Malakai's nose twitched as he cautiously approached the glowing heart.
He sniffed it gently, his nostrils flaring as he took in its scent.
The aroma was unlike anything he had smelled before - sweet and alluring.
His tongue darted out, licking the heart's surface, and he tasted a hint of something extraordinary.
Entranced, Malakai continued to lick the heart, his tongue tracing the intricate patterns etched into its surface.
The taste was addictive, and he found himself craving more. His jaws opened wide, and he took a small bite, his teeth sinking into the heart's firm texture.
The moment his teeth made contact, he felt a sudden resistance, like biting into a rock.
But his instincts refused to let go, and he crunched down harder, breaking off a small piece.
The texture was strange, both crunchy and soft at the same time, but the flavor was intoxicating.
As he chewed, Malakai felt a larg amounts of energy coursing through his body, like a river of power awakening within him.
Without stopping, Malakai continued to feast on the heart, his hunger for its power driving him forward.
The wounds on his body began to tingle, and he felt a subtle healing process start to take place.
The weaker injuries began to close, but the deeper gashes remained, still painful but slightly less crippling.
As the last bit of the heart disappeared down Malakai's throat, a barrage of messages flooded his mind, each one echoing with excitement and urgency.
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
[Leveled up!]
The chorus of level-ups was followed by a more significant announcement:
[Congratulations for reaching Lv50, you have reached the peak of Low Omega, and the requirement of Evolution. Find a safe place to start your Evolution]
But before Malakai could even process the meaning of Evolution, another message flashed in his mind, this time with a sense of warning:
Alert: Immerse energy detected, time before Evolution has been delayed. If Evolution is not begun within the time frame, the energy will self-destruct the body]
Malakai's ears perked up, and his heart raced as he scanned his surroundings. Evolution? Immerse energy? Destruction?
He needed to find a safe place, but as he looked around, he realized that this spot was already secluded and protected.
Why search for another location when this one would suffice?
Without hesitation, Malakai approached his mother, Akira, and began licking her face, trying to rouse her from her slumber. Her eyes fluttered open, and she gazed at Malakai with a mix of confusion and concern.
"Mama, I...I need to Evolve," Malakai said, his voice trembling with urgency. "My body is going to change, and I might not be able to control it. The messages say I need to find a safe place, but I think this spot is okay. I don't have time to search for another location. Please!"
Akira's expression changed from confusion to alarm as she listened to Malakai's words.
She struggled to stand up, her wounds still throbbing with pain, but she gritted her teeth and pushed through the discomfort.
As she rose to her feet, she swayed slightly, her legs trembling beneath her.
Malakai's eyes widened in concern, but Akira waved a paw, signaling him to continue. "I'm okay, child. I'll support you through this. Let's do it together."
Malakai nodded, relief washing over him. With his mother by his side, he felt a sense of comfort and security.
..
Amari woke up, stretching her small body and yawning. She looked around, taking in the scene before her.
Her brother, Malakai, was lying down, his eyes fixed on something in front of him. Her mother, Akira, was standing beside him, a warm smile on her face.
"Mama, what's happening?" Amari asked, her tail wagging curiously.
Akira looked down at her daughter, her eyes shining with pride. "We have a protector, Amari," she said, licking her daughter's forehead.
Amari's ears perked up, and she looked at Malakai with newfound interest. He was lying down, his eyes fixed on something in front of him. She followed his gaze and saw nothing.
Malakai seemed to be studying the something intently, his brow furrowed in concentration. Amari wondered what it was, but her mother's words distracted her.
"A protector, Mama?" Amari asked, her voice full of excitement.
Akira nodded, her eyes never leaving Malakai's face. "Yes, Amari. Your brother has grown strong enough to protect us. He's becoming something special."
Amari's eyes widened, and she looked at Malakai with awe. She had always known he was special, but this was something different.
Malakai was lying down, his eyes fixed on the status panel.

]
Malakai seemed to be ignoring the numbers and words on the panel, his eyes fixed on a specific tab. He chose the "Evolution" tab, and a new panel appeared.
A panel appeared with four choices. Then, a message appeared:
[Due to overload of energy, mutation in evolutions have been discovered]
The four choices disappeared, and two new ones appeared:
-Frost Fang Wolf
-Glacial Warden Wolf
Malakai was stunned, his eyes fixed on the panel.
....
Malakai's vision suddenly went black, and he felt himself being transported to a different realm.
When his sight returned, he found himself soaring through the sky, his gaze fixed on a breathtaking snow-covered forest below.
The trees stretched towards the heavens.
As he flew overhead, Malakai spotted a small figure running through the underbrush. His eyes narrowed, and his vision zoomed in.
The figure came into sharp focus, and Malakai's heart raced as he realized it was a magnificent white wolf.
The wolf's fur glistened with a blueish tint, and its eyes shone like piercing blue diamonds.
It ran with grace, its paws barely touching the ground as it chased after something.
Malakai's view followed the wolf, and he saw that it was leading a pack of tens of wolves, all running in unison.
Suddenly, the scene shifted, and Malakai found himself in the midst of a brutal battle.
The white wolf stood facing a monstrous creature with a long neck and spiky back.
The beast's eyes glowed with an eerie red light, and its jaws were wide open, revealing razor-sharp teeth.
The wolf and the beast clashed, their movements lightning-fast and deadly. .
In a flash of movement, the wolf opened its mouth, and a frosty mist erupted, enveloping the beast.
The creature tried to defend itself, but the wolf was too quick. With a swift swipe of its claw, the wolf struck, freezing the beast solid in an instant.
Malakai's vision snapped back to the present, and he found himself staring at the list once more.
