Chapter 5: Dragon?
- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
*♪ BOOH! ♪
" Didn't feel it.
I tried to move and it worked, is it normal regeneration?
I stood up and looked around.
[ Sath Forest, Kingdom of Grelluth, Northern Rath Continent]
A vast forest with a lake stood before my eyes. Everywhere I could hear birdsong, animals... Or monsters... There was even a chirping sound, maybe a woodpecker. Well, it was an ordinary Russian forest.
And in the distance one could see plains... It brings back memories.
- Phew, I'm alive after all. Lucky that mongrel king didn't kill me. Maybe he was afraid. Or some kind of arrangement? Where did they even come from?
I was beginning to have second thoughts that weren't positive.
- Enough was enough, one had to be happy... But. How many years I had spent there... I shudder to think what had happened to my home world. Well, I'd better have a look at my records.
In anticipation of my joy, I was about to open the manual, when suddenly I heard a whistling sound.
- A whistle.
- М? Aaaaah, a dragon!
I was facing a strange dragon with silver hair, are they supposed to have hair?
- Bam!
It flew away a couple hundred metres...
" I hope he survived, maybe he can talk. I remembered an incident: I once caught two dogs to see if they could communicate with each other. I remember one incident: I caught two dogs once, to see if they could communicate with each other. Afterwards, I did not conduct such experiments.
I started to run and after a second I found myself near a living but strange dragon.

Level: 27]
" I see now. And by the way, what are my characteristics? To cover that distance in a second...
- Where am I?
- Awww, that hurts, I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
- I said, where am I?
- Ah, in the woods.
" Best answer one could hear.
- OK, why are you attacking me?
- Because you're an alien from another world.
- Argument. And what makes you so hateful towards aliens?
- If I don't answer?
- I'll chop your head off...
- ...OK, I'll tell you. Aliens first came to our world 40 years ago. At one time, we got on well with the aliens... But it didn't last long. The aliens started killing off the Rathans for the sake of leveling up. At some point, the strongest of the aliens gathered as a group.
- How strong are they?
- I don't know, let me go on. They formed an organisation
" English, really?
- The aliens were strong... They could kill enemies with the power of a dragon... As with each kill they increased in level... No magic could stop their group led by a 100 level leader... Until they came, world famous...
- Heroes?
- How would you know?
- L-logic.
- So, four heroes came in: Sword King Baothal, Archimage Jenobia, Assassin Karhan, Lord of Life and Death Hollyen.
- Such are the ranks, only the last one has a normal one.
- ...The Four Heroes of the Continent were killed one by one in a short space of time. With their deaths, the responsibility for the entire continent fell on the shoulders of the Six Goddesses. That's why Earthlings are considered accomplices of evil demons from another world, now all aliens must be put to death...
- ...I see.
Ω By the lake
I was riding a wyvern that was on its way to its den.
" Oh, lake, need to take a look at myself, last time I was, er, I don't know when.
- Stop.
- Okay.
As I walked over to the water, I took a look at myself.
"Didn't change at all, same emotionless face, but the body looked more spectacular. And the clothes... Since there was hardly anything but dogs, I had to sew from them. So I had trousers and a sweatshirt with dog underwear.
- Yeah, looks terrible, never knew how to sew. All right, I'll have a look at the specs at the same time.
