At the sunset, in a cave on the mountain, Ren was cooking the wolf meat he just hunted.
----------------Ren Pov---------------
The wolfs were not a big challenge even with their wind magic, my powers are comparable to D+ and the stats are already at E+ rank expect for magic which shows D+ but is comparable to C+ and my charm star is already C- which is amazing. The mana density combined with Sun breathing has caused my hair to grow to shoulder length, I will keep it as it suits me.
I wonder how many girls will throw themselves in my arm given I improve my reputation.
It's almost night, I will have to wait for the moonlight to shine on the wall of the cave for it to open. Let's sleep for a while, after all I have to set out for the Academy as well.
Soon, it was midnight and Ren was fast asleep, suddenly his eyes fluttered open upon hearing a ticking sound which although low was still perceptible due to his heightened senses.
Ren stepped outside the cave and waited, soon the moonlight poured into the cave and the wall from where the sound was coming started glowing with a faint white light. Suddenly, a path appeared where the wall was situated leading downwards.
Ren went down the path which went deeper and deeper till it reached an opening where he found a golden ball on a pedestal.
The ticking sound was very loud and Ren unaffected, took the ball and placed it in the inventory. He went back up to his sleeping spot and slept till morning.
Ah, new day, new start whatever. I should go to the cave with the river and explore the inside of the mountain from where the guy encountered the mountain tyrant, there should be something in the core of the mountain. I will consume the golden orb after the exploration.
Ren quickly went to that cave with the river and found the narrow path leading to the core of the mountain. Using the wind, he descended to the bottom of the ravine and as expected, a mountain tyrant appeared in front of him which was dispatched easily using the breathing technique and then proceeded toward the cave from which the mountain tyrant appeared.
The tunnel was medium size and was leading towards a downward direction, soon Ren found a dead end and examined the wall.
To his finding, a sphere shape was etched on the wall. Thinking something, Ren took out the golden orb and placed it in the socket and as the orb was inserted in the socket, a complex diagram composed of multiple magic circle appeared in the wall glowing golden for few moments before the wall split into two and Ren saw a huge sapcw inside.
Without thinking much, he entered d and as he entered the room, the wall behind closed with a loud thud. The content inside made Ren's jaw drop, I the centre of the room, a huge pool of blood was situated and in one corner of the room, a box containing 20 golden orb but these were different from the one Ren obtained before. The orbs were radiating a huge about of power causing the air around them to distort slightly.
Ren also found a series of text on a wall in another corner, as Ren was a transmigrator, he can read and speak any language and so he understood what was written.
''' Time and Space, the question of ages, who is the supreme? The one who is supreme is the one who wields the two.
Heir to the throne of Dragonheart, the Moon Goddess approved of you. Come and inherit the legacy of the supreme beings.'''
According to the instructions on the wall, the blood in the centre of the room is the dragon blood, after a person consume one orb and sit near the pool to absorb the dragon essense, the orb will provide the person with a dragon bloodline and the essence will help accelerate the process of it. Since there are 20 orbs, he can give the dragon bloodline to 19 other people except him.
Well, Jin and Han unknowingly created a bright future for themselves.
Ren cleared his mind from these useless thoughts and he moved forward and took one orb and swollowed it. Immediately, the void-corruption dragon devil fruit in his body reacted to the orb of dragon essence coverging with it but soo Ren found something horrifying, the other elements in his body wind, ice, light, lightning, phoenix fruit and the sword chi are also reacting violently to the dragon essence.
{{A/N: Many of you must be thinking whay is happening here? Well, from what is know, to use devil fruit, one needs physical strength or more specifically chi energy. So, here the fruits have divided the total chi in Ren's body into several parts and are using the chi which is in their control to merge with the dragon essence in order to amplify their powers and produce a element based dragon bloodline. As for the sword chi, that's the chi used for breathing technique, again I am not 100% confident but this is my hypothesis and yes sword chi is a part of chi but I have taken it separately here. What the major improvement is that in the end of the day, devil fruit is but just a weapon which can be stolen be it when the user dies but now, not only the elements have become stronger, they have basically been imprinted in his bloodline, became a part of his body not a external attachment, so not only him but his successors will also be monsters. So.....PEACE OUT!!!}}
Understanding the situation, Ren consumed another orb to test something. As another dragon essence entered Ren's body, the elements except void dragon rushed towards the new dragon essence.
Ren quickly took 5 more dragon essence and finally the turmoil in his body ceased but he also noticed that the evolution of his powers would need a lot of energy and so, he jumped into the pool of dragon blood.
For the next two hours, Ren suffered excruciating pain and almost fainted many times. As he came out of the pool, he played near it totally exhausted from the process.
He fell asleep and after a long time, he opened his eyes and looked around. He felt his body was really fresh and devoid of any pain, as he examined his body, he understood what happened to him. His powers have evolved, ice dragon, light dragon, thunder dragon, wind dragon, void-corruption dragon, Phoenix dragon hybrid and sword dragon. These seven powers resides in his body at the seven Chakra points of the body. Also, his heart evolved into dragon heart core which not only generates mana on its own but also compress and purifies it. His seven cores also do the same resulting in have a huge mana pool with such a high density that the colour of mana changed from blue to golden. The difference between the two was of sky and earth, if a spell take 100 unit of blue mana, it would only take 4 units of golden mana and will still have a better result.
So, now Ren has a almost inexhaustible mana pool if he fights his peers as his mana will replenish as fast as it gets consumed or even faster. Plus, the elements which were chaotic before have become far more stronger and harmonious especially wind element due to his eye.
Safisfied with the power up, Ren now considered how to take this place with him. Then, the room started rumbling and a circular platform rose in the middle of the blood pool and on it was a huge round table and 13 chairs and a huge chair. Behind the huge chair was a flag which represented all the elements Ren possessed and a flame touch burned at the side of the chair with a golden flame.
Ren instinctively sat on the huge chair and soon after that, a flash of white blinded everything and Ren found himself back at the dead end in the cave tunnel. A crest of a dragon shimmered on his right hand with a golden light and then disappeared.
The crest give excess to the room and except him and his fellow dragons or those he approve, Noone can enter the room as it existed as a separate space or more specifically it is a separate dimension no one can enter or access.
Ren used the wind magic and got out of the ravine and the cave. He conjured cyan coloured wings on his back, with his clean noble clothes, he looked magnificent. Yes, clean clothes, he had used wind magic to create a very thin yet sturdy barrier all over his body to remain untouched and clean.
Descending from the mountain, he flapped his 10 meter long wings and landed in the town square under the stunned gazes of the citizen. He looked around and saw a man selling grilled meat, he upto him and tossed a gold coin, " Give me all the grilled meat and tell me what day is today."
The owner's eyes shined with stars, the money given was too much, he earned this much in one month that too if the sales is high. He smiled flatteringly, the magic wings from before and the uniform of the Celestial Institute indicates that this person must be an elite of the academy and of noble lineage.
According to the shopkeeper, it was already the sixth day of Ren's punishment and the meat was tasty, not fancy but really flavourful as well. Ignoring the stares and whispers around him, Ren focused on his food when suddenly, a pink haired girl who looked like a beggar pulled the helm of his cloth and asked, " Sir, do you need worker? I can work for you, please hire me."
I looked at the girl curiously, studying her expression. The girl should be around 14 years old, something about her seemed familiar to me but I can't place his finger on.
The villager meanwhile were shaking talking and even touching clothes of a noble mage means immediate death. They didn't want to be the part to this, the girl got nervous and started weeping from the states she got.
Suddenly, I understood who this girl is-Shirahoshi, the mermaid princess from on piece but the question is why is she here?
I crouched down to her level and gently stroking her hair, " What's your name? Where are your parents lil girl ? "
"I-I am 18 years old not a little girl. M-my name is Shirahoshi and I am an orphan."
As expected, she is too innocent and kind, got bribed by grilled meat. Well, water and ice are close elements, I can feel that my ice dragon bloodline reacting to her water based bloodline and it should be an ancient bloodline.
She must have felt a resonance and hence approached me.
" Well, are you sure you want to come with me, I am a bad person." I said with a smile. "No, no, you are a good person, I can feel your aura." She must be talking about the resonance.
I smiled and said, "OK, come with me." Shirahoshi's ability to command sea beast was too valuable to miss and if I turn her into a dragon, her abilities will evolve further.
He also noticed that her body became that of a 14 year because her powers were sealed the day she awakened them.
