Damon's eyes shot open, and he took a sharp breath, before standing up. He felt oddly different, so he immediately ran to the bathroom, where he faced the mirror and gasped in shock.
He had become handsome, not that he wasn't before. But now, he could walk in at an exclusive VIP five star hotel in rags like he owns the place, and no one would bet an eyelash.
Damon noted all the different with a racing heart. His short black hair, had become long, lush and white, his face had become more symmetrical, without a single blemish or imperfection.
He had grown taller, with a chiseled toned body. When he took off his t-shirt, he saw muscles that looked to have been sculpted by the Goddess herself.
His pupils had become slitted, irises blue in colour and his sclera dark. His nails had become claws, and on instinct whenever he wanted to he was able to turn his pale skin, to become rough and scaled.
Damon leaned on the sink, and almost broke the damn thing, as he immediately let it go, and retreated back. Seeing the cracked sink, Damon knew his changes went beyond becoming extraordinarily handsome, he had become stronger.
He recalled events where the protagonist would destroy anything they touched because of their new found strength, so he didn't touch anything. He went back to his room, and sat back gently on his chair, and he managed to seat down with destroying anything.
He exhaled a relieved sigh, and said, "System, show me my status."

"System, what rank are my skills?"
[They are the same level as your Evolved rank, just like any other gifted.]
"What is an evolved ranker, didn't it used to be just ranker?"
[As you know, every gifted follows the ranking of F to Triple S ranking, but when it comes to you, you have an extra edge. You follow triple ranking with each rank, e.g while a normal gifted goes from F rank to E rank, host on the other hand will go from F rank to FFF ranking, then the same thing will happen with E rank, all the way to the triple S ranking. This type of ranking will always make you unmatched with those in the same ranking as you, also you'll have an upper hand dealing with those who have a higher rank than you, making you almost an unparalleled genius.]
Damon nodded, starting to understand his magic system better.
"But why has my Element evolved, but not my Superpower and Freak Mutation?"
[They will evolve, but not just yet, even with a newly reconstructed body, that possesses Dragon traits, you aren't prepared to handle the evolved state of your Sun Summoner superpower, let alone a genetic dragon mutation that goes beyond possessing dragon traits, by becoming a real dragon.]
"Okay, I understand."
[Is there anything else Host?]
"Yes, I have come to a decision on which realm, I will go to," Damon muttered, and with a pained looked, he said, "I have chosen the Oceanic Forgotten Realm."
[I'm curious to know, why you chose this mission, instead of the other one.]
"That's because, the devil is in the detail, you have already told me that I can only choose one option and there's no going back. Then when you gave me a summary of both missions, you said the Mistress Of Pain will escape outside the forgotten worlds and that would cause a collapse in balance across all universes. It was plainly clear which one I had to choose."
[Ding! Congratulations Host for your choice and decisiveness. Your rewards will be accumulated and properly distributed after the completion of the entirety of the mission.]
Damon sighed bitterly, being rewarded for such a cruel decision didn't feel as good and easy the same way those selfish protagonists in many webnovels his read plenty of times, make it seem.
[Ding! Host is about to be transported to another world, in 10 seconds, any last words.]
"Why do you have to say it like that, I'm not dying, right?"
The system never replied Damon, as swirling shadows started to cover Damon from his feet to his head and the next he knew, he felt his entire body being ripped apart from all side, and he lost consciousness before he could even scream.
•••
Damon woke up to the sound of a beautiful song paired well with a hypnotic voice entering his ears. The song made him feel, as if he was back in his mother's embrace, cocooned, warm and happy.
His eyes shot opened, and he met the gaze of the most beautiful creature, his ever laid his eyes upon. Those eyes looking down on him masked by a kind smile, hid unfathomable depth of unpleasant experiences that were always faced with a smile, no matter how much they made the heart bleed.
"You're so beautiful," Damon stated, "will you please be my wife?"
The creature's smile almost faltered, but it somehow persisted. Her eyes widened and Damon felt the tremors run throughout her body, as his head was being pillowed by the creature's lap.
For some odd reason the creature started sobbing, but the smile still persisted. Damon didn't like that, he didn't like seeing her cry, Why he felt this, he didn't really know. But the creature's eyes hid a familiar look he always wore ever since he had been bunished.
He also didn't like her persistent smile. Why? because it felt insincere.
"Why are you crying? Is it because I asked you to be my wife?" Damon questioned, with an unfamiliar language that he could somehow speak and understand.
The creature shook her head, and wiped of the tears running down her cheeks. She helped Damon seat upright, and she got up, and walked away.
Damon quickly got up, and followed behind. The girl didn't seem to mind, so Damon didn't say anything because it seemed like the girl wasn't interested in talking.
He looked around, and saw thag he was in some kind of a beach, with the familiar smell of salt and moist in the atmosphere, along with rushing waves of water that could be heard behind them.
Damon didn't believe this was another world, as there wasn't anything to explain that it really was, other than the beautiful creature with an appearance not like that of humans.
That's until he looked up in the sky, expecting to see a cloudless blue sky, but instead he was saw an oceanic sea of constellations in broad delight.
"Yeah... I'm definitely in another world."
