Chapter 18: Growing Effects
The announcement rippled through the entire world of Evolution Online, and once again, the forums erupted into chaos.
Yvone: "I hereby call on the Game company to check things out. Come on, this makes no sense! How in the world does a Player become a Dungeon Boss again? I'm fed up at this point. Such ridiculous bugs. First, a level 1 player killed a level 45 wolf—obvious bug—then now some Player Cien became a Dungeon boss."
G-spotter: "I think it might be the same person. Think about it, the gap between the first announcement and this wasn't too long. I think the pumpkin dude is Player Cien."
Sharpshooter001: "The Heavenly Sect has put out word that whoever finds this person shall receive three hundred exchangeable gold coins."
MaulRat: "This game needs a priest. Cien just became the final boss of my nightmares."
Tantampis: "@Sharpshooter001, that makes perfect sense when you think about it. Because hell! This dude got compared to the great player Yinhui! Yinhui walked the path of Cultivation for four years with no promise of results. He never gave up and kept pushing forward until it became a Class all of us could now use. And moreover, Yinhui was level 400 when he unlocked that class. Do you know what it takes to reach level 400? How many times you would have lost your EPs from evolving?! And this player is supposedly level 1?! Yeah, kill me."
DataDrainer: "Soooo... the guy who looked like a toddler's Halloween mistake is now the literal Dungeon Boss? This timeline makes zero sense and I love it."
ZebraPunch: "And now there's a DUNGEON MASTER CLASS??? Excuse me while I scream into a pillow for an hour."
ForumModerator999: "For the record: This is NOT a glitch. We've received confirmation from EVO Systems DevTracker—'the evolution system was designed to allow unprecedented player transformation. Cien merely discovered a path no one had considered.' Consider this your warning: nothing is sacred anymore."
