Chapter 27: The Arrival in Eldoria – A New Beginning
With Bahamut soaring through the skies, Reo, Lucia, and Celestia finally approached the Grand Kingdom of Eldoria.
The view was breathtaking—a city surrounded by towering walls, golden spires stretching into the heavens, and magical airships flying above the bustling streets.
Lucia's eyes sparkled. "This place is huge! It's even bigger than our old kingdom."
Celestia nodded. "Eldoria is known as the center of power and knowledge. Some of the strongest adventurers in the world live here."
Reo smirked. "Good. That means more strong opponents for me."
Bahamut let out a low growl, circling above the kingdom.
"Where should I land, Master?" the dragon asked.
Reo pointed towards a massive coliseum at the city's center. "That looks interesting. Let's start there."

Landing at the Coliseum
As Bahamut descended, chaos erupted below.
People screamed, guards raised their weapons, and adventurers prepared for battle.
"A DRAGON?!"
"EVERYONE, READY YOUR SPELLS!"
Before things got out of hand, Reo jumped off Bahamut's back and landed gracefully in front of the guards.
"Relax," he said. "He's with me."
The crowd went silent.
An armored knight stepped forward, his presence radiating authority.
"Who are you?" he demanded. "And how did you tame an Emperor Sky Dragon?"
Reo smirked. "The name's Reo. As for Bahamut? Let's just say I beat him in a fight."
The knight's eyes widened. "You… tamed a dragon through battle?"
Whispers spread through the crowd.
"This guy is insane…"
"Who is he?"
Celestia sighed. "It hasn't even been a minute, and he's already causing trouble."
Lucia chuckled. "That's just how Reo is."
The knight finally nodded. "Very well. Welcome to Eldoria. But I warn you—this city is filled with powerful warriors. If you're looking for a challenge, you won't be disappointed."
Reo grinned. "That's exactly what I'm here for."

The Guild Registration
After settling things at the coliseum, the group headed to Eldoria's biggest Adventurer's Guild—a massive building filled with battle-hardened fighters, skilled mages, and legendary figures.
Reo approached the receptionist, a young woman with long silver hair and piercing blue eyes.
"Welcome to the Eldoria Adventurer's Guild. Are you here to register?"
Reo nodded. "Yeah. Sign me up."
The receptionist handed him a magical card. "Please place your hand on this. It will assess your abilities and determine your rank."
Reo pressed his palm against the card—
And the entire room shook.
A golden light erupted, the guild's magic sensors overloaded, and the card shattered into pieces.
The room went dead silent.
Lucia sighed. "Reo broke another magic tool…"
The receptionist stared in shock. "T-That's never happened before…"
Celestia smirked. "Well, now you know what you're dealing with."
The guild master, an elderly man with a scar across his face, stepped forward.
"You… What are you?"
Reo crossed his arms. "Just an adventurer looking for a good fight."
The guild master studied him for a moment before grinning.
"I like you, kid. Fine, you're in. But if you really want to prove yourself, there's a tournament happening soon. The winner gets a legendary artifact."
Reo's eyes gleamed. "Count me in."

Summoning the Goddess in Human Form
That night, after the day's events, Reo and Lucia sat in their inn room, reflecting on everything that had happened.
Lucia sighed. "This kingdom is crazy. We've only been here for a day, and you've already made a name for yourself."
Reo smirked. "That's just the beginning."
Celestia suddenly appeared in a glow of divine light.
"There's something I need to tell you, Reo," she said.
Reo raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
Celestia took a deep breath. "You've grown too strong for this world's magic. It's time to unlock your true potential."
Reo's expression turned serious. "And how do I do that?"
Celestia extended her hand. "By summoning me… in my true human form."
Lucia's eyes widened. "Wait, you mean—?!"
Before anyone could react, Celestia's body began to glow, and her divine form started to take physical shape.
For the first time, she stepped into the mortal world…
As a breathtakingly beautiful human woman.
Her silver hair shimmered under the moonlight, her golden eyes held the wisdom of the heavens, and her curves… were impossible to ignore.
Lucia blushed. "She's… beautiful."
Reo smirked. "Now things are getting interesting."
Celestia smiled softly. "From now on, I will fight by your side. The battles ahead will not be easy… but together, we will conquer them."
Reo clenched his fist. "Then let's get stronger."
