Great, he is the master of all, and my boss, but not the master? This was a lot to take in, so, god is not god, but pretty close and he is the leader of the resistance? Was there anything else? Oh, yes, he is a self-taught AI from video games, though, games usually try to instill the best traits in the main character, so maybe he is the...ow!
I got a poke in the ribs from Grace and I realized we were still just sitting here, long after story time had ended. I got up with them and smiled.
"Sorry, this is a lot to take in, but we have a mission to complete so let's haul ass!"
"Now you're just ripping and raring to go, you are so indecisive! What it would be like to be young again!" Grace said with feigned indignation.
"Get on, or you can slither there my little old sneky lady!"
"How dare you! Take that back! I am the same age as you!" Grace cried out, but I was already transforming.
"I can see it, you seem to like that old lady body." Kierra teased Grace before shifting as well.
Grace looked like she was going to have a nervous breakdown, so I swam close to her so she could easily get on me.
'If you want, later I can tell you what a bad little girl you have been over my knee.'
'Promise?' -Grace.
"You two are nasty, can't you talk dirty like normal people?" Kierra complained.
Grace crawled on me and we finally headed off to the site of the missing shipment. We didn't really know much more than that we were going to retrieve a shipment that didn't make it to its intended location. I was thinking that we should have gone around town and asked the people about what we should expect, but we didn't, Dave-style!
The line ended and I could see a horse-drawn wagon on its side. Why was a...no I refuse to let logic get in my way today, too many things were already stretching it to the max, there was no way something like a wagon in the ocean was gonna throw me off my game! Wait, where are the girls? Oh, man.
The girls were already looking inside the wagon, and there were ten shark men converging on them, but Grace's detection must have set her off, but I was already streaming through the water. Grace blasted green light from her eyes as Kierra shifted into the Mecha whale. Kierra flipped as she transformed, using her tail to hit the ones outside of Grace's petrifying stare into it. I came and smashed them all like a runaway train, blowing them apart.

I was about to cheer, but my body was ripped down by a massive form.
[-450] 783/1233 Health Points remaining.
I was dragged down and smashed into the ground.
[-200] 583/1233 Health Points remaining.
I watched Kierra both tear into the side of the massive thing that was pinning me down.

Finally, after the three of us tore into the massive airliner sized shark, it exploded into a massive explosion of black particles.
[Rank F] Achieved!
Ha!
"Dave! Are you okay?" Kierra asked as she rushed over, shifting back to a girl as she came.
"Yes! Friggin shark, did you see the size of that thing? I have a new view on how a worm feels like as bait!"
"It looked like you got hit by a brick, that was a stupid shark. That has been a going thing lately though hasn't it?" Grace said floating over to me.
She wasn't wrong, I waved her off and the girls went to go check the wagon while I made my evolution choice.
//8TH EVOLUTION CHOICE
I just ignored the first three, I wasn't going to pick, the System had me trained now to just expect the greatest things from it.
[Or You Could Pick That](Passive) Skill Activated!
{Leviathan}
See? Good System! I picked the choice and grew three times my normal size, towering over the top of the girls, who were now staring up at me. There were two flashes and Kierra was a bigger killer whale, but Grace had a weird change. She now had two sea horses and a palanquin for her to sit on, but her body hadn't changed at all, of course.
"Did you two find anything in there?"
"Yes, a package that is in my inventory." Grace explained as she relaxed on her new ride.
"Good, let's all shift back and I will teleport us back."
"Teleport?"
"You can't tell me this was the one time you weren't listening?"
"Do you mean I just wasted my choice?"
"No, If the System puts it as a choice, there will be a reason, so don't worry too much about it. I think it is a good idea for you to be able to move around, I can only teleport us back to town or marked locations. There will be a time where we will need to split up so you having that is a good thing, maybe not what I would call practical, but I am sure it has machine guns or something crazy, right?"
Grace just gave me a funny smile and stuck her tongue out at me. Yeah, it had something, but now it was time to go collect the spoils! I looked at both girls, they were ready to go, looking cute.
'Okay Mom, show me the new skill! Beam me up, Tequila!'
