously, he only had two skills! While now, he has more than ten!
'Is this because of the fact that I got promoted and at the same time found a memory fragment?' Shin pondered on it.
Of all the skills that he gained, there were three that caught his attention.
First, the Spirit Gate, the Evolved Skill and then last, the Dark Harness skill which allows him to harness Dark Matter! One must know that even up until today, Dark Matter was something that was very mysterious. It was something that even the most genius scientists can't fathom!
And now, he can harness its power!?
He was filled with endless shock. It was classified into a race specific skill.
What kind of race could harness Dark Matter?!
And now that he thought about it, he was now something called ArchHalfling. A different race.
'Then... Other races exist? Aliens?' Shin shivered at the thought but remained calm. Although it was a very scary thought, the idea that humans weren't the only intellectual entities that exist was after all, already embedded into their minds by the existence of portals that lead to dungeons that are filled with monsters.
