Later that night, Aren lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling of the inn. He took a deep breath to calm himself, then spoke.
"System, start the evolution."
The moment he said it, the system screen activated. Just like before, three evolution paths appeared before him.
[Shadow Warlock.]
[Shadow Necromancer.]
[Shadow Battle Mage.]
The system began explaining each one.
[Shadow Warlock — draw upon ancient shadow powers from primordial shadowy beings, harnessing borrowed strength for battle and overwhelming enemies with power that does not belong to the user.]
[Shadow Necromancer — gain additional skills focused on summoning shadowy beings from the depths of the abyss and beyond.]
And finally—
[Shadow Battle Mage — harness shadow both as a mage and as a martial combatant, combining spellcasting and close-quarters combat into a single destructive path.]
Aren focused on the last option. It wasn't as detailed as the others, but it made the most sense.
