《Empress' Evolution》77. Evolution

Two days before moving.
Extermination Rank is the same as Dungeon Rankings. The higher it was, the more dangerous it was, and the faster it should be taken care of immediately.
Lilith was an underground boss that captured Sector after Sector in a Stronghold, almost taking it over in the process.
Extermination Rankings start from D and would go up, and the higher it was, the more attention one would get from the Hunter's Association. As Lilith raised her head to look at the proud expression of her daemons, she was very relieved that she already planted a plan B.
"Sigh, I can understand your pains, but from now on, we're going to stop killing humans, or else the human associations will come and hunt us down."
"Ha! No worries, I can take them all down!" Chief laughed as he stared at Lilith with a smug look on his face.
This caused Lilith to have a headache even further, "That's not it, Chief. The ones you just met are weaklings compared to the real experts. You're LVL 199 now after killing some humans last night, but those guys were mere weaklings. The real deal is the A rankers and beyond…my mother told me that."
Lilith had to add the last line to ensure Dhampy would not look at her funny. Lilith was a daemon; she can't be in possession of human information without any plausible reason, else that's just stupid. Anyone could ask her how her supposed mother gathered the knowledge, and Lilith would just say she doesn't know and play the part of the lonely orphan.
Chief had a strange look on his face as confusion settled in. Lilith could only explain the situation to them as she could not just send them a letter detailing the things they wish to learn.

'Dammit, I'll teach them how to read later. They speak the Cosmic Language, so they should also be able to learn reading them sooner or later.'
Cosmic Language was the start of all words and the language ingrained in the systems. Of course, the system conforms to the language depending on the user, but most daemons know the Cosmic Language.
"Chief, listen. No, not just Chief, everyone listen to me. According to my Mother, the Extermination Rank is extremely important because the highest-ranking Hunter will appear depending on the rank.
"She once said that she was designated an A+ Extermination Rank and three hundred humans appeared ten of which were at LVL 351 and above."
"351!?" other than Dhampy, everyone else was surprised.
"Yes, that's correct, 351. Good, you guys are paying attention."
The daemons were surprised, and they were naturally so. The level cap for Epic Tiers was 250, and those who step on the Legendary Realm were 251 and above. Meaning those humans were comparable to a Legendary Tier.
"Do you get it now? Humans are dangerous when we touch them; it is like poking a beehive, kill one, and an entire army will come rolling to our side. I would like to actually become a LVL 250 Legendary Tier daemons, but even that is hard.
"I still lack the ability to help Chief or any of the Epic Tier reach Legendary Tier, so we must be cautious of who we kill. We can let loose upon this world if three or five of us reaches Legendary Tier, do you all understand?"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed; even Dhampy nodded her head at Lilith's words. Humans were dangerous; they were the dominating race, after all.
But a Legendary Tier was also dangerous. The one she fought was a LVL 1230 Vampire Lord. Though she slew it, the ramification caused her to become who she currently was.

'Legendary Tiers are almost impossible to hunt. They do not have a level cap, so their growth rate is impossible to know. It is tough to deal with them.' Dhampy's memories flooded her mind.
Seeing all of them agree to her words, Lilith felt somewhat satisfied that they were at least willing to change.
"That is good then; with that said, everyone, prepare to move. We're leaving this place; the humans will arrive here in two days, so we better scram as soon as we can. Take care of the wounded and then feed the weak. The Meat Cores will be packed away so we can take it with us for provisions."
Sylva and Dhampy were just about to follow her orders when Lilith stopped them.
"Both of you stay, it is currently still early in the morning, but I want you guys to pick what kind of evolution branch you will take. It is about time the two of you evolve to your new forms."
Their faces beamed from excitement. Though Dhampy's expression was not exactly that 'flattering' to see as she rarely shows a semblance to someone celebrating, a single smile showed how happy she was.
Lilith asked Alpha to show them their choices:
[Name: Dhampy Qurenara
Evolution Matrix:
Hell Spawn: 15,000 LE
Blood Devil: 25,000 LE
Ancient Death Monarch: 40,000 LE]
"I choose the Ancient Death Monarch."
[Blood Lord –> Ancient Death Monarch
Requirements:
[Ÿ] Land of a Hundred Deaths
[Ÿ] Dragon Blood
[Ÿ] Midnight]
Dhampy did not hesitate to pick what seemed to be the strongest of the forms. Lilith looked at the LE price and almost fainted; thankfully, she had enough reserves.
When she evolved, her LE reserves reached 99,999, and that quickly filled when she killed the humans back in the Forest of Beast, but it seems like if she didn't evolve first and upgraded herself first, then making Dhampy evolve would be impossible.
But it was lucky that she could actually provide for her.
"This should be easy, I have the LE reserves to bestow upon you, and over a hundred people did just die, so this place should be considered a Land of Hundred Death, and as for the Dragon Blood, I can spare you some, wait for midnight, and I'll help you evolve."
"Thank you, boss."
Dhampy thanked Lilith, and this time, it was Sylva's turn to pick.
However, when the Evolution Matrix emerged before Sylva, the only thing that appeared was… a single choice.
Only one evolution appeared, no requirement was needed, and can be evolved without a problem, but as for the status and the name, it was pretty fucked up.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Small Pond
In a world without systems, levels, or any standard power levels, Faust is a naturally skeptical person who always asks questions first and accepts after he gets confirmation. A lot of it. With some information unknown to the reader, represented as [?], Faust is left to discover who kidnapped him, where he is, if magic exists, and what to do while the reader silently observes him. And as for the YOU dear reader, I'll need your help choosing some things... Small Pond isn't meant to be a high-paced action light novel, but instead, there's a greater focus on world and character building in order to create a greater narrative. Expect the unexpected in this story ;) The release schedule will be paused, for now, I'm going to try and spend some time rethinking the intro and work on school.
