Done with my skills even if I had 2 SP left I decided to leave them and maybe use them on a skill I wanted to master but right now that was unnecessary.
Something that I found out was that when I evolved skills the prior mastery and knowledge didn't disappear but instead stack with the evolved knowledge making the mastery of that skill even better.
So I didn't lose any mastery over my skills even when I evolved them which took some worry off my shoulders.
But now I had to check my status and then the Chat as I wanted to see what they have done in the time where I was hibernating.

Aside from the aforementioned gains from the evolution I also saw that I gained 2 points in charm.
' Well it's nice to know that I'm slightly more appealing then before...' I muttered to myself.
Next was the chat which when I entered was still lively.
[—Evolution Chat—]
—Amber: Has anyone discovered any Rank 2/Stage 2 vampire-type DNA samples...I'm desperate, my planet is being invaded by an Undead army and we are losing...
—Shane: Ah I actually have some vampire-type DNA beasts of the second stage in my possession but since my race isn't compatible with it I can't evolve it...but I'm willing to sell.
—Quin: Ah...so the planet I'm invading is your Homeworld?...well that's sad, I hope to meet you though, a vampire vs zombie matchup seems interesting but I'm already a stage two being so good luck!
—Bayleaf: ...of course the zombie gets a way to invade other fucking worlds first.
—Amber: I'm not planning on dying anytime soon and I'll make sure you regret coming here, and Shane I'm willing to negotiate the terms of our deal, private message me.
—Shane: Will do.
—Saki: Ah! Shane bags another girl... he's not leaving any for us T-T)
—TheAlmighty: He's a succubus so what do you expect?...plus I learnt from a very reliable source that Shane's world is a High Ranked World able to accomodate up to Stage 4 beings...so that's probably why he has so many DNA samples he sells to us.
—Dimples: Envious....
—Aden: Have you guys also heard that the evolution system opens up new functions when you reach stage 2?
—Asura: That's... probably how Quin is able to invade other worlds maybe?
—Bayleaf: Seems likely.
—Asura: Well I'm gonna go...I'm currently being hunted by my government because they found out that I've been kidnapping babies and eating them....
—Shaylo:..... should I even ask why?
—Asura: Their parents were of different races and were Rank 2 beings so I thought I could cheat and gain their DNA sample to evolve...but sadly they are incompatible with my Siren Race.
—Avarice: Well R.I.P to the eaten babies....did they taste good?
—Asura: They were the most savoury thing I've ever tasted.
—[]—
And the the chat devolved into people talking about the most delicious beasts and monsters they have eaten.
From this I gained information on how others evolved and that I probably would also need Rank 2 DNA to evolve further.
' Couldn't I just fuse a bunch of races and create a stronger variant that would also count as a rank 2 though?' I thought already making plans to test that out.
Looking around myself and the carnage that littered the place I sighed and shook my head before I walked over to the wall and started [Burrow Tunneling] which with my claws and skill felt like I was digging through soft butter.
It didn't take me more then 10 minutes to finally break out of the earth and into the surface world.
' Holy fuck....' I muttered to myself in awe as I looked at the sky, but more so in space.
Shattered planets were slowly floating in space and they were close enough for me to see clearly.
Even this planets moons were shattered with only a handful still intact.
' I wonder what type of monster did that...' I thought knowing fully well that this was the doing of a creature like me, just way more overpowered.
And for how did I come up with that conclusion, well there were two factors.
The moon's that were barely intact had claw marks riddling them.
And also because creatures in this planet were massive and I know this because not far away from me I saw the sleeping form of a wolf like creature sleeping ontop of a mountain.
' Hell nah!' I thought before looking down and began digging faster and faster trying to get away from any of that.
—3 Hours Later—
After hours of digging and popping up every once in a while I found something surprising.
I found bones.
But not any bones mind you, these bones radiated essence and from their structure it was defined a dragon type monster.
So I then spend a good portion of my time building an underground cave and clearing the rocks and soil around the bones by eating it and converting the soil and rocks into pitiful amounts of Earth and Metal Essence.
Done with that I then began munching on the bones.
This was harder then I thought as the bones were really hard even with my improved bite skill.
And so I spent a couple hours munching and chewing on the colossal bones and absorbing as much DNA as I could and the Essence too.
Finishing with the last bone fragments a screen suddenly appeared before me.
[You've gained Rank—2 Evolution Route: Dragnelite Race]
[—You've gained the following essence:
— Crystal Essence: 36,933.
— Metal Essence: 12,839.
— Fire Essence: 26,837.—]
I gained a lot from that lucky find.
' Maybe I should quit my dreams of grandeur and just mine dead creatures bones instead.....nah I'ma see where I end up till the end.' I thought to myself as I looked inside myself and found the well of 4 types of essence inside me, the fourth being the small earth essence I absorbed earlier, just a pitiful 8 points of earth essence.
Sighing to myself after that hearty meal I again started my tunneling.
Even though I gained a rank 2 Evolution I still needed to meet the requirements to evolve into one, so for now I needed to kill things and level up.
—7 Hours Later—
After hours of tunneling just a couple metres underground from the surface world I finally decided to go out again.
And appearing in the middle of a lush jungle I grinned before I began running towards a random direction hoping to find prey.
And not even a couple minutes I found it.
Drinking from a clear pond was what I could only describe as a deer on steroids as it's antlers seemed more like weopons and it's black fur with its menacing red eyes just put the entire picture together.
Staring at it for a while I almost jumped when a screen suddenly appeared after staring at it for a couple seconds.
[—Name: None
—Race: Hysrir Deer-fiend.
—Rank: 1]
Seeing it's rank I gained a bit of confidence but I didn't allow that to cloud me.
Utilising [Essence Bite] I drew on the [Fire Essence] inside me and watched as heat suddenly burst from my mouth and fire blazed over my teeth as I jumped towards the in a mad dash on all four of my limbs and appeared right besides it.
With my maw open I immediately brought my teeth down on its neck and watched as my teeth went through its flesh as if it was nothing before the head of the thing dropped to the pond blodying it.
I had decapitated it.
' Well....that was easy.' I muttered to myself in astonishment.
