Location: Udyr Kingdom, Satriona Continent: Northern Snowy Mountains/ Great Forest

A cliff overlooking a mighty forest laid in front of Jackson and a snowy mountain lay at his back. Jackson was no more, he just wonders what awaits him in this world.

The sky bled black and had speckles of beauty spread across it, three moons sat next to each other overlooking the world. Such incredible beauty existed in this world, endless discoveries littered before this mighty being created from human and dragon, a union as vast as the sky above.

'What should be my first meal?' he looked hungrily at the forest ahead, the hunt excited him. He spreads his wings, as he heads toward the sky scouring the ground below, finally he spots his prey.

"Hello there." A predatory growl escapes with his human words, he discovers what appears as a young griffin flying low over the forest. The griffin is renowned for having the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. Jackson tucks his wings and plummets down toward the griffin, the animal has no time to react as it was grabbed by mighty jaws snapping its back. He feels something at the back of his mind but decided it would be best to ignore it for now.

The black dragon opens its wings just skimming off a few of the trees and heads back toward his lair.

Suddenly he feels a cluster of living beings at the edge of the forest because seeing wouldn't be the appropriate phrase.

'There was a civilization close to here?'

He turns his body south of the forest and there he sees buildings on the horizon shimmering, with faint pulses of magic.

'I'll have to be careful, can't be attracting attention to myself.' he thought before he continued flying back to his lair.

Flapping a couple of times he soars toward the entrance. Upon entering his lair he discovered that in the corners were more hoarded items but it just looked like valuable clothing, metal baths, and cupboards made from magical white oak wood. He placed his dinner down in front of the stream before he started devouring it, starting with the heart. His body told him this would be an appropriate starting dish, he then consumed the rest of the front half and left the back for later, he couldn't leave anything to go to waste. as much as the griffin was prey he would respect every part of it as much as he could.

'Next, I want to see what these powers are.' he pondered, feeling a lot better than he had earlier. As dragons get older they get an affinity for magic and also get powers exclusive to their race. He was hardly over four centuries old so he only had two racial powers but he knew that they could have five of these so-called draconic powers, from what little information he got from the book.

"Now how do I use them?" he pondered before it hit him, literally, a headache that forced him to the ground. And as soon as it came it disappeared with a thought of how to see his power.

"System?" he whispered dumbstruck by what he just discovered.

"Wow, guess there's a lot to get used to." he stared dumbfounded at his status, taking a seat he coiled his tail under his chin while in thought.

"So let's see. I'm not sure whether my attributes are good or bad. Let's leave that for when I venture out into the world, I don't know how to use magic so let's leave that. So that leaves me with my draconic powers and shapeshifting." he contemplates while inspecting his skills. After which he dismissed his status.

First, he tried using his 'Flame of the Abyss' across the water and had to focus deeply within his chest to find the feeling within. What came out was a purple flame that incinerated the water within the stream, he felt like it was powerful, in his view, as the water flowed from the mountain again. There was no way of testing his 'Heart of the Abyss' but he knew that it should always be there unless he withdrew it.

After which he went back to thinking. His eyes wandered over his belongings or treasures. His eyes wandered towards the white shelf with books on it, he already knew almost everything he needed about himself and the world he was in. Excluding political dilemmas, borders, and such. Which wasn't in the book the guardian provided with the information and the system.

He looked at a red-bound book that gave off a mystical aura.

《System Alert: Elven Tome discovered》

《Absorb Spells: Yes/No》

"I was asleep for a long time and I won't tire for another 2 centuries, judging by my previous sleep patterns. " he sat at the end of the streambed staring at his reflection. "Guess I could look at these spells and decide if it's worth trying, going out can wait. "

"Yes," he replied.

《New section added to Status, Spells》

He felt the spells within his mind, shortly after a window appeared.

-Spells-

Dark Nova (Tier 4): Combination of fire and darkness creates a corrosive explosion. Stealth (Tier 3): Bend darkness to your will and hide within the shadows, works best in darker areas. Life Drain (Tier 4): The life force of any living being destroyed by your chaos magic, can be absorbed by you as life essence to heal yourself.

There are still other spells he could feel but he couldn't use anything above tier 4 magic. But for now, these were the only ones that seem to be of any use to him, he needed to increase his magical power. He had never used magic of any kind before so this was not surprising but still disappointing.

'It would be useless to use Stealth, Life Drain, or Dark Nova right now, they seem to only work on other beings or are too destructive,' he thought while running his claw through the water 'However I did miss something under my draconic traits, which I haven't tested yet and it could help disguise me when traveling.'

《Shapeshift: you can assume any form and retain your draconic power.》

He studied the way to execute it in his mind and decided he was ready after a couple more reviews.

"What would the appropriate form be to take in this world amongst the civilians be, there are quite a few bipedal beings which I assume are either humans, dwarves, elves, beastkin or other such races that exist across this continent." he reviewed whilst thanking the old guardian for the information.

Thus he started creating different forms over the river occasionally pacing back and forth until finally, he decided a human form would be more appropriate as he was going to a human civilization after all.

During an attack on a village when humans didn't live in such big civilizations and he and his kind still ruled the skies, before they got hunted, he could still remember what they looked like. Humans never pose a threat individually but they had greater numbers and magical weapons made to kill dragons.

《Shapeshift underway…》

He started the painful transformation of compressing his body mass, from his massive black draconic form to a human form.
