Hello, my name is. Well, I don't know. For as far as I can remember, i was an orphan I was when i was 4 when i was 10 and all the way until i was 27 when i died by the hands best friend. I should be really angry right now i was an orphan as longest i can remember. I would be able to eat a single piece of bread a day. I would get beaten up almost every day by random people that i did absolutely nothing to. In the end, I was even killed by my best friend because of some rich noble said that he would give him a single silver coin if he killed be because he doesn't like my thick long hair (he must be jealous i let it grow because i could not afford a haircut).
Really i had every right to be angry and i was. I have seen everything, every single negative side of human and almost all human have them. I hate them i hate them all, if i had the power i word alienate the entire human race but unfortunately i didn’t. It must be death, it must be the reason that i don't feel much anger anymore. because now i have absolutely no way to get back at him or the rest of humanity. How am i conscious i have no idea.
After 7 days.
Today i was able to open my eyes. But it was still dark. From the moment i opened my eyes, I knew i was alive. When i looked around i spotted walls all around be in a spherical shape and i also felt that i was submerged in some liquid and i was able to guess that i have reincarnated into some bird or a lizard. I was filled with hope, even if i was corn as some bird or a little lizard i now have a chance to get back at him even if i have to die i wIll kill that traitor.
Another 14 days after.
It's been 2 weeks and i am now big enough to touch the shell of my egg. I reach out to push the outer wall but i was not strong enough. I didn't give up and used my legs and i caused a little crack on the wall, rejoiced i put more strength and with a huge crack the egg split open in half. I looked at myself and sighed i am a little lizard, well I will kill you even if i have to die again, Zach. There are a lot of eggs like mine around and many lizards in different colors.
All of them are walking past my and i thought the money my new lizard mother is there. I turn around and there she is my new mother. The only thing is rather than just a lizard she looks more like a
GIANT, FLYING, FIRE BREATHING LIZARD.
A dragon
My mother is a dragon, the shock only lasted a minute. Why because my anger came back, if my mother is a dragon that means as long as i work hard and follow my mother's training properly i have the potential to become a dragon. You guys should know, not all of would become a dragon. Dragons are born as a tiny lizardling the only difference it has with the regular lizardling that that's from the lizardmen tribe and the lizardling from s dragon is that these have two horns. We must train and meet the requirements to become little wyrm, only then will our mother will even barely consider us her offsprings and for her to truly accepts as her sons and daughters we must become strong enough to satisfy her.
Being just a dragon is not enough, i must become the strongest dragon to even stand a chance against a single country. I look at my mother, she is sleeping and she is already 200 times your height if she stood up she will even reach 500 times our height. I think she heard the eggs hatching, she is getting up. She looks at us with a cold and indifferent gaze. I bet she would not care if anyone of us dies right now, we are nothing to her until we become a dragon.
She throws a big piece of meat at us, it was as big as her legs. We were all very hungry and so we rushed to the meat and started eating. There was a total of 10 of us if i include myself and the meat could last a whole week. After eating we were ready to sleep when we heard our mother roaring and started walking outside. We could tell that she wanted us to follow i tried to keep myself awake and started following her we walked for miles but our mother never helped us in any way. When i left only 5 of us were willing to follow mother the other five did not listen and went to sleep. On the way, one could not follow anymore and went back heading straight to the cave we were in. It was hard and really painful i felt like my entire body was being bitten by thousands of ants and i could feel my bones break but i continued until the end. At the end of our hardcore hike was a cave 10`s of times bigger than the last one and could actually serve my huge mother as a cave rather than the last which she could barely fit into.
After we went inside she looked at us four satisfied with our result. She took out a piece of meat from inside just as big as the last one and dropped it, clearly indicating that it`s for us. We rushed and started eating. I noticed that i myself and my other brothers were eating more than last time so much that we finished the entire piece before feeling satisfied. It must be because of all the workout. Right after I finished eating and got ready to sleep a screen came up in front of me.
Today you have leveled up 5 times.

I was surprised, not that i never saw it all humans can see this it was a part of this world and you can see your Lvl, stats, classes and other staffers like this. I was simply surprised because we never thought that animals have it too.
I don't know what the ancient true means but whatever.
I thought about the points for a while and decided to put 5 points into strength, endurance, and intelligence as well as the remaining 10 points into agility. After i tried to call the screen up by thinking inside my mind

And it worked.

It looks like endurance will increase hp by 10 each point and intelligence will increase mp by 10 each point. After looking at the screen for a bit i went straight to sleep.
…..
Next morning we all woke up at almost the same time and it from the sun i could say it should be about 10 am. We saw a piece of meat in front of us and so we all went ahead and started eating until it's finished. I noticed that we a bit bigger than before but i could also feel that we are a lot stronger too, must be because we leveled up yesterday.
Today she took us on another walk on a much longer path and at a much faster pace and at the end of the day it was still just as painful. Like this 2 weeks pass. In these 2 weeks, we did all kinds of training from those ridiculous hikes to reaction speed training with these huge bees, oh and i found that if you focus on a creature you can look at their level. Those bees were all Lvl 2 and we had 10’s chantings us. Also when i tried to see mothers level i saw this “?” i suppose she is too strong. So like this, we did basic training over and over again these 2 weeks and now my stats looks like this.

Oh, i got pain resistance from all the workout and also from the bee stings, man they are multiple times more painful than the normal bees. I got pierce resistance from the bees too.
I Am level 25 now but 2 of my brothers are only level 18 and the other is only level 15. I saw that mother was quite satisfied with me. Today she gives my other 3 brothers a free day and asked me to follow her(yes we can speak dragon language now, i suppose dragons can learn pretty fast.).
Where are we going.(me)
To a place where you will take a test.(mother)
A test?(me)
Yes, a test which if you pass. I will consider you as my son.(mother)
I was so happy i was getting closer. To becoming her true son. Being an orphan in my last life i was excited to finally have the chance to have a family, but i have to work hard. Only when i become a dragon will i truly became her son.
We went deep into the forest a lot more so than normal. After a while, we came to grassy part with no trees. Mother told me to stay there for a while and left. After about 10 minutes she came flying and on her legs was a wolf, not just any wolf a level 200 wolf emperor. She throws him on the ground, it was unconscious. She looks at me and says.
This is your test, when he wakes up you will fight him in a death match. (mother)
I was startled.
But, he is a level 200 wolf emperor i am just a Dragonic lizardling. It's true that dragons can fight against other beings that are higher in level in them but i am just a dragonic lizardling and have not even become a wyrm yet. (me)
Hump. You though we are one of those lesser dragons. Listen well, we are from one of the only 5 ancient true dragon clan, the abaddon clan. Let me teach you, there are 3 different grades of dragons. First the most common grade the lesser dragons. Even though they are the weakest they are already superior to most lifeforms. The there are true dragon they are mostly live in the middle of this continent and never bother going to the south because the south is mostly occupied by the weaker monsters and mostly ruled by humans and demons and some by elves, beastmen, and other demihumans. They are so weak that they could not even get past the great forest and make it to the middle of the continent so they never knew true dragons existed. True dragons are 100’s of times stronger than the lesser dragons but the humans and the rest of humanoid species that rule the south could not even come close to killing the lesser dragons. In their entire history, they should have only killed 5 lesser dragons at most and even that took millions of their lives.
True dragons also don't go to the north either but this is because of us, the third and the highest tier of dragons the ancient true dragons. We are the first dragons ever to came into existence and also strongest and we are 10’s of 1000’s of times stronger than the true dragons. Our race is old the oldest so old that we are not created by gods but like the primal gods came into existence through nature and created even before them, we can get so strong that the strongest of us who gained immortality could even consider god's weak. We live in the north and don't allow any other dragons of lower grade entering.
So remember you are an ancient true dragonic lizardling every one of your stat points represent 5 times that of the regular species when you become a wyrm it will be 20 times and when you become a dragon it’s 100 times.(mother)
I was amazed and excited.
But still level 200 is too much, even if my stats represents 5 times of the regular stats I am only equivalent to level 125.(me)
That's why this is a test.(mother)
Guru.
The wolf slowly wakes up as I get ready for battle.
Little wolfie if you can kill him I will let you go.(mother)
The wolf emperor who was terrified of mother looks at me who is being pointed by mother. A confident smile comes across his face as he looks at the level 25 baby lizardling. My mom goes to a nearby cliff to watch the show.
The wolf looks at me and grins.
The second after my mother sit down on the cliff he jumps at me. He was fast so fast that I almost could not dodge him. The wolf was also surprised he did not think that a level 25 lizardling could dodge his attack. I mostly used my points on speed and it is definitely surpassed the wolf although it also specializes in speed and agility. The wolf got serious after my dodge, it seems’s to have guessed that I am not someone it should underestimate.
Its fangs grew longer and his body grew larger, he was already more than double my size but now he is huge. Soon his whole turned into mettle and gasped “magic” I did know that high-level monsters could learn magic but I forgot and didn’t expect. I leaped and struck at him but there was not a scratch on him.
I got scared if I could not damage him I will never kill him. And he was fast I can't keep running forever. He suddenly attacked catching me off guard and swiped his claws strengthened by steel magic. He attacked my front right leg, and my outer skin was cut off easily as a hot knife would through butter revving my bones. Losing one of my legs I was at a complete disadvantage.
Its then that I felt my blood boiling I was being filled with rage. I felt that I was getting bigger and stronger, Suddenly I also gained access to something really useful, it must be because of this life and death situation that it awakened and that was my dragon instincts.
