Sam was standing on top of the hill looking downwards with a sad expression.
What am I getting myself into. I want to be human again. I am done being a dragon. What's so good about being a mortal dragon anyway? I was born in core formation realm in my second life.
[You can't ridicule your own race.]
When I ridicule myself you are there to speak on behalf of the whole dragon race but what about the benefits of being dragon. You have took them all away.
[...]
See that. Why am I even arguing with you.
Sigh~ being born as a mortal dragon with useless system is very taxing to mind. If any passing by dragon sees me it will kill me with it's stare saying why are you imitating my mighty dragon race.
When Sam was talking to himself he suddenly saw a black dot enlarging on the sky from corner of his eye. When he turned to looked at the dot he was dumbstruck. It was a eagle with golden feathers on it's wing. It's wings were several meter long. It was five meter tall in height. It had sharp talons which were reflecting sunlight making it glow. It was even looking towards him. He could feel the pressure of peak rank 3 for first time in his three life.
The sun is indeed larger than the past. What am I even thinking, I must be suffering from one of those foolish protagonist syndrome. This is clearly side effect of system. I have to run if I don't want to become eagle food. Sam immediately fled downwards without caring about the eagle. Who will waste time to look behind to check if eagle has reached near me or not. He didn't stopped running until he was tired. Why am I tired so fast. Aren't dragon supposed to be fast and agile and fly in sky.
System why am I crawling even though I am a dragon and if you want to give answer as you aren't supposed to be a dragon. So your flight is also taken away to make you equal to mortal then don't utter a sound.
[....]
I knew it, you are one of those useless system. Hey is there someone from quality department, I am being deceived. I want my original system which I was supposed of having. Someone gave me a duplicate system.
( Mouth of the man who was watching Sam while leisurely sitting on his throne twitched when he heard what Sam was saying."Control, control this may be side effect of seal on his soul" This man was the one who gave Sam system.)
[Host isn't capable of flying because host hasn't reached Nascent soul realm which is equivalent of rank 5 beasts. All true dragon are at rank 5 when they are born. So, they can fly.]
Ohh, so that's the reason. You had give me a logical explanation for the first time. Sam turned back to look how far he had gotten away from eagle. The eagle had actually flied past him and had already made some distance between them. "Did you have to look me like a prey if you were just going to fly past me." Sam shouted looking towards the eagle but when eagle looked back towards him he immediately turned his head away like he was looking at something else.
The eagle was speechless. Did this beast had mental problem. He was the lord of this jungle. He was patrolling his territory and looked towards Sam because he had never saw a creature like Sam. Why would he, a rank 3 beast eat initial stage rank 1 beast as a food. The eagle made a mental note to punish Sam when he was strong enough to handle the punishment. He was definitely going to make Sam's life difficult.
That eagle felt very scary. Why am I feeling pressure from beasts with lower bloodline?
[Your dragon aura is sealed.]
You are a useless system. I really had bad luck that day.I will definitely have to stay away from the eagle in the future. After cursing the eagle for few times Sam started to check the surrounding. He had just fled from top of hill to save himself from that scary eagle. He didn't even know where he was. After looking he didn't find any animals and birds near him.
Phew, there is nothin-
*Hiss*
He suddenly saw a green streak coming toward him. His instinct was telling him to quickly dodge it. He used all of his might and jumped towards his right. He barely missed the green streak. After the green streak landed he finally saw that it was a snake with green scales covering it body. It had a fierce vertical eyes which is typical of reptiles. It was about three feet in length, little smaller than him. It was looking towards him with ferocious gaze. It again snap toward Sam in order to bite him. Sam again used his agile body to dodge it. When the snake's fang was just few centimeters away from him he immediately bit the snake in its neck severing its head from its body. The body of snake was still moving after being severed.
[Middle stage rank 1 beast killed]
Ewe, now I have to eat these things everyday. Bodies covered in blood, stomachs and intestine coming out of it. At least this snake has its full body intact.
Weren't you the one attacking me now see who is dead now. This is the result of attacking a mighty dragon Muhahaha~
Ouch! When Sam was poking the head of the snake with his claws the snake bite him on his toes.
[Host is poisoned.]
Wasn't it dead how can it poison me. It had died for sure.
[Some snake can bite even after dying because their neurons still remains active and commands it to bite]
How can I eat if it continues to bite me. How am I gong to treat this poison now. System can you expel the poison from my body.
[Host can increase poison resistance by eating the snake and absorbing it's bloodline.]
Yes, why didn't I think about it. It was written in status and there was also a bloodline there. I didn't cared about it because of all those zeros. So, I can absorb bloodline and make me into a strong dragon with no weakness. So cool, I felt that this system is real for the first time I reincarnated.
(that muscular man's mouth twitched again 'This is your first day how can you say it is first time after I reincarnated as if you had system for few years.')
[Host cannot mix all the bloodline because opposite elements like water and fire my cause host body burst if host tries to become invincible by mixing all bloodlines carelessly. Host also has to know that system will not combine the bloodline which aren't strong or if it doesn't belong to mythical beasts.]
I cannot be invincible by combing all existing bloodlines. But in the novels I read the MCs are able to use more than one element and non-human MCs use opposing elements.
[It is because they maintain a state of balance between them. If host can also balance the opposing elements then there will be no problem.]
[Host's poison is worsening.]
Why do I always distract in important time. I will have to quickly finish eating this snake to be safe from this poison. Sam chewed the snake for few times and directly gobbled it. This way I will not have to care about it's taste. Now, only head remains. He used his sharp claw to divide the head of snake into two and chewed it for nearly for minute.
This is for safety. What if it suddenly bites me inside my stomach.
[Bloodline analysed]
[Common green snake, bloodline skills extracted:
1.Poison resistance lv.1
2.Bind lv.1
3.Poison gland]
Sam's body began to cover in light green snake for few seconds before it faded. He also felt that something was different about upper floor of his mouth. After touching it with his tongue he felt a little mound and his canine teeth seems to have become hollow with tiny hole on it connecting it with the slight bulge on his upper floor of his mouth.
I think I developed poison gland after system analysed and gave me its bloodline ability.

I indeed have poison gland now. I have gained so much just from the first prey. I am looking forward to my bright future. Look out for me world I am going to be king of pirates.
Eh, no I was supposed to say another dialogue. I am going to be great dragon overlord who decides the life and death of all creatures. Sam was laughing like a psycho looking towards the sky.
"It is definitely the side effect of sealing his soul." the man sitting on the throne had strange expression on his face which was difficult to tell.
The eagle which was observing Sam from the highest peak of the valley was looking towards him in amazement. Nowadays even rank 1 beats have managed to awaken intelligence with mental problems.
