My Dragon System

Chapter 152 - Race Change

Chapter 152 - Race Change

Ray looked at the message then suddenly had a thought; did this mean that the evolution had a chance of failing. If it did, then would this mean that Ray would die? Or would he simply not evolve or even could no longer evolve. It was a message that hadn't appeared last time.

The system was truly a strange thing.

Then another notification had popped up.

Ray was no longer a Dragon knight but now was a new race called, Draco. With the Race change, Ray quickly then looked at his body to see if he noticed any differences. The first thing that stood out to Ray was his arms.

Where they used to be a clear smooth skin on his arms, it was now replaced with a scale pattern. The scales started from his hands and slowly started to fade as it went up to his arms but not only that. Ray had what looked like fins on the side of his forearms. Only, when Ray went to touch them, they were as hard as a rock.

Inside the bathroom, Ray was looking at himself in a small mirror to see if there were any other changes to his body. The mirror showed that his body had mostly retained its shape apart from the thin like things on his arm but with a single look people could tell he wasn't fully human.

Ray had the biggest smile on his face. At last, he was slowly turning back into a Dragon. Ray then thought of the possibility with each evolution he would slowly start to get his Dragon form back.

There were a few more changes that Ray had noticed, when using his dragon eyes skill on himself he could see his aura had changed. The red aura had grown in size compared to the yellow aura. The yellow aura still dominated most of Ray's body though.

When Ray left the bathroom there was one more thing that shocked him more than anything. It was his bedsheets. He lifted up the bedsheet and looked at the stained marks on them. There were small droplets of blood markings but these weren't bright red like a human, it was darker than usual.

Ray thought back to when he was in the middle of his evolution, he remembered trying to bear through the pain and while doing so he ended up digging his own fingers into the palm of his hand, causing blood to be drawn.

When Ray went to look at his palms they had completely healed, there wasn't even a mark, suggesting that he had been hurt. Ray then put his thumb into his mouth and bit down just hard enough to cause blood to be drawn.

A dark red colour could be seen. Almost too dark to notice it was blood. This was a problem. One of the clear differences between humans and beats was their blood colour. Black blood indicated it was from a beast while Red blood was from humans.

Ray could use his transform skill to cover up the markings on his arms but there was nothing he could do about his blood. For now, it was okay as the blood was just darker than usual which wouldn't arouse suspicion but, in the future, Ray would truly have to worry about this.

After finishing his evolution Ray went to look at the time, he noticed that is was already 6:00 Am and the sun was starting to rise. He had been going through the evolution a lot longer than he had thought.

Ray decided to get as much sleep as he could before meeting up with the kids.

A few hours later and Ray could hear knocking on his door outside.

"Sir, there are some children outside who are waiting for you." A maid said through the door.

Ray quickly got out of bed and instantly transformed into the man named Nes. The kids were currently waiting downstairs in the Inn. The reception area doubled up as a restaurant for guests and the kids were currently eating a large meal.

As Ray walked down the stairs the kids couldn't help but stare at him. They had only seen him yesterday but something about Ray felt different. The kids couldn't quite put their finger on it though. Tuffy then waved to Ray, Ray spotted the two and started to walk over and sat down next to them.

"Did you pay for this yourselves?" Ray asked, he knew the two weren't well off just from the equipment they had and he also noticed that their food was a lot better than all the guest sitting around them.

When Ray was walking past, he had heard the guest mumbling about the kids wondering if they had stolen some money to be able to afford something like that.

As soon as they saw Ray walk over to them their opinion quickly changed. Nes looked like a wealthy adventurer, especially with his high-end armour and Gauntlets. If he had paid for the meals they could understand.

"We cashed in those crystals you gave us and got 3 Silver for them." Candy said.

There were four types of coins available, a Bronze coin was worth a 100 pence. Pence were small pieces of coins made out of stone but had the stamp of the kingdom on it. A silver coin was worth a 1000 pence or ten bronze coins and finally, a gold coin was worth 10 silvers.

If one was to trade in a basic tier crystal they would receive one bronze coin, if it was an intermediate crystal they would receive one silver and finally anything else above would be paid in gold.

The Armadillo chest piece that Ray had bought had the price tag of 10,000 on it. Meaning you could either pay 10 silver or 1 gold. Or you could even do what Ray had done and traded in ten intermediate crystals.

The amount shocked Ray but not because of how high it was but because they had been given the same prices, he got at Avrion. Students were meant to either get a 10 percent discount or 10 percent increase when trading in stones, which Ray had never once received but thanks to Slyvia the Blacksmith never charged him for forging the equipment so he couldn't complain now.

The kids had finished eating their meal and then Candy asked.

"Well, should we head to the Guildhall then?"

Ray nodded and the three of them headed off to the Guildhall together.
