[By the way, I forgot to mention. Your full body armor is as useful as scrap metal since generating that sword took a lot of chaos energy.] The system said in a casual tone.
I heard it loud and clear but the sense of looming danger prevented me from responding.
'Damn you cursed system.' was all I could think.
|Mission Objective:

'So, a dragon for the first fight.'
My hands tensed and I look at the sword with a determined look saying, "X-Caliber, we live together and die together, just like in the past."
By the time I finished speaking the door was almost half open while two balls of fire looking into my direction.
Inside the entrance, every thing was dark and as I could see a huge figure was present in the dark.
Suddenly, the big balls of fires moved towards the towards the door.
'Why the hell do I keep having the feeling of familiarity?'
'Have I seen the fallen dragon?'
Slowly the balls of fire moved towards the opening and I took a stance with the sword at the front.
The thumping sound got closer and closer echoing through the hall.
When the gates were almost completely open, the red eyes seemed to have become even bigger and eventually, a ferocious looking dragon head popped out of the darkness.
I was shocked to the point where I almost coughed up blood and died.
Almost Vantablack scales. A crimson mark below the left eye. A blue ring on the right horn.
- Gave it a weird but intimidating look but that wasn't what shocked me.
Why was I shocked?
Because this was way too familiar.
"Ruanna?"I subconsciously said.
The dragon seemed to be puzzled. Its eyes squinted and looked at me weirdly.
"Puny human, dares to call my name?"
I was taken aback. It seems it really is you.
"You c*nt. You dare forget this daddy. My name isn't Alan if I don't pull out your tendons after skinning you. " I cursed to the top of my lungs.
Meanwhile, notifications rang out in my mind.
[You have cursed.]
|All attributes reduced by 1 for 1 hour.|
[You have cursed twice.]
|All attributes reduced by 2 for 1 hour.|
"You... you are Alan?"
Ruanna looked at me. Then looked at the sword in my hands. It shivered and back up a little into the darkness.
"It really is you. You came to meet me... here?"
"You wish. A motherfu*king system brought me here. It thinks it's some kind of omnipotent being. Too much full of itself."
[You have cursed.]
|All attributes reduced by 3 for 1 hour.|
"Your mouth still stinks of curses, monkey born. What System is it though? Your Personal System?" Ruanna looked at me suspiciously.
"I don't really know but I have to fight you, run away or subdue you"
"You're supposed to fight me? Cheh... I could wipe the floor with your level 0. Shoo.. stupid monkey born. You aren't strong anymore."
A single laugh was heard.
I inwardly cursed the system unceasingly thus, 7 of my attributes were deducted for 'unintentional' cursing.
Then I had an idea.
'System, does petting count as subduing?'
It didn't respond.
"What are you spacing out for, monkey born?"
"Wait up, stinky lizard. I am thinking something."
'You can hear my curses but can't hear my words. You stink of a system.'
|The user must pet the head.|
'Okay. I can fool this stupid lizard even in my dreams.' heh
I curled up my lips as it couldn't see my expression with the armor on and said.
"See. I just have two options. Either I scare you to run away. Or, you let me touch your head."
Ruanna frowned.
"Scare me? You're dreaming boy."
"If I was. You'd really be scared."
I said mockingly.
"*cough* Past was in the past. Okay, for our past friendship I will let you touch my head but no other soul must find out about what happened in the past."
"Hypocrite."I laughed.
"Okay, for our past friendship I'll let bygones be bygones."
'There's no way you'd let me touch if you knew what it meant but that's okay because you won't ever.'
My smile almost burst out of the armor.
'See, I said level S missions were nothing but shit to me.'
|Hypocrite|
'What do you know mother fu*ker?
[You have cursed.]
|All attributes reduced by 8 for 1 hour.|
I ignored the notification.
"Eh, why don't you come out instead of poking out your head."
"Mind your own business. Touch my head and begone. I am not wearing my armor right now."
'Why is it acting weirdly? Whatever, it's none of my business.'
I walked towards Ruanna and jumped on its head. I was about to touch the head when.
[You must chant ' You belong to me now. Lower your head to comply' while touching the dragon's head.]
'The hell. Another restriction?'
It didn't reply.
'Whatever.'
I reached with palms and touched the spot between the eyes.
"You belong to me now. Lower your head to comply."
I expected to be thrown off, cursed at and even bitten to death. The thing that happened was unexpected though.
"You wish."
Following that, a blush sort of appeared on its face which looked completely strange and it subconsciously lowered its head.
|Mission objective completed:
Subdue the fallen dragon- Insane|
|Time taken: 3 minutes 12 seconds|
|World rating: Hardcore|
|Personal system will go online in 2 weeks.|
'Hardcore? You're making a p*rn or what? Even the world rating is corrupted.'
Suddenly I fell down. I felt a lot weaker and dizzy.
I shook my head and looked at the front while patting my butt.
"The hell are you doing, lizard? Lizard? Lizard?"
Achnalogio seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"System what is going on? Where did the dragon go?"
[The Fallen Godbeast Ruanna, Grandchild of the Dragon God has been subdued by the host and confined by the system]
[The host may converse after complete integration of the system.]
[The host's soul is injured due to chaos stress while subduing the Godbeast.]
[The host will undergo sleep for consecutive 3 weeks to recover.]
I almost couldn't hear anything after the first sentence. I didn't even notice that it called me 'host' instead of 'you'. It shocked me too much.
'I kidnapped a god's grandchild?'
'Ruanna said it's grandfather was very loving but ...'
I gradually lost consciousness while the system announced.
[Now, the host's soul shall return to the body.]
