[It’s your body’s response to trying to heal itself. But now, your body has reached a perfect state so when you evolve to a higher tier, there won’t be any overreactions.]

Hikaru nodded and asked, “So… how strong am I now?”

[Hm… it’s hard to say exactly but you are already 5 times stronger (Tier F–).]

[You could be said to be as strong as a small High Orc or an ordinary person in the Fantasy world.]

“Hm.. people in the Fantasy world are that strong?”

Hikaru was a bit surprised. That’s right, he had evolved his body twice, now, he might be 20-25 times stronger than when he first came to this world.

However, he was still only as strong as a small High Orc or an adult in the Fantasy world?

Hikaru sighed, the only consolation was that in this world, his strength was also considered as that of a superman.

But… Hikaru remembered Laylah, and he felt that it wasn’t enough.

Yes, Laylah was an element of mystery. He didn’t know if she was an ally or an enemy.

Her attitude made him not know how to deal with her. He also couldn’t kill Laylah because her luck was 150,000.

Besides, Laylah was very mysterious, and he didn’t have much information about her either.

Hikaru sighed, shook his head, and tried to stop thinking about Laylah.

After using the power evolution potion (F-), he still had a potion of power evolution potion. Hikaru thought that perhaps it should be left to Velys.

She was his ally anyway, no, she was his ally forever. Therefore, the stronger she was, the more she could help him.

Suddenly Hikaru asked Rika: “What if I sleep with Velys while she isn’t a free character?”

[Her character’s character will collapse, also there will be many problems that we don’t know. Maybe then she will betray you.]

Hikaru took a deep breath, he felt that maybe the system… no, maybe the Will of the World wanted him to be a single dog until he finished his mission in this world.

But then he shook his head again, that was fine. At least when he left this world, he wouldn’t feel any regrets.

…

Talent card (Tier F-): Armor Penetration

Name: Armor Penetration

Tier: F-

Description: When attacking, part of the damage from your attack will pierce through your opponent’s armor.

The harder the opponent’s armor, the less damage it penetrates.

…

Hikaru frowned, he felt that this talent was too useless. When the apocalypse came, the first monsters that would appear were Zombies.

Zombies had no armor except for high level zombies. But the armor of high-level Zombies was extremely thick and hard, even using grenades was not necessarily enough to be able to break their armor.

Therefore, this talent seemed to have no effect at all. Hikaru shook his head, it was only a Talent (Tier F-) after all, so he didn’t expect much from it anyway.

[Ding! You already have 3 similar skill cards of “Melee Mastery”, do you want to fuse them?]

“Agreed!” Hikaru saw the bulletin board in front of him and agreed.

[Ding! Successfully fused, you have gained the skill “Melee Mastery” (Tier F-).]

Hikaru felt that his strength had been greatly increased which made him feel more secure.

However, Hikaru then shook his head, he didn’t want to be arrogant. Anyway, he did not know clearly how many main characters were waiting for him outside and how strong they were.

So he must try to become stronger.

At the very least, he wanted to be able to defend himself against the main characters and fight monsters when the apocalypse approached.

…

Name: Weapon Envolve Card

Tier: F-

Description: You can evolve a weapon to Tier F-, however, you cannot evolve a gun or any weapon similar to a gun.

…

Seeing the description, Hikaru frowned and asked, “So I can’t upgrade grenades, rifles, or bombs?”

[That’s right, master. You can only use this card to evolve cold weapons like swords, knives, axes, etc.]

Hikaru felt a headache, as if the system was trying to limit his ability to grow.

In the apocalypse, the thing that could help him confidently face the main characters, monsters or even evolved people was guns.

Evolved people have many special powers, however, they need time to develop their own powers.

That’s why, in the beginning, evolutionists were still afraid of guns. After all, at that time they still couldn’t be strong enough to underestimate the speed of bullets.

But now the system does not allow him to use Firearm type weapons, so he can only use rudimentary weapons such as swords, knives ..vv.

“Rika, do you guarantee that the system treats me fairly?”

[Of course, the system even helps you a lot. If it treats you unfairly, all you can withdraw is a “Good luck next time”.]

“But I feel like…”

[Okay, master, don’t think too much. Although the system only allows you to evolve rudimentary weapons, when those weapons are evolved to Tier F or higher, their power is even greater than a Firearm.]

Hikaru nodded at that, he felt that this was quite reasonable. After all, this was just an evolution card (Tier F-), what if he later gets a Tier F or higher weapon evolution card?

Certainly the rudimentary weapons were far more terrifying than the Firearm.

At this moment, Hikaru was temporarily relieved. He opened the personal information panel and looked it over again.

…

…

Looking at the information board that appeared, Hikaru had a relaxed mind, he lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.

In fact, after evolving, he didn’t need to sleep for 7 days for him to function as usual.

But Hikaru still treasured sleep very much because he was afraid that when the apocalypse came, at that time, he would no longer be able to have any good sleep.

While Hikaru was sleeping soundly, many people couldn’t sleep.

In the private villa, Ryrlia watched the information that Ekora had collected displayed on the tablet. 𝑜𝑣𝘭.𝘯𝑡

Her beautiful hands with smooth, snow-white skin gently touched the tablet screen.

The more she watched, the more interesting the smile on Ryrlia’s face became. The tablet was displaying all the information and pictures of Hikaru.

From the scene of him shooting two thugs in the Noack mansion, to what happened in the cafe with Delmor, and even him saving Shiori…etc.

Everything was fully visible on the tablet. Even above there were many captions written by Ekora.

“It seems… Hikaru doesn’t seem like Hikaru.”

Hearing Ryrlia’s words, Ekora frowned, feeling confused: “Master, why do you say that?”

“This Is based on what he’s doing, his expression, his feelings, and it’s also based on what Laylah told him.” Ryrlia said while magnifying the screen, as Hikaru and Laylah talked to each other.

“I think so too… His body changed in an extremely strange way.” Ekora said: “In the past, his body was very weak, even with medical intervention, he would only live to 50 years old.”

“But this time is different… his body suddenly changed, becoming extremely perfect. He’s even 4-5 times stronger than before.”

“I’ve left it to the others to investigate him, during this time, Hikaru hasn’t used any other strange potions.”

“Everything just happened today.”

“Besides… after Hikaru entered the hotel, the bioelectric meter connected to him spiked once again.”

“This time, the bio-energy level inside his body increased to 500 points, which is 25 times higher than the average person.”

“Is that so…” Ryrlia tapped her index finger on the table, an amused smile on her face: “Looks like… today is the beginning.”

“Master, do you and Laylah know each other?”

Ryrlia heard that and nodded slightly: “Yes, she and I used to be close friends. Since I came to this place, I haven’t contacted her anymore.”

If Hikaru heard this, he would surely be so shocked that he wouldn’t be able to keep his mouth shut for 3 days.

The female lead in a female novel is the female lead’s best friend in a male novel.

“Besides… Ekora, if this world is a fake world, your thoughts, your personality are all written by someone else, what do you think?”

Ekora frowned and said, “Master, I am me, I have my own feelings, personality and thoughts, no one can control me but you.”

Ryrlia smiled, a smile like a beautiful rose in bloom. However, that rose was not red but black, a color that was extremely mysterious and confusing.

“I think so too.” Ryrlia smiled and said, “Perhaps… Hikaru is also struggling right now, trying to escape his fate.”

“So… does master want me to continue watching him?”

“Continue to follow him. I want to see what surprises Hikaru will bring me.” Ryrlia said: “Ah! Don’t forget to follow the others.”

“You mean…”

“Rina, Delmor, Tadashi, Akiko, Velys and the girl in the hospital.”

“Yes, master. But… What Hikaru did will make Gray Wolf notice him, Gray Wolf might even kill him.”

Ryrlia smiled and said, “Call Gray Wolf, tell him I’m Hikaru’s protector.”

“Master, that would make Gray Wolf angry…”

“Ekora… do you think an angry Gray Wolf can do anything?” Ryrlia’s voice was filled with disdain and cold, as if in her eyes Gray Wolf was nothing more than an ant.

Ekora nodded, “Yes, I understand.”

After saying that, Ekora left.

At this moment, Ryrlia leaned back in her chair, and she looked into the distance, it was unclear what she was pondering about in her heart.
