1 Everything Change Now!

Crio tried to open his eyes but he was not sure if it was open or not as he can see nothing no matter what he does. He tried to move his body but was also not sure if he was moving or not. He tried to speak but no words came out of his mouth.

Mmmmm

His head then started to hurt, even though he was not even sure why and how was he even feeling pain. A flash of memories then appeared in his mind, one scene after another.

He was an orphan at a very young age of five and had to survive alone from that moment on. Although he managed to live for another five years, he was only barely surviving every day.

He had to fight his hunger every day, endure the beatings that he would always receive from the local bullies and had to lower his pride so he can survive, not like he had any.

Crio can vaguely remember that he had just received his payment from a job he took which paid him a good salary. Just as he was just about to buy some food to eat, the back of his neck was hit with something hard as he felt a wet sensation on his back and then lost his consciousness.

'Did I died?' He thought to himself.

Mmmmmm

All that he can hear right now was what it seems like to be a vibrating sound that came from somewhere he wasn't aware of. He tried looking around him, hoping to see even just a small peck of light, but he was bound to be disappointed.

During his years of living alone, Crio had developed a good mentality of being calm and patient. So he was not the least bit panic when he discovered the strange situation he was in, but instead, he was quite happy as he can now finally have peace.

That was what all he wanted, Crio had already enough living barely every day, there were numerous times when he wanted to kill himself but stopped as he won't know what would his parents think of him when they knew that he just killed himself.

He tried no to look for a way to survive but he just can't stay still as he feels like he was burned in hell if he did so.

So he tried to work hard to live and now he died because of some bastard lusting over the small money he had.

Mmmmmm

Crio heard the vibrating sound once again, but it was no use looking around as he can't see anything. So he remained unmoving, not wanting to waste any more of his energy if he had one into useless things and decided to just enjoy the peace of the afterlife.

As Crio was enjoying the peace, his body started to glow brilliantly without him noticing as if he was not affected by the light.

The light lit so brilliantly that it was very hard to look at it directly. Several ancient runes then started to appear out of nowhere and began to rotate around Crio who was completely unaware of all of this.

At the other side of the black space, just beside Crio, a small ball started to form as it slowly got bigger and bigger until it was already a size of a large mountain and was still growing.

The Ancient runes rotating around Crio stopped as it all aimed towards Crio's body. And completely at the same time, all entered his body.

This time, Crio finally had a reaction as he felt great pain all over his body when all the Ancient rums entered his body. He didn't have the time to think about where the Ancient runes came from as he was pretty busy enduring the pain he was feeling.

But this can't be compared to the pain he had gone through all these years. Slowly after that, the pain started to lessen as he regains control over his body.

Crio had no idea what had just happened to himself when suddenly, the black space around him started to rotate until he woke up to find himself on the ground at some part o the forest.

Crio then looked at these clothes and can clearly see that it was covered in blood, which means that he really had a wound. He touched the nape of his neck and can feel that there was a scar which made him confirm his thoughts.

"I didn't die." Was all he thought.

It was at that time that memories of some sort of ability appeared in his mind which really surprised him. It was not one of the known magic in the world as it looks completely different.

He then suddenly remembered that this was the day that he was always hoping for. To awaken an ability even if it was trash just so he can eat food three times a day. For others, this might be a very low dream but someone who hadn't experience what he had been through will never understand his pain.

The name of these so-called abilities that he received was quite strange as their name was; [Dragon Body] [Dragon Eyes] [Dragon Aura] [Dragon Claw].

Dragon Body: Will allow him to refine his body to make it stronger, faster, and indestructible similar to that of a Dragon.

Dragon Eyes: The eye of the dragon can see through everything. Nothing can be hidden from it.

Dragon Aura: Dragon is known for prideful and domineering creatures. They are the best when showing off their strength even with just their pressure.

Dragon Claw: The most trusted weapon of the dragons is their claw. Because it is sharp, hard, and easy to use as this was already part of their body.

After all of that, another thing that caught his attention was the planet which was getting created in his inner self without him realizing anything about it.

Looking at the abilities he received, Crio was already more than happy to have it as he slowly stood up and went deeper inside the forest.

The forest's name the Death Forest and it was named because everyone who entered at its deepest region ends up not returning and possibly have died.

Crio knows about this but he still went, not because he was committing suicide but it was his newfound determination. With these abilities on his hands right now, Crio was confident this time that he will finally be able to live a happy life.
