"A reaction from me? Well, everything you do is crazy, it hasn't been a day since I met you and you've already surprised me more than I can count," said Aaronarra.
"I guess being old also comes with patience," said Frank.
"Who are you calling old?! I am a rather young dragon!" asked Aaronarra.
"You have lived for thousands of years but you consider yourself young? Alright…" said Frank.
"Don't be insolent!" roared Aaronarra, hitting the ground instead of smacking Frank with his claws.
"Okay, okay… Do not get angry… Well, I will evolve then," said Frank, as he pressed the 'YES' option on his evolution.
He remembered that the first time he evolved was because of Hades, which triggered an evolution from a Human to an Undead Progenitor.
But now, he was finally given the chance to either take the evolution or reject it.
Although he thought that rejecting it would be foolish, as he would probably get a nice boost in power through it.
Flash!
The moment, Frank pressed 'YES', a mass of dark blue phantom engulfed his body, like his bones, muscles, and other body parts began to change, bubbling and releasing cracking sounds all around!
Crack, crack!
"Nnghh…!"
Frank fell to the ground, kneeling, as he started to gasp for air.
The cracking noises did not stop, as he felt like every single one of his bones was being broken and then restructured back again.
His flesh felt as if it was constantly melting but then healing back, and his blood was boiling and evaporating, as he was covered in steam emanated from his pores.
Frank's teeth fell off one by one, as new teeth grew on his jaw, and even his eyes started to bleed, only to regenerate back!
And then… came his organs.
His stomach exploded, making Frank vomit a mouthful of blood.
The rest of his organs were also all being destroyed, as new ones began to grow magically, stronger than before as if he had undergone a complete renewal.
And alongside that… a new 'heart' was generated.
However, it was strange.
This was because his heart entangled his Mana Core, which began to absorb all of the energy shrouding Frank, until it changed colors from transparent to pale blue, blazing with a constant and cold blue flame…
It began to slowly palpitate, although it was no longer a normal heart at all…
Frank glanced at his chest, as the blue gem emerged over his chest, right in the middle of it.
Alongside this, his ribs grew out of his skin, hardening like permanent armor, protecting this glowing blue gem that was his heart.
His left eye turned pale blue, blazing with blue flames, as his white hair gained black strands.
However, Frank lost consciousness after this, and he fell asleep once more.
But this time, it was not due to his soul but due to the intense pain of his evolution, so Orb and Aaronarra could only wait for him to wake up.
…
Frank opened his eyes dimly, as he realized that he had once more fallen unconscious.
Feeling rather embarrassed about this, he stood up to find a space.
"Eh?"
Everything was pitch black.
Frank then glanced at the bed he was in to find out it had suddenly disappeared.
Where was he now?
"What is this place? A dream?" wondered Frank, as he sighed.
He tried to move through this space until a cold sensation took a hold of him.
A cold breath emerged behind him.
Frank felt as if this cold breath was freezing him completely.
Slowly, he glanced behind him, to find two phantasmal blue eyes, blazing like flames from hell.
The entity slowly moved near Frank, as it expanded its cold environment, reaching him.
And then, he saw it.
An enormous skull, seemingly like that of the head of a dragon, where the two blue flames silently floated in the skull eye sockets.
The skull had a long bony neck, with several sections, spiky and covered in a sickly green mist.
The large skull had two spiraling horns that grew immensely high into the sky, and the entire presence of this entity seemed to be the representation of the void of darkness.
"What… Who… are you?" asked Frank.
"They call me by many names…" said the entity.
"Are you… someone from Terra?" asked Frank.
"Terra? That's the world where you're residing, young Overseer?" asked the entity.
"Over… seer?" asked Frank.
"It seems that you do not know about yourself… Your soul is as bizarre as a Demon God. What have you gone through? You are strange. Yet somehow, by your authority, I have received your call, and I have come to see you as your presence has requested," said the entity.
Frank felt in disbelief.
What was even an Overseer?
What did it even have to do with him?
And why was he somehow calling up to this entity?
Was this because of his evolution?
But even then, wasn't that a bit too much?
"You seem confused. I better not confuse you any longer… My name is Null. I am what those across the universes call The Reaver, The Guardian of the Lost, or Night Dragon… Although I do not take any of such Titles. I am worshiped by Evil Dragons who had transformed yourself. Although… you were not a dragon originally… How curious," said the entity.
"I… I still do not get it… You're like a God or something?" asked Frank.
"…You might as well call me one to ease your mind. Fear not, although I take the souls offered to me, I have no authority over an Overseer Soul even if you have converted into half Dracolich," said Null.
"I-I see… Though why are you calling me an Overseer? What is that?" asked Frank.
"…Hm, I do not have the authority to tell you that information. Now, although I might be what you consider a God, my authority goes through many planes and worlds, I cannot simply stay in here because you have called me, Overseer. You have given me a nice offering, so now, I shall give you a gift," said the entity.
"A… gift? And what offering? I didn't give you anything," asked Frank.
"You did, you gave offered me your flesh, organs, and suffering," said Null.
"That's… but that was because I evolved… right?" asked Frank.
"Evolution? So through such a ritual, you have summoned me. Indeed, the organs, flesh, and bones of a young Overseer are a precious meal that I could not reject," said Null.
"So you… actually ate them… Well, that's freak…" sighed Frank.
"Freaky? Hmm… I might be a bit lugubrious to your eyes, but I mean no harm. Here," said Null, as he extended his gigantic bone claws, and separated a finger and a claw from himself.
"This… a bone?" asked Frank.
"This is the bone of an entity such as me, treasure it, as it will help you achieve the level of strength you need to learn more about the truth," said Null, as it began to dissipate into dust.
"Wait, where are you going? I have a lot of questions!" said Frank.
"My time in this plane is up, I reside in a plane where only other entities such as myself live, although my existence encompasses many universes, so I live in many of them at the same time. Albeit in this one, my presence is dim due to its small quantity of dragons… But you might end up being a good apostle if you use my powers as intended," said Null, disappearing.
Frank extended his hand towards the piece of bone, as it slowly seeped into his skin and flesh, merging itself with him…
His soul suddenly felt strange, as if it were changing something had entered without permission, and it was seeping within, giving him a large amount of power and… knowledge to certain types of forbidden magic.
Frank finally opened his eyes, as he was greeted by many System Windows.
Ding!

[The [Gray Magic (Innate): Level 6] Skill has evolved into the [Void Magic (Innate): Level 6] Skill!]
"Divine… Protection…" muttered Frank.
Although Frank expected to acquire Skills, this was more than enough, he had already gotten an almost complete overhaul of Skills, so he supposed that he didn't need to get even more even after evolving, and so, was the case.
But even then, he had acquired some strange enlightenment and knowledge by Null, and now had figured out new ways to conjure Spells using his Dark Death Devil Magic.
As Frank checked his status, he noticed that his stats had skyrocketed, he was perhaps even stronger than before, and all of such power was triggered after a series of very unlikely events that all started when he began to dig in the ground…
Frank did not know if he was lucky or unlucky, to be honest.
Orb and Aaronarra greeted Frank rather cheerfully, as he asked them how long has he been sleeping.
"About… two hours, I believe!" said Orb.
"Two hours?! It should already be over 5 AM… I have to get back home… Well, we should first let you Rank Up, right?" asked Frank.
"Oh! Finally! I will now be able to harbor even more monsters, Master! So you can grow stronger!" said Orb, she was happy to become better at generating powerful monsters that could bring good EXP and also Mana Cores to hasten Frank and his allies Cultivation.
"Hm, a Dungeon Ranking Up? I have never seen such a thing…" said Aaronarra, interested.
