[The system has integrated with the host by 3%. But what is this new feature? I'll discover it later. For now, I must absorb the magical power of three individuals.]
[Name: Feros
Age: 16 years
Magical Power: Weak
Magical Energy: 2
Magic Type: Unknown
Special Ability: Magic Absorption Level 1 (Active)]
[I gained two points in magical energy after activating the Magic Absorption ability.]
[How can I use this ability?]
[To use the Magic Absorption ability, you need sufficient magical power and magical energy to absorb the target.]
[Hm, I understand now.]
{In the Dark Bone Arena, all sons and daughters above 16 years old gather to discover their unique magic type.}
A girl approaches.
Velina: [You bastard, how dare you come here after your father abandoned you and you stole resources from your little sister?]
[Feros thinks: I have some memories about this, but I shouldn't cause trouble right now.]
[Feros: Hello, Sixth Sister Velina. Why all the hatred? I was just borrowing some help from my little sister, and of course, I will return it.]
Velina: [Do you think I'm a fool to believe you? You're just a scoundrel. Anyway, after you fail this trial, you won't be protected by the guards, and I can kill you easily. I'll consider your heart a good compensation for my little sister.]
[Name: Velina, Sixth Daughter of the Thirteenth Ruler
Age: 32 years
Magical Power: 5
Magical Energy: 27
Magic Type: Flames
Special Ability: Friend of the Fire Spirits (Inactive)]
[Feros: Sixth Sister, we'll see if I can enter the academy first. I think you shouldn't be here with those who are about to take the trial.]
Velina: [Fine, I'll go, but don't think you can escape from me.]
[Feros thinks: System, can I absorb her power?]
[You need 4 points of magical power and Level 2 of Magic Absorption ability to ensure a 100% success rate.]
[Feros: I mentioned before that I have coins. What can I do with them?]
[Coins: 1
Points: 0
Wheel of Fortune: 1]
[Coins can be used in the store for purchases, and points can be used to increase attributes like energy, power, etc.]
[Magical Power: Weak
Magical Energy: 2
Speed: 3
Endurance: 1
Physical Strength: 5
Intelligence: 5]
[Skills:
Dragon Transformation (Increases size, physical strength, and energy accumulation speed)
Dragon Eyes (Makes magical beasts submit to you)]
[These two skills are common among all dragons, and as you grow older, you gain additional dragon skills. They are naturally possessed by all dragons.]
[Feros: What is this Wheel of Fortune? Activate it now; let's see if I'm lucky in this world.]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the skill "Situational Adaptation."]
[Feros is shocked. (A useless skill...)]
{The trial begins. The first participant steps forward, and their result is decent. The ranking board is arranged so that the strongest individuals appear at the end while some weaker ones go first to boost morale. The process continues until only five participants remain.}
[Feros thinks: What should I do now? If I fail this test, I will no longer be protected, and all the problems caused by the previous owner of this body with the other dragons will become my responsibility. I need to act. Since I am now in this body, there's no point in thinking about it without finding a solution.]
{Three participants remain. The trial official calls for the Seventh Son of the Thirteenth Ruler.}
[Feros steps onto the platform where a massive stone tablet emits an overwhelming magical energy, preparing to assess his qualifications.]
[There is a target available for absorption.]
[Feros: What? I can absorb magical artifacts too? But what if someone notices?]
[If you control the energy properly, no one will notice. However, if you fail to control it and the energy leaks from your body, they will discover that it came from the stone tablet.]
[The energy within the stone tablet begins to flow into Feros's body.]
[Do you wish to activate Magic Absorption?]
[Feros hesitates. He starts feeling the energy measurement process ending, and the energy is about to leave his body.]
[Use it now.]
[Upon activating the ability, a vast amount of energy surges from the stone tablet. The stronger an individual is, the more energy the stone requires to measure them.]
[After absorbing a large amount of energy, everyone is shocked—an immense surge of energy erupts from the stone tablet.]
[Failed to control the energy...
Your magical energy will soon explode from your body.]
[Feros tries to stop the Magic Absorption ability, but the process is too fast. His body now contains an uncontrollable amount of energy.]
[The trial official notices Feros struggling to control his energy and attempts to assist by injecting his own energy into him.]
[If the trial official injects his energy into you, he will discover the truth...
This will be your end.]
[Wait for the next chapter... ^^]

{Power System in the World of Drakthia}
1- [Magic]
Magical power, also known as magic circles. To advance to the next level of magical power, 5 additional points of magical energy are required. This is the norm for most dragons and other species.
But some exceptional individuals can store up to 10 points of energy in one point of magical power. To break through each level of magical power, you must reach the maximum energy capacity. When your magical energy is filled to the capacity of your magical power, you can then break through to a new level of magical power—though not everyone can achieve this breakthrough.
There are different types of magic, and generally, a person uses only one type. But there are exceptions to this rule...
2- [Swordmasters - Magical Swordsmen]
Individuals who wield swords, or sometimes both swords and magic. However, balancing both forces within their bodies and developing them simultaneously becomes more challenging. The same applies to other weapons.
(More details will be explained in the future...)
3- [Martial Artists]
Individuals who use their bodies and fists in combat, often enhanced by magic. They possess great physical strength.
[These are the common types of power among dragons.]
(More types of power will be explained when they appear...)
