“Not bad, but this experience bar though. System, is there a way to see my actual progress in more detail? This bar will become difficult to read when I reach higher levels.”
[Do you wish to change it to a traditional style?]
‘Traditional? Hope it’s the normal number system.’ “Yes.”
[…]
The experience bar animatedly changed from just a bar, to numbers that showed the required experience for the next level up, and the current points accumulated.
“This is it. Perfect.”

“Now, I can track my progress more accurately. 8,000 experience points to advance from level 10? Damn. Makes me wonder how much it will cost when I advance to higher levels.”
Victor used that time to also confirm some things about the process of evolution. According to the system, Victor would have full control over the process in future processes, and he could only possess two forms at a time, which means, whenever he decides to get a new form, he would have to cast out one of the two forms he already has.
This part of the system that dealt with evolution opened up a whole new world for Victor to experiment. From what he knew so far, apart from the stats and skills a creature possesses, their biological and racial properties also play a role in how strong they are overall. For example, elves are more sensitive to mana than most races, which means it’s far easier for them to become good magicians than say humans. Most scaled animals, especially those of higher levels have extremely though scales, which increases their defensive abilities. Creatures with stronger or more compact muscles would be stronger than other creatures in the same level as they are able to exercise their strength and speed better. In short, the physical physic and mentality of a creature also affects their stats, and though it is not represented, it is also an important aspect. (A/N: I’m having a bit of a problem explaining this part, so I will elaborate more about it in future. Hope you guys understand it to some point though.)
With this, Victor saw the need to gain more evolution material from different monsters. He also made up his mind on the two forms he would be having.
For the first form, which would be his base form, Victor wanted something that would keep him looking as human as possible, so he chose not to evolve his base form into anything that would make him not look like a normal human, or at least, close.
His second form would be the monstrousity he would create. The second form would basically be a lab rat, and his goal for it was is to make it as strong and powerful as possible.
“I still don’t know the specifics of the evolution thing. There are so many ways it can occur, will it be a full transformation? Or will it be more of like removing the imperfections and adding the other parts from other races? Hmm, I wonder.” Victor said, as he walked through the first floor.

[System analysis complete. Fiery tailed wolf has been analyzed]
“Finally. System, explain how to go about this part of… the system.” ‘Feels weird to say that.’
[A 3 dimensional image of what you will look like after the evolution will be displayed, along with different information for each]
“Hmm.”
Just like that, the system brought to display two options.
..
-Fiery Zombie
-Fiery Zombie Wolf
Victor wasted no time and picked the first option, and as he did, the system interface before his eyes expanded several times, until it was as long as the distance between his head and his waist. Then, a 3 dimensional image appeared on the panel. Looking at the image was like looking at the real thing in real life, it was so realistic.
“Wow.. Even 4k TVs don’t display pictures this good!” Victor said in amazement.
Using his mind, he turned the 3d model of the fiery zombie around to see all the angles after looking at its frontal section a bit. The structure looked just like a zombie, but its entire body was on fire, and he could also spot small cracks on its skin where the fire seemed to be emitting from. The fiery zombie’s fingers also looked a bit sharper and pointed than his own fingers at the moment. “Sick! Let’s see the other option.” He said, as he left that section and entered the zombie wolf.
The fiery zombie wolf looked just like a normal fiery tailed wolf, except that it was a bit larger in size, though just marginal. It’s tail was on fire , and it looked a dull with some spots on it’s skin missing a few patches of hair.
“Hmm, not bad. Seems like the first option just added a few properties from the wolf onto the zombie, and the second one did the same, just reversed.” As victor studied more both options, his mind was already set on the one he was going to pick, but still…
“Maybe I shouldn’t evolve now? Yeah, I shouldn’t. There’s something else I have to test.”
Through the system and with his own knowledge, Victor knew that the human body had very limited potential in growth, so being able to evolve could be considered one of the best gifts he had gained from the system. This meant that, depending on how he used this evolution tree, he will essentially transcend mortal bounds, at least over the peak of humanity.
His current form was derived from evolving his base zombie form, the one he had when he first got to this world, with a human. Victor couldn’t help but wonder what would happen, if he was to gain more zombie material and evolve further as a zombie. Although Zombies didn’t exist on earth, at least, not to his knowledge, there were a lot of theories and view of what a zombie was.
While many saw zombies as mindless dead bones covered with stacks of rotten flesh, others saw them as people that might have been infected by some virus or similar, and had been turned to mindless flesh eaters. Some imagined them as slow, while others as fast. There were many depictions of zombies that showed them to be almost superhuman, being able to use the body’s muscles up to a 100%, and never tire as their stamina was almost limitless. All these were depictions thought out by different people from Victor’s original world.
Since Victor himself had experienced being a bone structure covered with stacks of rotten flesh, and now was just like the zombies that were depicted as superhuman, though only in appearance, he began to think if it was actually possible to become superhuman. With a form that is able to unleash up to 100% of its body’s capabilities and never tires out, that would be the perfect base/foundation for him to build upon.
The only problem now, was how to get to this level. “Since evolution is possible, I can only test out my theory. That means my next meal targets will be zombies huh?” Victor said, as he once again rubbed his beardless chin. He never got to grow more than just some hair under his chin, and now he couldn’t exactly grow hair as a zombie. He will forever be beardless.
(Such a catastrophic realization for a man. Though, this author prefers a clean face.)
