As expected, like his younger sister, Benny’s changes weren’t groundbreaking or overly influential. Still, it put him at the top of his age bracket regardless.

Cynrik and Brance scanned through the changes before nodding, nothing was beyond their expectations, and Benny had successfully completed his advancement. Like with Gabby, his stat cap had also been increased to 1200, solidifying the metrics used for comparison.
[Looks like you’re up now, Big Brother.] With the other members fully advanced to Tier-2 and working out their stiff movements or adjusting to new heights and weights, Brance tossed a relaxed look at Cynrik, who didn’t seem nervous in the least.
[Un, but none of you should be here for it. Unlike everyone else, all my Affinities are destruction-based, and without access to your Earth or Light Affinities, the only one who might stand a chance of walking away unscathed would be Selene. It could be the difference between smacking someone with a Wiffle ball bat or shooting them with a machine gun.] Stripping off his shirt, Cynrik walked to the center of the room.
[And what if something goes wrong?] Tapping Gabby and Benny’s shoulders, Brance motioned to them it was time to leave the room.
[Then I do what I always do and figure it out. I would rather blow up the room and cause damage to only my own body than have to deal with your guy’s attempts to stop the Mana Surge. Odds are, the same thing that happened with you will occur with me, with the only difference being Fire burns and Dark corrupts. Your Light was a soft force, and I could shatter the Wind currents with my own Affinity. That left only Earth physically manifesting, so there wasn’t much to do other than simple dodging.]
Cynrik’s fingers glided over the display on his Watcet as he input the proper filters for the Dorm AI instead of speaking them for everyone to hear.
[Plus, I’ve already set up the droid’s live feed to the living room holotv in a closed feed, so yall can just watch from there.] Tossing Brance a cocky smile, Cynrik smacked the bald, trashcan-like droid on the head.
At this point, Selene realized something was going on and found herself looking between Brance and Cynrik in confusion.
[[Wait, hold up, are you guys talking in your solo chat, what the heck, why are you guys keeping me in the Dark now? I thought we were a team.]] She said, wearing a pouty face and tapping her left foot.
[[Big Brother is kicking everyone out of the room since his Affinities are relatively more destructive, he doesn’t want us getting in the way of his advancement.]] Brance filled Selene in on his brother’s plan, making her pout turn into a full frown.
[[But I have the Dark Affinity too, shouldn’t I be allowed to stay?]]
[[And what are you gunna do when waves of Fire merge into the Dark Mana blasts, creating BlackFire? Selene, give it up; just be a good girl and wait outside. There is no point in arguing, especially since my whole Mantra is formed around destruction. In the absolute best-case scenario, you somehow stop the rapid onslaught of Wind and Dark strikes, only to get the shit burned out of you by the follow-up flame blasts.]] Cynrik didn’t bother looking in her direction and sat down in the lotus position beside the droid.
[[C’mon, Selene, we can watch from the living room, there is no point butting heads with Big Brother on something like this, he can be the most stubborn person in the world sometimes, making it easier to let him have his way than continuing to argue. If I did that every time, things would never get done.]]
With a bit of coaxing from Brance, Selene eventually relented, and the party vacated the training room, leaving only a shirtless Cynrik and his droid in the center of the room.

Wearing a calm expression, Cynrik double-checked his soon-to-be outdated profile one last time before sending it over to Selene and Brance, who then wrote it down for Gabby and Benny to finally get a look at the leader’s info.
‘Tobs, you are 100%, without a doubt, positive that I won’t turn into a muscle freak like Brance and Benny but will still get my age progression, right?’ Cynrik asked optimistically.
-Sigh, Host Cynrik, why must you always be so worried. You will keep your present physical aesthetic long, trim, and moody. Stop worrying about the small and useless things; they only make you seem shallow.-
‘Listen, you didn’t have to spend your teenage years looking like a fucking child in your previous life, ok; spare me a little sympathy here; I looked like a fucking 10-year-old until I was in my early 20s; sue me for being worried this time around.’
-That’s rich coming from the only Host I have ever met that is emotionally unavailable and completely lacks empathy. So quit your whining and get this over with already.-
‘Yeah, yeah, I’m going.’ Waving his hand nonchalantly, Cynrik pulled out all the necessary resources for his evolution and arranged them neatly on the floor. Then, calming his thoughts, he quickly chugged down the edibles, grabbed the corresponding stones in the correct hands, and triggered the chain of notifications.
-The Host has met the requirements for Tier-2 Evolution-
-Level 20 (Complete)-
-All Stats Minimum 225 (Complete)-
-Mana Codex Tier-2 (Complete)-
-All Elemental Affinities at Tier-1- (Complete)
-Scanning for Evolution Catalysts.-
-Evo-Stone Fragment has been Located.-
-Dark Affinity Fragment has been Located.-
-Fire Affinity Fragment has been Located.-
-Wind Affinity Fragment has been Located.-
-All items have been Accepted as proper Catalysts.-
-Would you like to begin the Evolution to Tier-2 (Y/N)-
Not batting an eyelash at them, Cynrik poked the floating transparent Yes and was instantly assaulted by an intense wave of pain.
-Beginning Evolution, sending Host’s mind to their SOC.-
-System has Detected the Host has reached Prestige Cap.-
-Beginning Body Reforging.-
-Mana Codex is being restructured.-
-Mana Circuits are being strengthened and expanded.-
-Mana Codex is being strengthened.-
-Mana Codex is Expanding.-
-Density of collected Mana is evolving.-
-Analyzing Hosts Body Tempering.-
-The Host currently has a Tier-2 Body, breaking it down to strengthen further to meet the standards of Body Reforging.-
-Rebuilding muscular structure.-
-Rebuilding skeletal structure.-
Sitting in the fiery inferno and hellish landscape of his SOC, Cynrik clenched his teeth and allowed the pain to wash over his body, but that was when a new string of notifications entered his ears.
-WARNING, WARNING, ANOMALY DETECTED.-
-PROBLEM WITH DIVINITY FRAGMENTS STORED WITHIN HOST CYNRIK JETLENSR’S SOUL.-
-TRIGGERING FAILSAFE AND DEFENSIVE PROTOCOLS.-
Tobs screamed in Cynrik’s head, making his eyes twitch; however, unable to move due to the intense feelings he was experiencing thanks to his advancement to Tier-2, Cynrik helplessly sat still. That was when he quickly became hyper-aware of something watching him from a distance.
Grrroooowwlllll
Cynrik’s ears perked up at the sound of a low rumbling growl coming from off in the distance.
-ALL DEFENSIVE PROTOCOLS HAVE FAILED, SOC HAS BEEN INVADED, HOST CYNRIK, YOU NEED TO PREPARE YOURSELF!-
Tobs’ voice frantically screamed, trying to give Cynrik what little information she could. As she spoke, Tobs, in her Avatar state, manifested in the space next to Cynrik and began furiously typing away on several transparent keyboards like a hacker.
GROOOWLLLLL
-I CAN’T KEEP IT AT BAY, CYNRIK, I AM TRYING TO SUPPRESS ALL THE NOTIFICATIONS AND THIS BEINGS ADVANCEMENT, BUT I CAN’T… It’s here… it’s too late…Fuck! I am breaking the restraints placed on your movement; get ready.-
GRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLL
Tobs’ voice died down to a whisper as apparent fear broke through her otherwise normally monotone voice.
GRoooooWwwwwllLLLLL
-Your Tier-2 Evolution has met an anomaly, and a Third-party has broken into the Host’s SOC.-
-A third party is in control; any damage you take inside will affect your Soul Directly.-
-The Host is being forcefully dragged into a Turning Point Quest-
-Turning Point Quest: Challenge for Supremacy-
-Due to the influence of your Divine Blessings and your Æsir Bloodline, you have lost control and are severely affected by it. A third party acting against you has stepped in during a point of weakness, and to leave, you must defeat this being in combat. If you die in battle, your Soul will collapse and be destroyed, allowing this third Party complete control of your body and replace your existence.-
-Defeat the Æsir Spirit ????-
-Reward:???
-Penalty for failure: Soul Destruction-
Hearing Tobs had broken the restraints stopping him from moving, Cynrik’s eyes snapped open, and he jumped to his feet. A figure stirred in the distance, making Cynrik’s pupils dilate as he saw a hulking figure floating. The two Ruby red serpent eyes glaring angrily at him were even more impressive than this being’s size; the dripping saliva leaking off its rows upon rows of huge fangs proved this creature wanted nothing more than to devour him whole.
ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
“Mother fucker just had to do this now of all times, didn’t he.” Cynrik howled, rolling up his upper lip and baring his teeth in rage.
