《We reincarnated as a two-headed dragon!》Chapter 4: First battle
Advertisement
I'm sure Amelia chose the left side because she's curious about the noises we are hearing.
But it is out of the question to go in this direction.
“It's too dangerous, it's better to go right.” I said
“Huh? Don’t be afraid!”
“I'm not scared... Just cautious. Anyway, I control the body, so I decide!”
“It’s not fair! I propose that we choose in turn. If you refuse, I... I’ll Bite you!” She said.
“You will not dare...” I said.
“We bet?”
...
“All right... let's go to the left.” I finally said.
I don’t want to argue with Amelia for such a small thing. At worst, if the situation becomes dangerous I would turn back.
I walk through the forest while admiring these bizarre flowers in passing. They look like roses and are either dark blue or scarlet red.
As I advance, the roars are more and more audible.
I'm close. I can even distinguish two different roars. It worries me…
Should I turn back?
No!
Now that I have to live in this unknown world, I have to adapt quickly. I don’t know what the future holds, but what is certain is that if I flee before the first difficulty, I will never survive in this place...
Perhaps these creatures will flee seeing that I am a dragon. Although I doubt they will be afraid of a baby dragon...
I can finally see silhouettes through the trees. I'm getting closer slowly...
The scene that is happening before my eyes gives me a shock: two huge monsters are fighting each other. One looks like a wolf; however, it is at least two meters tall, has red eyes and long fangs. The other looks like a wild boar, but much bigger, he also has bone thorns on his back.
Fortunately, they can’t see me from my position. So, I'll... Take the opportunity to turn back! I know that I said I had to be brave and adapt quickly, but still, for my first fight in this world I would rather face an opponent of my size...
I'm about to turn back when...
“What are you doing? Let's attack them while they are busy killing each other!” Amelia told me.
“Are you kidding? They are huge, we have no chance against them!” I said.
This is the first time I’m seeing such scary creatures.
“You shouldn’t judge them by their size! Use the skill [Appraisal] and you will see that we have nothing to fear.”

Really? In doubt, I use my skill [Appraisal] first on the wolf, then on the boar.
Lykanos (magical beast) – level 3 – HP: 43/65
Pigane (magical beast) – level 2 – HP: 17/50
So, the big wolf is called a lykanos and the big boar is called a pigane. They are only level 2 and level 3...
I am now a little more reassured and ready to attack!
I approach them discreetly and plan the attack with Amelia.
We will use [Fire breath] simultaneously. I will target the lykanos and she will target the pigane…
While they are busy tackling, I surprise them by the side and immediately use [Fire Breath].
Flames come out of my mouth and Amelia’s mouth, burning our targets.
You have killed a Pigane : XP + 20.
Bonus XP from title « Baby dragon » +50%: XP + 10.
A screen informs me that the pigane died.
However, because of a lack of MP, the skill [Fire Breath] did not last long enough to kill the lykanos.
The lykanos is now on fire, it seems to suffer.
My attack caught its attention, it stares at me with its red eyes, then howls.
“OoooooooooooWhoo!!”
It is about to charge me by opening its mouth wide, probably to bite me.
Because of its injuries, it is not very fast. I easily evade its charge by leaping to the side.
I don’t have any MP anymore, so I can’t use [Fire breath]. That’s why I'm going to use the skill [Bite] which uses END (endurance points) instead.
I quickly approach the lykanos and bites its leg, Amelia does the same…
The lykanos falls on the ground, then we bite its neck.
Our fangs are deeply embedded in his neck. The lykanos struggles to make us let go, but we hold firm.
“OoooWhoo!!”
The lykanos howls with difficulty, then finally stop moving. Dead.
You have killed a Lykanos : XP + 30.
Bonus XP from title « Baby dragon » +50%: XP + 15.
The skill [Bite] is now level 2.
Congratulations! You are now level 2.
1 attribute point available.
1 passive skill available.
It was really an exciting experience, my heart (my dragon heart, I mean) is beating fast right now.
Wait a minute! It was the first time I killed someone, so I should not have found it exciting... This is weird… I wonder if Amelia felt the same as me.

I suddenly notice that the flames went out immediately after the monsters died. Even those who had started burning the trees and the surrounding area have disappeared. I don’t know if this is normal… I guess the logic of the Earth can’t be applied in this world.
“Haha, those two didn’t see it coming! As you can see, it wasn’t so complicated!” Said Amelia.
“Indeed, maybe I was too careful...” I said
“It's time to eat!” She continued.
As a human being, the corpse of this lykanos is repugnant to me. But as a dragon... I find it appetizing!
My human mind has not yet adapted to my dragon condition.
In any case, it does not seem to bother Amelia, who eats as if nothing had happened.
Since we share the same stomach, maybe I should let her eat for me...
No! I must force myself.
I approach my mouth of the corpse, eat a bite and swallow it quickly...
It's not so bad! It reminds me of the taste of beef.
While I'm eating, I'll take the opportunity to take stock of what just happened.
I learned from the skill [Appraisal] that these monsters were called magical beasts. Am I a magical beast too? I have no idea.
My level also raised to level 2 and I can apparently choose a passive skill, but I don’t know how to do it. I need to ask Amelia if she knows what to do.
“Amelia, do you know how to display the screen for selecting passive skills?”
“No, not at all. Randomly, I will say... Choose a skill!”
Choose a passive skill
Furious Dragon
Your physical skills deal 25% more damage (MOD PHY + 25%) when you have less than half of your HP.
Serene Dragon
Your magical skills deal 10% more damage (MOD MAG + 10%) when you have all your HP.
“I can’t believe it, it worked!” She said.
“Lucky us!” I said.
Well, let's think...
The skill [Bite] is a physical skill, while the skill [Fire breath] is a magical skill.
“We should choose [Serene Dragon], this will allow us to engage in combat with [Fire breath] inflicting more damage!” Amelia said.
I quite agree with her. The [Furious Dragon] skill is interesting, but the condition for its effect to trigger does not please me.
“Let's choose [Serene Dragon]!” I said.
Passive skill acquired: [Serene Dragon]
“We should leave this place now, I don’t know if the noise of our fight has attracted magical beasts.”, I said.
“Wait, there are still attributes points to spend ... Attributes!”
ATTRIBUTES
2 points available.
VIT – Vitality
5
STR – Strength
5
INT – Intelligence
5
CON – Constitution
5
HST – Haste
5
“Oh, you're right!”
Besides, I don’t know what these attributes are. So, I intend to use [Appraisal]...
ATTRIBUTES (DETAIL)
VIT – Vitality: Increases maximum HP by 10 per point.
STR – Strength: Increases maximum HP by 1 per point - Increases maximum END by 1 per point - Increases physical damage dealt.
INT – Intelligence: Increases maximum MP by 10 per point - Increases magical damage dealt.
CON – Constitution: Increases maximum END by 10 per point - Increases RES PHY by 0.01% per point - Increases RES MAG by 0.01% per point.
HST – Haste: Increases HP regeneration, MP regeneration, END regeneration by 0.1 per point - Increases SPEED by 5 per point.
OK... I understand now.
“I think we should focus on survival and spend the two attribute points in VIT” I said.
“I don’t agree. We should spend them in INT. With more MP, we can use the skill [Fire breath] longer!”
“Hmm... It's true that it can be interesting. In this case we can spend one point in INT and one point in VIT”.
You have spent 1 attribute point: INT+1
You have spent 1 attribute point: VIT+1
Great!
I am now looking at the 'Status', 'Attributes' and 'Skills' screens to take stock of my situation.

Waking Up
The story of Larin the Builder in the aftermath of Awakening This short story is the epilogue of Awakening, the first book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. This epilogue is a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers between books without being necessary to the main storyline.Waking Up follows the story of Larin, who is alive but unconscious after her ordeal in the Nine Hells. She awakens in A'lara City a few days later and recuperates under the steadfast care of her repentant friend Jorn.As she reacclimates to her waking state, Larin struggles with her gruesome memories of the Hells and her decision to conceal them from Jorn. This story answers the question, Is Larin all right? with a resounding yes, and some storms on the horizon.It also raises the question, What happened to her down there? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Falling Down, about Larin's ordeal in the Nine Hells. Praise for Waking Up and Falling Down: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great!The difference between Waking Up and Falling Down is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing.The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact.And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well.-- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★
