Hatching

After getting used to his new body while inside the egg, he realized that he would need to try to break out of his confines. He used his newly acquired front limbs and started to bash the egg, almost immediately small cracks started appearing on the shell. 

He kept hitting the shell and piece by piece the shell started breaking as light began to appear in the egg. 

After continuous effort the egg fully cracked as he finally saw his surroundings. He looked around and was confused as he only saw a white scaly wall in front of him. 

"Is the cave I'm in fully closed off?" He tried to speak but only squeaks came out of his maw. When he started to squeak, the scaly wall in front of him began to slowly move as the cave started to shake. 

The wall now identified as a living being took the shape of a creature that the man knew very well. A being of unmatched power and a strong reputation as well.

The man looked shocked as he realized what he was born as, the legendary race known as Dragons. He looked at the dragon in front of him and knew instinctually that this was his mother, his mother was now looking directly in his eyes as if she was waiting for something.

As she was looking at him, a huge amount of information invaded his brain, he could only assume was his dragons inheritance. After all the information was absorbed, he looked at his mother and spoke his true name.

"Goliath Abeloth Eldrax."

The dragon mother seemed pleased with his true name and laid down and took another nap, creating a miniature earthquake in the process.

After waiting for his mother to go to sleep, he started to wobble around the cave trying to practice walking, in the meanwhile he was observing how big the cave was. After making some estimations, the ceiling height was around 200 feet tall, and the circumference of the cave was almost 800 feet from edge to edge.

His mother took almost the entire size of the cave, leaving only a small portion for her eggs to incubate. 

A nearby crunching made the man lose his focus on his mother and turn around to face the clutch of eggs, and see that one of his siblings was trying to leave its egg. 

He walked over towards the pile and saw the remains of his own egg, and with his knowledge of novels in his past life decided to try and eat the shell. 

*gulp* 

His teeth which resembled daggers made eating the hard shell almost like eating tofu, very soft and chewy. He thought the taste of the shell wouldn't be any good, but it almost tasted something like bacon.

As he finished up his little feast, he thought to himself that this was a new world, and that he couldn't stay attached to things from his past life or it would drag him down.

He decided to adopt the name given to him in his new life, and his new identity as a powerful dragon.

"Goliath seems a little too out of place, I think Abeloth would suit me just fine." As he decided his new name, he turned his head and looked as his sibling slowly exited the egg and immediately started to eat her eggshell. 

Abeloth was surprised to see how small the dragoness was compared to him, he saw the sizes of the eggs, but just assumed that his was mostly egg goo. But he realized he took up every nook and cranny of the egg.

As he was thinking to himself, two more of his siblings started to claw themselves out of their eggshells. There were three eggs in total, not including his. one belonged to his sister, and the other two belonged to his little brothers.

He ignored them and waltzed to where his egg was placed and laid down and went through his draconic inheritance.

{POV SWITCH 1ST PERSON}

This world, or should I say multiverse is very unique, i think god twisted this place a little too much.

There were multiple different paths to gain power, separated by race. The two main factions of race, were the monsters, and the humanoids. 

Humanoids were humans, obviously. Elves, dwarfs, demons, dragonborn, etc. all races that had intelligence and had emotions.

Monsters had a much wider range of options. From Dragons, which had intellect surpassing most if not all of humanoids, to goblins and kobolds, which were some of the weakest being in the multiverse. 

The two main ways to gain power are to be a cultivator or a mage. There are many subvariants of these two, but they are the base of all forms of power.

Cultivator and mage are self explicit, but for the uncultured folk it basically just means taking the energy of the universe putting it into your body and claiming it as yours. Except cultivators nourish their bodies purely. While Mages purely nourish their souls, minds, and cores.

Monsters are the only beings capable of nourishing both body and soul, as said areas are much more resilient to the energies of the universe than humanoids. There are very few cases of Humanoids practicing both cultivation and mage hood. But it isn't unheard of.

The ranks of cultivators and mages are as follows.

Worldly

Bronze - silver - gold - black gold - diamond - obsidian - black steel - titanium - adamantine - Mythril

Heavenly

Count - Duke - King - Emperor - Sovereign - monarch 

Once you enter the heavenly tier of power you are eligible to compete for kingship of these. Count is a country. Duke is a Continent. King is a planet. Emperor has several planets. Sovereign is a galaxy, and monarch is a universe or several galaxies(depends on strength)

The population in the universe that I'm currently in is in the google range (100 zeroes - higher)

After combing through the mind rape that was my inheritance, I finally came to a realization that I was fucked unless I became strong. There are beings capable of literally destroying galaxies with a sneeze. Saitama and Goku beware.

I might as well try to gather this so called universal energy, and see if I can get stronger before I get annihilated by some god who has a cold.

I tried to sit as cross legged as a dragon could before I started to try and sense the area around me. A few seconds went by and I didn't feel anything. A minute went by and all of a sudden, I could see everything. It was like a flower bloomed before my eyes. I could colors that weren't accessible to the human eye. It was like a magical kaleidoscope.

I moved my claws to try and touch the floating light particles, but they went straight through them. After trying a few more times and failing, I decided to try and absorb them. I imagined a vacuum and urged myself to absorb the balls of power. Through instinct the orbs slowly gravitated to me and phased into my skin and nurtured both my body and soul equally.

I tried to look at myself through my senses and it worked, although it felt very weird, my body slowly started to grow in size until it reached around 30 feet in length and 10 feet in height. My scales hardening to the same hardness as diamonds. My dagger like teeth grew longer and a bit more curved with serrations on the edges, so if i bit something it wouldn't get out easily. My claws were longer than my fangs but much more curved, made for slashing and grabbing, around a foot long for each one. 

I just noticed that I was black with a lighter shade of grey, almost in a skeleton like pattern, but much more menacing. My eyes were a unnaturally bright purple that seemed to glow like a lantern. In the cracks between my scales, my body glowed like lava in a purple the same hue as my eyes.

All in all a beautiful but menacing dragon baby that could probably raze a town to the ground at one day old. 

The colors of my body were no where near the same as my mother, but it was normal as the color of dragons are random most times, unless both parents are the same color, in which the dominant gene is said color. 

And from my inheritance my milk getter was a pitch black color, almost as dark as me. I'm very happy with how my dragon form turned out.

After checking myself out I tried to do a dragons signature breath attack. So I gathered the red colored mana inside of me which I assumed was fire, and gathered it in a organ near the base of my throat which looked almost like a sac. As the mana gathered there, I felt a strange pressure that didn't feel bad. But almost like I was bloated, as I stopped holding the organ back, I could feel the warm flames rush out of my throat into the surrounding air. 

A pillar of flame rushed out of me like a jet and didn't seem like it would stop anytime soon without my consent. It felt like I had infinite mana, as my reserves felt like they weren't even being used. I tried pushing more mana into my breath and the fire took on a bright blue hue. I kept pushing more and more mana, until the flame turned a sickly green. 

I decided that wasn't enough as I pushed myself harder and finally felt my reserves go down slightly as my flame turned into a haunting purple just the same color I was. The stone floor and walls near me had long turn into liquid rock and formed a puddle until it turned into ash. But once the flame turned purple, the ashes burned into nothingness. Wherever the flames touched, nothing was left. Not even the air, as a vacuum formed and air rushed to fill in the empty space.

I stopped supplying mana and my breath attack ceased to exist. The walls told a story as it was permanently damaged. and the edges where the flames just barely didn't touch were turned into liquid and slid down the walls to fill in a mini rock puddle.

I decided to call it quits for today and rest as I felt a little exerted from the test. 

The second I closed my eyes and began to drift off, I felt my limitless reserves grow a little and my body and soul begin to grow stronger.
