Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 503: Another Row Of Pseudo-Unique Skills

-----

What's wrong with just wanting a bit of an easy mode life? I just wanted the people to produce resources for me while I slack off as the Emperor.

Just help them when they're in dire need, make them respect you, and then you can gain their royalty because nobody else would had helped them in this horrendous world.

Quite honestly, it is a very simplistic mindset, and its nothing hard to believe, but I guess that in this world where people have powers and can blow each other into bits to just steal a piece of magic bread or whatever, I guess they really don't care about this.

"I don't really see myself as a saint or something, I am mostly doing this for my own benefit and that of my family… After recovering enough, the people will be indebted with me, and they'll bring the resources to me happily. Also there's the dungeons too, I wanted to own them… And who's better for the job of extracting materials from them than the citizens themselves?" I asked.

"Y-You're very pragmatic in your thought process, I guess you're not really a conventional man… What you said really makes sense but at the same time I am quite shocked… because it also makes it seem as if you're just a very nice person… This is an odd thought process, it reminds me of my previous life's society, ah, it has been eons since then…" sighed Vasilisius.

"I see, so you're a reincarnated person like Yukihime?" I asked.

"Eh? Ah! I just spoke about it…" sighed Vasilisius.

"Yeah, you just said it… You're really an idiot." Said Yukihime.

"Well, its not like it matters, Drake is also a reincarnated person and even a Dragon." said Mikoto.

"Huh?! You're a dragon?!" asked Vasilisius.

"Agh, Mikoto, did you had to tell him? Seriously, what's wrong with you?" I asked.

"Sorry but I felt it was the right thing to do, after all he wasn't going to tell anyone anyway, it's not like they can see him or something, right? Don't worry about it. I believe it is better if he learns right away." Said Mikoto.

"I am going to slap you the next time you reveal my secrets without my permission, and I don't care if you're a woman or my own race." I said.

"EEEEP! S-Sorry, Drake, please forgive me!" Mikoto said, as she tried to kneel but her big and serpentine body made such a task rather hard.

"Ah, well, it kind of makes sense now, so you're a Unique Skill user? As you guessed, my family can get part of my Unique Skills through the special snake-like marking they inherit after birth!" said Vasilisius.

"Huh? I guess… that's it? So you just copied Yukihime?" I asked.

"Ugh?! I-It's not the same!" he cried.

"Yeah, you two are literally the same… you inherited your unique skill traits into bloodlines through special tattoos stuff… that's quite the coincidence… So what did you do for a living in your previous life?" I wondered.

"I was a salary man… I worked to death until the age of 57." Sighed Vasilisius.

"Ah, you're really a typical Isekai protagonist." I said.

"Typical Isekai protagonist?! What do you mean by that?" he asked angrily.

"Yeah, like, you've never read those where they always end up dying from overwork or whatever, and they end up becoming reincarnated with a lot of cheats because they had a lot of positive karma for working themselves to death?" I asked.

"Huh?! Ah… Eh, well… I guess? I never read those things…" said Vasilisius.

"He comes from the 80's, actually, and yeah he's not from Japan, either." Said Yukihime.

"What, the fucking 80's?! You're kidding me? We all come from over the 2020's…" I sighed.

"Yes, I appear to be older than all of you children…" sighed Vasilisius.

"Well you still got along enough to be with Yukihime from all things... And she's a crazy BL lover." I said.

"BL? What's that?" asked Vasilisius.

"You don't know?" I asked.

"Shut up, Drake! Don't tell him that! Are you insane or something?! He's an oldie, he doesn't like that sort of stuff! He'll get angry at me!" cried Yukihime.

"Who are you calling oldie?!" asked Vasilisius.

"Why do you care about what he thinks about you, aren't you done with your relationship? Also, tell me more about that, I want all the details." I said.

"I-I care about… B-Because of my honor as a woman!" she said.

I brough them all to Fuyu as I sat down over the dinning room and began eating some ice cream with them while listening to their love drama.

I asked the System about Vasilisius's Unique Skills in the meantime.

<Much like Yukihime he semes to have special Unique Skills… three of them were detected. The first one is [Venomous Tongue], it grants him the ability to consume venoms and then assimilate them into his body. Using this to accumulate poison and venom and secret it out of his body through saliva, blood, or pure venom through his nails. It seems to also grant him the ability to wield poison magic.>

Ooh, I see… What's the second one?

<The second one would be [Demon Snake], it allows him a variety of bonuses, seems something similar to a Class by itself, which specializes in stealth and assassination… It also allows him to tame snakes with ease.>

Huh, that's quite the one…

<And lastly, [Viper's Mark] allows him to develop a mark over his body that allows him to awaken a variety of abilities from within his very bloodline and potential. This can be passed down to inherit parts of his unique skills to descendants through bloodline.>

Oho, so that's it… Alright then. I understand how it is now…

I decided to devour the Mana Core right away, swallowing it and acquiring a bit of power, not enough to increase my cultivation, but I did got more Stats and… new skills.
