Chapter 125 New Existence: Chaos Devourer Halfling
"What is that???" Zeras asked stunned looking at the image in the mirror as his eyes dilated in shock.
He slowly stood back up from where he crashed into as he inched closer towards the mirror.
In the mirror, a figure could be seen, completely white hair that covered the top part of his face with a face so white it looked like it was even a little pale. The face was perfectly chiseled, the true meaning of a diamond-shaped face.
The figure would be almost indistinguishable from that of a female on the first encounter and Zeras was genuinely shocked a man could even be that handsome.
But what gave him the real chills was his eyes. His left eye in particular, it wasn't his.
The left eye of the image contained no pupils at all and was just an empty black hole that seemed to be slowly revolving deep within it.
Looking dead straight at those eyes, Zera's mouth dropped as he saw they could only be described as one word.
Cold. Extremely Ice cold with not a single ripple of emotion or life at all, and even just looking at it gave him the illusion of staring at a soul reaper.
"Is that my eyes???" Zeras asked confused. It was like his eyes were replaced with another person's and he was pretty sure it wasn't his.
[Of course, it is. Your Evolution was successful and you ended up awakening your left eye first. But that isn't the only benefit you gained from this evolution. Why don't you try calling out the interface?]
"And what happened to you system, you sound strange]
[You think so? Well, you're finally past Level 10, after thousands of eons, and the restrictions placed on me have been reduced a little. Now I can pop up anytime and feel free to easily chat with you like a best buddy. You have good luck, Zeras]
"Tch, System Interface..."

"Strange, system how long have I been out?" Zeras asked raising an eyebrow.
[The Evolution took a total of five days]
"What the? That's really long. I already missed Interdimensional combat class twice and the Cadets Rankings battle will be beginning tomorrow too. This is really fucked up." Zeras muttered as he hurriedly got in his uniform.
Immediately heading out of the exit, he suddenly stopped as he headed back to the bathroom and his mirror. He knew he couldn't go out like this or people would get suspicious of him not coming out for five days and suddenly growing white hair.
"Activate Absolute Morph..."
Zeras immediately changed back his hair color to its normal black and tried changing his left eye to its normal Blue color but he was shocked when he saw it didn't work at all.
"System, why can't I change my left eye color?"
[You can't!!]
Zeras noticed the voice of the system suddenly getting more stern.
"I know, but why?"
[The Eyes of Chaos is a Supreme racial ability that billions of races in the Cosmos will fight to the death just to possess but you want to conceal it for the sake of not appearing strange to some group of weaklings, are you stupid, or what???] The system asked its voice like that of an old professor lecturing his 70-year-old most hated student.
"Oh, I didn't think of it like that..."
[Zeras!!] The system suddenly called out.
"Yes??"
[I think it's time we get some things straight.] The system suddenly said as Zera's eyes narrowed in confusion.
"What do you mean??" [Firstly, you're no longer a human at least not a complete true human. You're now a Chaos Devourer halfling. You're like a slave-turned-king. It's time you stop behaving like a slave and start acting like what you are...]
"Oh, what do you mean?" Zeras said with a chuckle as he headed towards the exit.
[I mean is time you create a distance between you and weaklings. It's time to sever friendly bonds and focus on getting stronger. You should be checking out your new abilities and thinking of ways to grow stronger quickly and not going to some stupid cafeteria to talk nonsense.
It's time you begin to grow, you're no longer a kid.]
Zera's hand holding the knob suddenly paused as his body stood rigged on the ground in shock.
This was the first time he ever heard of something like that from the system. It had never sounded this stern or serious before.
"What makes you think I've been a kid all this while system?" Zeras asked in a whisper.
[Many things show you've been a kid. Like your current level, you're supposed to be far above this level but you're here.
During the mission, you never made a single decision that was yours and let others command you around. You almost died and needed to be saved. You placed your life and death in the hands of others.
Those EIA officers who punished you could have decided to kill you and no one would be any wiser.
You respect the decision of that Amazonian kid and trust her. You have to know you would have been dead right now had she let out your secret.
She could have killed you when you were on that sick bed in the EIA base.
Do you know why she didn't, because she's nice?
No!!
Because she felt you're not worth it, she told you to keep your secret because it doesn't matter, but to be honest, she meant you don't matter.]
