Evolution and Divine Dragon Arts
Tti-ring!
[Level up!]
[You are now level 20.]
[Level Max; Prestige 1]
[Exp: 100000/100000]
[Prestige ready.]
Me and Divinus walked out of the Okapi forest, we had just returned from a job which required us to exterminate a bunch of pests terrorizing people in the forest.
We were doing this for experience as a "hero." Divinus has visited the hero academy, and they had this quest board thing. So this was like one of those quests.
It also looks like I can prestige again.
[Prestige?]
Yes.
[Congratulations, you are now prestige 2!]
Great. Now I believe evolution is next.
[Evolve?]
Hmm...maybe I should wait till I'm alone.
Let me check my stats now.

[Abilities]
Fire Magic, Wind Magic, Water Magic, Terra Magic, Lightning Magic, Ice Magic, Dark Magic, Light Magic, Spatial Magic...
Yes, I was able to learn Spatial Magic from Divinus. Now I can carry stuff without really carrying them.
"Divinus, I'll be over there soon. I have some...business to take care of."
"I see, I'll see you later."
Divinus transformed into his dragon form and flew off.
"Ok...well, that was easy."
[Evolve?]
Yes.
Ding!
Then I felt a bizarre feeling in my back.
"Gah!!!"
I fell onto my knees. This pain, it hurts. Is this really how I'm going to evolve?!
[Pick a path...]
Huh?
[Divinity, Draconic, Demonic...]
3 choices...
[Fusion choice...]
Oh wait, there's more.
[DxD]
Huh? What kind of choice is that?
[DxD: A random picking between 3 choices. You could get DivinityxDemonic, DraconicxDemonic, or DivinityxDraconic.]
I see, so it's a 2 in 1 choice. That's interesting. Is it possible to get all of them at the same time though?
...
Nothing... looks like no cheats for me this time.
What does each choice do?
[Divinity: Possess heaven's might and defeat your enemies with divine power. Required prestige for future evolution: 10, 30, 75.]
Hmm, that looks interesting. What's next?
[Draconic: Wield immense strength and crush your foes with the ancient power of dragons. Required prestige for future evolution: 9, 34, 69.]
[Demonic: Obtain the spirits of evil and destroy your opponents with the power of the devil. Required prestige for future evolution: 13, 40, 72]
Jeez, that last one is dark... Let's look at the fusion choices now.
[DxD: Depending on the choice you get. Prestige required for DxD: 50, 75, 100]
Wow... getting to that prestige is going to be hard. Maybe I should stick with the singular choices.
...
But then, the fusion choices require higher prestige to evolve since it's a 2 in 1. So maybe I should go with a fusion choice. But it's like a lottery, so I don't know which one I will get.
...
But then again, it doesn't matter which one I get, they're probably all op.
So I guess I should go for DxD.
[Select DxD?]
Yes.
[...]
[DxD selected.]
[Spinning wheel...]
Then a holographic wheel appeared in front of me with the 3 choices.
It began spinning.
(Sound effects of a wheel spinning)
Then it slowly came to a stop and landed on-
[Congratulations, your evolution path is DivinityxDraconic.]
Ding!
[Race: Nephilim (Divine Dragon)]
So I've become a Divine Dragon, huh? Though, I guess I'm still a Nephilim.
Flap!
"Huh? What was that?"
I thought I just heard wings flapping.
Then I noticed a wing-shaped shadow looming over me. I got up and looked over my shoulder.
Turns out, the wing noises were coming from me. I had a set of angel wings and another tiny set of wings, which were of a dragon's below my set of angel wings.
"That's sick! But maybe I should get rid of the dragon wings or else everyone would find out."
I'm not trying to attract a lot of attention, and I certainly don't want to be seen as a dragon, even though I want to.
I retracted my dragon wings into my back and left my angel wings out.
"Guess I should try flying."
I slowly tried flapping my wings. Turns out it's pretty easy. Just gotta try controlling my movements a bit.
"Hmm, now that I've prestige, I should aim for the next one. Wonder what's next."
I opened up my status window and looked at the prestige info.
[Prestige 3: Aura Ascension; Prestige 4: Skill unlock; Prestige 5: Receive Aberrant Magic Prestige 6: Stat Boost; Further Prestiges: ???]
So the next prestige is an aura upgrade. I think it's blazing next. Ok, guess I should get training.
10 more years till I go to that "Hero Academy."
***
A year passed...
Yelp!
A faint cry of a dying wolf.
[You have slain a Crimson Barbed Wolf Alpha.]
[You received 10000 exp.]
[Level up!]
[You are now level 40.]
[Level Max; Prestige 3]
[Exp: 200000/200000]

[Prestige ready.]
Good... all this training got me pretty far. Now that I've taken care of the hive of Crimson Barbed Wolves, I can go back.
"It seems you've missed a few."
Divinus said, looking into a den. I walked next to him and also looked inside.
[Level * Crimson Barbed Wolf Omega]
[Level * Crimson Barbed Wolf Pup]
These were the names that popped above this little group of wolves.
"I didn't miss any. I just didn't want to kill them."
"Why not?"
"I think you know why I won't."
A pair of angel wings protruded from my back and I flew up into the air, leaving Divinus.
Honestly, he expects me to kill puppies? I would kill those omega's if I wanted to but if I did, those pups would've had to survive on their own. I'm not that cruel.
Anyway, I think it's time I prestige.
[Prestige?]
Yes.
[Congratulations, you are now prestige 4.]
Tti-ring!
[You have learned a new ability: Divine Dragon Arts]
Divine...Dragon Arts?
Oh, I see. Since I've become a "Divine Dragon", I need to use the power of a Divine Dragon.
Guess I should ask Divinus to train me.
But first.
Let's see what kind of skills I can use with Divine Dragon Arts.
[Divine Dragon Arts Locked]
What? Why?
[Intelligence not enough, Divine Dragon Arts Locked until Intelligence reaches 1000+]
Damn it, I have to keep reading!
Well, guess training with Divinus is going to have to wait till I get enough intelligence.
Now, what's next?
[Prestige 5: Receive Aberrant Magic Prestige 6: Stat Boost; Prestige 7: Stat Boost; Prestige 8: Stat Boost; Further Prestiges: ???]
What is Aberrant Magic?
[Aberrant Magic: Aberrant Magic is magic that is regarded as personal magic. Every living being will have their own kind of Aberrant Magic. For example, someone can have Flame Bender, a type of Aberrant Magic that only 1 person can get. It is infrequent for two people to possess the same kind of Aberrant Magic. It is also infrequent for someone to possess more than one Aberrant Magic. The average age to receive Aberrant Magic is the age of 7.]
Age of 7? That's next year. Do I have to wait until I'm 7? Well, not really, since I can get it on my next prestige.
But I should go on a break since I have some reading to do. I do want to learn some Divine Dragon Arts after all.
<>
After telling Divinus that he was going to learn Divine Dragon Arts, he went to the library and started studying, increasing his intelligence stat.
And so, another year passed.
