The First Dragon God

Leo and Ves could be seen seated on the dining table, having a meal.

As Leo ate, he curiously decided to check his stat screen. He called it up and he froze when he saw the figures being displayed on it.

[Name: Leo ****]

[Level: 9]

[Specie(s): Human, ****, ****]

[Class: –]

[Title: None]

______

[Strength: 19]

[Agility: 19 (+15)]

[Intelligence: 13]

[Mana: 100]

______

[Stat Point(s): 12]

______

[Skill(s): Regeneration (Innate).]

'Level 9... Nice. I went up four levels. Not bad'

Leo felt that the rate at which he was improving and getting stronger was quite fast but he still wasn't satisfied. Though he was very much aware that he can't just become extremely strong in a single day or short period of time, but he wants to be strong enough that even more of the Boar comes, he would be able to face them comfortably.

The way he felt almost powerless in the fight with the Mutant Boar was something he never want to experience again.

'It seems I have to clear out the building fast and go hunting outside,' he thought to himself.

I should use my free stat points immediately. No use keeping them.'

He immediately distributed his free stat points, equally between his Strength, Agility and Stamina.

After using up his free stat points, Leo's attributes experience a huge boost and he felt the same sensation of getting stronger.

After he was done with that, he decided to satiate his curiosity and check his [Regeneration] skill to know the reason why his healing speed was so fast—alledgedly.

It's something that he has never been curious about but the situation calls for it. He wants some explanation.

Thinking of how to get the answers he wanted, he focused his attention on it and the next moment, his familiar stat screen was replaced by another screen, displaying the full information of his [Regeneration] skill.

_______

[Regeneration] (Innate) (Unique)

Type: Passive/Active

Mana Cost:

Passive: 10 MP/minute

Active: 50 MP Cooldown (Active Use): 10 minutes.

Description: A unique skill derived from the traits of two very powerful race

The skill grants accelerated healing and regeneration capabilities. In its passive form, it restores the user's physical injuries and ailments at a rate significantly faster than a normal life form. In its active form, it can regenerate critical damage, restore lost limbs, and heal internal injuries at the cost of mana and stamina.

Overhealing excess damage can temporarily enhance physical stats (e.g., strength, stamina).

Unique Feature: Enhanced adaptability: Regenerates stronger tissues over time (e.g., bones become denser, muscles more elastic) based on previous injuries.

[Additional Note: The user's life force affects the potency of this skill.]

Leo didn't know how to respond when he saw the description of the skill. He thought that the skill was just something that was sitting duck there, but now that he read its description, he knew that it was very powerful skill.

Though it's not an offensive or defensive skill but what the skill can do is something skills in both categories would never be able to achieve.

Healing lost limbs and organs? That was beyond amazing! Though it would cost a significant amount of mana points and stamina points but to Leo, it's a very small price to pay for the effects that the skill would achieve.

To Leo, this was like having something of an extra life of some sort. As long as he isn't dead and have enough Mana, and Stamina points, he can heal and return to his peak form.

And not only that, the skill also has a unique feature, enhanced adaptability. A feature that would make sure to make the injured tissue stronger than it previously was.

This means with time, his body might become so strong that he won't have to worry about getting injured. If that doesn't make the skill powerful, then Leo has no idea what else will.

Though Leo has some questions. From the skill description, he read that skill was derived from two very powerful races and it got him curious about the origin of the skill.

From what he knew, the second voice he heard that day that had a vague sense of familiarity to it, has no connection to the voice that accompanys their stats screen.

If that was so, then it was probably something unique to him alone. This got him even more curious about his actual identity and that of his parents.

He remembered Tatiana saying something the two most powerful races in the universe and thinking about the two very powerful races that was in his skill's description, Leo felt that there might be a connection.

'What connection could there possibly be?' Leo scoffed.

'Even though I might be special as Tatiana said, linking my identity to the two most powerful races in the universe is going above and beyond. Though I'm curious about the life force part and I'm also curious about why everything I've seen so far is one way or the other related to it's.' Leo murmured in a curious tone.

He was curious about a lot of things and has a lot of questions that needs answers, but since Tatiana isn't around, he would have wait.

Now that Leo has gotten an explanation for why his injuries was able to heal so fast, he decided to focus his attention on other things. And one of them being the most important at the moment, taking care of the Mutant Boar's carcass.

He didn't know if Ms Ves was already taking care of it and he decided to ask.

"Ms Ves," he called out to her.

Ves, who was seated at the other end of the table, having her meal, raised her head and looked at Leo, curious to know why he called her.

"Yes."

"What do you think we should do with the monster's body? If we leave it there, it would bring more problems for us. If something like that appear here, then it means that other wild animals like it can.

And with the commotion that the fight caused and the blood from its injury, they might already be around," Leo said, as he continued eating his food.

"About that, you don't need to worry. It's already being taken care of by the bjew group," Ves responded, and lowered her head, contemplating if she's to tell Leo about the wolf pack.

She was very conflicted on what to do. Should she tell him about it? Or should she not?

She was very sure about what his reaction would be if she does tell him—he would want to fight them and it's for this reason that she doesn't want to tell him.

It hasn't been long since the very dangerous battle with the Mutant Boar that left him heavily injured. Even though he has recovered and he's back in perfect shape, thrusting him into another battle and one that looks like it's going to be even more dangerous than the last, is something she isn't willing to do.

Ves couldn't help but grip her fork tightly when she thought of putting Leo in danger again.

But she was also aware of how dangerous not telling Leo about the wolf pack is.

Ves knew that there was nothing else she could do but to let Leo know—even if she doesn't want to.

'If only I was stronger. If only I was strong enough, he wouldn't have to put himself in danger to protect those who are supposed to be the adults.' She smiled wryly.

Just as she was about to tell Leo about the wolf pack when they heard a bloodcurdling scream.

Ves froze and immediately looked towards the source of the scream and her face went pale.

"Oh no, they are here," she said, as she immediately stood up from her seat.

"Who is 'they'?" Leo, who was already standing on his feet, asked curiously.

"More monsters."
