Chapter One Hundred and One - Evolution

I had a list of possible evolutions to choose from, a whole lot of juicy things to dig into. But, unfortunately, I didnt have the time just then.

The delve team were sniffing about, looking for loot drops by the boss and looking increasingly disappointed as their search found nothing. The girls were focused on their own thing. Awen had a small piece of glass that she was focusing on and Amaryllis was... shocking herself? That was a problem for later.

The pillars along the edges of the room were now housing two portals. One exiting just beyond the dungeon and the other...

I walked over to the dungeons core room and stared within. This one looked like a sort of empty treasury, with the dungeon core sitting on a velvety cushion atop a stone plinth, A step into the room and I was flooded with fresh mana that made my fingertips twitch.

No roots, evil or otherwise.

I was grinning as I stepped out of the core room.

Youre not supposed to go in there, Percy said. He had removed his helmet, revealing a surprisingly handsome twenty-something boy with nice blonde hair plastered to his head and an okay chin.

I didnt touch anything, I said.

He harrumphed and tucked his helmet under one arm. Were leaving in a bit.

Right! I said.

Eli and Boots were packing things up in a few smaller bags, they didnt seem to carry much with them into the dungeon, probably because they stayed in Rosenbell and didnt need to bring all sorts of supplies in. Alright, Eli said as he stood up and stretched. Were done here. It was a real pleasure working with you ladies.

It was fun, I said. Will we be seeing you in town?

You can see me whenever and however you want, Eli said.

I took a moment to register that, then turned to Amaryllis. I think its time we go.

We left the portal with only the sound of Boots roaring laughter and Percys disappointed sigh behind us.

The air outside the dungeon hit like a wall of warmth, sucking all the humidity away in only a few short seconds. I hadnt noticed how dry it was around Rosenbell. Then again, we had walked over, getting acclimated as we moved.

Where to? I asked.

An inn, Amaryllis said. Then... perhaps a bookstore after? I hope that this town has at least one. There are some little things Id like to look up.

Brilliant! I said. Im gonna be looking at my stats and such while we move, alright?

I, I can lead you, Awen said. By-by the hand. As we walk. By holding your hand. In mine.

Sure! I said. Usually Id ask for a piggyback ride, but that might be too much, huh?

Awa. I... I wouldnt mind if you rode me.

Amaryllis sighed. Youre both idiots, she said as she pulled a cord next to the empty spot where the lift had been. It rang a bell far above and soon the lift was dropping to our level a foot at a time.

I grinned, squeezed Awens hand in mine, used my other hand to scritch Orange behind the ear, and asked Mister Menu to pop open my stats page.

Id gotten way cooler since arriving on Dirt, but I still had a ways to go. My next big rank up would be Cleaning at rank S. That was five whole points. After that... I guessed that I could spend some points on other things? Maybe Dancing and Gardening, they both sounded handy. Or maybe I could get those sooner? So many options!

The lift finally arrived and Awen tugged me onto it.

How many class evolution options is it normal to get? I asked.

It depends on the persons achievements, Amaryllis said. Theres always at least one. It can go pretty high.

Uncle once said he had ten options once. He picked the one that sounded the most fun, Awen said.

I nodded. If its good enough for Abraham its good enough for Broccoli. I nodded.

Amaryllis muttered something that sounded like it might have been utter morons but I decided to ignore that.

You have Five (5) available Class Evolutions!

I grinned and poked at Mister Menu to show me the first.

Do you Want to Evolve your Cinnamon Bun class into the Cinnamon Nun class?

I tapped my chin as we rose. I got a weird one, I said. Cinnamon Nun. Its like a holy thing.

Amaryllis shifted. That could be useful, I suppose.

I dont know, I dont look good in black.

I ignored Amaryllis confused look and opened the next class even as the lift stopped and we started walking.

Awa, you have a strange expression, Awen said. Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah its just. Ah, this class looks... I wondered how I could say it. I think its a tank class. Not for me.

Thats, um, okay. You should be yourself, right? Awen asked.

I grinned over to her. Thats right!

We passed out of the dock section and into Rosenbell proper just as I opened a new classes description window... thing.

Do you Want to Evolve your Cinnamon Bun class into the Cinnamon Burn class?

Ohh, I cooed. A fire magic class!

Really? Amaryllis asked. Thats somewhat unusual. It would probably turn a few of your skills towards fire aspect abilities.

Yeah, it does say that much. Not sure if I like the description. The nun class was better. I shrugged. Ill think about it, I guess. Next!

Oh, oh, I really like this one. Mostly, I said. The... I paused to look around. We were now walking through some of the less busy streets, Amaryllis aiming for a little inn just across where we were. I noticed some people looking at us, wide-eyed and others pointing. Had we made a scene? The, uh, Cute upgrade isnt needed, but the rest looks really promising!

So, youve found the class you want then? Amaryllis asked.

Maybe! Theres one left to check out.

I felt my face warming up. Warming up a lot.

Awa, are you okay? Awen asked.

I looked around, noticing for the first time that we were in an inn. Im fine! I squeaked.

Awen blinked at me, then carefully placed her free hand on my forehead. Awa, youre so hot.

No Im not! I said. I mean... no? Just warm. Warm is all. I tugged at my collar. Im not taking that class.

Amaryllis stared at me, a set of keys in her hand. Right. We can look over... whatever is bothering you now later. We have a room on the second floor.

I nodded along and tried to make the blood move somewhere other than my face. Awen, I asked as we started to climb up the steps. Im not a seductress, right?

It was Awens turn to go red. Awa!

Our rooms were nice enough, not on the level of the rooms of Julien and Juliettes Inns, but clean and large, with a little bathroom to one side and a row of neat little beds set out in the middle.

Orange hopped off my back and picked one of the beds for herself, settling down in the middle for further napping.

Food will be arriving soon enough, Amaryllis said as she took off her pack and tossed it to the side. She sat on the edge of one of the beds. Picked a class yet? She asked.

I think so, yeah, I said. Cinnamon Bun Bun seemed like the perfect class for me. It was really just my normal class, but a bit more. Not too much of a difference. It didnt have some of the specialities of the other class options, but that was okay.

Well then, what are you waiting for? Amaryllis asked.

I grinned at her as I took off my pack and set it next to hers. Nothing!

Do you Want to Evolve your Cinnamon Bun class into the Cinnamon Bun Bun class?

Yes please, I said.

Ding! For accomplishing great deeds and reaching the tenth level of your class, you have unlocked the Cinnamon Bun Bun class!

Your Jumping Skill has transformed into... Hopping!

Your Cute Skill has transformed into... Adorable!

You are now eligible for a second class! Please pick from the classes you have obtained!

-Glass Cannon

-Puppeteer

That strange warmth that pushed through my body when I levelled up returned, only it was tenfold as strong. My chest contracted and I felt faint for just a moment before it passed and my vision snapped back into focus. Then there was a strange... feeling at the base of my back and atop my head.

My hat flew off as if someone had just smacked it from behind and clattered to the floor off to one side.

Huh? I asked.

My friends were staring. Staring hard. Even Orange was looking at me weird.

Did it go-- I stopped mid-word. My voice sounded off. No, not off, it was still my voice, but it sounded as if I was hearing it in a sort of almost-echo. It wasnt the only sound that was weird.

I turned my head and something on my scalp moved. Then it twitched.

Ah-ah-awa, Awen said. She raised a hand and pointed to the top of my head.

I reached up, slowly, and touched something long and furry that was standing... flopping, above my head.

I ran over to the bathroom, the floppy thing flopping with every step.

In the mirror was Broccoli Bunch. Wide-eyed, with her brown hair in a bit of a mess.

And atop her head were ears. Big, two-foot long bunny ears, coloured the same brown as my hair, but with poofy white tufts at their base. They were ramrod straight now, almost as if theyd been spooked.

I stared.

The ears... my ears, twitched.

Then one of them flopped down, folding in half at the middle.

Oh.
