Chapter 2: Beasts of Awakenings
After admiring the reflection of himself in the river, he took his worn out clothes and wore it, then he went in a random direction to find a way out of this forest.
After walking for two days, he suddenly heard a roar 5km from him, he also heard the sound of a battle going on. He quickly sprinted in that direction. He then hid behind a tree to observe what was going on.
Right in front of Max, a lean young boy whose age would be the same as Max was fighting with a Tiger three times the size of a normal tiger.
He weild a longsword which was three feet long and two inches wide. He is very agile and hewas wearing a gear which seems to be made of bronze.
He kept dodging the claw strike of the tiger without forgetting to counter attack.
At some point, he slipped and his chest was clawed by the beast.. he screamed in pain and clutched his chest then hurriedly retreated.

Max was stupified after digesting all the information he received from the system. " Seems like this system has lots of uses, I will know more about it as time goes on " . Max thought .
The guy fighting with the Nian beast saw Max when he was trying to keep a distance from the beast. He quickly sprinted towards him and he called out to him " friend over there, I'm Alex quickly flee with me , that damn beast is too ferocious,it has already noticed you and it will try to hunt you too" hearing this, Max heart turned cold, he then looked towards the beast and he realized that the beast was also starring at him with it's bloodshot eyes. Max quickly dashed away with his full speed and Alex also followed with the beast chasing them from behind. The beast ran at it full speed and made a claw strike towards Max, Max quickly ducked to the floor the he rolled to the other side, not waiting for the tiger to open it's jaw to bite him. Seeing this Alex thought, " Damn those bastards for giving me wrong Intel after taking my gold coins, they told me that the beast is only at the initial 2star copper rank, those bastards want me dead. But we might have a chance at killing this thing together, this guy is strong". Alex then sprinted towards Max he then took out another Longsword that is red in color. It's Three and a half feet long and two and a half inch wide, he tossed it towards Max who was covered in mud after turning on the floor to dodge the bite " Hey friend, take this sword, let's work together to teach this damned tiger a lesson". He then threw the sword towards him. Then he Slashed at the tiger to take it's agro to distract it from Max.
Max responded kindly " thanks Alex " he then took the sword and shouted " by the way I'm Max" he then ran towards the Black thorned Tiger and jumped high in the air reaching 10ft he then thrust his sword towards the neck of the beast, due to the fact that the beast is entangled with Alex it was not able to react quickly and the sword went 5 inches in, the tiger roared in rage using beastly roar, the shockwave blasted Alex and Max 10 meter away from it . The Black thorned Tiger then shot a black thorn at Alex, it then used dash to appear in front of Max in a split second. It then used claw strike to claw at Max wanting to claw his heart out. Seeing this, max roared in rage,
" Dragon Beast Transformation"
Immediately after his upper body and parts of his face was covered in blood red dragon scales, His hand was also grew long Sharp claws and the sword he was hold began to transform. It grew longer becoming as tall as him and it also 15 inches wide. It was covered in Red scales and it's edges became sharper it also turned black.. Two horns the grew atop Max head. Make him look like a dragon monarch. All this happened in a split seconds. Max brought the transformed Great sword in his front to block the claw strike. The claw striked the sword and Max took one step back due to the force following that. A suddenly anger arose in Max mind. A sudden voice spoke in Max mind " A mere tiger dares to knock this emperor back. Show him the might of the chaos dragon". Following that strength, a pressure that could only belong to the ancient dragon excuded from him and his stat increase twofold.
Meanwhile, After the thorn was shot towards Alex, he was caught unawares and he used his sword to shift the trajectory of the thorn at the last moment. He managed to deflect the thorn but the force blast him away towards a tree and he crashed into it breaking three of his rib cage. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Max happened to look to his side at that time and seeing the state Alex as in he shook his head and shift his focus back to the black thorned tiger that had a hint of fear in it's eyes due to blood suppression. If not that max was not yet awakened, the tiger wouldn't have been able to move at all. Max then dashed towards the tiger leaving behind afterimages, he appeared in front of the tiger in the blink of an eye and before it could react, Max cleaved it's head cleanly with his blade killing it instantly.
A moment after, two balls of essence, one big and one Small flowed into Max and Alex respectively.
