[Status: Stabilization Phase]

[Dimensional Adaptation: In Progress]

[Warning: Psychological Changes Detected]

Ethan's new form vibrated with dimensional energy, each pulse reminding him how far he was straying from his humanity. The luminescent patterns on his skin formed complex spirals that danced to the rhythm of the surrounding energy currents, like a living map of a universe he was only beginning to understand.

In his mind, memories of the laboratory merged with new sensations. He could see Professor Chen's worried face, remembered their long discussions about the ethics of their experiments. "Evolution has its own rules, Ethan," he often said. "We can't always predict where it will lead us."

If only you could see me now, Professor...

[Dimensional Energy Concentration: Critical]

[Warning: Growing Instability Within 200m Radius]

[Note: Patterns Similar to Laboratory Readings]

The energy flows around him were becoming erratic, horrifically reminiscent of the last moments before the accident. Ethan felt a familiar fear rising within him, but this time it was different. His new body reacted not with terror, but with a kind of predatory anticipation.

Am I losing my humanity... or evolving into something that transcends such notions?

The ground trembled. The air charged with static electricity, making purple energy arcs dance between the luminescent patterns on his skin. Then, with a crack that reminded him of the sound of his hopes and normal life shattering, space itself tore open.

The dimensional rift that appeared was like a twisted mirror of the portal that had changed his life. But this time, he wasn't the helpless victim. He was the predator, the observer, the scientist.

[Survival Probability: 35%]

[Note: Partially Human Genetic Signatures Detected]

The forms that emerged from the rift were biomechanical nightmares, their bodies merging flesh and dimensional energy in a way that would have fascinated the old Ethan in his laboratory. Their carapaces glowed with the same purple radiance as his skin, but there was something more in their movements... a trace of consciousness, an echo of lost humanity.

They were human, Ethan realized with a mixture of horror and compassion. Before... before all this.

[Tactical Guide]

[Recommendation: Use Environment]

[Available Abilities:]

Dimensional Camouflage

Energy Manipulation (Basic)

Partial Metamorphosis

[Personal Note: Traces of Human Behavior Observed]

The hunters deployed with military precision that couldn't be merely instinctive. The alpha, a twisted mass of purple flesh and dimensional crystals, observed with a calculating intelligence that made Ethan shiver. In its movements, he recognized the methodology of a scientist.

Activating his dimensional camouflage, Ethan felt the energy twist around him. It was like folding a complex equation, manipulating the variables of reality itself. The scientific part of his mind was amazed, even in the midst of danger.

[Alert!]

[Camouflage Partially Effective]

[Analysis: Targets Using Advanced Search Protocols]

[Suggestion: Exploit Their Scientific Methodology]

The creatures hunted like a trained team, using formations that reminded Ethan of laboratory search strategies. Methodical. Precise. Human.

They retain their intelligence... but have they kept their humanity?

Focusing, Ethan began manipulating the energy around him in a way he would never have thought possible just hours ago. He created echoes of his energy signature, like quantum mirages dancing in the distorted space.

The alpha emitted a sound that wasn't quite a scream - it was more like a command, a word distorted by a throat no longer made for human language.

[Combat Initiated!]

[Tactical Analysis in Progress]

[Weaknesses Identified:]

Coordination Revealing Human Origin

Predictable Attack Patterns Due to Methodology

Possible Internal Conflict Between Instinct and Intelligence

[Note: Targets Show Signs of Residual Consciousness]

The battle that followed was a macabre dance between science and savagery. Ethan dove into the ground, his body changing and adapting as he had studied so many times in other organisms in his laboratory. The transformation was painful but fascinating - each cellular modification was a living lesson in advanced biology.

[Partial Metamorphosis Activated]

[Modification: Offensive Structure]

[Energy Consumed: 15%]

[Note: Transformation Guided by Scientific Knowledge]

His body developed sharp appendages that glowed with dimensional energy. But unlike previous transformations, this one was controlled, precise. He used his understanding of biology to guide the changes, merging science and instinct in a unique way.

The hunters attacked in formation, but Ethan could read their intentions in their movements. He recognized the patterns, the logic behind their attacks. It was like a deadly experimental protocol.

We're all scientists here, he thought with sadness tinged with determination. Trapped in our greatest experiment.

[Combat Learning]

[New Tactics Discovered]

[Combat Experience: +5%]

[Note: Successful Integration of Scientific Methodology]

The first hunter fell, its body dissolving in a reaction that would have deserved hours of laboratory study. The second was trapped in a spatial distortion that Ethan had created by applying his knowledge of quantum physics to his new powers.

This is more than mere survival... it's directed evolution.

The alpha was still observing, its luminescent patterns changing in complex ways. In these configurations, Ethan recognized equations, formulas, fragments of scientific knowledge translated into pure energy.

[Dimensional Communication Established]

[Translation in Progress...]

[Message Detected: "Colleague... trapped like you... evolution is the only way out..."]

The exchange that followed was brief but profound. The alpha - or what remained of it - communicated using mathematical formulas and scientific concepts translated into energy pulses. It was the universal language of science, warped by their new reality.

But the communication was brutally interrupted. The alpha transformed, its body warping into impossible geometry that defied all biological logic. It was science pushed beyond its limits, evolution gone mad.

[Critical Danger!]

[Threat Level Reassessed]

[True Alpha Level: 8]

[Analysis: Transformation Guided by Advanced Scientific Knowledge]

The ensuing battle was as much an exchange of knowledge as a physical confrontation. Each attack was a demonstration of scientific principles twisted by dimensional energy. Ethan learned more in a few minutes of combat than in years of research.

There's logic in this madness, he realized. A method in this mutation.

Using his newly acquired understanding, Ethan focused his energy on the dimensional rift itself. It was like rewriting the laws of physics in real-time, an act of simultaneous creation and destruction.

The alpha retreated, recognizing the maneuver. Its final words resonated not in the air, but directly in Ethan's mind, carried by waves of dimensional energy:

"WE WERE RESEARCHERS. NOW WE ARE SUBJECTS. EVOLVE. UNDERSTAND. SURVIVE."

The rift closed in an implosion of purple energy, taking with it the last traces of these beings who, like him, had been transformed by their quest for knowledge.

[Combat Ended]

[Experience Gained: +32%]

[Current Level: 1 (89.8%)]

[Evolution Imminent]

[Note: Significant Integration of Scientific Data]

Exhausted but transformed, Ethan let his body absorb the residual energies of the battle. Each new ability acquired was like a page from a scientific manual written in genetic code and dimensional energy.

I'm no longer simply a researcher or a creature, he realized. I've become the ultimate experiment.

[Post-Combat Analysis]

[Permanent Mutations Recorded]

[New Abilities Unlocked:]

Advanced Dimensional Communication

Spatiotemporal Manipulation Scientifically Guided Metamorphosis

[Warning: Convergence Between Human Consciousness and Dimensional Evolution]

The patterns on his skin, once chaotic, now formed complex equations, formulas dancing to the rhythm of his thoughts. He was no longer a prisoner of his transformation - he was becoming its master, both researcher and research subject.

Professor Chen was right, Ethan thought. Evolution has its own rules. But with the right understanding, we can guide them.

[Evolution Available]

[Level 2 Accessible]

[Warning: Next Phase Will Merge Science and Mutation]

[Question: Are You Ready to Transcend the Limits of Research?]

In the sky troubled by dimensional energy, patterns formed that strangely resembled experimental data, living graphs of a mutating reality. Somewhere, beyond known dimensions, other researchers were watching, waiting, evolving.

I'm ready, thought Ethan, his scientific mind finally fully embracing his new nature. This is more than evolution... it's a revolution.
