Pov Meilin:
When I came out of that place, I could observe how Illios was sitting together with the strange maid waiting for me.
"That's pretty convenient," I thought.
If you really take into account how long I was trying to defeat the outsider, you'll realize that I spent at least 1 hour in that place, so the fact that Illios is here shows that he takes my presence seriously.
"What do you know about the dungeons?" I asked him.
Although I had to go to a dungeon to claim that strange technique that allowed me to transform into a human-dragon hybrid, I had no idea what this "dungeon" consisted of, although I have some ideas.
"A dungeon is a place that is divided into floors, and in each floor you can find various creatures and ecosystems. Also, every 5 floors there are usually bosses," he answered me.
Fully analyzing, the dungeon is basically a place like the Tower of Legends I already knew, but this "dungeon" possesses outsider creatures.
"How powerful was their clan to be able to create such an artifact," I ended up pondering.
You should know that although there are some lost Draconic artifacts, since the ancient war against the outsiders, all the surviving clans pooled most of their treasures for the creation of a great empire.
There were even ancient immortals who left some artifacts of the fallen clans written down for recovery. These include many types of artifacts with different uses.
But there has not been something similar to the Tower of Legends, denoting that the clan Illios and his sister descended from was powerful enough to hide such an artifact.
"Well, how many times can I try," I asked, most importantly.
It is essential to know, for if it can only be attempted once every 100 years, I should prepare more adequately.
"Ten a day? I honestly don't know," but his answer surprised me.
You should know that the reason the Tower of Legends is so limited is that it requires a lot of energy to function, so the fact that I can enter an incredibly similar place, so many times in a decade already indicates how incredible it is.
"Our descendants will be gods compared to normal generations if this artifact is used," that was what I ended up thinking.
Although I still don't know what the characteristic of Illios' clan is, it's just a matter of awakening it and I'll know. But what I am sure of is that our children will be very strong.
This place gives you a huge advantage compared to traditional training, as you can challenge your limits without worrying about dying or suffering permanent damage, and the best part is that your mental state is not affected either.
If you give such an artifact to a young dragon, it will undoubtedly become their favorite toy, due to the fact that we are generally quite aggressive in our early years.
Even I get excited about the fact that I get to go in daily....
"I'll be here for a while, so you're dismissed," I told Illios so he wouldn't wait for me.
Although my original intention was to slowly seduce Illios using my beauty, that ability I saw will surely give me a huge advantage compared to other dragons, such as my siblings or generational rivals.
[Classic Dungeon: Draconian Life.
Description: A place where you can find various biomes where the descendants of the mythical dragons abound and even, if you are strong enough, you can face them!
Restrictions: No weapons, no heavy armor, no external energy other than magic.]
"Enter."
Immediately, my eyesight twisted and when my eyes were able to focus, I could see that I was in a mysterious cave.
As I was about to take a step to enter this place, the following message appeared.
[It is detected that the player does not possess any magic circle, would you like to adapt your body to receive it?]
"Magic circle? Hmmm, I guess it's the outsider cultivation system. I wonder if it can be learned without any problem?"
The cultivation method of the outsiders would be of great use if I can learn it, since they use different world laws than those in the immortal world, making certain artifacts specializing in spiritual energy useless. Also.
"If that rainbow bitch finds out about this place, I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate to procreate with Illios and obtain a way to surpass me," that's what came to my mind, my rival.
Basically, a dragon that can use all the elements as his clan's characteristic, but unfortunately I'm the only one she can't defeat, since I'm immune to her attacks and her physical strength isn't the best, so to speak.
"Accept."
When I pressed "Accept"....
"HAAAAAAAAA", a sudden pain arose in my heart.
This process was as if someone was employing their hands to mold something inside my chest, precisely in my heart.
This lasted for about 5 minutes, but it felt very horrible.
[Process finished, player is in magic circle 0, fraction 0].
[Complete all floors to get fractions to increase your magic circles!]
I didn't bother to look at this message and examined myself.
In my heart, there was a faint circle glowing softly golden, quite strange, but I could feel a familiar feeling similar to the one I experienced when I faced that outsider dragon.
It was the energy contained in that circle, but mine was far inferior.
"Well, I'm just starting out in this method, so it's only natural."
I walked forward and found a simple sword, so I picked it up. It should be known that my body currently has no spiritual energy, thanks to the dungeon rules.
My footsteps echo in the dark stone corridor as I cautiously advance through the second floor of "Draconian Life". Flickering torches barely illuminate my path, leaving dancing shadows that seem to stalk me. The air is charged with a musty, earthy scent, mixed with a faint burning odor.
A high-pitched, ominous shriek pierces the silence, and suddenly I find myself surrounded by small, green, grotesque silhouettes. They are the goblins, according to what I saw earlier on that board; nasty, mischievous creatures wielding rusty daggers and sporting malicious smiles. Their glowing eyes flash with mischief as they prepare for combat.
"They are very ugly, but not very threatening."
Wielding my sword firmly, I face the goblins. Their numbers are overwhelming, but I do not allow them to intimidate me. I dodge their quick and cunning attacks, counterattack with precision and force. Every blow I land seems to instantly defeat those dwarves.
"As I thought, they are very weak. Even without spiritual energy, my physical power is still there."
Finally, the last goblin falls before me, without any particular emotion. However, I know that my path is still full of surprises, so I proceed cautiously into an adjacent room and there I encounter something that makes me take a step back: the large fire-spewing rats.
"Dragon blood...".
That's how I feel about these rats, as I usually wouldn't bother with these rodents.
These monstrous creatures rear up on their hind legs, showing their imposing size. Their eyes glow with menacing fire, and their gaping mouths spit fiery flames. The roars they emit echo down the corridor, filling the air with a terrifying sound.
Dodging the tongues of flame they hurl at me, I look for the right moment to strike back. As my sword finds its target, the smell of burning fur mingles with the air. The large rats fight fiercely, but with each well-aimed blow, I feel their strength instantly decimate.
"I won't let them touch me with that fire" I thought.
This is obviously to avoid accumulating minor injuries that will later become a problem later on.
Finally, the last large rat falls defeated, and I take a moment to catch my breath. Silence settles in the dungeon, interrupted only by my own agitated breathing.
I continue to explore the second floor of "Draconian Life," the echoes of my victory echoing with every step I take. As I venture deeper into the dungeon, I am prepared to face whatever challenges this mysterious place throws at me.

Pov Illios:
"Haaa, let's just wait for her to leave," I said, hoping that this princess would leave my mansion.
After saying goodbye to the dragon princess, I went to relax in my room, with Mery massaging my back to relieve my tension.
"The young master seems interested in that princess," Mery said in a neutral tone, but applying more force in the massage.
"There is something about her that catches my attention," I said in a serious manner, although deep down I still remember that message.
[Bloodline: Absolute Dragon is being stimulated].
"Not even Elena has captivated this bloodline, and she is also a carrier."
This phenomenon is quite curious, as I didn't know that you could externally stimulate a bloodline, or rather, have other individuals do so.
"I wonder what will happen to me if it is stimulated to the maximum."
My instincts tell me it won't be anything bad, but they also warn me that something inside me will change a lot.
"Let's just wait for that woman to leave and play in the dungeon for a while."
