"Whoa, I knew it was a good choice to choose this one!"(Jack)
Since I already knew what all of my new skills did I decided to check out what I look like. Looking into the same pond I saw myself as the Erde Lizard in I see myself about one foot longer and the same dark black color. The difference is that this time I have an earthy brown streak running across both sides of my body. My eyes are a deep fiery red. There also seems to be a watery blue tint to my scales and an azure streak running down my back. Along with this my scales and teeth have become silver like iron and my head has grown two more horns.
"Hmm, seems like I gain traits based on which magic I've learned."(Jack) looking up from my reflection I see... a human? Standing a few feet away from me is a gorgeous woman with flowing golden locks and looks suspiciously like a princess. Spotting me, she freezes up and has a look of terror on her face.
"Hello?"(Jack)
"Y-you can speak the human's language?"(Girl)
"Yeah, anyways what are you doing here?"(Jack) I say this remembering that there are only evil people and those who were banished in the underworld.
"I-I-I am princess Victoria enchrestos renscetuosch the third." She says while trying to put on a bold tone.

"Well what's a princess doing in the underworld?"(Jack)
"I... was banished"(Victoria)
"Why?"(Jack)
"You see, my kingdom is matriarchal and I was next in line for the throne, unfortunately my sister was loved by everyone so she ended up being crowned, since I was seen as a threat I was banished."(Victoria)
"I see, well I have a question. Why aren't you afraid of me."(Jack)
"Well, as you can speak the humans language you were obviously a human before you were banished."(Jack)
"Ok... wait a minute. How'd you know I was banished?"(Jack)
"Only those who were banished and are not evil ones may take on the form of another body."(Victoria) she said as if it were common sense.
"Anyways, let's talk more once we get back to my cave."(Jack)
"Ok, I'm happy to go anywhere as long as it's not in that forest."(Victoria)
Walking back we entered the cave and heard a DING!
[You have encountered the C+ rank Macht lizard]
The lizard was 2 feet longer than me and had thick scales and large bulging muscles.
"Jack! I have so much strength now, watch this."(Streak)
Streak then picks up a large stone in his mouth and crushes it.
"Haha, what skills did you get?"(Jack)
"Well I got Steel teeth, Steel Claws, Crusher, which is as you have seen right there gives me incredible strength in my jaw, power magic which is basically something like covering a body part in mana to make it tougher but this actually imbues mana inside your body increasing your strength, I also got power slam which uses power magic to create an incredibly strong punch."(Streak)
"Not bad, you should teach me that power magic sometime."(Jack)
"What is that gangly thing behind you?(Streak)
"Oh that? That is Vi-

"I am Victoria Enchrestos Renscetuosch the third. Princess of the Matriarchal human kingdom."(Victoria)
"Oh, ok. Hi Tor."(Streak)
"No! It is not Tor it is Vic-
"That's pretty good. Hi Tor.(Jack)
I sat there for a while amused by watching the little human stomp around and pout.
"Well Tor it's time for some questions."(Jack)
"Haaah, okay." Tor said, finally accepting her fate.
"First off, tell me more about the underworld plane."(Jack)
"Ok, the first thing I should tell you is that the underworld is NOT a plane. It is just a part of the human continent that was cut off to imprison evildoers and those who have been banished it is guarded by the SS ranked Dragon Paarthanaux so no one dares to break in. The only way out is to defeat him in a battle. But that has never happened.(Tor)
"I see, so my parents lied to me."(Jack)
"Now that I have answered one of your questions it's time you answered one of mine. How did you get banished here?(Tor)
"Well, basically I was living as an orphan in my old world and then I died and was reincarnated in another world and became quite strong before being killed. Since I had died I met my parents who are actually titans and they banished me here"(Jack)
"Wait, what."(Tor)
