《Empress' Evolution》77. Evolution
Advertisement
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.

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.

Bleen Fada - The Legendary Pathfinder
It had been decades since dreams started to kill. Today, it's finally over.Mahon was once a general and an impressive warrior. In his dreams. In Nightmare. There, he put an end to the war that plagued mankind for decades. In the real world, however, the war has been raging for millenia, and Mahon is weak, his body frail from all his years spent dream-fighting. But it's time for a new beginning. In a world he knows almost nothing about, he will struggle to climb back to power, a necessity if he wants to achieve his goal. But he doesn’t lack willpower. And he already reached the highest ranks before. Who is to say he can’t do it again? That is, if the Fada let it be… This story takes place in a medieval fantasy world. Swords and schemes are the common ways to assert your place among the powerful. This story follows Mahon on his journey back to power. Not a simple one, as he will uncover some of the deepest mysteries that had been buried deep down along the ages. As of now, 98% of my chapters are through Mahon’s PoV and I want to keep it that way. There will be no unending PoV swaps for multiple chapters. Although war/conflict is one of the main themes, it’s not really a story about war. Instead, expect fights, plots, foreshadowing, progression and adventure from these chapters. It’s my first time publishing a book, and English is not my native language. I hope you will enjoy the story and that you’ll be indulgent enough to point out my mistakes with kindness. I wish to grow as a better writer and provide something that will make you cheer for, and shiver in anticipation. As long as you’re not, it means there is something to improve. Note: It's a slow progression fantasy, and some have raised complaints about the depressing tones and slowness in some of the first chapters. Rest assured, it soon disappears as Mahon progresses. Release schedule : M/W/F at 6:12 am GMT+2

But only SOMETIMES.**Note: Don't give me 5 star ratings. I doubt you'd want to anyway, but ratings without any criticism don't help me improve, and thus destroy the purpose for which I write.
