My Dragon System

Chapter 63:Evolved
As soon as the evolution notification was displayed my body felt as if it was burning. I was quickly brought down to my knees. The pain was unbearable. I needed to do something.

I sat down and started to meditate, similar to what I did when I practised gathering my Ki. I tried focusing on the pain imagining that it wasn't there. The pian then changed slightly, the burning sensation went to a prickly sensation. As if every pore on my skin was being stabbed with a small needle.

I cursed at the system, I wasn't ready for this. It hadn't even given me an option to start or not. After ten minutes the prickly sensation ended but a new pain soon took over. My bones. They felt like they were being torn from inside out.

Then I could hear cracking noises come from every part of my body. My bones themselves were actually breaking down, and rebuilding themselves. The process carried on repeating itself. With each break, I thought it might get easier to bear but the pian was just as bad.

I was using all my will power to stop me from screaming into the heavens. If they heard or saw me now they were sure to know something was wrong.

Finally, the pain stopped, I had lost track of how much time had passed as I was too focused on the pain.

I rubbed eyes thinking that perhaps they were playing tricks on me, as I read the notification screen I clearly read the words "Dragon knight" Wasnt that what they called the founders of Avrion? or was it just a coincidence. I didn't have much time to think about it right now as I was more worried about something else.

Had the evolution changed my appearance? I didn't have a mirror on me to check, so I activated my dragon eyes skill. While looking at myself I realised that my senses had improved. My vision was greater then before and I could sense everyone around me as if I was looking at them from an aerial view.

The students from down below were having a conversation but I could hear every word as if they were next to me. Then when the attention finally came to myself, my heart sank. My aura had changed, instead of the yellow colour I once had it was a yellow mixed in with a slight bit of red.

Yellow, was for humans, red was for a magical beast, purple for the shadow plague. If what I was seeing was correct, then did it mean I was now part beast? Then something came to my mind. I had seen something like this once before. When I had first entered Avrion academy they took us to the cemetery. In the tomb of one of the dragon knights, I could sense the same aura.

My outside appearance still seemed to be that of a human so I was thankful but when looking at my status, next to race it would now say Dragon knight. There wasn't much use me trying to wrap my head around it as I didn't have the answers right now.

While I was still on my own there was another test that I wanted to try though. I went through my systems inventory and could see the intermediate crystal still there.

When I tried this before the system displayed an error messge. If my hypothesis was correct the system was currently treating my body the same way magical beast would.

If we were to say I was a basic tier beast, a human, then I would only be able to absorb basic tier crystals. Now that I had evolved I could absorb intermediate. Perhaps eventually I would be able to evolve back into a dragon.

I selected yes and the crystal slowly started to disappear and I could feel a tingling sensation throughout my body.

I was a bit disappointed by the low amount of points that had been earned but was happy that I could now start to absorb intermediate crystals. The strong feeling I gained from the crystals was the same as before.

Before heading back to my room I decided that I would go to the school toilet to have a look at myself in the mirror. Just in case my appearance had changed. While walking through the hallway I used my sash as a scarf and lifted up my hood. I would also use my black sash skills to avoid being seen as much as possible.

When I arrived at the toilets it didn't seem like there had been any changes, everything had looked the same. My body, on the other hand, had gotten a little muscular and a little taller. It wasn't drastic enough to have to be explained though.

As I entered my room everyone was in their beds getting ready to sleep. Slyvia was just about to turn off the lights as I walked through the door.

"Oh, nice to have you join us." She paused while looking at me up and down.

I was sweating a little, afraid that I might have missed something.

"You look a little different."

Slyvia carried on staring at me, trying to figure out what was different.

She had a keen eye, for these sought of things and her senses were sharp.

"Stop flirting with Ray and turn of the light's" Dan shouted.

Slyvia's face went bright red and she quickly turned off the lights and went to sleep.

I was struggling to sleep, as usual, I had a lot on my mind but more so this time. While I was deep in thought I could hear someone speaking. It was from Gary. Gary had constantly been sleeptalking the last few days as if he was having a nightmare about something.

This time it was a lot worse, Gary was moving about so much he was shaking the bunk bed me and him were on. It was too hard to make out what he was saying as he was mumbling his words. Then he started shouting at the top of his voice.

"No, No don't!" he shouted.

Everyone in the room had heard Gary's cries and had woken up.
