'This system shares some similarity with Mir Grand.' the status page was a big example.
I was still in the same place, thinking about my status; I also did think about finding a water supply, but that wasn't that important to me, right now.
'Then, let's try this.' I then thought about a hypothesis that will confirm if the system was truly similar to what it was in Mir Grand.
That thought was soo important for the future, that I had to stop looking for a water source; after all if this hypothesis came true then it would greatly benefit me.
The hypothesis was that if the system is similar to Mir Grand, then the leveling up the skills should be the same. So the experiment I was about to was to level up my dragon breath skill to level 2.
If the hypothesis worked then I would be left with a level 2 skill and a better understanding of the system, and if it failed I would be more experienced in using my skill. It meant that I won't lose.
But even if I would lose something, this experiment was soo important that I wouldn't mind it.
After all, I wasn't that optimistic to think that I would be safe in this world; not after knowing how violent humans can be, and maybe the monsters as well - but they still wouldn't be as violent as humans.
I prayed to god that this would work, after all, sitting around in the middle of a forest, which may or may not have monster - who might even be stupid strong, with a level 1 skill is suicidal.
After all, level 1 skills were fucking useless. For example: If this world truly followed the system used by Mir Grand, then just picking up a sword and trying to use it will give you level 1 sword technique.
I would feel a lot more safer with a level 2 skill; after all, it meant that I was at least experienced with it. It would also be very quick to level it up.
I will only have to train for about 30 minutes, which should be lowered due to me having the body of a dragon, but that was a maybe.
That's because dragons in Mir Grand had the racial skill - so it wouldn't be displayed on the status page - called draconic wisdom. Its most basic usage was to increase the rate you leveled up skills and made them more potent.
Since it was draconic in origin, it was stronger than a normal wisdom skill - who were already pretty strong.
I knew it would be applicable here, after all I quickly learned how to use my limbs; even though I had never interacted with this body.
But if there was something happening and I was already integrated into this body, then leveling up my skill would prove if it exists or not.
I smiled inside as this test would not only give me a level 2 skill and information about the system if it was successful; it would also give me access to one of the most useful skills in the game.
Level 1 skills did take a lot of energy; it was going to be tiring. Thankfully, dragon breath didn't require mana and only required stamina; which was a more expendable resource than mana.
'But before that I should probably get the aura suppression skill'
Aura suppression was a must have skill for stealth build, after all it suppressed your aura - or the mana that you released in the atmosphere.
Monsters tended to not suppress their aura, only the the intelligent ones did - though that was only when they were weaker. So they were hunted pretty quickly; leaving a monster in the wild is just asking for trouble, even if they weren't the same as the ones in Mir Grand.
It's also important because I didn't want humans to come and just kill me. After all, dragon babies were very weak; though not that weak, I was confident that I could beat an amateur human.
That is going to be pretty bad, after all I really wanted to live this life; since my previous was trash, absolute trash. Even playing Mir Grand didn't make my life any better - though I still got enjoyment out of it.
Learning aura suppression might be a little hard, but with the help provided to me through my body and racial skill - which I just confirmed exists, it was easy.
[Aura Suppression: Lv.1 UNLOCKED!]
A notification passed through my head, just like it did in Mir Grand. I was something I had learned to love in the 10 years I had played Mir Grand.
Suppressing my aura was a little tiring, but after level 2 it should be pretty good.
'It's also going to be the highest leveled skill I will have.' after all, I was going to be using it 24/7.
The reason for that was that at level 3 - which would be pretty far away, as I would probably have to level up to level 10 to get it - aura suppression would basically start to make me invisible. Basically I would have a weaker presence.
The reason for why I needed to get to level 10 to learn a level 3 skill was because of the tiering system of the game.
There was a total of 10 tiers. With each tier compromising of 10 levels. From level 1-10 you would be at elementary tier, level 10-20 it will be intermediate, level 20-30 is advanced, level 30-40 is expert, and level 40-50 was master.
There were higher tiers, but these were the basic tiers. As most npc, monsters, and players were in this range. Only about 10% of the total player base had ever reached above level 50, and only about .1% of the player reached level 80 - like me.
The most important thing about tiers was that skills were also divided into tiers; it was 2 levels per each tier - though it did change after the awakened tier. So level 3 skill was an intermediate skill, so I needed to be above or in level 10 to even start learning the skill.
Actually, you could learn level 3 skill without leveling up; but that would mean that I would have to practice with the skill for my entire life.
But it also could not be the case, as I didn't know shit about the world to deem it as fact.
'Ok let's do this.' I pumped myself up; as I was now going to do my first real attack in this world.
My body instinctively knew how to use its dragon breath, and with the help of my racial skill I could do it without using a lot of stamina.
I shot out a stream of flames, though it was only about 30 cm in length, it was about 600°C.
If my stamina was 100, then it would be draining 1 stamina point every second. I would need about a minute to regenerate my entire stamina bar. So it would take me about 16 minutes to level this skill up, if it followed the system.
Now I think about it, this won't be enough samples for me to say for a fact that the leveling system in this world was similar to the game - if it would even work; that would be pretty arrogant in my opinion.
...
"Kwaah..." I sighed, I could make myself learn how to speak; but I didn't need to - though I wanted to.
The main reason for that is because I don't know shit about the language this world uses, so if I try to make myself learn my own language it would just be a waste of time.
Especially since I have to be pretty careful now, as most monsters - even the weaker ones - should be able to kill me. Though I should still be able to spare some time to at least learn how to pronounce words or be able to form them.
But, that will be after I knew for fact that I didn't need to focus on just staying alive - which was currently my main priority.
'Well I think I should start to find a river or something, water's quite important.' I then now finally started my mission to find water. I also needed find some small creatures; I mean I would get hungry as well.
The result was successful, I leveled up my dragon breath and my aura suppression to level 2. So I was pretty smug right now.
