Everything about each skill had been embedded in Draco's mind, enabling him to use them proficiently.
Draco spent over five minutes reading through the information, rendered speechless. There were too many things he didn't understand, and it saddened him.
"I know you have a lot of questions. So, spit them out," Xylara's voice resounded.
"What is a Universe-Ranked Fire? Why the hell can I only use my flames when I activate their transformation skills? Is it true that I can plunder other flames and bloodlines? Why do I have such powerful Volkoid bloodlines? And what is the Demon Realm?"
Draco blurted everything out in one breath, his heart desperate for answers.
"Universal Ranked Fire? Demon Realm? Wait until you get stronger to know the answers," Xylara replied calmly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Your class has affected other classes, granting them the ability to plunder. That's why you can plunder other bloodlines related to yours."
"As for why you have such Volkoid bloodlines... don't ask me. Ask your parents."
"What do you mean by my parents? You know them?" Draco shouted, his voice tinged with happiness as he looked at Xylara with piercing eyes.
He wanted to know why his parents had abandoned him. *Does this mean one of my parents is a Volkoid? An extremely powerful Volkoid?* These thoughts raced through his mind.
But Xylara sealed her lips, only saying he needed to grow stronger to uncover the truth.
Draco clenched his fists tightly. As an orphan deprived of parental love, he had always been lonely. It felt as though he was destined to walk this path.
As he was deep in thought, a familiar voice startled him.
**[SYSTEM UPGRADE STARTING IN FIVE]**
**FOUR...**
**THREE...**
**TWO...**
**ONE...**
The panel disappeared from his view, and Xylara also vanished. He couldn't check his status; the only thing displayed when he tried accessing the system panel was:
**[23:57:23]**
It was a countdown, and it seemed the upgrade would take a full day before he could access the system again.
Thankfully, he still retained knowledge of most of his skills and could use them without the system.
However, it felt dull without her presence. Everything seemed boring in this forest.
"I'd better go hunt," he muttered. "And avoid dirtying this outfit for the next twenty-four hours."
He didn't know why he had recently developed an aversion to filth. He could feel his bloodline and abilities shaping him, but he hoped they wouldn't turn him into a mindless killing machine.

"What's wrong?" Draco had been walking for the past ten minutes and hadn't encountered a single Volkoid, which was unusual.
He kept walking, and walking, until he noticed the air turning chilly—a bit strange.
Stopping to observe his surroundings, he suddenly noticed numerous glowing eyes staring at him.
"Oh, shit," he cursed internally. He wasn't foolish enough to miss the fact that these eyes belonged to Volkoids.
*When did they get this smart?*
The scene felt oddly familiar…
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck Draco's head, causing him to clutch it in agony.
Fragments of broken memories rushed into his mind.
He saw three people whose appearances were unclear, fighting alongside him as they killed some rabbit-like Volkoids.
Sweat trickled down his face. Though the memories remained incomplete, they sparked hope for full recollection.
"It looks like I need to retrieve my talent," Draco murmured, eager to discover what had happened and reclaim his complete memories.
"But first..." He glanced at the group surrounding him. "Let's deal with these fries, find a nearby city, and locate Calonia." He chuckled.
Picking up a broken tree branch nearby, he readied himself for battle.
**SWISH! SWISH!**
Two strikes, two Volkoids down. The branch broke in the process.

Draco was surprised that this function was still active. His red eyes glowed with excitement. To him, these were walking EXP points rushing toward him.
Picking up one of the loot drops, which turned out to be a spear, he began his counterattack.
A whole group of Volkoids charged at him.

The system's notifications sounded like a sweet melody to him, filling him with a crazed delight as he indulged in the thrill of battle.
**A strike, and blood must flow.**
Unbeknownst to him, a wolf observed the chaos silently, its cunning predatory eyes fixed on its target.
Draco, completely engrossed in the fight, was unaware that he had caught the attention of this Volkoid.
He noticed that if he didn't eliminate the remaining Volkoids quickly, his clothes would get stained with blood.
**"Dragon Transformation Skill,"** he thought, activating the skill mentally.
The Volkoids froze as a noble aura emanated from Draco, striking fear into their hearts.
The ambush disbanded as they turned tail, their bodies instinctively fleeing from him.
The wolf, who had been targeting Draco, was the first to run. Its instincts screamed recognition—Volkoids with such an aura were not to be trifled with.
*What the hell is such a Volkoid doing here?*
Draco, ready for battle, blinked in confusion as he watched the Volkoids scatter like leaves in the wind, treating him like a plague.
"My EXP!" Draco cried out in despair.
Quickly deactivating the skill, he shouted after them. "Come back! It's a prank! This is your chance to take revenge!" He pretended to be gravely injured.
But the Volkoids didn't even glance back, disappearing into the forest while internally rolling their eyes. *Only a fool would believe you.*
Draco stood there, heartbroken. "My EXP..." he muttered, his expression akin to someone whose crush had rejected them.
Continuing to walk with a dejected expression, he soon realized all the Volkoids in the area had fled.
His face soured.
Never would he activate such a skill again, he mentally cried out.
