W-Energy Calendar, Year 350, July 3 at 11:55 pm
Leonardo Redfrost was gazing at the beautiful starry night, underneath it's gaze lies a street that was crowded with people. Some were the same as Leo and was heading for the nearest store, while the others had hidden motives.
Leo turned to a different street and as he walked farther and farther away from the crowded street, the noise slowly faded away.
Leo felt eerie and thought "Why is it suddenly very quiet" Leo walked with larger strides than before, he was afraid that something dangerous might happen.
Leo heard a loud thud when he passed by an alley, he then heard "He...elp". Out of curiosity, Leo turned around to check what happened.
The alley itself looks normal, but when Leo looked at the floor. He almost jumped in fear, there was a person lying on the ground and he was covered in fatal wounds. This person was also wearing a black jacket and it had a hood that currently covered his face.
Leo thought "This person will die if he doesn't get treated in a proper hospital". Leo reached for the man's body, with the intention of checking the man's current status. When he was about to touch the man, the same person slapped Leo's hand away.
The man uttered "It seems I am about to die and I still don't have a successor". The man looked at Leo and laughed while saying "I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore, brat give me your hand and I'll give you something".
Leo thought "What will he give me? Is it something of high value, something I can sell for a lot of money? If so I'll gladly take it, but just in case I should use my left arm. It is my less dominant arm, so even if he tries to break it and rob me. I'll still be fine, but if he so happens to rob me my family will lose two weeks worth of income" currently Leo's eyes, were shining in a golden hue.
Leo stretched his left arm out, when his hand was close enough, the man moved swiftly and gave him a ring. The ring was made of gold and a red dragon was also carved on it.
The man slowly took his hood off and his whole face could now be seen, Leo was shocked to see how he looked. The man had ash grey hair, blood red eyes, two broken red horns, dragon-like black scales covering half his cheeks, and a jet black tail. This man was part of the demon race, the race that is known for it's extreme talent and power.
The old demon spoke "I bestow you the title of clan successor, you are now allowed to train all the Martial Arts of the Red Dragon Clan. What I have given you is all the treasures of the fallen Red Dragon Clan, but in exchange for this I would like you to do me a favor. Revive this clan and hopefully you might as well destroy the other clans.
It has been 57 years since the clan was destroyed but worry not as it was not completely destroyed, the main family was the only one that got completely annihilated as they gave up their lives to let the branch families escape" Leo found it strange that a clan would allow the branch families to escape rather than the main family.
The old demon finished talking and with a bright smile, he crumbled into ashes. A sudden breeze of cold air made Leo shiver, as the same breeze slowly carried the ashes away.
Leo wondered "Why is there a sudden breeze of cold air in alley, it's just like I'm in a novel", it didn't take long before he just stopped thinking about it.
Leo gazed at the ashes that were being carried away and like he was grabbing his heart, he put his hand on his chest. He bowed and said "It was short, but it was nice meeting you and thank you".
Leo went back to the streets and this time there was people walking, unlike earlier which was quite peculiar.
Leo took large strides, as he went towards his house. Leo had a bright smile on his face and he was thinking "Most high paid jobs can only be done by World Energy users, with this I might be able to fix our monetary problem. The only problem is how I should tell them. I should think about that later and for now I should try to find out how to use this".
When Leo got home he immediately said "Mom, Dad I'm home!", before his parents could say anything he ran straight to his room.
He remembered that there was something called spatial rings, they were commonly used by World Energy users to store their items and their quality differed depending on how it costs.
Leo thought that the ring that was given to him was a spatial ring, making him very excited. Leo then uttered "Now then how do I open this spatial ring", well this was a every important question. The biggest problem was that this family was a normal one, so none of them can use world energy.
Leo turned his Comm-link on, then he searched how to use a spatial ring and he found it straight after. Leo learned that he had to smear blood on the ring and make it absorb his blood, doing this will allow the person to obtain authority to use the ring.
Leo immediately took a cutter and slightly cut his index finger. He smeared the blood on the ring and it gradually glowed red, the ring slowly absorbed the blood as the glow slowly faded away.
Leo felt that something was wrong, he put his hand on his chest and groaned. He could feel a burning sensation on his heart and it was so painful he might just die. A few minutes later, the pain slowly faded away until it finally vanished like it was never there.
A part of Leo's body glowed and so Leo took his shirt off to see what it was. He approached his mirror and he saw a male in his teens.
He had ruby red eyes, icy blue hair, fair skin, his height was around 173cm, and he had a fit body. Leo thought "Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary, other than this tattoo on my chest...", Leo took 3 seconds to realize and said "Why do I have a tattoo!?".
The tattoo was a red dragon, it starts from his chest and extends to his back. It emitted an aura of life and death, it was so terrifying most people will tremble in fear at the sight of such a being.
The glow slowly faded after one minute, sadly the tattoo was still there and Leo didn't know how to explain it to his parents. Leo turned his Comm-link on and checked the internet what the tattoo meant.
Leo obtained a clan Inheritance tattoo, this tattoo was always given to a certain person that will become the next clan leader. This tattoo was from one of the four powerful clans, it came from the Red Dragon Clan that was destroyed more than half a century ago.
The Red Dragon Clan was actually the most powerful of the four, the clan could beat the other three clans if they wished but that would lead to large casualties and it was only due to the fact that their founder was the strongest on the planet that they could win.
When the founder died, in fear of the Red Dragon Clan making another powerful being the other three clans worked together to destroy it.
It was also said that the Red Dragon Clan helped the branch families escape and the main family stayed, they acted as the scapegoat. They wanted to protect the clan even if they died so they forced the branch families to escape and they told them to rebuild it again, but after so many years the branch families didn't do a single thing.
All this information made Leo wonder "Why not just make the Main Family escape rather than the Branch Families", he thought that the person that commanded the clan at the time was stupid but that only lasted for a second. He thought that it was not that stupid, it might be the only way for some of them to survive and so he admired the last clan head for his sacrifice.
------------------------------------------
Somewhere within the Silver District, a girl suddenly felt a burning sensation that made her feel excruciating pain. A few minutes passed and the same thing happened to the girl, she noticed that her body was glowing and like Leo she undressed to check.
Her bare body could be seen, she had a curvaceous body and when she moves one could see things jiggle. When she noticed the tattoo on her chest she screamed, a normal girl would obviously do the same thing and right now that normal girl was her.
The people guarding the mansion heard the scream and then the loud noise of footsteps resounded all over the mansion, they knocked on the door when they reached her room.
The people outside asked "What's the matter Miss!", the girl immediately said "There's nothing wrong so don't come in, just call my parents".
The men outside moved very fast, a few minutes later a woman with a voluptuous body and a man with a slightly muscular body was knocking on the door. The door opened and the two entered.
The girl's parents had arrived and they noticed that the girl was currently crying in a corner, her mother asked the girl "Why are you crying and why are you naked?". The girl pointed at her chest, her parents noticed the tattoo but instead of being mad they seemed happy.
The girl's father opened his mouth and said "It seems our daughter was chosen as the bride of the successor, you should stop crying Lily and be happy. The Red Dragon God has chosen you to be the bride of the successor of the clan, you should accept it".
Lily got angry at what her father said and before her father could continue she said "What are you talking about, why would I marry some random stranger and do you think you can trick me. The Red Dragon Clan was destroyed years ago didn't it, so why am I being engaged".
Lily's parents agreed with her, but then they thought about something "Did the Red Dragon God make a mistake or did someone get chosen to revive the clan".
Lily's parents seemed very happy, they wished that the clan could revive from the beginning but the other families were too scared and didn't want to help.
------------------------------------------
Leo checked the space inside the ring, he was greeted by an artificial sun. Leo was also surprised to see how big the space was, then he remembered that only the highest quality of spatial rings could have this much space.
The high quality spatial rings could be used as an instant mansion, this spatial ring he had was one that had enough space to become a city and right now the ring was filled with buildings.
Every building had a sign on the side, Leo then thought "Did that old man literally put everything in here, even the buildings of the Red Dragon Clan was included and if he did doesn't this mean that the whole clan could easily be restored" Leo then shrugged that thought away.
Leo entered a building with a sign beside it saying "Martial Skills", Leo composed himself before entering. He was saying in his mind "I must compose myself and not act like a weird person even though I'm the only one here, this is still the Martial Skill building of the clan" and when Leo entered his jaws dropped, well it seems he could not compose himself.
The building was unlike any other skill buildings, the place was filled to the brim with skill scrolls and not like the one he knew that was filled with skill chips. There was even a sign beside it saying "The best skill isn't the strongest but the skill that you can use perfectly".
Leo walked straight to a desk that had some sort of platform in front of it, Leo then stood on the platform. The platform was blue in color and it was usually used by powerful clans to help the cultivators, it was also used so that the keeper of the building still has time to cultivate.
When Leo stood on the platform a floating panel had appeared , this device was used for easily searching for skills. Leo uttered the words "Search Cultivation Skills, for males", Leo added those last words as he was worried that he might accidentally get a skill for females.
Female cultivation techniques are very different from male cultivation techniques, to the point that if a male were to use a female cultivation technique he will die and the same thing will happen to a female if she used one for males.
The searching device finished loading but there were still 200+ cultivation techniques, Leo wasn't surprised anymore he knew that this amount wasn't even equal to half of the skills in the whole building.
Leo thought that this filter wasn't enough and it would take a long time before he could find a skill that was compatible with himself, when he was about to slide down the panel he noticed that there was a weird button right beside the search button.
Leo pressed the weird button out of curiosity and he heard a pleasant voice saying "I will now scan your whole body and find the most compatible cultivation technique for you, please wait for a few seconds", after 5 or so seconds Leo heard the voice say "Scan complete, the most compatible cultivation technique for you is 'Red Dragon Transformation'. This skill can be found at floor three, on the fifth bookshelf and it is the thirty-fifth book".
Leo followed the instructions that the voice said and he was able to find it with ease, when he took the book out off the bookshelf another book with the same name appeared right at the spot where he took it from. He then thought "The Red Dragon Clan is so rich, if only the clan didn't get destroyed. How powerful would this clan be today".
Leo went back to the platform but this time he looked for combat skills, the weird button could be seen again and so he pressed it. This time the pleasant voice said "Searching for useable martial skills, please wait for a moment", after three minutes yes three whole minutes the voice finally said "Search complete, please choose one of the following martial skills".
Thousands of skills appeared and Leo was shocked, isn't this function supposed to only show me the skills that are compatible with me and then he remembered what it said earlier. The voice only said useable skills, the only thing that wasn't included was female skills.
Leo was worried as he might waste his time to learn a skill that would be hard to learn because of its compatibility with Leo. The pleasant voice could be heard again as if she knew what Leo was thinking, the voice said "Do not worry, I will now filter the skills in descending order from the most compatible to near none existent compatibility".
The order of the skills constantly changed for ten minutes and Leo was happy when it finally finished, Leo looked gloomy when he saw that there were only four skills that had 100% compatibility with Leo. If only Leo knew that this amount was really high, most people only had one while Leo had four.
The first skill was a skill called 'Demon's Wrath', although it was called this it this way it was totally useless for demons and was only compatible with the other races. This skill was a shape shifting skill, the user would temporarily transform into a demon and the duration of the skill depended on the user's cultivation level.
The second skill was called 'Lightning Blade', the skill was one that needed a weapon and that weapon was a katana. Depending on one's mastery of the skill, using this skill will either shroud your weapon or envelope your whole body and weapon with lightning. The skill had seven forms, currently Leo could use none.
The third skill was called 'Fire Manipulation', the skill is really simple and as the name suggests it was used to manipulate fire. If Leo's mastery of this skill was high enough he could make fire with this skill, the intensity of the fire also depended on mastery and when one masters the skill the fire would turn pale blue.
The fourth skill was called 'Quick Steps', the skill was really simple as the only effect was being able to move really fast. Leo took all four skills and left the building.
