Evolution Conclusion

'I will choose… Arch-human.

It's not because the other choices are bad… It is just my personal curiosity to see what the natural evolution of humans looks like.

Ever since the dawn of humankind, we have all been sandwiched between angels and demons with no way to get past those two. I want to see if this evolution can change that.

Considering the strengths of angels and demons, it isn't that far-fetched to assume that humans can achieve similar levels.

According to the system, I can just evolve back to human and then choose another race again. I'm pretty sure evolution doesn't work that way but I will roll with it.

So Arch-Human it is.'

'Alright, more choices. Let's analyze all of them.

Physical strength is self-explanatory. The system is asking me if I want to be a particularly buff version of an arch-human who specializes in total physical force. I don't know how much the other attribute suffers from this choice so I will put it on hold. The same goes for the other attribute function.

Physical combat is probably a mix of everything that came before it. If I want my body to be an all-rounder in all fitness-related areas, then I should probably choose this one.

The same goes for magic combat. If I want to focus on magic overall then this one is the better choice.

Mixed combat is most likely physical and magic combat mixed together. I don't know if both suffer from their efficiency reduced in exchange for versatility so this one is least likely.

Mental capacity would have been the best back on earth. Imagine having a body that is specially built for maths and memorizing. But it doesn't sound as good as others before it though. Being smart is always a gain but being smart does not translate to strength.

The description of smart is vague in the first place. Does it make me quasi or semi-omniscient, does it boost my comprehension attribute to inhumane levels or is it something else?

I will pass on this one.

Charm probably makes me handsome as hell, fertility is useless, and reproduction is even useless since it is the middle ground between these two.

Survivability, now this one sounds promising. Does it help me gain resistance skills faster? That would be useful. Getting every resistance skill there is could go a long way.

Longevity is… complicated. It could fix one of Arch-humans' critical weaknesses but I don't know if it would be effective since they don't live long to begin with. At best, it would prolong my life span for a bit, and at worst, it would do nothing. It is better to forget about this one since I probably could evolve further or de-evolve and try out the other evolutions before my life span as an arch-human runs out.

Command. It is basically a commander's power. Like, if I became a king of a country, then with this, people would be more inclined to follow me than if I didn't have it. Useless.

So in the end, I will choose mixed combat. I'm sure that I can recover the advantages I lost by choosing the function that covers the most area by gaining more classes, using equipment, and upgrading the system.

[Select the secondary prime function]

'Oh. I guess I would go for survivability then.'

[Are you satisfied with your choices?]

'Yeah, I can always do it again so this one is mostly an experiment. The greatest system gotta have the best body and I can't find the best body without experimenting.'

[The optimization has concluded]

[The host will go into a coma during the remaining period]

With that, Aster's ego sank into darkness once more and the bloody cocoon that used to be his former body is used to construct a new, stronger, and better body.
