[System Syncing Starting.....]

[1%....2%....10%.....12%]

This was what Daniel had heard, and it was familiar to him.

"A system!" Daniel jumped up with his lizard body, shouting with joy. "Got my cheat. It's time to start my journey as a protagonist." His lizard head had a human-like smile.

Daniel sat, watching the progress bar of the system syncing. It seemed that the old geezer didn't forget to give him his cheat. He smiled with joy.

The system interface appeared in front of Daniel, which he wasn't surprised by. As a core hard fan of novels, he was familiar with this and even knew how they operated.

"Greetings, Host. I am the System, designed by the Devouring Dragon God to assist you in the journey of revitalizing the Dragon Clan. You are free to ask any questions pertaining to the world that the System has access to," a melodious female robotic voice followed after the system interface.

Daniel smiled in delight, his lizard face wearing a cheerful expression. The voice of the system was a lady's—it seemed the system was leaning towards a harem system.

"What is the system called?" This was the first question Daniel asked.

"The system isn't named. It is a general system that helps the Host increase their strength," the System replied.

Daniel frowned when he heard this. The system only helps in increasing his strength? Wait, dual cultivating is also a way of increasing one's strength.

He had a wretched smile when he thought of this. "Then support this author in forming his harem."

"It is detected that this isn't part of what the Host requires to get stronger. Therefore, the System cannot help the Host in doing this."

Daniel froze like a statue, his mood plummeting. He knew that old geezer must have told the System not to interfere in this.

He sighed. That would be for later. He would try to corrupt the System into one, he smirked.

"Oh, then, I thought dragons were domineering, majestic beings. They also have antler-like horns, bat-like wings, and their scales shine like the brightest diamonds," Daniel complained.

"Yes, Host is right."

"Then why the hell am I a lizard?" Daniel harrumphed, snorting as he felt angry.

Thinking of himself in this body made him angry and helpless. He had expected to be reborn as a human, but alas...

"Host is not a lizard but a dragon. In order to protect the Host's features and prevent the Host from being killed at an early age, the Dragon God gave you this appearance."

Daniel cursed when he heard this. As expected, it was the work of that old geezer. Hmph!

"When the Host reaches Level 10, the Host will awaken their bloodline at this level, gaining the true appearance of your dragon form."

When Daniel heard this, he calmed down. Now he remembered that the interface showed his bloodline was currently locked, so he understood why he had a lizard form. It seemed, for now, he wasn't a dragon but a mere lizard.

Thinking of this, he had a bad feeling about it. What happened to the dragons that would make the Dragon God hide him like this?

"Well, I'm in this already—in a new world, with a new life," he muttered.

"Speaking of something, can you explain in detail about the world I am in now?" Daniel asked.

"Host is in a world called the Origin Continent. In this world, they make use of an energy called Originat, the fundamental and foundation of all cultivation. It is a world where the strong prey on the weak."

Body Foundation Realm

Origin Foundation Realm

Soul Foundation Realm

Origin Warrior Realm

Origin King Realm

Origin Ancestor Realm

Origin Saint Realm

Origin Emperor Realm

The Supreme Realm

These are the nine realms cultivated in this world, but there is an illustrious tenth realm called the Origin God Realm. However, no one in this realm has been able to reach it, so it has become a mere legend.

Each of these realms is divided into early, middle, and late stages. Every ten levels signify a breakthrough into another realm.

Levels 1-3 signify the early stage of the Body Foundation Realm. This level is where the body undergoes refinement to build a stable foundation for higher levels.

Levels 3-6 signify the middle stage of the Body Foundation Realm.

Levels 6-9 signify the late stage of the Body Foundation Realm.

Level 10 marks the completion of each realm. Reaching this level in every realm sets one's path toward the illustrious tenth realm, the Origin God Realm.

Daniel digested the information the system provided, surprised by these revelations. He also realized that with nine realms, his journey would be long and filled with challenges.

"Wait, then why am I at Level 4?" Daniel noticed the change in his level. He thought he was supposed to start from Level 0.

"By consuming your eggshell, your level and stats increased. Originally, all your stats were 15, except for your intelligence, which was 20. Now, every small level you cross grants you 2 free stat points to all stats, while crossing a major level grants you 4 free stat points."

The system explained in detail. Daniel now understood how this world worked.

He also asked why he hadn't received any skills yet. He remembered that he had requested a summoning skill from the Dragon God, who had promised him a skill that would allow him to summon Dragonoids.

"Or did I get scammed?" Daniel thought.

The system explained that he would gain access to the Devouring Dragon's knowledge and his skill only upon reaching Level 10.

He sighed. He had to level up to Level 10 first.

"Oh, wait, do you have something called a Spiritual Body?" Daniel asked sheepishly.

"Yes. Does the Host wish to see it?"

"Of course!" Daniel grinned. He couldn't wait to see what the system's spirit looked like. Being the first female entity he had encountered, he hoped she would be a Lust Spirit.

A glowing bulb of light appeared in front of him, and a miniature human began forming.

Finally, the light completed its transformation, revealing its true form.

As for Daniel, he rubbed his lizard claws together in anticipation, eager to see the system's beauty.

But when he laid his eyes on the system's body—he froze in utter shock.
