The Dragon Lord System
S3 - Tired...

...***MC POV*** ...

I was confused and a little distracted by everything that had happened before.

I saw Karina, who so dramatically cried and prostrated to me, creating a complete confusion in my mind.

No, it's not really just that. I just woke up from my sleep, and suddenly there were strange dramas like this that I had to face.

I can't deny that the situation with Karina is indeed a bit complicated. Especially when I just found out that he actually lied to me about the intruder who managed to escape.

I'm not one to worry too much about such a thing, but her overreaction left me a little confused.

Right now, Karina came out of my room with Vael accompanying her. While I'm still trying to understand what just happened.

While I was still lying on my giant bed, I decided to call Karina, hoping to calm her heart that seemed to be being shaken.

"let's get you" I told him.

However, it seems that he did not respond to my call. I wanted to give her support and tell her that I was not angry, but it seemed that my efforts were in vain.

As soon as I got up from the bed, my steps were stopped suddenly by the unexpected actions of Vael and Luna.

They seemed to be guarding Karina like a palace gatekeeper, blocking me by standing in my way.

Surprisingly, the two of them both apologized simultaneously to Karina. I was almost shocked by this incident.

"Huh? What's going on?" batinanku.

I didn't actually feel angry at Karina, so why did the two of them seem to protect her firmly?

They stood there, looking firm and unmoved, like soldiers protecting a queen.

While I was just standing with a confused expression on the face. Suddenly, I felt a slight pressure on my chest, like a whimper wanting to appear.

Vael and Luna were still on their knees begging for her brother's forgiveness and blocking my path, as if I wanted to hurt Karina.

I don't know what the two of them had in mind, but it seems like they were very serious about this apology.

Finally, with a slight sigh, I nodded while blurting out the sentence they wanted to hear.

"i'm me.maa.fkannu karina" I said with a little dramatic, staring at him as a sign of the solution of this "problem.

When the words of apology came out of my mouth, it felt like it was an awkward dance on my tongue.

I said it in a stammer, like someone who had just learned to speak. No one could have foreseen that forgiveness could be so complicated and unexpected.

But what happened then really made me feel surprised.

Karina raised her head with her eyes puffy with tears. I don't know what caused her deep cries, but she thanked me.

I want to give you support, but thank you? Wh-wh-what for?

Ah, all this is so abstract and complicated, I thought to myself. And the three of them were still looking at me with gazes that seemed to want to read my mind.

Especially the demonic gaze from Karina with tears streaming down her face, making me feel like I had to untangle my train of thought so as not to be read like that.

When I told them that I was going out of my room, my plan seemed to be delayed by the actions of the two of them.

Moreover, as Karina slowly stood up from her prostrate position and left my room, followed by Vael who asked me for permission to accompany her.

I could only nod confusedly to Vael, not knowing what they were planning.

Though I wanted to get out of my room, why did they come out now?

And now in my room only I and Luna are left.

But the mood felt far from usual. Luna, who was usually always chatty and warm, was now sitting on her knees with a silent look towards me.

The drastic change in their behavior made me wonder.

Do they know how stupid I am?

Oh, no. My hope is that they don't know about my ignorance.

But I feel increasingly squeezed by this situation. It seems like I have to show a cool attitude and avoid exposure to this insolvency.

I don't want my stupid impression to get attached to me. However, taking a stance like this would definitely be exhausting.

I decided that from now on, I would give orders to them to no longer accompany me or take turns keeping in my room.

I need privacy and time to reflect and rest my mind. Being such a great puppet in my cipher for them must have consumed my energy.

I approached Luna who was still kneeling before me.

His gaze was flat, expressionless, seemingly harboring many mysteries. I was curious about this drastic change. In the past, he was always cheerful and full of spirit.

What the hell happened to him? Is there anything that makes him angry or disappointed in me?

However, despite the questions raging in my mind, I felt there was an awkwardness in the air as we looked at each other.

Usually, Luna was the first to bring a carefree and cheerful atmosphere, and she always chatted non-stop.

However, this time, he just kept quiet and our gazes crossed each other.

Ah very awkward...

"Luna, come here" I said softly, breaking the silence that gripped my room.

Without hesitation, Luna jumped onto my huge dragon body and hugged me tightly. It felt relieved to see that he was still the way he used to be, even though things seemed to change.

"Papa.." whispered between the cries, and I felt warm as he hugged me.

In an instant, I felt her gentle touch. After a while, I returned his embrace tightly, letting him spill all emotions.

However, her cries suddenly echoed in the room, breaking the gripping silence.

I stroked his shoulders and head gently, trying to give him a little comfort in difficult moments like this.

Luna explains that her pet named Orthros had died from an intruder attack.

His face reflected a deep sense of sadness and regret. He told me how angry he was at first, but then realized that he himself was guilty of disobeying my warning.

He said that I had predicted a possible attack on this dungeon and its pets, but he claimed to have paid no heed to it.

He regretted and said that if he only listened and followed my words, Orthros would not die.

I listened to her words seriously, looking at Luna's thoughtful-looking face.

In my heart, I was confused by Luna's words. Predicting the future? I just can't predict when I'm going to fart, let alone predict the future.

However, the confusion came to a halt as Luna took out a red-colored magic stone gem from her dimension storage space.

He also took out a large egg lying on the floor of my room, then quickly gave it to me.

I looked at the two things in wonder. Luna explained that the big egg was a gift for me. While the red magic stone gem is the rest of the magic stone gem that used to be used on animals.

He spoke seriously, begging me to use my divine awakening magic to revive his pet.

I feel like I'm stuck in a weird fantasy story.

Luna confidently said that I could revive her pet golem using my divine awakening magic.

Who would have thought, I was suddenly faced with this kind of responsibility. I, who had just felt strange because I was branded as having the ability to foresee the future by luna, now had to become a "god" with resurrection magic.

The seriousness of the situation was interrupted the moment I touched the large egg Luna gave me.

Suddenly, a crack sounded from within the egg, and before I knew it, a mysterious being had already emerged from it.

It's not a bird like I thought, but more like... Ms.. ?

The creature's body came out from the broken egg with a glitter of light. I look carefully.

The bird-like creature measures about 30cm in size with a bright brown body that resembles a lion and a bird-like head.

However, my gaze was immediately replaced by panic as the creature began to eat the magic gemstone I had been holding.

I couldn't even resist saying the word "Griffin" unconsciously.

"Stop! That's not a snack!" murmured in my heart, but of course the creature did not hear me.

Then, all of a sudden, the creature's entire body dazzled my room with a blinding light.

I closed my eyes to protect my eyesight. When the light subsided, I saw the creature with a striking change.

A dazzling light and magical change occurred before my eyes. The creature, which had previously looked like a griffin, had now turned into a much more bizarre and attractive figure.

Three strange and unique heads emerged from his body, with faces mixed between wolves and birds.

Not only that, his body was enlarged to about 50cm, red-colored, with a tail that lit a small flame at the end.

While I was still stunned by this change, Luna also looked at it with her eyes wide open. And suddenly, he shouted with great excitement.

"Orthros???!!!!" he said, his voice filled with enthusiasm and excitement.

I was shocked myself to hear it. The orthros? Is that the name of this creature? I tried to remember, find out where I had heard that name before.

But before I could understand it, the creature quickly approached Luna with the sound of agile footsteps.

Without hesitation, he leapt forward and joyfully licked Luna's face, like a pet that was happy to see the owner.

Luna was obviously very pleased with the reaction of the creature . He looked so happy and smiled widely while playing around with the creature.

At that instant, Luna excitedly walked up to me and hugged me tightly. With twinkling eyes, he said, "Thank you Papa for reviving Orthros, ah not now the name griffin, is it not father?"

But now it's time to play a role.

I answered Luna with a simple nod, trying to maintain calm even though in my heart I still felt confused.

The griffin?

Since when do I have the power to revive a dead creature? This is really shocking news for me.

I was still digesting that information when I realized that the red magic stone gem I had previously grasped had disappeared which had been eaten by the strange creature.

However, there seems to be no need to worry, for in front of me stood a creature that used to be named Orthros, but has now turned into a more imposing and frightening form, the griffin.

I observed the creature playing with luna. Luna looked at me with a proud look, it seemed like she truly believed that it was me who had revived her pet.

In my heart, I felt a mixture of shock and obligation. How did all this happen? Did I really raise him?

Just then, the griffin suddenly ran out of my room quickly.

Luna who was still looking at me with a look of admiration, was slowly distracted by the excitement of her new pet. Luna quickly caught up with him, leaving my room.

Before leaving, Luna knelt before me respectfully and said, "Thank you papa."

Then he stood up and immediately chased after his new pet.

"wait for me, griffin!" luna shouted as she ran out of my room.

I was finally alone in my room. Feeling alone can also be something to look forward to.

Every day of my life is full of strange events, especially since I pretend to be a great leader for my children.

However, in this moment of silence, I realized that I had not checked my status for a long time.

I wondered if I had leveled up again.

Why don't I just check?

"STATUS," I said rather excitedly.

Slowly, a holographic panel appeared before me, displaying important data about me.
