“Are you trying to destroy him?" Kelthia almost exploded from anger "It was foolish of me to stay back and listen to your rubbish, stay away from, I would kill you this time if anything happens to him.

" You never learn sister, you would never learn" Kalthia suddenly unleashed her power in full force. Without warning Kelthia recoiled as if struck, a surprised growl twisting into a shriek of agony. Gleaming ice erupted outward from the guardian dragon's hide, racing to reinforce a barrier against attack. But it was too late - oily umbral tendrils entwined the defensive permafrost, wrenching it into unnatural contortions.

Kalthia's laugh rang out, rich and cruel. "Did you believe you could stop me from doing what I wanted, dear sister? I wanted to negotiate with you but you left me no choice" The umbral manifestation coiled tighter around Kelthia. She bucked and snapped but could not tear free of bonds formed of corrupted midnight stuff from the void beneath creation.

    Alex wavered, feeling strengthened umbral tendrils threading deeper through his being now that Kalthia's overpowering presence no longer suppressed their infiltration. Whispers danced at the edge of perception, hinting at the shadow arts' terrifying potential were he to fully embrace rather than resist the transformations writhing inside him.Steeling himself, Alex reached out a mental "hand" towards the notification panel. This legacy may grant the power to grow another step further in this world where power was everything. He could not afford to show weakness now. Eyes blazing violet temporarily, Alex selected [Yes] to accept all the liberties and grave accountable duties accompanying the full bloom of ancient dragon majicks.The system chimed acknowledgment. Integrations accelerated. Gritting his teeth against the rising cacophony of mental architects restructuring his thoughts and cells, Alex yielded control to whatever hybrid entity might emerge intact on the other side of this p

    Kalthia almost lost her balance from the chair she sat in.Alex had done the impossible. Merging two energies was far different from having two legacies in one body.Kalthia could clearly remember the last time a mortal weld two different legacies, he exploded from just the existence of them inside him but now she had seen another who wasn't just able to subdue the rampaging energies, he was also able to call them out in such a short time.“A real monster," Kalthia smiled. This was her goal all along.Her sister, Kelthia believed that Alex couldn't hold more than one legacy but she believed that he could do much more than that and she was correct.Alex played a little with the energy ball of ice and darkness he had created before he put it out.Alex was quite surprised that he was able to call out the energy ball in such a short time.If he looked at the timing between when he first passed his class promotion and when he received his second legacy, it was less than three days.Three

    Planet NexusDr. Vyus Research Lab.“Give me reasons why we haven't been able to break through to the other side" Vyus barked out in anger.The room filled with elite researchers was eerily quiet as they were all afraid to speak for themselves.Since the last time Vyus was able to get into Alex's system, all the systems they once used to spy on him suddenly started malfunctioning.First, the spies they planted to follow him were suddenly purged while they were still in the process of examining his system.In fact, they barely got any data before they were cut off. Due to the spies getting overloaded from a n unknown source.That was only the beginning, Dr. Gaia who was also one of the lead researchers suddenly disappeared after causing massive damage to Quell, Vyus enforcer.Not only did he damage the functionality of the enforcer, he also rendered him practically useless and currently he was deep in a slumber awaiting his repairs.Before Gaia left, he stole the majority of his resear

    Rosa shook her head. "Not exactly, Doctor. But while reviewing remote equipment telemetry to track power fluctuations, I detected familiar energy patterns from Quadrant 4 that match Dr. Gaia's last sanctioned field mission."She hesitated to observe if the manipulation hoped for was going to hit on the head. "I...I can investigate the potential lead personally, with your permission. But that region lies several days away." Rosa lifted her chin with frail stubbornness. "I would like to require that I get a guaranteed passage to visit my family upon success before undergoing further research confinement.”Vyus regarded her silently for a long minute, leaving Rosa drowning in suspense. At last he grinned without humor. "Provide confirmed coordinates for Gaia's location and I shall permit you one day's furlough with your kin." His amusement turned vicious. "Fail me however, and pray we never reacquire you once you glimpse freedom's tease."Rosa paled but nodded jerkily. "Thank you Doctor,

    The timer seemed to move slower than ever. The last time he checked it was just below 12 hours left now;7:57:157:57:147:57:138 hours left.“System Notification" a notification chimed in his head as a new screen opened automatically.“Initiating Update Second Stage”" Second Stage?” Alex was confused.Adrift in the endless void, Alex had nearly grown numb to the ceaseless influx of agonizing power and deep code overwrites. The new script seared across his vacant awareness:"Legacy Integration authenticated. Commencing download of ancestral draconic data trove..."Alex would have whimpered if he still breathed air - more unfiltered energy channeled straight into his ravaged spirit? But text elaborated further, kindling fragile curiosity through the maelstrom."You now possess the full magical genome of two ancient dragon bloodlines. Access granted to compiled repository of arcane knowledge and chronicles spanning eras before mankind's dawn."A progress bar blinked below the message:

    Alex blinked slowly as awareness gradually seeped back into his consciousness. His surroundings rematerialized in familiar detail - the cozy confines of Emma's bedroom, the soft bed sheets beneath him, the faint floral scent lingering in the air. He heaved a sigh of relief, reassured by the comforting familiarity. No matter what metaphysical odyssey he had just undertaken, at least he had returned to the physical realm he knew.As his senses reacclimated, Alex reminded himself that beneath this strange new duality of experiences, he was still fundamentally Alex Jones. The merging may have reforged the boundaries of his identity, but his core self remained anchored in this reality. He was not adrift, unmoored - he was home.Just as the tumultuous sensations began to stabilize, a crisp notification from the Nexus system materialized before his eyes:"Update Summary: Due to interference from external sources, the Nexus system was forced to upgrade to the next stage ahead of schedule.

    Alex glanced at the digital clock in Emma's room only to do a double take - had it really been 24 hours since he had blacked out during the Nexus system integration? A surge of disbelief and panic gripped him as the reality set in. He had been completely unconscious, his mind adrift for an entire day while evolving into...whatever he had become.Wasting no more time, Alex leapt off Emma's bed and rushed out of her room, the door slamming open with a bang. He needed to orient himself, assess if anything had changed in the physical world during his metaphysical odyssey.Hurrying past his own living quarters, Alex did a stunned double-take. His formerly trashed and cluttered room had been completely reset - every piece of scattered furniture neatly arranged, all damage repaired as if nothing had ever happened. But he had no recollection of fixing it himself or anyone else entering.The unsettling strangeness only compounded the growing sense of alienation he felt from his corporeal surro

    Alex felt a surge of exhilaration course through his new transcendent consciousness. The perfect opportunity to unveil his latest evolution had arrived. Focusing inward, he activated the Umbral Steps protocol instilled by the Umbra Dragon Legacy.In the span of a single breath, reality itself distorted around them. The shadows seemed to thicken and roil, bleeding outward like an ominous stain consuming the basement's contours. Emma's face creased in confusion as her senses were enveloped by the encroaching penumbra.Suddenly, the very air took on an eerie, almost tactile density that further disoriented her spatial awareness. Up became down, distances warped in the black miasma swirling through her field of perception. An oppressive vertigo gripped Emma as she fought to maintain her balance, struggling against her befuddled senses.In the midst of the shadowrealm churning dark entropy, Alex's form had become utterly untraceable. One moment he was standing across the room, the next he

    Despite the dozens of armed militants encircling him, weapons aimed squarely at his center of mass, Alex refused to be cowed. His expression hardened into a mask of determination."Enough of these games!" he shouted, voice reverberating off the warehouse's steel rafters. "I want to see the one who set me on this merry chase. The so-called 'Agent Three' who's been jerking me around from the start."His words hung heavier in the air than their seeming bravado might imply. The combat-garbed soldiers shifted uneasily, tightening their firing grips in response to his overt demand.Then, that same electronically distorted voice crackled over the PA system once more."Stand down." The words may as well have been etched in permafrost for the glacial chill of authority they carried.Instantly, the agitated perimeter detail froze, their aim wavering fractionally. Alex didn't flinch, eyes locked dead ahead as a solitary figure detached from the shad

    The next two days passed in a frenetic blur for Alex as he poured over every permutation and variable surrounding their imminent infiltration of the Crypt Keeper's inner sanctum. Scouring the sisters' reconnaissance data, he meticulously mapped out contingencies for any obstacles or hostilities they may encounter.Infiltration vectors, aerial approach trajectories, fallback rendezvous points in case they were split up - Alex left no contingency unaccounted for in his operational plan. He would allow for no untamed variables that could jeopardize their chances of success and survival.Only once he was satisfied with the tactical framework did he finally turn his focus to the long game - the delicate situation involving their other...competitors angling for possession of the mythical Crown of Asteria.Leaning back in his chair with a weary sigh, Alex picked up the phone which Agent Three had initially given him and dialed the only number on it. It took a few

    Kalthia's bold declaration rang with an edge of thinly veiled menace that sent a subtle thrill down Alex's spine. He couldn't help but allow a confident smile to spread across his features. With these two ancient draconic powerhouses united alongside him, mustering the unstoppable force necessary to overcome any obstacles suddenly seemed well within their grasp. All the pieces were falling into place."Good, I'm counting on that." Alex glanced between the sisters meaningfully. "Because after reviewing these reconnaissance reports, I'll need to implement the next phase of my stratagem sooner than expected."Extending his senses inward, he focused on a data connection he had carefully constructed to code manipulated data concerning a certain interested party. A few complex subroutine commands later, and an encrypted packet of randomized reports and map imagery began generating.With this, the data for the Seekers operatives was prepared and with this they would think they were getting a

    Alex looked between Kalthia and Kelthia, seeing their attentions fully locked on him now in anticipation of his plan to infiltrate the Crypt Keeper's Mountain Temple and steal the legendary Healing Crown of Asteria.He took a deep breath before laying out the initial stages. "First thing's first - I need for us to do is pinpoint the exact location of this temple for me. Provide any details you can about its defenses, the terrain around it, everything."The sisters exchanged a look. Kelthia gave a slight nod. "That much I can readily supply. The Crypt Keeper's domain is a treacherous region, wreathed in obscuring mistrals and guarded by wards most foul.""But for dragons such as ourselves, piercing its veil of secrecy is well within our abilities," Kalthia added, a note of confidence edging her tone.Alex nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Once I have that locational data and mapping, I can start planning out the safest route for approach and infiltration."He fixed them both with a resolu

    Kalthia seemed to seethe silently at Alex's boldness in the face of the dragonslayer threat. He seemed to undermine the abilities. The dark shadows writhed more intensely around her human form."You dismiss their danger far too lightly, boy," she said in a low, dangerous tone. "These are not mere obstacles to overcome, but an extinction-level peril to everything we are. Don't you understand that?"Alex held her smoldering gaze, undeterred. "Then we'd better be prepared to face them when the time comes. Because they won't be the ones to stop us from our quest - and I repeat, not if I have any say about it."An icy pause lingered in the grand hall after Alex's defiant declaration. Kalthia stared at him like she was looking at a totally deaf fool seemingly dumbstruck that he would still push forward with their plans after learning about the dragonslayers and the other dangers it posses to them."You cannot be serious," the Umbra Dragon said at last,

    “Now that we have taken care of the in-house fighting, there are some things we need to get done.”Alex looked the sisters deep in the eye. He needed to know if they were ready for what he was going to say next.“I would need you both to help me out with something and once this is done, we would start our journey, it's going to be a very long road but I have this hope we would get there" Alex couldn't just tell them that he had almost all the information from millions of dragons who had lived and died. He was like a walking data bank for dragons and the system made it far easier for him to process things.“Leave?" Kalthia asked, “We just can't do that," she said with a dull expression.Alex was surprised, “We just agreed that we were going to go on a journey that would change our lives and you say you can't leave this area? Then why bother agreeing in the first place?"" Don't get agitated” Kelthia stepped in "I would explain in a rather

    "It's about your longevity," Alex began. "I realize even as powerful dragons, you can only live so long naturally."This piqued Kalthia's interest as well. She leaned forward slightly in her shadowy chair. "Are you implying you know of a way for us to extend our lifespans beyond what is possible?"Kelthia's expression was more guarded, but she gave a slight nod. "The strongest of dragonkind may only endure ten to fifteen thousand years before our essence fades. Kalthia and I have already experienced over six millennia.""Which leaves perhaps two or three thousand more years, if we're fortunate enough to live in peace," Kalthia added, somewhat wistfully.Alex nodded seriously. "I understand. But what if I told you there's a way to naturally and safely prolong your life spans much further - without any detrimental backlash?"The two sisters exchanged a startled look. Even for beings as ancient as them, the prospect of cheating their impending demise piqued their curiosity intensely.“No

    “Can't you just go see her alone? Whatever you both discuss you can let me know about it later" Kalthia came up with an excuse.Alex paused and looked at her with a side eye. “If I remember clearly, you proudly said there was nothing impossible for you to do, so why are you scared of meeting up with your sister? Moreover, you promised that there was no request you would not answer to and here you are already trying to jump bail over my first request. Tell me how I can trust a word you say in the future?"The words Alex spoke hit Kalthia's pride so hard that her pale skin showed signs of redness in response to his provocation.“You think I'm scared of that Icy lump? If it comes to a fight, I would pin her down over and over again" Kelthia expressed her anger, “In fact, let's get going, even if she has grudges higher than the universe itself, there is no need to be afraid of her”.“Perfect, then I would open up a portal right now" Alex smiled.Seeing Kalthia's reluctance to involve her

    Kalthia's booming voice washed over Alex, but he paid it little mind. His eyes were wide, hands patting over his body in disbelief. The dragon's remarks about being flesh and blood barely registered."Legs? Check. Arms? Check. Head? Still attached," Alex muttered under his breath, wiggling his fingers and toes. A broad grin spread across his face as the tingling warmth of draconic essence flowed through him. He could feel every muscle, every hair on his skin. He was here - truly present in this fantastical world in a corporeal form."I...I made it. My actual self is in Elysium!" he exclaimed, clenching his fists in excitement. Kalthia watched him bemusedly as Alex stretched and bent, testing his physical mobility and sensations. Her prodigy seemed utterly absorbed in marveling at his own tangible existence here."This is amazing! If I can travel between realms like this..." Alex's voice trailed off as the implications dawned on him. He looked up at the dragon determinedly."I just n
