MTLNOVEL Chapter 107: Evolution and Departure
---
The morning after his intense battle with the Lich, Dabi stood alone in a secluded area of Darkwood Forest.
The air was cool and crisp, a stark contrast to the chaotic battlefield he had left behind.
His mind was racing as he reviewed the notifications from the system, still buzzing with the rewards he had received.
System Notification:
High-Level Dimension Gate Cleared!
Reward: 1,000,000 EXP Points, Mystery Item, Skill Evolution Card
Level up rewards: Level +16
Bonus: 3 unique items, Stats points received: 88, Mana increased by +1500
Level: 110

Dabi let the notifications sink in as he opened his status screen to examine the rewards in detail. His eyes scanned the numbers, feeling the surge of power coursing through him.
Name: Dabi (Level 110)
Class: Sovereign of Space (Mythical Class)
Strength: 124
Agility: 120
Endurance: 120
Intelligence: 100
Mana: 1500 / 3000

He stared at the 88 unallocated stat points, knowing that this was his opportunity to fine-tune his strengths. After considering the upcoming challenges, Dabi began to distribute his points strategically.
Allocate Points:
Agility: +30
Endurance: +30
Strength: +28
---
New Stats:
Strength: 152
Agility: 150
Endurance: 150
Intelligence: 100

With the points now allocated, Dabi immediately felt the difference. His body felt lighter, faster, and more durable.
The strength coursing through his muscles was almost overwhelming, but Dabi had trained long enough to control it.
Next, he opened his inventory to inspect the Skill Evolution Card he had received. It shimmered in the air as he held it between his fingers.
This item was rare and could only be used once to enhance one of his skills permanently. He didn't hesitate. Dabi knew which skill he wanted to evolve: Summon Wolf Pack.
The sprits pets, Fen, Whity, and Nyx, had been with him through thick and thin. He don't use the summon wolf skills, it's time to elevate this skill to something even more powerful.
Use Skill Evolution Card on 'Summon Wolf Pack'? Confirm?
Y/N.
Dabi mentally confirmed, watching as the card dissolved into particles of light. The system chimed in again, and his Summon Wolf Pack skill began to glow and shift.
Skill Evolution Successful!
Summon Wolf Pack → Dimensional Summon
Dimensional Summon: The user can summon powerful creatures and races from other dimensions. Intelligent races won't obey the summoner directly but may be contracted if both party angry are met. Summon will disappear after 6 hour unless summoner makes a master servant contract.
The new ability was far more potent than he had anticipated. Now, Dabi could call upon beings from other worlds, not just his loyal wolves.
But he knew there was a balance to this power. Intelligent races required contracts to be summoned, and such agreements weren't easily forged. He'd need to be careful with this new skill.
Dabi smiled, feeling his power growing exponentially. It was time to return home.
Dabi walked back through the gates of the small house he had lived for 18 years with his siblings, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.
The battle with the Lich had been exhausting, both mentally and physically, but now it was over, and he had grown significantly stronger.
He stepped into the quiet house and found the lights dimmed. In the living room, Nafo, their protector, sat on the sofa, a warm cup of tea in her hands. He gave him a soft smile as he entered.
"Welcome back," Nafo said, his voice gentle but firm. "Your siblings are asleep."

Dabi nodded, glancing toward the closed doors of Eli and Mira's rooms. His heart softened at the thought of his little brother and sister sleeping soundly, oblivious to the battles he had just fought.
"Thanks for watching over them," Dabi said quietly, taking a seat across from Nafo.
Nafo nodded and stood up. "Get some rest, Dabi. Tomorrow will be another long day."
Dabi leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes for a brief moment. He knew he was right. Tomorrow, they would leave for Celestial City and begin a new chapter at Astral Heaven Academy.
The morning sun streamed through the windows, casting soft rays of light across the room.
Dabi woke early and found Nafo preparing breakfast. The siblings were still asleep, giving Dabi a few moments of quiet before the day began in earnest.
Shortly after breakfast, In the admission office the 20 new recruits who had received offers for admission to Astral Heaven Academy began arriving.
They all seemed a bit anxious but excited. Out of the 20, only 11 accepted the offer, including Jeni Zen's sister and Dabi's close friends. Among them was Kiba, the young man who had shown great potential.
Dabi observed Kiba from a distance. The boy had a sharp mind and a fierce determination to grow stronger.
Dabi could see a lot of potential in him and made a mental note to keep an eye on his progress.
"That boy will be powerful one day," Dabi thought to himself as he watched Kiba interact with the other recruits. "I'll make sure he stays on the right path."
Farak, one of the academy's senior instructors, appeared a little while later and gathered the recruits.
His commanding voice rang out, snapping everyone to attention.
"Pack everything you need," Farak said, his tone firm but not unkind. "We leave for Celestial City at dawn tomorrow.
Make sure you're prepared. There will be no turning back."
The recruits nodded eagerly, rushing off to gather their belongings. Dabi, however, took his time.
He had already packed everything the night before, knowing full well that once they left, they wouldn't be returning for a long time.
The Journey to Celestial City began, The next day came quickly, and by dawn, the group was ready to depart.
They traveled in a convoy of carriages provided by Astral Heaven Academy, moving swiftly through the vast forests and plains that separated them from the capital.
Celestial City was a grand metropolis, far larger than any place new students even seen.
It was a hub of power, knowledge, and influence, where the most powerful academies and factions held sway.
The closer they got, the more awe-struck the recruits became, whispering excitedly among themselves.
The journey took most of the day, and by the time they arrived at Astral Heaven Academy, the sky had turned a deep shade of purple, the sun setting behind the massive stone walls of the academy.
Farak led the recruits inside, directing them to their dorms. The new students, weary from the journey, eagerly found their rooms and settled in for the night. Dabi, however, had a different destination.
He quietly left the group and made his way toward his family's home near the academy grounds.
The headmaster, Raghnall Ferrin, had suggested the residence for Dabi and his siblings when they first arrived at the academy, and it had become their sanctuary.
Dabi slipped inside the house, the familiar warmth greeting him like an old friend. His siblings were already asleep, tucked away in their rooms. He smiled to himself, feeling a sense of peace wash over him.
Dabi also check on Loira she is still in the recuperation. Dabi see one mana stone is completely absorbed and she is on the second mana stone now. Then dabi puts his siblings to sleep with Fen and whity.
Dabi think in his mind, Tomorrow, his training would begin again. But tonight, he could rest.
The morning light filtered through the windows of the academy as Dabi prepared for his first day back.
The familiar weight of anticipation settled in his chest as he thought about the upcoming challenges.
Astral Heaven Academy was not for the weak, and the trials ahead would only get harder.
But Dabi was ready.
He had grown stronger, and he would continue to grow.
The power of the Sovereign of Space flowed through him, and with the new abilities he had unlocked, there was no limit to how far he could go.
As he stepped out of his home, he took one last look at the horizon.
This was only the beginning of his journey, and Dabi was prepared to face whatever came next.
