Episode 31
Dragon!
A creature that is considered the strongest being regardless of time and place.
The dragon’s majesty was the same in Fate.
In the Fate universe, dragons are known as beings that bring about the end of the world.
‘Every time it appears, it destroys a country...’
Even though X had not studied much about the world of Fate, he knew about it.
To that extent, the dragon was an enormous being.
Rattling! A red hatchling dragon sat on the shoulder of X, who was shaking his joints.
“Kyuuuu!”
Booby booby.
The guy seemed to like X and kept rubbing his face against the hard bone. X decided to calm down and think calmly.
‘First of all, there is a possibility that it is not a dragon.’
This winged lizard may not be a dragon.
Are dragons something that can be easily seen?
However, it seemed that the somehow elegant appearance could not be explained by anything other than a dragon. But isn’t this Fate?
It was similar to a dragon, but there was a possibility that it was a different creature.
“...Even if it’s not, it’s probably comparable to a dragon, right?”
The golden eyes gave strength to the guess.
Crack! X sighed, his shoulders shaking and making a sound.
“Kyuu! “Kyuuu!”
The little guy seemed to find the sound amusing, burrowing his head between X’s bones.
In any case, the fact that we had to take this guy to Liglian didn’t change.
“This guy can’t be used if he wanders around inside someone else’s body like that.”
“Kyuu?”
chin! X grabbed the guy by the back of his neck and hugged him.
Perhaps because he liked X’s touch, the boy didn’t protest even once and was quietly held in his arms.
X looked at the baby lizard – whose exact identity was still unknown, so he decided to call it a lizard – with empty eyes. Suddenly, I could feel the sleeping boy’s breath on my bones.
‘cute.’
Even as X was mesmerized by the cuteness of the baby lizard, Reaper began circling around.
X held the baby lizard in one hand and took out a sword with the other.
‘It’s not difficult to fight one-on-one, but it gets tiring when you’re cornered.’
Reaper and Ghost are strong.
Since I couldn’t use both hands and also had to protect the baby lizard, I wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible. X walked slowly, keeping a close eye on Reaper.
“what?”
But for some reason, isn’t Reaper slowly backing away?
Dudeuk! X tilted his head. Because it was a sight that had never been seen before.
‘Have you lost your spirit?’
Even though he defeated many Reapers, in the eyes of the Reapers, X was just a skeleton.
There is no reason to feel fear. X noticed a difference in himself.
“...no way.”
Baby lizard!
Could it be that this soundly sleeping guy was chasing the Reaper?
An image of a dragon flashes through my mind for a moment! The dragon’s cry, which causes all living creatures to tremble with fear, seemed to be heard overlapping this creature’s sleep.
“I need to get you there quickly, right?”
In any case, it was clear that this cute guy was something extraordinary.
Dudeuk! X ran towards the mansion, making a loud bone noise.
I never thought I would miss the eccentric Liglian.
Life’s story was truly unpredictable.
*
Squeak! Liglian, sitting in a comfortable chair, muttered.
“Hehe, it looks like he’s recognizing the new owner.”
Liglian briefly recalled the past.
The face of the Gourmet King, speaking with an absurdly confident expression, came to mind.
The words he said passed by my ears.
-Do you think you still have to wait a long time to be born? Still, let’s wait and see. The birth of a dragon is not a sight that can be easily seen.
“Are you saying that dragon eggs are something that can be easily found?”
The king of gourmets who calmly said amazing things.
-Until then, I will leave this guy in your care, Liglian. I have to leave soon... You’re the one who’s the most delicate among the big guys, right? I think you can leave it to me with peace of mind.
Once again his voice echoed through my skull.
-Let’s see this guy born together.
‘It’s a weight I can’t bear.’
Become the master of the dragon.
Is there anyone in Fate World history who has achieved such achievements? X was more embarrassed than happy.
I couldn’t even imagine what kind of results this hatchling dragon would bring.
Hana X is greedy.
He is a man to whom the expression ‘greedy’ could not fit better.
Crack! X let out a small laugh.
‘Get that expensive pet for free!’
Pet!
In Fate, pets were sold at extremely high prices. Of course, pets that exist in reality, such as dogs and cats, have significantly lower prices. Here, expensive pets refer to special pets that only exist in Fate.
‘Basically, it’s over 2,000 gold.’
The roles of pets were different.
Some pets provide buffs, and some pets help in battle.
I heard that a really good pet performs a versatile role and can even level up by hunting alone.
But a dragon!
The dragon’s abilities are still unknown. However, even though it was a newly born cub, it made Reaper fall off his tail just by talking in his sleep. What if this dragon becomes an adult? There was no need to say anything.
‘It would be a huge help.’
Whether it was destroying War Machine or causing a rebellion in the Kingdom of Arba, it was clear that a dragon would do a great job. Excited! I felt like my heart was pounding without X. It was said that my heart was so full.
“They say that happiness comes after hard work....”
This was something that would have shocked Fate users around the world.
X wanted to quickly make the hatchling dragon his own before Ligrien said anything else.
Did you say it was a weight you couldn’t bear?
X vowed not to let go of the hatchling dragon, even if it meant being crushed by its weight.
X carefully stroked the baby dragon’s head.
“Kyuu?”
Booby booby. The guy who woke up looked at X with bright eyes.
X asked nervously.
“Will you come with me?”
The hatchling dragon raised its voice and cried.
“Kyuuuu!”
Tiroling! A notification came to mind.
[I want the hatchling dragon to follow you!]
[Would you like to accept the hatchling dragon as a pet?]
“Of course!”
At X’s answer, the hatchling dragon’s status window appeared.
Name: None
Race: Dragon
Satiety: 10%
Level: 1
Vitality: 10000 / 10000
Mana: 5000 / 5000
Strength: 300 / Dexterity: 300
Magic: 300 / Suppression: 300
‘What are the stats of a just-born guy?!’
Even as a cub, a dragon was a dragon.
No matter how excellent a pet is, it cannot surpass the user’s level.
However, the weight class of dragons was different from that of regular pets.
‘What is the stat called suppression?’
Subdue!
It seemed like a special stat that only dragons had. Even after checking the detailed information, no special information came to mind. X calmed his startled mind and looked at the hatchling dragon. I haven’t decided on a name for him yet.
“Hmm, what would be better....”
Crack! X, who was struggling, smiled and stroked the dragon.
“Yongyong. “From now on, your name will be Yongyong, okay?”
“Kyuu? Wow!”
Since ancient times, it is best to have a name that is easy to pronounce.
How easy and affectionate a name is Yongyong?
Moreover, there was an old saying that such a name brought longevity.
Yongyong also seemed to like the new name. Seeing the two looking at each other with happy eyes, Liglian muttered softly.
“It doesn’t matter if we like each other, but...even though our name is a dragon, Yongyong is cruel.”
Liglian let out a laugh at X’s poor naming skills.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
