《Evolution of the Skeleton who walked alone in a Dungeon》Chapter 0019{Dragon}
Advertisement
The next day, the time to leave had finally come. I thought of informing the king about how I was going to leave.
“Ahh, so you are going to leave huh?”, the king asked
“Yes, I am a traveller after all.”, I replied
“Too bad, the people of this kingdom really like you. Remember that the gates of this kingdom are always open for you.”, the king gently replied
“Yes, your majesty.”, I left after saying that
I did not feel comfortable to go traveling alone again.
Like, before I had to complete the entire dungeon alone, the undead did not really count as companions, even if they sometimes had more intelligence then the average undead.
Well, I did not have anyone that I could invite to travel with me. Then, I remembered I actually had someone.
I went to the cave once again.
“Hey, Crimson, let’s go traveling around the world.”, I barged into the cave and asked
Slowly opening its eyes and raising its head, “Don’t call me that, and what nonsense are you spouting this early in the morning??”
“Wouldn’t it be better to actually go somewhere and do something rather than waste your time away sleeping? Besides, you wouldn’t like to get fat, now would you? Also, you would not want to be known as the great dragon who slept until the day it died.”, I said
“……”
“You invite people to a group to hunt a dragon, not invite a dragon to make a group.”, the dragon spoke
“I really wouldn’t have if I had more options at hand.”, I replied while shooking my head
“What about my treasures?”, the dragon looked at its treasures
“Don’t worry, I have a spatial ring; I would keep them safe for you.”, I said

“I don’t trust you.”, it replied without any hesitation
“What if I gave you a ring?”
“Very well, I guess it’s time I see what changes the world has undergone through with my own eyes.”
Its colossal body started to slowly shrink
Like I thought it had a different form no wonder it was able to enter inside this cave
The dragon then transformed into a smaller size. It even made itself to a human-like appearance.
Seeing its human appearance, I was surprised, “Nope, I changed my mind. I am travelling alone; you can continue your eternal slumber.”
“You bastard! After I put so much effort into making a decision and change into a human form, now you think I am just going to let you abandon me?!”, the dragon complained
“I mean from how foul your breath was, I never thought you would be a woman and besides, just look at that face! How am I going to get any spotlight if I keep you around??”
“Even the moon shines brightly by reflecting the rays of the sun. Don’t worry, you would be the same.”
“No, I don’t want to be like that, let me just disfigure your face a little bit.”
“Do you really have a death wish?!”
“Nope, I am an immortal.”
“You want me to test it?”
“Nope let’s just go.”
“Wait, what about my clothes?”, the dragon asked
“Why would a dragon need any clothes?” I replied
“Do you want to give me something or should I just take off your clothes?”
I did have plenty of left-over monster skins form the dungeon. I used it to make some suitable clothing.
“Wait, what is this made of?” the dragon asked
“I made it from the skin of a dragon.”, I replied

“You are giving a dragon, clothes made from the skin of other dragons?”
“Do you mind it?” I asked
“No, I just thought that I had already killed all other dragons in this world. Where did you even find one?”, the dragon asked
“I found it in a room.”
“A room?”
“Just wear the damn clothes and don’t make me explain everything.”, I said
“……”
“Give me your hand; here is your ring and your treasures are inside of it.”, I gave her the spatial ring
“Where did you even get those treasures from? Some of them look outright ancient and valuable.”, I asked
“Some things are better not spoken out loud.”, she replied
“This seriously smells like a water serpents’ bones. Why do you even have the bones and skin of extinct beings?”, the dragon asked after she smelled the scent emitted by the ring
“Ahh, they just fell out of the sky.”, I replied
We left the cave, outside the cave, there was bright sunlight shining down upon us, “Ahh! The sun! How many years had it been since I came out of that cave? Now, where are we going to go?”, she asked
“I have no idea.”, I replied
“Did you seriously say that you are going to travel around the world? Even though you don’t even know where to begin with? Where did you even get the idea of travelling?”
“I read it in a book.”
“And when have you gained that piece of enlightenment??”, she asked
“Last night.”, I replied
“……”
“How about the idea that we go to visit the elves?” I said
“Why the elves?”
“I heard people say that they are strong.”
“So, what has that got to do with anything we were speaking about?”
“How about vampires?”
“Why???”
“Because they are strong.”
“……”, the dragon was blinking rapidly out of confusion.
“Then where are we supposed to go?”, offered Azrail.
“How about destroying some kingdoms?”, she replied
“Why would you even consider that?”, I spoke in surprise
“I am a bloody calamity dragon, that’s what I do…”, she replied
“I asked to travel the world not destroy it, how about you think of something else? Wait, I think I know where to go. Do you know which country’s symbol this is?”
“No.”
“Let’s go to the library and find out then.”
“But why, though? besides, you have a locket with a country’s symbol in it, and you don’t even know which country it is from? did you steal it or what?”
“Well, stealing might be a bad word for how I got this locket.”, I replied
It was the locket that I had gotten from the vessel’s previous owner. I was also curious about this body’s origins and how he obtained an immortal body. Besides, he said he’d been used until the end, so, some sweet little revenge wouldn’t hurt.
After some researching on the library, and extracting knowledge out of people
I did find out that it was a kingdom far to the east. It was also in an ongoing war with the elves.
“You said you wanted to destroy some kingdom, right?”, I asked
“Yes, but why does it even matter now after you declined the idea?”
“Lucky for you, I just found two kingdoms for you to do that”, I said with a gentle smile on my face

Vemödalen: From The Other Side
War is coming - And when it comes - And where it comes - And whence it comes - The living shall envy the dead One to carry their sword in the name of their goddess and lady, to protect their land and people against the threat of the wicked. They know their path to be the righteous one. One to roam the land, hunting for all apparitions, and be scorned by man and beast alike. They know their path to be an arduous one. One to wander the realm in search of power, to protect themselves and what they believe in. They know their path to be the only one. Writers note: The first chapter will set the standard in terms of mood for the remainder of the story. It also comes to no surprise to me that half the people who read the first part stop reading any further. It has quite a bit of the good ‘ol ‘ultra-violence’ mixed with a great deal of realism. As much as I could fit into it from my own knowledge and experience in the elite forces. The first few chapters will be slow, after, but starting from ‘Restless Destroyer’ the remainder of the world will start to open up, and when we hit ‘Adronitis’ the prologue is largely finished. The novel is well thought out and filled with hidden lore, culture, history. So even if my word choice appears random – it’s not. There is a reason why these chapters take as long as they do. Vermodalen is fantasy adventure, with magic and heroics in an as realistic setting as I could fit. Things are rarely what they seem, and the ugly nature of people bleed through the letters at the turn of every page. I hope you can give this story a fair chance, even if it isn’t immediately to your taste. Lastly, english isn't my first language. It isn't my second one either. So, if you find errors in grammer and spelling, wordplay and sentance building, do let me know, and you will be rewarded by a surge of dopamine that will be released inside your brain for helping someone whom you haven't even seen or heard.
