I don't know… should I be happy that I finally got my human form, or sad that everyone will see me as...
Controlling the tears threatening to spill, I looked at my reflection in the water again. Fair skin. Long, silvery-white hair. Two curved red horns jutting from my head. A few tiny crimson scales glimmering faintly on my forehead.
There's no doubt about it. This is my humanoid form, no, my hybrid form. Some of my dragon traits still remain, like the horns and scales, but far less compared to my partial form, where I'm basically a dragon standing on two legs.
Who would've thought I'd suddenly start evolving? What insane luck. My magicule reserves have shot up, and even the quality of my existing skills has improved. Then there are all the new ones, like Dragon Body. It's actually a pretty amazing skill, letting me shift between four forms: my original form, a partial form, this hybrid form, and a pure human form with no visible draconic traits.
I've decided to stick with the hybrid one for now. It feels more honest, I guess. I'm not human anymore, and pretending otherwise won't change that. Sooner or later, the world will realise it too. Humans are bound to hunt me down eventually.
But that's a problem for future me.
Right now, I'm facing something far more immediate and far more personal.
My gaze dropped to my reflection again. Specifically, to the two large, round mounds resting on my chest.
There's… no mistaking it.

"Ugh… you've got to be kidding me…" I groaned, pressing a hand against my face.
Sniff sniff
How? How did I not notice this for an entire month!?
Literally unbelievable. In all that panic, excitement, and adjustment to this new world, I somehow forgot to check if my manhood was still there.
And for the whole "bathroom situation," I just… went with the flow. Literally. I thought it was just how this new body worked!
"Ughhh… baka…" I muttered, dragging a hand down my face. "I'm so stupid…"
"Screech! Screech!"
"Oi! Shut up!" I snapped, glaring at the eagle monster perched nearby, my so-called first follower.
He tilted his head in confusion, his sharp eyes flicking between me and the reflection in the water. Even if he couldn't understand words, I could tell he recognised me. Maybe it's my aura. Or maybe he just saw me transform.
Either way, that dumb bird probably knows I'm still the same person… just with a few more curves than before.
Sigh.
Alright, focus. Think positive. There's no point sulking over… that. Time to look at the bright side, like my new Unique Skill.
Maharishi.
Pfft, haha! Hahahahahaha! I actually got one! Looks like the Voice of the World really did hear my wish!
It's basically the same as Great Sage.
Basically it's same as great sage giving me enhanced memory and comprehension or easily process large amounts of information.
Even the subskills are similar.
Thought Acceleration greatly increases the speed of my thought process.
Analytical Appraisal helps to analyse and appraise a target.
Parallel Calculation allows me to carry out multiple thought processes simultaneously.
Chant Annulment eliminates the need for chanting when using magic after a spell is analysed or successfully cast. The spell is stored in my mind and available to be instantly cast just by thinking about its activation.
All of Creation allows me to gain information about any non-concealed phenomena, as long as it is perceivable to me and I have a basic understanding of it.
Meaning, as long as I have some knowledge beforehand, I can fully or partially understand the process or function of something. It's extremely useful with Analytical Appraisal, since it helps me appraise any phenomena with greater precision.
Maharishi… hmm, if I'm not wrong, that's what sages are called in Hindu mythology.
I'll have to get used to my new skills soon, and this new form too.
Sigh.
I can't really use my original form anymore. It's way too attention-seeking.
Nearly a hundred metres in length, yeah, that's a bit too much to move around freely. Since I plan to head out soon, wherever "out" even is, I need to keep a low profile. Otherwise, some would-be "heroes" might come charging in, screaming about eradicating the evil dragon.

Hmm… even though the Assimilation has reached one-fifth, I don't feel particularly strong. It's not like nothing has changed, no, I can tell I know how to use aura now, and my body moves far more efficiently like ready to fight any second. But still, there's no OP feeling.
Honestly, I was expecting something closer to planetary level power, at least with him. Guess that was wishful thinking.
I should've remembered this isn't some low-tier world. This is a Cardinal World, one capable of surviving the clashes of True Dragons, beings who can erase small worlds with a single breath.
In a place like this, someone who could destroy an entire continent in another world might not even have the strength to sink an island.
Template is transforming me, not transforming with me.
Transforming...
I still can't get over it.
Boobs... I have boobs now.
If I were some canon character like Hinata it would even have made sense, I mean she is hot and has OP skills. Urgh... what the hell am I thinking.
Huff huff.
Taking deep breaths, I tried to calm down and think of my next steps.
First, let's start the training.
"Screech! Screech!"
Yes, yes, I get it, we need to hunt first...
