Slowly, I came back to my senses. The first thing I did was check on Alsvartr. Fortunately, she seemed to be fine. In fact, apparently, I had been unconscious for a much longer time than my familiar. I knew this because she was flying back home. Since there was no immediate need for her in the city, I instead asked her to follow the path Einvaldskonungr had taken. Hopefully, since the red dragon was injured, she might be able to catch up with him this time.

While she was doing that, I examined my body. Light blue sigils still adorned my wings and tail while golden sigils were glowing on my body and legs. Surprisingly, the sigils actually didn’t detract from my handsomeness. In fact, the sigils somehow enhanced my attractiveness. I wouldn’t have thought that was possible. What confused me was that I felt the glowing sigils were still full of potential power that were just waiting to be released. Hurriedly, I pulled up my information sheet.

I don’t know which bothered me more, the fact that the information was displayed completely differently or the fact that there were so many changes that I had to decipher. Hopefully, the system would give me more information about the new details. Although I was worried about the notification that told me that if I didn’t create a divine body, I would die, there wasn’t much I could do about it at the moment, Because of that, I focused on my information sheet.

The first change was that I had access to the Death Domain as well as the Twilight Domain. One of the benefits of the Twilight Domain was that I learned extra spells. After glancing down at the spell list, I noticed a few additional spells related to death. Nodding to myself, I then went to the next detail.

I had a few divine powers, which were pretty straight forward. The only question was the effectiveness of the abilities. How big and how much damage could the Death Aura give? As for Regeneration, just how much was regenerated, and how quickly? Both of those would be easy to test, so I would worry about them later. As for Body of Twilight, it had changed from a domain power to a divine power.

Anyway, there really wasn’t anything I could do about it at the moment anyway. Despite having a sword of Damocles hanging over my head, I had to smile at seeing my new attributes. I had known something was happening when my body was being reshaped. Apparently, both Strength and Constitution had improved yet again. While I was extremely happy with the physical changes already, when I saw my speed and health points, I couldn’t suppress a squeal of delight.

Now I truly felt superhuman. Not only was I a fast-growing protagonist, but I was even more overpowered than before. I had literally become a god, or at least a demigod. While I wasn’t certain, I had a nagging suspicion that the system had something to do with my ascension to a new state of being.

In fact, the system was being extra generous by letting me decide where to spend an attribute point. I didn’t see it until I concentrated on the attributes. It was an invisible bonus point that could easily have been missed if I wasn’t paying attention. While I was tempted to place it into intelligence, I instead put it into dexterity.

I hated seeing the odd number among all the even attributes. Immediately after I spent the attribute point, a stinging pain started shooting through my body. Gritting my teeth, I endured the pain until it went away a few minutes later.

Besides that, there really weren't that many changes except for the resistances and immunities. After reading them, I realized just how different I had become. In just a few months, I had gone from an egg to a god. If I was a protagonist in one of those serialized novels that I used to read, I would have scoffed at such a rapid increase in the main character’s strength.

I would have taken that author aside and told him he was being an idiot. He needed to slow down with the character development. Making the main character too powerful too quickly wouldn't be realistic. However, my life wasn’t a novel, so I was more than happy to grow powerful after only a few months.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

There was one last thing on the information sheet that made me happy as well. After not leveling up for two months, I had finally gained enough experience to level up again. However, that meant it was also time to face my mortal enemy, decision making. I had to decide what class to level up in. It was too bad that I couldn’t use the experience points to level up my divine rank. I even tried to level up my divine rank with the faith points, but nothing happened.

Now that I was assured ninth level spells just because I was a dragon, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to continue investing in the wizard class. Although I loved the variety of spells I could learn at the lower levels, I knew that at the higher levels there weren’t nearly as many spells to choose from. While there were still a lot of them, I could probably use the Shape Magic feature and my draconic evolution to gain most of the spells I wanted to learn.

Of course, I still had no desire for any of the marital classes. I wanted to stick with the full spellcasting classes to really abuse the huge amount of spell points I possessed. Also, if I chose a martial class, the Shape Magic feature would lose its impact. If I stayed as a wizard, I would be able to freely choose between fourth level spells, which was quite nice. However, that was about the only immediate benefit. The next real benefits, besides being able to cast higher level spells, would come at the tenth and eighteenth levels

A level of cleric would open a lot of benefits, but so would some of the others. Since I was going to use the experience points to level up no matter what, I asked the system to display the available spellcasting classes to see if there were any changes since the last time I leveled up.

Choose one of the following classes:

* Banshee: Spellcasters who study various dangerous magics

* Dark Cleric: Evil spellcasters who serve dark gods

* Eldritch Mind: Spellcasters who use the power of the mind

* Ritualist: Ritual spellcasters attuned to black magic

* Unholy Theurgist: Evil spellcasters who strive for divinity

* Wizard - Twilight Theurgist: Arcane spellcasters with spellbooks

Although I should have been pleased that I narrowed down my choices, I also noticed that the draconic sorcerer option was gone. I could only conclude that was because I was an actual dragon now and was getting magic already by evolving. Again, I eliminated ritualist immediately.

As for the other spellcasting classes, the unholy theurgist seemed a lot like my current class, except cleric based instead of wizard based. Then again, it could be like a shaman. Either way, it also wasn’t for me. That left me with four choices. Nodding, I congratulated myself for narrowing things down.

I was actually very tempted to choose the dark cleric. I could be cleric of death since the old god of death was dead, and I had replaced him. In fact, that might be the ideal choice. However, I wasn’t really sure how it would actually benefit me more than the other three classes.

Banshee sounded like it was based on both sound and death. It also sounded as if it focused on foretelling the future since that was what a banshee did. Hearing a banshee scream at night was believed to foretell the death of a member of the family of the person who heard the spirit. That actually sounded like it would work well with my Soul Collector class feature. Although not directly powerful, it could provide strong support abilities.

The only one left was eldritch mind. Since I already possessed one level in that class, I sort of knew what to expect. I did have to admit that several features of the class were extremely powerful. In fact, those class features were overpowered if I wanted to compare it to the other classes. The only downside was that its features were heavily stacked in the first level. I doubted I would get another strong ability until I reached at least level six in that class. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to invest that many levels into eldritch mind.

Reluctantly, I grimaced and decided to scratch banshee off the list. While it did deal with spirits and death, I could probably learn similar skills after my divine rank increased. The same was also true for a cleric of death, therefore I eliminated dark cleric as well. That left me with two choices, eldritch mind and twilight theurge wizard.

Finally, after taking a deep breath, I made my decision. As soon as I made my selection, I muttered, “Gnome cookies.” I remembered too late what happened every time I leveled up. Memories and visions quickly overcame me as I fell to the ground.
