[Vampire Dragon Chimera]
[Blood Dragon]
Chaos was surprised, two evolutions emerged!
His current race was Lesser Vampire Dragon Chimera.
So the obvious update was the one without the Lesser on it.
And well… there was also the mysterious Blood Dragon!
What will Chaos choose?
He was a bit confused, what was even this type of evolution?
He had seen evolution already, as he had evolved the monsters in the castle, and also planned to evolve the Orcs at some point, but they all evolved automatically.
Was there any choice for them when they evolved?
Chaos decided to ask Belphegor as he walked outside his room.
"Choice? Hm… Not that I remember, my lord," said Belphegor.
After that, he asked various monsters around, but none said they had a choice of what they could evolve into, it was all usually automatic.
He had only used around 20 minutes into this, but it was valuable information for him.
He quickly dived back into his room, ignoring Abyss who was rushing towards him to hug him, and quickly closed the door before she was to slip inside.
"Master!" she cried.
"Abyss, I want some privacy…
am going to evolve now," said Chaos.
"Oh… I understand! I will go make you something yummy for now!" said Abyss, rushing away.
Something yummy? Were there any ingredients to eat anyways?
"Oh right, the Orcs had some strange ingredients and food…" thought Chaos, as he recalled that the Orcs had a lot of dried meat and strange types of vegetables that grew around these lands.
Feeling in peace, Chaos rested over the bed and decided to check if he could see the details of these evolutions…

"Can I use Appraisal?" he wondered, using the Appraisal Skill.

[Vampire Dragon Chimera]
The evolution of a Lesser Vampire Dragon Chimera, as it has lost its "Lesser" sub-category, can develop its abilities at a faster rate and evolve even stronger capabilities.
Unlock one random Ability from the Vampire and Dragon Skill Trees.
[Blood Dragon]
The evolution of a Lesser Vampire Dragon Chimera, or a Dragon who has an affinity with the Blood Attribute. It grants the ability to develop the ability to manipulate and use Blood in a variety of forms.
Unlock two random Abilities from the Dragon Skill Tree.
…
There were descriptions!
And it seemed that each evolution would unlock two random abilities from the skill trees of Dragos or Vampires…
The first evolution gave one of each, while the second one seemed to give two of dragons.
But wait, wouldn't this mean that if Chaos chooses the second option, will he stop being a Vampire?
Chaos felt like it would be a waste of all the effort his father went through if he were to neglect his vampire side and instead turn into a Blood Dragon…
He didn't know that it could be so easy to simply ruin all the effort into making him such a powerful existence by choosing this option, which Chaos quickly attributed to the "trap option", the one that was enticing but not really good for his future development!
He quickly decided to keep being a chimera between the two races, choosing to take away his "Lesser" Subcategory within his Race, and deciding to evolve into a Vampire Dragon Chimera!

[You have selected the [Vampire Dragon Chimera] Evolution Option]
A second after this choice, Chaos was suddenly enveloped by a cocoon made of blood, as he fell asleep almost immediately.
Or well, he didn't, as he kept conscious within his dreams.
"It seems that to evolve, I require to cover myself in this cocoon? The monsters didn't evolve like this… I suppose I am rather unique all thanks to father and mother's efforts," thought Chaos.

As Belphegor slept for the first time since he woke up, he began to feel fuzzy, his body began to break apart and stretch, to dissolve and reform, and more.
It didn't hurt at all though, he seemed to have his feeling of pain incredibly dulled, perhaps because he was half-undead.
However, as he delved deeper into his dreams, he was suddenly called by something.
It was very dim, a little whisper, but he heard it.
"Hm?"
Chaos opened his eyes within his dreamscape, a place filled with perpetual darkness, as he walked around, chasing the little whisper.
"My…"
Chaos heard something said, "My", but nothing else.
He decided to go where this whisper came from, walking through this darkness as he tried to seek the origin of this sudden mystery.
"Child…"
Another whisper came, "Child" was the word.
Chaos also noticed that this voice was… rather feminine.
"My child…"
Once more, as he kept walking, Chaos continued to hear the whisper, now it felt more complete, it called to him as his child…
"My child… Where are you?" it asked once more, Chaos was now able to hear it loud and clear, as he reached the origin of the whisper…
Within the perpetual darkness of his dreamscape, there was a strange… crack.
Indeed, it was as if space itself had cracked a little bit, and something behind this crack leads somewhere else.
What could this place be?
Chaos glanced with his crimson eyes at the crack, moving closer to it.
Suddenly, instead of the darkness of his dreamscape, what greeted his sight was beautiful scenery, stars, galaxies, planets, nebulas, meteors, a wondrous sight of outer space.
But how could his own dream lead to outer space? It was utterly impossible!
Or was it?
Chaos decided to open the crack, reaching his claws to it and stretching it open.
Crack… crack!
He opened the crack a bit more until he was able to fit his head inside of it, and then, he was able to see something he didn't notice when he peeked into it with his eyes.
Immense spiraling darkness… it was neither a black hole nor a black galaxy, but it resembled both combined, it was black, red, purple, and pink colors twisting around endlessly, forming a spiraling abyss…
"My child… I am glad you're here…" it said, with the voice of a mature woman.
"Who… are you?" asked Chaos.
"I am-"
…
Ding!
[You have evolved into a [Vampire Dragon Chimera]!]
Chaos opened his crimson-red eyes, his evolution seemed to have ended.

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
