Robin looked at the others after he saw Dan's ten fingers، before shaking his head and disappearing while holding a cup, he kind of had a feeling that it won't end with just those ten drops so he decided to simply go and bring a cup of dragon's blood back.
He soon returned with a cup of dragon blood before dropping ten drops of it in the bathtub and just as he expected those ten drops disappeared as fast as the five before them, and they ended up looking at Dan who was underwater again.
Without waiting for him to do anything Robin dropped another ten drops which had the same effect as before, finally he simply purred half the cup in the bathtub making Dan's eyes plug inside it, he couldn't believe that Robin had just thrown that much dragon blood in one time.
But then he soon calmed down as he understood that he still could handle it.
His body at that moment was hungry for power, it needed it for healing and a small part of the power absorbed from the blood even headed to his heart, so he wasn't going to experience an overload and die because his body wasn't able to handle the power it was given.
That time, after Robin poured half a cup of dragon blood to the bathtub, there finally was a few differences then before, the first one was only felt by Dan who felt the speed of the warm streams entering his body getting slower and his muscles were getting better, while the second change was felt by the others.
It was how Dan started emitting pressure, it was a familiar pressure that all of them had felt before, the pressure of a dragon, the pressure was faint but it was there.
None of them there understood what was really happening to Dan but they knew that it wasn't normal at the least.
A while later when the red color disappeared entirely from the water and was replaced by a greasy gray substance that made it hard to look through, Dan felt something weird inside him, it was like the power that ability users feel going through their bodies but he knew that that wasn't the power of an ability, it was something else.
Knowing that he was finally alright, Dan set inside the bathtub and looked at everyone around him.
"Hey, it seems that I survived this time." He said jokingly.
"Yeah you did, but can you please tell us what happened, you said it was because of the Crystal, but what did the Crystal do?" Nero asked what everyone there was thinking about, they simply wanted to know how did he end in such a horrible state.
Dan sighed after hearing that question before he started talking about what happened to him.
"So... You basically listened to the orders of a Crystal." Randy said.
The others also looked at him speechlessly.
"Not exactly but you are free to think of it like that." Dan murmured in a voice that everyone in the room was able to hear.

"Anyway do you have any idea what that Crystal was, I mean it dissolved when it got in the blood bath and probably it became a part of you, as it seem that you have absorbed it." Randy asked.
"I really don't know what that Crystal is." Dan answered helplessly.
"What about changes, are there any, do you feel different anyhow?" Robin asked.
"When you ask me about wither there are any changes, the only thing I can think about is that there's some power going through my body it seems like the power that ability users feel but it's also somehow different." Dan said uncertainty.
"Then let's try and see if there's any weird things about you." Nero said.
"How are you going to do that?"
"Experiments of course." Nero answered Dan's question happily.
"... Ok we will do just that, here give me a hand." Dan said while extending his hand to Randy to pull him, he had to change first before doing any experiments.
Randy caught his hand before pulling, and as he did a weird thing happened making everyone in the room shocked.
Dan flew from the bathtub, he got pulled by Randy as if he weighted nothing at all, and he crushed to Randy who wasn't expecting that at all, and what was weird was that Randy didn't even move it was as if a feather hit him, he just stood there not knowing what happened, the same as everyone in the room.
"Randy when did you become this strong?" Nero asked while looking at Dan who was on the floor.
"No... I mean I just pulled him, I didn't even use that much strength..." Randy said while looking at his hand, he didn't understand what was happening at all, he just pulled Dan a little trying to help him stand up, he had no idea how it ended up like that.
Not believing him Nero moved toward Dan who had a blank look on his face and he held him by the hand before pulling hard upward.
What happened next was even more unbelievable then what happened with Randy; Dan simply flew upward for a meter before starting to fall again.
"Stop it you guys." Dan shouted after he fall down.
He actually didn't feel anything at all not even a hint of pain, but he just didn't find it funny being thrown around.
"Man what's wrong with you, you don't even weight ten km, did you lose wright or what?" Nero asked, the teasing tone in his voice was apparent.
"I don't know, probably it's because of the Crystal." Dan said after a while of thinking.
"So... At least now we can say for sure that the Crystal is the reason why the new gravity is not affecting us."
"Yeah it's probably the reason, after all when I was suffering through that pain, I felt that whatever was destroying the muscles all over my body, was heading to my heart, and as you saw the crystal that we found inside the dragon was in its heart, so at least we can take this as a prove that there are crystals inside our hearts." Dan said.

"So what? Are you going to be a weightless man for the rest of your life?" Randy said.
"I don't know..." Dan said while sighing he regretted putting that crystal in the blood bath.
"Dan you have memories of our world so you probably already know this but I'll say it anyway, in our world there are people with the ability to control gravity a little, and those people don't just make it stronger or weaker, they are capable of changing it at will, maybe you too can change your weight at will, the chance of that is small but at least try it." Robin said after a long while of silence.
His words gave Dan a little more hope so he closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on his heart, as that was the place where the crystal was, and it probably was the reason why all that was happening to him.
He tried to think of it as an ability and use his imagination to control it, then he opened his eyes and looked at Robin, who nodded and pulled him and what happened was...
Dan flew again.
It was actually worst that time as he flew from more than two meters, he then fall again to the ground.
"You should have at least caught me." Dan said grudgingly.
"Sorry totally forgot about that."
"So it didn't work" Anie asked.
"Yeah it seems weird but I almost felt that it worked, I was almost one hundred percent that it did but for some reason it didn't." Dan said with a sigh, before adding:
"But don't worry I felt it, it's true I can control it I'm just missing something."
He really felt as if it worked, but in that last second when Robin pulled him he felt that something was wrong, as if he was missing something, it's just that he didn't know what it was.
"Just search for that missing part then." Leonard said.
"Of course I will, there a way so I won't stop." Dan said with a smile, he meant it as long as there was a way he wasn't going to lose his hope and he was going to find it.
"So we found one thing that changed after your absorbed that crystal and I can tell you that we also can feel something weird from you, I just just wanted you to know that as it might help you." Randy said.
"What are you feeling?" Dan asked interestingly.
"We kind of feel a faint pressure from you, it's like the pressure we felt from the dragon when we stood in front of it." Robin explained.
"Like the pressure we felt from the dragon..." Dan murmured to himself.
Then as if thinking about something he closed his eyes and started concentrating, soon after he opened his eyes and once again nodded toward Robin.
Robin didn't know if it was going to work or not so he decided not to use a lot of power when pulling Dan that time.
So when he did that Dan actually didn't move at all, thinking that it was only because he didn't put enough power, he decided to try again while putting way more power behind it, what happened next was unexpected for him.
Dan was just like an unmovable mountain he didn't even budge, making Nero and the others show shocked expressions.
Crack!
They were all shocked and surprised for a while till they finally heard the sound of wood cracking, looking under Dan they saw that the wooden floor under him crack and start breaking.
"Hey stop whatever you are doing, just stop it you will make us sink." Robin shouted.
He noticed that the floor was going to break, and if that happened he would fall down to the lower floor, probably breaking it too.
The cracking sound and Robin's shout made Dan understand that his weight was way more than he expected, and he closed his eyes and started trying to change his weight making it lighter.
"So now you can control your weight." Nero said while sighing.
"Yeah I can." Dan said happily, he was quite happy as he knew that he wouldn't be as weightless as a feature anymore.
"So how were you able to control it this time, what changed?" Nero asked him, his words made all the others look at Dan in expectation, they were quite curious how he was able to do it after failing the first time.
"It was because of Robin's explanation about how you were feeling a faint pressure from me, and how that pressure was like the one we felt from the injured dragon." Dan started his explanations.
"That made me think how I had absorbed dragon blood and that crystal which was also a part of a dragon, and how I had a part of a dragon inside me, and how when I tried to controlling it I felt that something was missing, it was the dragon part I mean the dragon was the owner of the crystal, it was a part of it, and ever since the beginning I was only able to feel it when I was inside the blood bath.
"Then I remembered the power going through my body that seemed like the power which the ability users have but weirder, and I had an idea, what if that was the dragon part inside me the dragon power, so I closed my eyes and started feeling it and I found that it truly had a hint of dragon's pressures."

8 173A Bloody Game

Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.
