The Dragon Lord System
S1 - Panic Zara X Search

...***top Floor / POV Zara***...

Zara was sleeping, resting on the top floor of the dungeon.

Oh, how I miss Mr. Calliga.

I miss meeting him so much.

Let alone looking at his handsome and resolute face, kyaaaaaa! (Zara's face flushed red as she imagined Mr. Calliga's face.)

"How graceful and handsome is Mr. Calliga!"

By the way, on this floor I'm standing guard.

And there were still many beautiful and quite a lot of magic stones.

I decided to eat one of them.

I said out loud, "It's boring! There are no enemies for me to practice. Just guarding Mr. Calliga's dungeon."

"Huaaa.." I said lazily.

Then, I went back to sleep lounging on the floor because there was no other activity here.

Suddenly, there was a very loud explosion and a great earthquake.

Zara was swayed by the tremor.

"What the hell is going on here? Is there an enemy?" Zara screamed for help, panic loomed.

However, the structure of this floor was so strong that it did not collapse.

Zara was amazed at Mr. Calliga's ability to create a strong and sturdy dungeon.

Zara could sense that this earthquake was coming from Mr. Calliga's energy.

Suddenly, Zara realized that she had just said something taboo and was lazing around before.

Fear hit Zara. Sweat was pouring and his body was trembling.

"Did Mr Calliga know that I was saying such a taboo and was lazing around?"

"Is he angry because of my disrespectful attitude?"

"Was the earthquake and the great explosion a warning from Mr Calliga?"

Zara's heart skipped a beat, panic struck, and fear enveloped her entire body.

"Yes, surely Mr. Calliga knows everything!"

Without hesitation, Zara knelt on the floor respectfully, while enduring her near-lethal fear.

He said in a resolute respectful tone, "Master Calliga! Forgive my impoliteness and gratitude. Forgive me, this despicable servant, Mr. Calliga! I promise to be a better servant to you!" Zara sweated, but still maintained her kneeling position respectfully on the floor.

Although there was no Mr. Calliga there, Zara felt as if Mr. Calliga was looking at her from a distance, watching her grandly.

Zara knew that in the presence of the great master, the Servant had to kneel respectfully.

A few seconds later, the sound of the explosion and the tremor subsided and finally stopped.

After the earthquake stopped, Zara cried as she thanked Mr. Calliga for forgiving her, this despicable servant.

Inwardly, Zara pondered how resolute and loving Mr. Calliga was.

He is so wise and knows everything. Zara further praised Mr. Calliga.

"KYAAAA, I love you more and more. My lord!" Zara.

...***Back to POV MC***...

I flew towards the huge hole formed as a result of my [Terra Blast] magic.

Well, guess about 10 meters in diameter huh?

And its depth is more than 100 meters.

Unknowingly, I started flapping my new wings.

So cool! It was the first time I had wings and flew as a dragon.

"Hahaha, do I have to get out of my house later?"

Well, maybe not.

I don't want to get the attention of many people, especially the stupid dragon that once hurt me.

"But, do I have to take revenge on that stupid dragon?"

Even though I had evolved, I still felt nervous and afraid against the strange monsters.

Ah, maybe I better be lazy and I'm still scared hehe.

Fly me at high speed.

Shusssh...

Finally, I reached the cave and entered the pool of water connected to the sea in the cave.

I dived and swam in the darkness, towards the strange building that was there.

For some reason, I could see clearly in this pitch-black darkness, unlike before.

Yep, this must be the effect of increasing evolution.

"That's amazing!"

As I looked around the old building while swimming in the water, I did not find any creatures guarding it.

But I saw a large entrance in the distance, and I swam towards the big door.

When I arrived at that big door, there was a gap of howls.

Without thinking much, I headed straight for the crack and entered the old building.

But, when I entered the gap, I saw that water did not enter the building.

"eeh? Why does water not come in? It's so weird"

Maybe because this strange world has such magic.

It's hard-to-understand.

Focus up!

He looked at the contents of this old building.

Many debris.

I wonder, what kind of creatures live here? Maybe monsters? Or human...?

My heart is pounding faster.

If there are creatures here, I hope they are friends.

After all, I am a dragon.

But there was no sound or sign of life at all in this building.

Only silence approached.

I'm trying to communicate who knows if someone's here out loud,

"GRRRRROOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!"

"Groooooooaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr..."

"GRROOOAR...*

"Groafr.."

There was no reaction or sound whatsoever, only my own voice was heard.

While remaining vigilant, I started walking towards the pile of rubble.

" What is this place?, why should it be in this strange place?"

I kept looking at the rubble and realized that this place was a temple.

Everywhere there are carvings of ancient letters that I cannot understand.

But when I looked up, I saw pictures.

That picture...

"What exactly is that thing?"

There's a picture of a strange creature up there.

If we change the perspective, maybe it's a giant creature, because there are many images of small humans around.

It looks like the humans are gathering towards the giant creature.

Hmm, and there was a human leader heading towards that monster.

If observed carefully, his hand was raised facing the giant creature.

Did the man make a sacrifice to a giant creature?

If I look more carefully, it turns out that in the hands of humans who give offerings there...

Heads.

...

How horrible!

So humans consider these creatures as gods?

And they offered the heads of the living as sacrifices?

Humans are disgusting.

While looking back at the rubble, there was an inscription plate there with many ancient letters.

If I look closely, there is a picture of a dragon that uses its power and is seen attacking many humans.

"Hmm, have humans perished in this world because of those two strange creatures and the dragon?"

When looking at the other stone slabs, they also contained images of monsters and mysterious characters carved inside.

Maybe this is the 'picture book' that people made in ancient times?

Maybe they did not have the technology to make paper at that time.

So, they carved it into the rock to spread knowledge.

"Berr....."

My stomach sounds like a starving orchestra at a concert!

Grroaa...

Brrr...

It seems that there are many stone inscriptions around here... It looks delicious, saliva dripping in my mouth.

It seemed like this stone inscription was made from a fine quality stone! My feeling never misses.

I raised the stone stele with my hand and brought it closer to my nose.

Sniffs... Sniff. (inhaling).

Yep, not wrong. This is a premium stone, hehehe...

Because I often eat rocks and soil, I have the ability to distinguish good or not.

You could say I am now a dragon chef, HAHA!

But I could not help my hunger when I saw this premium stone inscription.

"GOOD EATING!"

Bite down...

Nyams... Nyams...

Krunches.... Krunch...

Swallow...

Krunch...

It tastes so delicious! Like a blend of various delicious flavors combined into one.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from the system.

...[.DING DONG!]...

...[.CONGRATULATIONS, HOST CALLIGA, THANKS TO YOUR UNIQUE SKILL, [DEVOURER], HOST CAN +?]...

I'm confusing the meaning of "HOST CAN +?" in the system notification. Ah, this system is weird.

And all of a sudden, my head was hot for a moment.

A tremendous amount of knowledge and information flowed into me as a result of eating the stone inscription earlier.
