I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Vol 1's. Chapter 1: Meeting the Gods

My name is Ayame, I'm 18 years old and probably past it, I just graduated High School a few hours ago and I don't know what happened when I opened my eyes I was in a white room and even the barrier between the floor and the wall really wasn't be seen.

Ekh... It's so bright... !

I woke up in a very bright room when as I remembered I was walking along with my sister. Lying down helplessly while covering my eyes I barely wanted to lift my hand away from my face because this place was so dazzling, at least that was the first impression I gave to this place that was out of nowhere.

What exactly is this place and where am I?

This place felt so strange to me, I turned my head to the right and left trying to find out about this place without taking my hands away from my face, but I did not find anything and instead made my mind even more chaotic because it was filled with confusing questions.

What's the matter?

Again the question came to my mind, how not? this place is very empty like a white vacuum is the most dominant covering this place, except at the top which seems to emit rainbow light like the aurora borealis

DUKK!!!

"Oiii...!!! are you listening to me, huh?!"

Uh...! wh-who's that? isn't it just me in this room? where'd he come from? what's he gonna do to me?

Confused by all the questions in my head suddenly there was someone hitting the table really hard, I immediately woke up feeling shocked and scared even after the sound of the punch there was a person who shouted and scolded me spontaneously making me sit with a racing heart.

I was really shaking in fear of not daring to open my eyes while facing my face down from not daring to look at her.

"Let's calm Ryuu.. Maybe he is just confused and unaware of our existence, it's a natural thing right?"

Uh...! female voice?

After a while I was silent with a pale face of fear came the voice of a soft and delicate-pitched woman who was trying to calm the person before, out of curiosity slowly I then raised my head and opened my eyes peering towards those people even though I did not dare to stare at her face, and sure enough there were three people sitting in front of me one of them was the soft-spoken woman with pink hair and glittering looking accessories, the woman also used a translucent pink scarf, while the other two were a bearded grandfather and also a young man who looked like a 16-year-old.

"Yes, there might be a point too! but, I've explained everything at length from the beginning, and he didn't listen to me at all that much!!" tell the teenager to him with an annoyed tone and face.

Although still a bit scared, I slowly turned my eyes to look at their faces and listened to the conversation while trying to understand it. That person seemed to be angry at me because I did not listen to him, while the grandfather sitting right in front of me just kept quiet while occasionally sipping the tea that was in front of us, yes it really smelled like tea and I suck because I was not aware of its existence when I was very close to the table.

"Oiii!.you, this time I will forgive you! so listen carefully to my explanation understand...?!!" said me.

When I was trying to listen to their conversation suddenly the teenager looked at me with a rather irritated look and a speech that did sound very upset to me, he said, spontaneously I immediately faced my face down as before while nodding my head did not dare to look at him and even my hands still felt trembling.

"That's it, Ryuu." Said a woman next to him.

With a soft voice the woman again advised the man and finally she started to act calmer as she let out a heavy sigh staring at me, I then slightly raised my face to look at her while thinking maybe I should apologize to her, but I was confused how to say that? I'm not fluent in speaking and can't even be at all because I'm mute.

[I'm sorry ]

Um... but come to think of it, can he understand writing that doesn't look like this?

I raised my hand on the table and wrote my apology on the table with my finger hoping he could understand it, at least I tried to apologize and the rest how he understood it, that's all.

"What's wrong. You don't have to apologize." Say it while drinking the tea.

It seems he understood it thankfully then.

I was immediately relieved because he could understand what I wanted to say, otherwise it would be a little difficult especially since I could not speak.

"At least we should explain this until you fully understand, in order to be able to choose the decision and the path you want." Me next.

He continued his words calmly and told me that later the explanation would be useful to choose a decision.

Wait, the decision!? what does he mean? I don't understand!?

I slightly tilted my head after hearing his words because this was really confusing for me.

"There's no need to rush the sweet child, how about we start from the introduction?" said my bearded grandfather.

"I think it's better that way too." That beautiful woman.

The grandfather spoke in his typical voice as a wise old geezer and proposed to re-start the conversation from the beginning as I was still very confused by this state of affairs, hearing that I then nodded my head slightly as I still felt afraid to look into her eyes, and from my right side the beautiful woman also agreed with the grandfather's proposal.

"Then let me begin, I am the God of wisdom, Gain"

...

"I am the Goddess of love and compassion, Salia"

...

"And I am the God of life, call me Ryuu"

Grandfather started the introduction by introducing himself first followed by the woman and also the teenager who had previously scolded me who turned out to be a God.

Aaaa... God?!! does that mean I have made the Gods angry, no no no!! I will definitely be punished, I will definitely be thrown into hell!

No!!! i-i'm sorry! i-i'm sorry! I'm really sorry...! please forgive me! do not torture me, do not send me to hell...

My mind was so messed up when the word god started to say from their mouths, I even repeatedly kowtowed and bowed my head, trying to apologize once again.

"Eptttt.. wahahahaha.. hahahaha... hahaha... wahahahaha.you are really funny..."

The god laughed out loud clutching his belly while banging the table looking at my suddenly changed behavior, maybe he thought it was something funny but not me, hey come on...! can you understand my current situation, I'm really tense, okay!

"Not to worry! I'm not that cruel God."

He started talking to me, to calm me down while occasionally wiping his watery eyes from excessive laughter, I raised my head slowly with slightly watery eyes.

"Eptttt.. hahahaha... hahahaha..."

The god laughed out loud again, only this time he seemed unable to hold it back, he laughed as he rolled on the floor, after seeing my face that looked flushed red with watery eyes almost cried.

Ohoooooo!!!

"Have Ryuu gone. Don't overdo it, you're making him uncomfortable."

Seeing the laughter of Lord Ryuu who was already unrestrained Goddess Salia then asked Lord Ryuu to stop laughing, because it really made me feel uneasy.

Slowly but surely he began to stop his laughter with a sigh, seeing the state of the God who had calmed down, I began to calm myself and tried to lower my hand to begin to show my face.

"Then please.../

"Uwahahahaha.. hahahaha.see his face uwahahahaha.." laughs Lord Ryuu while banging the table.

NOKKKKKK!!!!

As the Goddess Salia started to speak, the loud laughter of Lord Ryuu who suddenly interrupted her words, even the loud laughter of the God Ryuu shocked me and spontaneously made me instantly close my face again.

Aaaa!!! stopit!stopnn!!! please stop!!

In my heart I kept screaming asking him to stop laughing because I couldn't anymore and I ended up really crying, I covered my crying face, yes crying, crying because laughing, funny no! I'm really whiny. Slowly the Goddess walked up to me and took a spot next to me, then stroked my head.

"Yumu!! that's enough, you're so overdone!"

Hard enough the Goddess snapped at Lord Ryuu to stop, she was indeed excessive, but I did not turn it on for it, because it was my behavior that looked funny.

"All right! all righty! i understand! you don't have to be angry with the Goddess." he said casually.

He casually replied to the Goddess, I lowered my hand once more and slightly raised my red face and cheeks that were soaked with tears, suddenly, Lord Ryuu was silent with round eyes and a slightly guilty look.

"Y-yahh... It seems like I'm overreacting, I'm sorry?" god Ryuu apologized.

" … "

Hearing Lord Ryuu apologizing to me made me very astonished, and instantly wiped my tears then gave a small nod while smiling at him.

"Then please introduce your name?" said Lord Ryuu while turning his face away.

Still awkwardly he asked me to introduce myself, but didn't God need to ask that, I mean that God must have known it without having to ask, right!?

It was obvious that he was awkward talking to me, after humiliating me enough with that laugh.

"A-aa..."

Emhh... How is this?

"What's wrong?" ask the Goddess.

" ... "

I could only be silent without answering anything, I could not speak, I was deaf and mute.

Wait a minute I can hear!? how come?

" ...? "

"Oh.. So I see, I understand" said the bearded grandfather.

Ehh... does that grandpa know about my problem?

"There's nothing. there's no need to force yourself" Dewi Salia told me.

It seemed that the Goddess also understood my condition while continuing to stroke my head, and I just nodded with a slight gloom brooding over my incompetence, how else would I never speak with my mouth.

"You must be very troubled, sweet girl, let me explain something" said God's grandfather wanted to explain something to me while starting to take a breath.

"Listen well, there is no limit to the soul of a person who has been detached from his body, if the soul has been separated from his physical all the limitations that exist in his body will not be carried into the soul, in other words, even if you have a deficiency while still alive."Grandfather explained.

" ...? "

"… but since you are now only a detached soul, you have been freed from all the limitations of your physical body, do you understand?" continues asking.

So, I'm dead...

Speaking casually the God-grandfather explained to me something about the soul, but I was still confused by what was said by him, while Lord Ryuu and Goddess Salia remained silent while staring at me to let grandfather speak, listening to grandfather speak I then recalled the events before I ended up in this place, and the last memory I can remember is the sound of an ambulance that took me to the hospital because of a road accident.

Continuing to listen to God's grandfather's words I began to deduce every word of grandfather and combine it with the last memory I remembered, and there was only one possibility of what I concluded, yes I've died from an accident before and that explains why I was in this place, it's sad to know I'm dead, but even though I could survive the accident I would still die because my body's health condition was already very bad even my own future was also destroyed and it was a fact that I had to accept though very painful.

Forgive big brother Yuna, big brother can no longer accompany you...

"Don't be sad our beautiful child is here to help you" said Dewi Salia while stroking my head.

Dropped down gloomily upon learning that I was dead, the Goddess Salia then gently stroked my head again while trying to calm me down, the Goddess's treatment did indeed make me feel better, but in the end my only regret is not being able to see my sister grow up.

…

[ Ayame ]

"Yourame?"

" … "

"What a great name."

After being calm enough I wrote my name on the table the same as before, although the writing was not visible, but I hope they can understand it as well as before, although I am sad because I have to part with my family, I hope they can understand it, but there is no point in crying over my death because this is my destiny, there is only one thing I have to do which is leave everything to these Gods.

I gave a small nod with a smile as the Goddess Salia mentioned my name, as well as the God and God Grandfather Ryuu who suddenly praised my name despite the slight embarrassment of hearing others praise my name, but I like to hear that because very rarely do people praise me, most of them just look at my shortcomings and make fun of me for those shortcomings.
