The majestic flame is...mad?

"Nnnn…"

Waking up and stretching from the long and satisfying sleep he had, he felt that more at peace, like he was a part of this world now.

It was a strange feeling but before his sleep he was having a hard time coming to terms with what was happening but after a good rest that feeling faded for the most part, it's still there just not as prominent. The rest also helped him calm his mind, so he could now make clear thoughts.

"Is the elixir thing done now?" Dante asked the system.

[Yes, the elixir has been completely absorbed by the host.]

Diving into his thoughts Dante was trying to remember the power system of this world. After thinking for a bit, he decided that he would buy a book from the market so he could get an official explanation. He had a rough idea of the power system, but he didn't know how to cultivate his strength, after all it was just a game before this.

Quickly looking through the market he bought a book that looked good to him for 100 StarCoins and took some time looking through it.

What he figured out is that there are 6 different realms.

Foundation Core realm

Bronze Core realm

Silver Core realm

Gold Core realm

Platinum Core realm

Crystal Core realm

Each of these realms are divided into three minor parts, 'Low, Mid, High', other than the Foundation Core realm. The Foundation Core realm isn't divided into the three minor parts, it is instead determined on stages. It has 10 stages; this could also be called your 'talent'.

Settling all the information in his, Dante asked the system a question.

"System, what's my Foundation at?"

He was a little worried to see the system's response because this would determine how strong he could get in the future.

[Host, please say status out loud or in your head to call upon your status.]

'Status' he thought.

[Name: Dante

Age: 9

Charm: 5/10

Realm: Foundation Core

Core Stage: 10

Body: Transcendent Dragon Physique

Bloodline: N/A (Unawakened)

Body/Bloodline Compatibility: N/A

Titles: The homeless dragon]

"Oi! Who makes the titles, it's not my fault I'm homeless!... Anyway, it seems like I'm pretty set for the future. The only thing I can complain about is my charms, I look absolutely average. I'll make sure to change that eventually." Said Dante.

After taking a look at his status he turned his attention back to the book. Seeing the 'Transcendent Dragon Physique', Dante wanted to look more into the 'Body' part of his status. And this is what he figured out.

Most of the time the person never figures out what their 'Body' is. To put it simply, the 'body' gives talents, but is mostly used as a vessel for your bloodline and it also determines how much power you are able to use from your bloodline. For example, if someone had a normal human 'body' but their bloodline was something far greater than a human, then they will only be able to use a tiny amount of the power their bloodline has. On the other hand, if someone has a 'body' that is completely compatible with their bloodline then they will be able to use 100% of their bloodlines capabilities.

This wasn't very confusing so Dante quickly understood. He then started looking at how to cultivate.

***

After reading on how to cultivate for a while, he decided to give it a try.

Sitting down, he closed his eyes and attempted to enter a meditative state like the book said to. The book said that it might take a few hours to enter this state on your first try, but for Dante he entered the meditative state in about 10 min, he couldn't help but think it was thanks to his 'Transcendent Dragon Physique'.

Diving into the meditative state, he sent his mind into a dark place in order to 'search' for his attribute. According to the book everybody has an attribute, the most common attributes are elemental attributes but some have a null attribute. Null attributes are attributes that don't fall into the elemental category.

'So many colors…' thought Dante.

Sending his mind into a dark space, he noticed that the dark space wasn't so…dark. It had many colored orbs flying around, he particularly saw many orange, blue, green, and brown orbs.

'Those must be the most common attributes.' he reasoned.

But he also saw many different colored ones, some gray, black, purple and others as well, but they were in much less quantity compared to the common attributes.

'They must be the more rare attributes.' he thought, thinking back to the book.

All of this was not as stated in the book, in the book it was stated that there would be at most 4 attributes and that he would feel an attraction to them. But what he was currently experiencing was many more than just 4 attributes and that wasn't all, he also didn't feel attracted to any of the attributes! Noticing this, Dante started to panic.

"Does this mean I don't have an attribute… If I don't then what do I do…" Dante felt lost, he didn't have anybody to guide him in the ways of cultivation like most others do. All he had was a book about the general knowledge of cultivation and he had to figure out the rest himself.

But, his panic didn't last long before all of the attributes started to disperse, seemingly running in fear.

'Are they scared of me?' This confused him. What were they scared of? Should he also be running?

Many questions were running through his head before he felt a presence that answered all of them. What were they scared of? They were scared of this transparent looking flame that had just appeared, giving off an aura of supremacy. Should he also be running? No, quite the opposite, he even felt attracted to this transparent flame.

Feeling this attraction he said "Is this my attribute?"

This transparent flame was 'calling' him like it wanted to be with him, like it was 'meant' to be with him.

Slowly reaching out towards the flame, it fully engulfed his body. But instead of feeling pain, he felt warm and cozy.

After sitting down, letting the flame engulf his body, the flame started to change colors and he recognized the colors it was changing into. It was the same colors that the throne from that 'dream' changed into, a cerulean blue and a pearly white!

Soon the flame had completely changed colors, no transparency could be seen in the now majestic blue and white flame. When it finished changing, it left Dante's body and formed a ball of blue and white fire in front of him. This ball of fire seemed almost arrogant, like it was looking down on all of the other attributes.

Seeing all of the other attributes fleeing in fear seemed to have made the flame mad. The mad flame then continued to display some kind of suction effect and started to draw the other attributes towards it. When the attributes were forced to make contact with the flame, it seemingly ate it and grew bigger.

'Woah, that's cool…It's eating the other attributes just because it was mad. Haha!' Knowing the flame was friendly with him, he couldn't help but let out a quick chuckle at the fate of the other attributes.

When the flame finally calmed down, Dante took a look around the dark space and saw… Nothing. Yep, that's right, the flame ate all of the attributes in the dark space.

Even then the dark space wasn't really…dark. Hell, it was even brighter than before, but unlike before the many different colors it once held were no longer, instead it was completely illuminated by the singular blue and white flame.

After eating everything, the flame seemed satisfied and proceeded to compress itself into a fist sized pearl. It still gave off the same aura of supremacy it previously did and also had the same color that it did in its flame form.

Then under Dante's observation, the majestic fist size pearl disappeared into his chest. Following its disappearance, Dante felt himself change. Not knowing how, he felt himself becoming much more confident, prideful(but not too much), and much stronger.

This pearl seemed to have gotten rid of the lingering fears he had about coming to his world and replaced them with excitement and desire. Desire for something fun and interesting, and excitement for getting a chance to do just that.
