《How Does One Become Strong?》Chapter 1- A New World
Advertisement
I woke up to complete darkness, 'am I blind?' I thought. "Well, no use fussing about what we don't know". Since I couldn't use my eyes I decided to use my ears, discovering that I had AMAZING hearing. I could hear bugs crawling around, I could hear a small stream of water and... a Ding?

JACK:
"Well that's convenient, all my information laid outside in front of me. Well, I'll look into this further later. For now, I have to figure out where I am and what my next steps will be. Well, seeing as I saw that blue screen, it must mean that I'm not blind". I continued to look around trying to see anything at all, then I heard that familiar ding. *You have gained the skill Night Vision* As the message went away I found out that I could see everything perfectly.
I got up out of my black egg shell stretching my new body. I once again heard the stream of water behind me."Whoops, I almost forgot about my needs as a human, well, not exactly human anymore". I say, chuckling to myself sadly. I continue walking over to the stream while looking around at my surroundings. Apparently I'm in some sort of system of caves all connected to each other."I'm going to have to check that out". I say looking at the tunnel leading out of the cave I'm in.

After getting a drink of water I take a look at myself in the reflection. I stand around 4 feet tall with dark red skin that has purple engravings which look like tattoos running down both of my arms. I have purple wavy hair that reaches my shoulders and eyes with purple pupils slit like a cats. My feet and hands have sharp claws that look like they could cut through steel. In my mouth I have sharp serrated teeth that point to me being a carnivore. My pointed ears can hear far better than humans can too. This all adds up to quite the intimidating image.
As, I turn around something catches my eye at the corner of the cave. "What is that"?, I walked over to where I saw something and see a black, scale covered tail, I just realized that I'm really hungry and that tail looks really, REALLY appetizing. I suddenly blank out waking up to being full and there being no tail of any sort. I think I see what happened. Ding! *You have eaten part of the body of a true dragon unlocking a new path of evolution for you.* *You have gained 10 levels, would you like to evolve?* "...huh"?
*As you have reached the required level you may now choose one of the following to evolve into*
[Fire Imp, evolving into the fire imp gives fiery red skin, a hot temper and a breath of fire. The fire imp also relies more on strength than speed]
[Water Imp, evolving into the water imp gives calm blue skin, a calmer temper and the ability to control water. This imp relies more on it's magical abilities rather than it's own strength]
[Shade, the Shade is a different path of evolution all together. The Shade relies on the shadows and it's own speed to strike the target from behind. The shades whole body is completely black and sometimes seems to flicker out of existence.]

[Scaled Imp, this Imp is unique, it has thickened bones and muscle with Scales covering the majority of its back in the shape of wings. This imp has high potential for future evolutions. This Imp relies on speed, strength and it's strong magical prowess.]*This evolution was unlocked by gaining a miniscule amount of a dragons blood flowing through your veins(Gaining stronger bloodlines in the future will allow you to gain stronger evolutions)*
"Hmmm, while the fire imp certainly looks good the temper thing would be a problem to me as I'd say one of my best traits is my calm under pressure. The water imp would certainly be good as it is known to remain calm but it just lacks the fire power. These last two are the interesting ones. The Shade has many uses for me with blending in with the darkness and relying on speed which is my specialty, but I think attacking from behind just seems cowardly. So my choice will have to be the Scaled imp."
Ding! 'There's that sound again' I thought as I started to feel sleepy.
[You have chosen Scaled Imp as your next evolution! You will evolve while you sleep.]
Once I read that, I fell to the ground asleep. I wake up feeling myself to have become more powerful. I once again go to the stream to look at my reflection. Right now I stand around 5 feet tall, my skin is still the same dark red color except now it feels thicker, the engravings on my arms stayed the same except now they're not just engravings but are instead made up of dark purple scales. My eyes stayed the same except the cat like pupils are now more reptile-like. My wavy purple hair now grew down to my waist. There are scales on my back shaped like a tattoo of large wings. On my legs my shins are covered in scales while all of my claws have grown longer and stronger. I also noticed that my body is a lot more toned now. I can feel the power flowing through me.
Ding!
[You have gained the racial skill Hard Skin]
[You have gained the skill Fire Magic]
[You have gained the skill SUPER Hearing]
[You have gained the skill Afterimage]
[You have gained the skill Dragon Eyes]
[YOU HAVE RECIEVED +15 IN ALL STATS AS A RESULT OF RANKING UP]
"Wow, that's a lot of information to take in" I said sorting through the abilities in my head. As I tested my abilities, I figured out what they all did. The first one was Hard Skin this is a passive ability that makes my skin as tough as some light leather armor. After that is Fire Magic this basically let's me control fire more easily, I would still have to know a spell before being able to use it though. Then we have SUPER Hearing which is a passive skill and is basically exactly what it sounds like, just to give you an example though, something that was 100 feet away would sound like it was right next to me. Afterimage makes me basically teleport somewhere within 6 feet of me so fast that it leaves behind an afterimage, this is VERY draining though. Dragon Eyes is basically an intimidation technique that gives the impression that a real dragon is there.
