The wind stirred the leaves of the tree above, causing them to rustle gently as Tyler's head rested on Joy's soft thighs. Her silver hair danced in the breeze, the strands glimmering like silver threads in the daylight. Joy smiled down at Tyler, warmth radiating from her gaze.

Tyler blinked in confusion and amazement, struggling to grasp what was happening. This girl felt so familiar, yet different, almost like a wisp of a dream. "Joy?" he said, his voice a mix of disbelief and wonder as his eyes widened at the sight of her.

Joy tilted her head slightly, mirroring his confusion, and her smile widened. "Joy," she repeated, letting the name roll off her tongue like a cherished secret.

"No way!" Tyler thought, his mind racing. He abruptly pushed himself off Joy, shifting from her lap to sit up and then quickly standing, unable to contain his shock. He looked at her, taking in the striking changes in her appearance. "What? What happened? You look so different. And you can talk now?" His words tumbled out, bold with disbelief.

Joy simply looked at him, her smile unwavering, radiating joy at seeing him active once more. The wind brushed against Tyler's face, a teasing reminder of the world around them, as Joy stood up quickly in front of him, her energy contagious.

At that moment, a shimmering blue panel appeared in front of Tyler, capturing his attention. It read:

Achievement Unlocked: Speed Evolution

User's pet has met all conditions to evolve before reaching the required level to evolve: Level 10. +50 stat points to each stat.

Tyler's eyes widened further as he absorbed the information, a sense of bewilderment washing over him. How had everything changed so dramatically?

Joy's hand lightly rested on her chest as she gazed down at it, whispering softly, "Joy," as if coming to a profound realization. She had always known this was the name Tyler had given her, but it now felt significant, an awakening of sorts.

A warm sensation spread through her, filling her with a sense of belonging and identity. With a brightening smile, she repeated, "Joy," her eyes twinkling as she looked back at Tyler.

Tyler, still processing the whirlwind of events, thought to himself, *This is crazy! I just fell unconscious, and now you've... evolved?*

The sudden shift in reality was mind-boggling.

Just then, the system panel that had appeared before him faded from his vision, leaving him momentarily disoriented. He couldn't help but marvel at the changes. "Whoa, you have 50 stat points on every stat?" His thoughts continued to race, the implications washing over him. *That's a huge reward, and you're still a level one.*

He cautiously glanced at Joy's stats displayed on the panel, disbelief mingling with excitement as he read through the information. There was so much potential standing before him, and he was eager to understand what this evolution meant for the both of them:

SPECIES: Goblin

Tyler's gaze fell upon the panel again, and he noticed it now read Goblin instead of Goblinth "You're a goblin now?" he muttered under his breath, astonishment racing through him. "So you evolved from that... to a goblin." He brushed his chin thoughtfully with his index finger, processing the transformation.

The system panel shimmered back into view, its message clear:

User's pet has evolved from Goblinth to Goblin, a stronger race. User's pet is rare and extraordinary, therefore stronger than the average Goblin.

As soon as Tyler finished reading, another notification appeared, detailing another surprising evolution:

User's pet's skill Appetite has evolved to Ravenous. The skill allows the user's pet to gain the abilities of the accessories that the user has fed it. Potions will have an additional 30% effect after consumption. 3-day cooldown after use.

Tyler felt his mind swirl with information, almost overwhelmed by the enormity of the changes. *This is all just too much,* he thought, replaying the details in his head. *You've grown stronger, and even your skills have evolved!*

The implications of the newfound "Ravenous" skill settled in; it meant Joy could absorb even more from the things he provided her. He recalled the cooldown now indicated three days instead of a week, and he chuckled lightly, though the sound came out more nervous than excited as he scratched his head, trying to shake off the bewilderment.

Joy might be at level one, but her stats were incredibly high. The potential before him was astonishing, and he couldn't help but feel both proud and anxious about what lay ahead.

As all the system panels vanished from sight, Tyler found himself at a loss for words. "I don't know what to say. You look different... you look... beautiful."

A faint blush crept onto Joy's cheeks, and she instinctively put her hands behind her back, glancing down at the grass beneath them. Her leg lifted slightly as she began to draw small invisible circles in the grass with her big toe, a playful gesture that caught Tyler's attention.

His eyes widened in surprise. *Did she understand that?* he thought, taking a moment to observe her. *Now that I think about it, she seems more aware of what I'm saying, she even said her name earlier.* The memory of her repeating her name flashed through his mind and the gesture, something she had done back when she was small in his room, almost like a child seeking approval.

"Joy," he said sofly. She looked up at him, her eyes slightly widened, vibrant green and sparkling with anticipation. It was clear she recognized her name; she had touched her chest earlier, calling herself Joy as if introducing herself anew.

Feeling inspired, Tyler mirrored her gesture, placing his hand over his own chest. "Tyler," he declared confidently.

Joy frowned in confusion, tilting her head as if trying to piece it all together. "Tyler," he encouraged, pointing at her, "Your Joy, I am Tyler. Go ahead and say it."

"T-Talia," she stammered, an adorable mispronunciation that made Tyler chuckle lightly.

He gently corrected her, "No, it's Tyler..."

"Tyla..." she attempted again, the sound almost musical as it tumbled from her lips.

Tyler pressed his hand against his chest again. "Ty," he said.

Joy's voice followed, tentative. "Ty."

"Ler," Tyler continued, completing the syllable.

"Ler." Her pronunciation wavered slightly, the unfamiliar sounds still finding their place on her tongue.

"Tyler," he said, bringing both parts together.

"Tyler." This time her voice flowed smoothly, the name settling naturally in her mouth.

Tyler chuckled, the sound low and warm. "Yes, that's my name. I am Tyler."

"Tyler." A smile spread across her face as she said it again, as if tasting the word.

He nodded. "Yeah." The simple acknowledgment showed he was answering to his name.

"Tyler." Once more, almost like she was savoring it.

Then she rushed forward and wrapped her arms around him. Tyler's breath caught, his body tensing at the sudden contact. Her hands slid under his arms, palms pressing flat against his back.

"Whoa," he said instinctively, the word escaping before he could stop it.

She felt different now, taller, the top of her head reaching just to his chest, fitting beneath his chin. Her body pressed against his, and warmth crept up Tyler's neck, spreading across his cheeks. This was more than just a hug; something about the way she held him, the way she molded herself against him, felt... different. Yet even transformed, even with this new height and form, she was still Joy, still rushing into embraces without warning.

A smile tugged at Tyler's lips as he brought his arms around her, returning the embrace. As his arms encircled her, she sighed, a sound of pure relief, her eyes drifting closed as if she'd been waiting for this moment.
