Awakening Abilities and Unexpected Companions

"This system thing is like a video game. Let's see my skills," Zaire thought to himself. "Skills," he said aloud.

A new page appeared before him, listing all his abilities. He had seven passive skills and five active skills.

[Passive skill: Dragon's Essence and the active skill: Life Force Surge.]

[passive skill: Eggshell Barrier and the active skill: Eggshell Reinforcement.]

[passive skill: Dragonkin's Intuition and the active skill: Eggshell Restoration.]

[Passive Skill: Draconic Resilience, Aura Sensitivity and the active skill: Combine.]

[Passive skill: Magical Perception and the active skill: Life Force Absorption.]

[Passive skill: Dragon's Cry.]

"These are all my skills? What are passive skills and active skills?" Zaire wondered.

The screen changed, displaying explanations.

"Passive skills are special abilities that are always active, providing continuous benefits without the need for activation. Active skills, on the other hand, require activation and consume more aura when used," the system explained.

"I think I understand... somewhat," Zaire murmured to himself.

Curious, he decided to ask the system for a full explanation of all his skills.

"System, could you explain all my skills for me?" Zaire requested.

The screen changed once again, displaying detailed descriptions for each of his skills:

[Dragon's Essence: Grants the innate strength and essence of a dragon, increasing physical and magical resistance.]

[Eggshell Barrier: The thick eggshell provides natural protection, reducing damage taken from physical attacks]

[Dragonkin's Intuition: Enhanced senses, allowing the dragon to sense danger or potential threats even while in its egg.]

[Life Force Absorption: Gently absorbs nutrients from the surrounding environment, aiding in the dragon's growth within the egg.]

[Eggshell Reinforcement: Temporarily strengthens the eggshell, increasing its durability against attacks.]

[Dragon's Cry: Emits a resonating cry that can either call for help or deter potential threats.]

[Magical Perception: Allows the dragon to sense and identify magical energies or spells in its vicinity. ]

[Life Force Surge: Temporarily boosts the absorption rate of nutrients and magical energy, accelerating growth.]

[Eggshell Restoration: Heals minor cracks or damage to the eggshell, restoring its protective capabilities.]

[Draconic Resilience: Provides enhanced physical and magical resilience, allowing it's user to withstand various forms of damage and adversity.]

[Aura Sensitivity: Heightens sensitivity to aura, allowing it's user to detect subtle changes and fluctuations in the environment, as well as the presence of other beings.]

[Combine: This skill allows it's user to combine the effects of multiple skills, enhancing their overall effectiveness or creating new synergies. It requires precise control and manipulation of aura to execute successfully.]

The system screen closed, and Zaire looked outside to see the bear still there. He glanced around the hole he was in and realized it was deeper than he thought, filled with Turbo Riot crystals. He got up and placed his hand on a Turbo Riot crystal, activating Life Force Absorption.

The skill activated, and the crystal began to break down, its nutrients flowing into him.

The system screen flashed in front of him again.

He walked around the hole, finding seven more Turbo Riot crystals.

"My aura is at 50, and it was at 130. It must be because I used Life Force Absorption eight times. That means each use costs 10 aura. I see now. I think I'm starting to understand," Zaire thought to himself.

Out of nowhere, the same lizard from before ran up Zaire's leg onto his shoulder.

"Huh, you're back. I'm sorry about earlier. How about I give you a name? What about Harry?" Zaire said to the lizard.

The lizard blinked and tilted its head, as if considering the name. Zaire smiled, feeling a sense of companionship with his new friend.
