Beast Evolution

Ray opened his eyes slowly and it worked, he was fully dressed how he was before, with everything intact including his adventurer ID. The clothes he was wearing contained a pocket and that was where he kept the crystals.

"It really worked, I should go back to the city" Ray headed back to the city but on the way he encountered three wild boars, this was different from the fanged boar because it has no front teeth.

Ray quickly took care of them and was finally in the capital heading towards the adventurer guild hall, "Hey" someone called him from behind, it was Arya.

"Are you done with your task?" Arya asked him, "yes, I just finished my first task" he replied.

"First task, what was the task that took you so long" Arya was surprised, the day was already getting darker when Ray arrived at the capital.

"I went out of the capital" Ray told her.

"Out of the capital!! for your first quest, what did you do?" She asked, the door to the adventurer guild was open and they both stepped in.

"Fanged boar" Ray answered her, "monster for your first quest, wow" Arya mumbled, Ray dropped the crystal of two fanged boars on the receptionist's counter, he was careful not to drop the evolved crystal or the wild boar crystal so he separated them on his way.

"Good job, you must be very skilled to complete this quest as your first" the receptionist said to Ray with a big smile, she collected the crystal and brought out some pieces of coin and gave them to Ray.

Arya also summited a piece of paper and was rewarded some coins, "what task did you take?" Ray asked, "helping hand" she replied.

"So you helped someone". "Yes, it wasn't a lot of work though," Arya said as they both walked out of the adventurer guild.

"Four done, six to go. I really need a bath" Arya said and stretch her body, "four done, I don't understand".

"Four quests done, six to go," Arya said loudly this time, 'i only completed one quest, well I still have two more days before the knight academy begins to accept students' Ray pondered as they both walked back.

A moment later...

"Hey, come back," Lily said as Ray's pet wolf ran to meet him, "you guys are back," Lily said as she saw them.

"Hey buddy" Ray rubbed his pet wolf and it wagged its tail.

Ray went inside and rested a while before taking his bath, he went forward to greet the merchant's wife before he retreated to his room where he was served, he shared the food with his pet wolf.

Ray went outside for some fresh air after he confirmed that the group was chatting happily in the living room, the merchant had returned and retreated to his room with his wife.

'Time to evolve you' Ray whispered, Ray took his pet wolf to a corner of the merchant house and fed it the remaining crystal he collected from the beasts he killed in the forest he went to, including the evolved fanged boar crystal.

The pet wolf swallowed the crystal like they were his favorite food and Ray was surprised, 'wait is this wolf getting bigger, or is it my eye' Ray wondered, then the system interface appeared.

(Do you want to evolve wolf)

Ray answered with a 'yes'

(Evolution crystals (10/10)

(Opening up evolution path)

(processing information....)

*Ding*

(Two evolution paths detected)

(Horned Wolf)

(Battle Wolf)

(Horned Wolf) A wolf with a horn on its forehead, although not strong physically, its main focus is speed. The wolf also have a slight immunity to some element.

(Battle Wolf) A wolf big in size that can grow up to 7 meters tall, its main characteristic is brute strength that is used to crush enemies, weak to all elemental attacks.

Ray looked at the two options the system presented to him.

While option A seems a bit weaker than option B, it probably meant they would be more chances for the wolf to grow stronger in the future.

Through the options, Ray knew that if it wasn't for the system the wolf would automatically evolve to a horned wolf like its mother.

In the end, Ray decided to choose option A, his choice was simple, the battle wolf size and strength were the biggest turn off.

Ray wanted to stay discreet and with a creature of that size, it would attract attention and he can't explain the wolf, so he could be arrested.

Ray selected option A and suddenly the wolf vanished.

'System where is my wolf' Ray said in his head.

(Horned wolf is in the middle of evolution, a notification would be sent once it is complete)

Ray was surprised, for him it only took minutes, why was the wolf different and where exactly is the wolf, with no way to speed up the process he just had to wait.

He went back inside and lay on the large bed that he shared with Jack. 'Tomorrow is another day' Ray mumbled and after a while, he fell asleep.

Ray slept well this night without having any strange dreams.

Ray woke up really weak like something was seeping his strength off little by little, Ray looked around.

Jack was still snoring but the two girls were already out, 'is the wolf ready' Ray was really excited to see how the wolf would be.

(Horned wolf is in the middle of evolution, a notification would be sent once it is complete)

"Still haven't finished" Ray muttered as he got on his feet, he felt really tired, he hasn't felt this way before, almost like he was human again.

With the way he was feeling, today he wasn't going to do any task, he would just explore the city, that was what he had in mind.

Ray washed his teeth in the bathroom, they didn't have a toothbrush here but the item they used proved more efficient.

"Hey" Ray called to the maid he saw, "good morning," the maid said to him looking down, it was the maid that had a crush on Ray.

"What's your name," Ray asked her, Ray wasn't rich so he wasn't used to being greeted and it made him feel uncomfortable.

"I'm Isabella" She answered, "call me Ray," he said, "can I ask you a question". "You can ask me anything," Isabella said with a smile, "do you know where the girls went?" Ray asked her, "what" she blinked a few times when he said that she was thinking it was something personal after he asked for her name but no.
