After a nigh endless amount of fucking boxes, I was taken back to the area where I first awoke. A quick scan revealed to me that it was a wide crater, with me at its very center. If I had more time earlier and saw this, perhaps I wouldn't have been so much of a fucking pussy and smacked Oogi and bitch-slapped that fucking dragon to the moon. Well, as close as I could get to a bitch-slap with only my shell anyways.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see something blue blinking. If I devote my attention to it, I'm pretty fucking sure that I would once again be bombarded by a bloody number of blue boxes. And while I am tempted to know what kind of rewards that Abyssal shit had churned out, I have a bad feeling that if I stay here any longer, I might not get time to enjoy even a teeny tiny bit of those rewards. The fact that I am getting sleepy (do eggs even get fucking sleepy??), clearly is not a good sign either. I need to haul butt asap.

But I need some shit so that I don't get noticed either.

Uh, how did I do this earlier again?

System. List all, uh, stealth-related skills and spells available. Most powerful and effective ones first, within my price range.

Yes. That last part was bloody necessary. I wasted precious time during the prep time before that nightmare of a tutorial cause of that. The options flashed before me, and I swiftly began to read through them.

Darth Nyx, Essence Shift, Gechura, Cloak and Dagger, Umbra Penumbra Antumbra.... What the hell are with these skills?

Damnit! I ain't getting conned again! 

Additional Condition: Usable by User without negative drawbacks.

There was a small pause before the System showed the blue boxes again, it was almost as if I could hear a 'Tsk' coming from somewhere in the vicinity. Fucking hell...

Essence Shift Skill Rating: SSS   950 SP Void Walk Skill Rating: SSS 900 SP Cloak and Dagger Skill Rating: SS 800 SP Shadow Step Skill Rating: A 300 SP True Stealth Skill Rating: A 200 SP

Essence Shift, Cloak and Dagger, Shadow Step, Void Walk, True Stealth... while these choices sound a wee bit more legit, I'm still a bit at a loss as to how to proceed. Ah fuck it, let's go with Essence Shift.

Essence Shift

Are you sure? Y/N

Why you little...

YES.

Essence Shift Level 1 Acquired!

Shit, I'm getting sleepier, and the blinking lights on the corner seemed to blink even fucking faster. Okay, activate skills, goddamn essence shift feels weird, standby some emergency spells, and... let's scram.

...

The Tian Yun realm was one of Demons and Immortals, of Cultivators who soar through the heavens astride their swords, of Heavenly Beasts who could grow so enormous they could swallow worlds. It belonged to one of the Nine Realms where Qi and Divine Will reign supreme, where science never bloomed but alchemy and feng shui blossomed. However, in a small backwater plane within it, was a world where these rules were not finite, a world 'infested' by energies beyond the grasp of Gods and Fiends alike, a place where the strongest Cultivators are but slaves to those who wield them. Immortals and Devils waged war upon and for that world, and many more tried to destroy it with their abilities, only to watch in horror as their very attacks were devoured by the creatures contaminated by the energies. Fearing for the Universe, the Divine Emperor himself summoned his most powerful generals and embarked on a path that would lead to a war that lasted for thousands of years. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, a great seal appeared the likes never before seen; an amalmagation of the strange energies and that of Qi and Divine Will.

The Divine Emperor claimed that it was of his making, but those who had personally fought the creatures merely scoffed at his words. The Seal was something far beyond even the Great Sages' comprehension, and clearly something that Emperor could not even dare to hope to conjure. It was as if it was moored in a reality different from their own, but at the same time existed as an indestructible giant before them. No attacks could pierce it, no techniques could shatter it, no Immortal can enter it. Those that dared to try to do so by sealing their own cultivations ended up suffering fates worse than death. As such, they could do nothing but watch and prepare for whatever horrors would erupt.

But as millenia passed, and not a shadow of the creatures ever resurfaced from that world again, and no being ever left the Seal, the fear that once permeated the Immortals' hearts became mere memory.  They had thought the nightmare over, the war finished, but the creatures were simply waiting, and when the sky split and the earth was torn asunder within that small world, they knew then that the wait was over.

...

 While I did fucking say that I was in a huge crater, I severely miscalculated the ratio of my abilities in comparison with the distance. The crater wasn't just huge, it was fucking HUGE. At least three hundred bloody kilometers in diameter, holy fuck. How is this world not destroyed? Well, seeing as I'm a legit Dragon (Egg),  this world might be bigger than I think, and definitely sturdier. Bloody hell, did this mean I destroyed this world's equivalent of a "Beginner Village"? Don't tell me I have to sleep out here!? I might wake up to find myself in someone's stomach again!

Warning! Evolution Process is about to begin. 

Shit! I'm going to evolve right fucking now?! Bitch! Am I a fucking pokemon?! 

Seeing as I had no bloody time to find a place to hide, I immediately shifted my efforts to making a hiding place of my own. Activating Maximum Roll simultaneously with Telekinesis, I turned myself to a fucking giga drill. I burrowed deep into the earth all the while using Telekinesis to return the displaced dirt back above me. If I was still human I would call myself a bloody retard for cutting off my air supply and basically burying myself alive. But right now, I don't need to fucking breathe. I must be at least 2 kilometers deep by now, magic really is so fucking handy.

Evolution Process Commencing. Please Choose Your Next Species.

This is bad. This is really bad. I'm so fucking drowsy I don't think I'll be able to choose properly! What kind of bloody idiot designed this sorry excuse of a system!?
