'Ah, too damn bright.'
As the child opens his eyes he sees himself sleeping on a bed. He looks at the window that overlooks his bed.
'New day huh...'
As the child groans, he tries to sit down on the bed.

'Well, what did I expect? I'm still 5 years old. Well, the good thing is, I'm not a Hero. But it's weird though...'
He looked at the floating status screen in front of him, there, he looked at his titles.
'The Silver King.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Silver King
-Pre-requisite: you have pure silver hair
-Effect: ???
This title is (Locked) and cannot be used unless the conditions are met.
This title is (Hidden), it cannot be seen by anyone else but you, no matter what.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Annoying that this didn't change at all.'
Disappointed that there were barely any information or effects, he decided to check all the others, but the results ended the same.
'Well, shit... How about the skills though... Ah, I forgot about this one, Blessing of Babel.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blessing of Babel

This skill is (Hidden), it cannot be seen by anyone else but you, no matter what.
Note: This is a gift from me. Use it wisely~~Noel

'Ah, so that's how I can understand everything here. Well, I can see that she's happy with her new name, that's good. Skill Creation.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skill Creation
Lvl: MAX
Description:
The most powerful magic. You are able to create any skill you want wherever, whenever, and whatever. However, using it comes with a price.
This skill is (Locked) and cannot be used unless the conditions are met.
This skill is (Hidden), it cannot be seen by anyone else but you, no matter what.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Hmm, it's just as I expected. I still need to get stronger to meet that certain condition. The price, I'm guessing is that this skill uses a lot of mana. And, it's a '(Hidden) skill' like all the others... That's good to see. And finally, Ancestral transformation.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ancestral transformation
Lvl: MAX

Return to your roots and show them the might of true dragons! Temporarily transform back into a full dragon that enhances all of your stats. Once the duration finishes, the backlash is immense.
This skill is (Locked) and cannot be used unless the conditions are met.
This skill is (Hidden), it cannot be seen by anyone else but you, no matter what.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Nope, still the same.'
As he looks at the last skill, his eyes darted back to his 'Race', only to see it be filled with question marks.
'Still weird though, it should say I'm a Dragonkin, but it shows question marks instead... Why is that? Hah... I just hope it won't bother me too much in the future. Fire magic'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fire magic
Lvl: 3
Description:
1 of the 4 basic magics. Though it is a very powerful yet versatile element, it doesn't come without a condition, using it costs too much mana and if used for long periods of time, could burn you unless you're resistant to it.
This skill is level 3, you may use basic magic but you won't be able to access intermediate magic until level 4-5 or higher. Using magic meant for level 4 costs more mana than usual. Using magic meant for levels lower than 3 costs less than usual.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Huh, very nice. With my mana being high, I could cast quite a few of these. Hopefully... Inspect'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inspect
Lvl: 2
Description:
A hero's favorite magic. This magic allows you to peek at the status boards of other beings, living or non-living. No lie concerning their status shall come through you. No mana cost required.
This skill is level 2, you may inspect many beings and check their status unless their power is higher. Power is measured by the average of your stats.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'This... I need to upgrade this a lot more. It'll be very useful if I go adventuring in the future. Mana sense.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mana sense
Lvl: 4
Description:
This magic allows you to sense mana at will, making it possible to see the opponents' magic affinities and such. No mana cost required.
This skill is level 4, you may sense mana 50 meters away from you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Yup, this is one of my main priorities. This here will be able to help me sense traps, anything with regards to mana, or heck, maybe even illusions. Welp, since nothing really changed, I need to get ready.'
Kuro stood up from his bed to stretch his body before looking outside through the window.
'I just hope that this new life of mine isn't boring.'
As he thought of those words, he heard loud footsteps outside his room.

'Haa... Here we go.' As he frowns, the footsteps stop and the door opens loudly.
"COME ON CHA- Oh, you're awake." The person that entered his room was a big person.
'I keep forgetting that this big buffed guy is my dad, Doran Burnos Sylphias.'
"Dad, don't yell too loud. It's still early in the morning."
Doran pouts, "Aww come on champ, you always laughed when I woke you up to hug you."
Kuro places both of his hands on his waist, "Really now Dad? I thought I remember slapping you a lot while being tickled by your beard."
"Was that a slap? It was too weak to even be considered a hit."
"Oh now it's on!"
"RAAARRR"
Doran jumped at Kuro and hugged him tightly as he tickles him with his beard. Kuro laughs loudly as he tried wacking his father's face which was pointless. Suddenly, as they were bonding, they felt a murderous aura graze by them.
They looked at the source of evil to see a Mother holding a huge metal pan. Immediately, the both of them let go of each other and kneeled down on the floor in front of her.
"Now Dear, Kuro, what did I tell you two about being noisy in the morning?" Both of them shivered while looking at her feet as she spoke with a smile, very cold and sharp words.
""S-sorry Mom/Alicia""
They spoke in true synchronization. As punishment, she hit Kuro's head with a big wooden spoon, while Doran was hit with--
*BANG*
-- The pan.
"What was that for honey?!" Doran shouted as he rubs the spot where he was hit.
Alicia pouts and looks the other way, "You haven't done that to me in a long time."
"What 'that'?"
"You never hugged me, kissed me, or even made love with me anymore ever since I gave birth to Kuro." As she said that, Doran spewed out a yelp, Kuro did the same, but he did it inside his mind.
"Honey, I was just worried that you might be burdened by giving birth to Kuro. I... I don't know how far a human can take themselves to, considering that they were pregnant before as well."
'Well, it's true that Dad didn't depend on her anymore. He even took up more than 50% of Mom's chores in the house. Can't be helped that he's worried about her being a human that just gave birth to a Dragonkin, but the thing is... It's been about more than six years since I was born here.'
Kuro wakes up from his thoughts, and sees his family already about to make love.
"AHHHH DO THAT WHEN I'M AWAY!!!" He flails his arms and runs outside as he picks up his training sword.
As he was about to head out, his shoulders were immediately grabbed and he was turned around, there, his father told him, "Be careful Champ, don't go too far from the village. The forest wolves have gotten crazy getting closer and closer here."
Kuro smiles, "Don't worry about it and just make love!"
He pushes away his father and waves one last time before leaving the village. He heard his family shout, "Where'd you--!" It was recklessly ignored.
As he reached the gate, he saw the guards that were monitoring the village's official entry and exit way, "Hey kid! You going to train again?"
"Of course Grunt, can't miss training if I'm gonna be the next head now can I?"
Laeus, the other guard laughs, "Hahaha, let's bet how long it'll take for him to reach his father."
"HAH! I bet 8 gold that this kid can beat him up 13 years from now. That man became strong at the age of 20 as well, and considering that he's the child of a Sage AND a Prodigal Chieftain, why not?"
"Oh boy, I bet all my gold this kid can't do shit."
Kuro laughs at their skit, "Well then Grunt, you better share that gold when we win the bet."
Kuro and Grunt bumps their wrists, "Well then, you better get going!"
Kuro waves at them, "Alright, see you guys later!"
"Don't go too far!" Laeus shouts.
But before Kuro could even get far from the gate, he heard children yelling at him, "Kuro!" A small female voice resounded to Kuro's ears. It was one of his childhood friends, Bea Purus, an Angel Dragonkin.
By the time she catches up to him, he asked, "So, where're the others?"
Panting, she struggles to speak straight, "You... Wake up too... Early..."
He hits her head with a chop, "Then why bother waking up for me?"
Before the fatigued Bea could answer, another child spoke, "That's because we wanna train with you." It was Gran Mercse, a Wind Dragonkin.
"Hee~... Can you even catch up to me?"
"Nga--! Of course we can!"
Kuro ignores Gran's remark and asked, "So, the others?"
"Here!"
It was the 2 remaining childhood friends, the charismatic big child, Kenny Rockbourne, an Earth Dragonkin, and the cold and serious girl, Levy Eros, a deadly sin of Lust Dragonkin.
"So, you guys wanna train with me, right?"
""""Of course!""""
Kuro smirks, "Let's get a forest wolf."

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
