I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Vol 1's. Chapter 2: Options

"Yes..then enough of our introductions, let's return to the main topic" said Lord Ryuu again began the conversation.

After being silent for a while to calm myself down, Lord Ryuu then went back to speaking in a formal voice and manner even the Godfather and Goddess Salia were like that as well, seeing the expressions and situations that feel very formal, I immediately took a serious attitude to listen to his words and this time I will listen clearly because maybe this is a very important thing, and I don't want to be scolded anymore.

"Without any explanation, you must have realized that you've turned it off?" continue with a little serious.

Of course I already knew that and I was no longer surprised to hear him talk about my death, I only gave a small nod when Lord Ryuu started talking about the matter to signal him that I understood what he was saying.

"Well shall I explain the reason why we called your soul here" said Lord Ryuu while looking at me.

" ... "

"There are two reasons why we call you, the first is because we are sorry and concerned about your suffering life, and the second is for the benefit of the world you will live in" said Lord Ryuu while continuing to look at me while saying the reason.

" ...? "

Nodding lightly while listening to the explanation of Lord Ryuu who said their reason when calling me to this place, I listened to each of his words carefully and seriously because indeed I had been waiting for his explanation because that was what I wanted to know from the beginning, slowly Lord Ryuu then said two reasons related to my summoning, which is what I wanted to know from the beginning, but even though he had said it I was still confused by what Lord Ryuu said, I could understand the first one but not the second one and instead my concentration became a little disturbed due to confusion with the statement of Lord Ryuu.

"You mean to be reincarnated into a different world, the process of reincarnation is necessary to maintain the age of that world, because you are from a world where there is no magic at all, thus if you are reincarnated into another world then your soul will carry a large amount of pure energy that is sufficient to sustain that world until the next reincarnation is done" Lord Ryuu explained.

"That enormous pure energy will be absorbed by the world system in the process of reincarnation in order to maintain the age of the world, that is what is meant for the benefit of the world, do you understand?" continue grandfather explaining the words of Lord Ryuu.

Staring at me with raised eyebrows wonder Lord Ryuu then gave a further explanation of his previous words although there are still some things that make me confused, but I can understand what reincarnation is because I've read it from fantasy books, and to clarify the words of Lord Ryuu before God's grandfather then spoke while rubbing his long beard staring at me, as a God grandfather would know that I was confused especially when I slightly tilted my head I really looked very confused even Goddess Salia seemed to smile at me and it made me quite embarrassed.

"In short, like a sender of assistance for disaster victims" said Dewi by giving a simple term.

"Ooo..em em.." I muttered while nodding.

"Of course if you choose to be reincarnated, if you don't want to we won't force you because you're the one who determined it" Lord Ryuu shrugged his shoulders.

"Then, please think carefully about what you will choose? do you want to be reincarnated and repeat your life in another world or not?" continued Lord Ryuu casually while asking.

Nodding a little after listening to the words of the Goddess Salia who gave a simple parable, I was helped enough to understand her current state, but I returned confused by the two choices that Lord Ryuu said to me, I said, I was afraid of the choice I would make, I had long given up on my life, but on the other hand I also wanted to return to feeling a better life.

All this time I just forced myself to smile and be happy no matter how hurtful the insults and treatment others gave me, really a very bad life, but I still love it because I have a family that loves me and always supports me.

Silently without raising my face, I was completely confused by the steps I had to take.

"Hows it? what will you choose?" ask Lord Ryuu to me.

Yosh...

Thinking hard to make my choice in the end I decided to repeat my life, I rounded my resolve and nodded in agreement after Lord Ryuu asked me again, it is not that I am not grateful for my life or hate my destiny which was born with flaws, but the only reason I accepted the offer to come back to life was because I wanted to live in a better and more honest way, for me my family would never be replaceable.

"Owhh, you are very sure" said Lord Ryuu.

"Em em.." I muttered as I nodded.

"Yahhh... Then I will give you some life choices that you want, you want to be born from what kind of family, race, and environment?" the Lord Ryuu asked again.

After I agreed to repeat my life Lord Ryuu then smiled while revealing some transparent mirror floating in front of me, instead of looking at the talking God, my gaze was turned to the transparent mirrors, my eyes were round in wonder and confusion after seeing that, all of them looked like holograms, in it there are various images of life, ranging from the rich to simple farmers there is even a picture of the life of the fantasy world.

"Oiii...! you're ignoring me again!" while frowning, God spoke with a sullen face because I did not listen to him.

Hehe... forgive me…!

"Yahhh, ordinary people are always like that when they see it, in short it is magic, the world you live in is a world full of this kind of thing, so you have to get used to it" said Lord Ryuu while sighing.

Owhhh... So is that magic? can I do that too? °-°

"Hahh, to save time I will not discuss magic, let's return to the main topic" Lord Ryuu told me.

Seeing the amazing thing in front of my eyes, I became so fascinated with all the mirrors that appeared before me that even I barely noticed the words of Lord Ryuu and made her nag back at me, he then explained to me that what I saw was a form of magic image of the world that I would live in later, but not wanting to waste much time Lord Ryuu did not explain more about the magic.

"Bright... What kind of family do you want? you are free to choose him, do you want to be the son of a king, a nobleman, a businessman, a village chief, or just a common civilian, please choose?" continued the Goddess gently while pointing one by one at the mirror.

Hmm... What do I choose?

If I choose the king's son maybe I will become the heir to the throne and become the leader of the kingdom, there's no way it's too much for me.

The nobleman? no no no nobleman it's troublesome, village chief?

Hm...

A businessman? I did work and understand a little about entrepreneurship, but not this is also a little troublesome.

Yosh...! then I'll choose ordinary civilians...

Showing one by one the life forms that would be a choice for me the Goddess Salia showed a picture of the lives of several people ranging from a king to ordinary villagers, and after thinking with all the possibilities that would happen, the Pope said, I then pointed towards the mirror with the image of ordinary citizens just like my previous life, I decided to repeat my life by being a mere citizen because I wanted to live in peace and quiet, I don't want to do anything troublesome that would disturb my calm.

" ... "

Hearing my decision of wanting to become an ordinary citizen Lord Ryuu looked surprised by raising his eyebrows and gazing in wonder at me, he also returned giving me the option of becoming a son of the king, he also returned to give me the choice to become a son of the king, but of course I did not want to and immediately shook my head because I had already made up my mind.

I'm not a man of wealth and power, I'm not interested in any of that because all I want is happiness, living in a simple environment and living in a peaceful atmosphere, not living in the world of royal politics that would certainly be very troublesome.

"Well then, let's move on, what race do you want to be born into? in this world there are also various races that inhabit every land and sea, such as human races, demons, animal humans, elves, mermaids, and so on" said Dewi Salia again pointed towards the mirrors.

Hm... mermaid? The elf? no, I do love plants, but... elves usually live away from the crowd, hm.... being a human animal seems to be fun, do I choose that alone huh?

Uh! wait a minute, if it is not wrong the human race the animal is usually often discriminated against other races, no no no it is creepy, okay I should choose humans only.

" ... "

"Ehhh...! you sure you don't want to be another race? animal humans, for example? I'm sure you'll fit a cat's or a fox's ear doesn't that look cute?" god Ryuu told me.

Back directing the conversation to our main topic the Goddess Salia pointed towards the mirrors in front of us with each changing mirror content, the mirrors that originally depicted the caste differences slowly turned into images of various races as mentioned by the Goddess.

Every race shown by the Goddess Salia is really very admirable and looks cute, I love reading fantasy stories full of different types of life and adventure, she said, but what I'm seeing right now looks more amazing than just imagining the illustrations in the book, the cute human race of animals with their adorable animal ears, so are the awesome mermaids and elves.

But, I chose the human race because I wanted to repeat my life as a non-human being, nor did I want to be discriminated against in my second life because I was so content to feel it, she said, but again Lord Ryuu commented with the choice I made and once again I immediately shook my head to respond because I would not change my already very unanimous decision.

"We cannot force Ryuu, he wants to be human or not. It is his decision, he who chooses and who determines his life" said God's grandfather giving advice to Lord Ryuu.

"Yahhh, I think it's true" said Lord Ryuu with a sigh.

Whether what the Lord Ryuu thought seemed desperate to make me born into the humanoid race, he repeatedly tried to shake my decision and switched to choosing the humanoid race, he said, but luckily, I rarely changed my decision and I would regard it as a mosquito, even though God's grandfather had advised him not to interfere with my choice, but Lord Ryuu's expression seemed dissatisfied with what I had decided to do when I was freed to choose what my life would be like, if it really wants to make me a humanoid race why not just send my soul into the humanoid fetus she wants? why let me choose and meet him face to face? This god is pretty annoying.

"Then let's just start the reincarnation process, but before that is there any message or plea you want to say?" god Ryuu told me.

Message yes...? hmm... there may not be, but I have one wish and how do I say it huh? I want to talk but my voice won't come out, hahh?

"Take this, write something and we will grant it" said Dewi Salia, giving me a piece of paper.

[I want my mother and sister to live happily filled with affection ]

Moments after God's grandfather advised him, Lord Ryuu then returned to acting a little formal by questioning the one wish I wanted to say before I was reincarnated, I honestly have many wishes I wanted to say, but I'm not good with these gods because they've given me the opportunity to choose my own life.

After thinking about it I then chose one of the most important requests among all the wishes I wanted to say, and now the problem is that I have not been able to speak and it is very confusing, I even had to think hard to get my voice out, but it was fortunate that Goddess Salia gave me a piece of paper and a pencil so I could express my wish, without linger, I then write one of my greatest desires that I have long tried to achieve, and after I finished writing it, I immediately handed my writing to the goddess Salia who made her smile thinly at me.

"You are indeed a good child" Dewi told me in her soft voice

It was nice to hear that, I also smiled back at the smile of the Goddess Salia, but suddenly my body was lifted up little by little enveloped by the glittering golden bright light, even my hands and body seemed to be starting to see through as if they were about to disappear into light.

"Goodbye and enjoy your new life, Ayame" said Lord Ryuu as he said farewell to me.

"Hohoho... take good care of your sweet child" said the grandfather with his typical boisterous laughter.

"Keep being a kind person and always smiling Aya" said Dewi Salia smiling as she hugged me.

"Thank you. I will definitely see you again, I promise "my words move lips without a sound.

Floating higher and further away from my seat earlier, the gods then stood up while saying farewell words to encourage me, no exception with the Goddess Salia who immediately hugged me before I actually flew high, after our embrace was released I then moved my lips to speak even though in fact I could not let out my voice, but then again I hope they can understand it because this is my promise to them.

"Yes we will look forward to it" said the Goddess, understanding what I said.

Thank you very much.

Tears began to flow past my cheeks when the hand of the Goddess I could no longer touch, I continued to thank them until my eyes began to blur, my body slowly faded away like a ghost and before long I finally couldn't see anything, everything went dark without a sound.

...*****...

Krakk!!!

"Gee...!"

I don't know how long I've been floating in the dark without being able to see or touch anything –at least that's how I feel– when I can move my body suddenly my hand touches something with a cracking sound which surprised me.

The sound of cracks continued to be heard until I could see a beam of light appearing before me with a shape like a wooden root.

The crack was right in front of me with a bright light that was quite dazzling, and I quickly moved my body trying to grab it.

"Bwaaaa!!! welcome to the new world!!!"
