I haven't thought about it seriously before because I was occupied with more important stuff but are Epic rank monsters that common? Aren't they supposed to be near impossible to find, more like whoever finds them doesn't live to tell the tale but I am now doubting whether Epic rank is that high of a rank at all?
In just one day, I came across two Epic rank monsters even though they were newborns they were still Real Epic rank monsters. Epic rank or not, it doesn't change the fact that I am going to kill that baby dragon today. No pain no gain as people use to say in my world or do I say my previous world?
Although I am worried there will be more pain than gain or quite possibly pain only, I was a person who lived for overpowered skills, I cannot live without having anything overpowered in my arsenal of skills or abilities. And one thing that could possibly give me something overpowered is killing an Epic rank monster, not just any monster but a Dragon.
Maybe a title like the Dragonslayer or a new class or evolution or an overpowered skill that could obliterate anything on its path. Maybe I am daydreaming too much but nonetheless, I want something strong or close to it and that's it.
People may call me weird or stupid but it is just how I am. I cannot stand being weak at all. Even in games, I used to play, I bought all the top-up available just to be op for 1 day and quit the game the next day.
Now that I think of my previous life, I wonder if everyone's alright, my memory, whenever I try to think of my previous life, becomes hazy and although I still have knowledge of it, I cannot voluntarily try to remember anything. Well enough of this topic, we have some dragon busting to do.
The dragons rule the sky and land with their mighty strength and magic prowess. No living being can question its existence or strength unless it's another dragon. But that doesn't scare me, I, the mighty imp will have to slay this puny dragon today.
Hahahahahah….
Huff... I am too nervous. I overestimated myself, my hands shaking, I think of killing the dragon but my body is saying another thing. I am after all a human in an Imp's body.
Calm down, I can do this, calm down.
....
It's been 12hrs since I have been trying to settle down my nerves and fear. I am also starving and making myself more tired the more I stay like this. But I guess it was worth it for finally, I got something I could actually call op.
[Obtained skill-Calm down]
[Calm down- u calm down that is all]{unique}
Once I saw the orange colour on the spell all my fatigued and hunger were gone as if it was never been there. Ok, I was exaggerating there but it did relieve me a bit.
(Note: I will change the grading and ranks of the spell, monsters and class etc so that it will be easier to remember)
After using the skill I decided to hold off on fighting the dragon for another day, I have another goal, for now, that is to evolve. Also, I cannot fight the dragon while I am starving so I will gather essence and quench my hunger at the same time and evolve. Moreover evolving will give me a better chance as it will most likely make me stronger and I could possibly gain new skills.
Of course, I don't know how I will evolve but my 5head brain is telling me that as long as I have done all the available upgrades I would be able to evolve.

I only have 1 more upgrade that I can do and that will be pretty easy as long as I can find some easy prey. The only problem is the presence of an Epic-rank monster is deterring the other monsters from coming into my location. It is in a way a good thing but now that I want to find some monster to kill it is giving me a headache.
The only thing I can do is remember the place of my shelter and go out hunting. I will leave a trail from the shelter to where I am venturing, that way I don't lose my shelter and my chance to gain an op skill if I could perhaps kill that dragon.
Back into the hunt, I leave a trail every time I go into one of the tunnels of the dungeon. Now that I am fully rested I want to take advantage of it and hunt a new monster if not I could go back to hunting those lizards.
I have already spotted a few monsters on my way but I cannot take them on as they are staying in groups. No matter how brave or stupid I am, I cannot force myself to be gang-up by a group of monsters. The answer is to find one of them alone. Most monsters move in groups but there are obviously some that go alone. And after some more searching, I found what I was looking for.
[Vampire Rats(common)]
[Dwellers of the dungeon which feed on the blood of the monster. Thick fur, fast movement speed.]
Right now I am currently hanging exactly above the rat with my stealth skill on using my claws to grip on the wall of the dungeon. I don't have to think of any certain plan to kill the rat, I just jumped down from the wall and use pierce on its neck as I land on the back of the rat.
-41
I did more damage than what my strength could diss out maybe because it was a weak point. That is most likely the reason.
[Attacks to weak points will deal 3 times the normal damage]
+10 exp
Well, that confirmed it.
Just as I thought it died instantly, even though it had thick fur I was sure my claws with pierce is enough to pass through it due to piercing having the property to ignore armour. It did not have that much health either since it died from just 41 damage. It must have had around 30 to 35 hp.
Time to get the essence. I use absorb on it and I do not in any way want to eat a rat but my stomach doesn't agree with me.
The rat is as big as me and will be enough to satisfy my hunger but I really don't want to it or eat any other monster raw. I need to find a way to make a fire or hopefully get a fire-based skill.
[Absorb complete-gained 20 essences]
Damn, I was hoping for it to be enough to get the upgrade since I got 100 essences from that lizard before but it seems like I have to really eat it now.
I separate the meat from its fur and take a chunk of meat from a region that looked tasty for no reason whatsoever and chomp.
Ugghh
[80 essences received]
[Consuming the same monster again will give you 10 essences only]
Hmm? This means that I need to find a new monster if I want to upgrade more after I evolve. Quite a troublesome thing. I was thinking of grinding the same monster once I get strong enough but I guess I will have to ditch that plan now.
Before I take the upgrade and evolve, I took whatever meat I could carry with me and followed the trail I left to head back to my shelter. I reached the shelter and looked to see if the baby dragon is around. I didn't notice before but I took a closer look at the nest from which the dragon came.
And I realized it was not a nest but an egg instead. It looked like a nest because the walls of the dungeon have somehow covered part of it.
This means that I have to speed up my plans or else the baby dragon will leave and my once-in-a-lifetime chance to become overpowered may be lost.
[Upgrading to Armoured skin]Ughhhh!! I feel that I will have more chances of dying whenever I upgrade myself rather than from monsters!!When will it not hurt every time I get an upgrade…. They have said in the past that great risk brings great reward and of course that is true. But I don't know whether it is worth it at all. I hoped to minimise as much risk as possible, circumstances have forced me into being aggressive and thankfully it has paid off![Condition for evolution not met]Hmm? What? What am I missing here?

The moment the shell hit the floor, the baby dragon opened its eyes as it awakens from its slumber.I could feel the pressure it emitted as if a giant weight has pressed down on me, all I could do was to remain as still as possible. My senses were telling me to go and run away as fast as I can. Maybe me being a lesser demon affected me. I hesitated whether I should just give up and run away but I wanted to try at least once, u never know until u try right?However, it only looks at me once before it closed its eyes and resume what it was doing a moment ago. I instantly had one thought, maybe the dragon is in some process of evolution and cannot move? I could be totally wrong and fuck myself up but I believe that it is true.Before anything I want to see if analyze will show anything to me. that would be the safer and smarter thing to do.Analyze![Epic rank - Newborn Falak dragon][Offspring of the Epic Rank Falak Dragon.

"W-what's going on here?!"Someone shouted. Geometrical patterns, just like a magic circle you'd see in anime, formed on the floor of the classroom.Then, in the following instant, the space around them changed – turning into a large ground with a large circular plate with unknown symbols.An unknown number of people out of nowhere appeared on top of the circle as the archimages finished the ritual."Hurraaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"The people, citizens, everyone was on their knees as they shouted in unison. The otherworldly heroes were their hope. For every generation, they were told the stories of heroes, of how they slew the monsters of the dark, of how they protected the empire, of how they sacrificed their lives for the people. Instilled on each citizen was a deep sense of respect and honour for the so-called heroes. And today was such a day where they would get to see a glimpse of their heroes."..eh?'One moment they were si
It's been roughly 3 hrs since I started converting the high tier essence to normal essence.[5 secs remaining].........[Coversion complete][Gained 5000 essence]Niceuuuu!It is enough to get two skills at most. I didn't hope for much but I was hoping for it to be much higher than 5000. Since 1% is 5000 essence then all the essence available here is about 500000??? Damn what a huge waste!I have not realised it before but once I looked into the skills section again, I can't decide which skills to choose.One way is to take the Biokinesis which cost 4000 essences since I don't even need to injure the dragon's exterior and directly caused harm to its internal organs. But can it really do enough damage to kill it? most likely not.The other way is to take poison generation and amplify which cost 1000 and 1500 essence each. I can strengthen myself to penetrate the dragon's thick hide and apply

I was surprised. When I woke up, no I was actually really amazed that I even woke up.I thought I was dragon food all this time. But no need to think of it anymore. I don't know how I am alive but what matters is that I am still alive. But the other thing that took me by surprise is the body of the dragon in front of me, just a few metres away from me.I tried to get up but to no avail, even though I am alive my body is far from being fine. I cannot feel my right arm and my right leg at all. I am also sure I broke some of my rib bones. I still wonder how I am still alive in this state.I knew before I lost my consciousness that the system announced some notices to me. since I cannot do anything with the current state of my body I could check up on what I missed.[Level up][Level up][Level up][Level up][Level up]….Levelling up a total of 18 times in one go..even though the monster was Epic ranked, the level bo
It's been exactly 92 hrs or 4 days since I rested inside the egg to heal myself. The system literally meant what it said when it said my body will take 4 days to heal. Just a minute ago I couldn't move or feel my body at all. But now everything is fine as if nothing happened to me. not even a speck of injury or wound can be seen on my body.Must be the miraculous powers of the Supremacy system as it calls itself.Even the claws I lost have now regenerated and looks as good as new or even better!First of all, I need to find food, 4 days without a drop of water in my stomach is making me crazy, I cannot go on like this any longer.Of course, there is a large amount of food just right next to me but it is unedible'[Corpse of Falak Dragon][Unconsumable]Quite disappointing if you ask but I had no choice since the system deemed it to be unconsumable.

As soon as the Orcs approach I turn and run away into the cover of the trees, not too far away. I speed up directly to a bigger tree using stealth to at least fool the sense of the orcs for a few seconds.The enraged Orc begins their ascent as soon as they sensed me, charging directly at the tree. instead of running, I charged directly towards the orc as my eyes meet the eyes of the frenzied monster."how do I look, You pig?!"Just dodging their slow yet massive axe heading towards me, I strike his right arm holding the axe with full force.It tore through his arm as it let out an agonizing growl.All the other orcs came to the rescue of their comrade with no plans whatsoever. Can orcs even think?Not likely seeing their moves and fighting skill.A showdown between 4 orcs and a demon.They lunge forward with axes and claymores ready to chop me in half with their terrifying attack.When it strikes it hits nothing but empt
