Chapter 5
"Why?" Ethan stared at the strange-looking mask. The mask was separated by black and red on each side. The mask had long horns protruding from the top and long, sharp fangs that extended out of its mouth. Its eyes looked like the eyes of a predator and a demon.T
"his mask will be very useful to you. Just trust me. I know what I am doing," Rowena said.
"You know it better than I do, and it was yours before, anyway."
Ethan shrugged and put the mask in his inventory.
He passed through various weapons. He halted when he got to the end of the hall. He was awestruck by what he saw next: a contact lens.
"What the hell is this stuff doing here?" he furrowed his brows.
"These are the Demi-God's tier. It can evaluate your strengths and attributes. It can also help you use your abilities more easily with just a command. Let me say it is similar to those systems in fantasy novels." Rowena said enthusiastically.
"There is a downside to this. If it's worn, you won't be able to remove it, and it also won't change your eye color."
"Who made it?" Ethan inquired.
"It was made by me and close pals of mine as a gift for my 1000th birthday anniversary. I would have liked to put it on, but since I have taken this form, it won't be possible again, and by the way, it would be a waste if I put it in now," Rowena said in a soft tone; his usual loud voice was nowhere to be seen.
"Why don't you put it on? I'd like to see how it is." Rowena urged.
Ethan proceeded to put on the mask. The thing is that, without him suggesting it, he would have still taken it. Who wouldn't want a system like that? Even though it doesn't give quests like other systems, it would still help him make use of his powers easily. Immediately, the lenses merged with his eyes, and a blue screen flashed, obstructing his view.
[Greetings, host]
**
A portal suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the dragon forest, and then an airship came through it. The bottom of the ship opened, and a man jumped out, landing straight without bending his knees. This man was Aldric.
[AN: Yes, I am going to use Dragon Forest instead of Dragon Beast Forest because it looks kind of long.]
"I hope the boy is still safe out there," Aldric thought, looking at the vast forest. Shortly later, he saw three princes coming toward him. His heart started throbbing instantly, and he quickly looked ahead of the three figures, but Ethan was not among the princes.
His face quickly darkened, and tears threatened to fall out of his eyes.
Aldric knew he had failed to protect the boy. His sister entrusted him.
"Where is Ethan?" was the first word that came to his mouth. The princes tried to avoid eye contact with Aldric.
"I said, where is Ethan?" Aldric repeated his question.
"He-was–devour—"
"I'm here, uncle!" A scream suddenly came from behind the princes.
The princes quickly turned around, and their pupils grew at the person in front of them.
Many thoughts flooded their minds, but they quickly gained their composure.
Aldric heaved an audible sigh of relief. Luckily for the prince, he was not able to see the expression they made.
Ethan walked over and stood close to the others. The prince sent furious glares at him, but he ignored them completely.
"So why are your guys sobbing as if something bad happened?"
"Nothing," they all said at once. Aldric smells something fishy, but he pushes the thought away.
"Now, back to business. Where are the dragon eggs? "
They all brought their dragon eggs out. Each of them held one egg, but what happened next stunned them, because Ethan currently carried two eggs.
It was a shock because he was considered the weakest among them. Although they knew he could still make them sweat a bit, they never believed he could escape that fall, and on top of that, he could gain 2 dragon eggs on his own, because even though they did teamwork to get the eggs, it wasn't easy.
Within the airships...
The airship was returning at a fast pace, making a trail of light behind them, but the same could not be said for the princes, as they were all glaring at Ethan with killing intent.
After a while, Ethan muttered to himself, "Time to check this system stuff."
Chapter 6[ User: Ethan Dracon ][ Race: Dragon ][ Rank: Half Dragon Lv1 10 ][ Skills: none ][ Strength: 5 ][ Agility: 5 ][ Stamina: 5 ][ Charm: 50 ][Shop] [Tutorial]“How can I level up?” Ethan asked.“By channeling your dragon gene, as I said before, it’s not a system that gives quests but keeps a tab of your attributes,” Rowena replied.“Wait, why are you the one answering me?” Ethan asked, confused.“I kind of fused with the system, so we are one now,” replied Rowena.“I hope he won’t be able to read my thoughts.” It would be so weird, Ethan thought.“OK, you were talking about channeling.”“Yes, each Draconian has a Dragon core within them. The larger the core, the stronger the dragon becomes. You are supposed to know this,” Rowena said.“I know. I just wanted more insight.” He exited the screen and entered the shop screen. Different kinds of things were listed there.[ Dragon healing pills » 20 points ][ Dragon channeling potions » 100 million points ]He could see some
Chapter 7Ethan had been secluded inside his room, practicing the basics. He could be seen throwing punch after punch in the air, followed by kicks.His movements had become a little swifter since he merged with the ancient dragon.He finally rested after training for two days.He came out of his room, walked past the familiar photo hallway, and stood on the balcony, watching the massive blue ocean.Despite the castle being on a volcano, the air was still fresh, and a sweet lavender scent filled the air.Thud, thud, thud.Ethan heard the sound of footsteps approaching him, accompanied by a deadly killing intent.He felt as if a person was about to stab him from behind, so he turned around. Liam stood there with his hands behind his back.“How did you survive?” Liam squinted his eyes.“Oh, I was saved by our ancestor,” Ethan flashed an annoying smile.“Don’t joke with me!” Liam’s chest heaved up and down. Then, he tried to hold Ethan’s neck, but the latter dodged quickly to the left, c
Chapter 8Currently, Ethan was walking past the huge hallway of the castle. On the walls, various red dragon sculptures could be seen. They were present in all of the hallways.Strange red beast crystals could be seen etched on the ceiling from which light brightened the castles.The hallway was filled with numerous servants, both male and female, in red silk attire with a huge dragon head on their chest.Ethan walked down the hallway, the servants by his side, with his head held high.Someone recently told him to never keep his head down, as that is a sign of weakness. Great men always keep their heads held high, regardless of the situation, and it gives them a confident appearance, at least according to Rowena."Look at him, acting all mighty." The servants mumbled to each other when they walked past him a few meters. But they forgot the dragons had sensitive hearing.Ethan saw Kane coming toward him with a large arrogant smile across his face. He made brief eye contact with him and
Chapter 9“Your mom would have been proud of you if she was here,” Aldric said while tapping on the metal seat by his side.They were currently seated in one of the spectator seat rows.“Well, she is not here, is she?” Ethan said, staring at the empty fighting platform.Aldric flashed a smile. “She was so fond of you, you know.”“That is what you always told me.”Aldric ignored his tone and said, “I know you might be thinking she doesn’t love you.”“She does?”“Yes, she does, and in fact, cherished you more than her own life.” Aldric shifted his gaze to Ethan’s face, who was still staring at the space in front of him.“Any time you get bullied, I feel my heart throbbing. My sister, your mother, sacrificed a lot for you. That is why you need to become powerful so that you can make her proud, and I see you are already making progress.” Aldric stood up and faced Ethan again.“Ethan, stay safe.” And with that, he walked away.Ethan still sat there, staring in the same direction. He needs
Chapter 10The four Dragon princes were currently seated at a round table.The atmosphere was quite tense, to the extent that a pin drop would echo.Lewis, seated at the side, glared at Ethan with a mixture of shock, fear, and hatred.Ethan was minding his own business, as usual, and Liam was quite cautious in front of Ethan.He didn’t mock Ethan the way he usually did; he dared not act arrogant after the confrontation.Kane stared at Ethan. He’d been doing it the whole time, trying to figure out just what was different about Ethan. His eyes suddenly squinted as he saw a glimpse of Ethan’s tattoo.Kane had beaten Ethan on several occasions, so he knew just what Ethan’s body looked like. He also noticed Ethan’s now-defined muscles, and now the whole thought just seemed confusing."Just what are you hiding? What happened to you? "The large double doors soon opened wide, and Aldric walked through them. He entered and took his usual spot beside the large seat.“I am not going to beat aro
Inside the Earth’s space station…A man with an eye patch was casually seated in the control center, boredom visible on his face. “I am sick and tired of this. I have been staring at this screen all day long, yet nothing is happening…”Beep! Beep! Beep!An alarm resounded loudly inside the space station.The man with the eye patch jumped up from his seat. “What is it?” he inquired, moving towards the big screen. Several men wearing military uniforms could be seen typing away on multiple screens.“Captain, I think something just trespassed our defense line,” one man said.“What? But I see nothing,” the man with the eye patch responded.“Sir, we think it is invisible,” another man with bald hair deduced.A red light indicated a spot on the screen, signifying that something had just passed through the defense line.“Make it visible,” the man ordered again.“We have already tried, but the intruder seems to be preventing us from inside,” replied one of the soldiers in the control seat.The
After paying the 50 points, he was led to a room, or should I say, a locker room. Different lockers could be seen arranged in an orderly manner.He could see both male and female fighters who had ripped v-cut abs.The females looked more like men, with visible muscles everywhere. Compared to everyone here, he was the least in terms of muscles.He caught sight of a figure who had a similar build to him. The figure sat at the end of the broad locker room. Judging by his outfit, Ethan already knew the latter was a guest, just like him.The organizer in charge of the locker room led him to a locker with "guest" inscribed on it. He connected the dots: the guest locker room is for those who just want to participate for a night. That explains why the other fighters seem huge and bulky. "They are probably fighters who have been contracted to this fighting club," Ethan thought inwardly.He opened the metal locker and saw fighting attire neatly arranged. Surprisingly, there were only shorts and
Ethan finally connected the dots: the pale skin, the speed, and now his red eyes. It all meant one thing—he was fighting with a freaking vampire."What are you doing on the human planet?" Ethan tried to initiate conversation."I should be the one asking that question," the vampire sent out another punch."Well, I'm here on important business," Ethan said, frowning."Likewise," the vampire sent yet another kick. "I never knew the dragons wanted a share of Earth too," the vampire mocked."At least, we won't go on a rampage, sucking people's blood," Ethan sneered, sending a punch out.If one looked closer, they would be able to see small sparks anytime the duo exchanged blows."You think we are those savages who call themselves vampires," the vampire scoffed.Inside the hall, a girl was staring at the fight with keen interest. This was Layla, the girl Ethan had met inside the locker room.Layla had been watching the fight for a while now, and she had to admit the fight was interesting.A
