Several items dropped, and as Edith went to collect them, the sky went dark. He raised his head, and a building was heading towards him.

The hell!

He turned himself into a mole rat and jumped to the hole. The building crashed on the ground and made the earth trembled.

Sensing danger, Edith made his way towards the church. He dug out from the ground and popped out his head.

Then, a body dropped in front of him, and it was the man who was fighting with Claire earlier. Several ice shards had impaled his body. The body turned into tiny lights and disappeared into the air and there were several items on the ground.

What the?

“I win.” A woman voice echoed in the air. Edith turned his head to the source. She was standing on top of the fallen building. She wielded a bow in her hands.

"You must be that person before," She lowered her gaze at Edith, "I thought you died."

“Sorry to disappoint you, but it will take a lot more than that to kill me.” Edith answered him as he transformed into his human form.

What the fuck am I saying?

She rolled her eyes to her side before turning her attention to Edith, “We're the only ones that's left. May I know your name?”

“Why would I do that?” He asked her.

“Because, I guess you're already know my name.” She answered and aimed her sword at him.

Dammit.

“Fine, my name is Edith,” He told her.

“Edith... if you're a man, please kill yourself,” She commanded him, “Because you do know that you can't beat me.”

“Sorry, I'm not going to that.” He refuted back at her. “Because I'm going to win this stupid game.”

She laughed. “Then, so be it, die by my hands.”

Claire jumped off the building and aimed her sword at Edith. Edith rolled to his left, opened his stat window, and pulled out a book. Claire crashed to where he had stood and created a cloud of dust on impact.

She glared at him with an intense bloodlust in her eyes. Edith opened the book, and lights came out from it and engulfed him.

The sensation was similar when he opened the book of agility, but the only difference was, it sent an electrifying feeling into his body. Edith's heart began beating faster, both his arms and legs began bending, his hair grew longer, eyes changed into a mix of snake and tiger, his whole body filled with orange fur, a serpent tail stretched behind him, nails grew longer, fish's gills on his neck, and a pair of wings appeared on his back.

The lights dissipated from his surroundings. He opened his eyes and turned to Claire, who had her jaws opened wide.

“W-what... are you?”

“With this, I can defeat you.” He punched his left hand with his right fist.

“Hah…” She moved backwards, “Y-you must be dreaming?”

“Well, let's find that out.” Edith dashed towards her with his claws stretched out.

Claire made an ice shield on her hand and tried to block it, but Edith broke it with ease. Then, he tried to slash her face. Claire dodged his claws and stretched out a kick to Edith's stomach.

Edith stopped the kick with his tail, tangling it. Edith moved his tail and flung her body to the ground hard, then he tried to step on her face, but Claire blocked it with a ten-layer ice shield in front of her. But his attack went through nine of them before stopping on the last one.

Claire flung several ice shards at him from the shield. But it had no effect on his body when it tried to push itself onto him.

“H-how?” She asked.

“The book... it not only let me evolve, but it has increased my strength, toughness, agility, reflex, my sense, and all of it... that I don't even know.” Edith answered her.

"T-that got to be a cheat." She told him.

“Yeah... I got the same conclusion as you are right now.” He said to her.

Claire smiled, “If you think that you're the only one that has it, then you're wrong.” Claire said as a similar book appeared in her hand.

Shit.

Edith pulled himself from her as she opened her book. The lights engulfed her, and the air surrounded him had become electrified and cold.

Fusing lightning and cold... this is becoming a problem, a big one. The light disappeared from her, and her red hair had become silver, black tights pants, silver cloak, on her hair, she had a pair of pointy ice earpieces that looked like an elf's ear and a gold diamond on her necklace.

She opened her eyes, and it sent electricity into the air. Lightning appeared behind her and struck a nearby building, destroying it.

“Now, we can fight.” Claire waved her hands in front of her, and it lifted herself in the air. Next, she flung multiple ice shards that had been embedded with lighting to Edith.

Edith jumped away from where he stood, an ice wall formed in front of him, he tried to move away, but another ice wall appeared from his side, then another one behind him.

He turned to the ice shards, they had changed their direction and aimed towards him. Dammit! He lowered his body and dug the ground.

A cloud of dust covered the area when the ice shards impacted the ground where he was standing. The wind carried the dust away, and a hole came into Claire view. She gritted her teeth in anger.

Edith appeared from the ground behind her and flew to her and tried to slash her back, but an ice shard went towards his side. Sensing it. Edith pushed himself away, and the ice shard passed him but changed direction mid-air and tried to attack him again.

As it got closer to him, he stopped it with his bare hand, but lightning appeared from the shards and shocked him. Edith screamed from his lungs.

Claire moved towards him with lightning speed, she formed a sword on her hand and aimed at his chest. Edith grabbed her sword with his right hand, but the ice sword wouldn't stop.

Fuck!

He placed another hand on the ice shards, and it managed to stop it. Blood poured from both his hands as he panted.

Claire smiled, “You forgot about this.”

Another ice sword formed from her hands, and she embedded it with lightning and attacked his head.

“Don't look down on me.” He said. His left wing blocked her attack, she smiled, and she tried to electrocute him, but it had no effect on him.

“W-what?” She looked at his wing. She noticed it had been cut, las the wing began falling, a blade appeared from it and tried to stab her head.

Claire blocked it with an ice wall. “Clever, but now you only have one wing.”

“You forgot about this!” Edith kicked her stomach, and the sword on his hand snapped, the force of the kick, pushed her to the wall.

Edith began falling to the ground, he manoeuvred his right wing to minimize the speed, used his feet as a brake, and he kicked the ground several times before stopping.

Claire laughed, and he turned to look at her. “All that, but you can't even kill me... you must be very desperate to cut your own wing.”

“You forget about another thing.” Edith said.

A slice of meat appeared in his hand, and he consumed it. Lights shined on the cut wing, and a new one emerged. Next, he dashed towards her and stretched his claws at her.

Claire formed an ice wall in front of him, Edith made a fist, and it hit the wall, but his attack only managed to scratch it. Edith jumped away from her.

“See, you can't kill me, you lost.” She sneered at him.

There must be another way! Edith began scanning his surroundings. He noticed that the circle had shrunk to the size of an arena. Well, that may work.

He formed two daggers in his hands. Edith kicked the ground beneath him and it created a small crater. He lunged himself at her.

“How many times do you have to try, it won't work!” An ice wall formed from the ground, and she channelled lightning on it.

Edith changed his path and went to her side. She formed another wall to block his attempt. He flew upwards and tried to attack him from above. But another wall appeared and blocked his view of her.

“Hah! I know what you're going to do.” She protected her back and her other sides with another ice wall. Next, she moved a finger of her and the ice around her changed into a dome with a lightning channel through them.

Claire moved her hands wide and sent several ice shards embedded lightning towards him.

Well, this is going to be bothersome. He began dodging and repelling her attack.

“Edith! Give up! You can't win against me.” She laughed as she sent more shards at him. He dodged them all before kicking the air. Edith went towards her with speed and dodged her attacks.

As he got closer, he impaled his dagger on the ground and used his tail to push it deep to the earth. The tail entangled the blade and Edith flew around her in a circle while repelling her attack with his other dagger.

He returned to the positioned he started and pulled his tail away. Edith called out to her. “Hey, Claire!”

Claire stopped her attack, “Oh are you surrendering? after flying around in circle?”

“Nope, but have you notice something strange around?”

“What?” She scanned her surroundings. The border of the circle was behind her and so was Edith.

“Look how small the circle is.” Edith told her.

“So?”

“Well, prepare to lose.”

“Huh?”

Edith pushed his hands on the crack his dagger made earlier and began lifting it towards the border behind her.

“What the-No.” She tried to make a hole in the wall of ice.

“I won't let you!” He screamed and pushed the ground towards the border.

It went past the border, and Claire began suffocating, she only managed to make a small hole in the wall.

“H-help me, I don't want to die again, please help me!” Claire shouted.

“I'm not going to fall for that.” He turned his face away, “Sorry.”

“N-No!” She screamed in pain. The lights consumed her, and she turned into bits of light.

The circle stopped, and the three being appeared before him.

“Congratulation, you've won the game.” Life commended him.

“Now, tell us, what is your wish.” Satan asked.

Edith opened his mouth and told them his wish. The three beings looked at each other and nodded their heads.

“We acknowledged your wish, and by the power invested in me, Death.”

“And me, Life.”

“And me, Satan.”

“We grant your wish!” They said in unison.

Lights began consuming Edith. His vision about the three being and the church changed to black. He opened his eyes and in front of him was a young mother, his new mother.

“Hello, little Jamie. Welcome to this world.” The woman called his new name and Ed-No, Jamie cried.

I won't let this life goes to waste.
