《Evolution of the Skeleton who walked alone in a Dungeon》Chapter 0017{Name}
Advertisement
“So, you are a nameless dragon, who has done nothing more than sleep its entire life?”, I asked
“…”
“Ahh, so, how about the idea that I give you a name?” I thought
“Humph. A mere human like you giving me a name like that’s ever going to happen.”
“How about Crimson Chronepsis?”
“What kind of name is that?”
[You have named a Calamity Dragon]
“Now, even you have a name, yet I am here nameless.”
“I have not accepted that name yet!”
“Hey crimson, thought of any good name for me yet?”
“Don’t call me that.”
[You had already been granted a name during your creation. Would you like to accept it?]
“Granted?”
[The Devil had bestowed a name upon you. Would you like to accept it?]
“It says the devil had granted me a name. Do you know who the devil is?” I asked
“In the entire world, there is no supreme being who doesn’t know of the devil, but the one who granted you a name can’t be the devil. After all, why would the devil take any interest in naming someone from the lower realm?”, the dragon replied
“Well, it did free me from the trouble of thinking of a name. I accept.”, I thought
[You have accepted the name]
[You have been named Aamon Azrail]
“Aamon Azrael, it’s not that bad, but I hoped for a bit more.”, I thought
“Azrael, like the Angel of Death?”, the dragon asked
“Wow, that’s what it means.”, I replied
Now that I had a name, it was now time to make my name known, but how?
“Do you have any ideas on how someone can become well known?”, I asked
“Be a dragon, and then everyone will fear you?”, the dragon replied
“Well known positively.”, I said
“Hmm, do something that no other being has ever done.”
“Like?” I asked
“Kill the demon lord.”
“How about something that does not involve violence and hard work?”
“Create something that no one else has ever thought of.”, the dragon replied
“I said no hard work, wait, create something, hmm. Wow, I guess you really have some brains.”, I thought of an idea

“…”
“I thought of something, it’s nothing special, but it somehow goes against what people call human morals or ethics, but, in the end, it will do more good and with nearly no damage, so, should I do it?”, I asked the dragon
“What’s the point of having morals if it’s the very thing that’s breaking you? Doing what needs to be done is not always evil. So, what are you going to create?”, the dragon asked
“An antidote. Also, I don’t have any money to stay in an inn, would you lend me some?”, I asked
“Why should I?”
“I gave you a name, and you can’t even give me a few coins?”, I argued
“I have not accepted that name, and I don’t have any coins.”
“I can literally see your treasures shining behind you.”
“……”
I got some gold coins in the end. Now it was time to take the first step of making my name well known across the human lands.
Using spatial magic, I went to the centre of the kingdom and stood at the top of the palace.
“Now spread, Contamination.”
I did make some changes. The virus I spread was not life-threatening because if everyone died then who would know my name. It would merely cause the infected to enter deep slumber and make their outer appearance look like they are infected with a life-threatening illness. Still, they would feel extreme inner pain, but that was none of my concern
It was more like a life preserver because when a person who was about to die is infected, it won’t die until the antidote was taken.
After that, I went to an inn and rented a room for some days. It was finally time to take a nap.
The next day the virus had begun to spread, but it was still too early to distribute the antidote.
After a few days, nearly half the kingdom was affected, including the king.
Inside the palace,
There was a room, it was surrounded by knights and mages from behind the door, inside the room there were few people,
It was a bright room with a window from which the view of the kingdom could be seen

There was were 4 luxurious bed, in one the bed, the one sleeping was the king himself, he was infected
In the rest were the children of the king
“Why hasn’t the cure been made yet!?”, the prince shouted towards a guard
The prince who was standing was the only one remaining from his family who was not affected.
While shaking in fear, the guard replied, “I am sorry my prince, but the wizards are saying that they can’t figure out what the virus does, or even what caused it.”
“My father, my brothers and even my sister are now affected, look at how much they are suffering, and those damn wizards, even though they take so many donations, can’t even find a solution when one single problem arises.”, the prince complained
“Well, it seems even most of the high-ranking sorcerers got affected.”, the guard replied
Suddenly in the closed room, protected by many guards, a foreign voice was heard by the price
“My oh my, that does seem bad.”, I spoke
I had initially planned to start treating people within the kingdom, starting from the commoners, then let my name spread until it was noticed by the royal, then they would invite me to the palace to treat them,
But, then I thought nope can’t wait that long
So, I decided to directly confront the royals,
Being surprised, the price fell back, in front of them was a man who looked like a teenager,
“What? Who are you, and how did you get into this private chamber, and where are the guards!?”
I could see the room from the outside so, teleporting inside was no big deal
“Oh, I’m a helper just passing by, as for who I am that’s not important, but what I can do, is cure the disease, and that’s the important part.”, I replied
“A kid like you can cure this disease, where even the court wizards failed? What nonsense.”, the price spoke in disbelief
“A kid? You look barely eighteen, and yet you are calling me a kid. Besides, I am the same kid who could get into the king’s private chamber without getting noticed. If I wanted to kill anyone, I would have already done so.”, I spoke with confidence
The prince hesitated for a moment then spoke,
“If you can heal them, then do it, the kingdom will reward you, but if this is some kind of joke, then I am going to take your head myself.”, the replied with a serious face
“I did have a few conditions, but you don’t seem to be good at negotiating, so I am going to have a talk with your father instead.”, I said
I placed my hand on the sleeping king's head and took out the virus. Since that would have been too suspicious, I pretend to do a sort of ritual
The prince looked at me suspiciously, but the more suspicious thing was he just let an unknown person near the king, but that was none of my concern
The king started to open his eyes.
“Father, you’re finally awake, I was so worried something might’ve happened to you.”, the prince showed joy in his face
“What, what has happened to me?”, the king asked in confusion
“Umm, if your family drama is finally over, how about we start negotiating?”, I asked
The prince explained the situation to the king.
“So, the entire kingdom has fallen victim to this disease. At least we found someone who can cure it.”, he took a sigh
“Thank you for saving me.”, the king thanked me
“There is no need to thank me as I simply did what I could, but you do need to fulfill some of my conditions if you want me to save your kingdom.”, I said with a serious face
“If you can save my kingdom, then I shall fulfill any desire of yours as long as it is within my reach.”, the king said
“Ahh, thank you very much, I just have some simple demands, just some simple demands.”, I said

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
