Leon shifted his gaze to the holographic status window hovering before him. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and curiosity as he examined the various attributes, skills, and statistics laid out before him.

He decided to start by delving into the skills listed on the screen. His fingers hesitated for a moment, then he selected the first skill: Orius. A rush of information flooded his mind as he tried to grasp the essence of this mystical skill.

Orius (Level 1): Orius is a mystical skill that endows the user with an extraordinary understanding of the world, providing a comprehensive range of capabilities. At its initial level, it has limited usage and demands 20 MP for activation. However, as the skill level advances, the MP cost diminishes, rendering it even more potent.

Enhanced Vision: At Level 1, Orius enhances the user's vision significantly. This heightened perception allows them to see with exceptional clarity and over extended distances, expanding up to 5 meters. Furthermore, it grants the ability to see in darkness and through barriers. As the skill progresses, the range of vision expands even further.

Perception of Hidden Energies: Orius also bestows the user with the remarkable capacity to detect subtle energies, such as mana and life force, within a range of 5 meters. This heightened sensitivity aids in recognizing magical traps and concealed entities. With each level attained, the perception of these energies becomes more refined, and the detection range increases.

Elemental Mastery: Another facet of Orius is the rudimentary control over elemental forces. Even at its base level, users can manipulate or influence one or more elements, albeit to a limited extent. As the skill advances, the user gains the ability to harness multiple elements simultaneously.

MP Cost: To activate the Orius skill at Level 1, 20 MP is required.

As Leon absorbed this information, he marveled at the possibilities. Enhanced vision, perception of hidden energies, and mastery over elements—it was as if he had been given the keys to unlocking the secrets of the world. He couldn't wait to see how this skill would evolve as he gained experience.

Next, he moved on to the skill Mana Clone, equally intrigued by its potential.

Mana Clone (Level 1): Mana Clone is a mystical skill that empowers the practitioner with the ability to conjure tangible duplicates of themselves. Each clone possesses its own consciousness, complete knowledge, skills, and memories of the original practitioner. They are not mere illusions but physical entities capable of interacting with the world. At Level 1, the user can create up to three clones, each requiring 40 MP for activation. The higher the skill level, the more clones can be created with reduced MP costs.

At Level 1, the Mana Clone skill equips the practitioner with the following capabilities:

Physical Duplication: Users can create physical duplicates of themselves, and these clones are substantial beings with their own bodies. They are fully capable of interacting with the physical world. The health points (HP) and stamina points (SP) of each clone mirror those of the user. However, if the user's level significantly surpasses the skill level, the clones' HP and SP will be limited in comparison. As the skill level increases, the clones' HP and SP approach the user's levels.

Consciousness and Knowledge: Each clone possesses its individual consciousness, along with the complete knowledge, skills, and memories of the original practitioner. This grants them the ability to act autonomously and make decisions based on the information available to the original. When a clone is deactivated or dies, all experiences and knowledge gained by the clone are transferred to the original practitioner. This includes new insights and any positive buffs and experiences. Currently, at Level 1, only 10% of the benefits are returned when a clone is deactivated, and 20% when a clone is killed or dies. As the skill level increases, the percentage of benefits returned also increases.

Limited Number of Clones: At Level 1, users can create up to three clones simultaneously. The maximum number of clones that can be created increases as the skill level advances.

Mana Cost: Creating each clone at Level 1 consumes 40 MP. Each clone possesses its own separate mana pool, independent of the user's mana. This allows each clone to cast spells and use abilities independently. Users must monitor the mana levels of each clone and may need to allocate additional mana for powerful actions or provide them with mana refill potions. As the skill level increases, the mana pool of the clones expands, making them more self-sufficient. Additionally, the MP cost for creating clones decreases with higher skill levels.

The idea of creating tangible duplicates with their own consciousness fascinated Leon. It was like having an army of versions of himself, each with unique experiences and capabilities. The cost in mana was steep at his current level, but he could envision how this skill might become a game-changer in battles or investigations.

Leon's excitement was palpable, but he couldn't help but wonder about his overall progression. What would happen to his attributes and statistics as he gained experience and levels? Unfortunately, it seemed he wouldn't find out until he actually leveled up. Patience had never been his strong suit, but he had a feeling that his journey was about to get even more intriguing.

Leon's gaze shifted from his recently examined skills to the remaining sections of his status screen. The attributes and statistics were like pieces of a puzzle he was eager to assemble.

Name: Leon Blackwood

Level: 1

Race: Human

Class: None

State: Unawakened

Title: Legacy's Ender

He couldn't help but chuckle at the "Unawakened" state. "It seemed like the system recognized my potential but acknowledged that I had yet to fully tap into it." And the title, "Legacy's Ender," left him pondering the significance of his actions back in the dragon's lair.

Leon's fingers hovered over his attributes, and he couldn't resist commenting on each one:

Strength: 5.00: "Well, I guess I'm not winning any weightlifting competitions just yet."

Agility: 5.00: "Average agility. Not bad."

Intelligence: 10.00: "Now, this is interesting. I wonder if my newfound intelligence had something to do with those skills."

Luck: 3.00: "Luck's never been on my side, it seems."

Constitution: 5.00: "Decent constitution. Maybe it's the reason I'm still here."

Unused Attribute Points: 0: "I'll need to figure out how to allocate these when the time comes."

Leon's focus shifted to the skills section again, specifically to the newly discovered skill, Draconix Heart. As he read the description, a sense of wonder and anticipation washed over him.

Draconix Heart (Level 1): The Draconix Heart represents a profound fusion of dragon and phoenix energies, endowing its bearer with a range of remarkable enhancements. At this initial level, these benefits are only the tip of the iceberg, with the promise of further growth as the user gains experience and skill mastery.

At Level 1, the Draconix Heart provides its possessor with the following enhancements and benefits:

Heightened Mana Reserves: Through this fusion, the user's mana reserves surge to 220/220 MP, a significant boost from the typical 120/120 MP. This augmentation translates to a considerable increase in magical power. The higher the skill level, the greater this enhancement becomes.

Enhanced Physical Prowess: The Draconix Heart amplifies physical abilities, elevating strength, agility, and constitution. The user's Strength, Agility, and Constitution attributes rise from their ordinary values of 2.00 to an impressive 5.00. This enhancement contributes to improved combat capabilities and athletic performance, with more significant upgrades as the skill advances.

Accelerated Healing: Possessing the Draconix Heart grants the user the ability to heal at an accelerated pace. This newfound capability enables swift recovery from injuries, proving invaluable in combat situations or when facing adversity. Healing efficiency continues to increase with skill progression.

Unparalleled Mana Manipulation: The fusion heightens the user's capacity to manipulate mana, providing heightened control over magical energies. This manifests as more potent spells and increased versatility in magic application. The skill's progression unlocks additional benefits in this regard.

Profound Synchronization: The user forms a profound bond with the Draconix Heart, enabling a more effective utilization of its unique powers. Enhanced synchronization may unlock even greater potential in the future, both physically and mentally. Currently, the heart synchronization level stands at 10%.

Balancing Act: Mastery of the Draconix Heart necessitates a harmonious blend of physical strength and wisdom. The user must not only cultivate physical prowess but also possess the wisdom to wield these newfound abilities responsibly. As strength and wisdom levels increase, so too will the benefits derived from the Draconix Heart.

It's crucial to remember that these Level 1 benefits are just the beginning. The Draconix Heart holds the promise of further growth and extraordinary capabilities as the user continues their journey. This skill offers a captivating fusion of magical augmentation and physical prowess, making it a coveted asset for its possessor.

Leon couldn't help but marvel at the prospect of harnessing such incredible powers. The notion of heightened mana reserves, accelerated healing, and unparalleled mana manipulation abilities filled him with excitement. He knew he had to work hard to unlock the full potential of this skill.

With a final glance at his status screen, he muttered to himself, "This is just the beginning. I have so much to learn and discover."

His family's laughter echoed from the living room, reminding him of the warmth of this unexpected reunion. Leon resolved to cherish this time with his family and explore the mysteries of his newfound abilities as he slowly drifted asleep.

As Leon closed his eyes, the holographic digits, skills, and attributes from the status window danced in his dreams, promising adventures beyond imagination in the waking world.

The sun's gentle rays slipped through the curtains, heralding the arrival of a new day. Leon stirred in his sleep, his dreams filled with fragments of his past and glimpses of the future. As the dreams slowly faded, he muttered to himself in the half-conscious state of someone still caught between realms.

Leon: (whispering) "Was it all a dream? The skills, the status... it felt too real."

His eyes fluttered open, and he found himself in the soft embrace of morning light. But something lingered in his mind, a nagging sensation that refused to dissipate. His own voice, as though a distant echo, reverberated within his thoughts.

Leon: (murmuring) "Status."

The holographic status window appeared before him, casting a faint glow in the dim room. It wasn't a dream; it was all too real. The attributes, the skills, and the potential he possessed were his to explore.

Leon: (whispering) "It's real... all of it."

He pushed himself up in bed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Thoughts whirled in his mind like leaves caught in a gentle breeze. But one thing was clear; he had a path to follow, a destiny to shape.

Leon: (determined) "Time to get up and face the day."
