Roar
A loud roar could be heard in the distance, shocking the ground and sending beasts of all kinds fleeing in terror.
"What was that sound?" Ju Xiao wondered as he slowly opened his eyes, attempting to stand up but finding this simple task difficult.
Looking down with his eyes fully opened, Ju Xiao felt his heart tighten, and his hands appeared larger with scales and claws, wanting answers. Ju Xiao walked forward with his four limbs towards a puddle, where he saw an unusual sight.
His human form vanished, replaced by a silver-scaled giant lizard with wings and horns and purple eyes, a dragon.
Seeing this, Ju Xiao felt an unusual calm in himself as his mind raced at inhumane speeds to make sense of the current situation.
After a few minutes of contemplation, he spoke in his mind, hesitantly, from his heart.
"Status"When he said this, a blue holographic screen appeared in front of Ju Xiao.

"Did I transmigrate into another world? This is truly strange; how and why did I come into this world?" Ju Xiao wondered to himself. This world appeared to be one of magic and monsters, which most people with even the smallest amount of common sense could see as a major flaw in Ju Xiao's current circumstances.
Because information was scarce, Ju Xiao accepted his current situation, which he found strange at first.
"I need information about this place," he thought as he stretched his dragonic body, first his hands, then his legs, wings, and tail, gradually becoming more accustomed to them and learning how they operate.
Ju Xiao soon began walking through the dense forest, looking up at the dense and tall tree leaves and branches that prevented flight.
roar
Ju Xiao, who was now lost in thought, heard the sound of a creature roaring nearby.
Without hesitation, he quickened his pace and moved towards the sound. Soon, he found himself in a clear area devoid of dense trees and cover. In front of him was a group of 10-17 creatures that appeared to be a mix of a boar and wolf, about three meters tall with blue sturdy skin, and they were apparently feeding on a herd of silver dear.
They suddenly looked at Ju Xiao, their mouths still covered in fresh blood, and their red eyes appeared crazed as if they were in a frenzy, charging towards Ju Xiao without regard for the obvious size difference.
RoarWhen Ju Xiao saw this, he did not try to flee, but instead waited calmly, fouRTU meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, and ten meters.
Bam
Ju Xiao, who had been waiting patiently, stricked his tail as soon as the boar-wolf approached, instantly crunching their skulls and leaving a bloody mess behind.
When the remaining boar-wolves saw this, they slowly began to walk backwards before changing their movement to a sprint, leaving their dead comrades behind, their accumulated bloodlust vanishes as they saw the power of a dragon.
Ju Xiao, seeing this, could not help but marvel at his strength while looking around at the dead boar-wolf corpses. Ju Xiao, who had his first kill, walked towards the corpses of the boar-wolves and used his right claw to pick one up, devouring it instantly.
After doing so, he felt a warm sensation enter his body as a sweet and lightly salted taste was left in his mouth, and his body swelled with strength as he began to see blue particles in the air.
[You consumed a rank 1 core.]
[Your body has begun to undergo qualitative changes]
[Congratulations Your rank has risen from 0 to 1.]
[Your mana density and mass have increased as a result of your bloodline].
[Due to your bloodline, you have learned the spells windblade, glide, water ball, water blade, hypnosis, and shooting star.]
[You now have the ability to create magic circles.]
[You have acquired the skill of magic creation]
[Due to your pure dragon lineage you have gained extensive knowledge in the Field of magic]
[Your first class has been automatically changed to draconic mage because of your draconic bloodline.]
[You have acquired the skill of automatic mana recovery.]
Ju Xiao was overjoyed as his strength increased; he now understood what mana was and how it worked on a fundamental level in relation to affinity particles and natural affinity.
It appeared in this world that there were tens, if not hundreds, of magical affinitys. These affinitys could be divided into two groups. The first type of affinity was affinity with natural particles, which were naturally occurring in the world and could be increased in rank by absorbing particles from the environment. The second type of affinity was non-natural particular affinity, which did not have natural particles in the environment and could only be increased in rank by using special stones or plants, some of which required understanding.
Then there was the most important thing: one's rank. One's rank was the foundation of their growth, with an increase in ranks allowing one to leave longer and have more mana. To increase one's rank, one needed a lot of mana, and the amount of mana required increased several times with each rank increase.
Ju Xiao, now enlightened about the complexities of this world's magic, sighed and began to think.
Magic is complex, unlike what one would expect. To cast a simple spell, one must first create a magic circle in their mind and then important it into reality. After that, they must outline parameters and layers in their magic circle to increase range, damage, activation speed, or duel casting. With each layer, one must use their mind to create the appropriate formula to not disturb the prior existing layer.
Ju Xiao was not disappointed when he realized that this rule for magic was given to all creatures, but not all creatures were equal. For example, dragons were naturally gifted with magic and had hyper perception and brains that operated more than twenty times faster than humans, with different variants of dragons being able to think faster, the knowledge dragon being in the top five, and an adult knowledge dragon being able to think more than ten thousand times faster.
With this thought in mind, Ju Xiao quickly went around and collected the remaining five corps of boar-wolves, devouring them all.
[You have consumed a rank 1 core]
[You have consumed a rank 1 core]
[You have consumed a rank 1 core]
[You have consumed a rank 1 core]
[You have consumed a rank 1 core]
Ju Xiao felt a warm sensation enter his body again, but this time he used his perception to see his inner self. Inside his body was a white orbe that constantly absorbed white light from the outside; this was his mana core. Because he was a dragon, he did not have to constantly refine his core; instead, he only had to consume cores that were automatically absorbed and refined at lower levels.
Ju Xiao, who was now satisfied, checked his status screen once more.

looking at his status screen Ju Xiao felt pride in his heart as he closed the blue holographic screen and extended his wings, flapping them slowly and taking to the sky as he spoke.
"My goal now is to collect information about this place and the creatures that live here."
