How Does One Become Strong?

Roc Blood

STREAK:POV

DING! I was rudely woken up by this annoying sound.

[As You have reached the required level you may evolve into one of the following]

[Ston-This is the evolution that comes after the baby ston, it has a larger body which is sleek,and can reach incredible speeds]

[Night ston-This variety of ston are very fast and sneak up on prey using the cover of darkness, almost as if they were assassins(Weaker in the day)]

[Day Ston-This Ston attacks head on using strength and speed to weaken their enemies while borrowing the power of the sun to regain lost health and stamina(Weaker in the night)]

[Giant Ston-This evolution has high potential for future evolution paths. The giant ston is a rare bird that has the powerful bloodline of the gargantuan Roc flowing through it's veins causing the bird to rapidly grow in size, speed and strength]

'There's not even any competition, Giant Ston. OBVIOUSLY! It sounds SO cool!'(Streak)

[You have chosen to evolve into the Giant Ston. You will evolve while you sleep]

After the notification went away I fell asleep on the spot. As I open my eyes I feel claustrophobic as I barely have any room to move in the cave, not being able to take it anymore I burst out of the cave breaking through the stone. DING!

[You have gained the skill 'Steel beak']

[You have gained the skill 'Steel Talons']

[You have gained the skill 'Wind Magic']

KIRITO:POV

As I'm walking back to the cave I see a large, dark purple bird standing 3 feet taller than me with sharp black eyes and a silver beak. On it's feet are long and sharp talons that are piercing the ground.

"Wow, what a magnificent bird"(Jack)

'Thank you, you also look magnificent Master!'(Streak)

"Streak, is that you? So you also evolved huh."(Jack)

"The roc blood inside you is really showing"(Jack)

For a few hours Streak and I had our first real talk before deciding to head back to the cave I had enlargened using earth magic. I decide to make some new clothes as my old ones had gotten too small. Thanks to the 'craftsman' Skill I got I had finished my new clothes(still only trousers) by the time the sun peaked up over the trees. Deciding that today I would test out my new skills I jostle Streak awake and walk outside to start testing all of our new skills.

First was Streak, his new skills included steel feathers, steel beak and steel talons which basically makes those body parts stronger than Steel. He also gained wind magic which is basically the same as my fire magic, meaning that,it only helps the control over that element but you still have to learn spells to use them. Streak also learned ' Nose Dive', this skill basically includes flying up into the sky and diving back down at over 200 mph to rip a hole through the enemy. Eagle eyes improves vision drastically.

Now it was my turn. The skills Iron skin, steel claws and steel teeth are all upgrades in strength from their precedents Hard skin, iron claws and iron teeth. Earth magic is in the same boat as fire magic and wind magic. Dragon tail is a technique used by the tail that does massive damage if it is a direct hit, unfortunately it is not very fast. The skill 'berserk' uses the engravings running down the side of my body as they start glowing, this skill can only be used when you are at under 3 health and it doubles all stats(except health) for 20 minutes, afterwards leaving you as weak as a newborn baby. As I had used berserk while testing my skills we had to go back to the cave and rest for a few hours. As I was sleeping I heard the all too familiar screech of the Ancient bird right outside of my cave.
