The Dragon Lord System
DLS - 137

I looked at Lithos with an angry expression, "But still, all of this happened because of his foolish deeds. Our mission is disrupted and many humans are sure to be suspicious of us especially to him, thanks to his shallow and stupid actions!" I said with anger still felt.

Sebas continued to sob beside me after I scolded him with harsh words.

I still felt angry and had no intention of giving him any sympathy.

However, Lithos, who was standing before me in the form of a human wearing a robe like a mysterious magic caster, looked at me seriously and folded his arms at me.

He tried to defend Sebas, leaving me even more confused.

Lithos spoke, "My friend, I have no intention of defending that young man, but why are you so angry with him? Did you know that he was actually trying to protect your good name and was very respectful and loving to you?, which is why he defended you desperately."

"If I were you, I might even join him to punish the lowly creatures who dare to insult me." Lithos said as he glanced at Sebas.

Despite frequent fights with Sebas, it seemed Lithos felt sorry for him this time.

Lithos continued back with an astonished expression, "after all you are too kind to those lowly beings who insult and belittle you, especially the pointy sikupung (elf). In fact, you bowed your head to her. Very strange, once again I was astonished by a lizard like you. Lizards usually always keep their honor with an arrogant, angry, and arrogant attitude bowing their heads to lowly creatures. However, you are different from lizards in general."

I listened to Lithos' words with a heavy heart.

Am I really too kind to humans and elves? Was this behavior really unusual among the other dragons?

These questions made me reflect, especially since for almost three years since I reincarnated into a dragon, I have not met my fellow race.

I really don't know how the other dragons behave.

My mind kept spinning, trying to find answers to these questions.

Hmm, actually if you recall, when I just hatched as a weak baby dragon that made my home which is now a dungeon, I once saw a dragon flying in the sky at that time.

But unfortunately, the dragon even attacked me with its incredible stupidity!

I was badly injured at the time, but I was still very weak.

Should I look for that dragon that had dared attack me long ago?

It seems like it is an interesting idea, one day I will reply to him accordingly.

Not only that, When I hatched into a baby dragon, I stranded myself on a remote island surrounded by a vast ocean.

Until now, I was still confused and did not know why I was suddenly inside an egg and then reincarnated into a dragon.

Right now, a question appeared in my mind that had never been thought of before.

Do I have dragon birth parents? Dragon mother? Dragon father? Where are the two of them now?

I haven't seen any sign of them since I hatched myself on a remote island.

Dragons are certainly reptiles and certainly lay many eggs, and that means I should have other dragon siblings, not just my eggs stranded on a remote island.

Is it possible that they dumped me when I hadn't hatched because they knew that I was a human reincarnated into the body of their dragon child?

But it seems impossible.

The mystery of my origin as a dragon continues to tickle my mind.

Those questions kept spinning in my mind, and I grew more and more curious about my reborn dragon origin.

Why am I stranded alone on a deserted island?

Will I ever meet my real parents in this world?

I don't know, this mystery will only be revealed someday.

Lithos mentions that his dragon in general is an arrogant and angry creature. I thought about it for a moment, and actually, it makes sense.

However, I am very different from the dragons that Lithos may have encountered.

I do not have an arrogant or angry nature like dragons in general.

Yes, of course it is different!

I'm just a human trapped in this stupid dragon's body and every day I have to play the role of a grueling "dragon" ruler so that all the inhabitants of my dungeon house do not suspect me and so that they are disinclined to me.

I am very different from dragons in general, and if I tell Lithos that I am actually a human being trapped in this dragon body, what will happen?

If I tell the truth, there are three possible reactions from Lithos: mistrust, surprise and possible hatred.

I don't know how he'll respond, and I'm afraid that he might hate me if he finds out I'm a human reincarnated into a dragon.

Lithos thought I was an ancient being who had existed for thousands of years at the same level as him, while in reality, it was, I am just an ordinary human being who has lived for almost three years in this world filled with fantasies and magical creatures.

Maybe I'm lucky because of the evolution I've been through for the past three years.

I grew and became strong quickly, so that I could stand here with the strength that I currently have.

I have reached the 4.5th stage of evolution, and I wonder if this level is the level of an ancient being that has existed for thousands of years, like Lithos?

I don't know, unfortunately I can only see the names of others without being able to see their full status.

But I can see the full status of my dungeon dwellers, the NPCs that are here. This made me wonder, would someday if I were to encounter an ancient being for the lifetime of Lithos, they would also think that I was a fellow ancient being?

Mysteries about my identity and my evolution continue to haunt me, but one thing is certain, I must remain cautious and adapt to this world in order to survive.

Well then, I've decided, I'd better not tell Lithos.

The decision not to tell Lithos about my origin as a human reincarnator was a decision I made carefully.

He is my only friend in the world, and our relationship has become very close. We chatted together often, and he always spoke honestly and casually, with no formalities that made me feel comfortable in my dungeon house.

This is a clear difference when compared to my dungeon dwellers who are NPCs of my creation.

They always spoke formally and rigidly to me, not daring to speak casually.

They saw me as a creator god, and their respect and admiration for me made them too afraid to be freer.

Even though I had already tried to get them to talk more casually, they remained reluctant and did not dare to do so.

Life in my dungeon, though stiff due to the formalities of my dungeon dwellers, had become a part of me that I had begun to accept.

Especially thanks to the presence of Lithos who was like a close friend with no restrictions on formality, I felt comfortable.

Right now, Lithos is the only person who can talk to me without any formality, and that's what keeps me unsaturated in my house, because I have friends to talk to.

I don't want to lose my only friend in the world, by revealing a big secret about myself.

As I pondered about my past as a human being, those feelings arose, and I asked myself, do I miss my human life?

However, as time went on, I realized that I did not want to go back to being human.

Life as a dragon that was a monster gave me freedom and strength that I had never felt before.

I don't want to feel bound by my appalling past.

Right now, I feel comfortable and happy with my life as a dragon.

The memory of my past as a human being haunted by bitterness and slavery is something I don't want to remember.

I am no longer a human named, Stevan Harlow, a weak and helpless human who is a slave.

but now I am Calliga, a dragon who has the power and rules a dungeon that my subordinates revere as gods.

Lithos had raised many questions that surrounded my mind, and I felt dizzy just trying to understand it.

All of this feels very complicated and difficult to understand.

I decided not to go too deep into those questions right now.

To be sure, I want to focus on my life as a powerful dragon and the lord of a respected dungeon, and leave my dark past behind.

I fell silent in deep daydreams, until Lithos slapped my shoulder gently with a worried expression.

His voice woke me up from my long daydream.

"Are you okay, my friend?" lithos said with a worried tone in his voice.

I gasped from my deep contemplation as Lithos asked me.
