The five people coming from me are none other than, the chiefs, chief of Earthos, Thoss, chief of Amihan, Habagat, chief of Thuveg, Jesebell, chief of Dhahon, Ipilia and the last one is Ragoniad. They approach me while taking my moment here, eating, what a nuisance.
“Good day to you, Joel or Dragunov?”
The Amihan chief, Habagat, is the one who speaks to me first.
“Just call me whatever you like”
They look at each other, and proceed to talk.
“Okay Dragunov, we’re here for your punishment regarding trespassing our TERRITORY!” [Thoss]
At those words, I drop my foods held with my both hands a second ago. What the hell ? Punishment for trespassing? Ah, right, it seems I forgot about trespassing their lands. Crap, I forgot that these dragons don’t like other beings walking in these lands without permission. In other words, its “DO NOT ENTER. AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY” or “TRESPASS OR YOU WILL BE SHOT”. Damn, I’ll be dead here. I want to escape but not right now, I am currently surrounded by the dragon chiefs which of course a way stronger than me and I can’t escape here without serious injury. Let’s escape in the right time and with higher chance of getting uninjured, I hate unnecessary injuries due to carelessness.
“So what’s my punishment?”
“Let me beat him pops”
Another dragon joins our conversation; it seems I am now the center of attention. All of the dragons are watching at us, some are talking to each other. I heard they say “Poor boy, he’s dead”, “Even he taught us before, but punishment is punishment” or “what a shame, he’s a good guy” with depressed looking face. Oh, I didn’t expect that they mutter those words; I thought they will say some sarcastic lines or badmouth me but I am thankful to them, it seems those dragons knows respect, I am quite proud. Now let’s face the current situation.
“Calm down, Soht”
It seems the father and chief of Earthos, Thoss, wants to stop his son’s idiocy but his son already lunged forward onto me. The dragons around me look at me with pity face, some close their eyes; they think that I will be done in an instant since the man who attacks me is a dragon and a son of a chief. But the next moment, all the audience watching us unconsciously drop their jaw with big bulging eyes and it's like their world stops spinning for a second. There, lying on the ground is the body of the man who attacked me having beauty sleep with droll flowing in his mouth like a river.
“amazing”, “unbelievable”, “one move only”, “hey, what happen?”, “What the hell?”
Those are the words I hear.I just roundhouse kick Soht, a beautiful and well timed roundhouse kick hitting his chin or temple. My beautiful kick hits his vital-knockout spot making him fast asleep. Of course, the last one who says “What the hell?” is none other than his father. He can’t believe his son was easily knockout in just a moment. It seems he want to join the fun but stop by Ragod, the Kilate chief.
“Don’t do anything stupid, your son just lost his consciousness and that guy easily beheaded ten dragons in one strike”
Good job in defending me Ragod, but don’t make additional speech that views me as an overpowered character bastard. The situation in beheading ten dragons in one strike is just my master ability and luck that their levels is more or less close to mine, which is level 4000 and that bastard, Soht, the sleeping dragon, level 5000 only. Our gap is 1000 but it seems that difference is use in his idiocy, yeah 4000 capability and 1000 idiocy.
“Can we cut into chase and tell me my ‘punishment’?”
The shock and silence from before breaks when I speak first with slight anger of course.
“Sorry about that, it’s not punishment where talking here. We are here to discuss some important things.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Lucky me, no punishment. Whew
“Of course, we can’t ignore that you trespass here but that only bring shame to us if we kill you since you are here because of some circumstances”
Right, I do not literally trespass here; I was here because of Brovo’s selfishness and greediness. It seems the Earthos chief, Thoss, doesn’t understand what they are discussing before. The Amihan chief, Habagat speaks to me and it seems Earthos before cause some serious misunderstandings, leading to his son and him do some shameful acts. And the chiefs once again discuss their true intentions to Thoss who has a muscle brain for the second time. All of them sigh after Thoss finally understand. Does this bastard doesn’t focus during meeting talks or he just uses his brain during battle?
“Hahaha…sorry about that. I thought that we will eliminate you. Hahaha”
“Its okay”
Damn you, muscle brain bastard, you almost kill me there.
“Dragunov we want your opinion on some things”
We proceed to Kilate’s Castle to discuss those ‘some things’. I talk to them a why I am needed in their meeting and they just said that ‘We feel that your opinion help us greatly’. That’s it? You just feel it? Please don’t be illogical, its just your feeling, you know. I try to decline but Ragoniad shakes her head, she whispers to me that the chiefs’ decision is final and anyone must follow it no matter what. What the hell is that? Okay, let’s follow them; I am good in the riding with the flow situations.
We are now seated in a round metal table, we are like knights in the round table. Hahaha. Okay lets behave for a moment, wild imaginations off. They talk about problems and problems, problems that their own clansmen encountered every day. The most notable ones are problems regarding waste problem and disease problem. These two problems are the ones which the chiefs have a hard time with so I voice my opinion. It seems there ancient minds have reach the limit so let’s introduce the modern one. And raise my hand.
“May I suggest? I may be have a solution”
“Please speak”
“Okay first is the waste problem; let me ask some questions first”
I question them about their toilets and they answered me with every detail. It seems these dragons have ancient toilet, and that’s a hole in the ground style, but the problem is the hole on the ground emits a strong odor and the source is their huge pile of poop. Even they cover it, it’s no use since they use it every day so whenever they use it, they cover their noses but since they have a sensitive one, they can smell it ultimately. Aw, it seems having a sensitive nose has a great disadvantage, let’s modify our nose from now on, like filter the smell of poop and other disgusting smelly things.
I asked them about digging a new hole and covering the new one but they already did that but they can’t dig deeper since they are dragons, not digging type monsters. I asked the Earthos if the can dig but he just answered me “We don’t dig, we fight” I sigh to his answer and it seems they really don’t want to dig or they are just simply dragons. I see, I think I need a rock pokemon to dig. Go ‘Onix’ dig.
“Okay I get the gist of it, the answer is you need to make a ‘proper toilet’”
“Proper toilet” means a modern one, with flush system, water style. Back in my old world, it’s a toilet that’s so popular with everyone, from beggar to celebrities, high ranking officials, world leaders or presidents. Every one use it to make them comfortable from uncomfortable situation called ‘The Call of Nature’.
We discuss about ‘proper toilet’. I take almost an hour to describe its functions and benefits. They have different opinions about it but after hearing my explanation they seem to understand it. Aside from its function to prevent the poop smell, it also makes your butt washing refreshing making you exit the room comfortable. Magic can fix this problem but since they are ‘dragons’ so let’s keep the solution simple, practical and long lasting.
“That’s wonderful but we won’t dig you know”[Thoss]
“Don’t worry you will not dig it barehanded, you will use digging tools”
“Even so” [Thoss]
How stubborn, let’s use some words that makes him excited or in other words, words for the muscle brain.
“Is that so? I thought you will never back down in a fight, it seems I was wrong. You will just fight the land with a shovel you know.”
“Ah right, the land is my enemy this time, I will accept IT!!!”
Thoss finally took my bait, what a muscle minded person. And he is the one who asks for help about toilet problem but he didn’t want to dig, what an asshole. He seems enlightened with my words, ‘land is the enemy, use shovel to fight it’. The rest of the chiefs just smile but I bet they just control their laughter since they are in from of another chief, an idiot one unfortunately.
“Okay next is the disease problem”
I ask questions about this problem I asked the chiefs about it and they said that the disease will surface or will notice by others and by the dragon itself during dragon transformation but every clan have different symptoms. Weird, the disease will start when they are in dragon form but every clan has different symptoms.
I ask every minute detail of this disease and I think I confirm what it is and it’s alarming. They can stop the strange disease through healing magic but returns during dragon transformation. Mostly, the disease will start to occur one day after transformation, others especially the young ones takes 12 to 16 hours. Why healing magic cannot completely heal them or completely stop the disease? It’s because they don’t know what that disease is or to be specific, they have no knowledge what infect them. Its like giving a medicine to cold but you have a flu so it will just go back and it’s not good you know. Basic disease like colds or fever can be easily healed by healing magic because they have knowledge about it or they have experience on how to deal with it.
In this case, their healing is ineffective and the disease that infects most of them is a very deadly disease that cause nations to anarchy but that’s what will happen if they are humans but since they are dragons with incredible immune system, they have time to cure it. Even this disease is not harmful yet to these dragons, it evolves in an alarming rate and that’s what makes this disease a more frightening thing other than these dragons.
I need to cure it now and oh, the name of this strange disease or virus to be specific is ‘Evola’. Evola, a disease evolving virus that mimics as a friendly cell to trick the white blood cell, immune system, but at the same time studies the host’s body or cell structure to find a way to shut down its nervous system leading its victim to death. Thanks to my [World Knowledge], I easily identify it and it’s a deadly and slippery type of virus.
“That sounds alarming. please gather everyone”
“Why? What’s alarming?” [Habagat]
“The strange disease you mention is an badass type virus that evolves itself inside the host body leading to death, it cannot be healed by general healing magic. Its ‘Evola’ and please calm down. Everyone here is safe”
Halfway of my sentence they start to panic, because of ‘death’ but I ensure them that they don’t need to worry. I tamper the immune system of chiefs and people present in the meeting. I give some instructions to identify and destroy a deadly virus inside the body though my [Body Alteration] with the help of [Air medium]. With these their immune system will evolve and prevent any future attacks of this type of virus.
“We are infected an safe? Why we are safe? We have symptoms too you know! ” [Ipilia]
Ipilia, the chief of Dhahon clan, she has green short hair, green eyes but white skinned beautiful woman, If I refer her to my old world, she is a beautiful Czech or a beautiful European. It seems she is in panic but I told them that I use a special healing magic to counter the virus. I didn’t tell that I can tamper any parts of the body in cellular level, because its troublesome and, I don’t know what kind of ridiculous requests I’ve got especially the women when words circle around them in the future. The request may like ‘Please make my breast bigger or beautiful’ or ‘Please make me virgin again’ and you know what it means by ‘virgin again’. Ha, let’s stop this nonsense.
“Is that true?” [Ragod]
“Of course, so do we talk here or gather the people?”
“Lets GATHER!!” [Thoss]
Thoss, are you listening? Where not going to battle you know. What a pain in the ass bastard, I hope his wife is present here. Oh well, we go out of the castle and send word to everyone to gather around. After few minutes of lining up, chatting, sightseeing and resuming my moment in glorious foods, we finally able to gather everyone around here. They line up in front of me, waiting for further instructions. And I am the center of attention again, man, I’m nervous in front of the crowd with gaze expecting to perform a marvelous performance. What am I an idol? A celebrity? But I already did this last time. Man, I want cower in the corner. Please stop that expect-high-level-performance gaze.
Okay, I have few options on how to treat them. First is to be like a pope or a priest where every person gets in front of me to touch them one by one while saying ‘God Bless you’ like thing like an old man. Second is by group and lastly is by whole. I prefer the last option as it saves time but consumes a lot of mana but it’s not a problem to my low mana body, I just absorb the mana’s surroundings and make my body a medium and then do the magic.
“Okay everyone listen up but I want you to calm down. I will do a special magic healing to heal that stubborn strange disease. Okay everyone breath in, breath out, stomach in, stomach out”
As I said that, they eagerly follow my instructions. Good children. Very bright students. But I already finish my healing magic when I am speaking before. The thing about ‘breath’ and ‘stomach’ in my last sentence is not related to my treatment process; I just like it or love to watch them doing it. To make my show showier, I make my magic a soothing feeling making a relaxing feeling and glow some green in their skin like in rpg healing effects.
The green glow is just for show and the soothing effect is to increase the effect of immune system’s activity at the same time. And all it takes is one minute to heal these 12,345 dragons. All of them have smiling and satisfying faces. I do this so that the dragons will not notice that I tamper their bodies by boosting their immune system to fight the ‘Evola’ inside while showing a magnificent performance outside.
“Okay healing done, you can go home happily”
["is that it?", "just like that?","thank you", "My body, MY BODY!!"]
Different reactions I see and hear. Some are happy and thanking me, some are unsatisfied by the short time of my magic, and others are surprise or curious to my chantless and majestic show of my magic. Let's leave for now cause I will not entertain more questions because its a pain to explain it.
“Where are you going?” [Ragoniad]
“Home?”
“Our meeting is not finished yet”[Ragod]
Ooops, I forgot about the meeting, okay let’s resume but let me gather these foods first.
“Before we resume we want to reward you for the things you have done to us”
Oh, they’re talking rewards; I hope they will just give me material things not position or unnecessary things like that. Habagat is a handsome old man with white hair, muscle refined body and eyes mix with black and white eyes. What a weird eyes if you ask me. Unlike Thoss who is just a giant black or dark brown idiot bear.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
“For your great help towards us, the dragon clans, we are forever indebted to you, with that to repay our debt we reward you a special seat aside from chiefs” [Habagat]
“and that is?”
“Dragon’s Advisor” [Habagat]
“advisor?”
“Yeah you will advise us here and there if there’s a problem we can’t resolved and we will obediently follow you if you wish it and help of course” [Habagat]
“That’s a wonderful reward but I gratefully decline because I have more important things to do”
I don’t like being an advisor. It’s like a teacher who teaches and guides students and you will get a headache if one of them is like Thoss or Brovo, the idiot and bad ones. So I gratefully decline. They thought I will accept it by adding some sugary coated words. Only dumb people will accept it but really it’s a good thing, imagine you advise dragons and they will follow you but that’s only a wishful thinking for those who desire power. But I am not and I have a mission to complete.
“But-” [Habagat]
“No buts and ifs, I insist your debt is already paid by these glorious foods” [Joel]
The foods that they prepare even they are just simple fruits and grilled meat is very very tasty and delicious. So let’s gratefully decline.
“Is that so? What a shame. We want you to become our advisor” [Habagat]
Habagat, says it with sad face and with puppy eyes. Oy, your age and your expression is not compatible, I mean it doesn’t match. This old man really wants me to advise them. After that, they really insist but I gratefully decline it, so they gave up. Let’s not make some problems here shall we?
“Then, we discuss on what we do to Fiyaa and Shanino Clans’ next chief”
They talk for 10 minutes but no conclusion concluded. I, on the other hand, enjoying my moment with the glorious foods aside from my favorite eggs these are good also, the apple like fruit has more juice maybe I can make apple juice with this one, the orange like fruit has no seeds making me eat it in an instant without getting the annoying seeds like in my old world orange. And there are lots of foods that I enjoy while they are discussing about it. Man, I am ran out of supply, need to refill but I can’t walk out here yet since it’s a shameful or a disrespect act of walking out of an important meeting so I speak.
“How about selecting a proper candidate or you chiefs takes them”
They look at me with faces that they found a solution. Hey, what with that ‘aha’ faces? I have a bad feeling about this. I should not speak, damn.
“Then you will become their chief, no buts and ifs, just accept it. Take your responsibility” [Jesebell]
Huh? The chief of Thuveg clan which is a beautiful mature woman, I am mesmerized for a second, speaks to me. I feel a stinging painful glare coming from Ragoniad’s direction but she just there smiling maybe it’s my imagination or not. Whatever, I can’t confirm it yet.
She copy my line, copycat. They want me to become a chief. Me the chief? They must be joking right? Being a chief is like an advisor. Of course, advisor is the one who advises other people or guide them, a counselor or an consultant..Don’t tell me they want me to become a chief because of what I have done in the stage and the people, I mean the dragons, follow my instructions obediently. They said that there’s no punishment or they gave up being me a ‘Dragon’s Advisor’ but advising or leading other people is a ‘punishment’ you know, it’s a menial task.
“Wait a minute, why you need a chief which is younger and weaker than you?” [Joel]
“We’ll since you are the reason which leads Brovo to its death and some circumstances came up”
“You mean you want me to become the new chief for Fiyaa and Shanino Clan? I refuse” [Joel]
“You cannot refuse because that’s our tradition, even you don’t kill Brovo directly but you are the main reason behind it and this is our way of rewarding you of helping us. And from what we saw earlier and the Kilate Clan’s report about you, we now convince that you can lead them appropriately and please take responsibility ” [Ipilia]
At those Dhahon’s chief, Ipilia, a beautiful slender woman’s words, I can’t retort or say something. I almost forgot that they have dragon’s tradition and one of them is the selection of chief. Dragons can select a chief, one is electing his or her children, two is selecting a capable man and lastly, killing the chief to gain his position. But the last only applies if all other dragon chiefs agreed on it. It seems I hit the second and third one through these chief’s approval. That’s why they kill Brovo together so that they can invade this responsibility. Damn you chiefs, you pass a troublesome responsibility towards me.
But the last words, ‘take responsiblity’ making me a criminal who done a grave crime like I unconditionally pregnant a woman making me unable to escape but it’s not, I know about their dragon law, if someone can’t take responsibility they will be killed on the spot. These dragons have a strong sense of responsibility. Crap, I should just leave them be when Brovo was captured and ready to be killed by the Kilate Clan. I bet Ragod is happy now since he won’t take responsibility, how naïve of me. From now I should think critically and think 100 steps forward. And Ragoniad, please stop that fake smile of yours, your glare is too painful you know, and I know you’re jealous. But let’s finalize this impending danger or a tiresome responsibility.
“Wait Wait Wait, Me a dragon chief? I bet that those subjects of mine won’t agree me being their chief”
After my speech, a dragon servant comes closer to Habagat and whispers. Habagat nods after the servant's words. I didn't eavesdrop in their conversation because I know the word 'respect'.
“Ok here's the news, the Shanino and Fiyaa Clan decided their next chief. They ask you to become their chief, after your speech and your eye-catching performance. It seems they are please by you”
Ragod then points to a crowd where the Fiyaa and Shanino clan, kneel on one knee and bow. What the? They should not trust a stranger or rather they should know me appropriately. Oh, I forgot that these dragons can deduce individuals, it’s like they can do mind reading and intention reading. We’ll let’s accept our ‘responsibility’ and do some plans to make my burdens lesser and lesser. Maybe I can use, I mean help me in the future. Sorry about that. Okay, let’s avoid death and face it, maybe my boredom will lessen because of them, hopefully.
“Okay, I’ll accept but you have no problem on how I will manage them right?”
“Of course, no problem”
After that meeting, I gather my clansmen, Whoo I have subjects, that’s what other dumb people will say but to me they are just a headache, its like I am babysitting these dragons who were way older than me. Fortunately their numbers is 500. The Fiyaa clan known for their huge number, 3000, reduces to 500 because of some sort of civil war or dragon war last year. Most of their elders and warriors with a mindset of ‘they have enough of Brovo’s tyranny’ rebelled but failed costing almost two thousand casualties. They say because of medallion, the dragons attacked Brovo engulfed in flames and some were being completely enslaved, deeper in their soul, or enslaved their soul. They were scared when they see the medallion in my hands, twirling like a toy but glad when the medallion effects don’t activate when they tortured Brovo before.
Most of my clansmen are maiden,*cough* numbering 300 maidens in Fiyaa clan and 59 in Shanino clan. And I tell you that I am not building a harem because it will deplete my life force every day you know. Those idiots who wish for harem will regret that they can’t do the deed anymore once their life force was depleted. And harem is a troublesome route because your attention will be divided or worse it causes great trouble or worst, a catastrophe. There’s a saying that ‘Women are scary’ you know.
[Life force = s*men] [deed = s*x]
So the remaining 141 are the elderly and a handful of young male dragons. I asked them where the other single men are, they said that they participated in the civil war and died. They keep talking how dreadful or disadvantage they are during the civil war. I asked them how they were defeated; they answer me because of medallion. The medallion can engulf you to flames, enslave to a soul level and control the dead making them, the rebels, being defeated by Brovo, even he was disadvantage at numbers.
I asked them about the enslaved ones to where they are now but they just said that after the war he killed them cause he don’t want them in the first place. What a garbage bastard. Because of this, their numbers dwindled and these 500 were spared because they are the one who don’t participate in the war. And the remaining ones are not warrior or low level ones so that’s why he was desperate to look for manpower. What an idiot, if you don’t want to lack manpower just don’t kill those are enslaved. I want to revive them but the civil war happened last year so my skill can’t be use because of 40 day time of death restriction. Hah, I sigh.
Mhmm, even I know the effects of medallion, it seems its best to hear stories so you can picture what happen and what the effect is. Listening to them makes me feel pity, mercy and at the same time a little scared, if I didn’t jam the magic of medallion before, I imagine how many will be casualties now or being controlled by Brovo. That’s why Brovo wants to control Kilate clan but failed because of me. And because of my torture event he sees a very good opportunity to control all of us but failed because of me again. I’m glad he is done. Good riddance.
I talk to them for a while and discuss to the Kilate chief to temporarily rests my clansmen in my new property, Novasphere and the chief said that ‘Its your land, do what you like’. Okay, I take that as yes. We eat our share of foods first before we go. Some warrior dragons approach me, asking for my beautiful roundhouse kick and if possible teach them but I refuse them cause its troublesome and I told them that it’s a racial limit.
Racial limit means that other race can’t learn other specific racial skills. Example dragons can’t learn human skills and vice versa. That’s what racial limit means. They look disappointed and stop asking anymore questions. That’s one annoying group down.
“Hahaha I never thought you knockout me”
“Ah sorry about that I didn’t mean to harm you but-”
“Its okay, its okay, I’m proud that I was kicked by a beautiful kick and thanks to that I sleep soundly, Heck that is my first time that I slept well for hundreds of years. Can I ask you to kick me when I get to sleep?”
“Please don’t do anything that may shame your clan”
“Hahaha right, I was scolded by my mother. My mother is scary”
Soth, is talking about his experience of my roundhouse kick and asks to kick him again. Is this guy a gay or just an M. Luckily, I know how to deny him and it seems this mother of his is a scary person. He was trembling if he mentions his mother but I think it’s just a motherly strict love since he told me that his mother will become scary if they commit big mistakes only. They? So you mean the whole clan? From what I’ve seen before, I thought that his mother is the real chief of Earthos Clan instead of that muscle brain, Thoss.
Night is coming, I ate my supper in the dining room together with other chiefs and they pondered me with some questions. Like ‘how old are you’, ‘oh my how young’, ‘Wanna marry my beautiful daughter?’,
And they ask me questions on how far my relationship with Ragoniad which makes me and her blush a little, okay we blush to redness. They tease us until they satisfied, man is this really love?
“Are you really human? From what I know humans have racial level cap of 500 ” [Habagat]
“Yes a modified one”
“Modified?” [Habagat]
“Yeah to break the limit of 500”
“Oh ho interesting”
Habagat stroke his white beard saying that.
In this world, Infanadah, racial cap or limit is the level limit of specific races. This is like a limiter to protect the inhabitants of this planet. Humans have limit cap of 500 because they have weak body, and because of it they can’t take anything more than that or their body will soon deformed or become abnormal and soon they will burst into pieces of meat. Other races or the non-human ones can go up to 2000 as a limit cap, of course it depends on the race. Dragons are one of the strongest so they have higher level caps, more zeroes. Limit cap is the same as limit of one’s racial body, like a balloon if you pump more air, the balloon will explode. Like the body it only contains a limited amount of strength it can holds either physical or magical strength.
“The magic earlier, how you do it, I assume you have low mana inside your body. It's almost undetectable” [Ipilia]
Ipilia, the Dhahon chief, seems she can’t hide but to ask my magic a.k.a. tampering the immune system.
“Well there are many ways to use magic either by your mana pool, item or by surroundings”
“Like an elf huh?” [Jesebell]
“Ah more or less”
Elves are close to nature so they can easily absorb mana into it but I am not elf. Elves have higher mana pool and use the nature to refill it while I, have low mana didn’t use the nature or surrounding mana to refill me instead I redirect it outside using my body as a medium to make my magic or to be exact magic tricks. After some questions, we go to our respective rooms to call it a day.
But before I go to my own room, I ask Ragoniad and his two little sisters to stay for a while, here in the dining room.
As promise before, I helped the trauma of Ragoniad’s two adorable little sisters. I helped them through my [Body Alteration] skill; I modify the chemicals to be released in Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), a subsystem of Autonomic Nervous system (ANS). This is a survival system that release chemicals into our body and prepares it to flight, flee or freeze but due to this also, it causes fear or anxiety in unusual way and that’s what we call trauma.
This system helps us to survive but if someone was expose to an unusual scene or a traumatic experience, this system releases an abnormal amount of chemical making the word ‘trauma’. So to help these little ones, I adjust the level of chemical level to be released and offer them some courage words to help them overcome their trauma. To others, I just give them courage but I just altering something in their body and it’s a good thing if they misunderstand it.
“Thank you big bro” (2x) [Frey and Gale]
With that my day ends as a:
Consultant/Stage Master/Stage Mascot/Doctor/Healer/Advisor/Chief/Psychologist.
