The crying.
Is it coming from here? or here? wait a second..... this is a labyrinth! these were the most annoying sh*ts in RPGs. i hated them, no! i despised them! i spent like 30 minutes going through a labyrinth, only to get sh*t loot. even with the "Hug the left wall" trick, i still spend a lot of time doing it.
So, i skipped the labyrinth. How? easy. [Code].
giveHenryBlack Phase MAX |
'Henry Black has acquired the skill [Phase]'
'The skill [Phase] has leveled up from LVL: 1 to LVL: MAX'
When i activated phase, i phased through the ground. it was scary. i literally fell through the earth. i used [Fly] to get back to the surface.
I figured out how to use [Phase] properly. i only phase a part of my body, then pass through the wall with that body part, then un[Phase] that body part then [Phase] the other body parts. yes, it's complicated and tedious. but it becomes incredibly easy once you use it multiple times.
There i go, phasing through wall after wall, until i finally reached an open space. there was an egg, a big egg. just imagine dragon egg, yeah. but dragon egg! but a crying one? well whatever, i guess having a pet dragon might come true after all. so, i put the dragon egg inside [Storage], and i [Phase] back. phasing is convenient, why didn't i get this sooner? oh well.
I reached the cave entrance, and i saw two bodies rotting on the ground. hold on, i'll just resurrect them, give me a sec.
After resurrecting Elgir and Rigil......
"wha!?" [Elgir]
"Master!" [Rigil]
"You guys sure die quick." [Henry]
"I-i'm sorry." [Elgir]
"well never mind that, i already killed the dragon." [Henry]
"huh? i thought you were making the dragon a pet." [Elgir]
"I did, but i accidentally killed it." [Henry]
"......." [Rigil]
"Master, no one "accidentally" kills a dragon." [Rigil]
"Never mind about that, look! a dragon egg!" [Henry]
I took out the egg from [Storage].
"Wha-!" [Elgir]
"Master, how did you get this!?" [Rigil]
"It was inside that cave the dragon was in." [Henry]
"Master, a dragon egg is a [God] level item!" [Elgir]
"[God] level?" [Henry]
"You didn't know about this master?" [Elgir]
"Nope." [Henry]
"There are basically 5 levels of items." [Elgir]
"These are [Common], [Rare], [Very Rare], [Legendary], and [God]." [Elgir]

Oh, so it's like an actual RPG.
"And master, you have just obtained a [God] level egg." [Elgir]
"Yes, i know that. but what does a dragon eat?" [Henry]
"Humans." [Rigil]
"Oh... any substitutes?" [Henry]
"None. all of the dragons that exist on this world said that they only eat humans." [Rigil]
"That might be troublesome." [Henry]
"How about drink?" [Henry]
"They said that water is fine." [Rigil]
"Oh. that's good." [Henry]
"Do they grow like in Metamorphosis? or like how us humans grow?" [Henry]
"They said that how you humans grow." [Rigil]
"Okay." [Henry]
"Master, why are you asking these questions?" [Rigil]
"You might not believe me, but i love pets." [Henry]
Yes, i love pets. whenever my parents were working late, our dog, Dalri, who was a husky, always brings a smile to me. and to my parents. and to my younger sister. and to my older brother. i really hope he didn't get hurt or worse, killed. Oh? you guys didn't know i had relatives? yes i do have relatives. or i guess did. they weren't killed though, my sister, who was 8, was still at school, and my brother, who was 22, had to work overtime, yes my brother still lives in our parents home, don't judge. their names? it's Jessica and Anthony.
"Um... Master?" [Elgir]
"........" [Henry]
"Hey father, should we..... do something?" [Elgir]
"I-i don't know?" [Rigil]
"........... Huh?" [Henry]
"Master?" [Elgir]
"Yeah?" [Henry]
"No-nothing." [Elgir]
"Okay then." [Henry]
"Let's go back." [Henry]
"Yes!" [Elgir & Rigli]
"Okay, 3, 2, 1, go- wait!!" [Henry]
"What is it Master!?" [Elgir & Rigil]
"I forgot to take a piece of the dragon." [Henry]
"Oh." [Elgir & Rigil]
Unfortunately, the ear was too big to be carried and shown to the adventurer's guild. so i just took a dragon scale.
"Okay, done. let's go." [Henry]
For real this time, i flied back to the capital and landed near the gate. i showed them our ID's and entered. i went straight to the Adventurer's guild, and GOOD LORD THANK YOU! no more staring! no more very awkward stares! YES! Yes! yes!..... i'll stop. i went to the counter having a smile on my face, and i greeted Asila.
"Good Afternoon Asila." [Henry]
"Hello Sir, and welcome to the Adventurer's Guild." [Asila]
"Um...." [Henry]
"Would you like to apply sir?" [Asila]
"It's me Asila. Henry Black." [Henry]
"!!!" [Asila]
"......" [Henry]
"..........." [Asila]
"Could i please have a sample of your blood to confirm your identity?" [Asila]
"Okay." [Henry]
I knew this would be coming. no one recognizes the fat guy once they're slim. but they have magic that confirms the identity by blood? or is it technology? either way, it's pretty advanced.
5 minutes later.....
"I'm terribly sorry sir!" [Asila]
"It's okay. i just lost some weight." [Henry]
"Yes, i can see that you lost "some weight" sir." [Asila]
"Anyway, we are here for the Rank S quest: kill the dragon." [Henry]
"Okay sir, please wait a moment while we get your equipment." [Asila]
"Equipment?" [Henry]
"Yes, S rankers are granted equipment for S rank quests." [Asila]
"Oh, i didn't know that...... wait, hold on! you don't need to." [Henry]
"Hm? why not?" [Asila]
"Since we already accomplished the quest." [Henry]
"........" [Asila]
"What?" [Henry]
"Sir, please refrain from making bad jokes." [Asila]
"It's not a joke. here's a dragon scale." [Henry]
"!!!" [Asila]
"O-Okay, pl-please wait a moment...." [Asila]
"Okay." [Henry]
Yup, i'm definitely gonna get some attention. i mean a LOT of attention.
30 minutes later....
"S-sorry to keep you waiting!" [Asila]
Alisa once again brought John the guild master back to greet me.
"Who's this fellow?" [John]
"That sir, is Mr. Henry Black." [Asila]
"Stop, joking Asila." [John]
"I'm not sir." [Asila]
"Oh. he lost a LOT of weight." [John]
"I know sir." [Asila]
"I'm right here you know." [Henry]
"Mr. Henry, here is the 200 gold for the reward." [Asila]
"Henry, could you come with me?" [John]
"Sure old man." [Henry]
"Elgir, Rigil, stay here." [Henry]
"Yes!" [Elgir & Rigil]
We entered a room, that appeared to be the Guild Master's office. it was a fairly sized room. i had a desk, a couch, some chairs, and etc. he sat down on his office chair, and i sat down on the couch.
"So, is it rue you killed the dragon?" [John]
"Yes." [Henry]
"......." [John]
"You know, i was one of the people that defeated that dragon." [John]
"Really?" [Henry]
"Yes, really. it was along time ago, back when it was my first time being an S ranker." [John]
"I stupidly went for the hardest S rank mission there was. and i almost got killed many times." [John]
"But, i was a persistent fellow, i kept fighting and fighting, and one day, i finally defeated it." [John]
"And about the time that i was about to kill the dragon, i hesitated. i was frustrated at first, but i finally noticed that, this dragon made me stronger, stronger like a was never before. so i didn't kill it. i didn't care for money anyway." [John]
"And when i heard that someone killed it, i was..... sad. but when i heard that you killed it, i was genuinely surprised." [John]
"So, why did you bring me here? unless you just wanted to tell me the story of you and the dragon." [Henry]
"The king has invited you for his banquet." [John]
"Oh, okay..... wait, what?" [Henry]
