He shouted in joy, this was his first real mission, the very first he had ever been entrusted with by the system.

But after years of grinding, he finally manage to complete it today by making his last original Miasma Technique.

But his excitement was quickly taken the wrong way, when he heard the Voice of White walking towards him.

"You seem awfully thrilled."

White remarked, tilting her head upwards to the place the Black Hole Adam was once where.

"Can't blame you though… that was a magnificent attack. Still, I've never seen Minerva use a Miasma Technique like that before, at least not one that creates a literal fucking black hole. Where the hell did you learn that?!"

She asked Adam genuine curiosity.

And Adam turned toward her, his expression tightening, and what he said next took her by suprise.

"I didn't learn it anywhere."

He said firmly.

"In pure desperation to survive, I made it up on the spot. But the only reason I could pull it off was because of my deep understanding of Astrum."

He paused, his gaze sharpening as he continued.

"Ever since I was a child, as you should already know... I've had the ability to manipulate Astrum to such a degree that I could compress it to its absolute limit, even shape it into constructs of pure, attribute-less energy."

"In this case, I just I applied that same principle to Miasma, using my <Eyes of the World> to interact with the energy on a far deeper level than most Miasma user can even acheive. Then by combining my knowledge of science with my abilities, I essentially simulated the creation of a black hole. In this case, though, since Miasma is being used as compressible energy, it was more akin to forming a kugelblitz, a black hole made of light. Except this time… it was one born of Corruption instead of light."

Hearing this White just scratch her head as she replied saying.

"Ahhh such big words hurt my head, either way congrats on killing your first dragon."

White announced, then at the same time a new voice echoed at the back of Adam mind.

It was the Voice of The World Losdeus.

[Feat Achieved: Congratulations! You have completed an inbuilt Feat set by Beatrice, for killing the strongest sub-species of Dragon Type Monster within the Monster World]

As a result, you have unlocked two unique perks.

- Murder Perk – <Dragon Slayer> (from the game Daimo Dragon)

- Romance Perk – <Dragon Tamer> (from the game Daimo Dragon Reborn)

These were granted for slaying the strongest subspecies of Lesser Dragons within the Monster World.

[Dragon Slayer]

- A Murder Perk that ensures the absolute destruction of dragons.

When delivering a killing blow to a draconic being, even in idea, success is guaranteed with 100% certainty. This effect extends even to abstract beings, forcing them into a killable, humanoid form regardless of their status, hierarchy, or metaphysical nature within your respected Feild.

By awakening this power, you have become the first existence in creation to properly embody the absolute concept of dragon-slaying. As such, the Seat of Draconic Murder has manifested within the Spirit World, establishing itself as a new Concept of Existence.

If you transcend mortality and break free of your mortal coil, this seat will elevate you into a Divine Spirit of Dragon Slaying.

- Luck increased by +350%

. All draconic beings will feel instinctive discomfort in your presence when you direct killing intent toward them, they will experience overwhelming fear and unease.

"Holy shit."

Adam whispered to himself.

He was expecting something good, but this was beyond good.

Then and again, this was a perk of being Beatrice entertainment as well, and he could not complain at all, not one bit.

This was an absolute win, in more ways than one.

But it did not end there, no not all. Because moments after, Losdeus began to explain what his Dragon Tamer Perk was capable of doing.

And in his humble opinion it was easily the best perk he got thus far.

[Dragon Tamer]

- A Romance Perk that alters the natural instincts of draconic beings.

You become irresistibly attractive to female dragons, drawing their interest and affection on a fundamental, spiritual level. Any being with draconic nature, whether fully dragon or dragon-blooded, will develop immediate romantic fascination toward you.

Should you impregnate a dragon, that being will become your Summon. Upon this bond forming, all of their abilities will be instantly copied and assimilated into you, strengthening the host with their full power.

Adam felt it first in his chest, then his entire being mind, body, and soul.

A strange new power coursing inside him, not like energy, or maybe something like an awakening.

It was more along the lines of opening ones eyes that blind for his entire life, and finally seeing the world for what it truly was.

It was like his entire existence had been rewritten in a way to accommodate his capabilities as fact of the world itself.

And change where immediate, as he could sense and recognize all forms and expression of draconic presence.

Fake, incomplete, impure, lesser, greater, unique, true, demonic, and even divine or chaotic.

It did not matter what a dragon was in words, to him all dragons where on and the same, as such all dragon where comprehensible.

Regardless of their form or state.

As such his gaze drifted, almost instinctively, to White.

She stiffened when his eyes landed on her.

And Adam could feel it, her aura was humming, almost trembling. Draconic power flowed through her despite being a Mimick.

But because of this he could tell this draconic power Rakasha had was unique. An constant but nigh perfect imitation of some the strongest out there.

A perfect replica of the real thing.

Yet even that hollow echo seemed to bow under the pressure radiating from him in this moment.

White face betrayed her.

She was blushing.

Her lips pressed tight, her throat moving as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Her thoughts slipped out in a whisper only she could hear.

"Is it me… or does Adam suddenly look… kind of hot?"

Rakasha caught herself staring too.

She felt heat curl in her chest and hated herself for it. She was supposed to be a mother figure between the sisters after all to Adam.

With a sharp breath, she turned her head, muttering to herself in White head

'Focus. Don't start thinking like that now… Not yet atleast.'

"I mean he is hot, don't fight it, I know you feel the same way too."

Replied White, holding his other arm like a nervous school girl.

But Rakasha's voice cut into her mind, clear and direct, the bond between them making it impossible to ignore.

'Look White don't act like you don't see it too. I know you are feeling it. It is not your fault. This is just how we are. Female monsters don't stay neutral...we're either the ones in control, or we fall for the ones stronger than us. That is our nature as Monster... My opinion on Adam however has always been… different, to me he is still that cut little boy we found in the trash, but I also see him as a very strong, and reliable male now.'

White gritted her teeth. Her hand curled into a fist at her side, but she couldn't deny the truth of it.

Rakasha continued, her voice steady, almost too calm for the words she was saying.

'Think about it. We"ve all been raising Adam together, haven't we? Minerva, Priscilla, Echidna, me. Guiding him, protecting him, shaping him. We've all been waiting without admitting it out loud. Waiting for when the time comes.'

White's breath caught.

'And you know as well as I do.'

Rakasha pressed on.

'Adam doesn't live by the same rules we do. He stopped being bound by age long ago. Since he was seven, his form could shift between a child, an adult, even an old man. Time doesn't cling to him the way it clings to us. Age is meaningless to him in a different way from us who are truly immortal. He said it himself, even gender doesn't matter. He can be a woman as easily as he could be a grown man. But he still chooses to call himself a man instead of woman or a non-binary existence. That choice, that anchor, is what makes him Adam... Our Adam.'

White turned her head, her jaw tightening. Every word hit harder than she wanted to admit.

Rakasha's voice then softened.

'The only reason we've been waiting isn't about morals, or age, or what is proper by human standards, since we are not human. It is timing, especially since Adam came in our life at perfect time. Since Minerva is our Leader, she obviously has first dibs, but most importantly. Minerva inability to have children without someone on her level, or until the Mercury Night arrives when her power is at the strongest to the point she and the king are on equal terms. That is when she can bear a child. And that is when Adam will be twenty. Everything lines up. That is what we've all been waiting for, whether we say it aloud or not. But if she has proper heir instead of an adopted one, we can finally be looked at as proper nation instead of just some monster village rules by a Monster Lord a sit is mandatory that all Lord Most conceive at least one heir.'

The words lingered in the silence that followed, heavy and inescapable.

Adam on the other looked at the quiet White and said.

"You good White?!"

"Ahhh yeah... Again good job, although I think it is time we go home now."

"I could get behind that."

Adam said to himself.

"Still I most say Adam, I never thought magic of all things would have been the catalyst needed for your unleash that last attack, color me impressed."

Adam just nodded, and then said to himself.

'Well, I can't take all the credit... given my prior enlightenment helped me figure that out. Apparently, I have two dormant, unique types of magic inside me.'

'The first is inherited from Beatrice. It lets me view the world as if it were a story, and in theory, I could even narrate reality itself, like rewriting events in a fanfic by sheer will alone But… I can't use it yet.'

'The second is a compression-type magic. I can compress matter to the point of creating a black hole, and treat Non-physical things as imaginary Matter to break down fundamental laws of creation. Normally, that would be suicidal, but I've mastered a method to compress without collapsing everything into one. But this only possible because of my deep understanding of Astrum.'

'Still, I've been experimenting with a new form of magic <Promise Magic> that could help me fully utilize this compression magic of mine. The problem is Astrum consumption, it is insane. I can't maintain the spell for long periods, when I try to use Non-physical side of this magic attribute of mine. Given I am the one who makes the Astrum, but it is not enough for even the most basic application of it.'

'Thankfully, I've already thought of a countermeasure. But for it to work, I'll need Medea to help me form a perfect contract, one that allows me to maximize its use so it could reach it's ultimate potential.'
