Chapter 17 - You know, that actually doesn't look so bad.

He lies down on the bed, waiting for the message. It soon appears, but it's a different one then expected.

[The user has unused stat points, it is highly recommended to use them before evolving]

He had kept his stat points to see what would change in the message. Seems evolution bonus wasn't fixed this time, but a percentage increase he quickly opens up his status to place his stats

He then closes his status, before saying to Ruby "I'm evolving again, please don't disturb me. I'l be back in about 12 hours."

He closes his eyes, and this time he's greeted with the message he was looking for.

[The user can now evolve, the evolution processes will take 14 hours. You will be left vulnerable for the time you are evolving, so please find somewhere to find evolve, user. Unless you posses the skill [Sleepwalking] at level 10, movement will be impossible for you. You can shorten the evolution process by 1 hour per 1000 Credits. If the user wishes to evolve, please close your eyes for 5 seconds.]

He unceremoniously closes his eyes and waits for 5 seconds.

He then feels a burst of energy like never before, and opens his eyes. But then his sight feels a bit wonky. So he gets a mirror of ice, like last time. But now, alongside the wings, he had gotten another pair of eyes on his head, their slanted downwards, like the top part of the letter X. His eye color had also changed, going from his human deep blue, to a yellow iris and pupil surrounded by red. His eyelashes had also disappeared. In all honesty, he doesn't look so bad. Another pair of eyes would complete the X, but beggars can't be chooser. His hair also grew more, looking like he was transformed to third form of the main charter in Planetary Explorers z, it went down to his back, just past well past his shoulders, spiking out everywhere. However the color of his hair was black, not golden.

He then sees the evolution notifications.

[The users body has evolved, 22 points to Strength, Intelligence and Stamina. 20 Points to agility.]

[The user has unlocked the Skill Tree feature.]

While he's reading all of these notifications, he buys a hair tie for 10 credits, and does his hair into a ponytail, but it's still spiking out everywhere, but he doesn't really bother him, it has it's own charm like this. While he's tying his hair, Ruby wakes up. She's still sleepy so when she see Johnathan's wings, she rolls back over. Trying for 5 minutes. He notices Ruby's awake, but he doesn't bother waking her up fully.

He then decides to look at his new skills, eyes and titles.

[Eyes of a Lesser Silver Dragon]

[Silver Dragons are the strongest type of Dragons, being able to use all elemental magics and manipulate them perfectly to their will. With these eyes you can do the same.]

Your body is extremely flexible, so long as it's physically possible for a human, you can bend like that. Poisons are ineffective on you. Your body is as light as a feather. No noise is made when you take a step, Your body is weight is reduced by 40%.

[Eyes of an Accomplished Space Mage.]

[Distance is a concept you have complete control over. The user has pocket dimension that is 500 cubic meters. The user can open portals to anywhere, the further the distance, the more Mana it takes.

[Physique of a Martial Master]

[Your physique on top of being handsome enough to seduce someone by glancing at them, is perfectly suited to learn and use martial arts/techniques. Stamina drain on techniques will be half of what they originally are.]

[Demonic Regenerative Factor]

[Your regenerative factor is one of the strongest out there. So long as a piece of your brain remains, you will always regenerate. No matter the wound, it takes almost no energy to regenerate any wounds.]

[Battle Instincts]

[Your're able to detect danger and the presence of others extremely easily, even a glance of hostility will not pass your sense. Your reflexes are also great enough to catch the projectiles aiming for your life. In battle, your instincts will never lie to you, and will always be the correct decision.]

[Enhanced Eyesight] [4] [Can be Upgraded]

[Your Eyesight has been enhanced. You can see 25 mile in front of you if you clearly focus. By default your eyes can see 20 miles clearly.]

[Aura detector]

[You can see the power of someone radiating off of them like an "Aura". Powerful objects will radiate Aura as well.]

[Magic Resistance]

[Magic is less effective on beings like yourself. Spells launched at you have 10% decreased potency and 10% more Mana is needed to cast spells aimed at you.]

[Demonic Charm]

[Your charm is unparalleled, it will always leave women vulnerable to seduction.]

[Steel Wings]

[Your wings are as strong as steel, and can act like swords or shields, to block attacks or pierce enemies.]

[Four Eyed]

[Having four eyes now, you can use 2 sets of eyes. Does not work if skill [Human Transformation] is active, however the passives of the second set will stay.]

He was overall very satisfied with the evolution of his skills and eyes. His new skills were also very satisfactorily, omitting the ones that increased his ability to seduce women. He felt that this evolution was worth it, and he regrets nothing for going down this path. He then looks at his status again.

After looking through his status, he wakes Ruby up.

"What happen- oh my god, why do you have more eyes?"

"Evolution, and anyways, I think we should leave this town in a few days, I can't get any stronger here. I'm also sick of this room."

"What do you mean can't get stronger here?"

"You didn't notice? Killing monsters makes me stronger, the stronger the monsters, the stronger I become. After a certain threshold, I evolve."

After thinking about it. It makes sense to her, because he would always kill the goblins she put on fire, when she would ask why, he would just shrug and cut the ear off them.

"Sure we can leave in 3 days, but otherwise, we should still hunt goblins in the meantime."

After deciding their date of departure, they leave the inn.
