“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
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 pani
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
