’So each level up gives 5 physical attributes points, distributed randomly. And 10 Mana points.’
Ryu murmured to himself and sighed,
’Sigh... It’s so little. I am not strong as a Average baby dragon yet.’
’Well, no point complaining. Hopefully the Fusion Lab will work on as well.’ he added with hope.
After that, he managed to hunt down a Dragonfly and a Moth.
From the Dragonfly, he acquired:
[ Extraction Complete ]
Bloodline: Sky Dragonfly (F)
Skill: Skyblade Wings (F)
> Increases flight speed, precision movent, and grants resistance to wind pressure and altitude effects.
And from the Moth:
[ Extraction Complete ]
Bloodline: Nightmare Moth (F)
Skill: Nocturnal Instinct (F)
> Enhances perception, stealth, and movent speed during nightti.

Neither of the two were ordinary creatures. Despite their small size, they possessed distinct magical traits.
But compared to his dragon body, even as weakest dragon, they were little more than bugs. And bugs were made to be eaten.
He would’ve liked to continue. The night was young, and his hunger for power had just been awakened.
However—
Grrrr!
A low growl rippled through the air. Then another. Then a third.
It ca from the shadows behind the thick trees, creeping closer with every heartbeat. Sothing or several sothings were drawn in by the energy pulses from the fights. Perhaps the scent of blood. Perhaps the magic he stirred up by using the Dragon God Codex.
Ryu’s small dragon body stiffened. His eyes narrowed.
"Crap... I was too noisy."
The comforting quiet of the forest had turned into sothing far more sinister.
Twigs snapped. The wind grew colder.
Sothing was coming.
Sothing that didn’t sound like a bug.
Without a second thought, Ryu scrambled toward the house.
"Rustle!"
A sharp movent was heard behind him.
"Whoosh"
Sothing leapt from the bushes.
He glanced back, and froze in terror.

[ Silverfeet Fox – Level 6 ]
[ Extraction Available ]
[ Warning! Hostile Intent Detected. Imdiate Evasion Recomnded. ]

’You don’t need to tell that, Dracina!’ Ryu scread inwardly, flapping his tiny wings to boost his speed.
It was a level 6 magical creature, getting caught ans imdiate death.
The fox’s silver paws glinted under the moonlight as it tore after him, each step leaving behind a shimr of magical residue.
Its narrowed eyes locked onto Ryu, burning with hunger and greed. This wasn’t just a hunt. it was a pursuit for evolution.
Ryu’s dragon bloodline was rare, and for creatures like the Silverfeet Fox, devouring a higher-tier being could an ascending to a noble bloodline.
"It’s fast! Super fast! Can I make it?"
His heart pounded.
Even for a fox, this one was abnormal. Its legs moved like streaks of wind, enhanced by innate magic—Silverfeet, just as the na implied.
He had barely covered half the distance to the house. There was still 50 ters left to cross. But the gap between him and the predator was closing with every heartbeat.
How would he survive this?
His only hope?
’That little girl... She might hear the commotion and help ...’
His only hope was the little girl.
But she was now asleep.
She had no idea her new companion was monts away from being devoured.
"For heaven’s sake, am I going to die here? Is this where my second life ends?"
[ Host detected in critical danger. Suggested action: Enter Fusion Lab to escape. ]
"Dracina!" he barked. "You’re telling this now?" He was speechless.
Without wasting another second, he activated the Fusion Lab, setting himself as the target exactly as the instructions had explained earlier.
As the space shifted, Dracina’s voice echoed from all around him.
"I sincerely apologize, Host. I believed you were intelligent. I assud you would figure it out on your own. But it seems I was wrong. Please forgive my miscalculation."
Ryuzen: "...."
Ryu stood silent for a mont, then asked,
"So you do know how to mock others, Dracina. Very good."
[ No, Host. I was simply being honest. ]
"Must you be so blunt?"
Ryu scratched an itch on his scaly butt and sighed, speechless.
Dracina didn’t respond, so he turned his focus to his surroundings.
He stood at the center of a white, shimring platform. The area around him glowed with radiant light, but beyond that was nothing but emptiness. Or rather, the thick Darkness. It was so suffocating that it could swallow anything that stumbled into it.
An invisible boundary shimred at the edge of the platform, keeping that void at bay. A quiet hum vibrated in the air, like the breathing of so hidden, slumbering engine.
"So this is the Fusion Lab. The target stands in the center of the formation... and this is where target, bloodlines and skills are fused," he muttered, glancing over the Archive screen hovering nearby.
Another screen floated beside it, showing the outside world in real ti.
Outside, the Silverfeet Fox prowled in confusion. It circled the spot where Yuki had vanished, ears twitching, nose sniffing the air. The sudden disappearance of its prey had thrown it off. It paced restlessly, snarling in frustration.
It was courageous enough to target a Dragonborne, but unfortunate that it had encountered Ryu, who was an anomaly.
His escape had been instantaneous, like slipping into a pocket dinsion. It was seamless, effortless. Magical. And more than anything, life-saving.
"I don’t know how many tis I can rely on this function," he muttered. "But even once... is already a miracle."
[ Rest assured, Host. You cannot use this function infinitely. It is restricted to 3 uses per day due to limited system resources. The Dragon God System exists solely to assist you in becoming an unstoppable Dragon God. Not a cowardly rat ]
"Uh. How exactly is that supposed to be reassuring, Dracina?" Ryu muttered, his expression deadpan. "Oh, I get it. You’re mocking again, aren’t you?"
[ Negative. The System has no authority to mock its Host. You’re my Master. ]
Ryu narrowed his eyes at the hovering screen.
"You say that, but your tone has a built-in sarcasm module, I swear..."
[ Host’s ntal stability is fluctuating. Please take a deep breath. ]
"You little..."
Ryu clenched his small claws, grinding his teeth. But in the end, he let out a long sigh.
"Fine, fine. I’ll save my outrage for later. Let’s focus. We’re inside the Fusion Lab now. Might as well see what this place can really do.."
