The Over-Break System

Leaning back and floating helplessly, Melody felt wronged. Coming off the high of completing her Trial Quest and seeing the line about receiving additional rewards, she couldn't help but be curious about what they could have been.

Sure, she noticed things like her Affinities changing to Manipulations, but that was a given, considering he mother had informed her that Affinities were supposed to change due to Higher Stage Beings being able to control advanced Mana Particles.

But the only thing Melody could feel was...average at a glance.

Heaving a sigh, she finally gave in to temptation and looked through her New Tier-3 Status Profile.

Looking away from her Status Profile while wearing a frown, Melody fought back the urge to cry. Deep down, she knew it was wrong to compare herself to the other members of MyrkLys, but as the most recent member and the weakest, doubt was creeping into her psyche the more time she spent with them.

Especially since, during her training period, Cynrik was extremely hard on her. The faint hope that had taken root that if she did good enough on her Turning Point quest, they would praise her was vanquished when she saw that half of her stats hadn't even broken through the Tier-2 Cap.

Soon her eyes fell on her Affinities, and a bitter smile crept unto her lips as she gained proof that they hadn't been powered up. At that moment, she could faintly hear Cynrik's abusive preaching about potential outcomes involving their Evolution.

"OI, DSP, get your head out of your Ass! I thought I told you to stop relying on the pathways created by your system when using Skills or Spells. There is no fucking telling how long you will have that little handicap, and the sooner you figure your shit out, the better off you will be!"

CRACK

"STOP FUCKING CONCENTRATING SO HARD, DSP!"

CRACK

"Are you going to sit there and let me wail on you, or will you fight back?" For days Cynrik beat her black and blue in the name of conditioning. Eventually, Melody learned her lesson the hard way; now that she had Evolved and obtained her Elemental Manipulations, she knew it was time to try it out.

Now, floating above the stormy planes of her SOC, Melody extended her Astral hand forward, felt out her new Mana Veins, and moved the liquid Mana through her body until a multi-layered spell formation appeared directly in front of her.

Taking the form of intricate glowing runic writing around a Three-layered circle, Melody silently cast the Tier-2 Spell, [Dust Prism], manifesting a small transparent gaseous cube.

With the formation of her spell, the sad expression on Melody's face vanished and was replaced by a bright smile. All she had to do now was get used to this feeling, and then she could prove Cynrik wrong, as he had always called her useless.

POV: Gabby

-You have Passed your Trial Quest, With an SSS Rating. You will receive extra benefits upon completion of your Tier-3 Evolution.-

-Now Commencing Tier-3 Evolution.-

"Ah, CRAP!!!" Her eyes snapping open, Gabby held Milo to her chest as tears streamed down her cheeks from the intense pain flaring through her body.

Meanwhile, Milo, who was being practically squished to death against Gabby's chest, was struggling just as much as he became subjected to the intense fluctuations of Mana and Energy being emitted by Gabby's body.

That's not all either; thanks to being present within the Chain Breaking Formation and the Passing Down Quest, he was undergoing an Evolution of sorts himself, albeit not as intense. Still, nonetheless, a change could be seen occurring as the color of his fur began to shift to reflect his Affinities.

Soon, Milo found himself submerged in the puddle of goo that Gabby had become, and if it weren't for how dizzy he was because he, too, was in pain, he would have started freaking out.

-Continuing passed the 50% mark of your Evolution.-

-Commencing Breathing Mana Life Cycle.-

-Burning all Excess Essence stored in the Essence Pool.-

Neither Gabby nor Milo had the mental faculties to read the notifications as they scrolled by one after another.

-Breathing Mana Life Cycle has been completed 65 times.-

-Your Mana Body has been entirely constructed.-

-Zero Flaws or Anomalies found with Mana Body Construction.-

But all of a sudden, the pain stopped as Gabby and Milo were transported into her SOC. Unlike Benny or Melody's SOC, Gabby's was very different; it took the form of a never-ending forest covered in Amethyst mist. But most importantly, unlike the other two, who were in an Astral form when they arrived in their SOC, Gabby and Milo were both completely Solid, just like Cynrik and Brance were the first time they entered their SOC.

"Milo, are you Ok?" Setting aside the notifications that continuously rolled in, Gabby worried more about her Beast Partner's physical and mental state than her own.

"Y…yeah Mama," looking up from Gabby's arms, where he was being cradled like a baby, Milo said weakly and with a shakey child-like voice.

"M..MILO, YOU SPOKE!! YOU SPOKE FOR REAL WITH YOUR VOCAL CORDS AND NOT YOUR MIND YEAYYY!!!"

"Mhm, I... I can do that now 'cause I got stronger."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Gabby nuzzled Milo's soft furry face against her own before suddenly stopping and realizing his fur had changed color drastically.

Like Benny's hair, Milo's fur was in three different shades from head to tail. Some strands were light Brown, others were vivid Green, and last but not least were the bloody Crimson strands that represented Milo's Hema Affinity.

Gabby wanted to question what was going on, but with notifications constantly appearing in her line of sight, she knew it was time to read through them, so she sidelined her thoughts and gave the scrolling text her full attention.
