Chapter 3: Chapter 1: I’m Just Growing Up Normally, Nothing Wrong Here.

I awoke from my slumber.

Probably, that's the word they use when some kind of dragon is involved.

Nhh...

Let me stretch a bit...!

Ah... yeah...

I'm still in this egg...

I kinda felt much stronger than before. Maybe I could get out of this egg now. So I checked out my status to see if anything changed.

Hoh... I'm awesome. I napped for about 2 days straight.

That aside, my stats kinda raised a lot, but I'm not really that surprised, since it's probably normal for a dragon to be as strong as this.

I'm probably growing faster than any normal dragon. I am a winged lizard unlike any other. This growth should be old man Seggie's fault.

Since I may get bored soon enough, inside this egg staring at the inside of this shell like a kid chained to the naughty wall, I attacked the shell with my claws.

It cracked a bit.

No point describing these spontaneous and artful patterns I make while cracking this shell, so I'll just break it.

...

"Ah... Hhhhh..."

I breathed in some fresh air through my fragile reptilian nostrils.

Now, currently, I'm just a tiny little dragon in the middle of a forest. From the world info thing, I could tell that this forest is simply filled with magic energy and beasts, or simply, you could call them monsters (EXP).

My first goal is to learn about my own power, since I know its pretty strong, and is beyond generic as a unique ability. Hmm...

I started by looking for targets with my leveled-up [Sense] ability. It could reach up to 4 meters only, though. I'll just keep it on for the rest of my long life, since I got [Mana Recovery] from my growth as a dragon baby.

Anyway, since my [Sense] was still too low-leveled, I decided to test out my [Dragon's Breath] ability. I noticed that my INT and Mana are much higher than my other stats, so I'm probably more of a magic-user, some better range. From looking at skill details, my breath seemed to consume MP (mana) as I kept using it and the consumption lowered as the skill level raised. The power of the breath depended on INT, obviously, as a gamer kid, since it was a magic attack.

Now, since I want to experiment on the forest with my breath, I charged up... uhm... about 1000 points of MP into my throat. As I did this I took a deep inhalation. I shortly exhaled and released all of the collected energy as a beam of light that was about double the size of my head. It went 'beaming' throughout the forest and stopped after flying a half a kilometer. Hehe.

[[Leveled Up: 1 -> 16]]

I barely spent a seventh of my mana and I'm already level 16. I felt myself grow slightly larger too. Since I leveled up, my stats grew and they were now about double my level 1 amount, and my [Dragon's Breath] leveled up to 2 as well. Now that I had more MP to use, I could level up... more efficiently.

"Heheheheheh..."

I laughed in Italian as I thought about ways to increase the efficiency of my level ups.

...

According to the self-growing map, I was in a forest that would probably be ranked C, so everything here is basically my food to level up with. The old man kinda looked dumb, but his plans are somewhat well-done. (Important note: Old man Seggie-chan had help from some other gods. This took a few short years (17,000+)...)

As I finished my own plans, I tested something out, which worked in the end. I could control the range, power, and size of the light beam that gets shot out of my mouth. I was also able to shoot out around a hundred of tiny beams that spread out which would help with destroying large groups.

This is absolutely my life, so I refuse to be controlled by normal weak-to-strong plots and stuff where I encounter and destroy weak beings and gradually move on to destroy the strong.

I should first wipe out every living thing in this forest, for my own benefit (EXP), strong or weak... Huhu...

Seeing from how easily my first breath beam cut through everything, I decided to shoot out a longer and wider attack, but with less power, since it would be enough to kill anything in the forest anyway. With [Identification] it only showed the level of my upgrade materials here in this forest, which were between (level) thirty to fifty. They were probably still pretty weak compared to me, even though I'm still low-leveled.

As every magic training arc goes on about imagination and related things, I imagined an attack that was wide and long-ranged, and low powered. Like the first time, I gathered mana into my throat and released it, creating a huge beam that destroyed nearly everything in its path.

The light dimmed and the area around me eventually cooled down. In front of me, was the section of the forest I destroyed with nothing but a single breath. Wahaha! I'm clearly an OP protagonist type of character!

[[Leveled Up: 16 -> 45]]

Pretty fun way of leveling up here, I reached level 45 already in my first day after hatching. By the end of the week, I should be above level 150. By the way, this is what my current status looks like:

All of my status values other than luck are above ten thousand, which is a good sign that I'm getting at least slightly stronger. Now, onto details about my Abilities: [Refraction] seems to be a unique skill, which means that only I have it in this entire world. Heh. It's simply a skill that allows me to 'refract' magic like how a prism would refract light. But since this ability is still low-level, it probably could only, barely, affect kiddie magic pranks. I'll keep it passively activated as some kind of shielding for my body, to train it passively.

And by the way, I'm not using [Humanification] because I end up turning into a human baby, every time I try it out. The human form looked (very) slightly older when my level raised, as comparing Lv16 and Lv45, so I think I'll have to be a few hundred levels higher to have a more grown-up looking human form. I guess that's something I could possibly look forward to... for now, I should waste more time on levels.

I blasted few more beams which eliminated several sections of this forest. As I leveled up and removed living chunks of experience, I created a pie chart using just my eraser tool that just SHOWS the pure VIGOR of my existence in this world.

Eventually the level up notifications stopped coming in like orders for bathwater. I'm currently level 78.

Like in a typical game, the required experience for level-ups increase relatively as your level increases, so now I'm having trouble leveling up with weak little orcs and stuff.

Now that its come to this...
