Time seemed to be in a state of stasis.
Everything felt so stale, so static, so out of this world.
Everything felt so dark…, yet it all ended with a bright spark lit up by a loud voice that reverberated in its head.
‘State the Darwin theory of evolution!’
Blink!
A pair of eyes snapped open with a jolt, urgency evident in them despite the grogginess of sleep and tiredness showing.
The eyes flickered as this existence instantly entered deep thought.
This existence did not think about its surroundings neither did it think about itself, the first thought that entered its mind was giving the answer.
'The Darwin theory of evolution is also known as the theory of natural selection and it was proposed by Charles Darwin’.
‘It is the theory also known as the survival of the fittest’.
‘According to the theory, some organisms contain traits and characteristics that are more suitable to the surrounding environment’.
‘Is that all?!’ The voice roared in its head again.
‘F*ck! No!’ He panicked as it cracked its brain in thought.
‘C-Charles Darwin…,’ He stuttered. ‘He stated that these organisms were the ones to live longer and hence were able to reproduce to pass these desirable traits to their offspring’.
‘The organisms who didn’t possess these favorable traits would perish in the environment and hence their traits will not be passed down to the generation after the organism’.
‘Is that all?!’ The voice roared again.
‘One of the most important points to keep in mind about the theory of evolution by natural selection is that individuals don’t necessarily evolve, they just adapt to the surrounding environments that they have’.
‘Good’. The voice finally commended in a lowered tone.
‘Now, state the mutation theory of evolution!’
‘Yes, Professor Gagam!’
This existence was about to crack its brain and start answering again when it suddenly paused.
It looked around. ‘Where the f*ck am I?’
By now, the grogginess that seemed to have been induced by sleep was starting to disappear a bit as it started regaining clarity to its brain.
This existence looked around in confusion as memories started returning.
The first thing that he felt was relief.
‘Phew!’
‘For a second there, I thought Professor Gagam was really testing my intelligence again but I guess it’s just the normal nightmares’.
‘But, what in the name of all midgets am I doing here?’
‘And, where is this…?!’ He paused mid-sentence as he remembered something.
‘Ahh…, I survived?’ His eyes widened in shock.
The last memory he had was being strapped tight to the surgical bed.
He could still remember the Professor’s fanatical gaze fixated on him even as worry mixed with it and as he kept on reminding him about the basics.
‘Eliot, don’t blank out on me’.
‘Stay with me boy…, you can do it’.
‘Keep on stating the basics’.
He remembered the professor slapping him on the face to keep him awake.
‘Stay awake boy!’
‘State the Darwin theory of evolution!’ He demanded.
Instinctively, he complied with the order.
‘State the Mutation theory of evolution!’ Professor Gagam demanded.
‘…’
‘State the Synthetic theory of evolution!’ He demanded again and once again, he complied.
He finally remembered everything.
His name was Eliot and he was the personal assistant to the greatest evolutionary biologist that ever lived, Professor Jonah Gagam, the lead scientist of the International Institute of Biological Evolution.
After decades of research, Professor Gagam claimed to have discovered the secret to infinite evolution, the secret that would allow humanity to break all imaginable limits and attain immortality.
He asked for human test subjects but his superiors refused.
In the end, out of options, Professor Gagam could only turn to his most reliable confidant and assistant, the ever-reliable Eliot.
Eliot became the scape goat.
Having blind faith and belief in his idol, Eliot obliged.
The last thing that he remembered was blacking out in the surgery room.
‘Did I survive?’ He thought.
‘Was the experiment a success?’
He felt some apprehension and excitement all at the same time. ‘Am I immortal now?’
More sober now, he finally focused on his surroundings.
“…!” Eliot’s jaws dropped in shock.
‘Where in the name of mother*cking Godzilla am I?’
At this moment, he seemed to be stuck in a sea of infinite black space.
And him?
At this moment, he could not classify himself as him.
He was just a speck of blue in this infinite black space.
He was an ethereal blue speck in this black space.
“…!”
Eliot almost farted his brain out at the mere sight of his ethereal blue body, his bladder quivered in trepidation, about to open the floodgates out of the sheer shock of this moment.
A thousand thoughts went through his mind at this moment.
‘It seems the experiment failed’. He felt disappointed.
‘So, am I dead?’
‘Is this hell because this is definitely no heaven!’
‘Damn, I really died a virgin!’
[Initiating Support System, please wait…]
Words appeared before him the next moment.
Eliot jolted in shock. ‘What is it this time?!’
‘Are the demons finally coming for my soul?’
[Support System initialized!]
[System boot engaged, please wait…]
[Booting successful!]
[Scanning host for banter!]
[Point found: Host is a virgin!]
[Virgin Eliot, you are dead!]
“…”
[Welcome to Utopia!]
“What the f*ck!” Eliot exploded, all his fears disappearing instantly after he was addressed by that remark.
“How dare you call me that?!”
“Who do you think you are?”
“I’ll call the police!”
“I’ll report you to the authori…!”
[Host has been temporarily muted!]
“Hmm mmm mmm!”
“Mmm mm!”
“…” Eliot was flabbergasted, he was just f*cking muted.

“What in the name of all mother*cking strippers?!”
BZZZ!
Eliot’s environment and body changed in an instant.
He developed into a mushroom-shaped tiny surface organism.
As for his environment?
At this moment, he found himself inside what seemed like an ocean of blood and thick flesh.
Well, this truly looked like inside hell.

Eliot looked at his surroundings.
He gulped. “Holy Jesus!”
The lines of words that he just saw floated through his head again.‘A system?’‘What the heck is a system?’‘It said a support system…, like in a support system for old people?’‘Damn, what in the name of all f*cking midgets is really going on?!’‘This is a dream’. He concluded.‘This must be a dream’.‘This can’t f*cking be real, right?’He suggested it, he wanted to belief it but the sense of urgency currently in his mind told him otherwise.Eliot froze, he was going crazy.‘Ok…, ok, I have no choice but to accept my circumstances, including the system no matter what the hell it is and where it came from’.‘First things first, though it sounds unbelievable, it says I’ve been reincarnated as a virus…,’ He paused in his mind. ‘A f*cking virus!’‘Who does that?!’The urgency pushed all the grogginess from his brain to think faster.‘It says something about Utopia…’‘Is this utopia, like the literal meaning?’‘Hell no!’ He rejected the thought immediately. ‘This is definitely no utopia
[Kickstarting evolution process…, please wait!][Process kickstarted!]The next moment after these lines of words appeared, mystical golden lights burst out of Eliot’s current mushroom-shaped body, blocking out all the thick blood and flesh surrounding him at this moment.Another magical process started.Eliot experienced a magical feeling that he had never experienced all his life before now. For a moment, he felt like his being was being remolded.He felt like a god-like architect or tailor with his needle and thread was working on him at this moment, sewing a more perfect version of him into existence and this process only lasted a few seconds.After what felt like just 5 seconds, it was done.All the golden mystical lights disappeared like they were never there.What followed first was the system lines of words again.[Congratulations Virgin Eliot!][You have made use of innate bloodline ability: Infinite Evolution!][You have unlocked a new Evolution Form: Salmon Fish][Evolution
Eliot took his time to take in all the excitement of this moment.From getting his first kill in this strange new world that he found himself, to evolving from a virus into a Salmon, to discovering his improved attributes, to confirming infinite evolution and the incredible source of knowledge, everything was a lot for him to take in at once.It took time for all the dopamine induced and the excitement of the moment to die down, this was when he finally became grounded in reality again.And, this was when he noticed some things that he ignored previously.‘Dash…, hmmm, that’s a skill fitting for a fish’.‘Bite…, nice, that sounds badass’.‘Devour…, that definitely sounds like the ability of a boss character, nice’.‘Camouflage…, uhhh, it’s giving me spy vibes, OP?’‘But…,’ He paused in his thoughts. ‘Mate…, what is that?’His expression in his new fish form became unnatural. ‘Umm…, how is that a skill? Damn, this support system must have been created by a pervert!’‘First, it calls me
“T-this…” He just kept stammering as his eyes widened in shock.“This…, is my family?!”Before Eliot at this moment, about 60 Chinook Salmon fish swam ahead of him as they seemed to follow a fish that led at the very front.“Brother! Come! The Chief is leaving!” The fish repeated.Still stunned but trying to adapt, Eliot finally focused on this fish.It was a purple Chinook Salmon just like him. Eliot could barely tell the difference between these Chinook fishes at this moment since a lot of them had purple color, with other colors varying among the others.They all looked similar to him but this guy was different.He was a tiny Chinook Salmon fish like him but calling him brother built an instinctive closeness between them.Eliot was amazed. ‘Is this one of the evolutionary traits of a Salmon?’‘They probably call everyone in their school brother’.‘It’s probably what keeps them cohesive as a school’.“Brother! Bonkers! The Chief is leaving!” The now impatient fish repeated.This tim
Eliot watched everything transpire.They more they ventured into this water and the calmer it became, the more suspicious he became which made him observe his surroundings more carefully.He was the first to notice the presence of the predator.He noticed the hole in the seabed that was covered with green leaves first and he instantly became suspicious but before he could react, he saw movement.“HISSS…!”The shrill hiss revealed its identity.Chief was at the front of this school but like a veteran kung fu master, he reacted first than any of the other Salmon as he dodged and swam away instantly.He swam away before he screamed for the others to run.The others were not so fast like him.CRUNCH!One bite was all it took for it’s venom to be injected and instantly that brother became paralyzed, with one gulp this snake swallowed its prey.Despite swallowing one Salmon already, its body size showed no change.Its predatory eyes darted about in search of the next prey.Bam!It’s speed a
Bzzz!Seeing the purple liquid come out and solidify to form the thick shield, instantly all 5 aggressive Piranhas became even more restless and aroused.These 5 Piranhas became more aggressive as they saw the shield.“Kill!” “Kill!” Kill!”They roared aggressively as a red mist suddenly surrounded them.Before they could do anything, the now incensed sea snake already started its counterattack as its long body rose up above the Piranhas.It opened its mouth the next moment, exposing its deadly fangs.“Magic Gland: Venom Spray!”With its mouth opened and its teeth exposed, the sea snake attacked the next moment as more of that dark purplish liquid came out this time from its teeth as it sprayed out like water coming out of a shower.This thick liquid touched the body of the 5 Piranhas and their skin sizzled as it started corroding.The reaction of the Piranhas?They became even more angry and aggressive.“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”They had to have some form of confidence to dare attack t
“…”“…”“…..”The battlefield became quiet.Yet, 2 Salmon Fish refused to come out of their hole.Inside that hole, they stayed as silent as a mouse in the presence of a cat, their gills working on overdrive as they kept on breathing heavily.Brother?This guy was traumatized by this encounter.Eliot?He was too shocked to move.‘Holy f*cking sh*t!’‘What in the name of all f*cking midgets did I just see?!’ He felt like he was going crazy, he fought had to prevent himself from screaming in disbelief.‘A sea snake that is able to control it’s venom to form a shield?’‘Damn…, that’s straight out of an anime!’‘I always knew Piranhas are some aggressive mother*ckers, but bruh…, all those red mists, those Spartan Rage sh*t, that’s crazy man!’‘Those guys are no longer Piranhas; those guys are f*cking Chihuahuas!’‘Then, that last boss that seemed straight out of a 90s action movie’.‘Damn, that Electric Eel was completely electric man!’‘That blue electric blast, I almost felt like it wou

“I want answers”.Elliot looked at the old man, Commander Aesop looked back at him and then he asked. “What answers?”Instead of answering, Elliot inclined his head to look at the laboratory.Seeing where he looked at, this Commander’s eyes flickered as a lot of things went through his mind.In the end, he asked. “Are you the one?”“Who?” Elliot looked back at this old man.Commander Aesop stood back on his feet. “Follow me”.This time, together alongside the old Commander, they went back to the laboratory.{Confidential Information:}{Clearance Level: Commander Aesop}Getting there, the old man said a single word.“Open”.Click!Without hesitation, the box with the information opened.As soon as the box opened, a voice reverberated from inside. “Only Elliot is allowed to open the contents of this box”.“The soul check will begin after 5 minutes of the box staying open”.“If you’re not Elliot, close the box, now!”Commander Aesop shuddered instinctively.That voice had no power, it wa
***[Congratulations! You have completed system mission: Become an Infinite Core Realm Beast or True Sage Realm Warrior!][You have been rewarded with a Legendary Single Species Evolution Orb!]***What held Elliot back since was because of his lacking power.But, finally becoming a True Sage Realm Warrior, Elliot no longer hesitated. He swaggered straight into the hidden vaults and laboratories of the Human Empire to find the answer to the questions and mysteries in his mind.What was the true secret of infinite evolution?How was his reincarnation successful?What happened to Professor Gagam?With all these in his mind, Elliot no longer cared about the consequences as he barged his way into the hidden vaults and laboratories of the Human Empire and by doing this, he riled up the Commanders of the Human Empire.Led by Commander Aesop, the other Commanders of the Human Empire rose up in arms against him with the still impersonating Commander Rage.As an upper echelon at the very highe

Precisely, to the rules of the world.He felt a close connection to mana than ever before.And finally, it was complete, it stopped.BZZZ![Congratulations Virgin Elliot!][You have made use of an Epic Single Species Evolution Orb!][You have awakened evolved form: Flood/Frost Lord- Leviathan King!][You have become a World Spark Realm Flood/Frost Lord- Leviathan King!][Your Sage Vision has improved!][You have awakened a World Spark!][Your at
The Shark Alliance did not know what hit them.To many of the higher-ups of this powerful alliance, they simply cheered on from the background as their Great Chief absolutely battered the impulsive fish.They never expected the tides to turn so swiftly though.To them, it felt like their worst nightmare.Elliot dd not just kill the leader of the Shark Alliance, but by killing it, he leveled up 4 times, taking one of his forms to the peak of the Gold Core Realm, making that form essentially the most dangerous in this battlefield.And since the Crimson Tonic’s effects were still active, Elliot did not hesitate, he pushed his advantage against the Shark Alliance.The army of the Salmon Fish clan that had been holed up in their labyrinth lairs for most of this war on their leader’s orders finally came out.ROAR!ROAR!!!ROAR…!!!Sea beast, sea fish, all kinds of them, so long they were part of the Salmon Fish clan, they rose up at this moment, following the clan chief’s leadership as they

With his 3 forms, at the same time, he went on a rampage as he killed left and right with impunity, cutting the combat formations of the sharks open like it was no man’s business. Whenever he unleashed a skill, to the spectators who had the privilege of witnessing it, it was almost like a hot knife cutting through butter. There was literally no resista
{Elliot, my patience has reached a limit, accept my demands now!}{Accept my demands or die with your clan.}{By the end of today, if I’m yet to receive a positive answer from you, I’ll be visiting the Thunder Reef tomorrow for a little sight-seeing.}{Goodluck, and long life.}{Sender: Great Chief Surgud.}In the letter, it said that the Great Chief of the Shark Alliance would be visiting by the end of today if he got no reply, but in actuality, his army already went ahead of him.From literally all sides, the scouts of the Salmon Fish clan led by Commander Bonkers detected them first as the army of the Shark Alliance came with fury.Literally, there were thousands of sharks coming from all sides.Hammerhead Sharks, Thresher Sharks, Great White Sharks, Blue Sharks, whatever type of shark that you could think of, in the thousands, they were trooping out towards the Heaving Gulf at this moment.Having angered Great Chief Surgud of the Shark Alliance completely already, Elliot expected
1 month later…The Thunder Reef already experienced lots of change.Since returning to the sea to take charge of his fish school again a month ago, the coral reef had undergone tremendous changes under Elliot’s leadership.Within a few days of his arrival, he conquered the full reef, got the map that made him understand the layout of the full sea and of course, he also started his quest to get stronger by attacking the Shark Alliance.For the past 1 month, the Thunder Reef had been at loggerheads with the Shark Alliance.To many who heard this, it would sound ridiculous.Afterall, the Shark Alliance territory was a main territory while the Thunder Reef was just one of about a dozen subsidiary territories under them.How can beasts from a subsidiary territory go against the sharks?This was what a normal outsider would ask, but to the sharks who were facing the heat of the frenzied fish, they could tell a better and more personal story.After the great victory against the first outpost
