8 I will become the new Dragon!

'Yawns' Ziade stretches and gets off the bed and puts on his filthy clothes, since he doesn't want to go outside being naked making others around him thinking he's a weird child.

Ziade finishes putting his robe on and his sandals on as well before grabbing the key and the bucket then locking the door after he was outside. With the bright sun and sky that hangs over him he knows that he slept till the early afternoon.

Ziade heads out to ask one of the farmers nearby to see where they collect their water from and to see if he can use it too. Ziade soon finds a farmer bringing back the harvest of purple apples this year in his basket. Ziade walks up the farmer who is busy looking at other farmer's diligent efforts and interrupts him.

"Excuse me Sir... do you know where I can collect water from?" Ziade says while lifting up his big bucket in a cute way to the farmer.

"Yeh I do son, you wouldn't be the new kid everyone's talkin' about that just moved in to the abandoned hut?"

"Yes that would be me, but can you please tell me where to get the water from Sir?"

"Oh sorry buddy, if you do live at that little house then from your doorstep you just need to go a couple tens of metres then turn left around the cotton farm to find the well on the right side of the path." The farmer explains.

"Thankyou, can I have some apples please?" Ziade asks with a cute voice to try and sway him.

"...You sure can!" The farmer chucks five apples from his two baskets after he puts down the baskets, the farmer chucked them into the bucket of which Ziade his holding.

"I'll give you one more if you tell me your name, my name is Guhera" The farmer says to Ziade with a smile and his right hand holding a purple apple.

"I am Ziade, Mr Guhera, nice to meet you." Ziade replies while Guhera is throws another apple into the bucket before saying, "Well Ziade you better be on your way than."

"Ok." 'He seems like a good fella.' And Ziade walks off back to his house to follow the directions he had been given.

Ziade follows the directions and arrives at the well with his big bucket and hooks on his bucket and lifts it up struggling with a red face.

Then a little girl comes with a small bucket is walking towards him, Ziade notices her and says, "Hey young lady, my name's Ziade, what's yours?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I told you mine so that would be manners." Ziade replies with a small smile.

"Elizabeth Nomso, 6 years old, and you look like you need help lifting that?" Elizabeth replies.

"...I do... please help..." Ziade says while lifting up the big bucket of water with all his strength he can muster.

She drops her bucket and runs on over to help the boy she has just met, they both lift up the bucket of water with much struggling and somehow get the bucket of water on the ground. Both exhausted from the ordeal, they drop on the ground sitting down while panting...

Ziade and Elizabeth sit there on the dirt... Ziade starts to stare at her face to get a good look at her, she had thin lips, small nose, short eyelashes, fine eyebrows, light tanned skin, really dark red eyes but if one didn't look closely enough they would assume it is just brown eyes, a little bit too small ears she had a clean face and lovely light brown hair that was braided and lied against her shoulders. He also noticed that she had dirt under her nails. 'Must like to help around the farm...'

Elizabeth notices as well and says, "What are you looking at?"

Ziade stays quiet thinking of something, 'I'm going to live my life with happiness not depression... Tara I hope you become happy too..'

"Elizabeth you're quite beautiful why are you on a farm?" Ziade was thinking that she was quite pretty might not be the most beautiful girl he's seen but she was pretty and that she had this certain charm to her that attracted him.

"Ziade how old are you?" Elizabeth dodges the question.

"2 years old." Ziade replies.

"...You're two and you're already attracted to woman, I wonder how many woman you'll court." Elizabeth wonders.

Ziade is amazed at her intellect and speaking... and so is she...

"I wouldn't say I'm attracted just living free, anyway you dodged my question Ezlizabeth..." Ziade says with a smile.

"I live on a farm that has sheep with my father, my mother died during child birth... she might not live us now but she lives in our hearts... and that's why I live on a farm because my Dad looks after me" Elizabeth replies with sadness and loneliness in her voice.

"...Elizabeth... I can help out around the farm and maybe you can visit me sometimes?" Ziade tries to cheer her up.

"...You're so young and I don't even know where you live." Elizabeth Nomso replies.

"I live just around the cotton farm beside us, in the small hut down the road... and you're young as well." Ziade responds.

"I might be young but I'm 4 years older than you. Anyway what about you why are you helpng out me, don't you have your family and farm to help and manage?"

"Elizabeth I've never had a family I live on my own and survive by myself." Ziade replies.

"... I'm sorry for assuming... and I will visit you sometimes... I live down this path where the sheeps are." Elizabeth says while pointing to where she came from.

Ziade gets up from his break and so does Elizabeth and then he says, "Cool and no problem I didn't take any offence, just make sure you tell your father that you've made a new friend named Ziade and I will come over sometimes to help out."

"...Ziade... why are you doing this...?" Elizabeth asks.

Ziade looks straight into her beautiful red eyes and she looks into his bright hazel eyes, "Well... Elizabeth Nomso... it's because I feel like it." Elizabeth has a confused face and and has a weird smile, she turns around to hide it then she hears.

"Well I better get going Elizabeth I'll see ya later." Ziade says while lifting up the bucket with inhuman strength trying to act cool.

Elizabeth turns around and looks at him, "You need help?"

Ziade clearly struggling but then he wants to act cool and unleashes superhuman strength and lifts up the big bucket with a constipated face. Ziade walks away with the bucket leaving Elizabeth standing there.

Elizabeth quietly chuckles picking up her bucket heading to the well, knowing what he's trying to do but lets him have his moment by not laughing out loud...

Ziade arrives at his little house and drops the bucket of water slowly to not spill any water. He opens the door with his key and drags the bucket in. Ziade closes the door and locks it then he looks at the window in his house... then realises... 'wait can people see through that window...'

He then goes through his memory and deduces that others can not since he couldn't see a thing through the window when he walked by. 'Whew... close one...' Ziade says in relief.

He immediately strips down from his robes and cleans himself with the soap, then scrubs himself down and jumps in the water to wash himself, he does the same thing again after washing his face and hair with the soap, Ziade just lays in the water relaxing since he hasn't had a bath in quite a while.

He notices that he is actually quite tall for a two year old since he is about 100cm in height. As he noticed this he looks down... at the reflection of the water and notices his face... there were actually lines...

'Haha I look like Itachi from Naruto... that's what Josh was talking about... thankhell, I thought I had a facial deformity... he said I need to stop stressing? It's not stress it's just my face... but if I do frown often, that line will become more noticeable...' Ziade says to himself and also moves his hair around to be like Itachi and he's got the long hair to do it. 'A young Itachi.' Ziade smiles since Itachi is one of three of his favourite characters in all anime history.

'Ok! Now that I'm relaxed... let's use the three MASTER SPINS!!!

'Inventory'

Strong Compass, Throwing Knife,Pouch of Gold coins, Death Worm Poster, 3 Master Wheel Spins.

'Lottery Jackpot Wheel!' Ziade sees a function in the bottom and presses on it, 'Supersonic Spin!'

'Congratulations Ziade you have won 1 Miscellaneous Item, 1 Skill and 1 Weapon.

Skill: Lickety-Split Walking

Information- Allows the user to walk with 4 times the speed of sound and once their walking they can see everything clear as water to them. One must train this technique by practicing to achieve it.

Weapon: Masamune Katana

Information- A katana with the length of 2 meteres, A slightly curved Katana which is unbreakable, this Katana is a very prideful sword and will not let a weak master unsheath it. This sword weighs 10 tonne but is compressed by a legendary scabbard with golden snakes wreathing around it, the sheath is locked into the Masamune and will not allow itself to leave it until it knows the master is strong enough to wield the blade. The blade comes along side with two items; The Sheath and the invisible belt. The invisible belt goes around your waist or your chest and gravitates the Masamune towards it resulting in the katana sticking to the body with the belt. No one including you can see or feel the belt that holds the blade.

Miscellaneous Item: Illustrious Flute

Information- A mythological flute that is able to play up to 1 kilometre with perfect tune.

"Holy shit I just hit the jackpot!!!" Ziade yells inside his bath. Ziade jumps out of the bath and dries himself with his blanket since he doesn't have a towel.

Ziade is so exited that he directly opens his inventory.

'Inventory!'

Strong compass, Throwing Knife, Death Worm Poster, Masume Katana, Invisible Belt, Illustrious Flute.

Ziade speedily gets out the invisible belt... he then realises that... it's invisible and obviously he can't feel or touch it... he just gives up trying to locate it and takes out the Masamune...

Masumune has a intricate and complicated design on its scabbard, the Sheath has golden snakes coiling around each other and there seems to be millions of them. The scabbard... is simply beautiful... after Ziade finishes checking it out he tries unsheathing Masamune even though he knows he can't... there was no reaction.

'I can't even budge it, that's expected.'

The haft of the Katana is designed with Criss-crossing lines and it's pitch black... they would appear black lines... but are actually pitch black snakes in motility between black chains that surround them.

As Ziade was checking out his new Katana a thought suddenly pops up in his brain, 'Shift.'

The Masamune instantly appears against his waist seemingly appearing as it is floating horizontally behind his waist...

'So the belt was already on me, hmm?...' Ziade thinks.

'Okini can you tell me if there's any challanges or quests right now?' Ziade asks Okini while just letting the 2 metre long katana seemingly float against his waist.

'No quests Ziade but there is a two challanges right now, challanges are to place your poster in your room and the second one is to buy is to make a training ground for yourself behind your small house in a month.

Ziade is disappointed he has no quests to work towards so that he can get some rewards but he just thinks that maybe he is too young. 'Ok let's place this poster real quick.' Ziade cleans his clothes by putting them in the bath then scrubbing them, after he cleans his clothes he places the desert robes lying against the wooden chair to let them dry, he makes sure to dry his hands and body with his bed blanket since he doesn't have a towel before proceeding.

'Inventory'

Ziade's sees the Death Worm Poster in it's slot and it instantly appears in Ziade's hand rolled up.

He unrolls the poster and guesses that the posters measurements are about, 80x80cm.

He doesn't have anything to stick it to or hang it to so Ziade thinks of something crazy, 'Death Worm Poster...' then he just gives up because he knew it wouldn't be work... 'Hey Okini is there a magical way to make this poster stick to anything?'

'Say 'attach,' Ziade.' Okini replies.

'Attach...' The Death Worm Poster instantly is stuck on Ziade wall so when he opens the door it is straight in front him. Ziade observes the poster... it is a close-up birds eye view when Ziade was standing on the dead Omdurman and it has the massive death worm with millions of teeth about to eat Ziade but Ziade stands there with arms relaxed beside him and is looking down at it in a condescending way... 'Great Poster.' Ziade is amazed at himself.

'Challenge complete Ziade'

'You have received a reward package of miscellaneous items.' Okini announces.

'Rewards are:

Black track pants- something you wear. Adjusts itself to appropriate size.

Black underwear- something you wear. Adjusts itself to appropriate size.

White T-Shirt- something you wear. Adjusts itself to appropriate size.

Steel Shovel- a tool used to mainly dig.

5 tonne, pair of leg weights- leg weights that weigh 5 tonne. The pair weighs 10 tonne.

1000 Appies- currency.

Dragon Thumb Ring- a ring that goes on a thumb, this magical ring changes its size according to any thumb or growing person.

Floating Lava Lamp- a lava lamp which floats whereever, whenever according to the owners will.

Thin paintbrush- tool used to paint.

Shampoo- hair product.

'Package of ten items has been dealt.' Alexis Okini states.

"... wow." Ziade is amazed and come to a conclusion that packages are ten items after quick maths.

Ziade gets out the shampoo and places it next to the bucket of water, then he takes out the paintbrush and places it on his windowsill. 'It really is thin.' Ziade thinks before continuing to sort through all the items he received while still... naked... By the end of it he has an 1000 appies to his 2000 appies, a steel shovel against his wall.

Black track pants, black underwear and a white t-shirt on, also a intricate chinese dragon coiling on his left thumb. The last thing he pulled out was... his floating lava lamp, it floated in his room which had minimal light in it but the lava lamp now made the room have a yellow light in the room. The lamp floated in the air slowly moving like a turtle and whenever it got close to another object it would switch direction... it was very cool. He left the leg weights that weighed... 10 tonne in his inventory.

Ziade had finished everything he needed to do and headed out with his new attire. He was walking outside to practice with his sword with some basic sword manoeuvres and attacks he had learnt his past life.

Ziade reaches behind his house where there lies 50 metres of dry and hard dirt as the surface. Ziade positions himself in the middle of the field and swiftly grabs his Masamune and attacks the air doing a simple forwards slash then a diagonal slash, making sure to not hit the ground since he is only 1 metre tall. Then a Notification comes...

'Congratulations you have mastered the way of the sword, Sword Master level achieved.'

'With the Sword Master level achieved, your whole being is a blade of your will, you can split mountains in half with the swing of your sword, your sword intent can pierce through metal. You have mastered all arts of the sword and control every power you have with absolutely perfect precision. Any sword wielded you will will be proficient in wielding also any sword you brandish, you will feel no weight or resistance from because all swords respect your level of...'

'SWORD MASTER.'

'Sword Master level achieved with the skill, 'Lightning Comprehension.' Okini states.

Ziade then uses his Lickety-Split walking and it feels like he's walking but just a little bit faster. He receives another notification.

'Due to 'Lightning Comprehension' you have mastered Lickety-Split Walking, you can now walk at 4 times the speed of sound at your will and you can control how fast you walk.'

'Congratulations for mastering the skill Ziade.' Okin says.

'...hahahahaha!!!! I am already so powerful!! Hahaha! Okini does that mean I can master Magic and Body Tempering in an instant? Please say yes! I can win any battle now!' Ziade screams in the Afguma due to overwhelming exitement.

'No.' Okini flatly states resulting in Ziade shutting up.

'...please tell me why Okini.' Ziade asks.

'With 'Lightning Comprehension' you may be able to cheat and gain skills and techniques instantly... but Magic and Body Tempering are no skills... Magic is something you earn by cultivating it and studying how your body reacts to it and stores the force, then learning skills and techniques that operates magic. Magic is no skill, you may be able to learn the skills of Magic in lightning speed but you must learn yourself how to use Magic. With Body Tempering, that is a practice of the body and no skill, you must also cultivate it diligently by breaking down your body and repairing it. Also learning how to utilise the power within you. If you cultivate both to the max they've will congeal then you will have the power to comprehend the VOID. '

Ziade had no comment on what was just said and learned that he will never be cocky and arrogant again, for now at least.

Ziade had acquired countless amounts of knowledge that was engraved in him. Everything he instantly knew, Ziade knew that he... had full control over his power and also knew... that he could unsheath the legendary... Masamune.

Before he does he checks his status: 'Status.'

Host: Ziade

Age: 2 years old

Sex: Male

Battle Capacity: Sword Master

Skills: Lightning Comprehension, Dimensional Language, Lickety-Split Walking.

Pets:

Funds Available: 3000 Appies

'Alright cool, three skills already at 2 years old, now I just need to train my body to at least the Origin Endocrine stage by the age of 12 before I enter the Magic Academy.'

Ziade unsheaths the Masamune making sure to compress its sword intent... Ziade feels how strong Masamune is and the hidden weight of 10 tonne, he believes that body cultivators at the Origin Cell Divider stage who didn't cultivate in magic as well he'd be able to defeat. Ziade knows that he can defeat practitioners who solely cultivate either magic or their body who are at the 7th level unless they have defence techniques or have faster speed than he does. Ziade was now on par with the 7th levels but he knew not to get arrogant or cocky because he still had no defence if he got hit once by a powerful foe he'd be dead and if they were faster than him then he's already lost.

'I need to train my Magic and Temper my body if I want to be the strongest... but cultivation... is a long road and to survive.. I need power and some powerful friends I can trust, and the perfect place to make friends... is the academy,. I wonder what academy I'll choose... meh I'll decide when the time comes.'

Ziade has decided to train his body while he's waiting to learn magic, spend some time with his new friend Elizabeth Nomso and finish his challenge on creating a training ground behind his house. Maybe learn some cool skills, the rest... he'll find out along the way.

BRUCE LEE! I WILL BECOME THE NEW DRAGON!
