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

[Day 30]

Uagh! I already am getting bored of this!

Just how big is this damn forest?!

I am going to kill myself out of boredom!

How can I get to know the world I am?!

It has been a whole ass month and absolutely nothing at all!

I mean… I guess I should be like a certain spider and be happy I am still kicking than anything else.

But where's the damn world building then?!

I want to know what this place is, let me know about it already!

Damn, I evolved yet I still don't have wings!

I have… over 900 Mana, but can I use it to fly with Wind Magic? I don't know!

So you know what? I woke up today after getting out of the damn hole and began to sue the Wind Magic I have been practicing this whole time.

I concentrated several gusts of spiraling winds around my body and generating some kind of net-like shape with them.

Yeah, this shit is extremely complicated to do, but with my Parallel Mind Thought Processing and High-speed thought Processing, I am somehow doing it.

And why am I even making a net? Because flying in this world with my magic doesn't work like fantasy worlds.

I actually need to shape the magic into something to fly, but what could I even shape it as?

I can't make wigs with it, nor make myself somehow float without anything supporting my entire weight.

So, I figured it out this way.

Yuki quickly jumps over my back as I create a net of spiraling winds, which carries me into the air.

It took some time, but we are actually taking flight now!

And my mana is dropping…

I keep flying upwards until we finally manage to get past the immense pine trees blocking most of the sky.

Then, we are greeted by a beautiful cloudy sky, and snowflakes falling over us.

Yay! I can finally fly!

My mana is being consumed like crazy, I consume around… 100 per minute?!

But I recover around 112 per minute.

As long as I don't fly around while shooting attacks, I can keep up flying… indefinitely!

Fuck yes!

And what greets our sight is… a beautiful wall made of snowy mountains, surrounding us.

Mountains, mountains, and more mountains.

And if I fly more than 30 meters above the ground, I begin to use more Mana, so this is my limit for the moment.

I glance in front of me, and I discover that we were walking through a long alley that is surrounded by mountains all around, like natural walls, which are filled with pine trees.

So this is why it was so god damn big, this thing extends for so many kilometers it's insane!

But there's a "road" and we just need to keep advancing through it.

But now that I can fly, I can more or less skip all the hardships of finding ugly monsters that want to kill me.

Well, those helped me grow stronger though, so we will descend to hunt for stuff from time to time.

With my great eyesight as a dragon, I have something like hawk vision, and I can easily see down below, finding prey will be even easier!

And this place is quite beautiful…

Such a big world, being caged in that forest really made me go mad, but now that we are flying all the way up, it really looks nice.

Although I don't think if I should go to the mountains, I believe there could be giant birds waiting to eat me.

And I would take a ton of time, only to probably see even more mountains…

And despite flying with the wind, my speed of flight is slower than a bird.

Nonetheless, it is better than nothing!

We are just starting, I just need to keep getting better at this while accumulating more Mana.

And now that I will constantly use it in wind magic, it should increase my proficiency in wind magic a lot, while also letting me exercise my mana so it can grow faster, I am getting closer to 1000 Mana after all.

And as we fly, Yuki is terrified.

"KYYYYUUUUUU!"

Calm down, we are just a few meters above the ground.

I am pretty sure that even if we fell from here, we would be fine, so stop being a crybaby.

However, I suddenly notice something within the horizon, right behind all the mountains very far away.

What?

Eh?

Huh?

What the heck is that?

And then… I notice that it was not just some weird cloud or shadow or something.

That's…

A tree.

A whole ass tree, so big it surpasses the size of mountains.

It is immensely thick too, probably thicker than a dozen of mountains.

And it extends widely everywhere.

It has enormous branches that reach above the clouds.

And there are many branches filled with greenery.

It is so big I almost feel like I get goosebumps.

Huh…

Woah…

This is not something you will ever see on Earth.

What is this? Why is there such an enormous tree?

From where it comes from?

The ground, duh.

Well, yeah, but…

Wait a minute… could this tree be Yggdrasil? It reminds me of it.

…

Nah, that's the mythology of Earth, this world should be completely different than anything on earth, it is probably named differently, I bet.

But the thing is, that tree is enormous and beautiful.

I can only faintly see it, as it is incredibly far away.

But it is so big you can even see it from such a distance.

Insane.

This is really another world… (Duh)

I guess I got a new goal, to go see the giant tree!

Yeah, it is childish, stupid, and nonsensical, but maybe it could be a nice place to settle down and learn more about the world.

If there is any intelligent race, they should most likely sit around the biggest tree in the world, right?

Maybe I could even find dragons too, who knows? Now I am quite excited…

But I am getting super hungry, so we decide to descend after I spotted prey.

But this prey is…

Eh?

It is a Wolf Leader but there's something seriously wrong with it.

It is covered in black ooze.

Wait, like… my nightmare?
