Reborn as a Dragon!?

[Chapter 4] "Socializing"

Previously:

End of Creation Rank God

As you activate this skill, it takes almost all of your magic in exchange for the life force of everything around you. (Range varies on how much magic is poured into the skill) This skill can only be used once a day.

Wow, this is such a dangerous skill, this is a last resort for sure. It can kill anything in exchange for all of my magic.

Welp, at least I killed that mother fucker which I believe to be a good trade-off.

I then spotted something that lit my eyes up with excitement. This was the one thing he was looking for since he got to this land. A tear started swelling up in his eye.

I found my [Pocket Sand].

__________________________________

The greatest weapon in my arsenal in my past life [Pocket Sand]. I look down and it seems that the space closest to me when I activate [End of Creation](SSS) gets destroyed more and more.

There is a crater that is about 2 meters down from where I am standing. It seems that sand was created when I activated the skill.

Oh wait, I'm a dragon now, so I can't really pick up sand yet which is really unfortunate because I could have gotten another weapon in my arsenal to escape. 

I wonder how I would go about getting myself an item box. It would be nice if I could store the things that I find. It is really annoying not being able to pick things up with my claws. I guess I will have to learn some space-time magic to be able to do it.

To move forward in this world, I need to be able to communicate with things and people to learn more about this world and be able to live how I want to live. Considering that I am anti-social and a feared dragon, it will be hard making friends. Not just friends, talking to people in general!

I see dragons talking all the time in different manga's and anime's, so I might have to evolve into a more mature dragon to gain new skills like communication and such.

I need to level up fast.

I learned that I do not need to directly kill a being if I need to level up. I can level up by officially 'defeating' a being like when I knocked out those adventurers and made that dude piss himself. 

Speaking of that... what the heck is [Intimidation](D) used for if I can just use [Dragon's Might](S)? This world has some serious balance issues.

After using [End of Creation](SSS), I gained a new passive skill called [Dark Aura](F). 

"Appraisal [Dark Aura](F)."

Dark Aura Rank F

This passive skill releases small amounts (Depending on the Rank) of darkness from your body to intimidate people of a lower level than you. It will not affect a being of a higher level (Depending on the Rank) and can not be detected by skills from afar.

Man, this skill sucks! How am I supposed to communicate with people if I'm constantly releasing an aura that scares the shit out of people? I need to find a way to disable some of my passive skills.

I realized that even though my personality isn't anything like an evil dragon, skills are given to me based on the idea that I actually am a truly evil dragon, for my race is literally Darkness Dragon.

I then hear a message in my head...

Passive Skills can not be Nullified except a debuff or a cursed item.

Wow isn't that just great? At least [Dark Aura](F) is only at rank F which gives me some time to figure out how to manually control it.

I don't particularly know when I will get my evolution, but I should be able to get it around level 25 if it's anything like a game. It shouldn't be another 10 levels like I did last evolution.

Now, for my first quest. I'll need to evolve!

Meeting with the S rank Holy Knight Leo

(General Gantz) - "T-The king is requesting y-your help to subjugate the n-newly born darkness dragon". 

The general starts to sweat as it is hard to stand in the presence of Leo.

(Holy Knight Leo) - "If it is newly born, you shouldn't need someone of my caliber to deal with such a small nuisance."

(Gantz) - "We had the A-ranked party 'swords of darkness' go after the thing, but they were annihilated without any difficulty."

(Leo) - "Killed that easily huh?"

(Gantz) - "No, they survived, but they were all knocked out and their leader 'Jean' had *ahem* wet... himself in the process."

(Leo) - "Are you sure you have the right dragon? Isn't this dragon supposed to be merciless and ruthless?"

(Gantz) - "We are somewhat sure because of the prophecy that was seen after the dragon god was killed. However, the egg only incubated for 10 years instead of 100. Even so, the dragon took out a high ranked party with no difficulty!"

(Leo) - "The difference between an A rank and an S rank is massive. It is so massive in fact that the adventurer rank S is only for the people who have immeasurable power. It cannot be determined how exactly strong an S rank is because it is the highest rank and the power could be infinite for all we know. Don't lump me in with all of those amateurs."

(Gantz) - "But sir!" 

Gantz started to not be able to breathe...

(Leo) - "I said to not lump me in with those weaklings! Do you really believe me to be weak when all I am doing to you is releasing some of my aura? I could probably do the same as that dragon to those A rank weaklings."

(Gantz) - "*Cough*, I understand, forgive my implication sir."

(Leo) - "I'll kill this dragon for 100."

(Gantz) - "100 Gold Coins?"

(Leo) - "No, 100 Holy coins."

(Gantz) - "That is preposterous, that is enough to buy a whole castle!"

(Leo) - "How badly do you really want this thing dead?"

(Gantz) - "Fine, we will prepare the money when the job is completed."

(Leo) - "I appreciate the business, farewell".

Leo gives a small but terrifying smile as Gantz leaves...

(Gantz) - "I did not want to believe it at first, but it seems that the rumors that his level was in the 100's was not a lie after all."
