《How Does One Become Strong?》Chapter 3- The Real World
Advertisement
Jack:I look up at the new world I'm in. As soon as I step out of the cave I feel cold blast of air and the view from the top of of a mountain. "This is going to be troublesome"(Jack) 'Yes, I agree. All this time I had no idea I was on the top of a mountain'(Streak). Thinking to take advantage of the situation I look around for some sort of settlement. Off in the distance I spot a large castle with a town surrounding it. I decide to first travel to that city once I get down from the mountain. Finally having a goal in mind I start my descent.
After a while of climbing down the mountain I had 3 quarters left to go so I decide to take a lunch break. Taking out the corpse of the wyvern I decide to eat it raw as there is no way I could start a fire up here and somehow it just feels right. Taking a bite of the raw corpse and feeling the blood trickle down my throat gives me a feeling of power but it quickly fades away, Ding! [You have increased your dragon bloodline by a miniscule amount by eating the raw meat of a lesser wyvern] *You have gained one level* Amazed by this notification I try eating more of the wyvern to no avail. Eventually, someone up above got tired of me doing this and Ding! [You can only increase your bloodline with a specific species once] Seeing as I wouldn't gain anymore benefits I decided to try it on Streak. Ding! [Your familiar Streak already has one of the 5 great bloodlines in his body rendering him unable to receive another]
"Oh? Why didn't you tell me about this, Streak."(Jack) I say looking over at him only to see him just as confused as me. 'Ah well, guess it doesn't matter' I guess it's just good to know that Streak'll be able to take care of himself in the future. Done with lunch I start to pack up only to sense a feeling of great danger. Reacting immediately I use Afterimage and teleport 6 feet up into the air I watch in terror as mere milliseconds after I teleported a winged creature that looked like a pterodactyl slashed right through where my body used to be then flying back up to where I assume it's nest is.
Any sense of closure I once had about being safe on this mountain immediately disappeared. The only things that had saved my life were my bestial instincts that activated at the last moment. I went into full alert mode as I continue packing up my stuff. 'Are you okay Master?'(Streak)
"Yes I'm fine, in fact I think that this is a good thing. Any naivety I once had and my false sense of security are now gone"(Jack)

No matter what though I still had to get down the mountain. I carefully made my way down the mountain hiding every time I hear that terrifying screech.
'Master, why don't you just defeat that thing and get over it?'(Streak)
"Streak, when I felt that thing coming towards me all of my senses were heightened to their limits, I could feel how fast, strong and deadly that thing was. Just one slash and I would be dead. Even the speed that I pride myself in is nothing compared to it"(Jack)
'Okay, Master.'
Carefully trekking down the mountain making sure to avoid the beast took 2 days without sleeping. Once I finally reached the foot of the mountain I carefully dug a cave into the side of the mountain and crawled into it falling asleep. Waking up, I hear the all too familiar screech of the beast except this time quieter and weaker. I become confused as I know just how powerful it's screech should be. Looking out of the cave I made I see a smaller and weaker version of the beast. 'It's kid huh...' sitting in the cave a crazy idea pops up into my head.
Finishing the details and telling Streak about my plan and having him make sure the adult beast isn't around I go outside and lie on the ground pretending to be hurt. Squinting my eyes I see that the young and inexperienced beast has fallen for my trap. As it swoops down to pick up an easy meal as it is about to pick me up with it's talons I dodge to the side noticing that it is slightly slower than me, I use my iron claws to rip it's wings membrane rendering it unable to fly.
This took away it's largest advantage over me, turning around I control the heat in the air around it causing it to be harder to breath and slowing it down giving me a further advantage. Just as the young, hot-headed beast can't take the standoff and charges at me Streak, who was waiting for the right moment the whole time finally swoops in and pecks it in the eye causing it's movements to become erratic, trying to take advantage of this I charge at it, unfortunately I had greatly underestimated the offspring of the monster living on the mountain as it recovers and bites me right in the chest and thrashing me around a bit before I bite it and take a piece right out of it's side.
The beast finally let go of me tossing me a couple meters away, as it is slowly walking towards me I struggle to move only to find that my body won't respond, as I sit there watching death walk my way, Streak suddenly starts chirping madly taking the attention of the beast away from me and charging at it in a last attempt to save our lives. Streak jumped at the beasts face but got swatted down onto the ground.

Watching Streak fighting for my survival when he could have just flown away I feel a foreign emotion washing over me, I feel tears flowing down for the first time in my life. That sadness turned into bubbling over me as the beast raised it's leg over the unconscious Streak my vision turns red as the dragon bloodline inside of me comes forth in the form of a dragon head that opens it's jaws and crushes the beast in half. [You have gained the skill Depth of a Dragons Jaw] [You have killed a Lesser ancient Scaled Bird] *You have gained 5 levels* I barely looked at the notifications as I picked up and cradled Streak in my arms as tears were still dripping down my face. I was barely conscious as I walked back to my cave and fell unconscious on the floor.
[As you have reached the required level you may evolve into one of the below] [Reptilian Devil-This devil is the Reptilian version of the evolution that comes after the Imp 'the devil'. This beast is covered in a thick coat of scales. The Reptilian Devil focuses on Strength and Defense, along with it's coat of scales this beast is perfect to take enemies head on] [Draconic(ish) Devil-This creature is the evolution after the Scaled imp. This beast has high potential for future evolutions. This beast focuses on speed and magical prowess] [Dragon Devil-This beast gives up future evolutions for immediate strength. This Devil has scales integrated into it's skin resulting in an extremely tough defense. This beast uses speed, strength and magical powers of high levels to take down any enemies that come it's way] [Ancient Dragonian Devil(minor)-This evolution path was unlocked by having the bloodline of Ancients as well as a dragons bloodline. This creature has unlimited potential for future evolutions] Barely awake I look at the options and choose before quickly falling asleep. Opening my eyes I am once again surrounded by darkness. 'This is weird, I should be able to see in the dark easily thanks to my night vision, right?'(Jack) "HAHAHAHAHA, you have kept me entertained far longer than I thought possible for a mortal. As a reward for relieving me of my century old boredom I will give you a clue to where that human you have secretly been worried about this whole time is!"(????) "You, you're that annoying God that sent me to this unknown world in the body of an imp aren't you."(Jack) "Yes, I am that 'Annoying God' and you are the 'Annoying Human' who has kept me entertained! As I have little time, I will get straight to it and tell you that the human 'Takeru' is in the human capital on the other side of this world. BYE!"(Annoying God) Trying to refute and shout at him I find that I can't move and I lose consciousness. Once again opening my eyes, this time into the cave that I collapsed in I try to remember what happened before I lost consciousness. DING! [You have evolved into-Ancient Dragonian Devil(minor) you have been granted +25 to all stats] [You have gained the skill 'Iron Skin'] [You have gained the skill 'Steel Claws'] [You have gained the skill 'Steel Teeth'] [You have gained the skill 'Earth Magic'] [You have gained the skill 'Dragon Tail'] [You have gained the skill 'Berserk'] "How the hell did I get another one of the ten powerful bloodlines when you are only allowed to have one?"(Jack) DING! [As You have found the hole in the Annoying God's hiding of your ancestry you have revealed the hidden Title-SON OF THE TITANS- You are the son of two titans who were the beginning of all bloodlines. This allows you to have more than one bloodline] "WHAT THE HELL HAS THAT GOD BEEN HIDING FROM ME!?"(Jack) After shouting curses at the Annoying God for a while I finally get tired of it. "Well, no use cursing him until I have enough power to go up there and teach him a lesson."(Jack) Deciding to check out my improved body I go outside and find a small pond to look at my reflection in. Standing around 6 feet tall, my skin is now tougher and a darker shade of red. The dark purple engravings on my arms now reach all the way to my ankles. My eyes still have a purple, slit pupil but now they have a line of red going down the middle. My claws and teeth have now turned silver and have become stronger than Steel. The wavy purple hair that runs down my back has now turned a darker shade of purple and has black streaks running down in some places. My ears are pointed and they have one wavy, purple line running from the base of the ears to the tip. Growing from my tailbone is a dark red, 8 foot long tail covered in dark red scales and ending in a sharp tip on par with a rapier. Even with all these major changes, the greatest change had happened to my face. Whereas my face when I was an Imp was ugly and looked like a goblin, my new face is extremely handsome with chiseled features that seem to give off an intimidating air, paired with my piercing, purple eyes I would be the ultimate lady killer if they're not... you know, scared of a Demon Dragon... 'Oh well' since I was still feeling groggy from the fight I decided to head back to the cave and get more rest.
