Chapter 127 Evolved

[Congratulations on evolving into a (Hybrid)]

[Continue to collect source material for further evolution]

'Hybrid...?' He was about to ask Dreifus about what the system had said but before he could he noticed the look of concern and confusion on Nilas face.

"I'm sorry, Nila, but I can't explain what's going on, at least not right now. To be honest I don't know too much about it either but it's not something you need to be concerned about. Everything is fine, I promise I'll explain another time." Leo explained.

" Does it have something to do with your ability?"

" Yes."

Nila was silent for a moment before she stood up and took a few steps towards the door "Are you sure everything is alright, you don't need help or anything?"

"Its alright... but thanks for being concerned. I'll clean up this mess and..."

"Dont worry about that. I'll send some of the cleaners to take care of it. There's a bath in the room next to this one, you can get yourself cleaned up in there." After saying that she left the room.

Leo looked down and noticed how disgusting he looked right now. His body was covered in blood and the golden/black liquid that had come out of his eyes, mouth and ears.

Leo got up and went to the next room. Took off his ruined clothes and climbed into the bath.

One of the first things he noticed was that his hair was much shorter than before. His hair that was once shoulder length was now quite short, not even reaching his ears on the sides.

'I was planning on cutting it any ways...' Leo thought as he washed himself.

'I wanted to say this bath feels smaller but now that I don't have so much...stuff all over me, I can see that I'm bigger than before.'

'I think I'm slightly taller now but my muscle growth is more noticeable. I look like someone who's done physical training for years.' Leo couldn't help but admire his improved muscles.

He took a quick bath to wash off all the blood and whatever else was all over him and then he took a longer bath immediately after to relax.

'Alright, let's take a look at the system.'

The messages appeared all at once when Leo opened up the system, he barely had time to read each one before a sudden pain appeared inside his head and the knowledge the system promised was placed inside his mind.

Previously he had been granted the basic information needed to use his ability, such as the existence of particles and what kinetic energy was.

This time he received more detailed information regarding his ability and how it effects things in different ways.

'Dreifus...this is...there's so much more to this ability than I thought!' After recovering from the headache he received along with the information, Leo couldn't help but get excited.

'...'

'Dreifus?'

'Hmm? Oh, yeah...sorry it...it seems that when you were granted some knowledge I was able to recover some of my memories.' Dreifus had a very sad and confused tone of voice as he replied.

'What did you remember?'

'My death...kind of. I remember standing in a lab of some kind and then a man with pointy ears came in and we were speaking about something. He got angry and I started to feel weak...thats when I died.' Dreifus explained.

'It sounds to me like you were killed by the guy with pointy ears. Do you remember what you were fighting about?'

'No. I don't remember it very clearly but It's mostly just brief flashes of moments. What would lead somebody to kill me? I can't imagine I did something to deserve that...' Dreifus sounded confused and frustrated.

'You don't seem like that kind of person and there's plenty of possible reasons someone might have killed you so I don't think you should think about it too hard right now. There's a good chance you'll recover more memories and it will all become clearer.'

'That's true. Well, it's not like I have any choice in the matter anyways so waiting is all I can do. Maybe some day I'll remember something that will explain why I'm stuck inside this system...'

Leo decided to look through the system and look at all the changes that had been applied. The messages had bombarded him and then a bunch of information was suddenly shoved into his head, so he didn't really have a chance to see all the messages.

'My stats have all doubled and my Energy is way higher than before.' Leo was stunned at the sudden improvement he had undergone overnight.

That's when he noticed something. Whenever there were 'Unassigned Stat points' there would always be an arrow next to each of the stats. This allowed Leo to tap on the arrow and increase his stats.

What shocked him was that an arrow now appeared next to his Energy as well, allowing him to increase it. The same was true for the new Health stat.

Pressing the arrow next to his Energy, the Energy stat rose by 10 points as his Unassigned stat points decreased by 1, the same happened with the Health stat.

'I'll die when my Health stat hits 0 right?' Leo asked, more to himself than anything.

'Probably.' Dreifus answered with a 'shrug'.

Energy (60/310)

Health (110/110)

'Ill keep the other point until I see how fast my Health goes down in combat.' Leo thought as he proceeded to open his skills.

'My skills have been organized into different categories and all of them went up in level.' Leo once again felt good about his increase in strength. There was one thing that he was especially curious about regarding his skills.

(Authority)

- The amount of control the user is able to exert over kinetic energy from a distance.

[This skill has recently been created through the evolution of the skill (Energy Control) and has similar features. The current capabilities have been expanded to objects both through physical contact and without.]

'So the Energy Control skill evolved into this one. It says I can affect objects now...I'll have to try this out later when I get the chance.'

Leo continued to look through his skill descriptions and for the most part they each just got some improvements in effeciency or power. The only skill that had something new added to it was Regeneration.

(Regeneration)

Passive - Heal 4 Health every 10 seconds

Active - Heal 5 Health every second for 30 seconds (10 Energy)

'It's basically been split into two different skills. If it heals my Hwalth that quickly then why does it take me so long to heal my wounds? With this speed, it should only take me a few minutes to reach maximum Health at most, no matter the injury, so why have my injuries not been healing that quickly?' Leo was very confused by the skill description now that it involved the Health stat.

'The Health stat might represent how close you are to dying rather than how injured you are. Remember that when you are injured in a fight, your bones, muscles and organs all get damaged. Regeneration most likely focuses on healing those things and only switches to the surface level injuries after.'

'So when your Health hits 0 then it probably means your organs and such are unable to function anymore and you die.'

'It's actually a really good thing that Regeneration works this way. If you're fighting someone, to them your body will continue to get damaged, but in reality you're healing what's needed to stay alive constantly. Your condition will never actually be known to your enemies, giving you the upper hand.' Dreifus explained excitedly.

' It's going to freak people out when I'm able to recover from almost any injury in less than an hour though...'

' Meh, who cares, they'll all just assume you can heal faster than them and end it with that.' Dreifus said with a 'shrug'.

Continuing on, Leo went to look at the next part of his system, something that had been inside the system since he had received it.
