The Dragon Lord System
S1 - Host Evolution Options 4.0
Hm..
I see my surroundings on this floor.
As it turned out, the empty space on the 10th floor was already crowded with my stone statues.
I felt a little disappointed that there was nowhere else to create a new piece of art.
The innermost room on the floor was already occupied by the 10-meter-high angel statue I had just made.
Every time I passed the room, it felt like the statue's position had changed.
I don't know, maybe it's just my imagination that's overdone.
I decided not to think about it further.
"Hmm, the 10th floor is full. Without this kind of vast, empty space, I can't make any more stone sculptures" I murmured.
"If there's no space available, then I have to make it myself."
Without a second thought, I decided to dig up the 11th floor.
I also dig while eating.
"Now, it's time to eat" I said with a satisfied smile.
I started to bite and chew food with pleasure.
These are always delicious as always. However, as I ate, I heard an unusual rustling sound.
As it turned out, there were many large gemstones coming out from this food.
It felt like the number of these gemstones had increased by leaps and bounds after reaching the 10th floor.
It's a strange phenomenon, but I don't know.
"Does this food have its own magic?" whispered while chewing.
"Maybe I should give a special name to this food. How about... 'Food Gem'? Hehe, sounds interesting."
While eating a snack full of gemstones, I continued my work of digging and building my 11th floor.
"How long have I been digging?"
I don't know, but the dirt and gemstones I ate were pretty much, and I ate them all, hehe.
As it turned out, 4M activity was very useful in making me level up again!
I was shocked when a new notification appeared in front of me.

...[.CONGRATULATIONS HOST CALLIGA LEVEL UP!]...

I looked up at the list of evolutionary options. I evolved without a choice?
Strange as it may be, is my system a bug?
I don't know.
Well, it's time to choose the right evolution.
I looked carefully at the five evolutionary options.
I don't want to regret my choice after it evolved, so I have to choose wisely.
"Hmm, tough choice"
Aquamarine Leviathans sounds interesting, I can be the ruler in the ocean.
But, I already have a unique skill for living in the waters, so maybe it's not the best option.
The Abyssal Voidwyrms were too frightening, and I had obtained the [Devourer] skill anyway, so it didn't seem to be very useful.
Celestial Seraphdragons sound interesting.
Imagine if many people looked at me with graceful wings and exuded a heavenly aura. But wait, I live inside this land.
It felt unsuitable for the heavenly beings living within the ground.
So, we're missing it.
The Emberflame Wyverns seemed like a fierce fire dragon, but if I chose this, what would happen to my house that had been decorated with so many statues? It's gonna melt. Skips!
Alright, the only option left is the 4 Colored Dragon. I read the description with interest. Whoa, this dragon has all four elements: earth, water, fire, and air? So multifunctional! And he said it was a rare dragon. Hmm, good choice!
Without a doubt, I clicked on the 4 Colored Dragon option on the hologram panel.
I clicked on the option, and suddenly my body was hot. It hurts more than before! Well, this is so painful, that I'm not strong and faint.
As my consciousness faded, a single thought flashed through my mind, "Ah, right the saying goes, 'so dragon, fly high in the sky, but don't faint as it evolves!'"
...----------------...
After coming to my senses from my evolution, I was greeted with another new notification.
The strange system is back:
...[.DING DONG!]...
...[.CONGRATULATIONS, HOST CALLIGA! SUCCESSFULLY EVOLVED!]...
...[.HOSTS GET SPECIAL SKILL 4 COLORED DRAGON]:...
...[.WATER BLAST]: Collects Energy around to fire powerful water blast beams. COOLDOWN/CD: 1 DAY...

...[.TERRA BLAST]: Collects Energy around to fire powerful blast beams of soil. COOLDOWN/CD: 1 DAY...
...[.AIR BLAST]: Collects Energy around to fire strong wind blast beams. COOLDOWN/CD: 1 DAY...
I looked enthusiastically at the four new skills I had acquired.
"Haha, it's not in vain that I chose this evolution!"
At least I have four useful attack skills other than [Dragon Breath].
So satisfied!
Hmm, it feels different.
Was this place always as small and narrow as this? As it turns out, I became bigger after this evolution, hehehe.
I got up and saw the change in my dragon body. Now, my body is brownish red with a deep-blue black feel.
"Eh?"
My body color looks cool.
"Is this the so-called 4 Colored Dragon because my body is changing into 4 different colors?"
Even though brownish red is more dominant, it still looks cool!
Suddenly, I felt something strange on my back.
I looked back and was surprised to see a pair of brownish-red wings with blackish-blue wingtips.
"YES! I finally have wings!"
Haha, I'm finally becoming a real dragon! I saw my tail now equipped with sharp spines at the ends.
Hmm, for some reason, I felt my gaze wider and sharper.
Ah, let it be, maybe it's an evolutionary effect.
"Yes! It's time to check my status!"

"Haha, I'm getting stronger!"
Eh? Any new status on my height?
Now I have a height of 5 meters, huh?
All right, good info!
"Yes! It's time to use my stats bonus!"
I used my 80 bonus stats to increase my strength.

I was curious about the four skills I just acquired.
Aargh, I think I'd like to try it.
It doesn't hurt to try, hehehe.
After looking at the four skills I got, I thought, "Hmm, what skill should I try first? Water Blast, Terra Blast, Fire Blast, or Air Blast?"
After considering what skill I wanted to try, I decided to try
[Terra Blast].
Yes, it seems like it is suitable to try in the ground.
Yosh! I concentrated and imagined the earth energy gathering within me.
I felt a lot of energy in my mouth.
I decided to take out the [Terra Blast].
"But, wait!" I said in panic.
"Why can't I get him out?"
The earth energy still gathered around me and headed for my mouth.
"Geez!"
I couldn't stop the energy that kept accumulating inside my mouth.
"How's this? If this explosion happens, my house will be destroyed!"
I panicked and tried to keep my mouth shut while trying to hold back the energy.
"Aargh, Calliga's stupid!" I cried while trying to hold the energy in my mouth.
However, I can't hold it for much longer.
Finally, I couldn't hold it in anymore and [Terra Blast] burst out from my mouth with incredible force, heading straight underground.
"Burrr-Grroaaaarrrrr!!!"
THE DUAR!!!
There was a huge earthquake and explosion under my ground.
DUARR!!
THE EXPLOSION!
I tried to stop him, but the energy just kept on exploding. The ground energy within me was depleted quickly, and eventually the explosion subsided.
The earthquake and explosion stopped.
Fiu...
Fortunately, my house did not collapse.
However, when I looked down, I realized that I had created a huge hole.
"Maybe about 100 meters more?"
I don't know..
In the distance, it looked like there was a vast cave like a ball stadium, and inside was a pool filled with water.
"Hmm, what is it?" I murmured while trying to focus on my new sharp gaze and my broader abilities.
Inside the pool of water, I saw a strange traditional building.
My dragon instinct directed me to approach the cave.
"Am I supposed to go there? Is that wise?"
I'm seriously considering.
Finally, unknowingly, I jumped out of the hole and raised my new wings, towards the old building that was in the water.
