Even as my siblings were eating, I was hesitant.
I felt my inner selves arguing in my mind.
I have to eat to cure this hunger, but its another dragon.
I never though I'd have to eat another dragon
I blame dad for always bringing in tigers and making think this way.
No, that's not fair to dad.
Even if he is grumpy, he does bring in a lot of food for us.
I shouldn't be t oo surprised, even dragons will eat other smaller dragons if given the chance.
But even so.
This is a major hurdle in my new life.
I'm hungry.
My stamina's low.
I needed to eat and the food was slowly disappearing.
Either now or never.
I made my choice.
I swallowed my pride and my heart along with each bite.
It was good
Each bite was good.
It was easier to chew than the tiger but the taste was just as bland.
It was less juicy though.
Maybe because it was thin and lean?
Every bite filled my stomach and crushed my heart.
I felt something inside me breaking.
I had to check my Status as I ate.

Nothing is changing.
I'm not taking damage and I'm slowly gaining stamina
So why am I getting hurt?
Why does my chest feel heavier the more my stomach fills.
Heh...
I know the answer already.
Its guilt isn't?
Guilt from eating the one thing I love.
The pain in one's heart cannot be measured by numbers.
I finish and Lay down
I have to lay down.
I don't have any energy to play.
Even if I did, I didn't feel like it.
I feel sick
I truly feel sick.
Someone nudges me.
Its Sis #5.
Sorry sis...
I don't feel too good.
I'm going to sleep okay?
Goodnight...
I wake up the next morning with a very heavy feeling
Has my conscience made my guilt physical?
Judging by the black scales on me, I'm gonna say no.
I look over my shoulder and see my sis laying on top of me.
Among other siblings.
Are they trying to crush me?
What were they thinking?
Ugh I feel really hot.
So with a bit of squirming I pull myself free from the dragon pile.
Ugh...you're all heavy.
Next time, I'm sleeping on all of you.
Okay let's check our status this morning.
Male Magma Dragon Wyrmling (Variant)
HP: 40
MP: 20
ST: 98%
Skill:
「Scratch Lv3」「Fire Resistance Lv8」「Electricity Resistance Lv1」「Plasma Resistance Lv1」「Pain Resistance Lv7」「Observation Lv4」「Hidden Lv???」
Huh?
I have two more Resistances?
How did that...
No way.
The dragon?
Was it because I ate the dragon before?
It must've had something to do with it being a different type of dragon.
Perhaps us eating it gave us resistance to its body's attributes.
「Electricity Resistance」 and 「Plasma Resistance」judging from the names alone they must be some kind of electric attribute Resistances.
Plasma is a bit confusing though. Isn't plasma a part of electricity?
Could these have been why I felt sick?
Was that what that heavy feeling was?
Regardless, I should be thankful, who knows how these resistances may help in the future.
Mr.Green Dragon, I'm sorry and thank you.
I hope whatever god this world may or may not have, has mercy on you.

Huh?
Wait wait wait.
What?
I just gave thanks to whatever random god and I get a Blessing from it?
Why?
What for?
No, screw the gift horse.
For what reason would you give me all this stuff?
I was just born not too long ago.
...
...
Of course I get no reply.
God must be playing a trick on me.
That's fine.
This 「Wind Blessing」gave me some good skills and also introduced me to something I never thought about until now.
Magic.
Getting a magic skill means I can use magic right?
Some dragons use magic in fiction.
Actually, most fiction with dragons has magic already in them.
This is great.
Wind magic sounds pretty promising as well.
Well here's hoping for the best.
Wind Magic!
...
...
...
Um..
Nothing happened
And here I was super excited thinking I could run straight into wind magic that I unconsciously struck a pose as well.
Did anyone see that?
Well, of course my siblings saw that.
Eh? Mom did too?
Is she laughing?
Just set me on fire already and get this embarrassing moment of my life over and done with.
