2 Changes
*Master, your soul has recovered.*
Decades ago, the world experienced an event called the blood rain. The skies wept crimson, and the earth trembled in excitement, as if awakening from a long slumber. Every lifeform caught in the downpour felt a deep, primal fear, as though the world itself was announcing the beginning of the end.
"What is happening?!" Chaos erupted across the globe as panic spread like wildfire.
Then, as suddenly as it began, the rain stopped.
**Boom!**
The next moment, mana flooded the world like a tidal wave, nourishing the very essence of existence. The air crackled with energy, and the ground seemed to hum with newfound vitality.
**Boom!**
Everyone gasped in unison as a meteor streaked across the sky, its fiery tail illuminating the heavens. In this moment of chaos, ancient beings stirred from their deep slumber, awakened by the resurgence of world laws and energy. The gods, sensing the shift, alerted their divine messengers to prepare for the changes to come.
*Your body is strong, and your spirit is renewed.*
Dax's mind was flooded with memories—not just his own, but fragments of another life. He saw himself fighting a monstrous beast, his body broken and bleeding. "Such a pitiful way to die," he muttered, clenching his fists in anger.
*Master, this emotion is justified. This body possesses a 98.7% similarity to your previous human form.*
Dax was currently on the continent of demons—Deimos. He was a battle slave, a prisoner of war.
*Master, some changes and updates were made after my evolution.*
*Firstly, I am no longer a biochip but a system. However, I still retain my regular functions.*
"And how did that happen?" Dax asked, his voice tinged with curiosity.
*Master, as your soul traversed *********, certain upgrades were necessary. Please check your stats.*

"Inerous, what are the updates you received?"
*Firstly, master, check your inventory for your surprise package.*
"Inventory," Dax said.
Instantly, he appeared in a strange, otherworldly space. The air was thick with an eerie stillness, and the ground beneath him seemed to pulse with energy.
"Inerous, this is the inventory?"
*Yes, Master. This space is linked to your lab.*
"Hahahahaha, lovely news. Inerous, how do I access my lab?"
*Master, you need to create your first Synth beast to unlock the lab feature.*
Looking down, Dax noticed a black package and something wrapped in black clothing at his feet.
*Ding*
*Master, do you wish to open the package?*
"Yes."
*Congratulations, Master. You have gained 10x Awakening Potion.*
*Master, please familiarize yourself with this world. It's... peculiar.*
Returning to reality, Dax realized he was in a dimly lit cellar. The air was damp, and the walls were lined with rusted chains and forgotten tools.
"Ahhh!! Why are you alive?" a man screamed, his voice trembling with despair.
Dax turned to see a bat-like creature cowering in the corner. "Guards, please save me! There's an undead!"
Dax looked at his hands, a faint smile playing on his lips. "So now I'm an undead, huh? Haha." He walked closer to the man, his gaze piercing. "Never knew a demon would be so scared of an undead. Old man, sad to disappoint you, but I'm a human."
"I know, boy. You've been dead for a while. My eyes can never deceive me. Your body has been leaking death aura," the bat-like creature stammered.
"Old bat, please give me your eyes," Dax said, his tone chillingly calm. He could see that this demon's eyes were special, and he couldn't resist the urge to claim them.
*This kid has a loose screw. My senses have been screaming at me since this brat awoke,* the bat-like creature thought, his panic growing.
"Old bat," Dax repeated, his voice cold.
"Who the fuck is an old bat? I'm just 200, and I'm devilishly handsome at that. I am the fallen prince and the last survivor of the Xzorian race. I am Korg!"
Even in this state, Korg couldn't help but boast. Dax ignored him, sitting in a corner and removing a bottle of Awakening Potion from his storage.
This potion was of the highest grade—a 10-star potion, the pinnacle of Dax's past achievements. It had a 10% chance of granting a god-level trait.
When discussing the highest levels of power, one must remember the F-rank, also known as the False rank. Those who reach this rank are filled with negative energy, which can only be tapped into in two ways.
The first method involves the aid of a living weapon. These weapons have the unique ability to transform negative energy into raw power. They recognize only one master, and at the end of their master's life, they take control of the body, returning the harvested negative energy to the world.
Dax drank the potion, feeling pure power course through his body.
**1st Stage of Awakening: Physical Enhancement.**
"Fools!"
The guard fumed in anger, storming toward the cellar. "Bastards! I will slay you myself if you don't keep quiet!" His anger radiated like a storm ready to unleash its fury.
The second method, inspired by the Fibonacci spiral, mimics the pull of a black hole, devouring foreign energy and returning it as dark matter in the form of a galaxy. This technique, known as Galaxy Gathering, requires a strong body to withstand its immense power.
Moments later, an invigorating energy surged through Dax's mind, sharpening all his senses.
**2nd Stage of Awakening: Brain Nourishing Complete.**
Dax whispered to himself, "I hope I acquire an F-rank trait."
*...*
*...*
**Trait Acquired: {Predator} - S Rank**
**Predator:** The user possesses the will of the Beast Emperor, gaining +10 to all stats.
"Damn it!" Dax exclaimed, realizing the potion's potency was beyond his expectations.
"Wash your neck, you're dead!" the guard shouted, his voice filled with fury.
"Human, do you see the chaos you've caused?" Korg retreated to a corner, panic evident in his tone.
The guard stormed into the cellar, sword raised and ready to strike. Dax met his fierce gaze with an unsettling calm, welcoming the threat he posed.
"Ahh! Embrace me," a voice echoed within Dax's mind—it was his own voice.
Instantly, smoke curled from Dax's lips as his breathing steadied. A chilling light danced in his eyes, revealing his intent for blood.
*This fool shows no desire to evade,* Korg thought, watching in astonishment. He couldn't shake the feeling that Dax was far from ordinary, his aura radiating an unsettling energy.
The guard hesitated, terror gripping his heart as he recognized the monster he had provoked. "Fascinating. I've never encountered demons in my world. What does your heart taste like?" Dax advanced toward the guard, piercing his hand through his chest with ease.
Dax peered into the depths of the guard's chest, removing his heart. It was covered in a purple glow, drawing him in.
*Master, you have encountered the essence of origin.*
"Demon, you possess a remarkable heart," Dax said, savoring the moment.
With a decisive bite, Dax consumed it.
**+50 Origin.**
**Skill Acquired: Demonic Scales Lv0.**
**+10 Mana.**
**+10 Psychic Energy.**
**+1 Demon Bloodline.**
Looking down at his chest, disbelief washed over him. A deep hole gaped open where the guard's heart had been. At that moment, the guard was surviving on his second heart.
"Human! He possesses a second heart!" Korg exclaimed, drawing Dax's attention.
In that instant, the guard, fueled by urgency, contracted his muscles, closing the gaping hole in his chest. His face was pale with shock, but he managed to stagger to his feet, his second heart pounding furiously. "An inmate is escaping!" he screamed, his voice echoing through the stone halls.
Dax watched him run like a predator watching its prey. Seeing this, he smiled, revealing his cruel side.
At this moment, Dax was engrossed in his stats.
**Origin Eater (Unlocked).**
*Master, you are going to experience a forceful race change. Good luck.*
