Chapter 201: What did you do with Perseus?

"Huh?"

-This is a bit cliché but...huh?-

-Well we are in a novel called 'Reincarnated into a world of clichés'- Siege pointed out

-If we put cliché into the formula, imagine me being some sort of descendant of a god- Diana said

-Author?-

| No spoilers |

"Wow, your family really is just a big mess" Cordelia commented "I know it was a mess before, but now it's just confusing"

"Well Lia, remember that you were the one who confessed and make the first move, so this is all on you"

"Is that my new nickname?" she asked

"Well it was either Lia or Delia, and I thought Lia sounded a bit more cuter"

"So does that mean I can call you Percy now?"

"No"

"Well call me that from now on, it's cute" she said as she kissed my cheek

"Hello" Damon interrupted "Stop flirting, you're interrupting my moment. I'm a candidate for some position for some unknown reason"

"Sorry" we apologized

"Well there is a reason for why you were abandoned" Galem explained "You are deemed too powerful. Dragons are very powerful, and with one of the largest mana capacity out there despite being physically the strongest, so we leave you special ones to fend for yourselves, either you die to nature or...you survive to become a great pillar among the dragons"

"What about his parents? And how do you know that he was born special?" Diana asked

"Ah right, you're Jimmy's chicken sister" Galem addressed her "But he will get to meet them soon, no worries. As for how we know, you see a dragon seer has prophesized that the new era to be of great calamity, and the dragon ways are too old, so our new dragon king must be one born from the new era. The candidates, when they are born, their egg will give off a presence of a lord. So we took these eggs and spread them out, the presence would scare predators off and disappear once they hatch"

-Wow, so cliché and boring-

-Yeah, it is a bit- Ace agreed

"In a year time, we will host a battle royale for all the candidates, last one standing will become the lord who will lead us in time of the calamity. The lord will reign control over all species of dragons regardless of whether they are old or young" Galem continued "The new lord is the one who is fated to become the strongest of all time."

"So my parents are alive and well?" Damon asked

"Of course, the parents of the candidates are all alive, well some will have a parent rather than parents but yes, you will at least find one of your parents alive waiting for you" Galem answered "Though they do not live in this settlement, they all move to another one that is much more highly guarded"

"Say, just out of curiosity, if Damon becomes a lord, dragons like Erix who is currently much stronger than him will have to listen to him as well?"

"Ah that dumb gold dragon, Eren, very violent, but yes. If he is made our lord, dragons will obey him, and only dragons will be able to feel the presence of the lord" Galem answered "To think that the only snow dragon candidate is right in front of me is exciting"

"So can we go see them, his parents?"

"Rick here will guide you there, I'll go too to help confirm your identity, but in the mean time, Ren, guide them to our guest chambers, I will inform the others that we found our candidate" Galem said

*****

Our champers was just a huge cavern with nothing but rocks, but then again it is made to accommodate huge guests like Damon who is a fellow dragon. We set up camp there and I then called my parents to update them about our situation.

Damon was hounded outside his caverns by other dragons asking whether he really is a candidate for the dragon lord while he is just as clueless as us

"Should I be surprised?" Olivia asked

"Nah, I've heard much worse things from him" Uncle John answered

"Well just make sure that you are all right *sighs* why me" Mom said

"I can hear you very well, you know, enhanced hearing?"

"Of course dear" she replied "Make sure that your girlfriend is okay too, I still haven't thought of a name for your first child yet"

"Why are moms like this?" I facepalmed

-She's a mom, she's supposed to be like this- Diana responded

-And it is the child's responsibility to give her a grandchild- Dabria added

-Not if the child doesn't want to have children of their own- SIege pointed out

-Come on Siege, it's Perseus we're talking about here- Diana argued

-That's fair- Siege nodded

-Wanna make a bet on how many children he will have?- Ace asked

-Let's not-

"Well it's your mom after all, how is it there?" Dad asked

"Um weird, Damon has more fans than ever, if he becomes a dragon lord, it would be a bit weird. Then again he has to put up with me being a prince, so I'll bear with it"

"Yeah, would that make me who is his sister a princess?" Diana asked curiously

"I don't think they would, they call you a chicken"

"Gather us a lot of dragon scales!" Luke requested from the back

"I will, I got a few of different ones in my spatial storage already. Lia, you got anything that you wanna say?"

"Oh you're actually calling me by that nickname" Lia said with a slightly shocked expression

"You were the one who gave me that request"

-Please stop, there's only so much sugar that I can vomit out in one chapter- Dabria warned

-Yeah, who are you and what have you done to our Perseus?- Ace backed up sarcastically

"I'll give it a year" Eliza said

"For what"

"The days that I have to wait for my first niece or nephew" She answered

"Look his face is red again" Lia laughed
