The Dragon Lord System
S1 - Acting as a Great Dragon

After deciding to leave, I turned around trying to leave the already cured money beetle behind.

Hm....

"Wait a minute!"

I heard a voice behind me.

I feel like this might just be a wild imagination as a dragon, right?

The beetle cannot speak.

Or maybe in this strange world?

Haha.

Who would have thought that the first person to speak to me in this world as a dragon was an insect?

Hmm, just forget about my weird imagination.

What pissed me off was the sound of insects not stopping to speak in my mind.

It felt like there was a DJ talking non-stop in my ear.

Maybe I should give him a nickname, "DJ Beetle."

Yeah, it's weird, but it's not very entertaining in the middle of my house's silence.

Do I have to continue my renovation on this 1st floor?

"Aargh, but the strange beetle still looks at me!"

It feels awkward to be seen constantly, bruhh...

Ah, I don't think I want to continue my renovation.

I'd better continue digging and eating only the gemstones.

At least, no one bothers there.

"Yes! Bye, weird beetle!"

I walked slowly downstairs.

"Wait, waituu! The Great Dragon Lord!" the beetle's cry is getting louder.

Stop following me!

"Don't leave me, Great Dragon Master. Please, listen to me!" exclaim the beetle.

I can't take it anymore.

What's with this weird beetle?

I wondered how I could talk to him.

Did I unconsciously use my voice?

Hahaha, but I'm not a human being, if I speak it must come out the voice "Graaaauurrrr!" or "Gyaaaaaaa!"

"How could I possibly speak to this strange beetle?"

Now I feel like I'm being chased by that beetle.

Can't he understand that I want a little time to myself?

Ah, but what power, maybe I should deal with this "DJ Beetle" in my house.

"Because I used a thought transmission to talk to you, Great Dragon Lord," the beetle replied in a respectful tone.

Oh, so so it is. That explains everything. I can't ignore it.

"Yes, like that, Great Dragon Lord," said the beetle.

"Naniy?! What does this mean?"

I can't ignore her voice when you talk to me!

"What'sthis? Your voice, does this mean that you are actually speaking in my mind?"

"Yes, Great Dragon Lord, can I say that," replied the beetle.

It's like telepathy.

"Dropy?" my many.

I speak in my heart, "Damn! If he could hear my thoughts, it must be that strange beetle thought I was a stupid dragon.

Well, it's time to act out to be a fearsome wise grand dragon like the ones in novels."

Hehe.

"Hmm, alright mortal, I want to listen to what you want to say?" my spoken.

So, what's that? Now we can talk. Even though you're still bothering me.

"Why are you following me?, mortal? You're fully healed, aren't you? Leave this place immediately!"

The strange beetle also saw me very frightened, shaking, and sweating.

He directly faced, bowed his head respectfully on the ground, and tried to kneel but could not due to his long body structure.

So he just lowered his two hind legs while bowing the big beetle's head.

"Eeh?, why is he kneeling?" muttering in my heart.

Bizarrely..

I also saw how strange his kneeling position was, ah very strange.

Well, at least he's quiet.

Bye beetle freak, time to go.

Just as I was about to turn around to go downstairs, suddenly the strange beetle called out to me with fear.

"Wait, Great Dragon Lord!" said the beetle while kneeling with a clear fear visible in his eyes.

I looked at the beetle in wonder. What does he want now?

He later apologized with guilt emanating from him.

"I'm sorry, Great Dragon Lord, if I made a mistake that made Master angry and upset me!"

"Didn't the great dragon lord make me your servant? "

"But because I was so presumptuous, the Dragon Lord became angry and drove me away," said the strange beetle regretfully.

Since when did I make her my servant? Why is he apologizing? I'm really confused.

"Isn't that why, Great Dragon Master, you gave me so many precious magic stones when I was about to die?"

"Really, the Great Dragon Lord is very kind! And please forgive my previous dodgyness, Great Dragon Lord," said the beetle respectfully while still laying with its big head.

I spoke inwardly, "This beetle is really talking what the hell?"

Hm...

"Magic stone? What'sthat?" I also slipped.

"Magic stone. Doesn't Mister remember? It was the stone that Master gave me earlier," the beetle explained.

I'm rattled.

"What does magic stone mean? Just an ordinary gemstone? Or is it crystal ore?"

"That is a magic stone, Lord great dragon," replied the strange beetle.

Aarghh, I want to ask you more about this magic stone.

If I claim not to know, surely this strange beetle will assume I am a stupid dragon! All right, time to play the role of a wise dragon.

I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the next question.

"So, mortal beings, I want to test your knowledge! Explain the magic stone briefly and clearly. I want to test your knowledge!" I said with a face that was firm, serious, scary, and authoritative.

"Sure, the Great Dragon Lord!" said the beetle, but I don't know why I saw the beetle become tense.

"Great Dragon Lord, magic stones are stones that contain magical power. This was the first time I felt a pure magic stone like this. You are so generous giving this priceless magic stone away. How rich the Great Dragon Lord is," said the beetle in a respectful voice, while still laying.

I could even hear a cry coming from him.

Ah, forget it.

I'm talking in my heart, "Hmm, so are you?"

I never realized it.

Well, it did take a lot of effort to bring the gem here from below.

That's my delicious food.

"Great Dragon Lord, thanks to that magic stone earlier, not only did I recover, but I also evolved into a higher species. That's why I can talk to you like this!" exclaimed the beetle with a bowed respect to me.

I observed the beetle speaking respectfully, while still laying down before me.

I spoke in my heart, "By the way, why does the strange beetle always kneel before me with sparkling eyes? Seeing insect bodies is disgusting, bruh."

Unknowingly, I spoke in my mind with my acting mode.

"Hmm, what a trouble for this lowly creature who is selfless and always bothers me! I'd better get rid of him fast. Looks like I'll have to 'kill' the disrespectful creature after this. Of course, with my fire breath."

"Great Dragon Master, forgive my insolence!" the beetle-leech while kneeling trembled before me.

"Did?"

It seems like I was unknowingly communicating telepathically with him.

He didn't run away?

He seems really scared.

"Ah, this is really troublesome" I said inwardly.
