An annoying sight was before me.

"Yo!" The god greeted as I opened my eyes.

"Ugh, uh, wait, am I dead again!?" I quickly realize where I was and began to panic.

"No, no no no! I'm just communicating with you in your dreams for a while to see how your doing. (And definitely not because I was getting fed up with your attitude towards me, nope)" The god explained.

Hey wait, I heard that!

The god coughed to fix his uh, mouth? He has a mouth, right?

"It's rude to ask a god that, you know?" The god responded to my thoughts.

"It's rude to read people's thoughts, you know." I shot back mockingly.

"Anyway, how was your first day on the planet..." The god began, only to go silent once again.

"Lemme guess, you forgot to give it a name, didn't you?" I asked with a hopeful deadpan expression.

"M-Maybe. Um, so how was your first day?" He asked, as he began to mumble a variety of words that I assume were potential picks for the name of the planet.

"It was horrible. First, I'm not even a dragon, I'm some crappy lizard, then I have to waste the only time I can force an evolution with that cheat flower I asked you to put in so I didn't die and actually turned into a dragon." I responded with all my heartfelt criticisms.

"So, you didn't like how I set everything up for you? Didn't you say you wanted to experience clawing your way to the apex, though?" The god asked.

"I did say that, but I never said I wanted the difficulty to be so damn hard!" I shouted.

"Well, it shouldn't be an issue now, though? Since you evolved into a dragon, you've gained some survival skills, you know?" The god responded calmly.

"Wait, for real?" I replied, shocked.

"Yep." They answered.

I decided to check just in case, and sure enough.

A big dialogue box with a butt ton of info appeared in front of me.

After some searching I found it, the skills tab.

List of Skills - Enemy threat, level: 1.

Baby Fire Breath, level: 1.

Hide Presence (Low), level: 1.

Dragon's Passive.

Four skills, and one was a passive skill.

I decided to check the descriptions of each of the skills to make sure they all did what I thought they would do.

First was the Dragon's Passive, since I had little clue as to what that one could be.

Dragon's Passive: A Passive skill limited to those who have the blood of a true dragon flowing through them. Effects are subject to change.

Effects: 10x exp growth for everything (Temp), 5x exp growth (Perm), 100x damage boosted when at 10% or less health.

"Hey, what with the 'Effects are subject to change' just thrown at the end of the description?" I asked after having carefully looked over the skill.

"Oh, that? Bascially, every living creature is granted a special passive, and their able to grow and evolve as the creature does. So, yeah, that passive can become more powerful, and may even provide completely different benefits in the future depending on how you choose to evolve." The god replied, even if I couldn't see a distince figure, I could tell they were proud of their idea.
