The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 5: My Physique

Well, they are stupid to think that if they can stall my training, they can weaken me. Sure it will delay my progress but that would only be confined to the control of my strength, not my strength itself.

Every individual may need training or to increase their levels to improve their attributes but I don't. My Devourer Physique as it states can consume anything and give me something in return which includes attributes, skills, etc...

Though the information said skills, I didn't get any, probably I have to use the Devour Skill to get such things. I have searched for it but couldn't find anything. I never heard about this skill before, probably a secret skill or a unique skill that was hidden from others.

I too would hide such a skill, as it clearly represents a threat to others and could bring disaster to the holder if others came to know about its existence. It holds the same for the physique too. It's a good thing that I withheld the information about it.

If not the troubles I have to face more troubles from those idiots who are trying to undermine my father. Also, there are enemies of my family outside. They would never let me live if they found I had such a special physique.

Anyway, after last night's feast, my status changed.

My STR (Strength) which was 9 increased by 6 points and reached 15 points. My END (Endurance) too reached 15 points from the previous 10 points. My AGI (Agility) though increased by only 3 points, increasing from 9 to 12 points. In addition to them, my MP which was already at 200 increased to 270 points.

These increased after eating a ranked beast meat. I may have increased the consumed quantity by a little bit but it was not the first time that I ate a ranked beast meat, though it was only Rank-1 beast meat.

I can only say that the awakening unlocked or activated my physique yesterday. If that was not the case then my attributes would have been much higher than what I am seeing now.

I don't know about the INT (intelligence) attribute as no notification appeared. Maybe it was too high for it to increase this way or this beast doesn't help to increase INT. Also, since the beasts aren't some creatures that create items, I believe the reason why there was no increase in my DEX (Dexterity).

This attribute was also the weakest one I have. Though it wasn't the most useful for my physique, it's better to have a minimum number, but that seems can only be increased by training. It was something that I should think about later.

For now, I should increase other attributes, especially my INT, which is the most problematic one. The information that I got from the books and my family was that, though INT was hidden in the status, it would still increase and when it did there would be a notification.

This was the same as the notification that I got when my physique absorbed...no I should say when my physique devoured the meat and increased my attributes.

[+1 Strength]

[+1 Endurance]

[+1 Agility]

[+5 Magic Power]

These notifications appeared a few times before they stopped. When I saw such a boon appearing, consumed more meat but it stopped after a while.

I don't know the reason but it has something to do with my level or that I can only increase a finite number of attributes from eating certain beast meat. Whatever the reason might be, I can slowly experiment and find out. Only then can I map a perfect way to increase my status to maximum.

If I can make the best use of my physique, I am sure that I can't overtake everyone sooner or later.

Anyway, that was something for the future me to figure out, and I have a lot of time to figure out what exactly my physique can and can't do. For now, though, I should concentrate on the training that I need to take under the captain's supervision.

"Captain Domer, I understand. They'll train me when they are available. For now, let's do the training that you would make your men do", I said confidently.

When the captain heard my words, he smirked and said, "I hope the young master doesn't go back on his words".

Oh shit, I shouldn't have said that. He has a reputation among the trainees as a sadist.

I have a bad feeling about this.
