" Why don't you introduce us to your party, i'm sure we can get to know each other very well tonight." He then starts cackling to himself, while Johnathan just looks disappointed with them. Not just because of the attitude, also because his evil laughter is really lame.
After he finishes cackling, Johnathan unsheathe's his sword and dashes towards the man, as he's the closest person. Switching his eyes to the eyes of a Lesser vampire, he clashes swords with the man, overpowering him instantly, and he then falls to the floor, limbs flailing. After that, the 3 remaining goons try to run, but he dashes and hits them all with his scabbard. This little skirmish had caused a fuss, but no one moved, after a few seconds Johnathan pulls his head back with an insane gleam in his eyes, and starts laughing manically, and he activates his [Bloodthirsty Aura] making his blood lust visible. It leaves a clear impression on any of the spectators, and rumors would certainly spread to stay away from him. But this was why he laughed manically, to remind the hard headed adventures to keep their distance, as his attitude displayed he might have a few loose screws.
He then see Ruby walking out, and walks over to her saying nothing. They then walk away towards the inn. As they walk Johnathan mutters to Ruby "Whatever happens tonight, don't ask questions and do not, under any circumstances disturb me. Do you understand?"
Ruby then nods her head, taking the obvious signals this isn't something she should ask about.
After returning to their room, he lies down the bed. A notification from the system pops up, he's startled because he didn't expect it so soon. [The user can now evolve. Please close your eyes for 5 seconds to confirm you desire to evolve, evolution process will last 12 hours. You will be in a vulnerable state while evolving. It's recommended to find somewhere safe before evolving.] He then closes his eyes and leaves them closed.
Next thing he knows is he feels invigorated, like he has the strength to brute force his way through those goblins yesterday. He then feels a weird sensation on his back, and is utterly horrified. He makes some ice to look at his reflection, his hair grew down to his shoulders, curling up there. He then sees a pair of white and black wings attached to his body. "DAMMIT!" He screams. Ruby eyes open instantly to see Johnathan with a pair of wings attached to his back and longer hair. She just stares at him for a few seconds.
"Why the hell you do you have wings?" She asked, dumbfounded by the sudden development.
"I have no goddamn clue." He's clearly frustrated, but he's keeping his voice down now, as to cause a bigger problem.
He then turns to see a system window in front of him, so he sees what the system says to explain itself. [Congratulations, user for their first evolution. The path of an ocular menace will leave your body in a completely different at the end. Knowing what the path holds, the host can chose to stop here, or continue down the path of power. For better or for worse.]
[Your body has evolved, you have received a 10 stat point bonus for evolving.]
[The user can access the minimap function!]
[The user has unlocked the shop feature!]
[The user has obtained a multitude of new skills!]
[All Eyes have been enhanced or evolved!]
[Human Transformation] [Flight] [Feather Daggers] [Feather Shots] [Superhuman Regeneration] [Superhuman Physique] [Enhanced Reflex] [Enhanced Eyesight] [Parallel Processing] [Heightened Perception] [Enhanced Mana Regeneration] [Enlarged Mana pool] [Danger Sense] [Appraisal] [Telepathy]
Johnathan then decides to open the shop feature, as he has no idea what might appear. After opening the shop windows, he gets a starter package.
[Congratulations user for unlocking the shop, as a gift package for starting off, the user has received 1000 Credits, A free item from the miscellaneous section, and one free volume of manga or light novels. 1 Silver coin is equal to 10 Credits, 1 gold coin is 100 Credits and 1 platinum is 1000.]
"Didn't see that one coming at all, well let's try it." He totally disregards checking the description of all the skills, and decides to fool around with the shop instead.
He then picked vol 1 of Hell's Notebook, his personal favorite, and right after selecting it. The manga appeared in his hands. He was dumbfounded as to why his system could do this, but soon ideas started to form in his head. If he could buy stuff like this and sell it, he could get rich!.. off of other peoples ideas and hard work, but what did he care, 20$ is 20$ or in this case, 5 silver is 5 silver.
Ruby is dumbfounded as a what she assumes is a book appears in his hands. It clearly didn't belong here, not just in the room. But the flashing colors on the title makes her wonder how that got here. "What just appeared in your hands?" she asks tentatively
"Vol 1 of Hell's Notebook. Do you want to read it?" While saying this he puts his hand out and offers her the manga. She accepts it and opens the from left to right, like manga should be read. But he wonders if she noted the way based on the side the cover was on, or all the books on Nyx are like that. He doesn't know, but he just lets her read. Putting his questions to the side.
He then looks outside and sees the sun rising. He quickly calls out to her. "Hey Scarlet, time for breakfast, give it back to me, i'l let you finish it later."
She looks at Johnathan with a pleading gaze." Just 5 more minutes." She begs him while he walks over and snatches it from her, throwing it in the pocket dimension.
His wings then retract and he looks the same as yesterday, expect for the fact he looked more handsome somehow.
