Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

Riela was the first to rise the next morning. She went and took one of Rowan's old robes and began practicing her [Enchanted Embroidery] on it.

She sat at the edge of the bed, using the light of the torch in the dim room to work, as it was very early in the morning and the natural light wasn't bright enough.

She held the robe in one hand and the needle and thread in the other. Her hands moved swiftly as she embroidered a beautiful design on the robe. She creatively added a small design of a howling wolf, giving the robe a new and refreshing feel.

As she finalized her design, the thread in her hands began to emit a soft glow, and so did the design on the robe.

"It's working!" she muttered happily.

Using the [Enchanted Embroidery] was really simple: she had to add a design, and if it was good enough, the embroidery would activate by emitting a glow like it just did. Then she would try to manifest any effect she wanted on the robe by focusing on it mentally.

At the current rank of her skill, she could only add one effect per robe, which was already perfect.

Seeing that the skill had activated, she focused her eyes and mind intensely on a special effect for the embroidery.

The needle and thread in her hands twisted magically as she was about to complete the design.

Unfortunately, as a mortal, focusing on her hands and thoughts simultaneously without faltering became really difficult. But Riela was dead set on finishing what she started and did her best.

A few minutes passed, and the design was finally completed.

Riela stared at the black robe, the design of a howling wolf adorning the center front of the garment. The design glowed softly.

"Did it work?" Riela wondered with a panicky expression on her face. She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if she didn't get it right!

Nevertheless, as if to answer her question, the glowing design shone even brighter, signifying it was successful! Though the bright glow only lasted for a few seconds before it disappeared entirely.

"Yes!" Riela exclaimed, punching the air excitedly.

Her little cheer of excitement woke Rowan.

Rowan wiped his eyes lazily as he traced his gaze to Riela standing beside the bed, holding one of his robes.

Rowan's eyes cleared immediately when he saw the cool design on his robe. He was not only amazed by the wonderful design but also by the description that followed afterwards.

Enchanted Robe: A robe that has been enchanted with [Enchanted Embroidery]

Effect - Luck: When equipped, luck increases by 150%

---

Rowan rose from the bed and rushed towards Riela, taking hold of the robe with a genuinely amazed expression on his face.

"This is beautiful, Riela!" he said with a bright smile.

"The design is very cool and reminds me of Blaze!" Rowan continued, complimenting her, causing her to smile profusely and feel really proud of herself.

"I used Enchanted Embroidery as instructed by the book, and it worked on my first try! I am happy your robe was my first attempt," Riela responded cheerfully.

Rowan pecked her cheek before asking, "What effect did you add to it? I am very curious; tell me, please."

He acted curious even though he already knew the effects.

Riela happily explained to him, telling him how she wanted him to be lucky with everything he does and not experience any bad luck.

"That is very sweet, Riela." Rowan kissed her and complimented her once again.

While Riela made the robe for that simple and romantic reason, Rowan understood what boosted luck could actually do. The quality of the rewards he received during that period would be improved by a satisfactory percentage. Also, the drop rate after killing monsters would increase—it was a really good thing to possess, especially since Rowan had thoughts of going hunting soon.

Riela was very happy with Rowan's reaction and made up her mind to add the same effect to his other robes later. Though she wondered if it would be easy to replicate the effect perfectly.

Two hours passed gradually, and morning finally arrived. Riela and Rowan left the house together and strolled to the village square, receiving many greetings and compliments along the way.

Riela left to meet her apprentices, who were already waiting for her, while Rowan went with Bruce and his men to the northern border. He briefed them on the construction plan for a few minutes and gave them the equipment they needed.

He did the same for the other groups.

After that, he left for the farm area.

At the farm area, he saw a lot of people collecting the clean water in all sorts of containers.

Last night, the farmers and little children didn't fail to announce the news of the clean water source that Rowan had provided them, and this morning, they didn't waste time and gathered to get their share of the clean water as fast as they could.

'No wonder I noticed a slight increase in my evolution points. I thought I was just imagining things, but it turned out to be true, haha,' thought Rowan with a smile as he watched from a distance.

When the villagers saw him, they immediately rushed to him and thanked him for what he had done.

Rowan responded with smiles and promised them even more developments in the future.

With his super voice activated, he was able to get all of them to experience the fullest of their emotions, thus earning him a few evolution points.

Elara, who came to work at the farm today after relaxing for the last two days, came forward to greet Rowan with a smile. The other women who came with her that day were also present, and they greeted Rowan with smiles, which Rowan reciprocated.

After greeting, Elara didn't waste time and quickly told Rowan about the issues she had with the farm; she told him about the need for new crops.

Fortunately, that was the reason Rowan came to the farm, and he assured her he was going to take care of it.

The farmlands in Winterseed were very big, about as large as the inhabited part of the village. Nevertheless, only less than 60% of the land was being cultivated due to the unavailability of resources to take care of the other parts.

However, now that the most important resource, water, was available, cultivating the uncultivated parts was the right thing to do.

Rowan called all the farmers together and spoke to them for a few minutes before announcing his decision to appoint leaders and representatives.

None of them argued with him and immediately agreed.

They even suggested five people to represent them—two of them were men in their late middle age, one middle-aged woman, one young man, and Elara.

"Great, all five of you will be in charge of the farms from now on. When I am busy and have information to pass to everyone, I'll pass it to you, and you will pass it to others. Also, you can gather the suggestions and complaints of the others and pass them to me," Rowan continued, listing their tasks.

After ordaining the leaders, he proceeded to distribute the seeds he had with him. They were all very grateful and ready to work.

After Rowan was done, he left to proceed with the other tasks on his hands—today was definitely going to be stressful!
