Crimson Monarch by RedPhineox
Hello guys I just wanted to clarify that issei has the title ultimate pervert cause I missed it in last chapter.

'Its been weeks after issei went to the infected dungeon'. Hey Ashborn can you say how my strength compared to other supernaturals.
Suddenly a hologram appeared in front of his eyes.

Ashborn: Level ?
I am that weak I think I should by new skills from the money I got from last dungeon to improve my arsenal right Ddraig.
[I would recommend fire skill to add in your arsenal]
I was just checking the shop for the skills a I found two good skills that I am going to buy.
/You have learned the skill Bloodlust\
-Decreases the foes stats by 50%
-Will not work against foes that are stronger than player.
/You Have Learned The Skill: Pyromaniac\
Active/Passive Skill
-You can now breathe fire for the cost of 40 MP per second
-You are immune to fire attacks
-You can now breathe in low oxygen level environments
{Nice skills that you bought there issei, I see that you are following the path of fire drake}
'After a long search in shop' Ashborn I don't see any skills related to shadows or not even close to that can you say it why.
{You see you are too weak to control my powers so the shop only allows you skills and weapons that are not related to shadows in this case my powers}
What that is bad if I only use skills that are related to Ddraig's.
[Hey what do you mean by that my skills are the best at that time]
I didn't mean to hurt you but after watching anime I wanted some skills that are related to shadows.
[If you need it that bad I know a dragon who used to have shadow skills now he is also a scared gear like me]
{Interesting a dragon who knew shadow magic}
Cool can I get him Ashborn then I can use his power to become stronger right.
[Yea I think so but I don't have his location and you need to assemble his 5 different scared gears to talk to him like us]
Huuh I need to do all that. Its like treasure hunt.
{Ddraig can you say the name of the dragon so that I can find it}
[You can do that just by having its name]
{Only beings who uses shadow magic or related to it}
[His name is Vritra The Black Dragon Emperor]
{…. Found him issei lets go take his strongest gear to conserve our time I will teleport you there}
This fast nice can't wait to have one more friend.
*2 minute later*
Where are we is this a desert. I can sense a large amount of aura from that pit. Is it because of my sense stat very high.
{Yes issei sensing danger and power of your opponent is what the sense stat does}
Ok I came here in search of power so I will definitely take it with me. The area is to deep if I walk and go I will reach there after 3 to 4hrs I should use my skills.
/skill sprint has been activated\
*10 minutes later*
So this purple gem is the thing that is radiating this massive energy. I wonder how I will get its power.
[Issei take it and put it near your chest area to gain his power and run after that]
Huh what do you mea-…. The cave is collapsing down.
{Don't worry I will teleport you back to our home in a flash}(At home)
Ddraig you said to put this gem near my chest area right. Ok I will do just that.
(Issei's Mindscape)
I wonder why is that area covered in black smoke.
Who dare awaken me from my slumber
Who are you… don't tell me you are Vritra The Black Dragon Emperor.
Yes I am Vritra and are you my host how weak are you. I can also sense Ddraig here. If you already had his power why did you awaken me human.
[If I were you I would control my mouth vritra cause he not only have me by his side but also Ashborn]
{Hello Vritra long time no see}
Wha-what are you do-doing hear and in a dr-dragon form asked vritra with a shaken voice
{Issei just told me to take a form of dragon so I just did that}
Who is human who peeked your interest I cannot sense any high magical power coming from him other than a low class devil. Is he hiding his true strength
[No he is as a high end low class devil, but he grows in power by how many people he kill]
Ah I see so you wish to possess my strength to increase yours
Yes you are right. I want to become strong to protect my loved ones
That is a very great decision young one I shall give you my 60% of my strength
Huh why 60%. I thought you would give me full power of your strength.
I wish I can but you see my strength is divided 10% in 4 other scared gear of mine. So I can only lend you my full strength that my this gear possess
Ok fine I will get boost in my strength right Ashborn.
{Yea you will get don't worry}
*Normal POV*
/You Have Learned The Skill: Dark Blade\
Dash forward and perform a powerful melee attack
-Melee damage will depend on the weapon and the Player's STR stat
-AGL increased by 25%
-Immune to all attacks and can even bypass them
-Duration: 5 minutes and has a cool down of 10
/You Have Learned The Skill: Shadow Clone\
Create a shadow duplicate of yourself
-The shadow will have the same stats as the Player
-Is weaponless unless you summon them with a weapon in your hand
Drawbacks;
-Will decrease your XP gain by 10% as long as they are summoned
-Will consume your mana to regenerate
{Issei you have been slaking for a while I think you should enter a dungeon}
Yay fine I will enter a dungeon just teleport me near it.
{Ok wait for few minutes}
*5 min later*
Hmmm it a freaking is this a dungeon filled with bugs ewwk.
Then finish it as quickly as possible but I don't understand what is this place
It's a long story well tell you sometime later.
[Issei just burn them into ashes}
/skill Pyromaniac has been activated\
Issei felt a fire in his stomach. With all his strength he opens his mouth and released a torrent of Flames that shot out across the field. He did a complete 360 releasing fire everywhere and once he was done the fire has already started to spread into an extreme forest fire. He could hear the screeches of bugs and other animals in pain. He saw dragonflies with burnt wings fall back to the ground to be consuming by the raging fire.
/You Have Leveled Up! x10\
/You Have Leveled Up! X20\
/You Have Leveled Up! X50\
Smoke started to fill the air making it hard to see. Screeches and pops from animals were being overshadowed by the crackle of the fire. To anyone else it would sound traumatizing but it had no effect on Issie. He didn't know if that worried him or not.
/You Have Leveled Up! x60\
/You Have Leveled Up! x50\
/You Have Leveled Up! x70\
It seemed like the world was on fire at that point. Occasionally Issie would shoot out more flames to insure the fire kept going. He was glad that he was now immune to heat or the rock he was sitting on would be cooking his ass. He was also relieved that his cloths also fell under the category of his body.
/You Have Leveled Up! x40\
/You Have Leveled Up! x30\
Issei noticed that over time he was leveling up in big proportions. In a distance he could make out that his fire was going beyond the boundaries, killing monsters beyond his range.
{It seems like you found a bug in the system. You can't go beyond the boundary but your attacks can. Your fire is spreading rapidly, tens of thousands of acres have burned in the last few minutes}
[At this rate you are going to burn the whole world in a couple of weeks]
/You Have Leveled Up x10!\
/You Have Leveled Up x10!\
/You Have Leveled Up x5!\
/You Have Leveled Up x5!\
/For Killing All The Enemies In The Dungeon, You Have 30 Spare Stat Points at your disposal\

Wow now my strength is equal to a high class devil nice exp I got after clearing this dungeon.
What is this, just by burning a forest you became as strong as a high class devil, this is unheard of
[He will soon be as strong as me so don't worry vritra]
{Issei I have made a surprise at your home you should go and check}
What is this is this my house, it has changed a lot I mean lot.
{haha I think you should get some rest as it is night time now}
*30 min later*
{Ddraig what do you think issei is going to reach his limit}
I think we should do dragonificaton so that his power get a boost as a high class
{If I do that and make issei a full dragon, The Monarch of Destruction will make issei one of his soldiers}
[Then how about make him a half dragon with your power]
That is a good idea, I would recommend making him different from other dragons as they are weak to dragon slaying weapons
{Nice idea both of you I would do it tomorrow itself}
*12 hours later*
{Issei I have a thing to tell you that we have decided to make you a half dragon for now}
Wow I get to become a dragon like you, vritra and Ddraig. That so cool why wait do it now itself.
{Ok just lie down on your bed and I will start the process now all you have to do is hold your arm containing my gear in the air}
Curious of the request but did as he was told. Entropy summoned himself, the gauntlet fitting snugly in his arm. The diamond started glowing purple and hummed causing Issei to steady himself to keep his arm in the air. A small purple orb formed from his hand and shot into the air creating a shock wave in its wake. "What did you do?" He got his answer because a few seconds later the ground started shaking.
/WARNING! A MASSIVE INFLUX OF RAW Shadow Monarch's energy HAS BEEN DETECTED!\
/WARNING! MULTIPLE METEOROLOGICAL EVENTS DETECTED!\
/SUPER VOLCANOS HAVE ERUPTED\
/SUPERCELLS HAVE FORMED\
/CATEGORY 5 HURRICANES DETECTED\
/F5 TORNADOS DETECTED\
/MULTIPLE ASTEROIDS DETECTED\
/10.0 EARTHQUAKES DETECTED\
/MEGA TSUNAMIS HAVE FORMED\
/I THINK IT IS TIME TO GTFO\
Issei stood there taking in all the information he just read. 'How...whatever I shot in the air was the size of a grapefruit. Are you seriously telling me that a planet over three times the size of earth is going to shit because of a grapefruit!?' The power of Ashborn has finally shown itself and it was terrifying. He swore he heard Ddraig and Vritra whimpering, a fucking dragon, a Heavenly Dragons at that, shitting himself by the power being displayed. He was pulled from his thoughts by a bright light that resembled the sun itself as it was slowly getting closer and closer and bigger and bigger by the second. Issei couldn't hold himself up anymore and crumpled to the ground staring at the asteroid that will hit him in any minute. Of course Ashborn would never let that happen so before the space rock hit, he felt himself teleporting.
He once again felt himself on his new couch. Sweat poured from his body and seeped into the couch. 'I haven't felt this way since a first met him and even then it wasn't like this. If he could effortlessly destroy a planet like that then I don't want to know what he could do if he was going all out.
{OK time to get back on track. Breaking your limit. I'll let Ddraig and Vritra take it from here}
[...]
{Ddraig, Vritra?}
[...]
{DDRAIG, VRITRA!}
[Wha-what please don't ki-kill us!]
{Can you stop talking like you seen the death himself and explain dragonificaton to Issei?}
[Oh yes...yes, forgive me. Dragonification is the process where the user is turned effectively into part or whole dragon. For your situation though we are aiming for a half dragon form. It is only accessible if you have dragon powers or a strong enough dragon that is willing to do the process. When completed the user will acquire massive amounts of power and more importantly will allow you to break the ceiling of your power. However, the success rates are horrendously low at around 0.5%-5%. Usually after the failed attempt the subjects body would be destroyed or they'll lose their sanity, but with Ashborn here it is an guaranteed success you could almost call it cheating]
"Well that is a relief." Issei let out a breath of fresh air. "So when can we do it?"
[We can do it now as a matter of fact. Just go to sleep and we can begin the process]
{After this the supernatural world will take notice in this power from you so we would do our best to trying to avoid it. And you need to make a secret that you are the Red Dragon Emperor and you have 3 scared gear. Treat everyone hostile until further notice. If anyone ask about your power just say you have Vritra's strongest gear.}
[He is right, many of my past host had this problem. Carrying me will come with its own set of advantages and disadvantages that we need to prepare for. Plenty of host in the past had many allies, enemies, rivals, and mates that was drawn in by my power]
"Well looks like there is no other choice. I've already gotten comfortable so there is no going back. I'll see you guys in a couple hours. Good luck Ddraig."
[Trust me, I won't need it, but thanks anyway]
{Sweet dreams}
Issei felt sleep take him and slowly closed his eyes. After a while he was dozing off. If he was awake though, he would see his body flashing red and green.
Issei woke up with a groan and immediately felt an influx of power coursing through his body. He felt different, he felt new, and better than ever before.
[The process was an absolute success. Nothing went remotely wrong this has to be the easiest dragonificaton in history and will probably keep the title for millions of years to come. Congratulations Issei, you are now a half-human, half-dragon hybrid]
He felt slightly nauseous, "Ugh hold on give me a moment." Looking outside he saw the orange sky signifying that it was going to get dark soon. He was taken back by how the world looked now, everything was sharper, and he heard and smell things at distances that he couldn't of imagined even leveling up his SEN stat didn't give results like this. The system appeared with a new message.
