Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 25: I Want To Become A Big Dragon

Chapter 25: I Want To Become A Big Dragon

[Day 17]

I want to become a big dragon soon.

I even dreamed about being a big dragon.

I want to not be hindered by these d.a.m.n monsters and explore this world fully.

I want to achieve my goals, which are to find a purpose other than survive.

The dream I had was inspiring. I even feel anew after waking up while also meditating and constantly torturing my own body while doing so.

I think that doing this constantly has changed my mind slightly, I am truly becoming strange.

Nonetheless, what I dreamed about was an inspiring dream.

I was a large dragon.

Mountains were like ants below me.

I was able to fly freely through the skies, soaring above the clouds.

I glanced over creation with pridefulness and serenity.

I felt as if I was both immortal and all-powerful.

I was able to see all of creation, and do as I pleased with it.

I felt as if what I had attained was the greatest of all creation.

This dream… was it simply my fantasizing delusions?

Huh, now I am quite serious about it.

I have continued to cultivate through my special technique that makes use of Ice Absorption, and I am getting pretty good at it!

Now, don't get me wrong, I am still the same as ever!

That was, perhaps, a small moment of calmness before my insanity took hold of my mind once more.

Oh well, as I said, I have been training even while sleeping!

This torture… I am getting used to it.

I actually don't enjoy it, but… I think I am simply becoming completely indifferent to it.

I just keep doing it and preparing.

My food reserves are… a single wolf. The second wolf was already eaten.

I know I literally have a Skill named Immortal Body and another sealed one named G.o.d, but can I really attain immortality in this world?

Maybe for such a ridiculous journey, I should really have a goal as ridiculous.

Alright then, let's attain immortality, the true one.

And aside from that, I would really want to go back to Earth and meet my family there.

My big brother was a bodybuilder… my sister who was so gentle and nice, my parents…

Ugh.

No, I must keep a cold head.

I must keep my emotions at bay.

Relax.

As I cultivate, I feel the flows of mana rush through my body even more than before.

My mana core glows faintly as I increase my max Mana a bit more.

Now that I have become Middle Stage, cultivation has become slower.

However! I have to simply improve my technique, right?

And how to do it? Simply put, I pour more "fuel".

What fuel? Mana!

I am wasting and regenerating mana constantly.

I pour my Mana into my own body and Mana Core and make it flow like enormous and thick rivers of blue-colored ethereal essence.

As I do this constantly, after a few minutes, I already lost like 70 Mana, but I am still regenerating it steadily!

This cycle is what I call "Mana Cycle". I spent a c.r.a.pload of Mana and I slowly get it back through normal regeneration.

Like this, I constantly almost empty my mana reserves and force my own Mana core to get exhausted so it can regenerate more mana, faster and greater in quality.

Training your Mana Core is like training your muscles, you actually tear down your ligaments for new and stronger ones to grow!

d.a.m.n, my brother really taught me this well, I should have worked out more with him.

He was a good man, I was just too much of an idiot to appreciate him at that time, I always thought that he was just being a jerk.

But he's my brother, my blood. He was just trying to help me, he was concerned about me…

d.a.m.n it, now I really miss Adrian.

This jerk… making me feel like this when I am already long gone from that place!

Sigh.

But I take my brother's words and teachings to my heart and begin working out.

Oh yeah, dragons can also improve their muscles, what do you know?

I keep doing sit-ups and pushups, although I don't know if I can call them like this.

Alongside this, I run around until I am out of breath.

All of that while also cultivating like a madman.

My stats increase little by little, but this is effective.

In this world, you don't level up, you train your body and mana core to gain magic power and strength!

Even more surprising, as I trained my body, I even gained vitality.

Maybe this is some kind of Martial Art technique, a body tempering one?

But I am just running around and doing all kinds of wacky movements to train myself.

Am I really doing a body tempering thingy? Not really, I doubt.

Are there even Martial Arts here?

I don't remember reading about a Cultivation Novel that used Mana, it was always some other kind of thing like Ki.

Nonetheless, I keep training my body ruthless, as I keep my own mind busy by doing various types of calculations.

The body of a dragon is super amazing, although I don't have thumbs nor I can grasp stuff, I can do all kinds of things at the same time and get tired very slowly!

So I even begin to exercise the mind by beginning to think all sorts of mathematical problems.

Like this, I begin to calculate stuff at random, forcing my mind to remember all of this.

Slowly but steadily, I am getting results.

The day goes by quickly, and night finally comes.

But I am still forcing myself to go even beyond this.

I am not giving up.

I have to prepare… to prepare as much as I can.

Against the unpredictable dangers of nature, I cannot slack off, not a single second!

I can't craft weapons, but I sharp my own body and mind!

And as I do this, I slowly begin to also generate magic.

A blade of ice begins to hover around me… I can now control the wind to move as I command it and not to go into a single direction, making this essentially something like telekinesis.

Wind Attribute is overpowered.

I am going to survive, and find more about this world.
