Looking at his attributes so far, David decided to allocate 4 points evenly between agility and dexterity and 1 point in luck. After he placed those points and confirmed his choice, he felt his senses sharpen and could feel his entire body as his own now.
'...sigh...system, are you at least able to tell me how to use mana?' David asked.

"Oh, shit...gacha stuff..." David sighed, remembering all those times where he got literal garbage.
'Open the gift package, system.' he was ready to be disappointed in case he didn't get anything good in his first lottery, after all, he did only have 2 luck...

'Alright system, open the lottery...Let's see what I can try to draw...' David calmly looked at the interface in front of him.

"Hm...System, take one dart for the weapon banner and the other one into the knowledge banner...I need strength and knowledge as quickly as possible..." he muttered.

[Opening Weapon Banner & Knowledge Banner...]
[Please stand up Host...]

"Oh? Guess I have to do the darts myself!" David got excited that he might be able to get rare items even more easily this way.
Looking at the wheel in front of him, it was spinning too fast for him to see anything which made him twitch his eye.
'Tch...fine, I guess it'll be the same for the later levels anyway, might as well get used to this now..." he grumbled as he took a faith shot.
The first dart landed, then the second dart landed. Because they were still spinning quite quickly, and disappeared, David's eye twitch again as he couldn't even see what he got until a notification popped up.

[The Host has received...]
-[Scaling Dismantling Knife (Godly)
-[Introduction to Mana & Magic Part 2(R)

'Ohh! I needed this!' David took a look at the two items in front of him.
'This...this is the first time I experienced beginner's luck...thank you for taking pity on me, great gods...' he kneeled and prayed.
Putting the knife into his inventory, he took out the two [Mana & Magic] textbooks and began skimming them quickly.
As he was reading, he was also unconsciously using these methods at the same time, which by the time he finished the introduction book, he felt...different.
He felt like he could constantly feel a small area around him, and keeping this state, he picked up the second part of the introduction to magic and mana and begun reading it as well.
Skimming through it, he was able to quickly read the entire book within an hour, though he still needed to understand some important parts of it as his control was still quite low.
Remembering the anime he used to watch, instead of imagining that mana was just a tool for his use, he began to integrate it into him, as he was supposed to be a chimera paragon, meaning his affinity with mana should be at the top.
Due to the fact, the system didn't give him a scale of how good his control actually was, due to his race, and efficient practice, he was actually much better than most regular monsters in using magic already.
Taking in the new senses he felt all around him, David sat in a meditating position to get used to the feeling quickly. He took a deep breath and circulated the mana around his entire body and made the same process as inhaling and exhaling, making the process extremely smooth.
Feeling a sudden burst of power, David opened his eyes to see what was going on.

'Sweet! Since my strength and stamina should be enough now, I should try getting used to this body!' David looked at his other features, thinking about how he would be able to use them.
Because it was his new body, David did some tests, like punching a wall, only to find it bent inward with no pain.
'System...show me my avatar...' he ordered.
The system had shown a 3d avatar of him. What surprised him was mainly how he looked.
He had a pair of pitch-black horns on the two sides of his upper forehead, both curving back above his head before pointing up. His eyes were yellow with black slits in the middle with the fact that they looked more like anime eyes slanting down, coupled with his sharp canines, making him look sharp.
His entire body had an occasional scale, which seemed to protect his body quite well. His back, protruding a pair of black wings with some horns on top of them, coupled with his spikey tail which also had a grey color on the none scaley side, making him look mostly dragon-like.
His muscles weren't too apparent/burly but instead was very lean to the point where if he wore clothes even slightly larger than him, some would even think he was skinny. His ears were somewhat pointy, like an elf's.
His short hair silky brown, which was somehow tied up to a side ponytail, draping slightly down his right shoulder, and his bangs giving quite an attractive light to him.
He actually was clothed, though it was only for the bottom half, which was just a light brown tunic while his chest was bare. His skin color was actually tan, giving extra attention to the fact that he had some marks on his body and face, which gave him an ancient vibe.
(A/N: Help...I can't describe...it's so hard for me. (;-;)
Using his [Transformation] skill, he was able to instinctively retract his wings, and shrink his tail as they were getting in his way.
'Well, shit...I look pretty good.' David admired his avatar as he didn't anything else to use to look at himself.
'Wait! No! I'm in a potentially dangerous place I have no idea about. I need to start hunting, for survival!' David stood up, and extended his hands, revealing long claws before slicing a nearby rock in pieces.
"I guess that'll be the best I can come up with. Time to begin the most boring thing in games, but the most dangerous thing, in reality, grinding!" David stood up, searching for an exit to his little cave.
"Aha! An exit found!" David walked to the opening, preparing for his sooner or later, first fight.

[Titles] (New!)
[Blessed By The Originals]-A title given to an organism blessed by the 7 originals. Due to the weak body of the Host, only the blessing of the ???, Chavistas, and Atlous have been received. Chavistas gives extra comprehension speed towards all magic, Atlous multiplies overall experience gains, and ??? gives access to the 'True' system.
[One of a Kind]-A title given to an organism that is different from all others. Gives the Host slightly better evolution choices.
***
[Explaining Skills]
[Skill Enhancer & Refiner]-Allows the Host to fully use a skill to the utmost efficiency and power, with great control if mastered enough. Because this skill automatically strengthens all skills, the experience gained will also decrease exponentially due to the difficulty of mastery.
[Correction]-Allows the Host to slightly 'change' when doing something wrong, meaning that even if the Host continues to do the same 'wrong' movement, it will slowly become 'right'. {Wrong stance -> Barely ok stance -> Decent Stance -> Good Stance -> Etc (Small Steps)}
(A/N: I hope I don't have to explain the other skills. They're easy to understand just from the name...right?)
