my team and I had captured the enemy's stronghold and were now securing its inside while another team secured the outside, those with support systems were on standby and our fighters were Frontline and Backline.
I had a strategic system so I held an assault rifle and used my system to further help guide combat through my radio.
the steps downwards became older and older looking before we got to a completely overgrown area with something long and tall in the middle.
it took us a while to reach it since I made us clear the entire room to minimize the chances of ambush or surprise.
the long almost tree looking thing was odd, it didn't look like a tree up close.
I pulled down a strand of leaves and to my low level of surprise something was in it, the liquid was an off color and the creature inside was very much alive.
I tapped inquisitively on it to see if anything would happen, and something would.
the things one eye opened slowly, it looked almost human before it saw me and narrowed to reptilian and the thing disappeared.
the second it was no longer in my sight I heard screams from my team, raising my rifle to fend off the surprise attack.
only to find that everyone was dead and a man, no teenager, was standing in the center of carnage drenched in blood and looking around confused.

(you should've killed him)(DFD)
spoke to my mind as I let the man lead me out of the building.
I figured now would be a good time to check some stuff since I'd seen some backlogged notifications once my eye was open.
[slumber year 6,500 entered, conciousness stirring]
[awoken successfully]
[stats temporarily reduced to 50]
*what?!*
(that's a long time)(DFD)
I needed to see my stat page.

I gotta scan the kid, see what I can find out, he's lost in his own system page so I have time.
[scanning]
[name: Syn Ev
lvl: 41/60 (evolve at 60)
race: elder progenic blood evole
HP: 210/210->50/50
BP: 210/210->50/50
STA: 210/210->50/50
STR: 215->50
AGI: 238->50
DEX: 217->50
INT: 206->50
WIS: 207->50
status: weakened severely
this thing was stronger than most ever get to, there are kids who can't can't get to level 20 and he's made it to 41?
I wonder why there's a level cap at 60 for him, and evolve? evole? the hell do those mean? I know that creatures as a species can evolve over time but you can't just go around evolving whenever you want that's not how mature works.
most of its abilities are from blood, is thing thing like a vampire?
should I ask?

my tentacle form changed so much!
It was 6 feet tall standing on all 9 tentacles, my body was all black with red metal veins going from my heart around my body in an Intricate pattern, my tentacles were a sickly gray color while having blood red tips that grew a red metal blade on command.
which makes sense why I lost my whip and blood daggers, I no longer needed them.
I tried to see if it worked in my (human form) and to my delight they did.
7 inch long straight sharp blades and about 1and 1/4 inches wide up to the tip, came from my wrists when I extended my hand back in a fist, going back down and disappearing when my hand was in the way.
cool.
the man behind me had gone quiet a second ago and when I turned I found an AK_47 or what looked like an AK-47 in my face.
swatting the guns muzzle away from me with one hand I grabbed his throat and held him in the air with the other.
"what are you doing?"(Syn)
"aiming ahead of you to keep you safe."(military man) struggled to say to me.
(liar)(DFD)
*I forgot you're still here*
(can't get rid of me that easily sunshine)(DFD)
I dropped the man and began walking in a direction, he followed and almost immediately took over as navigator, leading me out of the building quickly and efficiently.
*how do I unlock the rest of my stats from 50?*
[will happen automatically in 5 hrs]
I sighed as the man gave me a weird look, I guess I had to wait 5 hours.
the man left me to go talk with some other people, I didn't care to pay attention so I just made sure no one was looking and made myself pajama pants and a t-shirt, something I'd missed alot and always wanted to have again.
creating a thick robe for myself as well I finally felt that at this point I might've overdone it.
[BP:35/50]
fuck, I have to remember I don't have the pool to waste like I usually do.
once the two men were done talking I was told that I would be escorted via helicopter to a place I had no choice In, so basically what started this, although I wasn't complaining as I was now back in familiar times, ah cellphones, the internet, comfortable clothes! and recliners.
I couldn't lie and say I wouldn't be enjoying this, kinda wish Luan could be here to see it, woulda called me lazy and too dependant,(sigh).
