Belersion was flying at a high speed with me on Her back. The air was fresh and clean, and the sky was clear and bright.
We eventually reached The massive Cave we were once in the previous day. Belersion landed softly onto the ground, her wings gently folded, her long tail sweeping across the rocky floor.
The cavern was massive, easily ten times larger than the previous day, but instead of feeling confined and cramped, it was vast and spacious.
I quickly jumped off her back and took a moment to stretch. I was sore from sitting in the same position for so long, and my legs were starting to cramp.
Before I could do anything else Belersion suddenly spoke.
"Why Aren't you using a pathway for your mana?"
"Hmm? Pathway?"
" Don't tell me you don't know." Belersion said with a frown on her face
A mana pathway is a path for the magical energy or Eternano to flow into your body evenly and not into random directions.
There are pathways in the arms, legs, chest, stomach, head. And Container.
The pathways are very similar to a river system, with several paths leading to a main pathway, which is the one you are supposed to focus on.
If you focus too much energy on a specific path, you will start to lose control and will eventually lose your connection to that pathway.
What a pathway dose is instead of just randomly using your magic you are able to use it in specific parts of the body and make certain Effects such as hardening your skin or sharpening your claws. Well also making magic more efficient to use. Well also effectively sending Eternano, or magic power in the atmosphere to the container instead of just letting it flow freely threw the body.
You don't need a mana Pathway but Dragons started to naturally make one since 200 years ago, as a pathway in their body made controlling their magic much easier. As the pathway would guide the Eternano To the Container. The Clearer and Stronger the Pathway that was made in your body, will produce random effects with your magic
Humans are known not to have a Pathway in their body they are known to only have a Container but how they get mana is by breathing the surround Eternano in the atmosphere well having it go into the Container.
Humans are able to use Magic through the use of incantations and their imagination.
Magic is the process of taking mana and converting it into another form. This form can be anything, and the result will vary depending on the user.
Some magic requires chants, while others are used with only a thought. Some require complex rituals, while others can be performed instantly.
There is a lot of magics of all differnt kinds and shapes, and there is no right or wrong way to use it.
As long as you understand the basic principles of mana, you will be able to learn and master any form of magic.
This is because mana is a universal energy, and it can be used in a variety of ways.
Mana can be used for offense, defense, healing, and many other things.
Humans and Dragons are different. Dragons usually have one element that they are born with.
Humans on the other hand are able to learn multiple forms of magic but they would also have to start from ground zero with that specific magic such as Ice magic or Fire magic they would have to build up their skill with it.
A dragon would be able to instantly use their specific attribute. For example if a Dragon was born with the Sky attribute they would be able to cast spells using the Sky element but only that specific element.
This is because a Dragon's body is naturally attuned to the specific element it has and they are able to instinctively use it.
I'll help you Form one as You are only a new born Dragon
Belersion said this well injecting cold like mana into my body and making a container inside of me
"Aughhhhhh"
I felt a pain like no other. My veins and muscles felt like they were being ripped apart, my bones and flesh were breaking down. It was extremely Painful It felt like I got hit by a train.
But after some time the pain went away and replaced with a comfortable feeling. The moment the pain was gone, the next thing I did was open my eyes.
I could feel that my body was much lighter, and my senses were much sharper.

"We will have to Return to the Palace as I don't want a certain princess thinking I kidnapped her pet" Belersion said
"Hey why did we come here if we were going to leave so soon?"
"I forgot about the time that we needed to return as its almost been 2 days since we had been out here" Belersion said wellpicking me up and putting me onto her back once again.
We flew across the sky towards the palace, the sight of the sun slowly fading was a beautiful sight, and the moon and stars shining brightly in the night sky made the night seem magical.
The palace was now in view, and as we got closer, the sound of the guards shouting could be heard.
We flew into the direction of the palace landing on the large balcony out side of the palace, and as soon as we touched the ground, the door burst open, and two figures walked out, one of the figures was the Lina and the other was a maid who seemed to be in her late 20's
"You've Returned" Lina said
"Yes, and it appears that you were worried" Belersion said
"Of course I was worried, after all, my pet was with you."
"Now, now, Lina, Belersion would never do anything to harm our Princesses little pet"
"See, even the maid agrees."
"Well, if that is all, then we should be on our way."
"Alright"
With those words, Belersion and Lina left the room, while leaving me to eat the food the maid placed in front of me.
As the day grew old, the sky darkened, and the sun was setting. The last rays of light were shining through the window.
The palace was silent, and the only sound was the soft footsteps of the maids, as they went about their work.
I had finished eating, and the plate was empty. My stomach was full, and the warmth of the meal had spread throughout my body.
I could feel the fatigue from the day's activities catching up with me. I yawned and stretched. My muscles were sore and tired.
'Time to sleep.'
The bed was soft and comfortable. It was covered with a thick blanket and a pillow that was just the right size for my head.
I yawned again and closed my eyes.
I could hear the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves. The smell of dew was in the air, and the sun was shining brightly through the window.
———-
I was thinking of what to do as there is plenty of time to build my Terrioty but I would want to do it the earliest because it would be more convenient.
I would like to go into the capital to start learning their language, customs, and traditions.
But for that, I would need to go through a process, of gaining a human form or else the people would mostliky attack me on sight.
So I'll just have to build my own place. A place where I can live in peace a place where different Races don't condem me and see me only as a resource when I wander around
So for that I'll need to start building my territory, well thinking that I decided to go back into the dungeon and focus on building my Territory for today.
[Would You like to Enter Your Territory]
[Y/N]
When I clicked yes and I was transported into my territory this was the same place as before with a wooden tent-like storehouse and cave surrounding this place.
I decided to check out the place.
The storehouse is a simple structure, made from a combination of wood and stone.
There's a single door at the front, and a single window at the back. It's sturdy enough to withstand the elements, and it's well insulated, with a layer of fur and feathers between the walls and the outside world.
The cave, on the other hand, is more elaborate. It's a network of tunnels and chambers, leading deep underground. There are no lights, so I have to navigate by feel, relying on my memory of the layout and the echoes of my footsteps.
[Resources will be allocated as you are here for the second time all rescorses from the sotrage house will be transported into the Invetory]
[100,000 Pieces of Clay]
[30,000 pieces of stone bricks]
[20,000 pieces of Wood]
[100 pieces of raw Iron]
[50 pieces of Raw Gold]
[100 pieces copper]
[380 pieces cotton]
[1500 pieces of Iron ingots]
[2000 pieces of leather]
[100 pieces of cloth]
[400 pieces of fur]
[150 pieces of raw meat]
[50 pieces of herbs]
[20,000 Pieces of bricks]
These are the Resorces I got that was laying around in the store house after I killed the humans but the system has proscessded how much resources that I had and put them into the system
Let's start building this Cabinet as I don't need a massive house of the sort right now I will build more later when I have more resources but right now I need to just build a good enough place to lay in and build a surrounding wall so no monsters comes into the place
First the cabinet part.
The wooden planks were very easy to move around as the wood was light. The wooden planks were placed in rows, making sure that the bottom was level. The walls were then built on top of the base.
Each row of wooden planks was placed perpendicular to the previous row, and a small gap was left between each plank. The gap was filled with clay and sand to create a firm base. The process was repeated until the wall was complete.
The roof was created using a combination of wooden planks and animal skin. The skin was placed on top of the wooden planks and secured in place using rope. This created a waterproof layer that would keep the inside of the cabin dry.
Once the frame of the cabin was complete, the interior was finished. Walls and a floor were built using more wooden planks, and the space was divided into rooms using additional walls. Windows were created, and doors were installed.
The final step was to add a roof.
The roof was constructed using a combination of wooden planks and animal hide. The hides were soaked in water and then stretched over the wooden planks.
This created a waterproof layer that would keep the inside of the cabin dry.All in all, the construction took a few hours, but the result was a sturdy and functional structure.
The finished cabin was a single-story building made entirely of wood. The walls and ceiling were covered with a layer of clay, which acted as a kind of insulation.
There was no glass in the windows, but the openings were covered with a thick layer of animal skins. The skins were tightly stretched across the frames, and the edges were secured with wooden pegs.
The floor was made from a mixture of sand, clay, and straw, which was pressed into place and allowed to harden.
The door was also made of wood, and it had a simple latch. The hinges were made from leather straps.
The interior was a single room, which served as both the living area and the kitchen. There was a fireplace in the center, with a large cooking pot hanging above it.
The roof was made from overlapping layers of straw, and it was supported by a wooden frame.
"There was no sign of a table or chairs, but there was a pile of furs in one corner, and a stack of wooden crates next to it."
On the opposite wall, there was a shelf, which held a few simple tools, and a wooden chest.
The rest of the room was taken up by a bed, which was little more than a wooden frame with a layer of straw covering it.
I'll have to make glass later on but this should do for a living space for now I should now construct a wall of stone around this place as I don't want anyone to come into my territory.
I started to use the materials that I had in the system stones and clay I would use this to make a solid wall high enough so its a challenge to get around.
First, I gathered all the available rocks I had in my inventory and piled them up, forming a small mountain. Then, I started to mold them together.
As I worked, the image of a wall appeared in my mind. A wall made from solid rock, thick and strong. It would be perfect.
I began to work with the stone and clay like I imagined I put clay ontop of the stone brick and used it to merge with another stone brick.
After a few minutes, a wall had formed in front of me. It was thick, sturdy, and could withstand the attack of a beast.
The wall was high, and I could stand behind it without being seen. The only way to approach the wall was through the tunnel, and even if they did, they would have to fight me in close combat.
This wall was around 20 feet tall and 5i inches thick. I was surprised how I could make a wall like this with my bare Claws.
The wall was made from stone, but not just any stone, it was a special kind of rock that was extremely hard.
The wall was 5 inches thick and 15 feet wide, and it was strong enough to withstand A attack of a beast.
