《Path of Damnation》Day 11: Blessed Evolution
Advertisement
Day 11:
I slowly opened my eyes only to be hit with perpetual darkness.
Yet I could see.
In a better sense of describing my current state, I had no vision yet I could sense my entire surrounding like it was natural.
I couldn’t understand, causing my mind to race before I remembered that last night I had evolved.
I felt my body with my new arms and I must say, that I was quite eerie.
Or I thought so at least.
Not one part of my body was connected with the rest.
My Shoulder was separated from my chest with a small gap between it.
When I tried forcing my shoulder and chest to connect they kept repelling each other.
What was I? A Magnet?
Nonetheless, after experimenting with my body, I found out that this current form of mine which I will call Elemental for now, had not a single connecting piece and was completely smooth all around.
I gave up trying to learn more about this body for now and decided to check up on the rest of my senses and abilities.
I looked, or sensed, towards Kaisers direction and saw him sleeping with a little Ayanna cuddling him.
How cute, but now was not the time to think of Ayanna’s infinite cuteness.
I had changed and most likely unlocked new abilities, but I had no way of knowing what new skills I had unlocked.
I knew what most of my skills were by memory.
Now I had to figure out a way to find out what skills I possessed.
But I didn’t have to guess long as my face was barraged with words.
Lots of annoying little informative words.
[Evolution: ??? > [Influence: EARTH] Earthling]
[Evolved Earth – Basic > Beginner]
[Earthling: War]
[Earthling: Elemental Construct]
[Earthling: Damned
-> Damned ???
-> Damned ???]
MC: “Wha-“ before I could even finish saying the word ‘what’ I was barraged with more abilities.
[Language: Hobbit, Orcish [+] Elven, Runic, Common]
[One with Nature - MAX]
[Damnation - 0]
I stood there speechless.
Well I was only speechless for a short time as I soon regained my composure and went around figuring out my skills.
Language of course meant that I could now understand those languages, why I could, I would find out later but on that note how did I learn Orcish?
Anyways, One with Nature, like the skill implied meant I either had resistance against nature based attacks, or that I was stronger in Nature based activities.
I would find out later, as of the moment I had no nature based skills.
Damnation puzzled me.
I have unlocked several skills to date with the word.
And what did it mean by 0?
I ignored this as I had no way of understanding this skill at the moment.
Now back to my race.
Earthling.
I came to the conclusion that the three skills called [Earthling: Etc] were forms that I could assume.
I also came to the conclusion that I was currently [Earthling: Elemental Construct] because of my current body.
It just didn’t seem like it fit the word ‘war’ or ‘Damned’.
But I wanted to find out more about these three forms.
I learned that if I concentrated on a skill enough I could use it, such as [Hide Presence], which became easier to use the more I used it.
So I concentrated on the skill [Earthling: War] but I just couldn’t imagine a form fitting it.

I spent over half an hour trying to imagine a perfect shape for something that fit the word war.
But I couldn't do it.
So I did what anyone in my situation would do.
Ignore it until I figure out how to use it.
I instead concentrated on the skill [Earthling: Damned] but I had no idea what the two ???’s meant.
They just confused me.
What was I supposed to imagine.
Well I wished I had my previous body back.
My tiny dark hobbit body.
It may have been ugly, but I could see properly.
Sure I could see now, but it felt uncomfortable. I just felt weird.
And then something incredible happened, my body began dissolving.
Yes dissolving into a dark smoke.
I felt myself slowly disappearing and I must say it was terrifying.
If my face hadn’t dissolved I probably would have screamed, but then again, I had no organs to scream with on my face anyways.
As I felt myself die, I also felt myself once again.
I felt my old senses return.
My sight returned to me and I was blinded by the blazing sun.
I moved my obsidian arms to cover my eyes and then I realized I had obsidian skin.
Almost instantly I had been dissolved, although painful, before once again instantly being recreated, again painful.
[Earthling: Damned
-> Damned Tribal
???]
WHAM, I was introduced to a pop up.
A pop up that appeared to be a blessing.
MC: “YAAASSS!” I screamed, far louder than I should have.
Kaiser had opened his eyes and was in a full alert mode.
He had already gently deposited Ayanna on the ground and was next to me in an instant.
Kaiser: “What is wrong my god?” he asked, his eyes darted left and right as he surveyed our surrounding.
I simply smiled and looked at him.
MC: “Kaiser tell me, what exactly do I look like?” I said this as I stretched out my hand and twirled around.
Kaiser instead appeared surprised by my sudden question.
Kaiser: “My lord you look exactly the same as before, why? Did something happen while I was asleep?” his voice became a low growl as he looked for something.
Most likely whatever he thought had harmed me, I wonder what he thought it was? Nonetheless I shouldn’t worry him.
MC: “Kaiser, I evolved yesterday and gained a fantastic ability” I was grinning broadly as I said this before moving myself slightly away from Kaiser. “Now Kaiser, watch this and tell me what I look like” and I began thinking about [Earthling: Damned] again.
I knew what I was going to use my other ??? for.
And I thought about my new form and then I began dissolving again.
It was painful, incredibly so. If I could have face palmed at the time then I would have done so.
But unfortunately my arms had already dissolved.
While I melted in pain, Kaiser appeared mortified.
He was looking for some way of helping me, and unfortunately he didn’t find one as I had simply become smoke.
But then I began reforming into the beautiful shape I dreamed of.
Or at least I thought I did.
My torso formed first followed by my head and then my arms. It was then followed by my hip area and legs.
My facial features formed next, first my eyes, then my mouth, nose and ears.

Then my skin began forming, but it wasn’t the obsidian I was used to, it was a nice tan colour.
My hair came after my skin.
After a few more minutes of excruciatingly painful recreation, my new body was finished.
I wondered why this form took so long to create while becoming my Dark Hobbit self was almost instant.
Maybe it was because my brain already knew what the body was like, but then it should have known about this body as well.
Well maybe not entirely.
[Earthling: Damned
-> Damned Tribal
-> Damned Human]
And I smiled, I had done it.
I looked towards Kaiser and smiled.
I lifted my body up, but I wasn’t used to this body as I began to wobble while standing before I fell down.
I simply laughed in delight.
I was human, or at least looked human once again.
Kaiser seemingly over his shock came flying towards my location and immediately picked me up off of the ground.
Kaiser: “My god, are you okay?” he asked. He didn’t even seem to care that I was now human. What a loyal man.
MC: “I am fine Kaiser, but why aren’t you shocked about my current form?” I asked, curious.
Kaiser simply smiled at me.
Kaiser: “Because I knew you were bound to evolve past your base body my god” he said grinning “And I was right. But why a human?” he asked back to me.
I was who was still brimming with happiness answered him.
MC: “Because firstly I wanted to look human and secondly, it’s not my final form” my answered seem to confuse him.
Kaiser: “Not your final form? What do you mean?” he asked me in a slightly bewildered tone. I wonder why he was so confused.
MC: “Well, it’s one of my four forms, but I can only seem to access 3 at the moment, the fourth one I just don’t understand” I answered him which put him in a thinking mood.
Kaiser thought for a long time, while I napped in his arms as I thought about my abilities and forms.
Maybe having more than one form after evolving was unique, I thought to myself.
Then I had the sudden thought to go check out what I looked like as a human.
I aimed for a handsome face, but I don’t trust the god of this world.
MC: “Kaiser, would you mind putting me down, I want to see what my human self looks like” I asked him and he simply looked back at me and blinked before realizing he was still holding me.
Kaiser: “Of course my god, my apologies for detaining you. I was just lost in my thought of the uniqueness of you my god” he stated.
I smiled as he praised me, or at least I assume he praised me. I will just stick to thinking it was praise.
MC: “It’s no problem Kaiser” I replied back to him, before suddenly remembering that today I was supposed to go and collect the humans from Black Tooth. I looked at Kaiser “Kaiser, sorry to bring this up suddenly but could you go to Black Tooth’s camp and free the humans he brought in today. He promised to give them to me so that I wouldn’t harm him. I still plan on killing him afterwards anyways” once I had finished saying this, Kaiser’s face became grim looking and I suddenly realized why. “No, No Kaiser not like that. I mean, could you please go and bring them here. Alive” I corrected myself.
Kaiser’s face lit up in relief and he simply nodded.
Kaiser: “Of course my god, I will leave soon. By myself I could be there and back before the end of an hour, but with more accompanying me” he paused and looked towards Ayanna “It will take me hours, since I have to ensure we are not being followed either” I simply looked at him and blinked not understanding where he was going with this. He looked towards me and sighed “My god I will be gone until tomorrow evening at latest, meaning I have to leave you and Ayanna alone” and then my brain lit up in understanding.
MC: “Don’t worry Kaiser, nothing will happen. I can fight off most of the beasts in this forest and if needed I can hide us both extremely well, so don’t worry” I smiled towards him and he nodded to me “well there is a small pond barely a hundred metres in that direction” I gestured with my hand facing east “So just wait a few minutes for me to go there and back and then I will spend the entire time with Ayanna” and then I walked in the direction of the pond anticipating my appearance.
I neared the pond and with each step nearing the pond, my heart grew darker and darker as I imagined horrifying appearances.
Appearances that were very bad. Bad enough to be called a monster and burned alive.
I stopped just before I could see my reflection in the pond before gathering my courage and walking forward.
What I saw was shocking.
Incredibly so.
There stood a 5’10” Human male with deep black eyes. Long beautiful black hair that flowed to his hips and appeared slightly messy.
With a slightly effeminate face, not so much that he would be mistaken as a girl but just enough to make him more attractive.
A perfectly chiselled body, like that of a Greek god with a decent manhood.
He looked to be about sixteen years old with a mature and wise look accompanying his effeminate face.
I smiled.
No, not smiled.
I broke into laughter.
I had created a perfect body.
A perfect human body. I was dying with happiness as I hugged myself in joy.
After several minutes of admiring myself, I smiled at my reflection one last time before heading back to Kaiser.
Once I reached the camp, Kaiser was dressed and ready to leave.
There were some clothes lying in front of him as he waited to leave.
These were my clothes which appeared to be slightly longer.
I equipped the long ragged pants, before equipping the wolf cloak.
Kaiser nodded towards me and moved to leave.
As he began to leave my vision I said “Good Luck”.
I don’t know whether he heard me or not, but I wished him the best luck.
Just as I had been lucky today, I wished for him to have the same luck.
I moved towards Ayanna and I gently lifted her and put her on top of me and covered her and myself with the wolf cloak.
Now I waited for Kaiser to return.

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)

Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself. Together, Evan and Lily discover why learning how to fail may be their generation's greatest lesson. Cover art by Gerry Siorek
