Chapter 12 - Dragon System (2/2)

After my parents were done explaining everything that had happened while I was asleep. They left me be to rest in my room.

There was something that had been bothering me ever since I woke up. That was the messages I received after defeating the wolf.

I remember a status window appearing but at the time I was too focused to pay it any attention. Last time I wanted the window to disappear and it did, so maybe if I thought about it appearing it would appear again.

To my surprise, it worked.

What was this strange system, it never appeared before? Were all humans able to do something like this? the only person I could rely on for information was my mother but I wasn't sure if something like this would shock her.

I decided that no harm could come out of it and activated the skill. My vision had suddenly gone into a wireframe view. The walls and bed had a white wireframe showing the building blocks of it all. I looked towards my other wall to my right which led into the kitchen. I could see my father and mother on the other side of the wall. The frames on their body appeared as a gold glowing colour.

It was hard to explain but I could see more than with my regular eyesight. The yellow vision of their bodies even showed the details of their heartbeat and muscle fibres.

This wasn't a surprise to me because I had the same skill when I was a dragon. the skill came in handy when searching for enemies, as it allowed you to see through objects and more specific details. For example, if a person was to hide behind a tree or was hiding a weapon the eyes would allow me to see this.

I deactivated the skill and looked at the status window in front of me again. Although it didn't take any energy to use this skill it did strain my eyes.

On the status bar, there was a little tab that said skills. When looking through it a row of question marks appeared. Only one skill was showing unlocked which was the dragon eyes. On top of the list, it said 1/1000.

If I had to take a guess the numbers indicated the skills that I had as a dragon. I didn't know how many skills I knew. You never really count them I just used the ones that were most effective on my enemies. If someone was to say 1000 I would think that was a good guess. The only way to confirm my theory would be to unlock more skills.

This was the second problem. What was the condition to unlock skills? thinking back at what happened, the only thing I could think of was defeating the intermediate tier wolf. Was the condition to just kill a beast, or did it have to be a new creature every time? If that was the case wasn't that too easy? there where many beasts in the whole continent.

Thinking about this also made me remember that a second status window had appeared.

This I had never seen before. It was a complete mystery to me what a beast crystal even was. With no knowledge of what the crystal did, I decided to leave it be for now.
