Riding on a bike was a thin frail guy who seemed to be in his early twenties, clad in a pizza delivery uniform spotting a bald head.
Theo whistled as he rode the bike. Today, he just received a medic report from his doctor.
His ten years 'cancer' strangely vanished into thin smoke.
He felt so excited. He couldn't wait to relay this happy news to Annie his girlfriend.
As for his parents, they died four years ago.
He couldn't help but remember the talisman they left behind few days before their deaths. According to them, it was a lucky charm family heirloom.
Theo brought out the talisman from his pocket and stared at it. Up till now, he couldn't figure out what was so special about this talisman.
It wasn't made of gold but a type of crude metal. Selling it wouldn't even amount to a sizeable number of bucks.
While Theo was inspecting the talisman, he neglected the fact that he was currently on the road.
At that moment, a huge truck rammed against his bike.
Theo got flung out, crashing roughly on the smooth asphalt. His left leg was ripped out and his whole body bloodied.
His vision was starting to blur, but he could see the truck that rammed into him fleeing away.
He cursed inwardly. Heh. What sort of misfortune was this?
As he struggled to breathe his last, he released the talisman clenched in his left fist. His blood continously dripping onto the talisman.
Then a shocking sight occured. Twelve dragons of different colors shot out of the talisman. They wrapped and began to revolve around Theo.
"Whoa! mummy look!"
"Am i dreaming?"
"Are those dragons?"
Crowd began to gather in full stream, gasping in awe at the extraordinary scene.
Suddenly, the twelve dragons vanished. So did the talisman and Theo.
* * *
"Argh! where am i?" Theo's eyes sprang open as he stared around.
He was in a huge hall. It's walls and floors were embedded with expensive looking glittering precious stones, gems and diamonds.
Was this heaven?
"THEO!!" a powerful voice boomed, snapping him out of his daze.
He looked over and saw a gignatic throne. On the throne was a multicolored mighty dragon.
It resembled an eastern dragon but was much bigger, with huge mighty wings and two huge horns. It's eyes had a sense of nobility in them.
Staring at this mighty dragon, Theo almost had the urge to prostrate. But a gut feeling prevented him from doing so. Instead, he felt that the mighty dragon should be the one prostrating.
"You are not a weakling like i thought" the mighty dragon snorted.
"Who are you?" Theo asked.
"My name is Izreel. I am but one of your twelve primal chaos dragon bloodline. You are too weak to stand in the presence of the other eleven" Izreel cocked it's head arrogantly.
"Bloodline? what is that? aren't dragons myths?" Theo found the matter surreal.
"Heh" Izreel laughed, pointing it's left claw at Aiden.
"There are endless possibilities"
A bright orb materialized, hurling itself towards Theo.
It began to expand, blocking out the view of the hall. It was as if only the enlarged hall existed in the whole world.
Out of instincts, Theo shielded his face with his arms. When he opened his eyes, the first thing that came into his vision was the tall trees and the salivating face of a wild hound.
Fuck!
Theo jumped to his feets, diving away. The hound growled displeased that it's prey ran away and gave chase.
Theo ran with all the speed he could muster, dodging past trees. Behind him was the wild hound, prancing forward.
"Curse you! curse you Dragon!" Theo silently cursed.
Suddenly, his feets hit a rock, causing him to trip and fall. Before he could stand up, the wild hound pounced on him, pinning him underneath it's paws.
Fuck! was this how he was going to die.
Just then, he saw a lump of rock an arm breadth away from him. He grabbed it, smashing against the wild hound's head.
The wild hound whimpered, staggering back a bit.
Theo kicked it's snout and resumed running.
After making sure that the hound wasn't coming after him from behind, he stopped underneath the shade of a tree leaning against it's bark as he panted heavily.
Just then, he heard a strange sound in his head.
[DING!]
He swiftly cocked his head, looking for the origin of the sound but he found nothing.
[Congratulations! Host has successfully cleared Hidden Quest; Escape from Wild hound]
[Host has received +10 exp]
[Host has received +2 speed stat]
[Host has unlocked Starter pack!]
A row of words began to dance around in his head. The feeling was strange, causing Theo's body to waver a bit.
What is this?! words appearing in mid air? was he going mad already?
Wait! words appearing in head! that's it!
He couldn't help but recall the cliche scene in those web novels. Weren't the MCs like him.
Although he was an adult, he wasted most of his teenage years being a fanatical web novel addict.
Starting from his death, his encounter with that dragon and now this. He would be a dumb idiot if he didn't know what was going on.
He just got transmigrated!

In the magic society, mages were the true rulers while mortals were their subordinates.
Various organizations existed, both powerful and weak. But what these organizations had in common was that they had powerful mages helming them.
Cloud Peach school was one of such organizations. It was a second rate organization in a second rate city called Bullsin city. It's power wasn't to be slighted.
Currently at the enterance gate, a girl clad in Cloud Peach school grade two students uniform kept prancing around with clenched fist.
"Sister, why are you worrying yourself over that cripple's son huh?" Berty heard a voice say from behind her.
Twirling around, she saw a boy around her age wearing the same uniform as her making his way over.
An arrogant smirk on his lips.
"Ted, how can you be so heartless huh? your cousin is in potential danger in the Zeltic forest and you are unbothered?" Berty frowned in anger.
"Cousin? aren't you ashamed to call that fool and disgrace your cousin? if you are not then i am!"
"He's been a quasi grade one student for five years. Yet he hasn't made any progress. Tell me, isn't he a disgrace?"
"Let me tell you a secret, Senior Howings even crippled his little bit of cultivation last week"
"Whaat?!" Berty's face turned ashen as she grabbed Ted by the collar.
"Don't you dare lie to me!"
"Why would i? Theo's my cousin afterall. Tsk tsk" Ted gave a sarcastic remark.
"You've got a serious explaining to do!" Berty dragged Ted after her as she made her way back to the school.
Cloud Peach school was a private boarding school, with each student allocated their own hostels.
As Berty dragged Ted towards the Ladies block, passer bys couldn't help but stare gobsmacked.
As for Ted, he felt extremely embarrassed.
Although he felt unwilling, he knew resisting was futile. Berty's cultivation was higher than his own.
Berty finally arrived at her hostel. To Ted's relief, it was empty.
Like throwing a piece of garbage, Berty threw him to the ground, crossing her arm on her chest.
"Alright. Start explaining!"
"Is this how you treat your cousin? why is Theo's treatment different?" Ted faked a wince of pain.
"Don't joke with me. Start talking now!" Berty yelled.

"Looks like that dragon was right. To think my bloodline is this strong" Aiden chuckled.
In this world, he was going to train like his life depended on it. Too weak to see his own bloodline?
Hmph. Let's see about that!

At the enterance gate, stood an old man wearing worn out clothing, sipping beer from a can.
Just then, Berty arrived before him.
"It's you lass?" the old gate keeper looked up and laughed, exposing his yellow coloured teeth.
"I want to go out to train at the Zeltic forest" Berty lied.
"Oh? now that i think of it, reports have been coming that there have been sightings of mid rank magic beasts. I can't let you endanger yourself" the old gate keeper drank a mouthful, staining his shirt.
Berty clenched her fist. What's wrong with that idiot? how could he endanger himself like that?
"Old sir, the sun is hot and you have been sitting under it for hours. Your throat must be dry. Take this as a sign of appreciation" Berty said, tapping the watch on her wrist.
Two cans of beers shot out, landing on the old man's lap.
"Hehe. What a thoughtful lass. Alright you can go. But be careful" the old gate keeper laughed accepting the 'bribe'
Berty nodded like a hen pecking rice as she left through the gate which automatically parted open.
As she ran towards the path leading to the Zeltic forest, she couldn't help but grow worried.
According to Ted's explanation, Theo liked a girl named Anne, although it was a one sided love. Tired of his endless pestering, Anne reported him to one of her secret admirers; Howings.
Howings was a grade two student just like her, but infact he was stronger than her. Howings beat Theo up so badly that he even crippled his cultivation by mistake.
Feeling hopeless, Theo left for Zeltic forest early in the morning. He wanted to commit suicide.
He didn't have to stab himself to death or hang himself with a rope. The many magic beast in Zeltic forest would be more than happy to gobble him up in their stomach.
Theo travelled through the forest by jumping through trees. With his increased stats, he could jump over ten metres.Suddenly, he sighted two hyena type magic beasts, the size of a grown man fighting against each other.On the ground was a dead phyton carcass. From the ripples of their fight, Theo deduced they were merely at the novice rank, just like him.He quietly jumped down the tree and made his way towards the Hyena on the left who was riddled with injuries, seemingly on it's last breath.He sent a powerful kick at it's head, sending the hyena smashing against the bark of a tree.The other Hyena growled upon seeing Theo and fled."Even as magic beasts, hyenas are still cowards" Theo laughed as he walked towards the hyena he kicked."I hope this works" he pursed his lips, sending a fist towards the half dead hyena's head.C R A A C K!The skull broke, causing the hyena to breathe it's last. At that moment, a series of notifications rang in his head.-[You killed a novice rank Yis
"Senior Chyx!" the grade three student shrieked, a cold chill running down his back.Chyx seemed to be seventeen years old sporting a suave hairstyle and the official grade three students uniform."You have guts huh? refusing entry for one of my underlings" Chyx smiled warmly.But to the grade three student, it was worst than the devil grinning. He began to regret his actions that instant."Scram" a slap from Chyx sent the grade three student flying ten metres away and crashing roughly on the ground.The Gold quarters was different than the other quarters in the sense that each student had their own apartment, thus giving them their own privacy.Chyx's apartment was a bungalow and the interior boasted of expensive decors.When the duo arrived, Chyx slumped on a sofa, glancing at the hoodied figure with a nonchalant gaze."Out with your mask" Chyx snorted.The hoodied figure did as he was told, revealing a masculine face filled with ugly pockmarks."I did as you told me Senior. I cripp
ROOAR! The leopard dire beast swung it's paws at Theo, with the intent to smash him into meatpaste. "Hmph!" Theo snorted, sending his punch towards the incoming paw.BOOM! The leopard dire beast flew smashing into a tree, it's paw already smashed into bloody paste. Aiden dashed towards the half dead beast, smashing open it's skull with a single punch.-[You have leveled up!]-[You have recieved +5 stat points] Theo punched a fist through the chest of the dire beast, bringing out the shiny power core. He swiftly absorbed it.-[You have recieved +40 stat points] Theo moaned in ectasy as he enjoyed the feeling of refreshment his increase in strength brought. After killing five dire beasts, he finally leveled up! Although they were just mere level one dire beasts, the benefits they brought weren't small in any way! Theo excitedly checked his progress.-[HOST ATTRIBUTES]»Name: Theo Dragonslav»Title: None»Class: Warrior»Race: Dragon Mage»Level: Level 2 novice rank»Energy: 70»
Theo sucked in air as he stared at the pile of ashes on the ground. He managed to absorb all the level one novice rank power cores as well as some level two ones. Unfortunately, he recieved a notification from the system that he has reached a bottleneck and can no longer absorb power cores unless he levels up. Not willing to give up this big fish, he stowed away the remaining power cores into his stolen Storage watch. Not that Cosmo had a problem with it. He opened his user interface.-[HOST ATTRIBUTES]»Name: Theo Dragonslav»Title: None»Class: Warrior»Race: Dragon Warrior»Level: Level 2 novice rank»Energy: 70»Mana: 70»HP: 100»Strength: 375»Physique: 415»Speed: 167»Agility: 168»Intelligence: 175»Mental Fortitude: 40»Charm: 10»PHYSICAL DMG: 1,125 Theo grinned.

Two months later.. Cloudy Peach Academy was bustling today. It was their much anticipated grade one students admission examination. In the whole of Bullsin city, Cloudy Peach academy shared the same status as the City mansion seat. Infact, many top political leaders and warriors were once students of Cloudy Peach academy. The current City Lord wasn't an exception. Although it was regarded as a second rate power, no other second rate power dared to slight Cloudy Peach Academy. Currently in a huge field, the size of a stadium, many seats hovered above the air. Atop these floating seats were the hyped up spectators. Gathered around the huge field was a dense amount of quasi grade one students. Currently, their eyes shone with a certain glint of eagerness. At that that moment, a short chubby looking man descended from the sky, wind attribute energy swirling around his body. "It's the vice principal. Vic principal Bekor!" "Whoa! are all wind mages so amazing? they can fly!""Idiot.
At the large stadium, the group of audience watched with fervor as the candidates battled against various dire beasts. Thanks to the huge floating screen, they could all see what the candidates were experiencing. "Look! that Nick has killed his twenty third dire beast!" a man among the audiences cried out. Instantly, everyone's attention fell on a particular section of the huge screen portraying a burly teen as he bashed his meaty palms on a panther dire beast. This young man was Nick and was extremely popular in this examination segment. He wore barbaric fur clothes and was stocky. He was part of those who had brilliant performances. Killing more than twenty dire beasts under one hour. He was a genius alright. "That's nothing. I still strongly believe that the kid named Theo would take the winner spot" another man among the audiences wearing a bamboo hat, laughed merrily. "That is a given alright. But the first runner up isn't quite clear" his companion stroked his beard while
Under the constant bombardment of the participants, the huge boulder at the mouth of the cave couldn't take it any longer.Boom! It exploded into bits, causing dust to fly about. When the dust cleared, a glowing vortex could be seen swirling at the mouth of the cave, occupying the whole space. It was like as if the mouth of the cave was the spinning vortex. "A portal" many participants who recongnized what the vortex was, couldn't help but gasp. "It's an inheritance cave alright" smacking his lips, Nick's eyes shone brilliantly. "Everyone. The barrier has been broken. What lies ahed of us are a vast amount of fortunes. From here on out every man should depend on their self" after adressing the crowd, Nick directly leaped towards the portal. Like a drop of water in an ocean, he sank into it, disappearing from sight. Nethercold snorted coldly and followed suite. With the two top dogs gone, the crowd was thrown into a frenzy."Quick! Enter the cave!" "Damnit! Stop blocking me!" "
Theo dived to the left, missing an axe that a stone warrior swung at his direction. "Dragon. Can't you do something? I'm about to get beaten to death!" Theo cried. That prideful dragon always boasted of his strength right? Well now's the time for him to be useful. However he was met with disappointment because his words struck empty air. Izreel outright ignored him.BAAM! One of the stone warriors arrived before Theo before he could react, sending him crashing against the wall with a kick.-[-25 HP] 'Shit! so powerful?!" Theo hurriedly popped an health replenishing pill into his mouth. Luckily he was stingy with Cosmos power cores and sold some portion. Using the money, he bought health and mana replinishing pills incase of emergencies like this. "Judging from their attacks, they must be level one primary rank" Theo calmed down and began reasoning straight. His current raw damage output far outstripped a level nine primary rank.Infact he was only a tad bit weaker than someone
