'This body... I've heard about the legend of people dying and then reincarnating as another being. And that happened to me?'
Evan slowly got up to check his body had reincarnated into what? However, with the changes he was experiencing, several parts of his body still felt numb. He had difficulty balancing, and fell from the throne chair.
He rolled like a wheel until his body crashed into the gleaming main door.
'WAAAH!!' He cried out in surprise as he used the door's gleaming surface as a mirror to see his reflection.
The purplish-black furry body, furry paws, and shiny white horns... His body was really small, maybe even the size of an adult cat. At first, he thought that his body had turned into a lizard, but after paying more attention to his reflection. He looked cute and much cuter than a lizard.
The feature that attracted the most attention was that his eyes were brighter than ever, like topaz. But that's not the problem here!
'Oh, God or Demon who listened to my previous pleas! This... Is this a mistake?!'
Evan felt a boom in his mind, and he nearly fainted with regret that he had agreed to a strange request from something he didn't know.
His heart was full of disappointment and frustration with the fact that his plan of revenge had failed because he had considered himself reincarnated and turned into a creature that looked like a lizard.
It took a few minutes to calm down, and as Evan started to regain the sensation in his body, his stomach started to protest.
Growl...Growl...Growl...
'It turns out that this body still needs food intake...'
Evan realized that he was in a luxurious room and felt that something could fill his hungry stomach. He turned to look at the large room.
When he closed his eyes, his ears could hear the sound of water splashing at the other end of the room. Without waiting for a second, he started walking up to reach the water fountain, which took 6 times longer than human steps.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water in the small, clear water fountain... He couldn't find any food in the room. If this was indeed a castle, that would be natural, as the food was only available in the dining room.
While thinking about getting out of the room, Evan thought about his hungry stomach and slow walking. If he came out like this, it was certain that the people in the castle would easily chase and arrest him and would end up in prison again.
Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps, and he chose to drink more water to delay his hunger.
'If I take another look, my new body looks like a dragon. When compared to the Nuclear Dragon, this body was much more dominant with fur than scales. And on my back there is only fur that grows thickly and there is no pair of wings which is the hallmark of a dragon. He wished he weren't a cute desert lizard species.'
Evan would think of himself as a dragon before getting the proper information about his new body. As he was getting used to his new body, his ears heard the sound of a girl's cry from the throne. He was sure that he had previously checked, and there was no one other than him.
Arriving at the top of the throne where he first woke up, he was surprised to see a reddish-pink hair girl sleeping on the floor beside the throne chair.
'She looks very tired, maybe the voice I heard before reincarnating was her voice? Whoever you are, I am very grateful to you for giving you a second lifetime.'
Evan felt genuine compassion for the girl as tears flowed down and he heard a small mutter about someone.
'But excuse me, there's something I need to find out... time to go!'
Just as Evan was about to avert his gaze from the reddish-pink hair girl, a notification appeared in his line of sight.

"W-what is this?" Despite his panic, Evan kept his cool and tried to understand all the writing that appeared in his sight with his knowledge.
It was similar to the Appraiser that the kingdom used to judge one's abilities. But the Appraiser he knew was limited to displaying Name, Class, Level, HP and MP. And now, he could see the status of a person's abilities in much more detail with just the eyes.
Before, he had fun because had skills that exceeded Appraiser. There was something that made him a little curious. Some parts of the status could not be seen by him, in fact, it was filled with question marks, and the level of Class was different from the knowledge he gained while studying in the kingdom first.
'Even though she looks like a human but I never thought she is a dragon race, and... Higher-class Demon Class? What kind of class is it? And also... Jeez! She is 1021 years old?'
Evan dumbfounded to see that the young girl looked as tall as Liliana was already 1021 years old.
With a strong sense of curiosity about the dragon race, which was considered the strongest entity in the world, he began to pay attention to the little girl who was fast asleep.
She had calf-length, reddish-pink hair, partially tied into two pigtails, and she was wearing a short black lacy dress. After seeing Lucia, he felt sure that the body could transform into a human form.
Another strange voice rang out again as Evan was imagining himself turning into a human.
[Skill is not available yet!]
"Did I wake her up?" Evan panicked when he assumed the foreign voice was Lucia's. But when he watched her again, she was still asleep with her cute face.
'If not Lucia, then whose voice is this? Could it be... you are a god or a demon who saved me? If it's you, I just want to thank you!'
Actually, Evan was also annoyed by that strange voice for turning him into a dragon. But, he knew that the best way to get the other person to talk to him was with praise.
[I am a kind of core intelligence that resides in your soul and is a skill that will serve you to become a Monster.]
Evan was sure that the voice was a girl's voice, but he couldn't feel any emotions or feelings when the core intelligence spoke.
'I-is that monster much stronger than a Demon-class Higher-class?'
[Wrong! Monster Class is only one level above your current class.]
'So, I am weaker than Lucia?'
[Right! You can see your status through your reflection.]
Feeling uneasy about how strong he was, Evan immediately ran to the small pool and did as the Intelligence Core said.
'Eehhh...'
