Leo The Dragon Heir

Chapter 1

“Finally, I can get back home and rest my head.” Lucas came out of the store where he worked as a part-time cleaner, he was done for the day and wanted to head back home to rest his head.

There wasn't much for him to do when he got back home, he had to rest his head. He had five jobs for the next day, “After all that work I need to get a day to sit down and relax. But if I do that then I will be down on payment and stuff. The last thing I want is that stupid landlord to come and throw me out on the streets like I can't do anything.”

Lucas kicked an empty can as he walked down the street. He let out a defeated sigh as he kept walking. “Who am I kidding? The man will make sure that I don't even find another house in the city, I have to make sure I don't lose everything I have as a home.”

Lucas was not the type of person that would sit back and enjoy a day off. He had been alone since his high school days, he was what people would call a total loser.

All of his peers had something better doing with their lives, most of them had gone to college, and most of them were successful business people.

But Lucas turned out to be a loner and a failure who survived by working multiple jobs to keep his living up.

‘Just to keep on working, maybe one day you end up at the bottom of the rainbow.” Leo always kept his mood active with a little imagination, he didn't have anything but his thoughts.

Lucas kept his head high, he wasn't going to let anything make him feel like he was not worth something.

“Now Randy make sure that the toy doesn't make you forget where you're going,”

Lucas turned to see a mother holding her eight-year-old son. The boy was holding a Goku action figure in his hand as he jumped up and down.

“Don't worry Mom, I'm a Supah Saiyan.” The boy smiled as he ran past Lucas, he was almost on the sidewalk.

‘Doesn't she know that it's dangerous to let your kid run through the street like that? Well, I don't know what it's like to have kids so I will shut my mouth.” Lucas tried not to look at the boy. Who was he to question the parenting of others when the only parent he had left, made sure that he threw him out when he was a high school student?

Lucas didn't care what others did or how they lived their life, he wanted to make sure that no matter what he would be alive to enjoy his own life for a bit longer.

“Randy! Stop!”

Lucas paused to look at the woman and her son, he saw that the boy had jumped into the main road. Lucas looked up and saw a truck coming with great speed, he could back away to avoid being hit but the boy was going to die.

“Hey Kid! Get out of the way!” Lucas dropped his bag and rushed for the boy, he didn't know what was pushing him to do so but he ran faster than he had in his life.

Lucas caught the boy, he didn't waste time to push him off to the sidewalk. “There!”

But before Lucas could think of anything the truck came running down. It hit him with full force sending Lucas four feet into the air.

Lucas landed on his back, he couldn't move nor could he even think about anything with the pain clogging his mind.

“Ah shit, I just had to be the hero.” Lucas could feel himself slipping away slowly, he didn't even know what he was going to do.

He could hear the voices of people around him, all of them were trying to make sure that they saved him.

“At least I will get to meet Mom now, my life has been a joke anyway. There are so many things I didn't do,” Lucas' entire life flashed in front of him and he knew that his time was done for.

‘I leave this world with regrets in my heart, I wish there was a chance for me to be something that could change the world. Well maybe in the next life, I will be someone who can change the whole world.”

Lucas smiled before closing his eyes accepting death, everyone standing close to his body was shocked to see that the boy had died saving another soul.

“What a hero, I hope he rests easy.” A man commented as the ambulance began to pull up.

Lucas opened his eyes, he could feel something a bit strange. ‘What is going on here? Is this the way to heaven or hell?’ he was looking around a void space, there was nothing he could see.

“Now push Abigail! Push!”

Lucas looked around, he didn't know who was making that sound. He was a bit confused, he looked around trying to find out where he was.

“One more time Abigail, Push!”

Lucas then felt something pull him out of where he was, there was a bright light and suddenly he could breathe.

‘Is this what heaven is meant to feel like? Why do I feel weird?” Lucas couldn't see anything like something was blurring his vision.

“It's a boy. What do you want to call him?” A lady's voice asked, Lucas was still confused as to what had happened trying to put together what was going on by his side.

It then felt like someone was taking him around, they handed him to another person. Lucas opened his eyes to see a lady with brown hair, she also had a voluptuous chest where she held Lucas close to. She had a nice smile and she looked like all those ladies that would be seen in modelling companies.

“My beautiful son, I will name him Leo .” The lady smiled, there were happy voices beside her.

Lucas looked around, he didn't understand what had happened or where he was.

“What in the world is going on here?” Lucas looked around, he was not even sure that there was an explanation given for why he was still alive or breathing. “That truck hit me, I felt my life was over and I know there was no way anyone would have survived that so how am I alive?”

Reincarnation was something called impossible in various parts of the world and called a myth. But Lucas was alive not due to anything but his luck and his act of selflessness, he had done something that no one would even think of doing. Jumping in to save a child from a truck, he had given his life for another so for some reason he was reborn into another world.

Lucas had been reborn into a different realm in a world called Ivandale, here he was given the name Leo, it was like something he had been reading in his comics and he saw it as impossible. The world was vast and filled with many wonders that Leo was not yet used to. But it took him 17 years to get used to the world and its surroundings and his new name. There were so many different things in the new world he was living in. He lived in a village on the outskirts of Ivandale in a village called Lyron.

“Leo ?! Can you come help me with something?” Abigail, Leo's mother called out for him, she was a normal farmer and did everything to make sure that her son was happy.

“Coming Ma,” Leo got up from his daydreaming, he was different from Kids his age in Lyron. He was bigger and somehow stronger than them but he wasn't discriminated against; rather they saw him as their big brother and someone who would help them out when they needed the help.

“What were you doing inside? You were daydreaming again weren't you?” Abigail asked her son, Leo smiled as he stepped out of the house.

He was a six-foot-tall young man, he had a well-chiselled chin and well-toned muscles. His dark brown hair framed his face, and his build made him look like he was a trained warrior.

“You could have used your magic to move this inside, I wonder why you called me.” Leo teased his mother, he was well aware that she could have used her wind magic to move the load and not call him but she would always want to call him for help.

Abigail smiled looking at her son, she knew that there was no way he would even let her go free for bringing him out. “So a mother can't ask her son for help? I wanted to make sure that there was nothing wrong with you. You have been quiet since you didn't awaken your core.”

Another unique thing about Ivandale is its people's ability to use magic. They were blessed with magic and mana, and the people of Ivandale could use the elements of fire, water, earth, wind, lighting, ice, and sound. There were other elements but they could only be used by people or races of higher mana.

Ivandale was divided into four parts; Darwino, Aranthia, Duriholm, and Siv. Eldoria belonged to the elves, creatures filled with mana and were stronger than the humans in every way. Duriholm belonged to the dwarves, who were the craftsmen of Ivandale, Siv the land that belonged to the druids, who were the protectors of the tree of time.

“Come on Mom, I am okay. I can't be the only one in the whole of Ivandale that doesn't have a magical affinity yet. I know it might take time but when it comes it would be great! Just like my father’s rare blue flame.” Leo looked at his mother with a smile on his face, he knew that she would be worried sick and there was no way she would have been able to do anything to make his mother happy.

Abigail smiled when she saw him in good spirits, nothing was going to make him sad or feel out of place. “Yes dear, it will be like your father’s blue flames.” Both of them carried the load into the barn, it was like there was nothing else going to make them feel like there was no hope left for Leo.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a dark cloud covered Lyron. Abigail felt a warm and dark breeze, it was something that she was a bit familiar with and it was clear she wasn't going to be saying anything to her son.

“Oh no, it can't be them. Not now! Why are they here?” Abigail muttered to herself, Leo headed inside after they had dropped the equipment. Abigail looked in the direction where Leo had entered.

She had a worried look on her face, it was like she was hiding something and she didn't want Leo to see it. She walked out of the barn to see three people hovering over the barn. They were powerful beings and they were not trying to hide it from anyone.

“Well, I didn't expect to see you here. Do you still live? You are one stubborn human girl.” one of the beings spoke up, it was in the form of a man and had a shadow flowing out of his body.

“What do you want? You already killed him, didn't you?! So why are you here?!” Abigail yelled at them, she was trying her best to make sure that nothing happened to bring Leo out of the house.

The beings looked at Abigail as they began to laugh evilly, it was something otherworldly but Abigail didn't let them scare her like that. She was looking at them not removing her eyes from them any time soon, she was not going to waste time there waiting for them to attack her first.

“Yes I know, but you see I know you had a child with him. An offspring means that his powers were transferred to someone, so you don't need to make this like the last time we saw each other. It will be better if you hand the child over to us and we will be on our way.”

Another one of the beings spoke up. She was different, her pupils were missing and her voice was deep and hoarse like she was from the underworld. “You can't hide him for long, we will find him and there is no way anyone would be able to keep him from us.”

Abigail took a stance, she looked the beings in the eye. “I took you on before, I can do it again. But you are not having my son!” Abigail conjured up wind with her hands and whirlpools began to form.

“You choose to die rather than hand over the boy?! You choose a rather ghastly fate, Princess Abigail! Don't worry we will give you a quicker end than we gave your Traitorous MATE!” The last being dropped to the ground, her eyes glowing as she controlled objects with her hands.

Abigail ran towards the woman, and both of them clashed together sending a shockwave through Lyron. The shockwave hit Leo who had tried sneaking off, he felt his mother’s wind blow through his hair.

“Something is wrong here,” Leo began to walk towards the barn to see if he would spot anyone. He reached close to feel the surge of power coming from the other side.

He looked out to see his mother facing three beings that were not humans. “Mom?” Leo called out, he was looking confused when he saw his mother-facing creatures that could warp the fabric of reality.

Abigail, who was focused on the battle, heard her son's call, she looked back to see him. “Leo run!” Abigail yelled and the entire barn shook at her voice.

The beings looked at Leo, “That's him! He is a boy! Bring him to me!” the creature with Hollow eyes ordered.

Abigail let out a loud shriek making the beings fall to the ground holding their ears. “You will not lay a hand on my son!” Abigail took off her necklace and threw it in the direction that Leo was running.

The necklace flew off carrying Leo in an orb-like object, Leo was confused when he saw himself way above the ground. He looked back to see his mother doing something. “Mom! Mom! Mom!!”

“You are a foolish girl aren't ya Princess Abigail! But don't worry you will be alive to see us use your son to start the end of the world.” The woman said with a smirk on her face as she was looking at Abigail.

Abigail looked back to see her son was somewhere safe. “No, you are the foolish ones for coming here thinking I would be as weak as I was back when I was still pregnant. I didn't do this back then only because I was trying to make sure that my child was okay.”

Abigail raised her hand to the air, the three beings saw her do it and they knew what she was planning to do. “An Ancient Forbidden Spell? You will kill yourself too, and I know you would love to see your son again. So there is no way you are killing yourself.”

Abigail smiled and looked at the beings, “I have lived my life, and I will give anything to be with my beloved. So to make sure my son has a future and life to live, I am willing to do anything!”

Abigail took a step back, “VOID PULL: IMPLOSION OF WORLDS!” there was a sound gust of wind in the area pulling everything within a five-mile radius closer to the implosion.

“Fool! Since he is alive there will be others that will stop at nothing to make sure they find him. Your death has no cause Abigail!” the woman yelled as she was being pulled into the collision.

“I made sure that I prepared for it, I sealed his powers all these years waiting for you. My son will be the saviour of Ivandale and all her people! He will not be a tool of destruction!” Abigail yelled back, she looked at them smiling. “I die knowing that there is still someone to protect Ivandale. Leo, become what your father saw you would be my son. I love you.”

There was a massive explosion, the spot where the barn and house stood had a huge crater.
