The alarm on Sarthak's phone rings at 7 am. This sound breaks Sarthak's deep sleep. He lies down and without looking at the screen, moves his index finger from bottom to top, which turns off the alarm. "Last night I fell asleep while talking to myself!"
Sarthak says to himself while sitting and stands up and starts going towards the bathroom. "It's been a long time since I slept so deeply. Risking my life inside the dungeon is making a difference.
Because of that, at least I am not getting the same weird dream again. Anyway, I'll quickly get ready for school, otherwise I'll be late today as usual." While brushing his teeth in the bathroom he thinks, "Not much, but in all the comic books, manga, manhwa and fantasy anime I have seen, a screen similar to the one in mine appears in the air. If this Blood Dragon power was a system exactly like it is shown in the anime, then I would also have the 'Blood Dragon System'" In the next moment a screen opens in front of Sarthak between him and the mirror in which he was brushing his teeth.

Sarthak's status screen opens in front of him as he thinks of the Blood Dragon System in his mind, his status profile opens in front of him in which everything was written about him, his name, his level, his HP and his Mana Points. Due to the screen opening suddenly in front of Sarthak, the toothpaste in his mouth reaches his throat, to avoid swallowing which he punches his chest and spits it in the wash basin in front, he eats it.
cough... cough... cough... cough... "Ha.. what a bad taste this toothpaste has!" he says to himself after coughing, he then looks at the status screen in front of him with surprised eyes which was going with him wherever he was going.
He says while applying shampoo to his hair in the bathroom and cleaning his hair with both his hands, "This is great! If I am seeing such a screen in front of me then it means that I have a system, my level is one right now so my stats are also very low and all the skills are also locked, but what does the system have to do with race?"
Sarthak says to himself, he thinks about the race after which the system tells him in a machine voice in his ear. "Race, Race tells us about the races of life, Races are divided into many parts like Human, Lion, Elve, Wolves, Vampire, Cat, Dragon etc. Races always look different from each other, Animals and birds are also divided into races, their name indicates their races."
"ohh.. I see, so this is what race means, hmmm...! I am half human and half dragon right now, but this is so weird, I thought that dragons can never look like humans, or it could be that I am wrong because I was human before so when I changed my race there was not much change in me."
he said to himself and turns on the shower to wash his hair so that the water falls on Sarthak's head, he is in the bathroom without clothes, he looks at his body on the glass door of the bathroom and starts touching his waist, back, stomach and hands, "There is not much change in my body after getting the system but my muscles have started to come out and they are quite tight too."
He then touches his abs and says, "My abs are formed, they are not so clearly visible but they can be felt when touched!" He comes out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, he wears his clothes, school uniform which is a white shirt and full grey formal pants, he says with a surprised look, "These clothes are fitting me perfectly, earlier they used to be a little loose!" Sarthak understands that there were many changes in his body, he realizes that his height had also increased by a few centimeters.
After preparing breakfast and eating it, Sarthak wears his bag on his back and goes to school, he was tasting something different on his tongue, "Why is such a strange taste coming to my tongue!" He goes inside the metro station and stands a little distance away from where the metro arrives, he says to himself after looking around.
"Did I come too early today or are all these people also late for school like me?" Sarthak asked himself, around him he saw students from his school and other schools of the city who were waiting for the metro, he was surprised that how he got ready for school so early and reached here.
He heard a familiar voice coming from a distance behind him, "Now show me your bag, show me what you have brought today, show me how much money you have today." said the first boy who was sitting on the stone seating area around the pillar, his friend was also with him. Both the boys were sitting and checking the bag of a weak and skinny boy, both these boys were Nikhil's sycophants who always used to stick to Nikhil, the skinny boy whose bag they both were checking was named Anurag and he studied in Sarthak's school and in his class. When he hears a familiar voice, he turns back and sees Nikhil's two lackeys taking money and food items out of Anurag's bag, "Don't do this, I have only this much money for the whole month, give me my money."
Anurag says while trying to take his bag and money from them, but then one of Nikhil's lackeys hits Anurag's knee, Anurag bends down. "Look son, what is yours is ours, anyway what will you do with this money, you beggar, you don't even know that anything can be bought with this money except just collecting it."
said one of those two boys, that boy then throws Anurag's bag on Anurag's face and while standing up and leaving from there, he says with his friend, "So you take care of your bag and we will take care of your money!" saying this, he starts walking towards Nikhil laughing, Nikhil was busy with his phone. Anurag's voice was low and dry. He picks up his bag and says to himself, "That was my entire month's money which I had saved to buy a good Shakti Granth. I know that the money I had saved would not be enough to buy any Shakti Granth but if I had kept saving the same money for the next one or two years, I could have definitely bought a cheap Shakti Granth."
He stands up and holds his bag and waits for the metro with a sad and sad face. Sarthak sees all this. He says to himself, "Should I help Anurag?" he asks himself but then he looks at his status screen where it says level one.
"If I stay at level one and fight with Nikhil's lackeys, then there is no doubt that Nikhil will also come in between and right now I am not ready to fight with Nikhil, Nikhil is stronger than me right now but I have this strange feeling, I know that I am weaker than Nikhil right now but still I want to fight with him." Sarthak's eyes were fixed only on Nikhil and his two lackeys and slowly a smile starts spreading on his face, his eyes turn light red from light golden brown, he was having a strange feeling inside due to which he was not afraid of Nikhil.
"Am I having this strange feeling because I am seeing myself inside Anurag who had no power." He says to himself. Anurag's parents were very poor, they could hardly eat something good once in a month, their pockets were always tight but they did not want to ruin Anurag's life, so despite being tight pocketed, they used to give Anurag everything that he needed.
His parents did not have any power but they did not want that their son also spend his whole life without any power like them, so they were collecting money to buy a cheap Shakti Granth for Anurag, but today that money was snatched from Anurag by Nikhil's lackeys and Anurag could not do anything in this because in front of him were standing richer and more powerful students, with whom Anurag and his family did not want to have enmity even in their dreams.
Then they all see the metro coming, the metro stops and the doors on both sides open, all the students hurry and go inside the metro, when Nikhil also gets up and starts going inside the metro, he feels that someone is watching him, when he turns his eyes in that direction, he feels very strong eyes in the crowd.
He feels as if the eyes of a dragon are staring at him, Nikhil says to himself while removing his eyes from there, "What was this? Why did I feel that the eyes of a dragon are staring at me, was it my illusion or someone used their power on me." He asks himself but he is not able to think much about this.
"Someone in this crowd having dragon related powers means an awakener level power which hardly anyone in our school will have, so it must be my illusion." He gets on the subway and puts the phone in his pants pocket, saying, "I've been playing video games late at night these days, this is probably the result of that."
