As the lights began to fade, Cell realized he might be in danger. How would his organism react to night, how would the weather, how would he see any predators.
[Host is in distress!
Searching urgent evolution]

"This seems realizable" Cell said as he started absorbing energy. "Hmm, my absorption has doubled in efficacy, so this new phase also increases my growing speed".
Time quickly passed as Cell noticed the interface again
[Energy threshold met. Would you like to unlock Sight- 2?]
[Y/N]
Cell tapped the yes button, the world around him changing once again.
If his past vision was comparable to a bug's vision, now he could see more than simply blurry shapes. The darkness also morphed into something more comfortable. Definitely not a infra-red- like vision, but enough to see anything moving around him.
Cell tried to move as little as possible, absorbing more and more energy.
The night was silently passing, only the occasional rumbles in the liquid that would have caused Cell's hair to shiver, if he had any, or a head, could be heard. The notification ringed again.
[+1 Energy
+1 Energy..]
[Energy threshold met. Would you like to unlock Cellular Duplication?]
Cell tapped yes, and a strange feeling rose out of him.
Form: Cell-Main
Phase: 1
Energy: 3/100
Abilities: Basic Absorption, Sight II, Flagellum, Membrane
Cellular Duplication
He had a feeling he could divide his body, but he wondered, how would it work.
[Duplication available
Energy stocked in the divided cell:1-max]
"Cellular Duplication, 1 energy" Cell thought as his body divided into two pieces, inequal in size.
The former piece only a fifth of Cell's current size.
"Hmm, this is weird, it's like having two separate minds and bodies, but feeling them both just like they are one, atleast I won't be worried that I'll be betrayed by my own clone."
Cell thought as another idea came out of him. "What if I cultivate with the divided cell?"
Time passed as Cell's divided cell cultivated.
[+0,1 Energy]
"Hmm, so about 1 Energy every 10 hours, the rate is not that great, but quantity will make that up, what if I create a duplication with more energy?" Cell thought as he glanced at his 10 accumulated energy.
"Cellular duplication, 10 energy" Cell said as he watched his body morph.
A interface appeared
[Mini-cells: 10
Normal Cell:1]
As he tapped on the normal Cell, an organism 2/3 of Cell's size appeared, which unlike the Mini-cells who had no membrane , this one seemed more round.
"So its like kingdom-building novels " Cell thought with amusament.
The normal cell absorption rate was 1 Energy every 2 hours. But its strength was far beyond the Mini-cells.
Cell created a plan, he first had to gather 30 mini-cells and 5 normal size cells, this was imminent for his future form.
Time quickly passed, daylight came again, but this time Cell had a goal he could achieve in short-term.
He was looking forward for the fuse function. What would it bring into Cell's arsenal?
...4 days later...
[Mini-cells: 28
Cell:4]
[Unlocked abilities: Vibration Sensory System(Sight and hearing through vibration), Photosyntesis(in daylight- absorb 10 energy per hour)]
Cell's growth increased more and more, like a snowball.
The divided cells attacked smaller cells, only once in a while would one of his cells die.
[Energy 75
Energy threshold reached. Unlock Predatory Appendice?]
After Cell's approval, a new feeling rose out of him, hunger, something he had forgotten about, the appendice locked like a little mouth , in a circular shape
Cell quickly spotted a small cell and decided to fulfill his hunger. He quickly approached the cell, inserting it into its insides, absorbing steadily.
[+0.1
+0.1..]
By the time the Energy grew by 4, the cell disappeared.
"This predatory function seems to have a lot of potential too.."
[Energy 100
Energy threshold reached. Unlock Cellular Fusion?]
"Yes" Cell thought as he felt the power surge inside him.
Available cells for fusion:
Mini-Cell:30
Normal Cell:5
"The conversion is 5 to 1 for Normal Cells and 10 to 1 for Mini-Cells, basically the same as the Cellular Division Energy Equal" Cell thought as he quickly exhanged his cells.
Mini Cell> Normal Cell: 3
Normal Cell> Mirror Cell :1 (A typo for the fact that it looks exactly like Cell's phase 1 form)
"This is a new type of cell, it looks exactly like me, I'll call it Mirror Cell. I can feel the potential this ability offers me.."
Some time passed.

1.Darwin's Theory( B+ Class Path)
Humans evolved from monkeys, but who says they hadn't originated from a singular cell. This path shall achieve the peak of evolution, the human-kind, the well known beings of the universe for their wisdom and character.
2.Parasite( ? Class Path)
Why abandon cellular form when you can conquer any being you wish for. You are the first of your kind. Your strength has no ceiling. The price is never having a certain form. No kin, no descendants.
3. Primordial Beast( EX Class Path)

"Am I not seeing it right? Ha... seems like my dream will be achieved... I choose the Primordial Beast" Cell said confidently.
[Choosing P..........Parasite.]
"Huh?"Cell thought..."Wait a little, system what are you doing?"
[Choosing the wisest path to infinity]
"Fuck you.. Why did you even ask me.." Cell mumbled as he got used to the idea...
