Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

​ Standing in front of the mirror, Zick looked at himself with an emotionless expression as always.

'Time sure flew by quickly.'

Zick had this thought as he looked at himself in the mirror during the early hours of one morning. He tidied his white shirt's collar and his black hair which gave out a mesmerising glow as he stared at his face.

Six months went by quickly with him training and experimenting with his new found strength.

Although his face still looked like that of a young boy's, his body had matured a lot. As Zick examined his own wide chest and broad shoulders, again the narcissistic thoughts arose within him.

'This really is a great body.'

This was a topic that he had thought of several times over the time he had lived in this body, but he never got bored of repeating this fact within his head whenever it came up.

One month ago all his blood was turned into that of dragon's, it had brought a lot of changes in his body than he had thought. The moment this process was over, all the parts of his body went through modification.

His bones were strengthened to an unbelievable level and the bone marrow was also affected. Now the blood marrow would only create blood cells belonging to that of the dragon's instead of human's.

His internal organs were also strengthened, especially the lungs, they have been modified the most and as expected, Zick got some of the abilities of a dragon.

Zick could breathe out dragon breath now though he didn't know it's capability yet as he hasn't used it, but he innately knew how to use it.

That wasn't the only ability he got, if he willed it black scales would appear all over his body. Zick had already checked its defence, the cursed sword wasn't even able to leave a scratch on it when used with a little mana.

Surprisingly, the mana nerves around his body did not get assimilated with his body yet like a master swordsman. But he could feel that his mana in it had already become the same as aura or even surpassed it in some ways.

This is something impossible for a human to do, the mana nerves would be absorbed by the body the moment mana start turning into aura as their body would not be able handle it.

But Zick's situation was different, his body was totally able to handle the aura within the mana nerves. With just his current body alone his strength was equivalent to a master swordsman and with the aura, his strength reached till the peak of the master swordsman level.

Zick could feel that he would become a master swordsman in a year and a few months with just the dragon Lord's heart. If he trained along with it then the process would be further fastened.

'Without a doubt, my aura and body would be further strengthened after becoming a master swordsman....'

Zick stared at his face and smiled thinking of how his strength was increasing rapidly. Now he didn't have to worry even if the head of the Melvix family tried killing him. This made him a lot more comfortable staying in the estate without any worry.

Outwardly he is just a peak rank knight if anyone looked at him, the only way to find out that his mana had already turned into aura was by Zick using it actively. So he didn't gather much attention upon him in the estate.

The dragon heart still kept strengthening his blood ceaselessly. In the future he would awaken more abilities of the dragon's.

All this had also brought changes to his appearance outwardly, his eyes had already turned vertical like a dragon and there was an otherworldly charm flowing around him. This could make anyone have a nice impression about him even though he has a deadpan look.

Zick got a special ability with his eyes turning vertical, he was able to see through mysterious things easily. Nothing could hide in front of his eyes, at least in the estate. He could even see the potential of other people easily.

There was also another ability that Zick got. It was the ability to awaken his bloodline just like the demihuman. He didn't know the strength he would be granted after using it but-

'There is no reason for me to use it, my strength has already reached the peak of the master swordsman level and I am also a quasi-archmage now.'

Zick's had also made a huge progress in the mage profession. He also got to know another fact.

Zick had brought a few books which could be useful in learning new magic but those magic couldn't bring out all his potential at all.

Zick was able to form and even surpass all the magic mentioned in the book but they weren't compatible with him....

'magic created by humans isn't compatible with me..... I should just create my own.....'

After he was totally turned into a humanoid dragon, his talent in the mage profession also received a massive enhancement.

Zivk was able to perform any magic just by looking at it once, he could even modify it and make it better.

While Zick tried many magic which could bring out all his potential, he was only able to create a few of them even after thinking very hard and using all the knowledge of his past life.

Zick also got to know the capabilities of the blood red earring he had chosen as a reward. It increased the speed at which the mana gathers while forming a magic and the other ability it has is to increase the potency of the magic almost doubling it.

There was also a weird phenomenon which occurred while Zick wore the blood red earring. The red mana given out by the red feather in it was surprisingly assimilated with Zick's body making the feather's glow vanish and making it look like any normal red feather.

But this didn't make the capabilities of the blood red earring drop as the glistening gem was the main object which enhances Zick's magic.

The red mana of the feather assimilated in Zick's body hadn't brought any changes in it so he let it be for now.

After he became a humanoid dragon, Zick stopped sparring with the knights and just trained by himself. Though the knights were confused by his behaviour, they didn't say anything to him.

Even the maids who were present while Zick had not left to the battlefield were surprised looking at him.

They were all actually used to seeing Zick smile all the time before, but now it had changed into a blank face which surprised them to no end. With only a few instances where he would show any emotions on his face.

'What happened to him....? '

This kind of thought appeared in every servant's mind but they were easily able to guess the reason.

Zick had spent two years in the battlefield, in the middle of the place where anyone could die at any moment. This made them become more friendly to Zick and even sympathise a little.

But this all went unnoticed by Zick as he only focused on increasing his strength.
