Onboard of the Great Thonessia, at his desk sat an old flugel man reading what he liked to call the 'ancient sacred texts' in his small office room. His face old and wrinkly still had a shiny radiance to it as if it were trying to resist aging itself.
His eyes were bright-red, full of vigour and passion burning with the embers of youth, contrasting heavily to the rest of his elderly body. Plastered onto his back were two large white wings, with a colour so white and pure you would think that he was a divine angel of the Goddess Leriara.
Contrary to his wings appearance however this man was a lecherous old geezer, who enjoyed fantasising about touching boobs and other erotic places. This degenerate of a person was the Great Sage Flugel Ulobras. As of this moment Ulobras' facial muscles were twisted and strained as if they were in agony, it was as clear as day that he was heavily annoyed?
* SLAM! *
"Dammit, why doesn't Erinthia just marry Cluedell for God's sake, where did this stupid crown prince come from. I mean all was going well, then the crown prince falls in a coma and then Erinthia insists on catering for him and falls in love. HE WAS IN A GODDAMN COMA. HOW DID HE WIN HER HEART IN A GODDAMN COMA! AUTHOR IF I FIND YOU...
Just before he was about to finish his passionate threat towards the author of the book, a stoic woman wearing a black frilly maid's costume entered the room.
On her face were a pair of tilted glasses, which she quickly went up to correct. Her hair was an auburn red colour and she had massive knockers, according to the old man's standards.
Before he could finish gazing at her voluptuous titties, she interjected
"Hey pervy sage, what were you doing a few minutes ago I thought I gave you important documents to read and sign"
Sweat beads started to drop down Ulobras' face, how was he going to get out of this one? He definitely didn't want to be on the receiving side of Diane's rage. Most definitely not, her wrath was like the heat of a thousand suns.
"Erm, you see I was just about to start. But, to prepare for the tasks that I need to do diligently I must read the ancient sacred texts. These erm h..help me concentrate and gain enlightenment! Yes, gain enlightenment, how else did you think I became a great sage!", stated Ulobras confidently with his chest puffing out.
๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ช๐ต, ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ง๐ถ๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ช๐ต'๐ด ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ค๐ข๐ด๐ฆ, he thought.
"Sacred texts.... sacred texts... sacred texts! You call this GODDAMN PIECE OF SHIT SACRED TEXTS! DO YOU WANT TO DIE? NO WAIT, I SEE YOU HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN DEATH", Diane shrieked while menacingly glaring at the old man. If looks could kill, then right now everybody on the floating Island Thenossia would be dead.
The fairly young flugel maid, clenched her fists together as veins started bulging out of her arms. Her red eyes began emitting an odd aura as laser particles began gathering near them. Oh no the old man had done it now, even me the author-nim felt like running away at this imposing dominating aura.
Seeing this spectacle, the old man went on his knees. The Great Flugel was a powerful man who didn't fear many. After all he was a great sage. He had reached the summit of magical ranking, why would he need to fear other beings? Well at first that's what he thought as well until he met Diane.
On his knees he started pleading, "Diane... Diane this old man has been foolish, please forgive my inadequacies.
No response.
"I promise I shall not read the ancient texts anymore"
Still no response.
Buckets of sweat were now falling from the flugel elders face, as he was in deep contemplation. If he didn't get this next one right.... he shuddered at the prospects of what would happen next.
"I'll get the king to increase your salary by 300% and no tax for a year", the sage said in a desperate bid for survival.
Finally, the raging tempest storm seemed to calm down. She unclenched her fists. Her laser eyes began to power down and her stoic facial expressions returned.
"I expect the payment by 1pm tomorrow", she stated before clenching her fists again "or else you know what will happen"
"Of course, of course!", the old sage replied wiping sweat from his brow.
"Now get back to work", she stated in a cold emotionless voice.
"Yes ma'am"
For him, the flugel sage, it would always be a mysterious of how this young girl was able to invoke such a sense of fear into him, after all in terms of strength and magical prowess he was stronger. So, what...what made him and others so afraid of this woman? It was one of Elicia's 10 great mysteries.
Before she left the room, she left the sage with one more piece of important information.
"It seems the Grymeros are back on the move, they have been able to find one of the 6 time magicules", she stated with a hint of fear.

For the first time in a whole week the great sage held a serious face. Moving his hand to the bottom of a drawer in his desk he activated some sort of magic.
"From morning to night, you hide like a shadow. Domain partial release"
Opening the bottom drawer of the desk, a subspace could be seen. There in the middle was a red time magicule. Grabbing it the flugel started inspecting it. From now on things would get difficult, he couldn't let them get their grubby paws on it.
From what he remembered there was another magicule in the Eldegar Forest, he might have to send down some flugels to look for it discretely. After all he did not want to breach the treaty that they had signed with Berusia, but this was a matter of utmost importance.
Thinking about that Eldegar Forest he started reminscing. While he was there a few hundred years ago he had met a rather attached caterpillar that followed him everywhere. Due to its consistency and drive he decided to give it a name. What did he call it again?... Ah right Buffrey, it was something like that wasn't it.
"Anyway, I wonder what that caterpillar is doing these days, is it still alive", the old man chuckled.

{Day 8}
The night I came back with the hulk daddy corpse I was too tired to evolve or do anything, however now that I was awake things were different.
"Evolution time let's go"
"Hey system, system are you awake there mate, it's evolution time hurry up!"
[Do not be impatient host, patience is a virtue]
๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฉ ๐บ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฉ, ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ. "Why of course system, I am greatly sorry", I quickly respond.
[You do know that I can read your mind, right?]
What I never knew it could do that. ๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐บ ๐ด๐บ๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ด๐บ๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ณ๐ข๐ป๐บ ๐ด๐บ๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ-๐ฏ๐ช๐ฎ.
[I heard that as well]
Dammit It I did it again, from now on I would have to be much more careful about my own thoughts.
"Well, can we get the evolution out of the way with or what?", I quickly respond trying to change the course of the subject.
[Fine, let's hurry up shall we, I also have better things to do than speak to you]
"Like what", I quietly muttered to myself. Coming to the subject what did system do when it wasn't actively instructing me. I knew for a fact that the system projected itself in my mind, but whether its physical or spiritual body was there I didn't know. It was a great mystery.
Anyway, back to the subject, evolution.
[initialising]

[4 evolution choices found!]

[Giant Speckled Venom Cicada]
[Lesser Elemental Fairy]
[Lower Demonic Blood Cicada]
[Horny Light Spirit]
.
.
.
Wow all these options sound surprisingly cool and decent this time round, unlike last time around! Huh, thinking about the options I got last time made my body shudder.
Well all of them seemed to have their own merit. I probably wouldn't hesitate to pick any of them, well except horny light spirit, that one seemed a bit suspicious.
"System please can you give me a basic evolution description for all of them"
[Always giving me more work]
Hey, was it me or was system going through puberty or something? It was so moody these days.
[Giant Speckled Venom Cicada: Straight linear evolution of the venom cicada. 4 times the size of a normal venom cicada, its venom is three times as deadly. Its speckled skin is used as a warning sign to herd off unwanted predators, it also gains poison affinity.]
<Special Traits>
-Very high affinity with poison, enabling it to use many different poison skills
-Low MP pool and Regeneration
-Quite tanky with high defense due to this it can't fly anymore
-Very Slow
<Future Evolution Potential โ Cannot Evolve Anymore>
"Hmmm, this one is decent not bad. However, I don't like the fact that it's very slow. Right now, my main advantage is my speed and size allowing me to escape out of messy scenarios. Furthermore, it also can't evolve anymore. It's probably like the last stage where you get a massive powerup but can't grow anymore sort of thing. Nope I'm good. Next!"
[Lesser Elemental Fairy: A small fairy that is thought to be nearly extinct. It has one colour of each element on its wings.]
<Special Traits>
-Very high affinity with the basic elements of fire, water, nature and earth allowing for a myriad of skills to be easily learned.
-Extremely high mana pool as well as high MP regeneration
-Strong resistance to the basic elements
-Weak and fragile body so susceptible to physical attacks
-If one wing is broken it won't grow back and elemental affinity for the element will be lost
<Future Evolution Potential โ Average>
"THIS IS LIKE THE MERLIN OF EVOLUTION! High magic potential with large MP pool, I could become an all-powerful wizard with strong attacks. However, its down sides are pretty bad, I can see why its nearly extinct."
"If it encounters a monster with relatively strong magical resistances and strong physicality it's basically down for the count. Furthermore, I don't particularly like that last trait, NEXT!"
[Lower Demonic Blood Cicada: A now extinct cicada race that were known for their strength and brutality, meeting one was said to be a bad omen which would result in the encounters facing an early death. Known well for their blood manipulation techniques as well as their formidable strength and high evolution potential, guilds were sent to subjugate them in the masses.]
<Special Traits>
-Jack of all trades stat wise, not too good at anything but not too bad either
-Can use blood manipulation to regain lost MP as well as HP by leaching blood from the opponent's wounds
-High affinity with the attributes of fire and darkness
-Total combat ability is weakened by 10% when in areas of intense sunlight
<Future Evolution Potential โ Fairly High>
"WHAT THAT SOUNDS AWESOME! Totally my sort of thing both badass and balanced. Also did they say blood manipulation... blood manipulation! Kekekeke."
"Count cicada is coming into town. It's also a jack of all trades but master of none so I don't have any glaring weakness except for that intense sunlight issue, but I'm sure there will be some sort of solution to that. I'll probably choose this one but let me quickly get a look at the last option."
[Horny Light Spirit Maiden: Rare type of light spirit that increases in strength with the more sexual partner it encounters. The more sexual partners the more strength. It must have sex at least once a month otherwise it will die.]
<Special Traits>
-Fertility of the heavens enables it to have a 100% fertility rate meaning that it will always get pregnant after sex.
-HP, MP, strengthโฆ all skills depend on the amount of sex experienced
-Holy being therefore has high affinity with light attribute as well as holy magic
<Future Evolution Potential โ Cannot Evolve Anymore >
"WTAF! This is basically a thot evolution; all it does is have sex. Do I have to say anymore, it's a maiden that survives by having sex!"
"System I have made my decision I choose hor... I mean I choose Lower Demonic Blood Cicada"
"Hopefully I don't get subjugated"
[Granting host's request.... evolving host into a Lower Demonic Blood Cicada....40%....65%...87%...100% operation complete.]
The moment the system finished its convergency, my vision clouded, and my consciousness started to drift.
My stats, my new abilities and any other bonuses I gained, guess I would find them all out when I woke up.
