“Ugh where am I ? man my head hurts, wonder what happened?” were Toms current thoughts as he sat up in a completely white room.
“Welcome to heaven currently we are in the process of calculating the points to give you before your reincarnation.” said a woman in all white with huge beautiful wings that covered her body. She had blonde hair with violet colored eyes that seem like they could see through his very soul.
“Wait you said heaven?!?! I died? Oh yeah I was assassinated for saving a young woman from the underground world.” mumbled Tom as he was thinking about everything going on around him currently. He thought back to when he was part of a secret agency created to rescue people from terrorist, underground organizations, and drug lords through out the entire world. In his life time he had rescued over 735 people and killed over 329 assassins that attempted to take his life. He was a nightmare for the underground world and all shady organizations. Sadly he was taken down by one of his own comrades that turned on him to save his daughter. Its not that Tom blames him its just he doesn't understand how a father could continue working in that kind of environment and not take care of his own child. Finally the woman came back and looked at him with a hint of respect and veneration in her eyes.
“ Thomas Avry died at age 36 had no family. Saved hundreds of lives and killed hundreds of evil people . For the service you provided in your world, we are going to give you 4381 points "said the beautiful angel as she disappeared and huge light flashed before his eyes. When he opened his eyes a screen floated in front of him. The screen showed all kind of skills and benefits with a number beside them. From what he could gather he could spend his points on these things. It also seemed like he couldn't reincarnate back into his original world. When he asked about it , a stern voice replied saying”sorry all souls must move on to another world when they die” this led him to the conclusion his new world was kind of like those that he had read about in mangas and novels. What interested him the most was the dragon king that costed him 3000 points. The description explained he would be born as an egg and through his process of leveling he would have the option of evolving and no matter what path he chose he would in the end become a dragon king of that race. He thought that since he had already lived as a human and did what he could, why not go big and try a different race in a different world and see how it would turn out. He also chose to pick magic eyes, magic manipulation, physical resistance ability, morph ( which allowed him to morph into a person that looked more human like but would have horns on his head and would be as tall as a human his age), and last he chose the skill easy learner. These skills allowed him to see magic, manipulate magic, resist physical attacks better, turn into a human looking creature, and also learn new skills at a 200% pace. This would make him weak in the beginning but as he evolved and learned new skills he would be way stronger than any thing he could have chose for strong abilities.
“Thank you for spending your points the remaining points will be saved for the next time you reincarnate. Good luck with your new life!” after hearing this faint voice Tom fell into a deep sleep. When he awoke he felt like he was pinned in. He rolled around trying to get out of the walls that confined him. After a few minutes of struggling he finally heard a cracking noise and fell. The dazzling sun light rained down on him as he waited for his eyes to readjust. He looked around trying call out to people only to hear a cute little growl. Only then did he finally realize that he was truly a cute light king dragon. Knowing that he would be in trouble in this forest for a new born who had low stats he started burrowing through the ground under a giant tree. He was around 2 feet tall when he was on all four of his legs. This meant he could barely see anything and could only hide under ground from most preys till he knew what to do. He soon feel asleep after feeling fatigued from all the digging he did. That was the most a new born could do and as he fell into slumber his soul was back in a white room staring at the beautiful woman with violet eyes.
“ Welcome back you can call me Angie I am the angel that will be helping you through out the beginning of your life. Your new world is full any many races both demi-human and demonic races. You are considered a holy race as the dragon kings use to rule this world a couple thousand years ago. You evolve slowly and you wont be able to morph until you at least evolve once. You are currently know as just a baby dragon king. You can chose many different paths to evolve into but each has pros and cons. To check on your current lvl and stats just say 'stats window' in your mind and it will appear. Also the the forest you are in is a forest in the human content called Mithard, Be careful not to get caught by slave traders. They will put in up as a slave and make you a pet. Although they can make you accept a slave contract this will be void in a 24 hour time period as your dragon king blood doesn't allow others to enslave you. Lastly you will see me until you evolve into a “youth dragon” which is when you evolve to the point that your wings grow and your can fly.” explain Angie in a calm and collected voice. As Tom listened he finally understood a lot of things he had to do and knew he was in more danger than he originally thought he was in.
He woke up and yawned with a cute sound coming out his mouth. He then looked around realizing he was starving. He wobbled around as he got out of his burrow and slowly looked around. He tried to stretch out his wings but learned they barely moved and his scales were softer than he had thought.
He slowly walked around from bush to bush and finally saw a worm crawling around on the ground. The weird thing was that it was almost as big as him and that above its head was {lvl 1 red worm} seeing this he knew he had to be careful. He was weak and even a worm could possibly be dangerous. Tom pounced on it and swiped it with his claws, as he did a -5 appeared in front of him. He then swiped it with his tail and then bit its head making a -10 then a Crit -25 appear. After biting its head it finally stopped struggling and in his head he saw a + 10exp appear. This allowed him know that even worms were not simple and he gained exp from killing them. At this point though he really didn't care he swallowed the worm after taking a few bites then quietly hide and started hunting again.
By the end of the day he had killed over 6 red worms and even killed a slime that randomly appeared when he was killing a red worm. He was sure that he leveled up,but waited until that night to consult with the angel Angie on what she thinks he should do. He wobbled back to his burrow while thinking about the experience he had gained, one thing was that he had slowly gotten use to using 4 legs instead of 2. it was a little hard for him at first but as he wobbled around he finally got use to using them. He also learned that all though his scales were soft his claws were extremely sharp and using them to pierce some ones vitals caused critical attacks.
For him the most unusual part was the fact that he couldn't just rip their heads off. He couldn't do anything that he thought was logical. This made it hard for him to accept coming from a world where he was use to being a one hit kill on his enemies. That night in his sleep Angie appeared again. He learned that he would evolve once he reached lvl 10, afterwords he would be reset levels but with higher base stats and also he would be able to evolve again after a certain lvl. When he check his status this is what appeared.

Intrigued with his own stats tom let a laugh leak out of his mouth.

“ Do you have any questions for more during this time?” asked Angie in a sweet voice.
“ What all changed when I evolve?” wondered Tom after he collected his thoughts together.
“ well for one you base stats such as health and mana will increase per level and depending on what you evolve into you will be able to use higher grade magic along with your scales, size , and wings growing depending on your choices. Some dragons are large while others are smaller. Some have a stronger defense while others have stronger attack making them have larger claws and such.” responded Angie.
“ Thanks I guess its time to get some sleep and worry about all that later thank you Angie have a good day” said tom as he went back to sleep, deciding to rest some more before getting up the next day.
When he woke up it was early morning. The sun had barely risen over the horizon, as roars could be heard off in the distance. Being bored with the worms and slimes tom decided to head towards the roar he heard earlier. On his way he fought with a few slimes and even killed a small pack of wolves. Finally as the sun was sitting in the middle of the sky he reach the loud roars. Watching from the underbrush he found out that some humans were fight a steel backed bear. A bear like creature with crazy defense and offense but low agility. There was a shield bearer, a healer, and a spear-man. They all had on low level gear and were struggling to fend off the steal backed bear.
“Selphy run! There's no way we can take this bear down please go get help!” yelled the shield bearer as he fended off a paw attack of the bear. Seeing this sight tom wanted to help, but didn't know how so he kept hidden and watched for awhile.
“ Brian no! I wont leave you! Im a healer im here to heal you guys in times like these. if I leave who else will heal you?! “ cried the girl named selphy.
Tom growled as he used his flame breathe on the back of the steel backed bear and then ran around to another bush. The bear having actually taken damage, turned to look for its attacker but didn't find anything. It roared furiously as if telling who ever the hell messed with him better back down.
Tom growled quietly frustrated with the group in front of him! Those bunch of idiots! They didn't even run when he gave them the chance to. He signed as he took a deep breathe then let out another flame breathe again, this time the steel backed bear turned around and stared at him through the bushes. Looking at the bear tom saw{steel backed bear lvl 8 hp 183}and he just smiled wryly as he let out a claw attack stabbing his red claws into the dragons back. He used his razor sharp teeth to bite into the bears neck then jumped off and ran into the under brush again hiding from the bear. Seeing this scene play out in front of them, Selphy and her party ran and healed each other preparing to attack it again.
“ Brian what was that thing that attack the bear just now?” asked Selphy in a low voice.
“ Some sort of dragon or maybe a lizard infant. Either way from its actions I can tell that its only attacked to help us out. Though im not sure why exactly.” replied Brian with a weird look on his face.
“ well he probably cant fight that bear seeing how he ran away after attack, but he did more damage than any of us could have down or else the bear wouldn't be so pissed off at the moment.” the tall slender man with the spear commented as he observed the steel backed bear. The shield bearer moved back in front and used his skill{taunt} to grab the bears attention after doing so the spear-man used his attacks to slowly lower the bears health while Selphy the healer used heal spells from the back.
Tom took advantage of this time to use his{fast learner} skill to learn their skills. Then he looked back at the steel bear to see its stats which showed {steel backed bear lvl 8 hp 36}. Tom jumped out of the underbrush and unleashed a series a claw attacks into the head of the steel backed bear. Next he used a dragons breathe in its face that finally resulted in taking it down. In his mind appeared {exp gained 1000} &{level up, current level 9}. After killing the bear he took off its arms and slowly cooked them with his breathe . He continued on to eat the arms and watch the party of three around him.
Seeing that they weren't hostile he used his claw to write in the sand “ take what you need I just wanted food “. Selphy was the first to notice this and giggled as she looked at the baby dragon curiously. It was a black dragon with red claws that looked like evil but had the face of a harmless creature. She slowly approached it and after getting close enough she played with its tiny horns. To tom he didn't really care she was a cute girl with curly brown hair, around 17 years old, slender waist and slightly curved peeks . She was cute and lively but to his heart of stone it didn't really move him, he just ignored it and kept on eating.
Only when the spear man got near him did he finally look cautious. The spear-man put his spear into his magic bag then slowly approached tom. “ my name is Kaleb I mean you no harm I was only wondering if you could tell why you helped us?”(kaleb). Tom watched the man closely he seemed like the type of man who would work for benefits but would sacrifice others for his own life if he had to. He saw a flash of greed in Kaleb's eyes even if it last less than a moment. Tom laughed inwardly to himself as he blended into the shadows of the forest growling as a warning. Later he followed the group to find out where the village was located. Selphy pouted her red lips then grabbed her gear and walking over to Brian's side. After they cleared their wounds they decided it was time to head back to the village and turn in their loot for today to get money. Brian needed I better shield along with a new helmet. His shield was a beginner lvl 1 shield that had been with him for a few years. His helmet had been crushed by the steel back bear during their brutal battle.
They then traveled diligently back to their village. Little did they know that behind them, Tom was following and marking the trees as he passed the time. They arrived at the village as the sky turn scarlet and the sun was letting the last of its light shine across the land. After Tom conformed the villages position he burrowed out some land in the forest about a mile from the village. Since he was close to leveling up to 10 he hunted some more demon beasts in the forest and leveled up before he went to sleep. As he closed his eyes in his mind he was prompted a question{ what dragon do you wish to evolve into?}.
Baby earth dragon ( slow but has extreme defense)
baby flame dragon ( larger than most dragons and mainly uses flames)
Baby shadow dragon (smaller dragon that is black and agile. Prefers dark magic)
After thinking about his options slowly he decided to evolve into a shadow dragon. In his previous life he always worked from the shadows being quick and ruthless. As soon as he chose the shadow dragon darkness enveloped him and he lay their in silence. His skin felt like it was burning and itching and he could faintly hear his own bones cracking. By the time the shadow disappeared he had evolved into a small black dragon with a tinge of blue on him. When he layed in the shadows he felt safe and powerful, when he was out in the daylight he felt insecure and weaker.
