Chapter 25: Evolution choices
Keith and Merlin were currently sitting on top of branch of a very tall tree. Keith decided to distribute his extra stat point equally. He put 100 in strength, 100 in Agility, 100 in defense and 100 in Intellect. He stared at his Status panel and smiled a little bit.

[Intellect: 1060]
Merlin decided to keep his extra stat points for now since his stats were already high enough anyway. Merlin then noticed that they got an evolution point. They already had feeling why they got an evolution point but they asked the system just to confirm.
[You get an evolution point when you kill a boss monster that is higher than your rank]
"System show me how dragons and onis are ranked?" Keith asked in a slightly polite tone.
[You already know this information so why I waste my precious time explaining something you already know, old man] the system replied mockingly.
"What did you just call me?" Keith asked with an infuriated expression. His killing intent and bloodlust where off the charts to the point that the sky turned crimson red.
[I called you old man] the system replied.
"I might be 7014 human years old but in Celestial years I am just 17 years old!" Keith bellowed in anger. Keith didn't like being called an old man even though he was old but what he said right now was true. Fun Fact, he once killed a human serial killer who called him old.
[Yeah, you are still old man no matter how you try to justify yourself]
Keith fuming with rage at this moment and time. He took in a deep breath and calmed down. "Just show me for the readers sake."
[If there is someone actually reading this book] the system said in a hushed tone.
"What did you say!?" Keith bellowed in anger.
[Nothing at all]
[These are the rank of an oni from weakest to strongest: Unranked Oni these onis are usually seen in Japanese folklore. The onis above this rank have more humanlike features than the unranked onis. Lesser Onis, Lower onis, Higher onis, Upper onis, Oni Generals, Chaos Sin Candidate, Chaos Sins, Oni King and the legendary Oni Deity]
"What oni rank am I?" Keith asked.
[You are a Chaos Sin Candidate] the system replied.
"So, all I have to do is to kill a Chaos Sin," Keith murmured to himself. In Oni tradition, a Chaos Sin Candidates have to challenge and kill a Chaos Sin in order to become a Chaos Sin. So, Keith can't use an evolution point on the oni part of his DNA. He let out a sigh and asked the ranks of dragon and a human.
[The ranks of a dragon from weakest to strongest are: Unranked dragon, Lesser dragon, Lower dragon, Higher dragon, Upper dragon, Dragon Monarch Candidate, Dragon Monarch, Dragon King and Asura]
"What dragon rank am I? Keith asked. The system that he is a Dragon Monarch Candidate. Dragon tradition was less brutal than oni tradition, a Dragon Monarch Candidate is just supposed to fight a Dragon to the point that they had relinquish their title but they have been some cases where Dragon Monarch Candidates haves killed Dragon Monarchs.
Keith let out another sigh and realized that he had to fight a Dragon Monarch and Chaos Sin to evolve. He first had to find a dragon monarch and a chaos sin and find a way to force them into a death battle.
[The ranks for humans from weakest to strongest: Mortal, Sage, Warrior, Demigod and Deity]
"What is my human rank?"
[Your rank is Warrior]
Keith ordered the system to evolve him from Warrior to Demigod.
[This process will take a very long time but if you increase your Se reserves and use all of it, the process will take less than ten second]
Keith agreed and got into a lotus position.
***
Now let me explain to me give partial information on how Se actually works. Se also known Supernatural Energy is a universal energy. Seventy-five percent of a universe is made up Supernatural Energy. Only one in a hundred people can use Se and only one in one billion can fully understand the true power of Se.
Every person who can use Se has two cores, one in their soul and one in their body. Se requires you to have to have strong body so that the backlash of a Se ability doesn't kill you. It also requires you to have a mind that can process information one hundred thousand times faster than a normal human being's brain.
***
Keith was absorbing a tremendous amount of Se in his body. After a few minutes of absorbing Se, his Se reserves had increased.
[Se: 100 000 000]. Keith then used up all of his Se reserves and he is evolution was complete.
[Ding!!]
[Add 150 to all stats]
[Due to your evolution, you have received a new skill, (Demigod's might). This skill increases your stats by 20%]

"Where is Merlin?" Keith asked himself.
"I am right here," Merlin replied.
Keith turned around and saw that something was different about Merlin. He removed his mask and said, "You look taller."
"So do you," Merlin said.
"I guess that you are Blood Progenitor," Keith said.
"What gave it off?" Merlin asked, a hint of curiosity evident in his voice
"Only the blood of a vampire can make your short ass taller." As soon as those words left Keith's mouth, he was punched in the head by Merlin and was sent flying into a nearby mountain.
