Not your run-off-the-mill Treasure

After an unknown amount of time, When he was full, he looked up, he now looked more relaxed, and happy, but the grin was gone. It was getting uncomfortable grinning like a fool for too long.

"Are you still there?"

"You can ask whatever you wish"

"Do you think I stand a chance of having a happy reunion with her?"

"No."

Dragon God wasn't disappointed by the response, it looked like he was even expecting that kind of response.

"Well, I think I do, if not, you wouldn't be helping me so hard," he said.

"But it's extremely dangerous, why do you have to choose this path? This isn't a natural path, it goes against the rules and laws of the universe. Getting reincarnated is better, there is still a chance to find you and unlock the memories of your past life"

Dragon God sighed after hearing this, and then he said, "Don't push this further. Will you be able to find me if I get reincarnated in a galaxy far away from your control?"

The other party, Deus Anima, chose not to respond.

Taking the silence as a no, Dragon God continued, "This is why I am determined to follow this path. While it's dangerous, it's the only chance I have. While it's dangerous, it's something within our control, I don't want to put all hope on a probability that is probably many times lower than winning a lottery"

"And besides, after getting reincarnated, while I'll have the same soul and spirit, it wouldn't be me. Me and my reincarnation would be one and the same. Getting reincarnated is like recycling. It's like a sheet of paper full of written words after getting recycled the paper would be born anew, it would be clean without any written words. And while things are as it is, forcing my memories on a completely different person who happens to be my reincarnation may not be a good idea"

"You don't have to tell me all that, I control the path of rebirth and reincarnation remember. This is my thing, I know the risk" The other party replied in a cold voice.

"Are you going to go through this even at the self detriment of your son?" It asked the Dragon God.

"I love my son and wouldn't want harm to befall him. But when we reach that stage we will think of another way" Dragon God replied after thinking for a while.

Silence ensued in the expanse once again, but then, Dragon God looked up and asked with a voice laced with strong emotion, "What about you?"

"Do you want me to meet the love of my life? Do you want me to be in the embrace of my wife as I very much want?"

"Yes. Yes, I do" the other party answered this time in a strange voice, not its usual cold and indifferent voice.

Suddenly a purple tier in space could be seen.

"Walk through that portal. It might take an eternity, but if this is the path you choose then so be it"

"Since you're proficient in the soul manipulation technique, becoming the consciousness of your boy's System wouldn't be too hard"

★★★

Disappearing from the place, Dragovic found himself in front of the Galaxy core.

Gritting his teeth, he cursed, "You, you left me to die!"

Before he could continue his rant a voice resounded in his head.

[Hello, Dragovic]

Dragovic's eyes twitched, "Who, what are you?"

[Chill. There's no need to be so cold. Let me introduce myself properly... You were granted a system through the wish of your father and I'm the consciousness of your system]

Hearing him mention his father, Dragovic lips twitched slightly as he said coldly, "You seem quite knowledgeable for a Consciousness created a few hours ago"

[Cough... Cough... Cough... Uhm... Uhm..] Drake [Now the System's Consciousness] coughed as he tried to bring out words to defend himself.

[You see, the God Of Souls gave me information of what happened...]

Dragovic dropped the suspicion after hearing this. He hadn't completely dropped it because, despite the System's words, he found the System's behavior very suspicious.

{Dragovic, it wasn't my fault that you were left there, I lost track of the Soul link} The galaxy core said to defend itself.

"So, you two. Where am I? Am I in the ring with you and my galaxy?" Dragovic asked while giving the galaxy core a little glare

[Yes, you are, you are inside the ring with your galaxy core and your galaxy] It was Drake who replied.

"But how is all this possible, how could a ring contain an entire galaxy inside it?" Dragovic brows were furrowed, such logic was beyond correspondence.

[That's what's special about the ring. It's not just your run-of-the-mill treasure]

********

AN;

Unlike most other novels, the voices that will be speaking to Dragovic are two.

[ ] This bracket would depict the voice of Drake the Dragon God who is Dragovic's System's Consciousness.

{ } This bracket would depict the voice of the Galaxy core.

I hope you guys are liking the novel.

*********

Scanning the horizon upon which he floated, Dragovic sighed, he couldn't believe that many things could go wrong in just one day.

After witnessing the might of those Cthulhus, his hunger for strength had grown.

Looking at his finger, he noticed that the ring was no longer there. He understood what was going on.

The ring only appears when he's outside the galaxy, so technically, he is inside the ring, so it wouldn't make sense for it to be on his finger.

Turning to the Galaxy core, he said, "Teleport me back to the black tower!"

[Dragovic, while I can do this for you, such teleportation isn't to be used on a whim, that is to say, I won't teleport you to where you want every time.]

Dragovic remained silent, not bothering to reply.

Sighing to itself, the Galaxy core teleported Leon into the black tower in the floating mountain.

"This, this is a treasure father loved so much. He treasured it with his life" Dragovic muttered to himself with watery eyes as he reminisced good memories of him and his father.

He is inside, at the base of the tower, in front of him is a spiral staircase that goes right up to the top.
