Chapter 3: Wish Granted?
I still can't it over my head as I watch the scene before me. Dusts are floating everywhere, trees which even some SSS grade were broken beyond description and most importantly a huge crater in the place where I planted the Seed of wish.
"Why... wuwuwuwu" I can't help but somehow cry as tears started to fall.
Every year... I waited for so long just for a 1% chance. Why can't things go my way just once? It does not even guarantee my wish coming true so why destroy it even without me having the chance to try? I really feel weak at this point. I feel like I don't know anymore and just stand blankly as I watch the horrifying scene before me.
Suddenly, I caught some movements even with the dusts scattering around. It is just a few inches smaller to my height and a bat like wings with a humanoid stature.
Is it a Harpy? A dragonewt? Or just a winged race? I swear I'll feed it to my scavengers whatever it is!
"Da...mn" A weak female voice sounded.
I am ready to call on the scavenger and tear this being apart when I hesitated somehow. With just a wave and everything will be over but somehow my hand failed to go down to signal the attack. It felt like it was stuck in there frozen in time. I don't know what is happening but I feel like I will be regretting this decision if I really bring down my hand which actually seems comical. Why can a simple gesture affect my life?
The figure, masked by the thick dust started to look around based on what I see on her visage. She seems holding to her left shoulder as a sign of injure and at this point I decided to see who is this menace who ruined my year.
When the dust settled finally, my heartbeat started to go nuts and my body started to tremble on what I see. A lady in black metallic armor with pale countenance but somehow still look as perfect anyone can be. A drooping bat-like wing on the right which indicates it being injured and a really familiar smell to every dungeon master.
Danger! Risk of termination! Conquer! Eternal rest!
Those words started to flash in my mid despite the unbelievably gorgeous female in front of me. All my life I never felt this scarred before even facing off that naughty kid with his massive amount of SSS grade minions but just a single glance towards her and it made my scalp go numb due to fear. This is the kind of first time I always hope to never face or experience.
I'm toasted right?
The figure before me looked around until her vision finally landed on me. This time, my legs started to tremble too. Her eyes were like beautiful jade as they focus on me. I somehow forgot my fear and just stood there in a daze. It felt like my soul is being sucked and I can't look away from those two beautiful gems. \
Whatever... I'm going to die anyway and I should just enjoy the process. Wait... that came out weird.
"Is this land yours?" a voice more composed and full of authority broke the magic playing tricks on my mind.
I regained my senses and wanted to reply but then my teeth started to chatter. I wanted to say something. I realized that this is not the time to be in a daze and get myself killed.

“Ye..s” I barely managed to say.
“Hmmm… A bit grassy but this will do.” She said as she finally averted her gaze and I somehow felt my freedom back.
Now that I look at her more closely, doesn’t she fit the description of a True Dragon? Arrogance that reach towards the heavens, perfect features and an overwhelming presence which even makes me feel extreme danger to my life.
“Uhm...” Before I even finish what I wanted to say, a felt a slight wind passed by me and a deafening explosion rang to my ears.
I looked back and saw a straight line with only clear land without any vegetation or the presence of my monsters. I nervously gulped as I turn my gaze back towards the female again.
“Of course.” I bowed my head.
I wanted to be more significant or more interesting but I really do not want to say unnecessary things and sign my death sentence. The earlier action already made me understand that I may suffer a little but maybe I can do better later. I will just need to endure a little and gain a little more ground for maneuver.
“Boring...” the female said as she passed by me.
I think so too.
Aside from my long life and my ability to survive, I think my life so far has been without color. Plant there, defend here, run here and over there and survive. I wanted to make a joke but somehow I feel really sad as of now.
I looked towards the center of the crater where the Seed of Wish which only needs a few more hours and I can get my wish. Even if I ask for a True dragon, I will never ask for someone so violent I can’t handle! Now I am stuck with a true dragon alright but I did not wish for this! I might die before I even have quality time with her! This is so sad!
I finally arrived into the center of the forest where the Dungeon heart is and what I saw gave me a heart attack.
“Ho...ly...” I nearly choke as I watch her play with the dungeon heart like a ball as she toss it up high only to fall back into her palms once again.
“Is this the perfect threat of “Do as I tell or else?” I mumbled without realizing it.
She probably heard me as her vision landed on me again and the suffocating pressure once again bore down on me. I resisted with all my might but it is just so hard as I bowed my head once again.
“From now on… this dungeon will be under me.” she said in a cold and emotionless voice.
“For how long?”I asked as I remembered that true dragons have their lair and they will soon get back to it once they are bored or after the cleaning routine.
“I don’t know… But keep the place quiet.”
“This is a dungeon” I don’t know where this courage of talking back comes from but keep going me!
“As I can tell.” she said coolly as she once again tossed the dungeon heart up in the air which made my heart skip a beat.
Please catch it. Please.
“Invaders will come and this place will be really annoying to stay.” I don’t know if this will work but I really don’t want to mess with a true dragon like this.
Even though I will wish for a dragon waifu, I will still describe it as an adorable and lovable type and not this tyrannical type of dragon! I can’t even talk straight! This is horrible!
“Then you will deal with it and if you don’t I will smash this thing.”
As expected… Villains always throw those kinds of lines.
“Ahh...” I wanted to talk back again but the glare I am receiving told me not to say anymore. “Of course.”
I walked back sighing with this horrible turn of events. If only she did not crash… I would have embraced an adorable true dragon with cute smile and fluffy wings by now. Ah…. My sad life.
“Gosh… I really managed to pull it off.” A female’s hushed voice sounded while carefully placing the dungeon heart towards its rightful place.
