As it is universally known, if a system or a thing has more energy, then it is less stable. If a system has less energy, it would be more stable and would be reaching an equilibrium point.
However, if life reaches an equilibrium point, it just means that the said being is dead!
Because of that, one must eat food and keep gaining energy to remain alive, that is, not reach equilibrium. But too much is too bad. If one gains too much energy and shifts to a complete opposite pole, then that could also lead to death!
This is what failure in evolution does!
When one level up, energy gets accumulated in the body. The base capacity rises each time and after reaching a certain level, one cannot level up unless he/she uses all the accumulated energy in either evolving or in something else.
In this world, evolving is the only task that a beast can do other than increasing its own base stats.
Therefore, if one fails to evolve, the energy will just be lost to the environment – meaning: the beast would lose a few levels. This is nature's way of giving another chance to live. But most beasts do not survive and end up dying.
Right now, since Shin used this excess energy for option evolution rather than self-body evolution, some amount of energy was left.
The system ended up using it to raise the base stats and now, Shin can level up normally once again.
*Ding*
[The evolution has been completed.]
[Skills gained during this evolution are:]
[Dragon Domain, Dragon Nova, Death Domain, Death Burst, Spider Domain, Thousand Eyes, Destruction Domain, and Calamity.]
[The base HP and MP have been raised.]
Shin's evolution had been completed. Although he didn't feel that he had grown stronger, he knew for sure that the new option and the previous evolved options will definitely help him a lot during his time of need.
Aella was outside even now, guarding the place so that no one comes and disturbs Shin.
Shin was serious about the evolution, and now that it was finally done, he could move on to the next step – claiming the rewards.
Now that he wasn't restricted by the level problem, he could easily claim the 10% increase in exp that is promised in tier one of the reward.
? He checked his current Exp percentage.
[ Race: Lv. 90 Lupus (Exp: 99.99%) ]
Just a mere 0.01% of Exp was required to level up!
He didn't hesitate to claim the reward and almost immediately, levelled up!
*Ding*
[Your Exp has increased by 10%.]
[You have leveled up.]
[Lv.90 -> Lv.91]
[All stats will be increased by 5 points.]
[10 stat points are added.]
[Atk: 3100|| Max. Atk: 4999]
[Def: 1100|| Max. Def: 4999]
[Spd: 2100|| Max. Spd: 9999]
[Int: 322|| Max. Int: 999]
[Stat points acquired: 1010]
These were the total increase in stats after leveling up just once! By evolving, he would have gotten 10 stat points extra, which now, seemed quite less.
He realized that after Lv.90s, he would be getting either 5 points rise in all stats or an even greater raise.
[ Race: Lv. 91 Lupus (Exp: 09.99%) ]
This was the new exp stat that he saw after leveling up.
He had claimed the first reward and it lived up to his expectations.
'Now on to the next one…'
He glanced at the rest of them.
The next reward in tier one was gaining the wolf God Shin's memories. While Shin was particularly interested in that, he thought that he wasn't ready yet to claim the reward.
If once something is known, it cannot be unknown.
Shin, who thought about himself and his clan's safety now, knew not how Shin's memories were going to help him. So rather than claiming that right away, he waited.
'Lv. 100…'
'That is the point where I decide to become a Celestial.'
'And I think, getting his memories in that level will be a better idea.'
He was already under a lot of stress as he was being targeted by strong entities so he couldn't afford to dwell on someone else's memories and stories right now!
He may claim this reward after being safe – after seeking help from Heavenly Wolf Family. But if he were to claim right now, he would get nothing other than many more useless thoughts, burdens, and stress!
Therefore, he skipped this reward.
He went ahead with tier 2 now, as the rewards there seemed decent. The same was true with tier 3. All of them were either skills or items.
Without any hesitation, he claimed the rewards from tiers 2 and 3 at the same time.
*Ding*
[You have gained the skill Future Sight.]
[ Lv.1 allows the user to glance 1 second into the future ]
[ With an increase in level, the host can glance deeper into the future ]
*Ding*
[You have gained the skill Bloody Impact.]
[ A 360 degrees blast causing a critical hit and guaranteed bleeding effect if the target is within the radius of the skill ]
Other than these two skills, he gained two items – one was a familiar one and the other was something that he had seen for the first time.
A drop of Phoenix's blood – he already had two drops with him. He had never used it on anyone nor did he have the chance to use it.
Now that he had gained another drop, this made it totally 3 drops!
This meant that he could save himself or basically revive three times if he used the item within 2 minutes after dying.
The other item was a Wolf Claw Attachment and it was specifically mentioned that it was of wind-type.
[ An item that could be attached to the claws of a wolf. ]
[ Increases durability of the claws ]
[ Increases attack power of all the spells of wind attribute by 5% ]
The only thing that he thought after seeing the wolf attachment was, 'This will be perfect for Aella.'
'Hmm, but I will give it to her later.'
'Something else comes first.', seriousness could be seen in his eyes as he thought this.
