Chapter Four - The Inheritance

"The King of Black Scales, The Demon Slayer, Enemy of the Abyss and Destroyer of Worlds, The Black Dragon of Destruction, Eradan Evilflame, was your father"

Locke opened his mouth in disbelief, the image of a huge winged lizard like that of a child cartoon appeared in his head, he almost laughed at the strangeness.

"A dragon? Was my father a f*cking Dragon? A giant fire-breathing lizard?" Locke replied in disbelief, "What does that make me then? Why don't I have scales and a tail if my dad was a goddamn dragon? I'm just a normal human!"

"Don't confuse a real Dragon with those fire-breathing mindless lizards, those little sh*ts don't even deserve the name they are called by!" the fairy replied with disdain "So about you, heh, how many normal humans, untrained in magic or figthing, could break a undead aura of fear alone? How many would have thought to face and fight the danger of a supernatural being instead of running away?"

Locke remembered the encounter with the first monster, he was overcome with fear in a moment and could not move, but when he escaped he naturally chose to fight, the thought of fleeing never crossed his mind.

"Originally, your awakening shouldn't have happened until you were twenty, the seal your father put on should have protected you until then, but that fucking curse dragged you into that rift, and the risk to your life excited your blood and woke me up... "

"Am I still cursed ???"

"Yes, although your mother has taken almost all the weight of your curse on herself, remnants of the curse still exist in your soul, to protect you your father used a special seal, in exchange for sealing your dragon's blood for twenty years, the seal would accumulate enough strength to destroy what was left of the curse. These remnants of the curse should not have been enough to cause your death, but your father was afraid that your nature would be discovered and that someone would "break the egg before it hatched", so he also used this glamor magic on you, so that you would go unnoticed, unfortunately he did not take into account the results that the effects of the curse would bring to your life "

Locke started to think about his own life, he seriously analyzed everything he remembered to find out everything that this so-called curse had affected, Locke had always been a kind person but he had almost zero friends, most of the people who knew him nurtured an unreasonable dislike for him, he never suffered bulling but people simply preferred to ignore his existence completely, and this took its toll when he was looking for jobs, girlfriends and friends. He was also extremely unlucky, small disasters were common in his life, things that they were supposed to work broke for no reason around him, alarms didn't ring on time, important emails were sent late, power went out while he was typing a school assignment, and much more crap like that. He smiled with disdain, never imagining that his bad luck was the work of a deceased demon

"Did you say this curse will pass when I turn twenty?" Locke smiled as he thought about his birthday next month.

"No, waking me up before the hour should be impossible, but you did it somehow, without breaking the seal you excited your power so much that it grew enough for me to wake up, not only that but you even woke up your father system, the seal is full and your curse can already be broken, but I recommend that you do it at home, because if you break the seal here it can attract unwanted attention ... "

"What are you? What is this inheritance that my father left for me? "

"I am a spirit, more precisely a dragon fairy spirit, but make no mistake, little boy, in front of you there is a very rare spirit born with the power of origin, although he had the title Dragon of destruction, your father was extremely skilled in creation magic, he created me using a fragment of the Origin, to be your guide and manager of his inheritance, I am unconditionally linked to you and I exist only for you, I have the power to create anything if I have enough vital energy, that dagger that you have was made by me using the energy that you accumulated by destroying that abomination, a pity that those worms have almost none vital energy left and all I could do was a sharp piece of metal... "

Locke looked at the dagger, the blade was a little broken due to the use but it still looked good, he wondered what she could do with more power.

"What does this heritage you is talking about?"

The fairy flew back to the panel and sat down, a few more points of light appeared and engulfed her, she was now dressed in a tiny suit, with a black skirt, withe shirt, tie, high heels and even a pair of glasses, her hair was tied in a bun and she held an open book in her hand, it looked like a cosplay of a little lawyer, she looked serious but Locke thought she was extremely cute.

"Her inheritance consists of four items in total" her voice was exaggeratedly serious, it seems that she had gone headlong into the roleplay "First; a wonderful, beautiful, marvelous and cute little goddess with the power of creation, who must be loved and adored every day, that is, the little me "

Locke smirks at the fairy's audacity.

"Second: your father worried about the fact that you will woke up late, so he created a system to help you gain power and evolve faster, this system is divided into levels and with each new level you will gain more power, you can growing up through battles or training, as in a game, your father thought it would be easier this way as it is very intuitive"

"Third: Your father left all the knowledge he has accumulated for you, spells, battle techniques and everything, you can rescue any of your knowledge as long as you meet the necessary requirements"

"Fourth: This is the most complicated one, your father left his home kingdom for you with everything in it, but you must first achieve the ability to cross a realm to claim that kingdom ... So, any questions?"

"How do I use this system?"

"Say "status screen ""

"Status screen!"

A semi-translucent floating black screen appeared in front of Locke, it had an exquisite design with a beautiful pattern around the edges, a series of words was written on it.

Name: Locke Driscoll

[A weakling, he will lose if he fights against a simple solitary goblin, I recommend breaking the seal before any leveling]

Locke looked at the screen for a moment, his status seemed shamefully low, the comment at the end was rather nasty.

"This is all you can access from the system in its current state, you have to break the seal if you want to know more, the vital energy was what I used to create the dagger"

"What can you create with that remaining vital energy?"

"Not much, that dagger cost 100 points, I used a privilege that your father left to create it by a tenth of the price, the little you have is not enough to create anything very useful, but I can modify or repair anything that exists"

"Can you fix my car?"

"Yes, but it will be for a short time, and the cost would be all the energy you have"

"Should I kill more zombies?"

"NO! Their vital energy is disgusting, and if the necromancer who made that formation appears, you will die without even knowing what hit you, besides you better wake up your blood and break your seal before you gain any level"

"Okay, fix the car, let's go home."
