BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22 - Take The Skies
Adrian then asked Ascalor how can he sprout wings since the only race he knows that can fly are the dragonkin and their wings are permanently attached to their body plus they already gain the skill to fly the moment they created their characters.
Adrian looked at Ascalor with a face looking lost. Ascalor then told him that in order to sprout the wings, he has to imagine them sprouting from his back. Ascalor then demostrated and showed his wings to Adrian. Ascalor sprouted a pair of wings that are similar to a bat yet reminiscent of dragon wings. The pair of wings had a wings span of about 1.5 meters each and looked powerful.
The skin covering the bone structure of the wings are deep violet of color with runic symbols that glow in blue light. The rest of the front part of the wings are of light purple in color giving the wings while the back part continued the color scheme of deep violet color.
Adrian\'s eyes sparkled as if it saw a treasure. He really wanted to know how to do that. Ascalor then told him the that unlike other species in the world that has the capability to fly, the Imps are a special case. The imp species are said to have been unable to fly when the first generation were born.
The first generation of imps were the weakest of the Daemos race back then as they did not possess the sublime mastery of origin magic like the djinn or the immense strength of the diabolons. Trying to become relevant to the race, the an imp then prayed to the twin gods and they answered him through a dream. The dream entailed that the imp was soaring through the endless skies with its proud wings as if the sky was not the limit.
"So basically, we got the idea to sprout wings through a dream?" said Adrian in a bewildered tone which resulted in him cutting off Ascalor\'s story.
Ascalor looked at him with a smile but had an aura of intimidation.
"Okay, carry on. Sorry for bothering you." Adrian said immediately to pacify Ascalor then continued listening to the story.
Ascalor told him that with that inspiration in mind, the imp was then trying to replicate what was needed to in order realise that dream. They practiced day and night. Finding inspiration on how wings of other beings work or how they function. Until they did not get a single result.
"What! You told me that story but it did not even tell me how can I sprout my wings." Adrian fumingly said.
Ascalor then coughed and handed Adrian a potion with embarassment written all over Ascalor\'s face.
"You are actually the only one who has the patience to listen to my story. Ho ho ho." Ascalor said laughingly with a mischievous tone.

"This is not enough compensation from wasting my precious time." Adrian bickered.
"Ehmm. I hope this will be helpful for you then." Ascalor said as if bribing Adrian.

Adrian the quickly drank the potion and a notification popped up.
[Player has acquired the active skill Flight]
Wings then sprouted from Adrian\'s back. The wings had a wingspan of about a meter which were half a meter shorter than Ascalor\'s. The wings did not have runes that emitted a blue glow. Adrian then asked why his wings did not have runes on it and Ascalor asnwered that because his persona is not yet that high. Adrian then looked at the skill that he gained and said goodbye to Ascalor as he went to an empty area that he could practice flying.

"No wonder the dragonkin do not stay airborne all the time. The mana consumption is just ridiculous." Adrian uttered.
Adrian then started practicing to fly with Sirius watching him as he tried his multiple tries. First, he imagined that his wings were flapping and it did but not at the same time that resulted in him hovering off the ground but lost balance in the air which he fell face first. Adrian then distributed his remaining status points so that he could use the skill for long periods of time.Adrian tried for about eight hours in game until he could hover off the ground with perfect center of gravity and his wings were in sync. He also used all of his mana potions in his inventory since he did not want to stop practicing. He only got 30 minutes left until he needed to log out before a notification popped up.
[Flight skill achieved increased in mastery]
"I would get the quest rewards for tomorrow. I would just sell in the online auction the soul stone I got." Adrian thought.
Adrian set-up the item for auction and linked the payment to his phone.
