Chapter 4: The first NPC?!

"Damn I'm royalty?" I asked to no one

"Sounds awesome in my mind. Anyway, now that I have these stats, I guess it's time to level up."

Taking a moment to admire the frozen seas I brushed some platinum white hair out of my eyes.

Realising that I haven't had a good look at myself since I joined this world I decided to examine myself.

Looking at my hands I still had the same beige skin colour as before but my veins had been replaced with a range of colours from black to yellow and white to green.

Slowly traversing down the side of the mountain I climbed over rocks and slid down muddy slides.

The abundant frosty green moss stuck to my feet before seeming to peel itself off of me.

Was this the result of [Lust]?

Every time bits of dirt stuck to me or I sweat, the dirt dripped off me and the sweat reabsorbed itself.

Reaching the bottom of the mountain and stepping into a small valley filled with dark green moss and small patches of grass that outgrew it I took my first step towards my dream life.

The feeling of the freezing cold breeze on my skin was relaxing for some reason.

The occasional bird chirp and ray of sun shine that scorched through the ground itself added to the sense of tranquillity I felt at that moment.

About 1 hour later, I encountered my first lifeform.

In the centre of the valley lay a shiny black dragon with red stripes through it's body, purple horns formed into a crown out of it's skull and it had dark yellow eyes with red irises.

The creature itself was about the size of three small houses long and five high and featured claws as long and thick as two humans.

The dragon was still?

Was it asleep with it's eyes open?

Questioning why the dragon wasn't moving it begun to speak.

"Why have you come here?" The dragon asked in an ancient female voice.

I didn't answer, no it's not that I didn't but more like I couldn't.

The voice of the dragon radiated power.

Sheer power that I couldn't face.

Shaking? I'm shaking?

I'll speak, I'll speak.

"I wandered in here by mistake. I just joined this world and I was spawned on a near by cliff face and I decided to come this way. No...I didn't come here by my own will but more like I was lured here?!" I answered unsure of myself

Narrowing her eyes, the dragon eyes me suspiciously before continuing.

"Ah if you had a skill that drew you towards areas with a high density of mana then that would explain it. If that is the case then I shall spare you from the consequences of invading my domain and will instead explain why you were summoned to this spot." The dragon informed.

Nodding my head, the dragon continued

"The area your currently in is called Rulers Domain and is classified as a maximum danger level area for everyone regardless of race. If you spawned here on top of a mountain then that means the rulers of this world have given you authority of that mountain. You should have realised that on the mountain, anything you deemed as unneeded would disappear from you such as dirt or moss.

And by the way the rulers gave me authority over a single stone in this valley but I expanded my territory by conquest until I obtained the entire valley. Go back to your mountain and let your mana flow freely into it. Imagine the design of what you would like your domain to be and it will take it's form naturally over time." The dragon informed me.

"Thank you dragon? Actually what do I call you?" I asked

"Tiamat"
