Getting Lucky at Home!

"Cut, leap."

Watching the scene in the game where he was being pulled to the camp by a cat cart, Luo Yun dejectedly put down the controller and stared at the screen in silence for a long time.

It was as if his brain had suddenly short-circuited. After a while, his palm slammed down on the table. Amidst the sound of HP-1 colliding with the tabletop, he roared, appearing like a shrimp whose temperature had turned red from a distance.

"No! It missed again?!"

No, he needed to calm down!

Luo Yun took a deep breath and twisted his stiff neck. Just as he was about to get up to find his water cup.

The next second, a massive shadow enveloped him. Amidst the deafening sound of the window and wall being broken, he had only one thought.

"So, I can get lucky at home too?"

In a hidden tree hollow somewhere in the Ancient Forest of the New World, a patch of luminous moss emitted a faint glow.

Around the luminous moss, several Forest Geckos lay quietly on the damp, moss-covered tree wall, waiting for insects to be attracted by the faint light. Their eyeballs swiveled slightly, like a group of seasoned hunters.

Little did they know, at this very moment, danger was gradually approaching them.

Under the dark shadow, a figure was tiptoeing closer. Upon reaching a suitable position, he slightly bent his powerful legs to gather strength, retracted his wings, and adjusted his balance.

Accompanied by the sound of claws scraping against the ground, the dark shadow suddenly charged out. It opened its monstrous maw and, before the Forest Geckos could react, bit down firmly on its target. It then shook its head violently until the prey in its mouth was completely still before stopping.

After completing this, the dark shadow impatiently stepped on the lower half of the gecko with its foot and began to tear into it greedily under the luminous moss.

In the dim light and shadow, the dark shadow's form gradually revealed itself.

It was actually a young Male Fire Dragon!

The spikes on its red carapace had only just begun to protrude. Its large head was still disproportionate to its body. Not to mention, its proud wings, which Fire Dragons were famous for, were now just like a pair of featherless chicken wings stuck to its sides, completely unable to support flight.

By all appearances, this should have been a hatchling that couldn't leave its nest and could only be fed by its parents.

However, this hatchling, which should have been waiting in its nest to be fed, had just completed a hunt on its own, even if the prey was just a harmless Forest Gecko.

Having finished its 'hunt' again and swallowed the food, it licked its lips, tasting the fishy and sweet blood. It looked towards the luminous moss again, confirming that the Forest Geckos showed no signs of regrouping, and then turned its head and walked back into the shadows with resignation.

The tree hollow was not small, but that was only relative to Luo Yun, who was still a hatchling.

He staggered to another damp spot, bit off half of a poisonous mushroom he had saved, swallowed it whole, and then poked his head out to gobble down a passing bitter worm before returning to lie down beside the dark stream within the tree hollow.

He had already transmigrated for several days, but he still couldn't figure out why, as a Male Fire Dragon, his birthplace wasn't a Fire Dragon's nest or a bird's food stash, but rather this tree hollow that perfectly fit the description of a 'newbie safe house'.

There was a water source, a certain amount of easily obtainable food that was just enough to keep him, a hatchling that had just hatched from an egg, from starving. Coupled with the narrow, hidden entrance covered by hanging vines and grass, it was at least inaccessible to large creatures that were over ten meters long.

With a safe house like this and being the only dragon, it was hard not to suspect that this was some kind of 'destiny's arrangement'.

However, thinking about these things now was useless. With the explosive growth in his size over the past few days since hatching, the food in the tree hollow was no longer enough to meet his daily needs.

Just like now, a Forest Gecko and a large mushroom could only barely alleviate his terrifying hunger. This was enough to fill him up when he had just hatched from the egg.

So, was his beginner's guidance phase over?

He irritably smacked the ground with his tail, which had just grown spikes, to relieve his mood, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Gradually, a peculiar warm current began to emerge from the ground and was slowly absorbed by Luo Yun. This warm current could slowly and comprehensively enhance his physique. In Luo Yun's opinion, this warm current might be the peculiar life energy of this world.

It was precisely because of this almost magical energy that the vibrant and colorful ecological environment of this world had been created.

However, Luo Yun himself wasn't quite sure if his situation was a special case. Like the ancient dragons in legends, he could sense and actively absorb the life energy that flowed with the earth's veins.

And in Luo Yun's blind spot, specks of silver particles emitting an ice-blue glow appeared out of thin air. They were then absorbed into his body along with the life energy, and he had no awareness of any of this.

Time ticked by, and when Luo Yun felt he had reached a certain limit, he opened his eyes again.

"Sigh, I didn't expect that even after no longer being human, my body still has limits. Did I just give up being human for nothing?"

Luo Yun muttered to himself. With a thought, a simple panel, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Luo Yun

Race: Wyvern Species - Fire Dragon

Trait: Random Draw in Progress (99%)]

The panel was very basic, but as someone who had spent a lot of time on certain websites, Luo Yun knew that this was one of the foundations for his survival in this world.

As for the rest, it was naturally his body as a Fire Dragon, a creature at the top of the ecological pyramid, known as the 'King of the Skies'.

Even though the Fire Dragon clan often became stepping stones for various monsters in his previous life's game, their status continuously declining. But in this real world, Fire Dragons were undoubtedly powerful creatures at the upper echelon of the world's ecological pyramid, the top predators of this world!

"Almost there, almost there, just a little longer..."

Luo Yun suppressed his excited heart, closed the panel, and walked towards the luminous moss.

The food in the tree hollow was about to become insufficient for his daily needs, so leaving the tree hollow was inevitable.

And the skills and traits he would draw next would give him a greater chance of success.

After devouring another Forest Gecko, the trait section on the panel finally reached 100%. After a dazzling array of garbled text, the trait extraction was complete.

[Trait: Acceleration (Speed increases with combat time)]

"???"

Is this trait the one I was thinking of?

Why does the description feel like something from a famous game in my previous life? It's just that instead of every turn, it's based on combat time, and there's a second new trait draw, so is it a compound trait? Could there be a third, a fourth?

Luo Yun was shocked by his own speculation. But if it was as he thought, then his future wouldn't just be about surviving well. Perhaps he could touch upon a certain level, a level that was called 'Taboo', a level that transcended this world's ecological hierarchy!
