Chapter 14: Caden's Will

I slowly opened my eyes and a blinding light greeted me. Its surprisingly bright today, did the Dragon change the lighting in the room?

I tried to cover my eyes with my hand but my arms feel heavy and I can't seem to lift it so I waited. I waited until my eyes adjusted from the bright light.

I was surprised with the sight that greeted me.

I was lying on a hard ground, and around me are tall trees, their leaves were dancing as the wind directed it, The sun is peeking every time the leaves move. I looked at the leaves, trees, grass and flowers that are around me.

My heart was beating fast, I can't believe what I'm seeing.

I tried my best to sit up despite my sore body, which is so foreign to me. I'm actually feeling something that I have not felt for a long time. I touched the ground, the rocks, the grass and even the mushrooms that are close to where I sat.

"Ha ha ha" I laughed, I felt elated and happy. I got out of the seal!! After a very long time!

"Hahahahahaha" I cannot help myself from laughing out loud, if anybody saw me, they might think I'm crazy. I checked my hand and my body, I even pinched myself to check if it was real.

As I look around I saw a paper which is rolled beside me like castle message. I took it on my hand a transparent message popped out

[Caden's Last will

To my Junior,

if you are reading this that means you have successfully freed the White Dragon, I thank you for that. That also mean you are from earth just like me, who got lost in this world. You might be curious about a lot of things and I will try my best to explain everything in this last will.

I am a normal gym instructor in earth 25 years ago, but then something happened, I do not know what but it seems like I had been reincarnated in this unknown world. I decided to forget about earth and live my life as Caden, with my parents in this world, but unlike earth, this world is a dangerous place. My parents died due to a berserk Dragon that happened to be near out village. It burned everything and everyone, aside from me. I was able to survive the attack by hiding in a cave in the heart of the forest.

I hid in that cave, afraid of the other monsters that roam the forest, I starved and nearly died. I was hopeless, but then a group of people came and hid in the cave one night, they were mercenaries. One of the mercenaries found me and helped me. They became my second family, I trained with them and went on missions with them.

One day, while we were in a mission, we found a boy in the forest. He was so skinny he looked like a corpse, I remember how it felt to be that devastated and hopeless so I went to the boy and helped him just like how my 2nd family helped me.

When the boy woke up, and regained some strength he started to tell me about who he was and where he came from, and to my surprise, he was a transmigrator. He came from earth just like I did but he came here with his original body. He said his name was William Shnyder, he's just a 15 years old boy who suddenly got transported in this world.

I helped William adjust to the new world and taught him the basic needs to survive in this world. William is a very talented boy, He's more like a genius, he managed to master the art of spear in just a year and learned the fundamentals of magic. I asked William once how he did it, That's when he told me about the system.

years went by and we became a duo, for some reason, I also managed to have access with the system so I leveled up and learn skills. Time went by just like that, then one day, during our mission, two Dragons talked to us.

They told us that they are adopting talented human beings to be their disciple. I was hesitant at first due to my bad experience with the Dragons so I looked at William's reaction and for the first time I saw rage in his eyes. I do not know what experience he had with the Dragons but he seem angry. But despite that he still accepted the invitation. I was puzzled by his actions but he just told me to do as he does, so I accepted as well.

We trained under the Dragons, I was under the white Dragon while William was under the black Dragon who was said to be the king of Dragons, I was even jealous then but I let it slide, William is more talented than me so learning from the king is probably more suitable for him.

The White Dragon and I got along faster than I thought, he was a really innocent Dragon but he was also strict when it comes to lectures.

One night William told me to meet him outside the Dragon territory. We met at a village that has been protected by the Dragons, inside a Dark bar. There are a lot of people aside from us. The moment William stood on the podium in front of the group he started talking about something that surprised me. They were planning to kill all the Dragons. The people inside the Bar were all disciples of dragons. They were planning a conspiracy against the Dragons, I do not understand what their reason are but I knew from that point on that I need to save my master.

They did not start the plan immediately, so it gave me time to prepare. I also met some of the Dragon disciples that are against the conspiracy and are reincarnators like me. That was also how I met Mirlene, the first and only woman I loved in both lifetimes. She was a reincarnator like us, but had a broken core. Even though she was like that, her Dragon master, which is a Blue Dragon, kept her and took care of her. I do not know until now what is the reason of the dragons for adopting humans but I know that they did not do it with ill intent that is why I cannot support William.

One day, a very disturbing news reached me. The king of Dragons died. I knew from that news that the plan to exterminate all dragons had begun, but unlike what I thought, the Dragons were not bothered by the news. Each Dragon clan started to elect representatives to fight for the battle royal in search for the new king. They sounded more excited and elated than worried.

My master, is one of the representatives, he was that exquisite and he was also the right hand man of the king when it was alive. Due to this, I started to commence my plan on saving my master, which was the Dragon seal. I was hoping that the person to open the seal was Mirlene so I gave my mana core as one of the rewards and also the contract I had with the white Dragon.

If you are not Mirlene, that is also okay, if you manage to defeat master, that means he also became your master during your time inside the seal. If this is the case, then let me explain what the Contract is.

Once the seal break, both of you will heal for the last time, and the contract will be formed. The contract is something that master made when I was still weak, it was a contract that bind my life to him. That means he will appear whenever your life is in danger or whenever you call him. If you read novels or manga back on earth it is something like a contract of a familiar, Master will be your familiar, but you cannot force him to come to you, unless your life is in danger. You can also communicate to master telepathically through this contract, but it is still up to him if he wants to reply.

I am leaving this will not just to inform you but to tell master why I did what I did. I know he might hate me, but I just want to protect him, and in Case William is still alive by this time, please stay away from him. keep master away from him. Thank you for fulfilling my last wish. ]

So that means there are other reincarnators and transmigrators?

I tried to concentrated and found a connection, like a string that connects me to the White Dragon. Then I concentrated some more and sent a message through the string

Have you read the will?

I waited for a couple of minutes but nothing came back, Is this Dragon giving me the cold shoulders?

Hey! after I free you, you just leave me in the middle of the forest?! What kind of gratitude is that?!!

No reply again

sigh*

I just stood up from where I'm sitting and dusted myself off.

I read it, check your spatial dimension

I felt my heart jumped out of my rib cage after receiving a reply from the other side of the string.

Is it because of the distance? maybe that's why he didn't reply immediately? Slow connection or something?

I shrugged off the reason and did as the Dragon said and saw that my spatial dimension was full.

This skill is something he taught me to develop, it was a spell at first but thanks to the system it was suddenly registered as a skill

I looked at what's inside and found various bags, I took one out and found that it was filled with golds and gems!

wow what a smart Dragon, he put it inside the bags first before putting it to my spatial dimension to save space. After silently praising the inse sitive Dragon, I put the bag bavk in my spatial dimension.

Hmm, how about my status? How has it been?
