Chapter 3 - Dragons Are Back

I spent several days down in the sewers hunting rats. When I'd get tiered I'd find a access door and enter my Demi Plain. I repeated this process till i couldn't find any rats at all. Skeletons had started becoming an issue to find also. I was only taking the crystals from the pile of bones. In the end I ended up with about 30 lesser Mana Stones. Didn't gain a single level from killing 30 rats and Skeletons. But I did find the portal the zombie lady came from. It was as just inside the entrance to the dungeon against the wall.

I had accidentally entered and found several strange things like metal boxes on wheels that were crumbled, massive structures of stone reaching into the sky falling apart. I didn't stay long as a shaggy looking human began using a staff to fire metal pellets faster then my eyes could see. It was only my stone skin ability that I'm still hear. I quickly retreated as another older man came up asking what the leather clad man had been firing at.

I don't believe I'll being going back. They seem to treat my kind worse then even my own home did. At least my kingdom didn't kill us for sport, well most of the kingdom didn't.

I left the sewers behind after having taken a shower. Showers where my new favorite things! Hot war water at an instant raining down on you washing the filth away and not leaving you to marinate in your own or others filth. So I stood in the street with fresh glowing skin my long purple hair in a braided bun sitting between my horns. But there was no one to amire my good looks as everyone seems to be in some sort of panic.

I walk toward a guard who was breathing heavily against a wall. "What's going on?"

"Dragon's! Real one not like the ones that come out of Dungeons. We saw dozens of them seemingly poring out of the Sky! A green dragon landed at the gate and demanded tribute or it would poison the water and take what he wanted that was two days ago."

I sighed seemed that while I was busy some of the closer plains of existence connected more stably. Dragons, what a way to start changing the world creatures that changed land scapes and where considered massive threats as mindless monsters. Their stronger smarter and more sadistic ancestors have just arrived.

Guess I should check out the Green Dragon in the forest. Make sure it hasn't entered the gate the feral ghouls came threw. And if it did maybe I'll just leave that one alone. Don't want it coming back to where I'm living currently. "What's the Guild doing?"

"They are organizing scouting parties but we don't have any silver adventurers here so they are taking all volunteers no matter the level or rank."

My eyes snap to him. That was surprising and great for me. An chance to see the and fight the dragon with out pissing off the guild. As if reading my thoughts which I don't put pass the Plains Walkers.

"Well fuck guess I know where I'm headed." My steps seem to echo in the noisy street.

—-

My steps echo threw the forest unlike the others who I'd come in with I wasn't sneaking I was announcing my self. I wanted the smoke or well I guess poison. Yeah I'm pretty sure green dragons are poisonous. But the point was i wanted to fight.

Ever since I was given power I've felt the most alive talking to women and fight things to the death. I'm guessing this is eather just how I am or it's Unknowable pushing my personality to becoming more entertaining for him and his fellows. It didn't matter right now though. If I begin to second guess my self now as I approach something that would set me truly apart then I'm not worth the powers I've gained.

It been several hours of walking at this point. I'm guessing I'm close to the middle of the forest at least a few miles from the city. I wonder if I'll end up destroying the entire forest with the show I'm about to put on.

As I'm thinking about that I see him. The green dragon was using its front two legs to hold some sort of dragon like lizard creature style as it ate the other thing. I saw an older woman sitting on the ground tears flowing down her face she had to be in her late 20s but she was wearing some sort of shiny skin tight blue and yellow suit with a leath bandalere and a leather belt that rest on her truly beautifully wide hips. The skinny body suit seemed to strain in the middle as it held back two of the largest breasts I'd ever seen. Her face was covered in blood and what looked like wet black paint. The paint seemed to line her eyes and run down with here tears. Her beautiful green eyes sparkles in the dim light even more do to her tears. And her hair was cut short in a shoulder length bob with her bangs framing her face. In her hand was one of those weird silver contraptions that the ghouls had on them.

As I stepped closer she raised the thing and pressed it against her head. I knew Unknowable and compared it to a crossbow so I spoke up, "Theirs no need for that."

Her eyes turned wide as she beheld my magnificents. Wait I believe that's my second thought of vanity today. I'll have to check with UnKnowable if that's just a thing. The silver thing fell from her hand as I approached. "Are you the devil," she shakily asked.

"No that racist. I'm just a Tefling. But i guess someone in my family line fucked a Devil or Demon."

She shook her head, "So your real? And that dragon looking thing that is eating an alpha death claw is real?"

"That's not a dragon thing that my dear is a dragon! If you didn't know that it must mean you are from one of the other Realms. Is it the one with the Feral Ghouls?"

"Yes I guess it was I don't was thrown into a building by that death claw but I just passed threw the wall instead of dieing. I looked up and found my self here. There's so much green and my PitBoy hasn't registered any Radiation. Why is that?"

"I don't know what radiation is but you are in my home world. To me it is just home." A roar is heard and I turn to see that the dragon has noticed me. "Giving me a second I need to take care of that beastly thing."

I don't real hear her complaints as I step into the dragons clearing. "So they sent someone? But what's this no hord or gems like I demanded."

I slowly pull my blade and let it rest on my shoulder. "Nope," I pop the p as I speak to real drive home how much I don't seem to care about him. It's also definitely a him as for some read he's got his red rocket hanging out. "I'm here to kill you."

"What is a puny devil spawn going to do?"

I began to pump my magic into my spell I feel it target the woman and the other guild members as allies. Which is fine. I don't really care about the guild members. But that woman definitely needs to stay alive. After pumping 70 MP into the Spell I smile as the ground as a massive half mile Circle of purple forms and the entire inside is died a Royal purple. "Yes I believe I am enough to kill you," I said my voice coming out distorted and wobbly. A high pitch screech just as distorted is heard as the pillar of purple mana can be seen from the city. "Because, I AM ATOMIC!" The mana seems to turn solid shooting straight threw the clouds and blowing them away. The trees are reduced to dust and those out side the circle for a nother half mile are blown over as if by the wrath of a angry god.

As the sun no long drown out in purple reappears the forest has been changed. A one mile crater has taken purchase no animal or monster remains not even their crystals. The trees in the first mile are gone. Only the adventurous remain in this area and the dragon. The dragon was layed out yet still alive. With a quick peek I could see that its Con was 150, ten points higher then what it needed to survive but not enough to truly be fine. Not enough by a long shot. As it was the dragon layed there bleeding wings erased completely along with one of its front legs was burnt up. I smiled as I walked forward Channeling Mana into my blade to use my new spell. "This is a Dragon. I can't wait to see what's next. The worlds changing. I can't wait! Hexing Smite!" I swung the blade now full of black energy down stabbing into its eye. Blood and flames erupted spraying my armor clothes and hair in the crimson as the necrotic energy and flames ate away its brains and Eye. I release my sword as I threw my head back and laughed. As I laughed adventurous fell to their knees and stared at me in amazement.

The spell alone was enough to rank up but I just took out a dragon. A true dragon. The last dragon slayer killed a dungeon dragon a true monster and was promoted to Gold, and here I was standing before a true dragon. Killed by magic and blade. By a man who had gained his class just a few days ago. My laugh seemed to bring great joy to those I entertained.

I looked to the other Copper to Bronze adventures. "Go get the guild. I want my reward and I want help rendering my kill."

They quickly began to scramble away. Further away I made eye contact with the woman in the weird clothing. "Did you enjoy the show?"

"Was that magic?"

"It was! A spell I got when I got my class."

(Be aware she will achieve her own class soon if she doesn't go home. 4 hours here causes other worlders to synch completely. The extra powers will remain permanently even if they return.)

That was helpful. Unknowable realy is a good guy for some super god. As if on cue she screamed. "What the fuck!?"

"It's probably offering you a class. It's this world system. Everyone especially now that world is back on track has one and those none native will gain one if they spend enough time here."

She nodded slowly. "I'm apparently a Fighter. A Gunslinger?"

"No idea what a gun is." I said with a shrug.

"Um this is a gun?" She raised her gun.

"Oh! I took a few of those off some Ghouls." I pulled one of the weathered pistols from the armor with the 10mm cartridges which I now had 12 of. "How does it work?"

"Um here I'll show you. You take these which are called bullets and put them in here. Oh it's and older model! They go into this Cylinder and then you close it like this then you just pull the trigger." She walked me threw the prosses and then pulled the trigger hitting the dirt a bit away. The gun bucked in her hands as fire and sound left the barrel. I jumped up a bit definitely didn't scream.

"Wow that was fucking loud."

"This is actually a quieter gun then some others." She laughed as I sent the gun to my armory.

"Ill stick with my sword much less loud and it's amazing." I said pulling it from the dragons rotting skull. I decided to let the Gacha calm down my heart. Roll!

I went a head and installed the blade arm things and I felt as it was bound to my body. It was strange and I had a instinctive knowledge on how to use them. As I looked down at my arms they looked exactly the same except their were feint silver lines in them. I stuck both the other weapons in my armory and turned my attention to my stats. Beside the two levels from the quest the dragon gave me 3 more. Five levels all at once. What good fortune!

I go threw and choose both the smites from strength. They would be great spells in my arsenal. Then I grabbed Quick Draw and Quick Feet for Dex. A skill and ability perfect to go with both my primary weapon and the new hidden weapons inside my arms. The S rank Ability for con was also a no brainer. Double speed damage and reaction time for 1 SP a second was amazing. The fact that when I got my Con up higher I'd be able to get even bigger boots and as amazing. Intelligence gave me yet more explosive options something I feel like I'm going to be known for. I mean my sword causes them I have spells and abilities for it, it will definitely be my thing. I did end up grabbing Quick Study also I pasted it up once but it's two good to pass up a second time. Wisdom gave me a healing spell which is alway useful and finally I chose Immaculate presence because the other one just felt slimy. I don't need a ability to get my way.

Finially I've been putting off my Evocations and it seemed I had a bunch to grab. Shit i haven't looked at these since level 2 and I'm level 10. Okay looks like I don't get any on 10 I instead got a Pack. Also it looks like I I'm only going to get one new Evocation every Five levels and a new packet every 10 going forward. Well let's take these.

—-

New Pack! Pack of Pestilence-

Aura of Plague- Enemies will begin to become ill the longer they are around you and in combat against you, If their con is lower then your Charisma. If the disparity between the two is to great they can become so ill that they die from being in your presence.

—-

The Pack seems nasty but the spells it brings to my attribute increases and the ability to take the Two Aura Evocations was two good to mass up. And that cantrip would be to much fun summon rats then charge their fur with determination then send them out as my own assassins. This would totally help me with my revenge.

"So what's your name?" The woman asked as she sat down beside me.

"My names Eric."

"I'm Nora. I've been having a pretty interesting time of it lately. And this is just the cherry on they cake," she sighed as if the whole world was crushing her. "Plus it looks like I'm stuck here."

"Why's that?" I look around to see why she would be stuck here. Was someone keeping her here against her will?

"The portal was behind the dragon. But it not there any more. It most have closed from your attack," she said tears rolling down her cheeks. "Not that it matters. My husbands dead my son was kidnapped but he's now older then me and he killed my new friends who used me to get closer to him. That why I'm here in no armor. My friends betrayed me and are all dead my son who's 50 years my senior believes I tried to kill him. So I walked into the Glowing Sea. I knew the air wouldn't kill me do to that things blood but I was sure that something out there would kill me. Especially if I wasn't in my armor with my rifle. And it nearly did. But instead of death I'm here."

"That's… that a lot to unpack! Holy shit! Well Nora I don't think I can't help you get home but I do have a place you can stay at. An I still don't know what radiation is but this world has plenty of things to see hunt fuck and eat."

"Your such a boy! How old even are you?"

"Turned 16 like 3 days ago. That's right I'm officially a man!" I said with a smirk.

"What the fuck? Your just a kid!"

I look at her confused. "No I'm a legal adult in all 27 Countries 12 Empires and 215 independent States, City's, and Islands not officially under anyone rule. The entirety of Fearun agrees on only two thing and that at the age of 16, an aga all races age to equally, is the age that you can work, Drink, fuck, kill, be sold into slavery, pay taxes, and own land."

"Wait slaverys a thing here?"

I nod, "Yeah I'll explain it later when we are at my place but it's a whole thing and I don't think it will be one for much longer."

"This is so fucking weird. So their are like kings and shit hear?"

"Yeah some places don't have them. Like Chult but places that don't have kings or emperors or royals usually have something worse to deal with so no kingdom wants to deal with them."

Before she can ask anymore questions I see people coming out of the destroyed tree line with carts. "Guess it's time to load up this bad boy. I can't wait to stock the cold box with dragon meat and Have Regina make some armor from the corpse. Hey since I kinda dusted your death claw thing I'll have Regina make you some armor from the scales and leather too."

"Oh that nice of you but um, I guess I can't really turn down help since it looks like I'm stuck here."

I roll my eyes, "You know you could just say thanks maybe give me a kiss doesn't hurt."

She giggles before pecking my cheeks and whispering, "Thank You Eric," against my ear. My entire face turned purple as I blushed.

I looked down at my collection of hide scaled bones and meat. The guild gave me a whopping 800 gold with the promise of more when they get the rest of the reward form the main office. And sense I didn't know how the fridge and freezer thing worked I sold them all but 50 pounds of the meat. In total I had a 200k gold IOU from the guild. They also have to send my dead's up the chain of command to see about what my new rank will be. Also Regina agreed to make me and Nora the best armor she could with the bones hide and scales in exchanged she got to keep the rest of material. She was busy taking the materials away and I used the transfer ability to move it the meet to the fridge in the pocket space. After saying goodbye to Regina and Renai I lead Nora threw town till we came to a street with no one on it. I touched the door handle and opened it walking into a well lit room.

Nora hesitated before fallowing me inside where she then gasped. "You have a modern home? I don't see a tv or anything but that a full kitchen and a couch! Those are LED lights. What is this?"

So I explained to her my situation with Unknowable and the other Plains Walkers. I explained about my ancestor the gates the gods enslaving people that didn't have classes and I told her about my ability and the Gacha.

"Wow this is a lot to take in. But I believe the most important part is after 6 months of living with out them I'll have modern technology again. None poisonous food and a bath!" She jumped up hugging me her head tucked tight under my chin. I didn't realize it till just now but she's taller then most women I know. I'm 6 foot 10 inches and she comes up to my chin in boots. She has to be at least 6 and half feet tall. Thinking about it Regina was also around my height. Dam if I wasn't also attracted to Renai I'd say I had a type.

As she skipped off to the bathroom I went out side to meet my new possible familiar. It was a nother bird who was about the same height as Bella being only a little shorter but unlike her this one was Bright yellow. Like almost glowing. It looked like it was itching for a fight. But it still Nuzzled against my chest Tamer making it easier for me to befriend it. So i ran my fingers threw its spiky feathers. "Bind," as i spoke the words we both flashed gold.

{Please Name your new Familiar}

"How do you like Talon?" It screeched in happiness as it nuzzled me.

{Talon is now your Familiar}
