[Evolution Options]

[High Crimson Vampire Dragon Chimera]

[Insatiable Vampire Dragon King]

[Freezing Blood Dragon]

…

In front of Chaos, there were three new evolution options! He decided to quickly inspect their information to see what they had in store.

…

[High Crimson Vampire Dragon Chimera]

A higher version than the Vampire Dragon Chimera. It enhances all capabilities related to Vampire and Dragons while giving out two random Abilities from both Skill Trees. You become a higher species of your unique race, gaining the "Crimson" name due to the color of your scales and eyes.

…

[Insatiable Vampire Dragon King]

A higher version than the Vampire Dragon Chimera. You've been cataloged as a King of your species and your desire to devour everything has given you the name of Insatiable. Enhances all capabilities related to Vampire and Dragons while giving out two random Abilities from both Skill Trees. It also enhances your ability to devour all sorts of things and again more power from them.

…

[Freezing Blood Dragon]

A Vampire Dragon Chimera took the power of ice and fused with it, being capable of absorbing cold and ice and fusing them with its blood, generating all sorts of deadly attacks using frozen blood and more. Unlock two random abilities from the Blood Dragon and Ice Dragon Skill Trees.

…

Three wondrous evolution options.

After Chaos glanced at all three of them, he couldn't help but feel conflicted, all three of them looked great!

There was an upgrade to his High species, alongside a new variant named Insatiable King, and the other fused the power of ice into a blood dragon.

"I suppose the third option can be scratched… If I evolve into a Blood Dragon, I will lose all of what makes my race special…" thought Chaos.

Now that he scratched the third option, there were two other options… However, Chaos felt the desire to not take the direct route this time and finally take upon a variant, the Insatiable King one!

This evolution was also interesting as it no longer was qualified as a Chimera, only a Vampire Dragon King!

Wasn't that way better? It didn't mean he was a Chimera anymore, he was a true Vampire Dragon, recognized as its own race.

Chaos nodded in understanding of this possibility, as he decided to pick the second evolution option after some little pondering.

Ding!

[You choose the [Insatiable Vampire Dragon King] Evolution Option!]

FLASH!

The moment Chaos choose this evolution, a cocoon made of blood coated his entire body as it began to crystalize, his body underwent great changes as he felt his muscles strengthening and his blood pumping through his body at a fast pace.

However, he couldn't resist the urge to fall unconscious as his brain began to dissolve and regenerate back, at the end, he ended going to sleep…

…

And within his dreams, he woke up once more in a familiar place.

This was the same place that he had once gone to, which was filled with stars, planets, galaxies, and more.

He felt lost.

Why was he here again?

Was this just a normal dream?

Chaos began to wander through this landscape of wondrous cosmic sights, as he reached a strange place, it resembled a giant spiraling galaxy that continued to twist chaotically, it showed dark colors that continuously merged together, making it quite the bizarre sight.

"What is this place?" he wondered, walking towards the spiraling dark galaxy as something spoke to him. No… it whispered to his ears. The voice of a soothing woman, with a motherly attitude.

"My child…"

"Hm?"

"My child… You're here once more…"

Chaos glanced at the gigantic spiraling black galaxy, so enormous he could barely fathom its entire size from very far away.

"Who are you? Why are you calling me your child?" asked Chaos.

"Because you are…" she said.

"I am…? Are you Lesithea?" asked Chaos.

"Lesithea…? No…" she said.

"Then I don't have any other mother," said Chaos.

"Wait… Please… don't be like that…" she sighed.

"Are you that spiraling black galaxy? What kind of entity are you?" asked Chaos.

"I am… Well. You can call me Cha- Oh, you're named like that, aren't you? I guess you could call me Khaos then," said the entity.

"Your name is the same as mine?" asked Chaos.

"It seems to be the case… I have been calling you because I needed to see if you were fine… I… I wanted to speak with you…" she muttered.

"How can you be my mother?" asked Chaos.

"Your soul… it was once part of me… Well, you are still part of me… My beautiful son… You are a fragment of my child, therefore, you are my child too…" said Khaos.

"A fragment? I am a fragment of another entity?" asked Chaos, feeling bewildered.

"I… Yes," sighed Khaos.

"What does this means? And why would that matter?" asked Chaos.

"Well… It means a lot… I am too weakened now… Your sister is within another world, so I suppose both of you cannot meet yet…" sighed Khaos.

"Sister?" wondered Chaos.

"Ah… It seems that you're soon to wake up… I will send you more of your allies, from the world where you first landed… They all desire to be at your side…" she said.

"Allies? You mean… like Abyss?" asked Chaos.

"More or less… it is the only thing I can do for now… For now…  My child… take care of yourself…" she sighed.

"…"

"I love you…"

Chaos suddenly opened his eyes as he glanced at the ceiling, several system windows popping in front of his sight.

[You have evolved into a [Insatiable Vampire Dragon King]!]

[All your stats had increased!]

[The Levels of several Abilities have increased!]

[You learned the [Gluttony: Level 1] and [Vampiric Eyes of Distortion: Level 1] Abilities!]

Two new Abilities! Chaos gained two new and interesting Abilities, but… he wasn't thinking about them now.

After what he experienced in that dream… He only felt conflicted.

What was that all about?

Why did this entity be so fixated on calling him a child?

And was his true origin… just a fragment of someone else?
