Chapter Two: Dragon Evolution System + Witchcraft Inscriptions

Loya did not linger; he turned and walked into the dense jungle.

"system."

Loya called out softly.

[Ding dong, Dragon Evolution System activated!!!]

A beautiful female voice appeared in Loya's mind, followed by a virtual information page unfolding in his mind.

[Host: Loya]

[Race: Green Dragon Beast]

[First Stage - Evolution Path...] (Less than 100 Extraordinary Energy Coins required to open the Bloodline Gene Bank)

[Realm Level: Iron Level 1]

[Remaining Extraordinary Energy Coins: 0]

...

"This gift prepared for the Dragon Emperor is quite suitable for me in this life."

Loya's wistful murmurs.

The [Dragon Evolution System] is not a cheat code brought by Loya in his first life. Rather, it is a low-end version of the system that he created after reaching the demigod level in his second life. He spent a lot of time and wisdom researching the bloodline secrets of many dragons, plus the otherworldly knowledge from his first life. It allows dragons to advance to the demigod level without any obstacles.

Originally, he planned to give this system to his good friend, the Dragon Emperor. Unfortunately, before he could give it to him, the Dragon Emperor betrayed him, and he was killed by the gods.

At this moment, Loya was very glad that he hadn't rushed to give away the [Dragon Evolution System], otherwise he would have lost both his wife and his army.

"The most urgent task now is to accumulate energy coins, open the [Bloodline Gene Bank], and obtain a better bloodline dragon body."

Loya grabbed a piece of wood from the ground and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Ordinary dead wood has very little energy."

His gaze swept over the surrounding plants and soil...

A true dragon can devour all things in heaven and earth, absorbing their energy and nutrients.

Although the dragon beast is a deformed and crippled dragon, it still possesses some of the advantages of a dragon. It can also devour everything in heaven and earth to fill its belly.

【Extraordinary Energy Coins】require energy and nutrients to exchange for.

Of course, he has other, simpler and more direct ways to exchange. For example, he can recharge with [Magic Crystals].

【Magic Crystal】is a special mineral formed from the condensation of extraordinary energy between heaven and earth. Extraordinary beings can use 【Magic Crystal】to cultivate and become stronger.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any [Magic Crystals] right now.

After all, he was just an abandoned little dragon cub.

Loya is a ruthless dragon; for the sake of power, he even enjoys eating stones and soil.

However, the dragon's body has its limits, and before long, his stomach swelled up, and he could no longer eat.

"Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have set so many restrictions on the system."

Loya felt a pang of regret; he wanted to activate the system without limit and use the bloodlines stored within it.

Unfortunately, now that he has been reincarnated and started anew, he has lost everything except his memories and the system.

Although the system belonged to him, he was too weak to modify its settings.

...

After that, Loya found a tree hollow nearby and made it his home.

For safety, he found some smelly rotten wood and threw it nearby to block the entrance to the hole.

He crawled into the tree hollow and curled up into a ball.

"I hope my luck will be better in the future."

Loya forcibly ignored the stench that disgusted the dragon and softly offered a prayer.

Danger lurks everywhere in this primeval forest.

Daenerys Targaryen hasn't killed him yet, but that doesn't mean the other creatures living on the Emerald Lake island don't have any ill intentions towards him.

On the contrary, other creatures are what he should be most wary of.

Of course, this place is very close to Daenerys Targaryen, so there shouldn't be any ferocious monsters near here.

He still has some security.

Perhaps because of his young age, Loya fell asleep quickly.

Time passed little by little, and the bright sky slowly darkened.

Night fell.

"Roar..."

In the distance, a terrifying roar echoed through the forest.

Darkness makes the forest even more dangerous.

Inside the tree hollow, Loya silently opened his eyes.

He first furtively observed the situation outside the cave, and when he found no danger, he focused his attention on his mind.

...

[Remaining Extraordinary Energy Coins: 1]

The original balance has gone from zero to one.

Koloa was not satisfied.

"We must find a way to speed things up."

He lowered his head, opened his mouth, and began to gnaw on the tree roots beneath him.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Before long, a small hole was bitten into the tree root.

However, at the same time, Loya's belly swelled up again.

He had to stop to digest his food.

This time, instead of sleeping, he tapped and pounded on the scales on his belly.

A faint purple glow emanated from his fingertips. However, the glow flickered erratically, like a short-circuited light bulb.

"This dragon beast's physique is truly worrisome. It contains too little magic power, and it's not even close to the magic elements in the world. It will be extremely difficult to absorb and control it."

Loya complained, but his actions showed no sign of stopping.

The soft "buzzing" sound continued.

A night breeze blew in, easily masking the sound.

Half a minute later, Loya's breathing became heavy.

His body trembled slightly, and sweat slowly seeped from his forehead, dripping to the ground.

Soon, another half minute passed.

A dark purple pattern the size of a soccer ball appeared on Loya's stomach. It seemed to contain extraordinary magic, making anyone who looked at it dizzy.

"Gurgle, gurgle," Loya's stomach rumbled, his digestive system working frantically.

The undigested food is decreasing rapidly.

"Basic level, Witchcraft Inscription: Gluttony".

Loya smiled and said, "With this thing, my digestion and growth rate will definitely increase dramatically."

The so-called witchcraft inscriptions are similar to the [magic runes] engraved on weapons, possessing various characteristics.

The characteristic of this sorcery inscription, "Gluttony," is to enhance the host's digestive ability, accelerate the absorption of nutrients from food, and strengthen the host's physical body.

Loya lowered his head and continued eating.

As time went by, he ate more and more, and the tree hole grew deeper and deeper.

After the tree roots were eaten through, Loya did not move to another location, but instead continued to eat downwards.

Although the texture of soil is not pleasant, the nutrients it contains are quite substantial.

Before I knew it, dawn had broken.

The tree hole was extended to a depth of six or seven meters.

Loya's remaining Extraordinary Energy Coins have reached 5.

In addition, his physique has noticeably increased slightly.

Loya climbed out of the cave and began to survey the surroundings, digging several simple traps in preparation for the hunt.

Besides, there are many plants that taste great, such as fruits and wild vegetables.

If Loya encounters these things, he will naturally not ignore them.

"Awooo!" Suddenly, a scream came from the bushes not far away.

Loya was startled.

Immediately afterwards, a dark figure darted out and pounced on Loya.

This was a thin, old black wolf, but when it attacked, its eyes glowed green, and its foul-smelling fangs and gaping maw sent chills down one's spine.

An ordinary person would be terrified if attacked by such a crazed wolf.

However, Loya was not intimidated and surrendered without resistance.

His reaction speed was incredibly fast; he quickly turned to the side and dodged the attack.

"Die." Loya's killing intent surged, and he showed no intention of running away. He leaped and landed on the back of the old black wolf.

The sharp dragon's mouth bit directly into the back of the old black wolf's neck and tore at it forcefully.

With a "plop," a large chunk of flesh was forcibly bitten off. The old black wolf's cervical vertebrae were exposed.

"Awooo!" The old black wolf howled in agony, struggling in terror, but Koloa held him tightly and continued to bite him.

Before long, the old black wolf lay weakly on the ground.

"This is quite a feast."

Loya smiled, but the blood and hair on his mouth made him look ferocious.

He carried the old black wolf's body on his back and quickly left the place.

If we waste time here, we will inevitably encounter ferocious beasts attracted by the blood.

If there's anything Loya can't handle, then Loya is in big trouble.

...

Go back into the tree hole and block the entrance.

Loya devoured the old black wolf's remains whole.

It has to be said, the combination of flesh and blood and gluttony is pretty awesome.

After Loya devoured the old black wolf, his Extraordinary Energy Coins reached 7.

"Flesh and blood are good things. If I want to collect extraordinary energy coins as soon as possible, it seems I have to take some risks."

After experiencing the benefits, Loya no longer wanted to slowly devour the plants, soil, and rocks.

A strong, bloodthirsty killing intent surged within him.
