'It's… huff… finally done!'
After nearly a full 20 hours passed, Alex absorbed the last remaining bit of energy from the soul orb and watched as the faint red ball of light dissipated as there was no energy left to sustain its light.
He was expecting the process of absorbing a Variant class soul orb to be a little different than that of Mutant or Ordinary classes, but he didn't expect it to be this different.
At most, it would only take him a few hours to absorb a D rank Mutant soul orb.
But this D- rank Variant class soul orb took a whole 20 hours!
And that was with the sudden buff Alex had received near the start — if he didn't get that then it would have taken even longer, probably closer to 30 hours.
'That was so much hard work… I'm almost dreading having to do that for every soul orb I obtain from this point onwards…'
By choosing to absorb this Variant class soul orb, Alex was resigning himself to a much tougher future.
As he had already determined, absorbing lower class soul orbs or beast cores would lower his progress through the class upgrade, and now that he had gained so progress towards Variant class, there was no option for him to use Mutant class soul orbs anymore, unless he was willing to undo all of that effort he just went through.
Of course, this would only erase his Variant class progress, and leave his Mutant class energy untouched, unless he went even further down the dark path and absorbed Ordinary class soul orbs, which would just be a death wish.
'I just significantly slowed my progression through the ranks in the future, but it will be worth it.'
It didn't really bother Alex much, as even if he didn't do this, he still had the requirents to go up each rank, and tier, to worry about.
He was still a D- rank awakened, and that wouldn't change until he found out what the requirent was to rank up, even if his progress reached 100%, that wouldn't change.
'Ti to check what I gained!'
Excited, Alex pulled up his details.

There were a few things that were different from the last ti Alex checked his details, but one thing stuck out in particular.
'I'm 18 now… I don't even rember when my birthday is…'
Alex had finally officially beco an adult, which left him with feelings of emptiness, as he realised that he hadn't even celebrated his birthday since he was just a small child.
Ever since his mother died and his father abandoned them, Alex had stopped keeping track of his birthdays, and it had been so long that he had even forgotten the actual date it was.
He was an adult now, but he didn't feel any different.
However, Alex quickly turned his attention to the things he had actually opened his details to check.
'My soul core's progress has gone up by 28%, and my Soul classification's progress has gone up by 22%... not bad for just one soul orb!'
The progress was good, but he was honestly expecting a little more progress in his soul core considering it was a Variant class soul orb.
That thing packed a lot of energy for sothing so small!
'Anyway, onto the real interesting stuff…'
He was glad with his progress from just one soul orb, but he turned his attention elsewhere.
Sothing far more intriguing and interesting…
