Lilith was disappointed, but she could not do anything about it. This was now her form, it would not change no matter how much she complains.

She just decided to check the other two forms...

The Thunder Clap Leopard was still the same, other than its fur and spots that had changed color nothing much had "evolved". But Lilith could feel the compactness of her muscles and much it had improved. She felt energized to move.

As for the Two Horns, Lilith's eyes shone brilliantly as she caught sight of herself in the mirror. For a single moment, Lilith showed a truly bright smile. Something amazing had happened, she had grown taller.

"Muhahaha, I have grown taller. A whole inch! I have a chance."

A chance to grow taller, it was a light, a sign of hope. A laugh of victory echoed in the mansion. With the moon shining brilliantly, Lilith's eyes that resembled the emerald glowed with purity.

If she could grow taller, nothing was impossible! Lilith now had full confidence that she'll somehow regain a human form that's alluring enough to lure people to her side.

What? Beauty had always been used to lure others. What can you use it for other than trapping and ensnaring others?

'Oh yeah, how long was did the evolution take?'

[Not that long, around a day. Today is the next moon so 24 hours.]

'I see, it's not that long, huh!'

Bam!

"Boss head!"

While Lilith was celebrating like a child that received a gift for Christmas, the door slammed open. Turning to the person who called out, Lilith saw Sylva had sweat going down her face smiling at her.

Seeing the boss head having two horns and a magnificent floral kimono, the lass jumped up and down, celebrating as if she was the one who evolved.

"Boss head accomplis—ah! Sorry for being too noisy." Sylva lowered her head as she apologized after realizing her mistake.

"..." When Lilith saw this she raised a brow then waved a hand, "Don't worry about being too noisy. Just say what you're going to say, I don't have a problem with it."

"Really?" Sylva did not expect that.

"Yes, really."

Sylva saw Lilith's now softer smile and let the joy inside her out with shout filled with joy, "Boss head managed to evolve without a problem! Congratulations!"

The lass threw her hand overhead and shouted aloud.

Lilith could not help but smile at the sight. It's a first to see someone celebrating her in such an open and genuine fashion.

She could not help but laugh, "Yeah, yeah! I know I'm great... thank you."

[What do you think? Not having a stick up your ass is not so bad, isn't it?]

'Well, this ain't so bad.'

[I see, that's good then. Now, thank me!]

'What?'

[I helped you so I think it would be best for you to thank me. What? You don't know gratitude now?]

'...you destroyed the moment you know...? Thank you anyway.'

[Heheheheheheheheheh…. your welcome.... heheheheheheheheh]

'Oh, shut up.' Lilith said as Alpha gloated. She was irritated but a slight grin remained.

All the while Sylva remained causing a ruckus, Dhampy walked in and upon seeing Lilith, she too congratulated her.

"Congratulation, boss."

"Thank you."

Lilith said her thanks to Dhampy who now wore what seemed to be ripped apart brown curtain.

The cloth went all the way down to her ankles covering her body in its entirety.

"Are okay in that?"

"I am fine, boss. it does not hinder my movements. Sylva insisted I wear them to cover my... I still l do not know what I'm supposed to be covering. I do not have genitals, after all. Why, should I take it off?"

Dhampy was confused because she didn't exactly have anything to cover as she was still genderless. Though she did have some breast, but she had no nipples.

But even if she had, Dhampy still don't get it.

Lilith looked at the confused Dhampy and chose to shake her head, "No, keep it. It can warm you up."

Despite the confusion in this Dhampir's face, she didn't really seem displeased and that smile of her was quite the reliable proof.

'Well, it's good that they're getting along well.'

Cutting off the two for a moment, Lilith decided to face something more severe, the future.

Currently, Lilith's level cap was now at 40. It was now twice as high. She's currently at LVL 20. and it would take a while before she could reach ceiling.

Besides, it's not just the necessary level for her to evolve changed.

Right now, the amount of Life Essence needed to evolve each form was 3000 Life Essence each.

As for her limitations, it was now 10,000 Life Essence.

[Life Essence: 699/10,000]

Other than these changes, there was actually an update to the Shop's currency, but that there was no need to delve into it for now. Turning to Dhampy, Lilith showed her a very content smile.

[Dhampy Qurenara (Dhampir - Common) LVL 20]

"What is it, boss? Do you need something?" Dhampy asked.

Lilith nodded her head, "It is now both your turn to evolve."

"What?"

Dhampy asked, but Lilith didn't answer. She merely waved her hand and granted Alpha the "authorization" to show Dhampy a white panel containing a list of her possible evolutions...

Dhampy could see her information in the panel before her.

She knew this was a system panel, but unsure because this did not belong to her.

It was something different.

[Name: Dhampy Qurenara

Evolution Matrix:

Vampire: 100 LE

Night Ranger: 300 LE

Blood-Lord: 500 LE]

"Boss, this is?"

"It is your possible evolutions. I have compiled the best of the best. Take note, that the higher the Life Essence, the better its growth potential. But still consider their weakness, okay?"

"I–is this really possible?"

"It is, the Goddess Letza granted me the ability to help my followers, the members of our family. This is one of the Goddess' blessings, if you wish to thank someone, thank her for her generosity."

Lilith used the Goddess Card.

If it was anywhere else, it would seem like bullshit, but to Dhampy and Sylva, it sounded plausible concerning the situation.

Dhampy's blank expression twitched. it was as if she had seen the light at the end of a tunnel, she saw hope. Lilith did not miss it.

Dhampy kept Lilith's words in mind.

Lilith secretly turned to the side and saw Sylva fidgeting. It was clear what she wanted.

"Don't worry, once you reach LVL 20 I will also grant you the ability to choose your evolution. You too are a part of this family."

No words were needed to be uttered as Sylva's face blossomed into a wide smile, a tear even escaped the corner of her eyes. As it did, Lilith could hear the System announcing both their Loyalty going up.

[Loyalty +1]

Both of them had an increase in their loyalty, that's rather convenient. The increase was subtle, but considering how high their loyalty was already, Lilith understood that the increase would be much harder from now on.

Whilst Dhampy was contemplating over what evolution she wanted and Sylva daydreaming about the possibility of evolving, Lilith chose to browse through the Shop.

—Shop—

[Weapons]

Steel Sword

Steel Dagger

Steel Shield

[Materials]

Iron Ore

Bronze Ore

Silver Drop Ore

[Misc.]

Health Potion

Mana Potion

Scrolls

Amongst many others, the Misc. section had more varied uses. It sold a lot of things like Magic Artfacts. These Artifacts ranged from Magic Bombs to a health and mana potion.

There were a lot of good things in there, but unlike before, Lilith could no longer buy things using LE (Life Essence).

Now, she had to get something called SP (System Points). These system points were very easy to get, just get some [Mana Cores] from daemons.

'Easier said than done. Only Rare-tier daemons have mana cores and from here on out, their ability to use mana was much stronger. Also, a rare-tier mana core only amounts to 200 SP and the cheapest thing in this Shop's [Misc. Section] was at least 10,000 SP.'

She would be wrung out if this goes on.

'Whoever designed this thing is a fucking rip-off.' She cussed inside, and someone in the God Realm was snickering.

'Alpha, can't you say something to the Goddess about this? This is too much of a rip-off.'

[I received something, the Goddess said she'll return it to the old settings if you agree that SP will be the value of your evolution. Also, if you think about it, if the LE currency was kept, then you'll never be able to buy anything of value with your current LE limit.]

Lilith shut her mouth. Both points made sense. She didn't want her evolution to use SP as currency and she also didn't want to be limited in terms of the Shop's usage.

There were good things that's beyond the 100,000 SP range in there.

Aside from currency, another thing changed. The so-called gift Alpha's senior said they'll give finally arrived and it was somewhat a good one...

[Compendium of Daemons], an item that records any daemons she assimilate into her group. It lists everything from their weakness to their attributes.

It naturally does not record her enemies other than its name and illustration. In short, it was a picture book.

But surprisingly enough, Lilith was very much satisfied with this gift. She smiled, after all, if she could learn about a species' likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, then that species would be powerless against her and she would be able to use it to better her rule.

And yes, she knows that it applies only to those who were in her side.

'I'll be able to form contingency plans!'

It was a good time, evolving from common-tier to rare-tier was a happy occasion indeed.

There was even a gift. All the while she was enjoying the moment, Dhampy finally spoke aloud.

"I have decided I wish to become a Blood-Lord. It is the most powerful of them all. Its weakness is nothing like the other two as well."

"Good choice."

Lilith was just about to transfer the LP to her, but then stopped as she found something weird.

[Dhampir –> Blood Lord

Requirements:

[Ÿ] Blood of a dark attributed daemon ten levels higher

[Ÿ] Rare-tier Mana Core

[Ÿ] Full Moon]

Lilith looked at it and nodded her tiny head.

'Yup, this is troublesome.'
