Once again, I was inside the void. With my sense of self-gone, I stared into that endless nothingness as two different memories flashed before my eyes. After what seemed to be an eternity, the memories of my past two lives merged. At that moment, my sense of self returned and I felt like... I was finally... free... An intense feeling of freedom welled up within me... It was as if... I was finally liberated from the constraints that have been binding me forever...

It felt surreal. And now that I have both the memories of being human and a wolf, I could say with certainty that I am an entirely new being. I am not that twisted Familia Head, nor that naïve young wolf. I am... me... A new existence that just happened to have the memories of two different lives... I am... an entirely new life...

As all that realization dawned on me, I heard a voice coming from the void.

[Evolution Complete]

That mechanical voice woke me up from my slumber, but compared to the other times I slept, this felt different. It was as if together with my consciousness, all of my other senses have also shut down. I could even feel all my senses starting to become active as my drowsiness subsides. Then when I became fully awake, I heard the mechanical voice once again.

[Congratulations. Individual (Unnamed) has now evolved from Dire Wolf Cub to Dire Wolf Variant]

Oh yeah. Apparently, I am now fully awakened. And looks like instead of evolving into Dire Wolf, I've evolved into a Dire Wolf Variant. Maybe that awakening thing has something to do with me getting BOTH my memories back? As I tried to remember all that happened after I fell asleep, another announcement resounds directly in my head.

[As a result of evolution, Inherent Skill Small Fangs has evolved into Racial Skill Rabid Fangs]

Oh sweet! Looks like that useless skill evolved along with me! I hope it isn't useless now.

[Additionally, Inherent Skill Scratching Claws was also acquired]

What the heck is with that weak sounding name?! Did I just gain another useless skill?! Come on, man! I thought evolution was supposed to make me stronger!!
