Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

The budding lily flower, with its elegant posture and lush green leaves, was pleasing to the eye, but could only be admired from afar and not played with frivolously.

When the night was deep and quiet, under the bright moonlight, the lily flower that quietly bloomed revealed its tender white petals. The flesh of the flower was sweet and delicious, and its faint fragrance was intoxicating.

After a night of stormy rain, although the raindrops had dampened the petals, they had also nourished the flower, making it more tender and full of vitality.

Like a lily that still bloomed in the rain.

This night might have great significance in the entire history of the elven race.

Because their great princess accomplished something that many ancestors before her could not do, as if telling all the elves that no matter how powerful the demon race was, there would always come a day when they could be ridden by the elves.

[Companion "Vielsia"'s favorability reached 100%]

[Home system updated. You have unlocked more companion race-specific buildings that can be placed: Elven Pool, Moon Altar, Hurricane Ancient Tree, Hunter's Hall... Chimera Perch]

[After evaluation, your companion has reached 100% favorability. Your "Atlas" has been updated. All neutral/friendly/monster unit information for the new race "Elf" has been fully unlocked]

When Reji woke up the next day and checked the updates to the home system, it was as expected. This also existed in the game and was considered a "milestone" commemoration, representing that the player had become one in flesh and soul with this race.

Instead, it was the "Atlas" that he had unexpectedly seized from Lordan that gave Reji some surprises with its special prompts.

When Reji opened the atlas, the elven race section, which was originally blank, now had a technology tree. Each branch of the tree diagram corresponded to an elven soldier type or monster.

[Lv1: Elven Archer (Level 10-20) - Requires Hunter's Hall building, Lv1 World Tree, Archery Specialization (Technology), Starlight*10]

[Lv2: Female Hunter (Level 25-27) - Requires Wisdom Ancient Tree building, Lv1 World Tree, Hunting Mastery (Technology), Starlight*15]

[Lv3: Elven Blood Mage (Level 30-35) - Requires Wisdom Ancient Tree building, Lv3 World Tree, Natural Magic Mastery (Technology), Starlight*25]

The original home system was only used to place companions and enhance their abilities, but now that it had combined with his atlas, it seemed to have produced some subtle chemical reactions.

Reji had a sudden idea. Now that he had these buildings that met the conditions for producing soldiers, and he had the atlas as a recipe, could he directly use the home system as a military factory?

Feeling a bit excited, Reji immediately began experimenting.

But...

Unfortunately.

When Reji tried to produce soldiers using the lowest level Lv1 soldier type "Elven Archer" as the target, going to the Hunter's Hall and relying on operating the atlas, the building did not respond to him.

Later, after thinking carefully...

So that is why it failed...

After all, this is the real world now, not a game. If I could really produce an elven archer so easily, wouldn't that be equivalent to me being able to create elves out of thin air?

Hmm!...

Wait.

I can't produce elves with independent intelligent consciousness out of thin air, but just like how the Sorcery Demon could summon skeleton dragons and liches before, can I perhaps do the same for units that belonged to the "monster" category in the game...

Reji immediately continued experimenting.

He flipped through the atlas, skipped past the elven soldier types, and arrived at the nature-related "monsters" associated with the elven race.

Reji selected an empty space in the Emerald Forest, used starlight to place the special building "Elven Pool", and then ordered a little elf to come and enter the pool water.

Then, in the elven pool water, under the effect of the atlas, a reaction actually occurred. The body of the little elf in the pool began to rapidly transform, changing from its original light orb into a "silkworm"-like appearance in the water.

After a few more seconds, there was a crack in the silkworm. As if reborn, a claw reached out from the crack and completely broke free of its restraints. When this new "little elf" fully revealed its appearance, it had a beautiful and dreamy body like a butterfly.

When Reji compared the monster image labeled "Elf Dragon" on the "Atlas" in his hand, the two couldn't be said to be exactly the same, but they were indistinguishable.

Success!

[Elf Dragon - A Lv5 monster with an average level fluctuating around 30-37. The key elements required were an Elven Pool, a little elf, and some starlight.]

Actually, quite a few elves were quietly watching Reji's movements.

After a few days of close contact with Reji, the Demon King, the elves' stereotypes of the Demon King being terrifying, brutal, and bloodthirsty had all disappeared. To them, Reji was more like a close elder.

This was certainly due to the subtle increase in favorability brought by the "Home System", but no less important were Reji's head pats that killed them time and time again, as well as the miracles he created that seemed incredible in the eyes of the elves.

Just like now.

At first, the elves didn't understand, but when the dreamy and beautiful Elf Dragon elegantly walked out of the pool water, the emotions of the elven people instantly turned into great shock.

"Is that... a dragon?"

"No, no, no, I clearly saw the Demon King let a little elf go in just now. How could it be..."

"Wait, do you remember the legend the elders mentioned? Little elves can also cultivate and transcend their limits in the spring water, leaping to become dragons!"

"I remember! In the story, it seemed to be a sign of good fortune. Whenever such an Elf Dragon appeared, it meant a hundred years of smooth sailing and stability for our race!"

"Could it be that even those legends are true, or can the Demon King even create the 'natural spirits' from the legends..."

"Quick! We must go and tell the Great Elder about such a big event!"

Although Elf Dragons had the word "dragon" in their name, they had nothing to do with real dragons.

From the surrounding elves' words, Reji could roughly understand that Elf Dragons were a bit like "koi fish" in human society to them.

Since there were "koi fish", there must also be heterodox fierce beasts.

The success of the Elf Dragon was just a beginning for Reji. Next, he instructed four or five little elves to enter another cave called the "Raptor's Nest".
