*** "Grrrr..." Opened eyes... A dragon opened its eyes, awakened by an incredibly uncomfortable sensation that roused it from its seemingly endless slumber. The feeling was unsettling enough to shake the dragon from its deep sleep. As its eyes adjusted to the dim light within the enclosed space, a low growl escaped its throat, causing the walls to tremble. "Grrrr... Is that my Lord?" muttered the dragon, its voice resonating through the walls of the chamber. As the dragon turned its gaze toward the source of the aura it sensed, its sharp senses immediately recognized the presence of its long-awaited master. Veldagordiaz was no ordinary dragon; he was one of the most powerful dragons in the world, bestowed with immense strength and magical abilities. His sole purpose was to guard this chamber and its contents from any intruders, and for millennia, he had patiently awaited his master's return. Veldagordiaz, a dragon possessing formidable powers, was entrusted with the task of guard

Kazuki stood in the center of the room, his eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the sight before him. A massive pile of gold, shimmering in the light, greeted him. It was a breathtaking sight, and Kazuki felt as if he was in a dream. He had never seen so much wealth in one place Step... Step... Step.... As he took a few staggered steps forward, his eyes never left the pile of gold. The way the light danced off of the gold coins and ingots was mesmerizing, and he felt as if he was being pulled towards it. He was so lost in the beauty of the gold that he didn't even realize that he was muttering to himself. "Gold...this is all gold. So much of it...how is this even possible?" Kazuki whispered to himself in awe. He rubbed his eyes, still not believing what he was seeing. But the pile of gold remained, as real as anything he had ever seen. At a glance, not only were there several tons of gold in here, but this large room was full of gold! Absolutely full of gold!! Kazuki really fel

*** "... What happened to that Human?" Veldagordiaz watched in awe as the human before him began to absorb power, a power that was reminiscent of his master's. The power was so immense that Veldagordiaz couldn't help but wonder if this was the true power of his lord. The human slowly began to absorb power similar to that of its master. "... It's not a resemblance anymore, but this is the true power of my lord!?" Veldagordiaz was surprised when he saw this change. Even though he wanted to help, he couldn't, because there was a restriction from the seal that prevented him from touching or doing anything to the human. He could only stand there and watch as the human's body began to change. This time, Veldagordiaz believed in one thing that... "This Human is my Lord's descendant, yet this Human doesn't realize it at all!!!!" That was the conclusion Veldagordiaz reached after analyzing it more thoroughly. As he observed the changes, Veldagordiaz realized that the human was his lord

*** Velda's emotions were a mix of sadness and anger as he spoke to Kazuki. The weight of his master's absence burdened him, leaving him feeling lost and uncertain about his future. As he gazed at Kazuki, he wondered what would become of him now that his master was gone. Kazuki was taken aback by Velda's emotional outburst. He had never seen the giant creature so vulnerable and exposed, which made him realize the depth of the bond between Velda and his master. He knew he had to find a way to help Velda, to release him from the seal that trapped him in the room. The Soul Contractor Runes glowed faintly on Kazuki's hand, a reminder of the power he now possessed. He understood that he had to use it to aid Velda, but he wasn't sure how. Sensing Kazuki's confusion, Velda explained that he was bound by his master's contract and could only follow his orders. However, with the contract now absorbed by Kazuki, Velda was free to act on his own. The only obstacle was the seal that kept him co

*** "...So, from now on, can you come with me in this world, System?!" [...Yes! I can accompany you, Master!] "Then what about this lizard?" "Hey, Human! Don't call me a lizard! Just call me Velda! And I'll communicate with you telepathically! So, no need to speak out loud!" At that moment, Kazuki hurriedly dressed in his new clothes while conversing with the System and Velda, who had taken on the form of a cute little lizard. After exploring various locations in the different realms of Erchellot Forest with the System, Kazuki became intrigued by the idea of exploring the depths of other forests. However, he realized that he had to return to his own world and resume his everyday life. After a long summer vacation, Kazuki was about to start a new school year at high school, and he hoped to apply the experiences and knowledge he gained from his adventures in other worlds to his daily life, such as combat and strategic planning. Velda's appearance had been altered using the skill '
