According to the status metric measurement of Earth, the highest stat of an evolver is usually one, and the stats are usually well-rounded. Variations occur when mythics take their shape or when elementals use their element, or when a diviner makes use of their divine energy. However, in their normal state, the stats of Earthlings are usually well-rounded because they pursue the way of tapping into their potential, which strengthens their body in all ways. While their body is strengthened, their ability is enhanced.
The evolver has five stages. The first-stage evolver has just become an evolver and cannot make use of the full, untapped potentials of their evolvers. This is where nest energy comes in. The nest energy is a divine genetic energy that allows them to sublime their untapped potential with their body, allowing them to go a step further in evolution.
A first-stage evolver usually has stats of one, while a second-stage evolver has two, a third-stage has four, while a fourth-stage has eight. There are variations for the fifth stage. The fifth stage, also known as the final stage, usually ranges from sixteen to twenty.
The fifth stage is the final stage. After the fifth stage is the surpasser stage. Any human who does not have enough potential to reach stage five will stop at the stage of an evolver for all their life.
The quotient of sixteen to twenty is not usually visible in the evolver stage, but it creates a divide starting from the surpasser stage, and the stage keeps widening.
A surpasser is a hundred times stronger than an evolver. This means an evolver who evolved to surpasser with a stat of sixteen will have a stat of 1600, while that of twenty will have a stat of 2000.
Nevertheless, evolution is a slow stage, as nest energy is not easy to absorb. That's the reason lifespan doubles with every major stage reached.
An evolver can live up to two hundred years, so the most talented of evolvers might be able to reach surpasser stage within ten years, while it is not strange for the masses to be stuck at evolver stage for a hundred years before moving on to the next stage, or they might not even be able to move to the next stage all their lives.
After digesting everything that's needed to digest, Wallace finally reached for the shop section.
*Shop*
*Skills* *Materials*
*10 Skill points (SP)* *10 Oracle Credits (OC)*
He went for the skill section.
*Skills*
*Chaotic Absorption (Stage 1): An absorption method suitable for an Oracle body structure that fully utilizes their ninety-nine constellation energy points to absorb energy and circulate them (10 SP)*
*Adjudicate: A sword technique that defends against attack while sending it back to the attacker (10 SP)*
*Explosive steps: A movement skill that utilizes explosive movement to make nine steps, and the speed and explosiveness of the skill doubles for every step till it reaches the ninth step (10 SP)*
Wallace saw the skill section and the skills displayed in it. He needed every one of the skills there.
The Chaotic Absorption skill is a very important skill, as it is known that nest energy cannot be absorbed without an accompanying technique.
He also needed the remaining skills, but he was only given ten points, which was not enough for him to use. He reckoned he should not get anything for now until he needed them.
Who knows, it might not be easy to get the skill points.
He then decided to go to the material shop.
*Materials*
*Craft manual (Stage One): It is a skill that teaches the accumulation of Oracle in Craft creation. Craft creation is the beginning of creation of life. The manual teaches about blacksmithing and the stages involved, smelting, hundred refinement, shaping, and quenching of weapons. It can be used to produce normal grade, yellow grade, and black grade weapons (100 OC)*
*Oracle weapon blueprint (100 OC)*
*Oracle shield blueprint (10 OC)*
*Beginning Engineering manual (100 OC)*
*Firearms blueprint (100 OC)*
He also saw the material section and saw that it just included blacksmithing materials and manuals, which was something that was not useful to him for now.
He could not help but sigh and leave the shop section before going to the quest section.

Blacksmithing engineering is also a relatively important profession now, as humanity needs weapons to fight against the menace threatening to overturn them.
Swords, shields, knives, and the likes are now being used in replacement of guns, as they are the easiest to use and also more accurate.
Humanity has reached a period where it is relatively easy to break the speed of sound with their bodies, so unless it is advanced firearms, normal firearms can't harm them.
For firearms, it requires a lot of training and also consumes a lot of resources, so people reverted to the profession. Simplicity is the best.
He saw the series of quests and could not help but be shaken when he saw the ones that required a day to finish.
He could not help but curse out aloud a little bit as he stood up from his bed.
It's midnight already, so he has to make his way to the abandoned region to kill some beasts.
After the other races had been pushed off the surface of the Earth, humanity could not occupy every part of Earth, so there are some territories that have been overrun by beasts.
But Earth's advanced technology is able to keep them in check, making sure only beasts on the evolved level, also known as first-order, are remaining on Earth.
They are also used to train the younger generation on how to fight and prepare for the future when they will have to be enlisted into the military and fight for Earth.
To be able to hunt, a hunter's license needs to be collected.
It can be received for free as long as one is an evolver or has an evolver guard.
The catch to it is that every proceeding from hunting beasts must be sold to the hunter association, and they will take ten percent of the proceedings.
Wallace walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. He could not help but be surprised at his appearance.
Wallace himself has the perfect genes from his parents that each had their own beauty. He combined the two genes together making him very handsome and he has always been proud of that but what he is looking at in the mirror is something that has transcended perfect; it's bordering on divine.
His skin is fair and a little bit pale with no flaws.
His dark hair falls down to his shoulder, while his malnourished body had turned into a lean body rippling with explosive muscles.
He remembered the process of destruction and reconstruction he felt earlier, and he finally saw the result. It had pushed him to the evolver stage, but strangely, he felt as if there's a black hole in his stomach.
The lost nutrient can't be made up for, anyway. It's still manageable.
His life has really been worse to the extent that he does not even have any foodstuff at home.
He looked at the perfectly carved face with thin red lips and a nose that's medium but pointed.
His jaws look like they can pierce through anything, while his deep blue eyeballs look like those that have experienced the viciousness of life. Well, he has experienced it.
Everything his parents worked for was snatched up, while he faced the disdain of the society, all because he was weak.
He clenched his fist as he thought about his future plans.
Just like the midnight will be the moment of awakening for every fifteen-year-old youth, a certain boy has also awakened - the apex predator of the universe.
One that has been wounded and betrayed, his seemingly cold eyes looked on as he ran calculations through his mind.
