[1st POV - Cain Leywin]

*Chirp* *chirp*

As I awaken to the morning sounds of birds chirping, I quickly realize that I am no longer within the dimension that Kalatus had created.

Sitting up, I examine my hands and notice a thin layer of blue dragon scales covering them, reflecting the rays of sunlight that touch my skin.

I had anticipated something like this to occur, considering that I was undergoing a transformation into a Dragon Human. However, there was a distinction between being aware of it and actually experiencing it...

Well, to be honest, I hadn't given it much thought.

Taking a moment to survey my surroundings, I immediately noticed that I was encompassed by lush greenery. Trees of varying girths and heights enveloped me, while the diverse array of plants displayed an assortment of colors, with a few even emitting a gentle glow.

This provided a clear indication of my location—the wilderness.

Rising to my feet, I brushed off my clothes before redirecting my attention to the environment around me.

To my surprise, the light particles I had observed earlier were now conspicuously absent. Squinting, I quickly accessed my status screen for further investigation.

My eyes widened a little as I took in the sight of my status screen. However, my expression soon returned to normal as I brought my hand up and tapped on the [Dragon Human] part of my race, completely ignoring the races that were represented by question marks.

[Dragon Human]: A race long forgotten by the beings in this world, a race bestowed upon the last hope of the Chaos Clan. As the Heir and last descendant of Kalatus, you have been granted this race.
Benefits:
• You no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep.
• Increased regeneration to unknown levels.
• Semi-immortality (you won't age once your physical age reaches 20).
• %}^}*]+]=}^€{+ <ERROR>

....

The overall benefits were useful. The first benefit meant that I didn't need to hunt for food or find drinkable water, as my half-dragon body would take care of those needs.

My regenerative capabilities are also enhanced with my new body, which is also beneficial. Previously, I could regenerate from a deep wound to my chest as long as I had enough time. With the boost from my race, I now have more opportunities to strengthen myself physically.
