{Two weeks later.}
"You have indeed improved a lot compared to the first time. Now you try to dodge or defend, your body also started to move subconsciously."I'm again lying on the ground breathing hard. Two weeks have passed, form when I began my training under Tiamat.She is a brutal teacher, nothing like my gentle grandma. She has beaten me to death every day in these two weeks. I too didn't just take all the beatings for nothing. My fighting style has improved a lot. Now I can last a lot longer and even see her movements. My stats have all gone up as well, especially my endurance and speed, coupled with my thought acceleration.Thought acceleration is now level-4, while my speed is 420 and endurance is 450. As my vitality is interconnected with endurance it has also gone up reaching 840, because of this now I can tank more attacks without losing. My strength has not gone up by much as fighting Tiamat has nothing to do with raw power, she is mostly training me on how to better use my other aspects rather than brute strength still it has gone up as I kept on eating the pills given by the system. Now my strength is 380. I have levelled up by 4 levels as well.Now my level is 15 but my stats are way high than my level. When I asked the system, why it is like that? It explained...[Master, stats and levels are totally different. Your stats are the numerical display of the said aspect, such as your speed is now similar to 420 units in mathematical numbers.However, your level exhibits your experience. It is similar to how the older you get the better you get at walking. Like that, the more experience you gain in fighting and other things the more your level will improve.]"Huff.. thanks, grandma. Although you are too cruel, I learned how to try not to die. Hehe.."I spoke with a chuckle. To which she glared at me, and snorted."Humph! Do you think I was fighting you seriously? Haha..your enemies will not hesitate to use any kind of tricks to kill you. If I wanted to kill you, you would have died countless times."I didn't reply, what is said is indeed true. If she was my enemy, I'd perhaps be on my to the third reincarnation."Now go back."With those words, she teleported me to my room.***********"Welcome back master."Coming back to my room, I heard Alizée's voice. She is standing near my bed in a blue and white maid outfit. "It's good to see you Alizée, so how was your day?"I asked her back. She always waits for me like this every around this time. Her head now has a pair of white deer-like horns on her head, proving her origin as an oriental dragon. She too has been training her new magic under a duke at the Apep's kingdom, who is also a lightning dragon. She didn't have problems with the wind elements as her affinity before awakening was the wind."It was a good master one. I improved a lot at my control over lighting. Still, I'm unable to combine my wind and lightning."She spoke with some dejection. She is still not able to truly control the storm element, well lighting itself is a very berserk element so combining it with wind is not easy."Don't worry, it will take more time but I am confident you can do it."I tried to cheer her up. And it worked as a bright smile covered her pink lips."Thank you, master, I will work hard to not disappoint you."She assured me with a determined face, to which I gave her a nod of appreciation."Okay master the food is ready. I'll bring it for you."Saying that she left to bring my dinner. If you are wondering, why I'm not feeling uncomfortable when she calls me master? Fortunately, my sin of pride makes it feel natural for others to call me lord, king or master."Here's your dinner, master."See, I don't even flinch and if I feel something that would to horny, Alizée is very sweet and cute even though she looks mature and ripe. Just the thought of corrupting her sweet and innocent mind with dirty and perverted thoughts makes my body burn with passion. Still, I'll wait till I'm an adult before making any movers. Even I have my morals to keep."Thank you Alizée, wow! The dishes look tasty!"I praised knowing it was she who made the dinner.[+120 AP]'Right..right.. give me more AP, I need them now more than ever..'I prayed in my mind."Hehehe, I hope you like it, master. I made your dinner personally."She spoke with some anticipation.I didn't have any more time and took a bite. The taste was truly good."Wow! They are certainly tasty. I knew my Alizée is a great cook."After the compliment, I resumed my eating.[+500 AP]"M-m-masters Alizée? W-what d-do y- you mean?"'As I thought..she took the beit~'"What do you mean, you are mine right? Aren't you my maid?"She asked me while stuttering.I side with a frown like I didn't like her hesitation."O-of cause, I-I am master's maid."She replied in a low voice."See, you said it yourself. You are mine for now and will always be mine. I won't let you go."I spoke in an authoritative tone. And all she could do was nod her head meekly.'Hehe... I'll have my fun training you to perfectly fit my taste~'I laughed wickedly in my mind, watching her behave with such obedience."Lay down master I'll massage your body, so you can fall asleep quickly."After regaining her composure Alizée offered me. I just nodded with my eyes closed. Sitting at the side of the bed she began to massage my body, fleeing relaxed I quickly fall asleep.**********[One year later]{1st POV, Ethan}Slash! Slash! Slash!'Whol..! Whol..! Whol..![Killed 3x adapt wolves,15000 KP, 10000XP]"Hahahaha! No matter how many times I use this move, I couldn't get enough!"Currently, I'm fighting or more precisely cutting a pack of wind wolves inside a forest. This forest is located in one of the mountain ranges of Tiamat's Island. The wind wolves have grey fur covering their body, green eyes. They are about three meters in size. They can use wind blades, they are also very agile become of wind magic. They are primarily D-rank but can achieve C-rankA whole year has gone by, I'm a lot more powerful than I was last year. The speed at which I levelled up was like a rocket. Not only my level but also my combat experience, magic and passive skills improved a lot. I'm like an entirely different person from back then.My status is...[Status-Name: EthanAge: Eight yearsLevel:
{Flash back, Start}"Hahahahah!!!"Today, I am very happy as I managed to hit Tiamat on her right shoulder in a fight. Even if I didn't manage to deal any damage, I am still satisfied. She has been beating the shit out of me for more than eight months. So, hitting her even once pleased my ego."Hahaha, you are not as fast as you were before~"I said in a haughty tone, I was excessively happy to the point to think about minor details such as her major sin is pride too. And looking down on her is akin to seeking death..."Ohh~ you think I am too slow?"She asked while displaying a vicious smile. My expression froze sensing the gloomy vibe oozing out her."Than, why don't you try invading now~"She vanished from my sight after leaving those words. The next thing that happened to me would be embedded deep in my mind for years to come...She just punches me on the belly. One hit! my insides churned then crumbled to pieces. Forget about dodging
{1st POV, Ethan} "So why do you seek power? If you don't want to take any responsibility, why try so hard to become strong? I don't see the reason." The first answer that came to my mind was because I'm supposed to?..because I have the system? I have a mission to accomplish? No..! These are all the events someone else decided for me. Then why do I want strength..? "I..don't..know...?" I truly don't know. I've just been going with the flow ever since I've been reborn. I was pretty average in my past life, had no parents, just living for the sake of it. However, things changed following my rebirth, born as the only grandson of the mightiest dragon queen, bestowed with a system and incredible skills I have it all. A loving family who cherish me to the extreme, overwhelming talent, there is nothing more for me to ask. So, I never thought too deeply and went on at doing what I have been told to do, as this new life has been very satisfying. H
A heroic and stupid story at the same time. Yes, stupid! what they did I call it stupidity! There is always a better solution as long as you don't give up on searching. Yet, they choose to sacrifice their lives for the greater good. Utterly ridiculous, it all ends when you die. The moment you stop breathing its game over for you. There might be some population who might regard them as heroes, but that's only because they get to live to tell the tales while you are 6 feet under.Well, whatever it's their choice, not mine. So about the purpose she was talking about it is indeed dangerous enough for her to worry. She wanted me to kill Ardat Lili when she breaks out from the seal.Yes, Tiamat believes Ardat Lili can break the seal. No matter, how powerful Vritra and Eleanor were they are still monarch's in the end and the difference between a monarch and demigod is even greater than all the other five stages put together. So, the imprisonment can't hold her for eternity.
{1st POV, Ethan}[The next day]“So, are you gonna start attacking me or what? He-heh ...”Tiamat asked me while snickering mockingly.Right now, I'm lying face-first on the ground. Forget about fighting I can't even stand up. One day has gone by after the agreement between us. I just came to start our daily training.Right after I arrived here, I dropped over my face because of the sudden increase in gravity. Yes, Tiamat is releasing her magical powers and reinforcing the gravitational pull, making the pressure of the place increase by five times compared to regular gravity.The result? I can neither move nor stand on my feet; laying on the floor like a corpse.“Right, done playing, or is this all we are doing for today?”I asked her in a neutral tone, I was on the brink of going berserk a few times already.“Alright, alright..!!”Saying that she decreased the pressure to a relatively tolera
I'm familiar with the concept of aura; it's primarily used by human knights to combat wizards. The vast majority of mankind has relatively little mana; only one in every hundred individuals has enough mana to cast spells or learn magic. Others employ aura to enhance their overall attacks and defense. To awaken aura, each practitioner has to engage in a great deal of combat and tap into their physical body's full potential.“So, that's what aura is all about! I sense a unique energy permeating my body, as if it were a suit of armor.”My physique has indeed toughened up, and all of my physical attributes have drastically improved.“Now, what?”I asked her as she certainly has a plan, yet, she won't tell me what exactly it is.“During this period, you will understand how to improve your aura and effectively manipulate it, and your tail should materialize shortly now that your physique is approaching full maturity.Thereafter,
{1st POV, Ethan}“Grandma! … I want to go into the thousand monster island.”I pleaded with her, only to be met with a terrifying stare. Now, time for the mission impossible!The island of thousand monsters. This massive island, also known as the Monster Paradise, is located at the very end of the west sea. The island is riddled with monsters, and it is said that it dates back to the ancient era. The cause for the monsters' presence in the region is very unique. According to legend, the island is the remnant of a vast patch of land. The ancient war annihilated the rest of the island, leaving only this massive island.It's also intriguing to learn why only monsters reside here. Deep within the island exists a resentful core. According to legend, this is because too many ancient powerhouses perished in the primal war, leaving behind a legacy of regret and resentment. Which manifested into this one-of-a-kind existence; the resentful core.
“Can I, go with you? Master.”In hushed tones, she inquired. Her objectives switched from preventing me to tagging along.“No! I understand you don't like fighting. Moreover, there will be dangers I might not be able to cope with while protecting both of us.”I immediately turned her down. It may come across as harsh, but she will be a true burden. I have another purpose for visiting that particular island. Tiamat is prevented from observing anything by the so-called resentful core. She can still detect where I am and teleport if she so desires. However, because her vision is impeded, I am able to apply all of my techniques without her noticing. She'll only be able to tell what kind of magic I'm employing, but she won't be able to see my movements.The other reason is that Alizée isn't a particularly skilled fighter. She is undeniably powerful as a true dragon and storm mage. She isn't used to fighting, though. If we ever fi
