54 CHAPTER - XLIX
The egg slowly began to break in Derek's hands until a big light completely enveloped the place where he was, this lasted a few seconds and everything went back to normal except that in Derek's hands there was a pink ball with orange and gray stripes besides having a tail.
Derek was surprised by the Digimon that came out of the egg, he recognized very well which Digimon it was except for the small stripes on its body and tail?
"Hello, little buddy" the little guy looked at him with his glowing red eyes for a second before smiling showing his sharp teeth, letting go of his hands, with his big ears he grabbed onto his neck starting to lick Derek's face.
Derek : "Haha, relax buddy I'm happy to finally meet you too believe me"
The little guy understood him and stopped, he placed himself on his shoulder getting closer to his face curling up there.
"Haa, looks like Lucy is going to have competition for a spot on my shoulder Isn't it? Little Koromon" said Derek stroking his head earning a cute "Koro" from his digimon, at the end out of curiosity I use to look at him.

This is the ability that all Digimon have, this process of evolution is more a sudden change, in which more than an evolution it is a process of metamorphosis (Because it absorbed its blood the evolutionary line is more linked to the Dragon).

Description: Koromon is a tiny Digimon that shed the fluff that covered its surface and whose body grew even larger. Although it has become able to move more actively, it still cannot fight effectively. It can produce elemental bubbles to defend itself and intimidate its enemies.
Derek : "Interesting my blood and mana have affected you so much to the point even I can't quite tell but if I wait for your evolutionary lines, maybe I'll see a ShineGreymon"
Derek : "Although Wargreymon is also considered a Dragon or rather a Dragonoid, you're going to make one of the toughest little ones" smiled Derek, as if he understood the Digimon raised his ears and flexed them like arms, wanting to show his dominance
"Haha, alright buddy wait for me here, I have to do my daily mission" he lowered him from his shoulder and put him on the ground.
Derek looked in his inventory he was about to pull out the metal block to do his routine, but realized that wouldn't do him any good right now so he went to the system store looking for something he could use for training and found it.
*Gravitational Bracelets and Anklets - Rare Class*.
Equipment specially designed for training, capable of increasing the gravity and atmospheric pressure experienced by the wearer by 2 to 5 times. Since they are made of fairly durable materials and absorb energy from the environment, they can be used to defend against weapons.
Abilities:
-Gravitational Augmentation: Medium
-Atmospheric Pressure Increase: Medium
-Hardness: Medium
"This is excellent, even though it cost me half my money" said Derek happily putting on the bracelets and anklets.
He put on the gravity and pressure twice instantly felt his body being pressured, it took a few minutes until he got used to this then he took out his metal block not without first increasing his weight to 60 ton, starting to run with the block strapped to his back, like this he continued with his exercises for over an hour, lying in a pool of sweat gasping for air, Koromon watched all this with curiosity.
"Easy buddy, I'm fine, it's just that I need to do this you must do this once in a while or I'll end up doing something I'll regret all my life" explained Derek.
"System use the golden box" he ordered already determined to use both the box and his ticket.
System: [ Roger, opening golden box, random reward. Congratulations you have won the Gigantisism skill.]
Instantly Derek's weak body on the ground grew four times its normal size almost destroying his clothes, Koromon was surprised and a little scared to see Derek's body change out of nowhere, for his part Derek was the most surprised to feel the new changes in his body thanks to the new ability
"Shit that's new, although it feels very strange to feel my body like this" before this he decided to check the new ability.

"For a random thing this will help me a lot when I enter the dungeon" he bragged looking at the black key he had earned from the daily mission.
System: [ Daily Mission Rewards, +15 status points, Status Recovery and Dungeon Key (For Job Change) ]
System: [ The same key will take you to the location of the Dungeon.]
Derek : "Ok I understand, now I have to prepare myself, as this dungeon to get a job will be very difficult, therefore I will need weapons"
Derek went to the weapon section in the system store, it took him 5 minutes until two weapons that caught his attention being of unique class, he spent the rest of the money he had on one of the spears and used his golden ticket on the other.
-Sky Piercer: Unique Class

-Effect 3: +50% of Strength.
This being the first weapon he bought, he took it in his hand, concentrated and imagined the shape he wanted the Spear to take, this being Nauntote, its tip was very sharp with a V shape with a red gem in the middle, the next spear was a black with silver being the tip and its edge what stood out the most.

Derek : "Haa, I would have wanted to buy the legendary class ones, but it's too much money they ask for one, even $5,000,0000 isn't enough."
System: [ Host earn more money, work or get quests.]
Derek could only shake his head, he had already regained his energy, he got up without forgetting Koromon whom he put on his shoulder, leaving the training room heading to his room
But before leaving he took out his phone from his inventory, Koromon seeing the phone, launched himself towards the phone turning into digital particles which entered Derek's iPhone, when he turned it on Koro appeared in miniature on the side of the icons on the screen.
"Well this will help quite a bit, for now stay there buddy Yeah, until I tell you to get out" the digimon nodded, Derek sighed in relief and resumed his way to the room he borrowed, besides having to explain to Lucy about Koromon, he didn't want them to attack each other because she thought it was a virus.
Time passed as did the days Derek spent training with the weapons he had purchased, his effort was worth the time as he gained the skill Spear Mastery.
-Spear Mastery (Passive): Lvl 1
Allows the user to manipulate spears freely.
-Effect 1: Increases 15% of the damage of attacks with spears.
-Effect 2: + 6% speed when attacking with Spears.
Sometimes he trained with Jennifer who was getting more and more used to fight with him, besides Derek had to control himself at every moment so he tried to finish his training with her as fast as he could.
Although at no time he used his Dragon powers in addition to his physical abilities except for Gigantism
He also trained with the boys, even once he did it with Johnny who felt depressed and surprised not to do anything with his powers but seeing how Derek devoured the flames he threw at him left him with his mouth open.
But the ones he had a harder time training with were Cassie and Kamala, being the first one the one he taught to do keys but that led them to have more physical contact.
With Kamala there were more fights but even so the 100% affection that Kamala had made Derek loosen up a little with her, even kissing her when she didn't expect it, although she wanted to resist at first then she accepted his kisses and caresses.
Nat had told Derek about the problems what his new physical changes would bring (Although he already knew).
She had been monitoring him whenever she could, she had also been communicating with the Chimera.
She had heard about the attacks they had made on some AIM bases and from what she was told they expected Tarleton to attack with everything the next time they faced each other, they all found that out thanks to Maria Hill's help.
Nat kept all this to herself, until she made the decision to leave a note in her room, where she explained that she was going to help in the confrontation against AIM.
Derek did not know how to take it when he read the note left by Nat, not only she left but to avoid him, but also Kamala, Cassie and Dante so they couldn't followed her, she convinced Theo and Cerise to go with her.
Derek : "System, tell me once I enter the Dungeon will there be a time difference with my world?"
System: [ Host the time of the Dungeon will be 10 times faster than your world.]
Derek : "Alright with this I'm all set to go."
Derek waited quietly, that day he just did his daily routine, make breakfast for everyone, train as much with Jen as she asked him to call him.
Then with Cassie who was already very good with the keys he had taught her based on Niko Style techniques which worked the best although he didn't deny that her liberal manner made Derek grit his teeth trying to keep control.
Then with Dante and Johnny but this led to finding out more about Dante's powers which were actually Geo-Ionikinesis.
Derek couldn't help but use observing on him to find out what it was and get an idea of how to help him.
Geo-Ionikinesis: Allows him to generate plasmoid flames from the air, not requiring the consumption of oxygen or combustible objects to sustain the flames, he can increase the temperature within his environment, allowing him to wrap his entire body in a molten/flaming rock form, shoot concentrated plasma blasts into his hands, withstanding extreme heat and flames without taking damage.
Derek explained how these powers work to Dante, Johnny upon hearing and seeing him use his powers decided to teach him some tricks on how to use his powers, and so the time passed.
When it was time to train with Kamala, Derek trained with her trying to teach her how to better use her powers like a certain anime character with the dream of becoming the King of the Pirates.
Although this led to more physical contact, she still with great shame accepted his caresses knowing what the new physical changes had brought to Derek, she was even prepared to accept it if he could not control himself at some point, he knew that she would do it so he tried to exhaust himself physically to the extreme.
Kamala : "Derek."
Derek : "Yes."
"What are you planning?" asked Kamala snuggling into his arms after she had trained.
Derek was silent for a moment debating whether or not to tell her about the dungeon but that would lead to him telling her about the system
Derek : "I plan on going to a place where I can become stronger in a short time"
"Then I'll go with you" she replied instantly.
"I..., it's not that I don't want you to come with me, it's just that I can't bring you, at the moment" Derek quickly replied as he saw the look she was giving him
Derek : "I know I may sound hypocritical and disbelieving but it's the truth, I'm just asking for your time and I'll be able to tell you some of the secrets that surround me"
Kamala : "Some?" she asked sarcastically.
"Come on Kamala a man like me will have a secret or two" I tried to joke.
"Alright, just be careful" she said or rather ordered him seriously
Derek just smiled at this, without realizing it the two passed the time chatting about one subject or another until the night came, where both Lucy and Koromon had interfered with the building cameras also preventing any alarms from going off.
Derek took advantage of this to leave the building unnoticed.
An hour later a figure could be seen wearing black clothes with protection in vital areas of the body, two spears on his back, a Kunai holder on his left leg, gloves made of metal and a shield attached to his left arm, looking at a large portal that only he could see.
So far.
