A world of magic, A magical plant.

After letting my thoughts flow for some time, I finally shifted back my focus towards the first notification.

'I can begin sprouting? Hmm... yeah I should do that. Who knows, maybe I won't be doing Photosynthesis. Maybe I'll just be absorbing the energy of the stars and moon~ Hahahaha probably not eh'

Though I say that as if it won't be happening, that tingling feeling I have while absorbing the Dragon's material is always giving me the idea that it's possible.

'Well, let's start sprouting I guess.' With just the stupidly large amount of energy I have for a seed from absorbing the dragon's material, it should be quite easy for me to start sprouting.

That's what I thought at least until I noticed a problem. A massive problem.

'I can't sprout with the dragon on top of me!' It turns out that this blessing might be a curse in disguise. With the dragon on top of me, even if I do sprout, i would end up as a squashed plant...

...unless I continue to sprout in one direction until I'm no longer covered by the dragon...

However! I refuse to do so!

Because even as a plant, I want to look cool! If one day the dragon is finally gone, I would still end up looking like a squashed plant!

Thankfully, I do have another idea to solve my problem.

As I continue to absorb the dragon's scale and flesh, I tried to see if I can shift my seed into the dragon. After another long time of absorbing time of absorbing, I attempted to shift my seed. And it worked!

'It's more slowly than having to grow my roots, and it takes more energy... but, with the energy from the dragon, it shouldn't be a problem!' As for how i'm shifting my seed... Well, it's something along the lines of pushing with some roots and pulling with others.

And so the absorbing continues!

After some time, my seed is finally inside the dragon. Since it would take some time to reach an ideal spot to sprout, I decided to experiment a bit.

'After growing my roots for some time now, I feel like I can manually control how much energy I put into it. Let's see what happens when i do that.' I tried moving more energy into growing roots.

And to my surprise, it increased the speed the roots can grow!

'Damn! I should have tried this earlier!' I then also tried using more energy into shifting my seed and that too incredibly increased the speed I can move.

Not long after I began growing my roots with my increased speed, a notification appeared.

[Ding! <Dragon's bone> discovered. Adding to Synthesis list...]

'Oh? I finally stumbled upon a bone.' As to be expected though. Nothing to think much about.

But then I realized that the tingling feeling inside me has become more intense. And along with, I sensed something new... something... something absorbable...

To make things even more weird, it is exactly that tingling feeling that feels absorbable. Along with something around my roots... 'wait, is it moving?'

I decided to try absorbing anyway. The tingling feeling began to vanish, while the ones around my roots started moving towards my roots.

While I was still confused as to what is happening, a series of notifications appeared that cleared things up.

[Ding! Requirements completed. <Dragon's blood>, <Dragon's flesh>, <Dragon's bone> has been fused into <Dragon>. <Dragon's scale> has become obsolete]

[Ding! requirements completed. Using <Dragon>, the user has discovered <Draconic energy>. Creating Energy list... Adding to list...]

[Ding! <Dragon> has given the passive skill <Energy perception>. Creating Passive Skills list... Adding to list...]

[Ding! The Draconic nature in the user's energy has given the passive skill <Draconic Aura>. Adding to list...]

'...'

It took me a while to process everything. Since it's quite overwhelming for me.

Wanting to see what my new status is like, I decided to call it up.

'Status'

+ --- --- --- +

Name: –

Phase: Seed

Species: [Unnecessary to be displayed]

Synthesis:

Energy:

Passive Skills:

Stats:

[Unnecessary to be displayed]

+ --- --- --- +

While looking through my new longer and more satisfying status, I realized that I can now perceive the form of the dragon.

It felt strange because before, there was only darkness. But now, I can see something like a 3D image of a dragon.

'This should be energy perception. My guess is that since the whole dragon is filled with energy, I can see it with my energy perception.'

To me it was a massive dragon with a pair of wings and 4 legs. Quite the standard form for a dragon. I consider it massive because my seed was small enough to fit through its pupil.

Another thing I noticed was that the dragon is dead. Unless it is somehow still alive with the gaping hole in its chest and the disconnected head.

Moving on... 'Draconic energy and Draconic aura... I wonder what that is? Hmm... normally in most reincarnation webnovels where the MC has this status thingy, there should be a way to see a skills description right?'

So I decided to try out the clichés

'System, what is <Draconic aura>?'

Nothing happened.

'System, display description for <Draconic aura>'

Still nothing happened.

After trying out a few more other clichés that didn't work...

'Information <Draconic aura>'

[Ding!]

+ --- --- --- +

The Draconic nature of your energy has given you the presence of a draconic being. Lesser intelligent beings with a bloodline lower than <Draconic> will avoid you.

+ --- --- --- +

'FINALLY!' After trying out so many other sentences, it was only out of desperation that i decided to just make up a random sentence.

It then dawned on me 'No wonder that ball of light said to use Information' if i had teeth i would probably be gritting my teeth in annoyance.

Moving that aside, I read the description on draconic aura. And wow.

'Amazing!' it only dawned on me now once I read it, but as a plant, I'm really really really low on the food chain. Which means that once I sprout, I would be in huge danger!

'If it wasn't because of this skill, I would have regretted not saying make me a houseplant to that ball of light'

Since I already know what energy perception does with the dragon that I can now see, I decided not to check it out. 'Okay, back to the road to my first leaf'

After a long time, i've finally reached an ideal spot to begin sprouting. As such, I once again looked into my plant nature to see how to do it.

'Let's see here. So first of all, I should picture how I want to look like in my mind, then I have to use some energy to break the 'shell' around my seed and start growing.' breaking the shell wasn't too hard. After growing roots with extra energy for so long, i've become used to the manipulation of my energy. So with a bit of manipulation, I easily concentrated a some energy at one point and rammed it towards my shell.

*crack*

And just like that, shell destroyed. Using even more energy I began to sprouting. Little by little, i grew myself through the flesh of the dragon. With the amount of extra energy I'm using to grow, it didn't took much time before finally...

My first leaf.

[Ding! Congratulations to the user for sprouting its first leaf and finishing the germination process. The user has grown into a Sprout]

[Ding! Requirements completed. Species has been changed to <Unnamed Magical Plant>]

[Ding! As the user has become a Sprout, energy absorption has become the passive skill <Energy Absorption>. Adding to list... Note to user: User can still manually absorb energy to discover new energy]

'Hahaha! Finally! Well I guess that finally clears up what I am!'

'A world of magic, a Magical Plant. Since I'm a magical plant, all my abilities makes sense now! Hahahaha!'

But please don't misunderstand me though. Though I say as if i'm happy to be a magical plant, the truth is...

'F- YOU, YOU DAMN WORLD ENDING BALL OF LIGHT! JUST FROM THE NAME, I AM DAMN SURE I WOULD BE IN TROUBLE!'
