A girl on her teens was holding a sword covered in blood. She was crying while looking towards the boy who was standing in front of her. This boy was Sam who died with the girl who was standing in front of him.
"Why are you crying? It's not your fault. Remember one thing I can't die. I have told you before you can't kill me. I will born once again and meet you again. You will have to wait for sometime. Next time no one can separate us." Sam was comforting her. " I know why you did this. But, sad news is that you were still foolish enough to believe him. Let me take away the poison with me but our child will not survive. Maybe we can't become parents again."
The girl who was standing in front of Sam was shocked then grieved. She hugged dying Sam and cried.
" I, Shyam( Shyam is Sanskrit name unlike Sam. Both is pronounced same.) will come again in immortal world. Listen, one who is arrogant enough to call himself Kaal( death) remember I will come again. I will get revenge for what you did." Sam's voice could be heard everywhere in immortal world. Sam used his last bit of strength to forcefully extract poison from his wife's body.
" You played with the wrong man Kaal. I am the controller of fate. You have dared to challenge fate. I who am the controller fate can't be killed. I will return again. I am Sam, I will become your fate. I am fate itself." Sam lost all of his strength. Sam soul leaved Sam's body and returned to wheel of reincarnation.
"Stop, bring that soul with me." King Yama himself came and took away Sam's soul. " So you are the one. You can keep your memory but all of your dao comprehension will be taken away. This is how Dao acts. I can't do anything about it. May you have a good life." then King Yama started to laugh. The laugh seems somewhat evil but some what holy. Sam's then disappeared from King Yama's hand.
When Sam's soul was being dragged into the darkness devoid of any light he kept hearing inaudible strange voice.
[Initiating system]
[Creating body for the host]
[Error...
[Error... Host's soul is too powerful to sustain in current body]
[Adjusting host's body according to his soul]
[Creating body stopped on command of system creator]
[Recreating host's body as per system creator's order]
Sam who dragged into the darkness suddenly began to feel his body. His body felt familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. He couldn't point out but he felt that his body was strange. When he tried to move his hand he felt something. His hand seems to touch a wall. He started to move his hand up and down, left and right. He tried to move his leg but his leg were also touching the wall. His whole body couldn't move properly and was bounded within the wall. After thinking carefully he came to a conclusion.
I am definitely inside a egg. I was born with golden spoon in second life what will I get this time. I might not get anything too. It's not certain anyways. He pushed the wall of the egg with his full might but it didn't even budge. He then tried to scratch the egg to see if it will tear. A small hole was created when he tried to tear the egg with his hand(claw). Light could be seen on the other side of the egg. After some difficulty Sam finally managed to come out from the egg. After coming out he saw himself on the top of a hill.
When he looked at himself he was shocked. He couldn't believe his own eyes. He saw a snake like body which was covered in scales. The scales were light green. He had four limbs with three claws. He had a long head with horns and whiskers and fish like tail. "I never thought I will be a reincarnated as a dragon. This isn't bad for starting." when he was checking himself he heard a voice which he heard when his soul was leaving his body.

[Welcome host]
Huh, what was that. I just heard a voice in my head ,is it one of the system mentioned in anime and webnovels. It looks like not only i reincarnated as a dragon I was even given a system. My third life has more golden fingers than second life. But nothing can compare with the talent i had in my second life.
Sigh Now that I have a system I should look my status first. I will definitely have some good skills and stats since I am a dragon.
"System show me my status"
Name: Sam
Race : Dragon: Three clawed dragon
Cultivation: Initial stage of rank 1
Bloodline:(Can absorb bloodline)
[Imperial Void dragon(0.000001%)]
Bloodline ability:
Dragon scale
Dragon claw
Skills:
[Scratch lv.1]
[Bite lv.1]
[Tail whip lv.1]
Skill points: 0
Sam had his mouth wide open when he saw his own status. He didn't wanted to believe what he was seeing. A dragon was at initial rank 1. This was the funniest joke since the start of universe. If someone from dragon clan sees this the person who was toying with Sam will be made into enemy of whole clan.
I think someone is joking with me. This system maybe a illusion. I haven't offended anyone who is proficient enough to trap me in illusion.
"Who is doing this to me." Sam shouted but he didn't heard anything.
[This isn't illusion. This is real. Well, the stats are like this because you were supposed to start from lowest point and gradually develop into a dragon. Because of your powerful soul you were made into a dragon.]
What lowest point? Sam's face darkened. He had heaven defying talent in his second life and this was supposed to be his third life. There was no one in immortal who was his match. The Kaal was able to kill him due to his cunningness. Why are you doing this? You know that rank 1 is not the starting point. It is only made to increase the the strength of mortals to make their strong enough to hold and practice Dao.
[You will know in near future.]
How can someone suppress a powerful soul on a "first mortal dragon ever" 's body?
[System creator is omnipotent]
....
OK fine. Now tell what am I supposed to do now.
[You only have to focus on cultivation.]
That's easy. Then, can you tell me where am I?
[You are currently in mortal world 'Earth'.]
Why am I even in earth. There aren't any thing that can harm a dragon in earth anyway. How can I even cultivate in earth there isn't Qi.
Wait a minute, there is Qi on earth and why is it so thin.
[You are in earth because earth is going to face danger soon. Your all time enemy is going to conquer earth.]
He is here?
[How can he be here. You have zero knowledge outside cultivation.]
What do you mean?
[Earth is a mortal world so he can't come here. Only beings within or below rank 5 can come here.]
Since, how many years Qi was in earth?
[Qi appeared after your death.]
Are there still human in earth or beasts have conquered it.
[There are humans on earth.]
What? it has already been a century. Then, humans must have developed various sci-fi equipment. May be I can also use them since I am human.
Huh, what happened to me? I felt strange just a moment ago.
Then, System when can i transform into human form?
[You can transfer into human after reaching rank 5 which is also equal to martial realm.]
What realm is martial realm? I never heard of it.
[You are even ignorant of this. Cultivation is basically divided into mortal, martial and immortal realm.
Mortal realm is divided into:
-Body refining
-Qi condensing
-Foundation establishing
-Core formation realm
After that is martial realm]
How can I cultivate then. Do I have to cultivate like human or dragons.
[You have to cultivate in dragon's method. The method of dragon is more powerful than humans because dragon is considered as mythical beast and can cultivate by eating food contained with Qi and vitality and also use dragon clan's cultivation technique.]
I already know that. So, are you going to provide me cultivation method of dragon or I have to cultivate same way human do.
[You will cultivate in dragon's way but even a baby dragon is at least on rank 5. So, you will have to wait until you become rank 5 to cultivate in dragon clan's cultivation technique.]
So I have to cultivate in same way humans do before rank 5.
[Yes]
OK, I will start right away.
I can't cultivate. How am I going to cultivate in dragon's body. They have entirely different meridian than humans.
[You can't cultivate in humans method. You can increase your rank by eating other beats or by continuously absorbing Qi from air. A beasts body absorbs Qi automatically. So, you don't have to worry about it.]
It will take years to reach rank 5 with this method and I don't have time.
[Then you can increase your cultivation by eating other beast's meat. Beasts not only increase Qi but also their vitality through cultivation. So, their method is little slow.]
What I don't have is time and now I have to deal with all of this. Can my body handle Qi?
[Yes, your body can handle Qi.]
So, it can. What is my affinity?
[Your affinity is with thunder.]
Thunder? I don't know a thing about thunder. I will have to start everything from scratch then. You must have done to make my cultivation slow right?
[....]
I knew it you can only show status and delay all my progress. You must be one of those useless system. Who gave me this useless system. My head is hurting thinking about it.
No, something isn't right. I feel something has happened to my mental capacity. Is this also your work. You made my intelligence equal to beasts too.
[..]
I can't help but think I must be extremely unlucky to have you.
