Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Quickly after Kate got her egg, I analyzed it using my Analysis Ability contained within the System. The egg was actually more simpler than I imagined.

[Spirit Wood Golem Egg (B+ Grade)]

An Egg containing an Embryo of a Spirit Wood Golem, a powerful golem made of spirit wood. It can evolve into various forms upon hatching and absorbing divine power from the foes it defeats. It can develop intelligence and special abilities to assist its master.

To hatch, imbue your Mana into the egg. Can only be hatched by the True Master.

"I see how it is… Imbue Mana into it dear." I told Kate.

"Oooh! Oway!" Kate nodded, quickly imbuing her Mana into the egg.

FLUOOOSH!

However, the egg suddenly began changing of color. It went from the brown color it had before to completely gray and its surface transformed from wooden to metallic! Wait, what?!

The egg suddenly transformed into something completely different… yet the same?

[Spirit Mechanic Golem Egg (A Grade)]

An Egg containing an Embryo of a Spirit Mechanic Golem, a powerful golem made of spirit metal. It can evolve into various forms upon hatching and absorbing divine power from the foes it defeats. It can develop intelligence and special abilities to assist its master.

It has now been transformed from its original form to a form most suitable for the user, absorbing the Attributes of System, Technomancy, and Creation to attain a brand-new form.

To hatch, imbue your Mana into the egg. Can only be hatched by the True Master.

It even became A Grade! This is pretty awesome if I have to admit it… And just as I was inspecting it, it began hatching. The hard metallic eggshell slowly shattered into pieces, as from within, a creature emerged.

"Beep!"

It was a small robot! It resembled… A slightly humanoid robot, but a cool one, kind of like a mech from the Anime back at Earth. It had some sleek and sharp designs, with a big V-shaped metallic piece on its chest. Its head was blue with red Y-shaped eyes.

And this was a golem… But that was also similar to conventional monsters because it was able to evolve and grow stronger by absorbing the energy from foes. Although it starts as a divine being right away, so it needs divine power to continue developing.

"Uwaah!"

Kate seemed pleased by her mech, as she grabbed it and moved it around happily as if it were a toy. Well it's kind of was, it barely did anything other than look at its master calmly. I suppose it has the patience to deal with her.

"Anyways, as everyone could see this dungeon gives a treasure chest once we finish the Field Boss, and there's four more. Let's go, I can sense a powerful presence in the desert nearby. If these are "Field Bosses" then this whole landscape is part of the dungeon's challenge." I said. "The Yggdrasil Dungeon seems to be devoid of any monster inside…"

"I see! So the whole dungeon is this region we must complete by hunting the monsters and their Field Boss, right?" Wondered Benladann. "Then it is not truly an Yggdrasil Dungeon? Why would such a place be the dungeon of a giant tree?"

"I have no idea…" I sighed. "But maybe we'll learn more as we complete more of these little quests?" I wondered. "It is a Dream then it is also showing us a memory of the past, this entire landscape must be something related to the Yggdrasil Tree I am growing, that branch I got must have had more history than we think."

"Huh, if this is truly a Dream then that's a big possibility." Miranda agreed.

"Interesting… Alright, let's go!" Benladann agreed.

However, before we could leave to the nearby Desertic lands, we were suddenly stopped by a voice which whispered to us from within the tree, which started glowing brightly.

"First were the Guardians, fallen to the hands of the gods."

It was only that, before it stopped.

"What was that?!" Miranda freaked out. "Did the tree spoke?"

"I think… it is talking about something, maybe telling a tale?" I wondered.

"Huh…" Benladann began thinking about it. "Perhaps as we defeat the other Field Bosses, more of these words will be revealed to us…"

FLAAASH!

And right in front of us, a sphere glowing with bright golden brilliance appeared, slowly falling into the palm of my hands.

Ding!

[You acquired the [Yellow Orb of Life (??? Grade)]!]

[Yellow Orb of Life (??? Grade)]

A mysterious Yellow Orb imbued with the mystical power of Life itself. It contains a primordial power within this world, and it might react with the Tree of Yggdrasil once you collect the other four Orbs.

"I see… it is becoming clearer what we must do…" I sighed, I quickly explained to my family about the orb's description.

"So we can get more orbs by defeating the Field Bosses, and at the same time also learn about the tree's history, perhaps?" Wondered Miranda.

"I could bet my dinner that that's the case." Benladann seemed confident.

"Then let's not sit idly for longer. Girls, let's go!" I called my daughters but Benladra called us back.

"Here! Mommy, daddy! Auntie!"

She called us to sit down over Whitey's back instead, and her mount would lead us to our destinations… Well, I guess its fine.

"CRAAAAH!"

Whitey cried like a loud bird, flying down into the deserts. The moment we reached this place, the temperature got incredibly hot and arid, and the beautiful golden dunes in front of us seemed dreamy. We saw big cactuses everywhere, decorating the desolate yet beautiful sea of sand.

"This is just a big and endless desert, isn't it?" Benladann yawned. "Ah, it's so hot in here… Maybe I should get some bikini. Wearing dresses got me bored already."

"Hmm~ Yeah, maybe I should get one too, something matching as well." Giggled Miranda.

The two girls looked at me with a smile, as if they could tell I was imagining it all…

"Well maybe we could go to the beach later-"

SPLAAAASH!

Before we could continue our talk, something big emerged from the dunes!

"GRUOOOOOHHHH!"
