As night fell, Erlan began to adapt to his new body. A familiar voice resonated in his mind as the system revealed new features for survival and power enhancement:
"Lord Erlan, as an ∞ Element entity, your task is to bring balance to this world. To achieve this, you must rebuild the dragon empire and train your followers."
The system introduced several functionalities:
Stat Enhancement: Allocating experience points to upgrade specific attributes.
Summoning: Calling forth dragons of lower classes to form an army.
Crafting: Creating weapons and artifacts using rare materials.
Eager to test the system, Erlan activated Summon Dragon for the first time. A luminous portal materialized, releasing three unique dragons:
Nixara (Ice Dragon - Unique Class): A graceful female dragon with crystalline wings capable of freezing anything within range.
Vulkrad (Magma Dragon - Mythic Class): A massive dragon with molten scales radiating searing heat.
Zephyros (Wind Dragon - Heroic Class): A swift dragon that commands storms and tempests.
With this trio at his side, Erlan began constructing his first stronghold in a mountainous region. Throughout the process, they faced relentless assaults from orc hordes, undead creatures, and even elven forest guardians mistaking them for threats.
