Michael slowly regained his consciousness, finding himself starring up into a familiar black alloyed wall.
He wanted to stand up, but both the nausea and dizziness kept him down. Not allowing his body to move a single bit.
After after an unknown amount of time, he finally managed to atleast sit properly.
Looking at the new body, something seem to have...changed? His feet were in a normal human shape, if you ignore the part about the black hide he now had, replacing all the skin on his body.
It was very similar to the one he had while transforming, only that now, there was no body armour. The silver streaks outlining his mucles were still there though.
His eyes were also now more normal, only now having a dark void inside them, illuminated by the same slit tint of red.
His hair was also, still red. Very rugged, but without any horns sticking out anywhere.
Also, his body was now...smaller? He felt like a child again. A very scary child from the darkest corners of hell.
'What the hell did that guy do?'
"System, if you are there, show me my status."

Michael starred at the screen, both the vertically slit eyes were beginning to shrink. Most likely from the shock he felt deep down.
"Wh..What did Jenkins do?! And who the hell is he?!"
Michael moved his eyes from the screen, now seeing that weird elf silently starring at him from the other side of the room. Hiding behind some sort of glass wall while wearing some stupid cape with a matching crown. Oh, yeah, he also had a copper staff, but it didn't make him look less like a deranged pimp.
"Ah! you are finally awake! Good, it means that I am still a genius after all. Hahahaha!"
What was that guy laughing for? this was serious!
"Hey, don't look at papa Jenkins like that.. Yes, I was calling you a baby."
Michael looked down at his small body covered black hide again. Wanting more than ever to know what he did.
"Wait a sec, I gotta get rid of this glass."
As he willed it, the glass was absorbed into the floor.
"Good! now, I am sure you have questions, seeming as I just played four rounds of chess on your system.."
"Well, I am planning on telling you everything after we are done with our plan, now that you are at the king layer."
Michael stood up. Walking towards the blond elf with his baby sized body. It seemed like it genuinely made him freak out as he backed off.
"Begone Demon! I will explain! Your body and skills risked sending the ENTIRE world against you, so I did what you humans call 'Pressing the randomize button'... You may thank m... HEY! what's that look? I made sure that you kept those absurdly powerful skills like 'Berzerk'!"
Seems like Jenkins was getting a little too scared from seeing Michael come closer, so he spilled something useful.
"NO STOP! IT WAS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! h..hear me out, you remember that dungeon shard you had in your arm? Yeah, it fused with your new body. Now allowing you to send all stuff you find into the treasury. Now, let me check what skills you got."
He lost his fear, remembering that they currently were partners.
He went over and made Michael open his system. Of course, making sure that they did not touch each other
After starring at it for a while, Jenkins seemed to calm himself.
"Looks the skills that barely randomized were your previous 'Absorption' ones. They did change, yes, but now you are more like a beast which can infinitely evolve. No problem by the way."
He was an animal now? A real mutated beast?
"Don't look so sad, Michael. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Remember, animals get stronger each time they evolve. You now basically have infinent potential for growth. Also, those 'genetic' things are new to me. But that 'Physique Theft' is not something which is necessarily worse than what you hadbefore."
His mood brightened a little as he listned to Jenkins's comfortable words. Even if this was a little new, he still had things to do.
"Another thing, remember when you went rampaging in the woods? I absorbed some of the experience through the shard. I'll give you some back now so you can see what kind of evolution you will get."
Jenkins summoned his purple orb in the palm of his delicate hand. It gave of a weak glow and then dissipated again.
After it was gone, he got woken up by the system's notifications.
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
And then came the familiar box up once more.
[Host has reached max level]
[10/10] Max
Do you wish to evolve?] (Y/N)
Very happily, he pressed the (Y) button. Hoping for something better than this demon baby form.
----------
.
[You have 3 different evolution choices!]
.
[hel'dreper demon: A type of human which is known best for their physical strenght and pride. They possess an innate affinity to dark magic, and are extremely talented in mind manipulation.]
.
[Devil Half breed:A sort of human shaped devil. They known for their ferocity and wrath. All who anger them will never be able to rest in peace, as they will rip the soul out of their victims.]
.
[Nehalem Infant: A newborn Half demon/Half human hybrid. It looks no different from a normal human, except for its strikingly red, glowing eyes and sulfur colored hair. They possess an innate connection to fire.]

Well, this was new. He was going to pick one, but Jenkins interrupted him.
"Pick the demon on top. It would make our plan flow smoother."
Not hesitating anymore, he clicked on what Jenkins recommended.
As the screen blurted out, he felt his body change. Slowly, it grew in lenght. Stopping on his previous height at 1.85cm. As for the black hide which previously covered his body, it had turned into a fancy set of clothes. Looking like he wore a sort of smooth leather armour. The feet were naked as they only displayed a normal human foot with some slightly sharper nails.
All his previous red hair had turned black, and his eyes were now a fitting dark gold color. His body was now a little muscular to, making his average facial features somewhat tolerable.
Once more, he noticed that on his display was now [Dark essence:0%] and...
What was this?
[Hel'Bölger Form]
He was planning on trying it out, but Jenkins found out as he watched every move he made. By stopping him, he began to wildly scream and run away
.
"DON'T YOU DARE TURN INTO THAT THING IN MY DUNGEON!!"
"Can't I just try it outside? Why all the.."
"PUT THAT FINGER DOWN THIS INSTANT!"
He didn't want to anger the lord of the dungeon any more, as he had helped him a lot with this. So he lowered his finger again.
he now looked at his level, which was [1/15]. Was it because this demon had low potential?
"Ah, yes, I made it so that your potential is practically inacurate. In my term, it means that your potential number is set to lower than it should be. Releasing you from the part where it's needed to grind levels forever. Thank me by not transforming here."
"Oh, yeah. All the bloodlines you had integrated with have been absorbed into your genetic pool, so as you level up, some may affect your future evolutions. Again, don't transform in here."
Michael listened happily to the new news he had been given. Now, hoping to finally initiate the plan.
He turned towards Jenkins with along with the new clothes he wore. Looking into the amber eyes of the blond haired elf with his own golden ones.
They starred at each other for a while.
"Were you going to tell me something? For your eyes are kinda scary looking with the sharp slit inside the gold."
"Yes, can you tell me about the plan you talked about?"
Jenkins was now starting form a well known smile on his beautiful face. Beginning to explain what he had been doing.
"Yes. Well, our plan is now on the first part, as you have reached the king layer. I have made preperations for you to go somewhere, as we are in need of a specific type of material for the next one..."
Michael smiled back at him, eager to hear what he was going to say.
"Where am I going then, good brother?"
Jenkins pointed in his direction as he said it very loudly.
"You are going to the fifth best magic academy in the entire human kingdom!"
WHAT?! Magic? His smile stiffened, hoping to get more out of the carefree jenkins.
"W..what?"
"YES! You heard right!"
He felt some uncontrollable anger fume out of the bottom of his heart.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'magic academy'??!?! To do what? Learn magic? Get a harem?! No way in hell."
Jenkins closed his eyes while massaging his temple. Wondering when this guy began to get so emotional.
"Listen Michael. You can do what you want about the harem stuff, but thats not why you are going."
He was eagerly waiting for Jenkins to finish, interrupting him a little while trying to calm down.
"Then what are we going to do then?"
Jenkins placed his hand down, opening his eyes alongside the rising smile once more forming on his face. His deep feminine tone reached michaels redend ears.
"We are not going there to learn magic.. "
He paused, making sure Michael looked him in the eyes while he finished.
"We are going there on a Heist!"
