Arthur:
"The only dragon was an Earth one. He was actually with the humans... but they betrayed him. The hybrids killed all his family while he was fighting for them in the war.When he found out what happened, he let out the scariest scream this planet had ever heard.He started killing hybrids in his human form, not caring about anything.After that, he decided to curse this planet with other creatures so their plants could stay alive even if they all died....Wow, now what's going to happen to me?"
Arthur's soul floated in a dark place. The ground was warm and covered in dark water. He lay there, drowning… until the system came back.
System:"Finally! You finished absorbing over 1,000,000 DNA creatures.Because your soul has lived for too long, I can now answer whatever you want.Be clear, human."
Arthur slowly opened his void-like eyes and said in a lifeless voice:
Arthur:"Show me my skills and stats."
A window appeared in front of him:
Soul Rank: SStrength: No body yetIntelligence: Z Rank (MAX)Magic: No rank yetAgility: No body yet
Skills:
Main Soul Skill (Awakened):"I Won't Forget"– Every power, no matter how small, will remain with you.– You will live their lives… as they lived it.– Your new body will evolve based on how much natural energy you possess.
Learned Skill (self-taught):"I Know A Lot"– The more you realize about this world, the more powerful your natural energy becomes.Note: Since the human learned this skill by himself, I can't delete it. Lucky you...
Arthur (thinking):"Just like I thought. Even if I lose a skill, as long as I remember how to do it and train a little... I can get it back."
Arthur:"Now… rebuild my body."
A hateful aura surrounded him — black and white thunder crackled violently.
System:"Okay. By the way, you'll be able to change your body."
Arthur:"...?"
A light surrounded Arthur — and he vanished.
In the lab where Arthur had once exploded, a female scientist was cleaning up the mess. Everything was dark, with only a faint light from the door beside her.Suddenly, in the darkness, non-human yellow eyes glowed.Before she could say a word, Arthur grabbed her by the neck and whispered into her ear:
Arthur:"Booh… hehe. Where are the others, lady? I've been waiting a long time for this."
Terrified and panicking, the scientist cried out:
Scientist:"T-They're… in the big w-white room. Please… don't kill me…"
To Arthur, she looked normal. But from her eyes… she saw a monster — yellow eyes, void-black holes, a half-white, half-black naked figure with overwhelming soul power.He wasn't just using energy… he was transforming it.
Arthur smirked slightly.
Arthur:"Oh me? Don't worry. I won't kill any of you. I'm actually here… to save this world."
Scientist:"T-Then… really… follow me. Let's talk to the others."
She tried to calm down and led Arthur forward. He followed, smiling… but with hatred burning in his eyes.
They entered a white room where the other scientists were drinking, laughing, and playing cards.
Female Scientist:"Everyone… we have a guest who wants to talk to us."
An older scientist with red hair replied sarcastically:
Red-haired Scientist:"Oh really? Where is he? You're alone."
Female Scientist:(shocked)"What? No! He was here... Where did he go?"
The lab was clean and white — but at that moment, everything was dark… except the table with a single light on it.
Red-haired Scientist:"That's why I tell you all... we need sleep. She's starting to see imaginary people."
Suddenly, in a split second, breathing became hard.Behind the red-haired man, yellow eyes appeared close to his neck, whispering:
Arthur:"Oh, I'm so real… bastards. Boo~"
Everyone was terrified. He looked human… but something told them… he was no longer human at all.
Arthur:"Hi. I'm trying to be friendly here—"
Before he could finish, the red-haired man summoned a flaming sword and rushed at Arthur.
Arthur (calmly):"Oh? Phoenix fire? No, it's too weak to be that."
With a single finger, he erased the flame.
Arthur:"To be honest, if you were a hybrid… you might've made a difference.Nope. You wouldn't. So now you can die without regrets."
Arthur shaped his hand like a knife and, in one second, sliced every part of the man's body — leaving only the chest.Laughing like a madman:
Arthur:"By the way, I'm not letting you die.You used Phoenix powers, right? So I'll let you stay alive. Hehe.Keep watching, kid.I'm overly excited right now."
Suddenly, someone entered the room — the head scientist… the one who had originally injected Arthur.
Head Scientist:"...Why is there so much noise?"
