it has been some hours since i begin actively absorbing magic power.
i really need to open my dungeon soon, but i have to hold on for now.
now is the time to inspect myself and know what i am capable of.
i move away from Dungeon Core and sit on nearby couch. then i begin to inspect my own body.
first of all, my body is scally. the scale on my body is quite small but a bit thick. like a fish scale but stacked until it is quite thick. my side and back is covered in darker blue colored scale while my front side is covered in lighter blue color. I have fingers on my hands and feet, and all limbs have sharp claws. the claw is a bit long but it is retractable so i can still form a punch without injuring my palm. unfortunately i don't have any mirror so i cannot really see how my face look like.
for my body shape, i am quite tall and thin. i am tall enough that my head almost scrape on this room ceiling. i am also quite thin but not like a skeleton, maybe two or three times thicker than skeleton but i am sure there not enough meat that cover my bone. my feet is shaped more like a bird than humanoid. my limbs is also somewhat longer than normal. i also have a tail. it is long and flexible that i can roll it on my arm with ease.
in short, my body is scally, tall, and long.
i think the thin part is the side effect for having elven body, while the long limbs is the side effect of dragon body.
satisfied with understanding my own physic, i goes outside to climb above my current room. i go into the tip of my current sky scrapper building.
the wind is quite harsh in here but nothing that my body can't handle.
i need to understand my magical and physical prowess, and for that i need extra open space. this rooftop is the best open space i can have.
first lets begin with physical.
i form a boxing stance and try to do air boxing a few times. i can feel strength on my muscle. it is strong and flexible. then i also try some kicks and it feels great. of course my pose is not the best one, but at least i know that my punches and kicks can deal some damage.
i also tried to do some whip like attack with my tail. at first i done it clumsily that i hurt my own tail. but after a few more try and a bit of body twist, i can produce an air snapping effect using my tail whip. i think i can break a few bones with this move.
then i try to do some body posture, to see how flexible i am. bending my body back and try to fold my body in two. since my body is quite long, my feet is easily stay while my upper body folded down. then i also try to twist my body left and right and find out that i can twist my upper body almost 180 degree.
satisfied with my flexibility and strength, i relaxed my body and calm my mind.
it is time to test my magic.
for magic test, i try to do the same like when i do Active Absorption for my dungeon.
the difference is now i can have a more relaxed form, instead of standing with my arms stretching in from of me.
i sit down while cross my long legs and put my long arms on my thigh.
i take a deep and relaxing breath and begin to focus. trying to feel magic power around me.
this time i have it quite easy. since i already experience it once when absorbing for my dungeon.
i begin to slowly absorb magic power in the air around me into my body core. i can feel the magic power enter my body through my pore with ease. almost like there is no resistance at all. i also can feel my brain working flawlessly, helping me unconsciously absorbing magic power into my body.
after some time of meditating, i stop absorbing magic power.
now i want to try my magic skill.
sadly there is nothing like guide book or anything with similar function near me. so i can only try whatever it is that pop up in my mind.
first magic! lifting item to the air without touching it.
there are some pieces of broken roof around me here. so i try to move my magic power from inside my core and make it lift up a pebble.
this action, though successful, waste quite some of my power. maybe because i don't have so much magic power for now, or maybe my method is wrong. sadly i cannot confirm it for now. then i try a few more time until my magic power is drained. then i go back to meditation to refill my magic power.
my conclusion on magic is, my body and mind is very much talented in magic. it just i don't have enough information about using it. and probably doing it in the wrong way.
but i am satisfied. my body is wonderful and strong.
i offer my thanks to Mother of Dungeon, for granting me this wonderful body.
"i am glad you like your new body, Argholas.
keep on getting stronger and make me proud"
said a heavenly sound from above.
i am glad to hear your voice again, o Great Mother of Dungeon.
but.... Argholas? is that my name?
