Minerva stood a few feet away, her arms crossed, eyes glowing faintly as she watched the swirling purple-blackish haze slowly take form in Adam's hands. The air in the room pulsed with ambient miasma, dense and heavy like grenade fog on a battlefield.

"Push a little harder."

She instructed, her voice calm yet commanding.

"You're improving, but don't get comfortable. If you let the miasma slip even once, I'll consider it a failure.... The times were we make simple shapes are over

Adam's brow furrowed as he concentrated, veins faintly glowing with dark energy. The mass of cursed energy between his hands was unstable, trembling as he forced it into a rigid structure.

"Hold the shape Adam, just like that, you got to master how to focus and think at the same time."

Minerva continued.

"A rhombicuboctahedron isn't an easy shape to constantly maintain like that, it has 26 faces, and each one needs equal pressure. Remember, shaping miasma isn't like controlling Astrum or Monster Energy. This is more... primal. It more akin to the like's of training how to move and make a new limb you never had functional."

She stepped closer, kneeling beside him, her hand gently guiding his wrist.

"The more refined your control becomes, the more complex your constructs can be, master each shape, become faster, and faster in changing them, especially under pressure. If your form shatters now, what do you think will happen when you're fighting a formidable opponent to the Death. Your opponent won't give you time use your miasma constructs... So you have to be fast and precise about what your make, and for what purpose."

Minerva explained, experience acting as her guiding light.

Meanwhile Adam gritted his teeth, sweat forming on his brow, as it poured down his face.

But due to Minerva strict teaching, Adam manage to pull through, he finally made all 26 sides smooth, and balance, and started to hold the construct in place.

"Fweuu!!...

He sighed in relief, glad he was able to for the proper shape this time.

"I presume this is good enough Minerva."

At this question Minerva nodded her head, as she said.

"Yes, this is good control, but don't lose focus...remember to breathe with it."

She informed Adam, guiding him in his Miasma training.

From there Adam continue to change the shapes even more till they became abstract looking.

Every seconds a new shape was born, while he keeps the physical density up.

Without disrupting it cohesion, and turning it back to mist.

And with every second that does past, Adam could feel his mastery quickly improving.

The two of course continued for another seven hours, till eventually night time came in the Monster World.

Red clouds, and mist turn neon green, and thick purple.

Familiar black tentacles could been seen in every direction, as per normal, each their own size.

For the Monster World this was just a typical everyday scene.

"Mmmmmm~ nothing hits like good sake at night."

Minerva sighed, her voice velvety and relaxed as she sprawled across the massive king-sized bed, inside Adam's room.

The room was more than spacious. Technically, everyone in Adam's nation had their own private quarters, in the castle, luxurious ones at that...but Minerva had long since chosen to bunk with him. Comfort, and familiarity being the main reason.

Tonight, she was down to a black g-string that hugged her hips like a second skin. Her damp shirt clung to her curves, barely covering her full breasts.

The scent of fresh shampoo, warm sake, and red wine lingered around her, she had just come from the bath, still radiating heat from the warm water she bathed in.

She lay beside Adam, who was equally relaxed, shirtless, in simple underwear, his arms behind his head as he stairs at the ceiling.

The lights were low, but their eyes glowed faintly in the dark.

"I guess."

Adam murmured in response, his gaze drifting toward her.

"I'm not much of a drinker… but the view's not bad from my end at all."

His eyes lingered openly, drinking in the sight of her soft skin and the subtle shape beneath the thin fabric.

He didn't even try to hide it.

Minerva noticed, smirking as she took another sip.

"Fufufu~ pervert♡♡...

Adam chuckled, resting his head against the pillow. After a quiet moment, he asked.

"Hey, you're heading back home tomorrow, right? Mind if I tag along? I heard there is someone new there. Kinda curious to meet her."

Minerva tilted her head, amused as she responded.

"Ah, yes. Your maid found her. Poor thing was in rough shape when they brought her in. But Rakasha worked her magic, she is fully healed now. Still, it's what she is that surprised us.... I wonder how the hell she even came to this world."

"She is an flugel, right?"

Adam asked, his curiosity growing.

"Also… what exactly makes flugels and monsters so different? Aren't we all from different worlds within the Supernatural Void?"

Minerva shifted slightly, brushing her hair back as she set down her bowl, sitting on the side of the bed as she stretch her arms.

"Not quite. She is what we would call a Nephilim, half angel, half demon. So… kind of both."

She paused, then added.

"As for the difference? Think night and day."

"Angels are made of Astrum, pure spiritual light. For example when we activate out Spirit Awakening forms, and become energy beings? That is kind of what angels are to an extent. They have bodies, yeah, they can bleed, they have organs, but everything about them is made from condensed light. They're born whole. Perfect. No evolution. No Shinso Forms. No second stages of evolution like most, when an angel is born they are born from songs, instead of phsycial birth the more powerful the song the stronger the angel."

She leaned back a little, letting her voice drift naturally.

"They're also tied to Elysium, their divine realm. As long as it exists, they can draw unlimited energy from the Mother Sunis, their core source. It's like having a direct link to an infinite battery, similar to how us Shinso Monster like me and you have infinite energy created by our cells. That is what lets them use light magic without ever running dry."

"...Well unless they are fallen flugels atleast, every angel has infinite light Astrum to work with for a sling as their connection to the Sunis persist."

Adam nodded slowly upon hearing this, as he then asked.

"So… what happens when one falls then?"

"If they fall, like the girl you're about to meet… it means their god cast them out, or has betrayed the pantheon in some way. As such they are severed from the connection. No more endless energy. No more divine privilege, as such have to recharge their energy on their own. They're still powerful, but they're grounded, and limited."

"Hmmm, and this girl, has she gotten back her memories yet?"

Adam asked, it wasn't too long ago since he learn about this girl, and how she fell from the sky, got healed somewhat, however is suffering from memory lost.

"…No, unfortunately she is still like a blank canvas. Whatever attacked her did serious damage beyond repair. She lost both her wings in the assault, and she only has one leg and one arm left."

Minerva's voice softened, a mix of pity and frustration in her tone.

"But thanks to Rakasha's healing abilities, she managed to craft prosthetics for the girl using her own flesh, alongside unique monster parts. The problem is, Ella's body keeps rejecting both Rakasha's and the other monster tissue's, and their different monster energy. So Rakasha had to improvise, she built a power core into each limb, giving them independent energy sources. Every three days, she needs to recharge them to make sure the remain functional."

She sighed, sipping her sake before finishing the thought.

"So yeah… the limbs Ella has now are artificial, but they work. She can walk, grab things, and thankfully live, more or less. It's a far better fate than being completely crippled you know."

"I see... Can't she heal on her own though?!"

"Maybe… but Priscilla confirmed her Divine Core is severely damaged. She is not even sure how to fix it, or if it's even possible. I mean, it is not every day you see a holy being end up in the Monster World, you know?"

Minerva's tone turned serious.

"Flugels need their Divine Core to survive. If it is destroyed, it is basically like erasing their soul. And with how damaged hers is, her healing is either painfully slow… or, as Priscilla theorized, it might be too far gone to help with recovery at all."

"A pity, well that aside, can I come with you big sis?!"

"No, not yet, beside your supposed to meet Nyx tommarow after all, she coming personally to your castle."

"Nyx... More martial art training I presume?"

Adam asked, and Minerva replied.

"Hmm something like that, tommarow you are going to take more advanced lessons with her tommarow, beside if.ypu want to meet the other girls again you need to complete my training before you see the likes of home."

"Sigh fineee...

Adam said, giving up on going home to meet the others.

"Fufufu... Good, now then, come here my strong little man, let me snuggle up with you, and let get some sleep, we are both going to be bussy tommarow."

Minerva said, grabbing Adam, as she squeeze, and hug him tightly, as Adam got drown between her large boobs.

Feeling this Adam, let the soft sensation overtake him, as he, quickly fall asleep in her loving embrace.

It wasn't long till his eyes shut, and his mind drift.

Comfortable, and safe, Adam unnaturally went into a deep sleep in Minerva hands, deeper than usual as his mind travel to the dream world.

Not be his own free will rather, something has formed a connection with Adam, summoning him into their domain.

Inside, he see nothing but Darkness, ancient and powerful, he could feel a primal dread coursing through him, as he floats in the darkness, he saw a series of giant eyes opening up in the distance, and the voice of a man could be heard, as it speak in a heavy and scary tone.

"Soon, this key will fall, master the other books before then... We... We must reclaim our po...

The connection is stop, as a stronger more closer connection formed, as Adam was pulled somewhere else. Pulling him from this dark world, the moment it sense his presence in the dream world. Unborn it still was, yet it's power unnatural even before it's grand birth.

At this point, Adam found himself as just a figure, he had no mouth, his astral body not properly form, however he found himself in the same collsiuium in the monster village back when he rescued the inhabitants of Ultima village.

A figure in the dark, a glowing cacoon brimming with great power as a child float in that cacoon, it figure was not of a little girl rather it look mostly mature, as if it was already aging inside the cacoon.

"Father... Father... Father... Father... Father...

It chanted, saying only one word in a hoarse monotone, but after noticing Adam was here.

It began to speak differently, almost existed.

"Father, More... More energy, evolution close... More energy required, father... Help me... Need more energy...

Almost instinctively, like a mother defending her young, a parental instinct took over Adam, a he instinctively gave the unborn monster more energy like a baby feeding wirelessly from there mother's breast.

Sucking their milk to get their fill, in this case, the unborn monster child feed off Adams Monster Energy desperately.

Adam energy began to drain at a rapid pace, yet no matter how much the unborn entity took it could not drain Adam, more, and more, it took to the point the Monster itself, began overflow.

The energy taken form him, was so large that it was enough energy to destroy several large stars in one go.

And right after, the child began to speak saying.

"Thank you, Father… My evolution will succeed because of you. I'm almost there… I just need to properly assimilate everything I've taken in. Once I do, my birth will be complete… and then, then we can finally be together…

In that moment, Adam's eyes snapped open.

He clutched his head as a sharp pulse ran through his skull. His brain throbbed violently, twitching like something inside was shifting.

"What the hell?!"

He sat up, heart pounding, breath shaky. The dream, no, dreams had felt too real to be just a dream.

"W-Was that a dream?... God, it felt so real."

Adam whispered to himself, shaken. But after a few moments, he managed to regain his composure, breathing out slowly.

"Hm... Bad dream?"

Came Minerva's voice from nearby.

She stood near the dresser, adjusting the blood-red sarashi wrapped tightly around her chest. The cloth hugged her curves snugly as she secured it into place.

Adam glanced over and gave a sheepish smile while rubbing his forehead.

"Yeah. I had this weird dream… So vivid it honestly scared me."

"It was alike multiple people was reaching out to me at once, each with their own problems."

Hearing this Minerva began to speak.

"Dreams, huh…

Minerva mused, tightening the final knot.

"You're from the Lineage of Desires, aren't you?"

"Normally those born from the lineage of Desires, Nightmares, Memories, or Fantasies… they usually have a natural link to the Dream World in some shape or form."

She turned to face him, her expression thoughtful.

"This new connection of yours might be a sign, your Metahuman abilities could be on the verge of evolving."

"Huh? Evolving?"

Adam blinked, clearly surprised. Then his curiosity got the better of him.

"So… how exactly do monsters evolve?"

Minerva smiled at the question, always pleased when he sought knowledge.

"There is no single path."

She began, walking over and sitting beside him.

"The most common method is consuming a stronger monster, or multiple monsters. Their energy supplements your own, pushing you toward the next evolutionary rank."

She rested her elbows on her knees, casually explaining.

"Alternatively, using your abilities often causes your body to adapt and grow on its own. There is also the death route, when you're on the brink of dying, your body might evolve to survive… though that's rare, and not guaranteed."

Hearing this, Adam nodded slowly, absorbing every word.

"Then there is forbidden magic and ancient rituals, shortcuts, but dangerous ones. Cheating the system comes with a price, so if you are to use those methods, it is at your own risk."

She leaned in slightly, her tone more curious now.

"But if you're having vivid, dreams? That usually means your body is close to its next stage. I would say… trust it, and act on it. And reach Stage Two."

"…Stage Two, huh?."
