I know that the light didn't hurt my eyes, but I still felt like I was going to go blind. The ridiculous number of status and level update windows I had closed were making me want to poke my eyes out.

The problem was that the damn screen probably would still be there. Even if I closed my eyes, I could stop them, but Hilda showed me how to shrink the window down, and the rest came up small.

Hilda also told me to stop trying to close them one at a time and just wait until I had a bunch. I could just close them all at once, and I was thankful for the help.

I had got Hilda to bring up a status window so I could keep track of where everyone was going. When I hit level eight, I got a new skill that was great and exactly what I needed, but I was sure that I had blinded everyone present.

[Skill Acquired]:(Passive)

The entire area burst with light as every remaining person radiated from evolution, and then the wave started. Like an unstoppable wave, the status windows poured in like an old computer crashing.

I could do nothing, but then Hilda pulled up a new window for the Gene pool. It covered over the spamming status updated from everyone to my relief, and now, I could see what just happened.

My lower hands tapped their fingers together with pleasure as I looked at the totals on my subjects. I wasn't going to start acting all high and mighty, but I had to admit to myself that it was pretty cool.

Before, I barely had control over my own life, and I lived each day like it was just trying to get to the next one, but it was different now. I didn't want today to end, and I could wait for tomorrow to come.

The next thing I did while everyone was checking themselves out, I wanted to do the same. Messia and Miasma were walking through the crowds and answering questions, while all the people chose as guards formed with Leah, Riza, and the Boys.

"Hilda, can I access my status window now?" I asked her as she Buzzed in front of me.

"Yes, I will pull it up for you now. You have reached level twenty; congratulations, you have done very well. Now all experience that you gain will be distributed to you subjects until you evolve," Hilda explained as she pulled up my status window.

"HA! I HAVE MAGIC!" I shouted with triumph, and everyone around me cheered with joy.

I was actually secretly crying inside. Are you fucking kidding me? Animate Plant? Plantspeak? What the fuck is, are the flowers going to say to me?

Unbee-lievable, this system was pollen a fast one on me, but not all was worth crying over, and some of it was pretty cool. It seemed that my powers circulated around getting me more followers, man or beast, and now I could make the shaggy goth horse my pet.

There was one more person left that was slowly walking up to me with her head down and tail between her legs like she had done something wrong. Joni was the only person that hadn't evolved, but she was so fucking cute like this that I almost wanted to let her wallow a bit more.

[System] Activated!

[Hive Points Available] 30.

{Would you like to use this point} Yes/No?

Holy shit, yes. Wow, I had seemed to rack up the points during this event. I had been earning more as I leveled, and I had gotten extras at certain levels, so it made sense.

{Select a target}

Joni.

[Subject: Joni]: Class option:

{Knight} Or {Rogue}

I preferred to keep her as a knight, and that way, she could train with Riza and Leah. We didn't have any Rogue-type class other than the Miku as a Shadow Hunter, but she was specialized and still very new to her class.

I selected the Knight Class and grinned, and the pouting Joni lit up with light. She grew skimpier armor than Riza wore, but her smile when the light cleared was priceless.

And for everything else, there was hard work and perseverance; there was no Mastercard in this world.

Now, where the hell was I going to put all these people?
