12 Evolution
Apophis drove his motorcycle for three hours until he reached the continent “Dawn.” It was a long journey that took him across a desert full of lvl 4 creatures.
At lvl 4, most monsters were resistant to common firearms, so he’d need to deal final blows in hand to hand combat.
He’d prepared well, having bought a complete set of Common Armor and equipping one of the two service weapons he’d looted from the police officers in front of the hospital.
This seemed like a good place to grind until lvl 5. According to his calculations, it would take Apophis six hours of intensive farming to reach his goal.
So he got to work attacking the first creature he saw.
[Gobi Desert Coyote] [Level: 4] [Rank: F] [Hostility: Hostile]

A BILLION MILES AWAY
Admiral Azerof of the Federation of United Planets read the planetary sent by Era.
[0)ᴠʟ According to his experts on staff, the manifestation of these Eternals was a phenomenon of cosmic origin. Due to the potential scale of the threat, Admiral Azerof needed to go and immediately take control of the situation.
To fulfill this mission, the admiral had requisitioned a Cruiser and three Corvettes, as well as several hundred troop transports. According to his chief logistics officer, the trip would take one week at sublight speed.

APOPHIS—GOBI DESERT
It had been five hours since Apophis began fighting coyotes and other creatures in the Gobi Desert, and he was finally at 99% of his EXP bar!
Finally, he finished off one last creature and heard the sound he was waiting for.
*Level 5 achieved*
Finally! Now it was time for him to evolve.
Standing atop a hill, far away from the interference of any monsters, Apophis clicked on the character menu and selected the “Race” submenu.
*Please select from the available evolutionary paths.*
Evolved Human [Tier 1]: Humanity has ascended, gaining the ability to use its internal cosmic energy.
Due to not having completed any quests or obtained any items to provide other options, this was the only choice. Apophis selected it and felt a strong energy heat his blood.
The evolution process took about ten minutes and was surprisingly pleasant…
Afterward, he inspected the character menu.
