SPECIES: ARCANE DRAGON(Hatchling)

TITLE: One who Became a Legend

[One Who Became a Legend]

-* Abnormal conditions don't work well on you.

* You won't die when health is at the minimum.

* Easily acknowledged.

A Legend Doesn't Die Easily

At the moment of death, a legend has an immortal body. It is only temporary, but a legend can resist all attacks for 5 seconds with the minimum amount of health.A legend becomes invincible due to the passive activation and can survive all attacks as long as the duration of invincibility is not over. Losing the insurance is the very worst but then a legend can face the enemy in the worst situation.

Cooldown: 24 hours

A Legend Doesn't Feel Fear Easily

A legend is characterized by being calm in any situation. And those who can calmly adapt to any situation have no fear. The characteristics of Composure, Indomitable and Courage stats allows to readjust the mind. The legend shakes off the fear effect completely. Even if people are aware of the horror in front of them, they may desperately want to avoid it and cannot move their weak legs. In this moment a legend is freed from fear and can move the body. Since effects such as weakness and immobilizing effect originate from fear and a legend does not easily feel fear, these effects are also resisted as abnormal conditions.

A Legend Doesn't Yield

A legend cannot be overwhelmed. Legends resist effects that dramatically lower their stats, so that they do not feel their minds and bodies shrinking, and remain perfectly fine. The abnormal states of fear and silence caused by the exposure are included because a legend never yields. The effects alone would make a legend yielding.

Cedrick read twice his status to make sure he isn't seing things.

'Broken! My status window is broken. I just leveled up to level 5 but I'm twice as stronger. According to the data. If I pick my race as human, my stats might still be within at 10-20. The gap is so big. Luckily I choose a dragon as my race.'

'More importantly why I am a Legend?'

'Hey, Wisdom Core care to explain this situation to me.'

{Understood Master}

{Master became a legend after you comprehend and understood the techniques of a Legend.}

'So that's when I learned Pagma's skill. I thought its impossible because I'm still a hatchling.'

{Technically, a hatchling is no different from the rating of a normal monster. But remember Master a hatchling is a still a dragon. Dragons are Absolute that is way above the league of a Legend. So it's no problem when you became a Legend when still a hatchling. You can also say that it is an achievement of a hatchling to learn and understand the techniques of a legend who breaks the limits of human.}

Cedrick listening to the Wisdom Core afraid of Missing a single detail.

{Also Master. Don't forget you're no ordinary hatchling. Without me as your skill becoming a Legend is not possible.}

Listening to it Cedrick felt like he was thrown a bucket of water. His self esteem that began to rise quikly plummeted.

'Ha ha ha, your right'

Cedrick wryly laugh to avoid the embarrassment.

'But come to think of it. The benifits of becoming a legend is useless to me. I have Immortality Skill and I'm totally immune to all abnormal conditions.'

{Your right Master.}

{But you are overlooking something.}

By the unexpected comment of the Wisdom Core. Cedrick interest piqued.

'And what is it?'

{Your Innate Skill: Immortality allows you to resist all abnormal statuses but it is all meaningless if you are instantly killed.}

Cedrick's eye suddenly widened and his back felt cold.

{But worry not Master, Now that you become a Legend it becomes a supplement to your weakness. You don't need to become invincible for 5 seconds but you did not die. All you need is 1 second and your HP is full due to the effects of the Innate Skill: Immortality.}

'So that means my survival rate has risen and it covers my weakness?'

{As expected of Master. You're quick to understand.}

After coming to a realization, Cedrick felt like he should not hold back anymore like earlier.

'Now that I don't need to fear close combats since I won't let anyone instantly kill me. I should learn how to fight in melee too.'

Cedrick concluded of what he should next do. To the path to become strong one needed to take things seriously.

'Now what should I do with my 50 Free AP? I should just leave it at it is. I'm good already with current stats so I should level up first.'

Cedrick traveled around 1 kilometer in the forest when he discover 8 dots in the mini map. Cedrick stealthly approached when he saw a pack of wolves.

'There's a big one leading them. I think that's the alpha.'

[Draconic Eye Activated]

With the Draconic Eye activated, Cedrick immediately appraised it.

[Cyan Wolf Leader]

Rating: Rare

The alpha of the pack of wolves, possesses an even greater body and stronger biting power. Violent temperament. Will attack any race on the vicinity.

Level:15

HP:280

MP:230

Stats:

Strength:25

Agility:33

Intelligence: 23

Vitality: 28

Skill:

Ferocious Bite: Dash and Bite the target. Deals 120% Damage and inflict Bleeding by 25%.

Sharp Fang(Passive): Attacks made by biting motion are increased in damage by 15% and have a chance to induce bleeding by 5%.

'It's really a boss and a rare boss at that! Can I consider this lucky or unlucky?'

Cedrick murmured to himself after seing a Rare Boss leading the pack of wolves.

'It's level is higher than me but my stats are way better. As expected of a dragon. Now what should I do?'

Cedrick carefully examined the situation.

'Even if I'm stronger I will still be in trouble. In the first place, I don't have a battle sense. I can't fight the pack on the same time or I'll really be in trouble.'

'So I should separate them and finish the alpha first.'

Cedrick formed a plan on how to separate them one by one.

Stepping into the wolf's aggro range. The eyes of the wolves lock on Cedrick, followed by a wolf howl, the Leader charged into him followed by the wolves. Not only it is bigger, it is also faster than the other wolves.

'Calm down. You can do this. Win, I can win!'

[Dragon Fear Activated]

The wolves stiffen and immediately stopped moving but the Alpha is still rushing at a fast speed.

'It's not affected. Well that's within my expectation, I'm still a hatchling so it's no brainer.'

'But you made a grave mistake. You shouldn't charge at me alone. Hehehe. Just like as planned.'

[Draconic Eye Activated]

Cedrick chuckled while focusing on the Alpha. The Alpha wolf engaged it's target. It's running speed is slowly approaching it's extreme. But Cedrick's speed is faster than the wolf, arriving behind in the next moment. Cedrick targeted the nape and punched at full force.

Baaam!

Cedrick who just narrowly avoided the wolf's attack sent the wolf's body flying a meter then lying sideways to the ground. The moment it landed to the ground. Cedrick dashed and heavily kicked the body of the wolf.

[You have dealt 260 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 260 damage to the target.]

Due to level suppression, Cedrick's damage was reduced but it was more than enough to finish off the surprised Cyan Wolf Leader.

[The target has died!]

[200 experience has been acquired.]

[You has acquired 5 gold.]

[You have gain Cyan Wolf Leader Fang]

[Level Difference of 10. Exp gain multiplied to 1000%]

[2000 experience has been acquired.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

Cedrick ignored the level up notification and focused on the stiffened wolves. He heavily kicked and punch the remaining wolves to death.

'Sorry. If I leave you alone I'm sure you'll bring me more trouble.'

Cedrick finished the 7 pitiful wolves.

[The target has died!]

[25 experience has been acquired.]

[The target has died!]

[25 experience has been acquired.]

[The target has died!]

[25 experience has been acquired.]

[The target has died!]

After finishing the wolves. Cedrick breathed out of relief.

'Ha! That was scary.'

After relaxing a second Cedrick fell into a deep thought.

'I have killed already and I'm looking at 8 corpse right now but why I am not feeling any disgust towards it?'

Cedrick forgot about the first time he had killed a wolf due to excitement of leveling up but now he realised it he feel something is wrong. As sensing Cedrick was in deep thought, the Wisdom Core gave him an answer.

{Master isn't feeling disgusts towards it due to your Innate skill Immortality, the effects of becoming a Legend, and your trait Cold Blooded to negate the negative feelings of Master.}

'I see.'

After getting the explanation Cedrick no longer wonder about it as it was all good thing.

Cedrick diverted his attention to the level up effects earlier and see the the changes about himself.

'Status!'

Cedrick looked expressionless at the hologram. The character option is as you know, where you can see the changes in the status window. Next is quest, A quest, or mission, that may complete in order to gain a reward. Cedrick looked at the Quests available to him.

Cedrick looked silently for a second at the quest panel especially at the impossible quest.

'The first 2 quest can be accomplish given enough time but the 3rd is very impossible. No it might be possible because I'm a dragon but currently I can't complete this. The rewards so tempting so I should hurry complete this first 2.'

Cedrick eyes stayed like a glue on the 3rd quest unable to avoid it.

'Ah Jeez, With my current strength maybe I can't even touch a hair of the weakest soldier not to mention 2 armies. I should just leave it at is right now so I can harvest this at the future.'

Cedrick inspected the Inventory option to know if it is like the data he got.

Inventory: Can store items endlessly as long as it is not a living being.

It may be simple at first glance but actually it's not.

'Store Item endlessly? Seriously? The inventory is totally limitless?'

Cedrick repeatedly shouted in surprise.

' In games, novel, manga and anime, inventory is always limited in quantity but how come my inventory is not? Am I special? Or the system is just so amazing?'

[Cold-Blooded Activated]

Cedrick felt unexplainable excited but quickly calmed down.

'This will really be a great help to me. Thank you system.'

Cedrick said with gratitude and nodded then opened the map. After studying the names of near villages, town, city, kingdoms and empires. His eyes focused on a single location.

[Lubana Kingdom]

'I wonder if that item is there. The novel didn't specify where that item came from but I hope it is there. Then it's decided.'

'Next destination Lubana Kingdom'

Cedrick looked at it's direction beyond the horizon with eyes filled with determination, anticipation and excited.

As he was lost in thought. He suddenly feel a chill at the back. Cedrick tried to activate Ultimate Foresight but it was late.

[You have suffered 710 damage.]
