New Friend {2}

[Wake up…]

I heard the monstrous voice from a near distance. It was so near to me, which made me open from an eternal slumber. I slowly opened my pupils, first came a blurry vision, then slowly the scenery turned into a red sky.

I looked at the dark clouds in a daze. I was so lost in thought that I couldn't recount how many dark clouds passed by my eyelids.

「...」

I raised my hand which exudes pale white skin colour from it. I closed my fingers into a ball fist, feeling roughness on the centre surface of my palm. From the fists, a dark red wisp ignited which brought the warmth of the heat towards my body.

I lowered it, with the heat of this wisp spreading to my heart. Feeling my heart as it goes up and down beneath the white flesh.

[We're now fine. You only depleted huge amounts of mana while fighting those frozen knights and using low spells in the court…]

I heard him speaking again, with more loudness making my ears ache a bit by bit. I got up, by pushing my both hands to the rocky surface, its sharpness made a slight mark on the edges of my fingertips. I looked at the sides of this new realm I'm situated right now.

The realm was covered with a red sky, there were no echoes of sounds from creatures nor from the surroundings, it was absolute silence rang everywhere. I was standing some distance besides a huge red crack in the surrounding area.

This place can be called Volcanic Eruptive Area due to the place where dark brown volcanoes could be seen from here, the big cracked area. I'm standing on a volcanic cliff, I'm sure of it. I felt humid air blowing across my face, as the tricking beads of sweet falling of my body. It's uncomfortable for me to stand here due to how hot it is for me to stand here while wearing these clothes on top of my body.

I swiped the sweats from my neck, waving my hand like a fan to give off some small breeze towards my clothes. I unhooked some buttons to let the air fluctuate in my body.

I walked up the big crack on the volcanic cliff. I reach the end of the cliff. I bowed down, crouching on my knees, looking down at the black red lava boiling down the big crack. The temperature is already up at a high level which I could barely cope with.

Blop~ Hiss~ Blop~ Hiss~ Blop~ Hiss~

The shimmering lava kept rising and lowered its wave across the dark crystalline surface. I heard the boiling sounds of lava erupting like wildfire across my ears. I smelled the rusty scent of charcoal withering to my two tiny holes. I felt the sweat dripping from both sides of my neck and chest area which made the upper half of my body wet and uncomfortable.

I looked at the big crack with wide eyes and mouth, astonished at the great detail of this new realm. This realm was alive without any living beings habitating inside it.

「WHERE ARE YOU?!」

I yelled with the most pitch. I gripped my hands tight while feeling the pain of its tightness. I looked at the moon in the sky with calmness spread on both of my eyes.

[I'm here… you fool… ]

I heard his monstrous tone reverberating my ears. I looked below the black red lava in the big crack which had been stirring and churned violently. Suddenly, a black red satanic dragon came out of the black red lava. A lot of lava sticking was dripping from his huge black red body like drops of rain water.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The whole realm shook and trembled with at most ferocity. The realm which was silent a few moments ago, now was shaken violently. There small cracks emerged, the rocky surface started to dismantle into the cracks where black red lava began to flow from inside out and some of the rock and boulders fell off the volcanic surface. The rest of the volcano erupted, sending its hot black red lava to edges of the volcano from the erupted hole.

When I opened my closed eyes. I saw a familiar figure looking at me with hissing black red flames from his nostrils. There were sounds of lava falling into the big crack with a [Chiss!] sound which I heard from my ears. The scent of grilled charcoal spread more quickly to my nose. I felt the humid temperature rising as he exhaled black red flames unto me. I tasted my dry saliva and it made me want to drink some cold water.

「Have I fallen…」

I whispered to him who was standing right in front of me closely. I looked at him while sighing at the result.

[No, you're not dead yet… you are only highly sick out of pushing your current body beyond the limits of an ordinary child. That's all. You're still weak. you still haven't reached the prime stage yet. You've faced enough right now!]

I nodded my head. I stretched my arms and legs to the sides to and fro which made some cracking sounds.

「You're right. I did a lot of extraordinary things with an ordinary body. I reached my limits and lost a lot of mana and stamina for a 7 years old brat's body…」

I know if I exited this realm, I'd be really bedridden for a few days…. but there's no choice for me other than taking a short break.

「What's your name actually? Other than satanic dragon and my magic ?」

I asked him.

I'll surely be about to exit this realm in a few moments and to meet mom and silvia again. I'm so late to ask his name right now, I guess I should have asked him before but a lot of things happened to me which I missed to ask him. Now that my mom found me, then I don't have much issue for myself and I will probably solve many mysteries behind my mom, the history of this world and when I solve the last mysteries of this world then I'd return to my real world and I'd see my original mother and live a happy life.

『I don't want to stay in this world any longer…』

This wasn't my world to begin with.

I'm here because my soul is sealed in this body by this satanic dragon. And I have to reach the pinnacle of this continent to return back to earth.

He hissed the black red flames to the top and said.

[Cingar, the Satanic Dragon..]

Author's Note:

Sorry for the slow update. From this chapter onwards, I revert to "Telling" the story, since I'm learning to type out on my PC. I have been writing on mobile, and it is problematic for my spine, so I'm switching to writing on PC. And I kept so many inconsistencies in my writing and I wanted to correct the novel.
