Dina: Is it really around here?
Arya: They said it's true.
They explored the surrounding area and found many corpses of adventurers who died fighting the dragon.
Arya: So many victims.
Dina: Yeah, but are you sure? You said you want to make it your friend?
Arya: Of course I'm sure. If it can't talk, then I'll make it understand through a fight!
Dina: Battle maniac.
Arya: Don't compare me to you.
Dina: What?!
Whosshhh (strong wind blows)
Dina: W-what is that?! Hey Ar, look up there!
A dark shadow slowly covered the sky above them...
Arya: Woahhh it's huge!
Huffwhohhhh (the dragon breathes fire)
Arya: What?! Dodge, Dina! Swap!
Dina:Wind Step! Whooo what the hell was that, suddenly breathing massive fire!
Arya: Hahahaha, amazing! Truly amazing! A real dragon!
Dina: Stop being amazed, you weirdo! What now?!
Arya: Alright then! (Pulls out two pistols).Ice Shot! (Ice bullet) Fire Shot! (Fire bullet)
It had no effect... Because... The dragon's size was just way too big... And its form was terrifying...
Its entire body was pitch black... One scale as big as a human head... Its body size as large as a 3-story house... Even Dina, who loves fighting, was trembling when she saw it... But there was one weird guy who was getting excited...
Dragon:(intimidating voice) "WHO ARE YOU?! YOU MANAGED TO DODGE MY FIRE BREATH AND EVEN STRIKE BACK WITHOUT FLEEING IN FEAR! YOUR MAGIC ENERGY... IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE HUMANS I'VE FACED BEFORE!"
Arya: Woahh! Hey Dina! Look! It can talk! The dragon can talk! WAHAHAHA!
Dina: Y-yes! (trembling from the intimidation) W-why aren't you scared?!
Arya: Huh?! Why should I be?! HEY MISTER DRAGON! I HAVE NO INTENTION TO FIGHT! CAN WE TALK FOR A BIT?!
Dragon:(why is he getting excited?)Intimidating voice. "TALK?! THEN MAKE ME TALK THROUGH A BATTLE!" (Unleashes three massive fire breaths.)
Arya: Woah! Swap! Swap! Swap!
Dina:Wind Step! Wind Step! Wind Step!
Arya: Dina! Get out of here! Let me handle this!
Dina: You seriously want to do this alone?! Alright... Be careful! (Retreats from the battle)
Arya: Don't worry! Swap! (Closes in on the dragon) Freeze!Ice Lancer! Tch! Still no effect?!
Dragon: "THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, BOY!"
Arya:Ice Shot! Fire Shot! (Each pistol fires 5 times in a row). What the hell is with these hard scales?!
Dragon: HMPH! YOU SHOULD BE ATTACKING WITH THIS KIND OF POWER! ICE! (Unleashes massive ice attack at Arya)
Arya:Swap! Woahhh that's freezing!!! What the hell is that scale?! This place feels like a natural disaster! Alright, I'll get serious! *(Draws a katana-like sword) I'm not a sword expert, but this is my strongest close-range weapon! Strength! (Strengthens his whole body and channels magic into the katana)
Arya: Prepare yourself, Mister Dragon! Swap!Fire Slash! (A fiery slash from the katana) (Scratches the dragon's scale)
Dragon: KUH! MY SCALE GOT SCRATCHED?! NOT BAD, BOY! FIRE STORM! ICE STORM! WIND STORM! SAND STORM! DARKNESS! (The dragon is not holding back anymore and unleashes all the storms one after another)
Arya: W-what the hell is that?! Is he trying to destroy the world?! (Arya panics from the consecutive massive-scale attacks.)Teleport! (Teleports to Oiter City). Huuu what the hell was that?! *(Activates long-range communication) Dina! Are you okay?! You got far from the area, right?!
Dina: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! YOU'VE AWAKENED THE WRATH OF A WALKING DISASTER! LOOK! THE ENTIRE FOREST IS GONE!
Arya: What?! Teleport! (Returns to the previous forest). WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! WHY IS THE FOREST GONE?! I'm ending the call, Dina! Bye!
The sight Arya saw after returning to the previous forest... The forest looked like a crater of fire, ice, barren desert, and scorched earth... Like every disaster combined before his eyes... Citizens who saw it felt like the world was ending...
Dragon: "HOOO?! STILL ALIVE?! THEN IT'S NOT ENOUGH YET?!"
Arya: I-I SURRENDER! I SURRENDER! (Bows down) PLEASE DON'T CONTINUE OR THE WORLD WILL BE DESTROYED!
Dragon: "HMPH. AN INTERESTING KID… You're a strange human. Others run, yet you return. Others tremble, yet you laugh. And now, you bow down... Interesting. VERY WELL! SPEAK! I SHALL HEAR YOUR STORY!"
Arya: ALRIGHT, THANK YOU! (What the hell is this creature?! Even with my current strength, I feel like an insect staring at the sky! I can't beat him yet!)
Arya began to tell the story about how he reincarnated and his mission to execute corrupt rulers... And also mentioned that in his previous life, he was very interested in seeing dragons, but they were just mythical creatures in that world...
Dragon: Hooo?! Reincarnation, huh?! WAHAHAHA! YOU'RE GETTING MORE INTERESTING, BOY! (Thunderous voice)
Arya: T-THANK YOU VERY MUCH! (DAMN! MY EARDRUMS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO BURST FROM THAT VOICE!)
And that's how Arya met the dragon — the beginning of their friendship...
