I Reincarnated As A Dragon With A Devourer System

Black blood began to spread slowly among the cherry blossoms.

The monster writhed in every direction, trying to shake off the little dragon, which seemed like a claw slowly draining its strength.

The four pupils, filled with fury, remained wide open, but the wild gleam that had lit them up during the fight was gradually fading.

Noir remained clinging to his neck, his fangs sunk deep into the flesh. He felt his body growing stronger and information flooding into his mind at a rapid pace.

His bite grew much stronger, and the sound of bones snapping reached his ears.

...He waited.

Its movements grew slower and slower until it fell into a stream, its black blood staining the water.

Only when he could no longer sense any movement through his Draconic Senses did Noir finally step back slowly.

The little dragon collapsed onto the grass, breathing heavily. His whole body ached, and several of his scales were cracked; his side still burned where the tail had struck him.

But his mana was fully restored, and his reserves had increased even further.

For a few seconds, he stood there, breathing, as the wind swept the pink petals across the battlefield.

A few meters away, Uki managed to get to his feet, staggering.

The wolf limped over to Noir. His white fur was covered in blood and dirt. Even so, when he reached his side, he wagged his tail slowly.

Noir smiled.

’Good job.’

The pup let out a small, proud bark before collapsing onto the grass, completely exhausted.

Even the golden sphere descended slowly and circled them both once.

’You don’t have to thank us; I know I’m amazing—it’s just that Uki is, too, but you know how he is: a little silly.’

Uki bared his fangs; he clearly wasn’t happy with what the little black dragon had said. He was a proud wolf.

The golden sphere revealed some details, as if it were scolding Noir for having angered the white wolf.

The little dragon rolled his eyes at how cheeky his two companions were.

’Thank goodness I’m a responsible adult; I wouldn’t get into an argument with these kids.’

Like the proud dragon he was, he turned around and looked at the corpse of the monster he had just defeated.

He slowly wagged his tail with excitement and anticipation; the time had come to devour the monster’s body.

’Please, give me some of that regenerative power; that’s all I ask.’

After pleading with the gods, the system itself... or anything else that might perform miracles, he took a deep breath and began.

[The Unique Skill: Devourer has been activated.]

Noir set out to devour the body.

***

After devouring the monster, Noir let out a sigh of satisfaction; his stomach felt full.

But this time, the status window that usually appears whenever he devours a monster didn’t pop up.

The warmth coursed through every bone, every muscle, every scale.

Noir clenched his teeth. He felt his entire body rebuilding itself from the inside out.

His wounds began to heal; the cracks in his scales disappeared; his muscles contracted, then expanded again; and his wings even seemed to grow slightly larger.

He couldn’t help but let out a little groan.

’This... hurts.’

For a moment... everything fell completely silent.

Then... the notifications began to pop up one after another.

[Compatible biological material successfully devoured.]

[Analyzing abilities...]

[Analysis complete.]

[Skill acquired.]

[Feather Blades.]

[Feather Blades: Condenses mana into the feathers covering the wings, greatly increasing their hardness and sharpness. The reinforced feathers can be launched as cutting projectiles or used to strengthen wing strikes.]

Noir slowly opened his eyes.

’...The wings?’

He moved one of them slightly. Several scales took the form of black feathers and gave off a faint glow before returning to their normal appearance.

A smile slowly spread across his face, along with a look of confusion. Why had his scales taken on the shape of feathers? Was that even possible?

Noir decided not to dwell on it.

’Well, this... will be very useful.’

But the notifications weren’t over yet. A new window popped up in front of him, much larger than the previous ones.

[You have devoured sufficient resources; your racial rank has increased.]

[Baby True Dragon → Child True Dragon.]

The little dragon blinked.

’What?’

Before he could keep reading... A much more intense pain shot through his entire body.

’GHH...!’

His front legs sank into the ground as his wings unfolded on their own. A faint glow ran across his black scales, spreading as if an invisible current were flowing beneath them.

Then, the sound of bones snapping filled the air.

CRACK... CRACK... CRACK...

Noir felt every part of his body being forced to change. His legs grew longer and stronger; his neck stretched several centimeters, and his wings grew until they reached a much greater wingspan.

His tail became thicker and heavier, radiating a strength he hadn’t possessed before, while his small claws curved and sharpened until they looked like real blades.

Even the inside of his throat began to change. The muscles surrounding his larynx tensed and grew stronger.

His vocal cords became more resilient, as if they were finally being prepared to produce sound.

The process lasted only a few seconds, but to Noir it seemed like an eternity.

Every crack of his bones and every fiber that tore before healing sent pain coursing through his entire body.

When it was over...

Noir lay there, gasping for breath. He took a deep breath before looking down at his own legs.

"..."

They were clearly bigger... much bigger.

Uki also lifted his head and watched Noir for a few seconds. Then... he wagged his tail again and let out a bark of approval.

The golden sphere descended in front of the young black dragon and began to spin slowly around him, examining him from every angle.

Noir looked down at his reflection in the water of a small nearby stream.

The dragon staring back at him was still him.

But he no longer looked like that tiny hatchling that had emerged from the cave months ago.

He had taken another step forward, and this time... he could feel it in every part of his body.

And a final status window appeared before Noir’s eyes.
