The Dragon Lord System
S1 - What Is It?

Hua...

I woke up at last.

I slept so well. But now I wonder, how long have I been asleep? A day? Three days? Or even a week?

Given that I am now a dragon, my sleeping pattern is indeed completely different from my previous life as a human.

It was like living in a different time.

It was possible that during my sleep, time passed so quickly in the human world, while I felt a long sleep in the dragon world.

But are there humans in this strange world?

Ah forget it.

Hoaaamm...

Oh yes, as I continued to do 4M (Eating, digging, eating, digging), I finally evolved again!

I was hoping to get wings after the evolution this time, but it only grew a little bit my size, my body color was brown in anger and my horns were getting longer.

So, now I look like a scary and cool dragon, don't you think? Hehe.

But it's weird, huh? I am a dragon, but I cannot fly and just stay in the ground. It seems like I am a strange and unique dragon in this world.

It's been a long time since I've seen my status.

Come on, I'm calling STATUS!

A holographic panel appeared before me, displaying information about myself:

...[.STATUSES]...

...Name: Calliga...

...Species: Dragon??...

...Level: Level 45 (1000 XP required to level up)...

...Health Point/HP: 128...

...Power: 83...

...Defense: 125...

...Speed: 130...

...Evolutionary level: 3...

...Bonus Stats: 70...

...[.Skill]->Click to see the list of skills that HOST has...

I looked at my status panel carefully. Well, there are 70 bonus stats that I have not used at all.

I better keep it for emergencies.

My strength is at point 83.

It felt like I wanted to try my dragon breath skill, but I was also afraid of repeating the previous incident.

I don't want to seek the attention of the strange monsters here and risk them destroying my residence.

The earth house I built all this time will be in vain, nor do I dare to fight against the strange monsters in this world.

Hmmmm...

As it turned out, I only realized that every time I rose 1 level, my overall stats increased like this:

Health Point/HP: +2

Power: +1

Defense: +2

Speed: +1

Stats Bonus: +2

Hahaha, it really took me a long time to realize this. Don't tell me I'm stupid, it's just that I'm too lazy to do calculations and think hard. Hehe.

And, as I said before, I think this system is really trashy and useless.

I didn't even receive any notifications to get any new skills or other notifications, even though I had already climbed 25 levels. Weird, right?

"Well, this system is indeed dregs"

Ah, forget it.

At least my status increased and I became stronger. Maybe this system doesn't really matter as long as I can see my own development.

Hm...

Oh yea!

I want to continue my decorating job.

I was thinking of decorating the top floor with a room made of solid stone.

Although no one would see it but myself, I felt it was important to create beauty.

"Esthetic number one, isn't it?"

Hehe, yes, even though I have turned into a dragon, human nature is still attached to me. Aesthetics are important to me.

"There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

Yosh! Let's go upstairs and continue this decorating project. Hope the results are satisfactory!

I got to the first floor.

It's been a while, but somehow the air feels fresher than it does on the deeper floors. It feels more comfortable here.

It's possible that this first floor is closer to the exit, so the air circulation is smooth like this, right?

Wow, I thought fast, hehe.

Perhaps the effects of this evolution into a dragon also affected my brain.

Oh yeah, now I really understand the structure of the earth wall.

Yes, since I always do "4M" activities and carefully design my floors, I feel like an architect! I'm a great dragon, aren't I?

Hehe, who would have thought that a dragon could become a building expert as well.

If there was a competition to design a dragon house, I would definitely be the champion!

I saw my first ground floor spot (the one closest to the ground level and the exit/entry of my house).

It's a shame to see him. Perhaps this is what novel authors feel when they look at their past work.

Yeah, really "cringe"

Haha, it feels like I want to immediately renovate and upgrade it. No more mediocre ground floors, just a cool and majestic dragon-style ground floor!

Hmm, there's help near me

Ah, yes, I saw this stone and lifted it up.

How reminiscent of the memories from back when I was attacked by that stupid big dragon!

But actually, it was also my fault because I used my dragon breath, hehehe...

Maybe I could call it a "rock event" in my life!

Oh, and this rock I hold is so smooth and round.

I used it as a calendar replacement.

I marked every day by sliding this stone.

But I stopped doing it after how long?

Time became a bit fuzzy when I lived underground and was busy with "4M" activities hehehe.

All right, now let's head to the entrance first.

It's been a long time since I've been out, how missed. Before I wanted to step towards the exit/entry, I suddenly heard a loud rustling sound.

The creature that rippled then let out a quite shocking scream.

"Oh, what is it?"

The sound of the rustling and the screams gave me the creeps. There's something here, but what is it?

Maybe monsters came here to attack? My mind started to fill with fear, damn why should I be afraid?

Remember, you are a dragon! Haiz, I am still a coward despite being a dragon.

All right, then just slow down, don't panic.

Yosh! Come on spirit, don't be afraid!

With great courage, I began to approach her slowly. After a long time away from him, the sunlight that suddenly hit my eyes made my eyes sting.

But, I didn't let that bother, I wanted to take a close look at what was in front of me.

And apparently, there lay an injured animal. But not just any animal, but a giant beetle.
