He saw it clearly, outside their own home, a being said to be the strongest in every webnovel, games and manga he read, a giant monster with its black scales, pitch black claws, red blazing eyes, twisted horns like a ram and wings that if spread longer than the Tokyo tower. A Dragon.
'What the hell? How can a dragon come to what supposed to be a tutorial?' and then he realized the most obvious thing, Raven thought of himself as the biggest idiot ever.
'Why did I even interpret this disaster, like it was as if a game? If this is a game isn't a Dragon supposed to be a Boss?' he looked at his mother, she is pale as snow, fear had already taken her. She already froze in fright, she is trembling, she cannot move, it was as if her strength had already left her body.
'How can we get out from here? Can I even protect my mother?' He just stood there, not budging a muscle, but why does he still not feel it? He is still not afraid, he stood there analyzing how to get out, his brain is working wonders on ways to get out and survive. Then suddenly he felt a pair of cold hands touch his right hand.
"Son, please leave this place while I'll try to distract that thing" She already knew what that monster is, because she enjoys reading novels and watching anime, so she already resolved herself to die for the sake of her son. She knew that they both cannot escape, and she knew that even though she sacrifice herself, her son might still not survive.
'There is only a slight chance Raven could escape, but in that slight chance, I am willing to gamble it if my son could escape.' She tried her hardest to get up.
" Continue to live, find a lover if you can, you've been single your whole life." She smiled faintly as if it was her last goodbye and she strengthened her resolved.
"Mom what are you talking about? We both could escape, we just needed to.." In that moment the Dragon roared out a breath, and instantly within the ranged of the breath, nothing could be seen, it was as if nothing was there, except for the burnt mark on the ground.
They saw it, a breath that destroyed everything within its vicinity, humans, monster and the terrain all gone, only the sight of mass destruction remained.
" Raven run right now!" As she suddenly started running towards the dragon, but it didn't bat an eye.
' Sh*t she is serious.' as he thought his mother would sacrifice herself, he suddenly rush towards her and hit the back of her head. He couldn't care less about her resolve.
' This is the only way, we shouldn't provoke a being that transcends logic.' He stared at the Dragon and then he saw it, staring at his eyes. The Black Dragon is looking at him, he didn't know why but he felt it was irritated. Suddenly it roared and the ground shook. As it finished he look at him again.
' Huh? What's with that reaction?' he pondered about it, because the Dragon looked like it was surprise and then interest can be seen in its eyes.
[[ Human ]]
His eyes became wide open ' It talked, that f*ckin lizard talked.'
[[ Why do you not feel fear? ]]
He just blankly stared and thought again ' A dragon that possess intelligence.'
[[ Speak or Die ]]
' Sh*t I need to reply.' and then he spoke " I do not know."
[[ Interesting every being except the King is afraid of me, but you ]] it stop talking and got up and walk towards him.
[[ You are neither brave or stupid ]] He understood what the dragon meant, even the bravest people has something they fear and stupid people knows what fear is.
[[ Do you even know that I can kill you right here and now? ]]
Raven nodded in response, and suddenly got an idea to use this situation.
" I am well aware of that, but oh great Black Dragon may this low life ask you a question?"
The Dragon smirked at his words.
[[ Interesting, really interesting continue with your questions ]]
" What is this kind of situation?" He couldn't care less about his words, his only leverage in this situation is the Dragons interest towards him.
[[ This is a 'Tragedy' ]] He got disappointed in the Dragons' reply, even he knows that this is a tragedy, a calamity a disaster or anything that is similar to a pandemonium.
The Dragon look at the boy like he knew what he was thinking and then added.
[[ 'Tragedy' is the label of this scenario. You will soon know of it, if you ever survived long enough. ]] Raven now knows that to unravel the questions he had, survival is the key stone.
" Why is this happening?" Even so he continued his questions. This is the only opportunity he had. The Dragon smirked at his question.
[[ For entertainment purposes. ]]
Raven's face became distorted, as he came to a conclusion ' We are being watched.' The Dragon continued.
[[ This world has become corrupted, and the Gods you prayed so much became bored. This is just for our entertainment. ]]
After the words of the Dragon, he suddenly realized ' If this Dragon descended in this world, how about the others?'
" Are there others that came down here?"
The Dragon laugh and then answered.
[[ You will find out. But for now survived, that is my only advice, I want to watch you more. ]] Raven was flabbergasted at his words. And ask another.
" Is the reason that we have powers, is it because of this 'Tragedy'?"
[[ Yes, it is boring to watch a world where the subjects in it cannot defend themselves. ]] as sparks begun surrounding the Dragon and another voice was heard in the heavens. It's a coax voice, unlike the Dragons abyssal like voice.
[[ Apocalypse Dragon, don't interfere anymore, return to your dimension, you have destroyed a portion and killed beings in this place, this kind of actions will no longer be tolerated in the future. ]]
The Dragon looked up and heeded to the call, as it was leaving it said this words.
[[ Fearless Human, you will get the answers to your questions, just survived and train your power, you will know the reason why you have gained this abilities. ]]
As it spoke those words sparks flew everywhere and everything it hits disintegrated.
' We managed to live.' as Raven thought of this as he turned to his mother and carried her on his back and gazed at the sky, and then look forward with a determined look on his face.
' Those watching us for their entertainment, I will definitely destroy all of you.' He knew why we have to train and that is to fight against the gods.
He looked at the sky once again and saw.
[ 6 Days, 8 Hours, 43 Minutes Remaining ]
A countdown was being broadcast.
' Whatever that countdown is, it is not good.'
