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

Yamata No Orochi, a powerful eight-headed dragon/serpent of Japanese Mythology, a monstrous being that tormented even the Gods in such tales, its power was said to be able to destroy even the world if it was let free. However, it was slain by Susanoo, the younger brother of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu.

And now I was becoming an Orochi myself, who would had known? Wasn't this a Norse Mythology inspired world? Wait, could have Yukihime's Unique Skills influenced this evolution to emerge based in such things as the Japanese folklore?

Huh…

Oh well, when I woke up, I had eight minds.

Each one thought by itself but was in the same body, sometimes I can do the same thing with clones, so it wasn't anything new.

Nonetheless, it still felt a bit weird but at the same time, quite cool.

"Finally awake.

"Indeed."

"This feels weird."

"Who's the real one?"

"I am the real one!"

"No, me!"

"Are we seriously going to do this?"

Of course, I was the real one, the others were my split minds, but they began to fight a little bit for who was the real one, a pointless dispute.

Nonetheless, by giving an order, all the heads quickly calmed themselves as their thoughts aligned with mine and they realized we were all one and the same, but thought differently, which would help us greatly in the future.

Ding!

Woah!

A lot of Skills awakened… So many! And there's more I didn't even knew that the profession-based Skills would turn into magic of their own! Cooking Magic sounds amazing! I already want to try it out…

And Mining Magic? Apothecary Magic?! I have to see what they do in the upcoming days… Maybe this could greatly help me out find special ores and more…

Also, Storm Magic turned into Windstorm Magic, and Death Magic into Nether Death Magic… their power as magic had been enhanced quite amazingly, specially my Windstorm Magic, it can really create catastrophes with wind now, even bigger ones that I could had ever been able to make before, how nice…

Technique Skills also awakened, turning into greater versions of them, while also acquiring my body parts on them, tail, scales, and just dragon I guess… makes sense, seeing how I use my body for them more than external weapons, as Skadi and Uller mostly fight independently.

And lastly, this evolution really increased my stats beyond belief! And to boot, I… Huh?

I gained another name, Orochi.

So I am Drake Fafnir Orochi? What a weird mashup of names… but somehow, it doesn't sound so bad.

Now that I got the time and I am just lazing around here, I should check the new Skills…

However, I was suddenly interrupted as I heard the screams of the people of the sect.

"Aaaahhh! A monster!"

"Run!!!"

"What is that thing?!"

"So monstrously big!"

Huh? Where's the monster?

Let me kill it for you guys…

Eh?

No, everyone is pointing at me.

Uwah! I am gigantic!

What the heck?

I am as big as Kumo!

I… I think I am around 50 meters big…

I can see the people like tiny ants…
