《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

Well she isn't really a hero yet, but I'm going to make sure she becomes one. After all, I'd really rather not be hunted down just for being what I am. Or maybe it's the murder and property damage? I'm not really sure what it is that sets people off.

8 237To Blunt The Sharpest Claw
The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases. With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers. This submission is the third title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet. Here's a quick recount of what's happened so far: When Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a Velvet Paw of Asquith, is ordered to investigate how a mysterious poet, the Ar'dath-Irr, is able to travel instantaneously around the world, two very bad things happen. Firstly, he meets Lydia, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, and secondly, the Ar'dath-Irr reveals he is intent on taking over the world. Although this second thing might be considered worse than the first, Oscar feels differently following Lydia’s destruction of a cafe, a library and his face in one afternoon. In comparison, thwarting world domination just seems easier. Along with Binklemitre, a fellow Velvet Paw of Asquith, and Lydia, Oscar infiltrates the Ar’dath-Irr’s realm of dark poetry to discover the dog not only intends wrenching the world apart but has no intention of cleaning up afterwards. As a result, Oscar decides it’s all too hard and goes home to have a bath. After lots of arguing and the sort of food fight that posh restaurants were invented for, Lydia and Binklemitre convince him that they must stop the Ar’dath-Irr for several reasons, one of them quite serious. A vibrant cast of characters collide as Oscar, Lydia and Binklemitre battle the Ar’dath-Irr and his disciples in an adventure involving exploding cafés and appalling hotels, car chases and inadvertent surgery, dreadful poetry, lots of arguments and at least one temper-tantrum, all of which draw the three into dark and convoluted corners of a world they weren’t aware existed. Moreover, any chance of sitting down and discussing things over some buns disappears when Lydia punches the Ar’dath-Irr in the face. This results in her having a psychotic episode and Oscar getting run over by an ambulance. Although Binklemitre suffers neither, he witnesses both, which is almost as dreadful, though not nearly so messy. An enormous battle ensues, followed by a dinner party and then everything explodes.
