Let's check out how the skill points work.
[Do you wish to buy new skills?]

Hehehehehe ... Watch out all the beings of this puny world, I .....I realised now that in my status I didn't have any name. Does that mean I am just one of many monsters out there?
NOO!! This can't be happening! NOOO!!!
Stop! Why am I even overreacting here?
I need to choose a suitable skill for me with the essence I have. But all the skills here look too good. This is gonna be hard but I don't have much time to think for it.
The more skills the better right then I'll take the Blackout and pierce skills. One is more on the defensive side and one for attacking. But MP is mentioned here and I didn't see any MP bar on m status, will the skill be unusable if I don't have any MP?
Sigh... this is too risky but I don't have time left, the walls are starting to dim already.
Just do it!
[Would you like to learn the skills of Blackout and Pierce]
YES! JUST DO IT!

THANK THE ALMIGHTY SYSTEM!!! FINALLY!!
What I was lacking unlike the protagonist of the mangas and anime I watched was an OP skill or ability! But now I have one!
My road to SUPREMACY has finally begun!
HHAHAAHAHAHAHA all skills cost 1MP, if that isn't OP I don't know what is. No one can stand above me now! I can now spam every skill with my 15 MP...
15MP.....
.....
hmm...
Calm down... What the ... is this you stupid system! I only have 15 MP?? I have the experience of another life?? Aren't I supposed to have more INT and more MP!!
Sigh... it's okay it's alright.
I can still increase the MP by raising my INT. It's alright.
Let's just use my 1 stat point on INT
[Using 1 stat point on INT]
hmm, I feel smarter? I am now 1INT smarter! Hurray! I'll think about this later I need to use my essence too.
[Do you wish to use the available Essence]
Yes, yes, yes...
[Available upgrades]
CLAW - POISON CLAW(50)- STRENGTHEN CLAW(50)- CURVED CLAW(50)
BODY- ARMORED SKIN(50)
Last time I took 2 upgrades on my body, this time I'll do two upgrades on my claw then.
I'll take the poison claw to help me take care of prey faster and the curved claw so that I can escape using the walls of the dungeon. Yes, this is perfect.
[Do you wish to upgrade to poison claw and curved claw?]
Yes!
[Upgrading]
I feel like I forgot something.....
NO!!! The pain!!
....
....
DOES IT HAVE TO HURT every time!!!
Whew... finally the pain is gone. I think it felt less painful this time because it is an upgrade on my claws instead of the body.
[Poison Claw: The claw is coated with poison deadly to others but harmless to self]
+3ATK
Nice, I don't have to be careful about poisoning myself. That helped me a lot.
[Curved claw: Makes the claw curved to help in climbing walls, to get more grip and impaling]
+2ATK
I wonder what will happen if I get all the available upgrades...will I be able to evolve??
After a short rest, I head out in search of my new home. I further explore the cavern-like dungeon, gather more information and in the process search for new prey.
I notice a lizard-like creature but it seems like a mix of a dog and a lizard. It stands on four legs but its legs are longer unlike that of a lizard.
[Naga offspring- The offsprings of Epic rank Dragon Naga. ????????????]
What?!!! Myth rank?? I better stay away from that ugly thing. Yes, I am not scared at all. I am just staying away from it because I don't want its ugliness to affect me.
Ok, let's move on.
But why did the system gave me ??? in the status of the lizard?
Is it because of the rank? That must be the case indeed.
It's been exactly 3hrs since I started searching for a new shelter. And I think I have found it.
In front of me, I see a huge nest-like structure hanging from the ceiling. It has a small entrance and is away from the reach of most creatures. It is the perfect shelter for me.
The problem is that, while I was checking it out I saw a creature that looked like a flying dinosaur entering it. It was not big at all, must be the same size as I am. It didn't have wings either but I am sure it was flying. There is nothing wrong with that, after being in this world for some time my common sense is a mess.
I want to take the shelter and also make that creature my prey. But there's one problem. I can reach there easily since I also have the skills to climb walls. The real problem is that...
[Epic rank - Newborn Falak dragon]
[Offspring of the Epic Rank Falak Dragon. Excels in speed and fast attacks. Also, have skills depending on the element of its mother. ????????????]
This is the problem, not only is it Epic rank which I don't know how high of rank that is. Its mother is an Epic rank Dragon. From my knowledge with games, Epic rank should be one of the highest ranks there is. That means that If I do anything to it, I will be chased by an Epic rank Dragon my whole life.
That is if I could even kill that Epic rank dragon. But I am not scared at all. I will go check the nest and plan a way to kill it.
Because even if I face the anger of some mother dragon, I am confident in my ability to escape.
And from the lizard, I saw a while ago. There are at least several Epic rank dragons in this dungeon, so I am sure that the mother dragon cannot roam so freely. It will be the end of me if all dragons are friendly with each other. But I'll rely on my gamer knowledge that they are not and make this puny dragon my prey hehehehe...
I haven't thought about it seriously before because I was occupied with more important stuff but are Epic rank monsters that common? Aren't they supposed to be near impossible to find, more like whoever finds them doesn't live to tell the tale but I am now doubting whether Epic rank is that high of a rank at all? In just one day, I came across two Epic rank monsters even though they were newborns they were still Real Epic rank monsters. Epic rank or not, it doesn't change the fact that I am going to kill that baby dragon today. No pain no gain as people use to say in my world or do I say my previous world? Although I am worried there will be more pain than gain or quite possibly pain only, I was a person who lived for overpowered skills, I cannot live without having anything overpowered in my arsenal of skills or abilities. And one thing that could possibly give me something overpowered is killing an Epic rank monster, not just any monster but a Dragon. Maybe a title like the Dragon
[Upgrading to Armoured skin]Ughhhh!! I feel that I will have more chances of dying whenever I upgrade myself rather than from monsters!!When will it not hurt every time I get an upgrade…. They have said in the past that great risk brings great reward and of course that is true. But I don't know whether it is worth it at all. I hoped to minimise as much risk as possible, circumstances have forced me into being aggressive and thankfully it has paid off![Condition for evolution not met]Hmm? What? What am I missing here?

The moment the shell hit the floor, the baby dragon opened its eyes as it awakens from its slumber.I could feel the pressure it emitted as if a giant weight has pressed down on me, all I could do was to remain as still as possible. My senses were telling me to go and run away as fast as I can. Maybe me being a lesser demon affected me. I hesitated whether I should just give up and run away but I wanted to try at least once, u never know until u try right?However, it only looks at me once before it closed its eyes and resume what it was doing a moment ago. I instantly had one thought, maybe the dragon is in some process of evolution and cannot move? I could be totally wrong and fuck myself up but I believe that it is true.Before anything I want to see if analyze will show anything to me. that would be the safer and smarter thing to do.Analyze![Epic rank - Newborn Falak dragon][Offspring of the Epic Rank Falak Dragon.

"W-what's going on here?!"Someone shouted. Geometrical patterns, just like a magic circle you'd see in anime, formed on the floor of the classroom.Then, in the following instant, the space around them changed – turning into a large ground with a large circular plate with unknown symbols.An unknown number of people out of nowhere appeared on top of the circle as the archimages finished the ritual."Hurraaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"The people, citizens, everyone was on their knees as they shouted in unison. The otherworldly heroes were their hope. For every generation, they were told the stories of heroes, of how they slew the monsters of the dark, of how they protected the empire, of how they sacrificed their lives for the people. Instilled on each citizen was a deep sense of respect and honour for the so-called heroes. And today was such a day where they would get to see a glimpse of their heroes."..eh?'One moment they were si
It's been roughly 3 hrs since I started converting the high tier essence to normal essence.[5 secs remaining].........[Coversion complete][Gained 5000 essence]Niceuuuu!It is enough to get two skills at most. I didn't hope for much but I was hoping for it to be much higher than 5000. Since 1% is 5000 essence then all the essence available here is about 500000??? Damn what a huge waste!I have not realised it before but once I looked into the skills section again, I can't decide which skills to choose.One way is to take the Biokinesis which cost 4000 essences since I don't even need to injure the dragon's exterior and directly caused harm to its internal organs. But can it really do enough damage to kill it? most likely not.The other way is to take poison generation and amplify which cost 1000 and 1500 essence each. I can strengthen myself to penetrate the dragon's thick hide and apply

I was surprised. When I woke up, no I was actually really amazed that I even woke up.I thought I was dragon food all this time. But no need to think of it anymore. I don't know how I am alive but what matters is that I am still alive. But the other thing that took me by surprise is the body of the dragon in front of me, just a few metres away from me.I tried to get up but to no avail, even though I am alive my body is far from being fine. I cannot feel my right arm and my right leg at all. I am also sure I broke some of my rib bones. I still wonder how I am still alive in this state.I knew before I lost my consciousness that the system announced some notices to me. since I cannot do anything with the current state of my body I could check up on what I missed.[Level up][Level up][Level up][Level up][Level up]….Levelling up a total of 18 times in one go..even though the monster was Epic ranked, the level bo
It's been exactly 92 hrs or 4 days since I rested inside the egg to heal myself. The system literally meant what it said when it said my body will take 4 days to heal. Just a minute ago I couldn't move or feel my body at all. But now everything is fine as if nothing happened to me. not even a speck of injury or wound can be seen on my body.Must be the miraculous powers of the Supremacy system as it calls itself.Even the claws I lost have now regenerated and looks as good as new or even better!First of all, I need to find food, 4 days without a drop of water in my stomach is making me crazy, I cannot go on like this any longer.Of course, there is a large amount of food just right next to me but it is unedible'[Corpse of Falak Dragon][Unconsumable]Quite disappointing if you ask but I had no choice since the system deemed it to be unconsumable. No need to risk it by trying. I have learnt that even though there isn't any being I ca
"Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st
Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for
My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to
A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,
"Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou
The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g
The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of
Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br
The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times. I had already surmised that the majority of the other nobles and their forces would have already amassed in the capital, readying themse
