"Two weeks..."

Those words escaped the lips of a blonde-haired teenager who was seated at the mahogany wood dining table, lightly picking at her breakfast with a blank expression on her face.

"Two weeks..."

Once again, she called out those two words, the amount of time it had been since she and her party had confronted one of their most powerful opponents yet.

From fighting thousands of monsters, to defeating an S-rank Dungeon boss, and then going on to fight a White High Dragon.

Crowning this all, was their encounter with an Epic Level existence, as well as a face-to-face meeting with the strongest demon on the planet.

In the past two weeks, their names and feats had spread across the lands and were still continuing to spread even further.

Each of their names was synonymous with 'Fame', and the influence that the masses' knowledge of their power gave them was even greater than that of beings more powerful than them.

Yet, all this fame, this influence and all the benefits; meant nothing to this girl at this point.

All she wanted right now, was to see the person whom she hadn't spoken with in the past two weeks.

Evan's Evolutionary process took longer than it normally would have, due to the strange nature of his soul which was many, many times stronger than it should be, as well as the fact that the body he was currently inhabiting wasn't originally his.

It had slowly changed over time to integrate bits of his original features, but that fact didn't change.

The Evolution had taken a longer time as the link between his body and soul was being strengthened greatly.

But while all of this was happening, Evan was unconscious inside the cocoon, and after the Evolution finally finished, he was whisked away by 'Aidos' for a 'conversation'.

Naturally, he was unable to be with anyone during this period of time.

'Since we reunited in Geto, this is the longest we've been apart...'

Such a thought passed through Eliza's head as she finished her breakfast and rested her head on the dining table with a heavy sigh.

It was clear as day to anyone, that the girl's mood was sour, and it had only gotten worse by the day.

Even after she had regained consciousness and spoken with her uncle and Grandfather, her dour mood was very evident.

The cause was known, but there was nothing anyone around her could do about it.

The Palace Servants silently cleared up the plates and cups she used for her meal, while some of them tried suggesting desserts or snacks in an attempt to improve her mood.

But the greatest difference was not his extra 2 inches of height, but the reason why he was even airborne in the first place.

Though he was wearing a shirt, they conveniently seemed to phase through the shirt as they stretched out, flapping ever so lightly to keep him afloat.

A single pair of white wings stretching out with a sleek and membrane-like structure, partially adorned with opalescent scales.

"Well, I guess that's another colour added to my colour scheme.

I got black, grey, gold, crimson, rainbow and now white."

He exerted control over the wings and tried to see if he could twist them around while securing his footing with a void step. He succeeded, but he also discovered that his wings seemed to have traces of gold on them.

"So, I can switch colours now."

Evan chuckled as he spoke, dismissing his void step and returning control over his altitude to his newly acquired wings.

After that, the boy clenched his fist tightly, feeling the strength within it as he muttered.

"This is the grandmaster level, huh?"

He didn't need to open his status to know what realm he currently was, the sheer amount of power he felt in his body was enough to tell him.

'As I am now, I'm probably as strong as Finley was when I first came to Aidos...the man has probably reached Epic Level by now.'

Thinking this, he heaved a deep sigh—

"Hahahahaha!!!"

—and then, burst into laughter.

"This is what I've been after all this while!!"

The teenager didn't even know how to describe his current feelings with words.

The current him was without a doubt, the strongest Grandmaster Level existence on the planet, even though he was not Level 500.

However, despite all that power, enough power to completely wipe the city below him off the map about three times over, it felt a bit...

"Meh."

Was it because of Vaeri, whose power he had felt first-hand? The reinforced knowledge that this level of power wasn't going to be enough for him to achieve his goals?

Or it could be those two presences he felt within the Barthmont Palace that made his Danger Sense skill send him a low warning?

Regardless of the reason, Evan put it aside for now and focused on testing out his new strength.

He turned his gaze to the side and activated Farsight, zooming over to one of the forests on the Northern outskirts of Goras.

It was one of the major areas where the capital's adventurers made their living, as it was a zone with high energy concentrations and had heavens knows how many thousands of monsters lurking within.

Evan locked onto one of the monsters within his field of vision and then created a void step which used as a boost to launch himself in that direction.

**WHOOSH!! **BOOOMMM!!!

One sonic boom later, Evan found himself drenched in blood and guts from head to toe as he stood in the severed torso of an unfortunate giant grizzly.
