New Skills
"Ignis! Ignis! Ignis Stellaris!"
Just as Roland was having a comfortable dream, an annoying voice kept inturrupted him, or rather multiple voices.
The window was opened and blowing cold air into the room, the thin blanket, provided little to no resistance to the cold.
'I really hate this! I gotta try to at least improve my living condition.' Roland kicked off the blanket and sat up.
"Thank you guys for waking me up early." Roland had set an 'alarm'to wake up early, so he can get some training time. The earliest bird gets the worm afterall.
"It's no problem. In fact there's already someone else who's awake in the main house, this person didn't sleep " The multiple voices sounded.
"Must be a guard or one of the servants." Roland mumbled to himself as he got up and left the room.
'Actually its niether of those, it's a lean man with red hair and...' Listening to the description of the stars, Roland was suddenly curious, "Boron? why is he still up?"
"We don't know. He has been sitting on his bed, drinking alcohol and gazing at us."
'Perhaps, the situation is more terrible then he mentioned' Roland's eyes lit up as he thought of something.
He quickly arrived at the reception desk and the the first lady he met here, Emily, was dozing off, rocking back and forth.
Roland passed by her and left the building. There weren't any guards because 'guards needed to guard something important'.
It was still dark outside, the chilling wind, brushed across Roland face, making him shiver a bit. He quickly went into the bath-house and found that the water was clean. Roland gleeful jumped into the cold water and quickly took a bath, changed clothes and returned to his room.
He sat down on the bed, crossed-legged, and closed his eyes. His mind moved and his consciousness shifted. He opened his eyes and found himself sitting on the throne. Roland focused and a window popped opened.

Roland closed his eyes again and his vision went dark. After waiting for a short while, he saw a white whisp in the darkness, floating about.
The whisp moved around aimlessly, without a certain direction. Roland focused and aimed his eyes in a certain direction and the whisp slowly followed.
He changed the direction and the whisp followed wherever he wanted it to go. Like a cat following a laser pointer with it's eyes, but in this situation the laser pointer was going wherever the cat wished.
Roland did this until he was familiar with the process. The more he did it, the faster the whisp moved back and forth. He did this until he suddenly got annoyed.
He opened his eyes and appeared on the throne, he looked at the opened window in front of him;

Title: Baron
Species: Dragon,(young)
Experience value: 50%
Fabric substance: 15 940
Assesment Comprehensive strength: F
'It seems like the experience value, is a representation of my progress of the current 'Baron' level, and the comprehensive strength is a representation of my strength.' Roland nodded as he looked at the increasing progress. He didn't know what he was doing but was glad that it was working.
He suddenly had an idea, he activated {Keen Intuition} and looked at the interface screen; foreign information suddenly appeared in his mind.
Roland now understood that this skill was just like a detector. It could not only detect the opponents level, but also identify object and give the coresponding information.
'I guess this isn't that bad of a skill.' Roland praised it and opened the skill tree window and he was suprised by the new information, right in front the two skills was one more icon that wasn't there prior.
[Skill tree]
[1. {Fabric conversion: intermediate}(Active skill- able to convert various substance into fabric substance and absorbe it. Each time costs 1 fabric substance, lasts for two hours)]
[2.{Keen intuition: intermediate} (Passive skill - grants the user an in-depth understanding of their surroundings and enables the analysis of the status of any target.).
[New Skill]
[1. Chaos Coating: Early } (Active skill- covering the surface of the body with chaos power to enhance it. Each time costs 50 farbic substance; lasts up to 10 minute (Can be used once an hour))]
The icon on the skill was that of a strong arm, that was suddenly covered with a dark color as it flexed.
It seems like with each level he crossed, not only would the system improve, but so would the skills. Not only did the pevious skills improve but, a new skill was added. There should be more skills in the future.
There was currently three skills; {Fabric conversion} and {Keen Intuition} were passive skills. Meanwhile the new skill {Chaos coating} was an active skill.
Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help getting excited, he suppressed his emotions and quickly exited the system.
Coming back into his room, Roland suddenly froze. He felt a small and vague energy running around inside his body. Confused, he moved his mind and was surprised when he controlled it.
'This is that mysterious power that everyone is talking about.' Roland quickly supressed his emotions and got up. Thinking about his new skill, {Chaos Coating}, Roland suddenly felt his hand itchying to try it.
He closed his eyes, and lifted up his arm. Suddenly, the vains in his arm bulged out and a dark light slowly covered it. Roland couldn't help but flex his arm a few time.
Roland suddenly grabbed the leg of his bed and tried picking it up. The bed was suddenly lifted up into the air with absolute ease. He placed it back down, a shallow handprint was left on the iron leg. He coated his other arm and grabbed the iron bars from the window. The iron bars were suddenly pulled in different diractions. He applied pressure and fixed the bars.
If not for fear of alerting others, Roland really wanted to go on a rampage.
Strength! this was the feeling of strength!
'Finally!!!' Roland wanted to scream out loud, instead he jumped up in excited, but he used to much force and with a 'bam' hit the ceiling 3 meters high. Then with a 'thud' he hit the floor. Luckily his hair had cushioned his head and his ass broke his fall.
"Ignis! are you ok?" The window was opened so the stars were able to see everything that was happening outside.
"Yeah! I'm fine thanks for the care." Roland felt embarrassed that 'someone' saw him. He took this chance to quickly hide his excitement.
"It's our only job." The voices sounded again, Roland frowned when he heard these words.
"What do you mean by 'job'?"
"...."
The stars suddenly remained silent, Roland found this weird. Although it was getting brighter outside, the stars were still visable and could undoubtedly communicate, so they chose to stay silent. This was undoubtedly a first. 'Is there some story behind this?
"You gus don't have to answer me if you don't want to, but i'm still greatfull for your help." Roland responded, he had already received a lot of help from these guys and hoped they would help him some more in the future.
"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that, this contains the secrets of the past and it might not be the right time to tell you. Maybe when you've reached a sufficient level of strength." The voices explained.
'Is this about what happend to the dragons or a much oldee thing.' Roland was burning with curiocity, multiple questions arose in his head but he supressed it . "No problem I'll wait."
"By the way, can every dragon communicate with you guys?" Roland sat down and shifed his curiousity to something else.
"No, we can only communicate with Star Dragons, the other dragons can't hear us either."
'The hell is a star dragon?' Roland was confused by this foreign concept. From the archives of information he collected in his previouse world, he couldn't find a semblance of this. 'So, I'm assuming I'm an even rarer dragon, I wonder how star dragons stack up against other dragons in terms of strength.'
"The man you wanted us to watch has left the house on the hill" Just as Roland was contemplating, his thoughts were inturupted.
The man they were talking about was Francis, it seems like it was almost time to clock in.
"I'll talk to you guy's later." Roland extanded his hand and a brown book appeared in his hand. He still had some questions to ask but they could still be postponed.
He left his room and quicking arrived at the reception room.
"Your suppose to leave your key befor you leave so you don't lose it dear." Just as Rolnd was walking out, h was reminded by the lady at the desk.
The time it wasn't Emily, it was a lady with purple hair. They must have changed shifts.
"I dont mind holding it, I promise I won't lose it." Roland saw the play yesterday and didn't want to fall in accordance with the long wait, which will undoubtedly resulting in bathing with everyone.
"No dear, please leave it with me, I promise I'll take care of it." The woman didn't want the 'kid' to make a mistake.
Roland knew that she was looking out for him so he reluctedly gave her the key, he pretended like he was taking it out from his pocket.
"What's your name little man?"
"Roland."
"Well Roland, I promise to give this back to you later ok?" THe womn leaned over, exposing her deep clevage, which pacified some of Roland's anger and unwillingness.
'Could you not treat me like a child, I'm already 25 years(14).' Roland could only nod his head in response. The woman, looked mature and beautiful, and her charm certainly worked on Roland.
Roland also spotted the slave tattoo on her collarbone, which made him sigh.
"Morning Vivian, Your up early." Suddenly, Roland heard Butler Francis' voice.
"Good morning Francis." The woman, Vivian,responded.
Butler Francis nodded and turned to Roland, "Have you already taken a bath?"
"Yeah and I was just waiting for you." Roland fixed his messy hair and stood up straight.
"But, I don't remember saying I was gonna come fatch you today." Butler Francis raised an eyebrow
Roland lifted up his head and said, "Well nop, but as the young miss's servant, I must at least have this ability, I don't think we should waste time."
Roland replied quickly but the word, servant felt sour in his mouth.
Looking at the proud expression on the boy's face, Butler Francis couldn't help but let out a few giggles. These were the words he had said to Roland on the first day of his job, he was ammused to say the least. He quickly regained his composure and said, "Very good, I suppose we shouldn't waste time."
Looking at the two figures walking away, Vivian couldnt help but let out a smirk, "Have a nice day you two."
"You too."Butler Francs responded.
