THE DRAGON SOUL (02).

[Where...is this place??]

In a dark area with no source of light or life, Yu Jung-Hyeok was floating in a subspace, where nothing exists.

[Am I dead?? Wasn't I fighting the monsters...did they kill me...]

Yu Jung-Hyeok didn't feel anything. He still had access to his hands and his legs, but his body felt numb as if all the sensation had already left it.

[You are in the 'Fable Graveyard']

Suddenly, a message appeared in front of his eyes. The words didn't make any sense; reading it only made him more confused.

[An unknown entity is looking at you.]

Another message popped up in front of him, and reading it, a frown came to his face. He turned his head but didn't see anyone.

[Who is looking at me?]

Yu Jung-Hyeok asked a question to himself. He was stuck in a place unknown to him, and not only that, someone was spying on him.

This feeling of being watched was different than being watched by constellations as he could also see them, even if only in the form of messages or stars. But right now, it felt weird.

[Huh!! That feeling is gone.]

Yu Jung-Hyeok was confused. The feeling of being watched was still there, but the creepy feeling of being spied on was now gone.

['Scaled Dragon' is looking at you.]

Yu Jung-Hyeok looked at the new message that popped up in front of him with a narrowed look.

[In---na--ion]

[!!!!]

Suddenly, a distorted voice was heard, and the Whole place started to Destrote, a Sudden Shape started to Descend in the empty Space which Slowly turned into a Chinese Dragon. Yu Jung-Hyeok felt a strong pressure descending on his body.

[What is this feeling!!!!]

A sudden fear took over his body. The voice had an uncertain hidden power behind it, and hearing and looking towards its Eyes, Yu Jung-Hyeok felt goosebumps throughout his body.

[Haa...Haaa....Haaa...]

Yu Jung-Hyeok took deep breaths. His head started to hurt him pretty badly, and the feeling of death was spreading throughout his whole body.

[L---Let ----m--Tak---Over---Yo-r---Body---]

The Shape was barely understandable, but Yu Jung-Hyeok knew whoever this being was, it didn't want his well-being.

[Who...are you??]

Yu Jung-Hyeok, holding his head which was hurting so badly that it felt like it might explode at any moment, asked a question.

[Y---you----Do--t---hav---to---Kn-w.]

[Gi---me---y--r----Bo-y]

Yu Jung-Hyeok was fighting with all his willpower to not lose control over his body. He was getting drained mentally and was losing his calm.

His expression turned pale; his mind was losing this battle against this being. The words this being spoke made his whole body flinch. If it went on like this, he would surely lose himself here.

[An unknown entity is looking at you.]

Suddenly, another message popped up in front of Yu Jung-Hyeok, and a star appeared in this dark world, spreading its shine on Yu Jung-Hyeok.

[An unknown entity is looking at 'Scaled Dragon'.]

[Wh---re---ou]

The dragon's soul roared towards the unknown star which had appeared in the night sky.

[An unknown entity has filed an official complaint to 'Star Stream'.]

[Wh-t---]

The dragon tried to say something but got cut off mid-sentence as a message appeared in front of him.

['Star Stream' has received the complaint.]

['Star Stream' is investigating against constellation 'Scaled Dragon'.]

[Investigation has completed.]

['Scaled Dragon' has been found guilty.]

[I---can't---e]

The dragon's words started to cut off as an unknown energy began to resist him.

[Yo--can't---thr--me]

['Scaled Dragon' is using ?#!;";$#]

['Star Stream' is resisting ?#!;";$#]

[No---Yo---Can't----]

['Star Stream' is using ?#!;";$# to stop the true voice.]

Suddenly, one more message appeared, and the voice was gone, but still, Yu Jung-Hyeok could see the battle taking place in front of him.

The dragon entity was getting attacked by an unknown energy, and it was struggling to get control over itself.

[Channel #B-7623 has opened]

Suddenly, a familiar message resounded in front of Yu Jung-Hyeok.

[Constellations are entering.]

['Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is looking towards the scene with an annoyed look.]

[Many constellations are unhappy with 'Scaled Dragon'.]

['Demon-Like Judge Of Fire' is furious due to the cowardly display of 'Scaled Dragon'.]

[Many constellations are filing an official complaint to 'Star Stream' to remove the modifier of constellation 'Scaled Dragon'.]

[You really are a person who likes to get in trouble, don't you.]

A familiar white furry ball appeared in the sky which was now filled with many stars shining with an intense light.

[You really got kidnapped by a constellation.]

Bihyung spoke with a sigh as he looked toward Yu Jung-Hyeok.

['Star Stream' is taking action.]

[Due to the high number of complaints, 'Star Stream' revokes the contract of the constellation 'Scaled Dragon'.]

['Star Stream' has taken away the modifier as per the contract.]

[All rights are now taken away from 'Jiaolong'.]

As this message appeared, the strange energy, which was much stronger than before, overpowered the dragon, and it disappeared into nothingness.

[You have achieved something which has never been accrued in the 'Star Stream'.]

[Your achievements are recorded in the 'Star Stream'.]

[A new fable is getting ready to be born in this world.]

[What is all this??]

Yu Jung-Hyeok, whose head was now much more stable, was asking this question to himself after reading so many messages.

[Y-you are getting a f-fable already!!!!]

Bihyung screamed with a surprised look on his face. Never in his life had he seen someone in his channel get a fable, and not only that, the fable appeared so soon.

[What's a fable??]

[A sudden quest has appeared!!]

Yu Jung-Hyeok asked his question, but suddenly, one more message popped up in front of him.

[The 'Star Stream' has sent a quest due to the sudden interference of a constellation.]

[Well, it seems you have to go back now!!!]

Bihyung spoke, and hearing him, Yu Jung-Hyeok narrowed his eyes.

There were many questions in his mind, and he needed the answers to them. Only this creature could provide him with the answers.

[I know you have many questions, and you will get the answers to all of them as you proceed in the story.]

Bihyung knew what Yu Jung-Hyeok wanted, so he gave some words to satisfy his curiosity for now. After all, this guy was going to make him rich, so according to Bihyung, he could make some investments in him.

[Know this: the fable you're going to get is very helpful for you. It will help you get stronger and could be very helpful in future scenarios.]

Bihyung spoke with a meaningful look, and Yu Jung-Hyeok, with a serious look, listened to everything he was saying.

[So, continue to grow like this and accumulate more fables like this in the future.]

After saying that, Bihyung snapped his finger, and suddenly the surroundings started to change.

[And probably you might achieve the true ?";#!*!#!#]

His words got filtered, so Yu Jung-Hyeok wasn't able to understand much as his consciousness started to fade.

Snap

[Skill 'Berserker' is cancelled.]
