Chapter 2: Ouroboros

Before walking into the forest I remember that I have forgotten to see my leviathan form so I go back near the water and transform,after willing it I found myself growing and enlarging,my legs disappeared and in their place a tail appeared, and in little time transformed.

Fromwhat I can see I instinctively know how to move and use this form without any discomfort and when I saw my body I thought that it was really majestic.i was at least 80 metres in length and 8 metres wide,unlike my human appearance both of my eyes where blue with a tint of violet at the center,my scales were blue and while my body resembled that of a snake my head reminded me of a dragon more then a snake. I had two arms, with claw-like hands at the end with 3 fingers. They each were 10 meter long from shoulder to finger, and the claws looked extremely sharp.

I casually stomped on a three and it broke with no effort,I must weight at least 100 tons or something...

I tried the form a little longer,coiling around myself, control my tail and from what I can see I can open my mouth wide enough to to eat a ship.

I transformed back to human and started walking away while making a mental note to buy clothes that don't break when i transform.

While walking I had a sudden idea "..questions?"and like always the voice instantly replied to me "...do..have..status> ....note 2, learn how to talk like a normal person and talk with the system with the mind while I am at it; while having those stupid but not-so stupids ideas the voice answered me back,

Wow,this information is.. interesting, so in few words all people have the game system but those that aren't in a Rpg universe can't see it but at the same time they uncousciusly obtain benefit from it? stopping thinking about the mysteries of the universes and the system I open my status and remain dumbfounded at the number of titles and perks that I have

Name: Tiamat Carxlar Level : [LOCCKED] Race: Human (leviathan bloodline mixed-unmpure) Age : ?? Class: [LOCKED] Subclass: [LOCKED] Titles: Otherworldly Beauty, Yin Empress, Monster in human skin, User, Sadic, Freak, Tyrant of the abyss, Immortal, Named by the Gods, Umbound, Anomaly. System:Inactive Perks: Yin's Primordial Empress Constitution, Mixed Bloodline, Body of pleasure, Bloodline hated by the gods  

I am really curious about all the titles and their effect but I decide to satiate my curiosity  only when I'm strong enough to  leave this island,with this I have an even stronger motivation.But i must admit that i find  the leviathan form exremely comfortable, like that was my true form, must have something to do with my name, and titles, after all tiamat is the Mother of All and Goddess the Oceans  in Babylonian religion and she is depicted like a leviathan most of the times.

Finally I start walking towards the forest in search of my first prey and after some hours I find a .... Centaur wolf??It has the corpse of a wolf but the legs of a horse.I try to sneak and try a one shot kill but the wolf seem to have found me before I move, probably with his nose...wait is it because I stink??While I was having this conversation with myself the wolf launch at me with breathtaking speed and in less than a second is already in front of me,I instinctually evade it's law and transform my arm making a thin layer of blue and violet scale appear on my arms and now claw-like hand.I try to attack hit in the head but he evade and try to break my neck with his maw, I punch his chin while in air and use my other hand to pierce his body where his hearth should be but I found something hard where his hearth should be and I separate from his body while keeping the...stone in my hand.The wolf collapse and seem dead so I think that what I picked was the so called monster core and it's situated where the hearth should be.

'how should I absorb this?'

Doing like the voice said I eat it and I must say that it thasted pretty good but I can't understand what taste it have,and if this was only a third rate soul than what taste will first class soul have?While starting to question my taste the timely voice speak in my head; I don't know of it's supposed to be good or not but I'll find out but for now I'm sure that what await me is a good training regime and I must become stronger to conquer this island and the thing that I need the most is technique, I have power but I lack technique and I don't want to rely only on my Instinct to win like I have done this time and want to awaken my devil fruit, it seems that my first targets are all the monster on this island, but wait am I not a monster too??

WHILE HAVING SUCH A THOUGHT IN MIND OUR HEROINE WALK INTO THE UNKNOWN,NOT AWARE OF THE DANGERS THAT ARE LURKING IN THE FOREST WITH CHEAT POWER TO START HER TRAINING TO LEARN HOW TO USE HER POWER 'EFFICIENTLY' AND WHAT WILL BE THE FIRST CONQUEST OF MANY OTHERS..

----------------------------------------

Time skip 2 years

I locked back at the once paradisiac island 'not so much with monsters trying to kill you every time and everywhere',now a deserted land filled with broken trees and holes in the ground where ever you look.        It's finally time to leave behind this island that I started calling home.

During those 2 years I spent most of my time fighting monster and try my abilities to find more potential in them, most of my soul essence was spent on knowledge of common sense and basic understanding of all skills that one needs to have to survive plus some extra but after the first year I started to collect all soul essence without spending it so that I can have a little present when I will be leaving,that it's now since I killed everything I could find and even the strongest monster became small fry for me in these 2 years.

With my training regime I recently awakened my fruit and now my leviathan form look even more majestic.I have 4 Bat like wings that let me fly freely without inconvenience (I can also grow them on my back with semi-transformation)and my scales now have a tint of purple and black, I obtained the power to change size of my form, yes size, because while I was eating souls and monsters here and there my leviathan form continued to grow so now I can change size from my biggest form, that I'm sure will continue to grow, to becoming as small as a person; even if it seems big my 'normal' form is 160 metres or something so even if is an extra and not necessary  it can be useful sometime.As for other abilities that I obtained from the fruit I don't know because I'm waiting to do the last shopping session before seeing my status.

As for my humanoid aspect,It didn't change if not for my expression that become even more icy when I'm indifferent,but for some strange reason when I'm angry I look... cute, so I can like cute things but not in a romantic way??Good to know and yes I become a bit... narcissistic but if you are the only thing close to human and have are Otherworldly beauty it can appen 'yes sure,just like you can gain a voice in your head by practicing how to talk normally alone'...I was saying that I'm not lost in my narcism, I only admire my beauty and i think that it will be fun to destroy some kingdom here and there manipulating people with only my beauty so maybe that cliche phrase 'beuty that can destroy kingdom' that is written like it's a ticket in a fortune cookie can be useful for once, but now let's stop thinking of my possible insanity and madness.

As for my training, i mastered all technique that i could and have a basic understanding of all things with the knowledge I bought with my precious SE....yes I bought the basic understanding of nearly everything that could seem useful in a way or another;as for magic and cultivation, even if I know how they work I didn't try to learn them yet apart from purifying my mana sometimes between my break because I wanted to perfectly master my body and ability that bring me to my self-created martial art 'Snake's Hearth' that let me take full advantage of my flexibility and speed in the 'deadly venom's form that is for assassination, is let me use the force of my enemy Vs him in the 'sleeping dragon's form and one that let me utilize both of them at the maximum potential 'leviathan ascension' and not even I know how I created a technique like this, probably something to do with one of my titles.I plan on moving with a boat so that I can cultivate during my trip to the nearest kingdom that is also one of the strongest, the phoenix kingdom that has 2 Clan and 3 sect,yes sect and Clan, this world is totally Chinese, not that it's a problem if not for the fact that I will never be able to remember the name of the people and I will have to cook biscuits if I want some of them but now is time for the last shopping.

I thought 'open list' and saw the amount of soul essence that I have...220.000 soul essence,I select body upgrade and buy the ability to eat another devil fruit for 10.000 soul essence, now I go to the list of the devil fruits and scroll down the list to find the fruit that I was waiting to have since I discovered it, the Ouroboros fruit,I selected it and read the description

I wait a second to be sure that I will not regret my choice and then click yes,even though it's one of the most expensive fruit it's also dangerous because I don't know its effect but if my guess is right this devil fruit is the cheat of the cheats so even if it's a bet I am more than willing to buy it, but whatever effect it has it should be good, the only regret that I will have is having spent all this point in one fruit. Making up my mind I buy it and instantly a strange black and white fruit appear in my hand and I eat it; expecting to taste something terrible I prepare myself but I become shocked when I find out that this fruit taste...pretty good, probably one of the best things that I have eaten but while I was thinking this a sudden terryfing pain spread through all my body and since I wasn't prepared for it and it came too fast I fainted on the spot.
