"Here. Eat it"
"What?! Are you crazy! You want me to eat the bone of your index finger?!" Jack said as he looked at Shin like he was a madman.
Shin nodded.
"Once you swallow this. It will grant you immense power" Shin said.
Jack looked at the finger bone and then gulped down a bit of saliva.
"Fine!" For immense power he would do it! He already said that he would be completely loyal to Shin! He wouldn't break his promise now!
He grabbed the finger bone from Shin's hand and then threw it inside his mouth. He swallowed it.
At first, he thought that with such a big bone, he wouldn't be able to swallow it all in one go or he might choke on it. But it travelled down his throat very smoothly. As if it wasn't a bone at all.
He then felt a very hot sensation on his stomach. He noticed that his skin was starting to fall down.
[Ding Ding! Evolution process has begun!]
"What!!! Is... Happening to me???!!" Jack said as he roared in pain.
Shin looked with eyes filled with anticipation.
He knew what was happening and he knew how painful it felt. He too experienced such a thing and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
Just like what happened to Shin, Jack's skin fell down. There was no flesh, no blood and no nothing. Just pure skin. But this time, it was the right part of Jack's body that had its skin falling.
Unlike Shin's, there wasn't a horn that grew out of Jack's head. But, his right pinky finger grew to an astonishing 16 inches and it was sharper than a blade! Jack was originally 5'7 in height but he steadily grew from 5'7 to 6'1! He was basically a giant! His pupils and iris were colored purple but his sciera was colored black.
[Ding Ding! Evolution to ArchHalfling has been completed!]
"What... What is this?!" Jack said as he looked at his hands in shock.
"Mr. Salazar what did you do to me?!" Jack said. Fear was written all over his face.
"I gave you power. As promised." Shin said as he smiled.
Jack fell into silence. He wasn't immature enough to blame Shin. This was his decision! He wanted this. Thus, It was only right for him to not blame Shin.
Shin looked at Jack. He waved his hand and then in an instant, Shin's original appearance was laid bare towards Jack. His little horn and skeletal left body was seen by Jack.
"You... You're just like me?" Jack said with a tinge of relief.
"Yes... We are both ArchHalflings" Shin said with a smile.
"ArchHalflings?" Jack asked.
Shin nodded.
"All I know is that we are Half Human and Half... Archfiend." Shin said
"A new race." He continued.
Jack looked at Shin in amazement.
"We are a new race..." Jack felt something indescribable well up inside of him.
Jack looked at Shin. He didn't know why but Shin looked much more admirable now than before. It was like all of his instincts were telling him to kneel, be respectful and loyal towards Shin.
[Ding Ding! Host has created an Evolved! The Evolved are your own personal creations. They are extremely loyal to you and will feel extreme respect and admiration towards you, their Progenitor] the system sounded.
Shin's head buzzed. 'He's extremely loyal towards me?'
"Jack, kneel" Shin said as he raised his left arm.
Jack instantly kneeled. Jack didn't feel like it was in appropriate. He just felt like he needed to do so. He needed to obey.
"My King" Jack said as he bowed his head.
'So even If I don't use my Fear and Hypnosis skill, Jack will still obey me' Shin thought to himself.

[Ding Ding! Due to Evolved having eaten a part of the host's body, the Evolved will be able to perform features from the system that were once limited to the host.]
'That's possible? Then I won't have any problems if I gave him a skill?' Shin asked.
[Ding Ding! As long as the skill that you give the Evolved is something that you have already bought, then it will not be a problem]
'Then give Jack a copy of my Transform skill'
[Ding Ding! Giving a copy of the Transform skill to Jack]
Then, Jack heard a ring.
"Huh?"
He looked up and then he saw a notification that says,
[Ding Ding! Your progenitor is kind! He is willing to bestow upon you a skill! Are you willing to accept?]
[Yes or No]
"What...? What is this?!" Jack said. Shocked.
He looked at Shin.
"It's something that is unique to only you and me for now" Shin said with a slight laugh.
Jack gulped a bit of his own saliva.
