A beautiful Purple figure was launched on top of a mountain, his hair flapping in the wind as enormous golden wings flew over his head.
"My son, don't let anyone stop you from achieving your goal."
The sky flashed yellow as the cloud separated, revealing a void.
~5 hours later~
"Where am I? Who am I?" I asked myself as lightning shot up in the sky, finding out that I was on the surface of a mountain.
"Clouds, I can almost touch them." I pulled my arms down and stood up as I looked at my body. "Purple skin? Is this normal? How did I get here?" I question as I look at the dark clouds turning white. As I stared into the sky, I was at peace; almost nothing could ruin this moment. Rain washed my face as I just lay there. I had nothing and needed nothing.
"The king of the world."
Seems a little too small for my taste. I need more.
~3 hours later~
I looked down the mountain I was standing on, and to my surprise, a hand made of rock was reaching up toward me. "WTF IS THAT?" I yelled as I jumped up. "How can it move?"
[ Quest 1: Defeat 1 Rock hand
Reward: stats panel]
"What are these floating words?" I question myself as I look at the translucent screen in front of me. "So those things are rock hands. The name is stupid." I said as I peered over the ledge, the rock hands were pulling each other down, trying to climb up. "That's a rock hand, how can I kill it, and what is a status panel?"
[A stats panel is a part of the system that helps you level up and check on the quest.]
"Wait, you can talk ?" I ask the mechanical voice in my head. After a long period of silence, I realized nothing was happening and quickly got mad. "Stupid voice," I said as I kicked a rock off the cliff.
"Wait a minute, I have an idea that might work." As I look over the cliff to see the hand climbing up the cliff, I pick up a rock and sling it at the hand. "Come on, you bastard, fall for your grandpa."
As I threw my third rock, the hand fell from the side of the cliff and hit its back on one of the spikes.
[ LEVEL UP]
[UNLOCK- stats panel]
"How do I open the stats panel…" Before I can even finish my sentence, a different panel opens up.
[ Name: Luther
Race: Dragon
Element: Storm
Level- 1
Age:14
Ap-50
Mp-60
Hp/Dp-170
Skills: shock lv:1]
"What am I, a dragon? Hold on, that feels right." I said, looking down at my purple skin. My anger builds up beyond my control as the thought of a mere rock's hands kills me.
"Hmm, my name is Luther, but I don't have a last name. Weird?" As I ponder my name, I slowly realize that I have a skill. "What is this? How can I use it?"
[ Shock is the fundamental skill of the Storm Dragon. It releases a small electric pulse that does 25 damage to the enemy, depending on their rank. You can activate it by thinking about it.]
"So now you can speak," I said as the lightning in the sky disappeared. The sight of the cloud clearing up almost made me cry, it was beautiful. "Wait a minute the voice only answers when I ask a question about the panel ." As I jump I decide to ask the voice a question about itself. "What are you."
[I am the voice of the system]
"System you said that what is a system?" It took a minute for the voice to respond.
[ The system is a device you developed to help you on your journey to the apex.]
"I made this how?"
[You didn't make this but it was made for you. A dragon can make a system to help their children evolve. Your father made this system for you.]
"I have a father?"
[Yes but my creator didn't give me information about him. He did say that you have siblings. And he hopes you battle them]
"Siblings hmm? This could be fun." I said as I looked down three rock hands jump up from the spikes and began to climb the cliff faster than before. "More rock hands are climbing up here."
"SHOCK!" I scream out as I face my hand towards the rock hands. The shock was small and did no damage but the force behind it cause the hands to fall on the spikes. "These rock hands are pathetic creatures…"
[EXP...
EXP...
EXP...
LEVEL UP
NEW SKILL UP LOCKED]
"Let's go!" I screamed as I jump up in joy. Sadness quickly came over as I realize they didn't die. "I was thinking that that attack would at least kill them. I'm too weak" I said as I look down at the hands, the anger that was building up was getting ready to bust. "let's check out this new skill I got." I showed a smile that could make any man shudder. "stats."
[Skills: shock lv:2
Frost touch lv:1]
"The new skill frost touch what does it do?"
[Frost touch is a skill used mostly by Storm Dragons, Water dragons, and Ice dragons. It deals 75 damage to enemies, it also leaves whatever it touches partly frozen. Frost damage depends on the rank or level of the enemy]
"Cool, but I'm going to have to be up and close to the enemy to attack them." I look down at my hands, and the tips of my finger are turning white. "This is beautiful," I said as I deactivated the skill, a loud enormous growl came from my stomach.
[Hunger level is extremely low. The host needs food]
"And where I'm going to get this food?" I questioned the system. As my hunger calm down I have gotten up as an idea pop up in my mind. "I should just get the hand meat if they had meat but how should I get down there without hurting or killing myself," I question as I look off the edge.
"Maybe I should just jump it can't be that bad. FUCK IT, I'm going to jump." I said as I begin to back up. "Hold on, I should check my health. Stats."
"It seems like my health is 170, but what is up?"
[Dp is defense points]
"I don't think one fall could kill me." I said to myself as I began to jump in place hyping myself up, "what type of dragon is scared of falling?"
"It seems like I have a lot, I might as well risk it." Soon as I let those words leave my mouth I ran to the side of the cliff and jumped off. As I fell down the wind hit my face bringing out an emotion of pure joy and happiness, " it's like I belong here." I said as the sight of the spike enter my view.
