Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

Rowan woke up quite late; Riela was still sleeping peacefully beside him. He observed her lovely figure with a calm smile on his face before proceeding to perform some push-ups and sit-ups to strengthen his bones a little bit. Afterwards, he went into the bathroom, had his bath, changed into a new set of clothes, and strolled out of the house.

It was around 7 a.m., and people were already outside their homes, doing some simple morning chores. Since Rowan had declared today a holiday to celebrate his victory and wedding, no one went to the farm, and only a few soldiers went to guard the border.

"Lord Rowan, you look so awesome this morning!"

"Good morning, Lord Rowan! How was your night?"

They greeted him with smiles on their faces. Rowan responded to all the greetings casually. Usually, when he got up for the day, most of the people were either on their farms working or busy with other tasks, and they didn't have the luxury of sharing greetings in the morning.

Some of the young men couldn't stop looking at Rowan with admiration in their eyes, while the young ladies gave him bright smiles.

"Lord Rowan, can we see your divine pet?" some of the young ladies approached him and requested with curious eyes.

The stories about Blaze had long spread across the village, but no one had actually set their eyes on him.

"No problem," Rowan smiled and called Blaze out of the Divine Beast Plain.

Blaze appeared out of the portal as usual and landed beside Rowan.

Blaze was now more than one foot tall and reached Rowan's knee when standing on all fours. Its fur had become smoother, and its color was even more brilliant; there was still a warm aura radiating from it. Its eyes now shone with a little maturity and mischief as it gazed at the beautiful ladies looking at him with bright expressions.

Rowan had been so busy that he missed a lot of Blaze's development. Thus, seeing the messages following its stats made him even more surprised and proud of his mischievous pet.

The ladies had already drawn closer and were patting Blaze's smooth fur while it let out cute sounds that made them giggle.

Rowan watched with a slight frown on his face; Blaze had already matured but still acted like a puppy in the presence of beautiful ladies.

Nevertheless, he didn't spoil the fun and let the ladies play with it for a few minutes before calling Blaze to his side and waving the ladies goodbye. They waved back at him cheerfully and wished him a good day before walking in a separate direction.

'You little mischievous brat, you have grown so much. I am proud of you,' Rowan communicated telepathically as he squatted and tried to pat Blaze, but it swiftly moved away from him. The speed at which Blaze evaded surprised Rowan.

['I need monster cores, lots of them,'] Blaze suddenly requested.

'Hmm, you want to go for the major breakthrough so soon?' Rowan asked with a frown.

['Yes, I want to be stronger. I don't want to pee myself like that day with those ugly rat bastards!'] Blaze replied.

Blaze walked beside Rowan as they made their way to the southern part of the village where Rowan planned to begin his reconstruction of the building and utilize the blueprints he obtained from D'andre. When others observed, they only saw their lord and his divine pet strolling; they couldn't tell they were having a serious discussion.

'Haha, I can still remember your scared face that day. You were so terrified, you couldn't let go of me...' Rowan teased.

Blaze growled angrily at him in response.

Both of them continued on their way while discussing amongst themselves. They agreed on a time for Blaze to try his first major breakthrough.

Rowan was a bit proud that his pet had its own motivation to become stronger and wasn't just getting stronger because it had to; this would create a stronger will within it.

As they strolled towards their destination, some of the Glenwood soldiers approached Rowan, greeted him, and volunteered to escort him. Of course, Rowan didn't have a problem with that. In fact, he needed a few hands to carry out certain tasks over there.

He also met Brandon on his way, and Brandon joined the small group.

After a few minutes of strolling, they finally arrived at the farm area where a small hill of wood could be seen, reaching an admirable height.

The Glenwood soldiers were a little amazed by the large number of wood. However, if they learned that it only took Rowan and his soldiers two days, they would be very surprised.

"Sigh, because of the war and all that, we didn't have enough time to build the guard houses we discussed," Rowan muttered with a sigh as he observed it.

"It was for the best that we focused on the war instead. If not, who knows what would have become the fate of our people?" Brandon tapped him on the shoulder and said.

Rowan nodded.

"We need to start building the guard houses and reconstructing the destroyed houses as soon as we can. We have more people in the village than usual, and they need a place to stay," he said afterwards.

The soldiers beside him couldn't help but agree.

Rowan already had plans to expand his territory by clearing the bushes and forests surrounding it, but that would be after he was done with the tasks inside the village. One shouldn't forget that Rowan was no longer the village head of a single village but two, which meant he had to think about evolving both.

It was a difficult task, but Rowan already had a lot of experience from playing the game back on Earth.

Rowan didn't waste any time at all and instructed the soldiers to begin carrying some of the wood to the locations where they would be needing it.

The soldiers didn't complain and got into action instantly. They carried the wood from the farm to the border. Brandon escorted them and showed them the spot to place them down.

Blaze also escorted them to scout for nearby threats if they were present, while Rowan remained and began his next phase of action.

He opened his inventory and viewed the available blueprints.
