The next day I woke up. I feel completely different than before. I have become smaller, but there is more power in me. Also, I feel some kind of core in my heart instead of my heart. I checked the specifications.

Fine, that's very good. But I am confused by these question marks. After thinking a little, I realized that I was able to make scales and claws sharper at will. It seems good, but not so much. If I make the scales too thick, it will affect me. I think a lot of experiments need to be done here. As for the heart, not only does it make my power management easier, but it also improved my feelings.

A system, show me from the side.

"System: Execution"

I examined myself. I became a little smaller, but at the same time, my strength increased. The sails on the head are gone, it seems, because of uselessness. The wings that used to look like bat wings became much bigger and looked like they were made of stone. A lot of spikes appeared on the body, which appear and disappear at my will. The tail has become longer and thicker. I looked very threatening. It is very good. After that, I tried to become human. A big body is certainly good, but I would prefer a smaller body in cities.

After a couple of attempts, I was able to become one. As I understand it, I can't become completely human. If I do, I will need to constantly maintain the state with mana. So I became a dragonoid. I'm almost like a human if you don't take into account the scales in vital places, wings, and tail, the tip of which was a bit like the sting of a scorpion. I don't look more than 20 years old

When I went outside to look around, I noticed that all of my people has become stronger. They also got wings and a tail, but so far everyone was asleep. I decided to wait a bit, sitting down next to Sean and Andre. They've gotten stronger too, especially Sean. He seems to have the beginnings of a Dragon Heart.

Out of boredom, I started reading an encyclopedia. There was a lot of information there. After reading a little about dragons, I realized that the dragon's heart is the main source of dragon power, and as long as the heart is intact, even after losing the whole body, as long as the heart is alive, they will not die. It is responsible for generating more dragon energy. The heart can grow a new body, and memories and the owner's soul are stored in the heart. This also means that we are actually immortal. But the heart will slowly be depleted and will end its life first in 10,000 years. But, this does not apply to dragons of the royal family. And only the king can return the energy to the old heart. It is very convenient for absolute monarchs.

While I was reading, Sean was already awake. Because he's the strongest, he was the first to awaken. He looked at me and bowed saying.

- My master. You have grown successfully, congratulations. - He was surprised that I looked like a dragonoid, but he didn't show it.

- Not only me, but you have grown up. Your bloodline has been cleared, and you are now stronger than before.- I said this time without using telekinesis

- You're able to talk? -He finally looked at himself and was surprised. -Master, your servant thanks you for this generous gift.

- Not only did you receive it, but every servant of my received my purification.

- Unbelievable - he looked at the other sleepers and saw that they had undergone significant changes. - When will they wake up?

- It depends on them. Some will be awakened earlier, some later.

- I see. Master, can your servant ask you, what are we going to do after all this?

- Prepare

- To what?

- To the big war.

- I don't know what war exactly you're talking about, but be confident, we are ready to sacrifice ourselves if you order us to.

…

In two hours, everyone has already woken up and got used to their new bodies. All dragonoids have gained the ability to fly and have sharp claws. Meanwhile, I started experimenting with the magic of alteration. First I made the claws sharper, they became sharper but a little thinner. I made the scales thicker and I started to feel a little heavier.

I tried using runes. First I tried to apply for weight relief on one scale and it worked. I also realized that I can easily apply different runes to my body just by wishing. I immediately put a feather rune on every scale and made the scales thicker. It didn't change my feelings of weight, but it only made me spend some mana on support.

After experimenting, I also realized that the changes are almost instantaneous. I can put a full barrier rune and put mana there and forget about it, it'll protect me from attacks until ran out of mana. Those runes that act passively, like the feather rune, spend a little mana on support. Usually, each armor either has a place where mana is stored, or it is stored in the metal of the armor. Sometimes both are combined. But those runes that, for example, have a force field can simply be charged once, and while the charge is there, it will not run out. But if the charge is finished, it can take energy from the armor. But if there is no energy, it will stop working. Of course, this can be adjusted at will if you are a magician. So I decided that my scales would have a full barrier rune most of the time.

As for the wings, they are no longer compact, but I am able to make them smaller, but this will not always be possible without the support of mana. But I am very satisfied.
