Chapter 54 - Ch 54 : Water Dragon Hatch!

The next day, Ray told Big Sis that he would go outside to work.

He had carefully considered the Morningwood dungeon issue and eventually decided to rent a place for his personal use.

It's not like he wanted to move out of the orphanage, but he still needed to maintain the confidentiality of the Morningwood Dungeon, and there's no way he would be able to keep it a secret if he always stayed in the orphanage all day long.

Ray had called Ellen about this matter, and Ellen happily told Ray that she would introduce ray to some good places. Of course, it was not for free. For this, Ellen had asked ray to accompany her to go shopping together.

She told ray that it might be a good warm-up before Ray fully becomes his bodyguard, and Ray obviously agreed to this. Ellen is a beautiful woman, and if it's just going out and shopping together, there is no reason for Ray to reject.

However, Ray was still a bit confused why Ellen really emphasized shopping together as the main condition.

With Ellen's assistance, the renting matter was easily done, and now Ray was heading to one of the places that Ellen had told him on the phone.

From her information, this building was one of Ellen's properties, and Ellen had rented it to Ray for a super cheap cost. Ray had tried to reject before and offer a higher price, but Ellen declined, saying that if Ray refused, he really didn't treat her as a friend.

After Ray arrived at the specified building, Ray was a bit marveled at the scenery in front of him.

Contrary to his expectation, as Ellen said it was an unused building. The building before him now was a three-level majestic building, with good decoration and location, that made ray wonder whether it was truly unused before.

Still, the building had been rented to him, and Ray could only take Ellen's good intention in his heart.

' I'll try to pay her back later.'

Ray entered the building with the key Ellen had given her before and started to prepare things.

He moved some special anti-tracking items that he got from the DM shop and covered the entire building to make sure that his secret was safe.

And after everything was done, Ray opened the portal to the Morningwood Dungeon.

. . . . . . .

Ray arrived at the Morningwood Dungeon from the portal, but when he came to the Dungeon, he felt a bit weird. The Dungeon was really empty, and there were no traces of his monster.

He immediately turned on the DM system to check the inside of the Dungeon, and seeing that all his monsters were gathered in the Dungeon Core room, Ray sighed a relief.

At least there was no accident here while he was away, he thought.

Still, the issue that could make all his monsters gathered in one room also made Ray a bit curious. He closed the DM System and quickly went to the Dungeon Core room in the middle.

Inside the Dungeon Core room, all the monsters were surrounding a thing, and when Ray arrived, they gave way to Ray.

" You are so slow, Ray!"

Freed was the first to come to Ray and scold him. In front of Ray and the monsters, a little egg that was placed in the incubator was currently twitching hard like it was going to hatch.

' This.. System, can you tell me the remaining time for the egg to hatch?'

[ DING!!! Affirmative host. The egg will be hatched in another ten seconds.]

Listening to the system, Ray was glad that he was actually on time for the hatching moment of the egg. Because of the Special Dungeon and Big Sis's issue, Ray's focus has been shifted, and he almost forgot about the egg.

Ten seconds later, and the twitching egg suddenly has a crack on its shell.

" It's hatching!"

" Coop!" { A new comrade is coming!}

" Coop-Coop!" { I Hope it will be a beautiful chicken, or else we will be single cock forever.}

" Cooop!!!" { Fuck, who needs female chicken. We can lay eggs, and there's no need for females. It is the time for we male chickens to demand equality!}

The crack was getting bigger, and Ray's expectations rose.

No matter what, this egg was his first gacha monster, and furthermore, it was 5-Star Monster. Even if it was a two or three-star monster, Ray would still treat it like a treasure, but a 5-Star monster? Bah, Ray would even sell his kidney to make sure she was happy.

As time passed, the figure inside the egg eventually revealed itself.

The eggshell had fully broken, and a small blue slender dragon appeared.

She looked at Ray, and when her two big eyes collided with his, a smile appeared on her face.

" Papa!"

It seems because of the DM system, the bond between Ray and the small figure has been established right from the moment she was an egg, and now looking at Ray, she had treated Ray as her parent.

She jumped at Ray, and even though it was so sudden, Ray's reflex was fast enough to catch her on his arm.

" Papa is so warm..."

.

[ Water Dragon (Child/female).]

[ Lv: 1]

[ Special ability: Water sprout, Bubble, Charming eyes]

[ Passive: *Locked*]

[ A dragon blessed by the fountain of life. She loves you more than anything else]

.

With his appraisal, the water dragon's status appeared on Ray's mind. However, it seems his appraisal level was still a bit too low to discover some important info.

He closed the appraisal panel and chose to observe the water dragon on his arm carefully.

Two big eyes and two small crystal horns on her head. Her body was slender like a snake and covered by blue diamond-like scales. If not for the four arms on its body, people might mistake it with an exquisite snake danger-beast.

The water dragon looked at Ray who was observing her carefully and somehow got a bit embarrassed.

" Papa, can you give me a name?"
