Canna's heart raced as he skimmed through the screen. His stats had skyrocketed, far surpassing what they had been before. Every attribute seemed to pulse with raw power, a testament to the drastic changes his body and soul had undergone. The realization that he had not one, but two new titles, each with profound effects, made his mind reel.

Title: Harbinger

Title Effect: Bringer of Chaos

- Empowered Conflict: Increases all stats by 50% when facing multiple enemies, turning you into a beacon of relentless power amidst chaos.

- Devastation's Embrace: Amplifies the destructive force of your area-of-effect abilities by 90%, making them catastrophically lethal in crowded battles.

-Reaper's Rejuvenation: Every fallen foe grants an 80% chance to restore 5% of your stamina and mana, fueling your rampage and ensuring you remain an unstoppable force of chaos and destruction.

Title: Stormbringer

Title Effect: Summon a Storm in an Enraged State

- Raging Tempest: Increases recovery rate by 50% while enveloped in the storm, allowing you to heal rapidly amidst the chaos.

- Thunderous Wrath: Boosts the damage of all thunder and lightning skills by 60%, unleashing devastating elemental fury upon your enemies within the storm.

-Tempest's Frenzy: Halves all skill cooldowns while within the storm, enabling relentless and rapid assaults that overwhelm and obliterate foes in a torrent of power.

The implications of these titles were staggering. Canna felt a surge of adrenaline as he imagined the chaos he could unleash on his enemies. The power to turn the tide of battle with a single, enraged scream was a heady thought, and the potential to recover stamina and mana during a fight made him nearly unstoppable.

As he continued to review his new skills, Canna's shock deepened. Each skill was more potent than the last, and they seemed to intertwine with his newfound attributes and titles, creating a synergy that promised overwhelming force.

Passive Skills:

[Loved by Beasts]: There's a 50% chance that low-ranking beasts will offer to help you. There's a 20% chance that medium-ranking beasts will leave you alone. There's a 5% chance that higher-ranking beasts won't outright kill you.

[Enhance Learning]: Grants a 500% permanent increase in information processing and absorption. Allows the user to learn more quickly and efficiently.

[Dragon's Aura]: You and nearby allies gain a 50% increase in physical and elemental damage.

[Absolute Defense]: High probability of being completely immune to attacks from targets with lower status, and damage resistance will temporarily increase if the immunity fails.

[Dragon Fear]: High probability that targets with lower status will lose the will to resist. Targets that lose their will to resist will have their defense and magic resistance significantly reduced.

[Dragon Rage]: In an enraged state, all attacks (including skills) of the user will stack two times. The same effect can be stacked. Duration: 30 seconds.

[Dragon's Resilience]: Increased defense against mind attacks; spells targeting the mind cast by lower-ranked individuals will have little to no effect.

[Draconic Vitality]: Grants a significant boost in vitality and regenerative abilities. His natural healing rate is increased by 100%, allowing him to recover from injuries more quickly than normal. Additionally, he gains increased resistance to diseases and poisons, making him resilient in adverse conditions.

[Elemental Affinity: Fire & Lightning]: As a half-dragon, you possess an innate affinity for both fire and lightning elements. This skill enhances effectiveness when using fire and lightning-based spells or abilities, granting a 30% increase in damage and a 20% reduction in mana cost for these types of attacks.

Additionally, gains a passive resistance to fire and lightning damage, reducing their impact by 30%.

[Draconic Presence]: Your dragon heritage imbues you with an intimidating aura that naturally commands respect and fear. This skill passively increases your influence and charisma, causing enemies to hesitate before attacking and making it easier for you to persuade or intimidate others.

Additionally, allies within a certain radius gain a morale boost, enhancing their combat performance and resistance to fear effects.

[Dragon's Endurance]: As a half-dragon, you possess exceptional endurance. You can sustain high levels of physical exertion for extended periods without tiring, and your body is more resistant to fatigue and exhaustion. This skill reduces your stamina consumption by 50% and increases your resistance to environmental effects, such as extreme heat or cold.

Active Skills:

[Weapon Mastery], [Combat Mastery], [Create Water], [Create Wind], [Create Fire], [Water Manipulation], [Wind Manipulation], [Lightning Manipulation], [Fire Manipulation], [Oath of Thunder], [Indomitable], [Fire Breath], [Lightning Breath], [Create Storm], [Draconic Roar], [Winged Ascent]

The skills were not just a list of abilities; they represented a culmination of Canna's growth and the dragon's essence that now flowed through him. He realized that focusing on one skill, like [Lightning Manipulation], revealed an array of sub-skills, some familiar, some entirely new. The possibilities were endless, and the potential for further growth seemed limitless.

"It is only natural for you to get all that; that is my blood, after all," a voice resonated through the dungeon, breaking Canna's concentration. He looked up, meeting the gaze of Tonitrum, the ancient dragon whose blood had started his transformation.

The reality of Tonitrum's immense power hit Canna like a tidal wave. Even with his enhanced abilities and new skills, he had been rendered unconscious by mere killing intent. The dragon was truly a force of nature, a being whose power dwarfed even the most powerful beings Canna had ever encountered.

______________

After a few hours of studying his new skills, Canna made a startling realization. With his current abilities, he would be a formidable force in battle, especially against multiple opponents. His passive skills, such as [Dragon's Aura], not only enhanced his own physical and elemental damage but also boosted the morale and strength of his allies.

The aura would make his allies more resilient and formidable, raising their combat efficiency and courage. His presence on the battlefield could turn the tide in his favor, making him a natural leader and a beacon of power to rally around.

Canna sighed, closing his eyes to steady himself. The sheer volume and potency of the abilities listed on his status screen were overwhelming, even for him. As he pondered the implications of his new title, "Harbinger," he felt a pang of irony. This title, with its promise of chaos and destruction, seemed at odds with his true mission in life.

Canna had always dreamed of building a sanctuary, a place of peace and protection, a haven where life could flourish without fear.

Yet now, with powers that leaned towards devastation, he wondered if fate was mocking him. The "Harbinger" title, which amplified his strength against multiple foes and made him a bringer of chaos, seemed to pull him towards a path of conflict rather than preservation. This irony gnawed at him, making him question how he could reconcile his new abilities with his long-held ideals.

Would he be able to use his powers to protect and preserve, or would they inevitably draw him into a cycle of destruction and chaos? This inner conflict weighed heavily on his mind, foreshadowing the complex journey ahead.
