The message appeared again, and Kael pressed âYes.â
As he did, he felt an energy surging into his body. It didnât take him long to understand what this energy was.
It was the Energy of Genesis. This time, however, this energy felt much purer and stronger.
The energy moved inside his body in a specific pattern. Kael tried to remember the pattern. His focus, however, was currently on Igni.
He was a little worried that something might happen to him. For now, however, he decided to trust the system, and a golden light much purer and brighter than before came out of his palm and enveloped Igni.
Igni closed his eyes.
"KyuâŚ"
He let out a low voice as his body trembled.
"Igni, are you alright?"
Kael questioned in a hurried tone. The little dragon nodded slowly, barely opening his eyes. His body continued to tremble.
He was in pain.
And Kael, who could sense it, felt his heart ache. He wanted to stop in the middle, but fearing what consequences it might have, he didnât do it.
He could only trust the system.
At the same time, he couldnât help but curse himself in his mind.
âI should have experimented on some other beast first.â
That was a terrifying thought. Kael, however, didnât care. The world could burn to smithereens, and as long as his Igni and Cirri were fine, he wouldnât care.
While more and more dangerous thoughts filled up his head, he noticed something.
Igniâs smooth, red scales were becoming even redder and much more⌠purer. They were being... enhanced.
Igni was... changing.
As a Fire Dragon, he was already born with an extremely strong bloodline, but now... he was becoming something... more.
Crack
Suddenly, Kael noticed a few cracks appearing on Igniâs enhanced scales. His little body trembled as the cracks became wider and wider before finallyâŚ
The scales fell on the bed.
It was as if even after being enhanced, his changing bloodline wasnât satisfied by these scales, and, new, bright shimmering red scales replaced the older ones.
What Kael didnât know was that while Igni was going through such changes, the entirety of Nerathis noticed a rise in temperature.
The usually cold dawn felt hotter than an afternoon. Humans and beasts alike noticed the strange phenomenon, and when they left their dwellings and looked above, their eyes widened in surprise as they noticed that the sky had turned fiery red.
"W-What is happening�"
A swordsman who was practising his sword early in the morning stuttered, unable to comprehend this phenomenon.
It wasnât just him. The strongest tamers and beasts, even those hidden in the shadows, all over Nerathis noticed it, yetâŚ
None could comprehend it.
They could only stare at it in absolute awe until finally, a few minutes later, the sky and the temperature returned to normal.
Yes, Igniâs transformation was over.
[Ding!]

The system informed.

âŚ
âW-WhatâŚ?â
Kael couldnât believe his eyes.
IgniâŚ
He had completely surpassed Elira, a level 67 Court Mage, in every possible way.
And he was only at level 20!
This made no sense!
"FatherâŚ"
"Huh�"
Kaelâs thoughts froze when he heard a voice.
He looked around, the confusion on his face visible, but,
"Father."
Igni called out again, and the moment Kael realized it, a big smile appeared on his face.
"Igni, you can speak now!"
"Father."
Igni called out again.
"Yes, what is it?"
Kael questioned excitedly.
"Cirri is sleeping,
Lower your voice."
Igni spoke, his voice felt oddly mature, like an older brotherâs.
Kael turned silent, not knowing how to react.
He was glad that Igni could speak now, butâŚ
For some reason, he couldnât look at Igni like he was the same, childish Dragon anymore. Kael tried to figure out the reason, but he couldnât put his finger on it.
Igniâs appearance hadnât changed much, other than his scales now being much redder and smoother than before. He was still an extremely adorable baby, butâŚ
Something about him felt⌠distant.
Something... Primordial.
It was as if this little being understood the entire world.
His very presence commanded respect.
And Kael was right.
Igni was now a Primordial Fire Dragon, the embodiment of the First Dragon created out of True Fire, a being who was destined to stand above the rest.
A Being who didnât just rule the Myths anymore, he was now a being who was supposed to become...
Eternal.
A being who commanded absolute authority.
At least that was how it was for others, but for Kael?
Well, Kael was an exception.

Igni called out again, and just like before, he fell on his lap.
"...?"
Kael froze, unable to react.
Frowning that he wasnât picked up yet, Igni glanced at Kael,
"Father?"
Once again, his eyes shined with that adorable innocence Kael couldnât resist and,
"Ahhhh, you can speak now~"
He picked Igni up and hugged him as tightly as he could.
"Was it painful? Were you hurt? Do you feel any pain anywhere right now? Are you alright? Do you feel any sort of discomfort?"
Kael asked a bunch of questions as he thoroughly examined Igniâs body.
A presence that commanded respect or whatever, all that could come when Kael was done examining his child.
Igni, who was now at the receiving end of his fatherâs worries, nodded with a satisfied look on his face.
Yes, that is it.
He was a big brother now, but this didnât mean he didnât have to be pampered.
Igni would get all the pampering he could get, for the rest of his life.
"Father, I am fi-"
"Shut up."
Before Igni could say anything, Kael silenced him, and only once the dragonâs father was satisfied did he stop and place Igni back on his lap, rubbing his belly.
Igni purred, snuggling close to Kael.
"You got a lot stronger."
Kael spoke.
"I will become even stronger."
Igni replied confidently.
Kael chuckled, then suddenly, he sensed movement around him and realized that after all the commotion, Cirri had woken up as well.
Kael narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Cirri, and as if reading his mind, Igni shook his head,
"Father, not her.
She is a child."
âA 19-day-old shouldnât be saying this, you know?â
Kael thought inwardly but didnât say it out loud.
"I donât want her to get hurt."
Igni spoke and sharing the same thought, Kael nodded.
"NyuâŚ"
Little Cirri finally opened her eyes and rubbed them with her small paws. Kael and Igni who saw that, couldnât help but feel their hearts melt.
"My Daughter is adorable."
"My Sister is adorable."
They spoke at the same time.
As for Cirri,
"Nyu?"
She just tilted her head in confusion.
