Chapter 17: Evolution

Surpriesed as I was by the sudden appearance of the blue window I asked myself what I did to evolve. There was only that I attacked the dragon and now that it has been defeated I evolve. That is way to easy.

I looked over the choices I had, Magic dog was a solid choice as Sophie and Alicia already talked about how cool it would be if I became one, breeding Dog and Spirit dog were a bit puzzling to me as I had no idea what they would do.

'OK, breeding dog sounds like a dog used to breed so I will probably get many children that wouldn't be bad, but how would I help Sophie with getting laid often. Spirit Dog sound like something that has something to do with ghost and such things, can that help Sophie maybe it is a special kind of magic dog. Nah that wouldn't be the case.'

As I thought about what Spirit dog could be curiosity took over and I choose to take Spirit dog.

When the window disappeared a new one appeared right in front of me that one remembered me of the one I saw when I fell onto this world

I was a bit flabbergast as I read this message, what I saw weren't my stats my stats where lower so what could that be, those are the max values my stats can improve to. So, I need to select carefully what I need more to survive in this world and as Sophies Familiar.

I pondered for a long time and decided to add Stamina as the one for the basics as I was lacking in that aspect the most. Then, I wanted to survive in this world and I think I can remember that vitality increased my life so I choose it, but as I don't like being hit I took agility to be able to evade more often.

The last three I thought about how to use them to help Sophie more so I thought that increasing my perception would help me detect intruders and enemies not only of me, but even those of little Sophies. To increase my ability to fight even if I don't want to fight I chose to increase my control as to not damage myself as with the dragon and to increase my force so my spells could deal some real damage with this the bonus dices were all used up.

Next up where my re-rolls as those weren't limited as the bonus dice I wanted to increase my life effectively so I choose to re-roll the 2 I had by life.

As I waited for the re-roll to happen, I realized that it didn't show me my bonus dice either so I went and choose the other ones to re-roll.

I went with agility to improve my evasions and intelligence to not be as dump as a normal animal.

The last re-roll was the trickiest to choose I couldn't decide between look and charm.

In the end I went with look as that was the lower one.

After I choose the last re-roll the window disappeared and a wave of sleepiness hit me, it didn't even take me three seconds and I was fast asleep.

When I woke up, I was disoriented. I tried to stand up and realized that my legs were back, but they were different from before. Before my fur was completely brown, now my pawns where white not just white, pure white.

This white went up the side of my legs in a small line and then curled around my shoulder before meeting up with the ones from my hinder legs. My snout was now of the same white color as those strange lines.

I looked at myself for a bit more before remembering what had happened before my evolution. I searched for the TV Screen from before, but I couldn't find it, but I still knew that I was inside the tattoo so Sophie was OK.

Excited about the change of my body I went and checked my stats.

The Life, Stamina and Mana I had surprised me it was just so much, but other than those nothing had changed.

So I went and checked how my skills had changed.

Two new skills appeared and I remembered that I didn't check the Familiar skills. So, I checked them all.

I was overwhelm by the amount of sub-skills I had, but one thing was even more surprising the combined sub-skill from Claw Mastery and Astral Magic, so I went ahead and checked it.

Spirit Claw

Spirit Claw is the evolved skill from Astral Claw.

You can attack the soul of things by shrouding your claws in astral Magic.

You can also shroud the soul of your claw in magic and attack with those.

Manacost: 10 or 25

'What the fuck is this broken skill. Attacking the soul of things how does that even work?'

For a bit I tried how to make Spirit Claws work and found out some more thing.

First I can hurt myself with it.

Second it does hurt a lot more than a normal claw attack, but does less damage.

Third I can move the Soul of my claw differently than my claw and stretch it up to two meters away.

That is sadly all I found out about it, but instead I found out that all damage I suffer while in the tattoo will go away after 10 seconds.

As I got another idea about what to try out, but couldn't do that inside the Tattoo I left the Tattoo.

When I left I heard the sound of fabric being torn and then a scream.

Hey this time sadly there is no choice, but still thanks for reading.
