After a good explanation about Shadow, I became extremely apprehensive. How was I supposed to face such a man and survive? Plus, now I had at most 12 hours to get strong enough to defeat him.
The problem was that I lacked the energy for creating anything powerful, for example, when I asked the system the amount of energy I needed for a time based ability.
//The Host would need over 20 times the current energy.//
I felt hopeless at this point, when I asked why the hell it was so expensive, the system reply was that abilities or items that affect the laws of nature aren't supposed to be created by the energy at level 1, the bare requirement was level 2.
Meaning I would have to upgrade my Creator Ability to level 2 which I had absolutely no idea how to do. and even if I figured out a way to collect the energy into a place, it would take 2 hours for me to recover every time I collect it.
those are 40 hours that I was not willing to wait, to be precise, I was unable to wait for that long as I would be long dead by then.
So, after giving it a a thought, Here was what I was going to do, the plan was divided into two different parts; Physical level up and then cheat studying.
for the physical level up, although I was unable to increase my stats further before evolving from a level 0 being to a level 1 existence, what was to stop me from upgrading my race and purifying my bloodline, physique, mind and soul.
While this might not physically increase my stats, it would however make my strength skyrocket, and that was exactly what I was going to do right about now. I after all had to grow stronger as soon as possible or face death.

Looking at my interface, I focused on my race human. Humanity was a special creation of God according to some religions, humans can adapt to any condition given time, can evolve to a better species with time, can think beyond the horizon, and many more.
The only barrier humanity had was time, all the changes and evolutions they undergo take centuries to even show results, but what if this race was given an upgraded?
//CREATION of a race evolution fruit in process.....//
//Creation successful........//
//Description: A divine fruit that when consumed evolves the race of the taker to a higher tier without the change in race. The amount of upgrades range from 1 to 10//
I specifically used all my energy into this fruit, I wanted it to be as strong as it would be, as the red juicy fruit formed in front of my eyes, I grabbed it and immediately took a bite, and without savoring the taste, I gobbled down the rest of it.
In the following few seconds, I waited for some changes to happen but to no avail, from seconds to a minute to 2 to 5 to 10. As I was starting to wonder the problem, at the 12th minute, something happened.
A slight sense of discomfort finally surfaced, however it was too little I could even ignore it, but then all of a sudden, without the slightest of warning or pain, I fainted.
......
I woke up exactly 15 minutes according to the system, I was lying on the ground covered in stinky and sticky substances. And according to my knowledge of novels, this should be all the impurities in my body being ejected out.
This is where most novels say that the protagonist looks for a water source or went to the shower or something like that. But I guess I wasn't in such a novel, so I turned into a cyborg and made some of the nanobots to break down the junk.
and the next second, I was clean as a baby, this therefor gave me the chance to look at myself, and wow, was all I could think of.
This smooth skin, these abs, wow. I immediately ran to the full body mirror in the room and well, my skin was smooth like a baby, I was more beautiful, my muscles were more prominent and hard, my whole body was a work of art.
So, I turned my attention to my interface,
[Race : Human lv3
Description: A type of humans that have evolved from the original species of Homo sapiens and are considered at least 10 times better than the original humans.]
I now understood the concept of 10 times better, in looks, in physical strength, in brain capacity, in evolution , in almost everything.
I was now a superior version of any human out there, this means if the normal humans take millennia to just to evolve, for me, that time is reduced by 10 times, meaning my race needs only centuries not millennia.
And although it might not seem impressive, if humans on earth were like me, right now we would have already evolved to be able to be like cryptonians in real life.
But for the current me, this wasn't enough.
'System, why does my race have a level?'
[Thats because the race human is one of the very few that can evolve into a higher race if it reaches a certain threshold, the system is just helping you to determine the threshold, it will be at level 10]
'Oh, thats convenient, then it means i should reach level 10'
And so since I was going to wait for 2 hours to recover my Xymic energy, why not do something productive in this time, after all the Grim Reaper is hanging on my neck.
And so without waiting a single second, I got up, went to the sitting room and put on the TV.
Yes, I was going to watch good movie, it might after all turn out to be my last one, and so leaning comfortably in my coach, I waited for the movie to start.
..........................
50 minutes Later.
I was watching my movie seriously, it had just gotten to the good parts when I felt that my energy reserves were full again. My first thought was that it was already 2 hours, but then my watch said otherwise.
And this could only mean that my recovery time had reduced to a mere 50 minutes, which was rather impressive.
Looking at my energy reserves however, they had just tripled, from the original 20 units to 60units of energy. I am calling them units because I later discovered that the apartment sized energy clumps are just units.
That is why for every increase, it would increase from my be the size of 1 apartment to 2, meaning that is how big the units of my energy are.
//CREATION of race evolution pill in process......///
//Creation successful...........//
//Description: A divine pill that when consumed evolves the race of the taker to a higher tier without the change in race. The amount of upgrades range from 1 to 10//
A nd this time i went out for atleast 20 minutes, and then I created another and another and another.
Five times, even with the increasing amount of Xymic energy, I had to create evolution items five times for me to reach level 10 of my race, that is how hard it was to evolve ones race.
On the other hand it would be better to just become another race altogether, as it would be more doable than evolving your own race, once more, the materials for ths kind of evolution were impossible to find.
Anyway, at level 10, my energy had increased to more than 1000 units, I was so ecstatic that i almost cried, all this time I was lacking in energy yet the way to increase it has always been in my face.
More interestingly, the recovery time for my energy reserves had drastically decreased to a mere 10 minutes. Yes, now in just 10 minutes, I could create anything, meaning that I now had an almost inexhaustible energy.
Right now, I was preparing to jump from human to the next level of race, to a higher race than humans. Though according to the system, I needed atleast 10,000 units of energy, and yet I only have 10% of the energy needed.
I couldn't just leave it at that, that would be extremely infuriating, so I created ten energy storage orbs, these were like those from cultivation novels where a ridiculous amount of energy would be kept for later use.
And so borrowing this concept, I filled each and every orb with 1000 units after every 10 minutes, and so after 1 and 40 minutes, I had the right amount to start my evolution to a higher being.
//CREATION of an evolution crystal in progress......//
//Creation successful.............//
//Description: A crystal that evolves a race from a lower to a high tier race, the only condition being that ones race should be at the apex of evolution level 10//
And so without hesitation, I crushed the crystal on my chest.
.....................
The moment Watts crushed the crystal to evolve, the whole world experienced a 10 second earth quake, the wind howled out in the whole world, tsunamis suddenly appeared out of no where, many phenomena that shouldn't be happen at some places took place.
Forexample the Sahara desert experienced strong hailstorm, can you imagine a hailstorm in a place that has not seen rain in 50 years.
It was as if the world was excited at the birth of its own son, not only earth, but also the whole universe with billions of galaxies cried out in joy, and only extremely powerful existences heard the cry of the universe.
While this was happening,
