《Tourism Record of the Origin Dragon》Record 023: Titles
Advertisement
On the paved road connecting the town near the Origin forest and the Northern Kingdom's capital city, four uncanny individuals are running like flying. Their figures are blurred due to the speed but anyone can clearly see that they aren't a group of human because there is a huge brown blur along with two other green blurs.
"I've never ran this fast before." The only human in the group says in excitement. He has trained mainly in STR and VIT with a tiny bit in AGI and DEX.
In this world, Speed isn't that important despite its seemingly overwhelming effect. When someone wants to move fast, they can hire a Speedster who can cast Wind Walk to share Speed with them. This skill might sounds overpowered but its effect only works for moving and will dismiss when doing something else.
The brown streak running behind them is a huge wolf. He wants to say how pathetic this human is to not know about their world where Time seems to be slowed, but all he can do it barking incomprehensibly.
"Brother iss aw.. awes.. great!" One of the two green streaks - lizards, the older one, says. He can't pronounce 'awesome'.
Being a Ranger, he has also trained in DEX but neglected AGI for SPI. Because he was born with Green scales which represents Nature element, his parent had decided that he would be a Ranger and had him train in DEX. Luckily, before they wasted his Stat Limit on training AGI, they found out he had second aptitude to Earth when he accidentally cast Earth magic as he mimicked the tribe's druid. A Nature-Earth Ranger means a Trapper Ranger, thus they had him train in SPI, a mandatory stat for Trap Skill and Magic.. As for why his parents had to decide everything for him... his intelligence is lower than the average lizards.
"Don't compliment me if you can't speak properly." Despite being the younger brother of the other lizard, the Speed Ranger doesn't seem to have much respect to his older brother. After all, they are only one year apart.
"Aww... meany!" The older lizard speaks in a childish manner.
Since young age, they had trained DEX together but his brother had always had a few more points than him. Then when he trained SPI, his brother had helped him a lot, to the point the Speed Ranger gained a few useless points in SPI, wasting his Stat Limit. The older has always felt guilty about this but his lacking intelligence doesn't let him express his feeling in words well. Still, he always acts like he is the younger one as compensation for that.

"Yet you complain well." The older lizard sighs quietly.
Although they are running at wind-breaking speed, due to the effect of Wind Walk, they don't feel any pressure nor have their voice muffled by the raging wind. In fact, they are almost running on the wind itself.
"Aww..."
"You two have been quarreling every now and then. Do you even remember why are we heading toward the Northern Kingdom capital?" The bare-handed fighter runs to in between the two lizards.
"To resscue the Dragon of Ge..gene..." The older lizard tries to answer that rhetorical question.
"Dragon of Genesis." The younger continues his brother's words in annoyed tone.
"I still don't get why your kingdom calls him like that. Doesn't that word also mean Origin?"
"The reason why we call him Genesis instead of Origin comes with a history. If you visit one of the kingdoms in our Alliance, you can find the reason in any big Library."
"I don't think I can live that long... After we rescue him, I will be his Exp..."
"You are despicable. That honor is only reversed as the highest reward, yet you begged for it." Despite his accent, the lizard's mocking tone is clearly delivered.
"I didn't. It was offered to me!" The human frustratingly explains but his word is ignored. The wolf snickers quietly at the thought that the dragon would let it eat the human.
"Gene.. Gene..." The older lizard is still trying to pronounce the words without success. "Why hiss name.. hard to.. ssay?" After awhile, he voices his complaint.
"Brother, stop trying." His younger brother bluntly says.
"It's not even his name.. Speaking of which, I don't think anyone knows his name."
The scenery flies like an arrow as they run in silence again, thinking about his Name.
I'm back at the Endlessly white space after "visiting" the knight I killed in the Endless black space. Although it seemed to be impossible to communicate with the soul I absorbed, the former knight's soul didn't make any trouble to me. Also, the monsters' souls didn't show up on my scale anymore. I shuddered at the thought of them being inside me...
Now I'm staring at that woman. The so called Goddess of Life. I can't chase her out of my mind in direct way so I try indirect way: Staring at her to make her feel uncomfortable. But that doesn't seem to work, she keeps rambling on and on about this and that. She doesn't have anyone to talk to, does she?

Because she purposely talks to my mind and from inside my mind, I can't ignore what she said and ended up remember almost everything.. "Stop filling my mind with these useless information!" I screamed (roar) that at her a few times but she ignored me. That's so unfair. Though our conversation this time went well unlike the last.
"You have so many names. None of which you consider your real name, although there are some you keep reusing." She mentioned a sensitive topic (to me) so I ignored it. "We of this world don't know how to call you. The human call you Origin Dragon. Some races call you Genesis Dragon. The Demonic and Spiritual creatures who live on Mana call you Mana Dragon..."
Because I keep ignoring that topic, she switch to complimented me for the vastness of my memory. She tried to read my memories in the pass dozen of thousands years but it was endless. Her life is a grain of sand in comparison to mine, an endless ocean.
I don't even remember how long my consciousness has been existing, traveling from dimension to dimension. I have to archive my memories in the form of Singularity in an endless 4-dimension space, giving each Life I had a coordinate. If I hear a "coordinate", I will recall it, though I'd never do it myself. To me, the past should stay in the past...
"You secretly gave the coordinate to those you loved, like..."
"Don't remind me of my past's incarnation!" I interrupt her.
Despite saying that, I recall my most recent life. A wife who died early. A son who had a happy family. A grandson who visited me every now and then, who loved watching me and his dad playing tennis. I promised to teach him playing tennis when he get older although I knew I'd die very soon. He wanted to be the best tennis player in that world... 12000 years... They are all gone just like any other family I had. It's the price of immortality.
"It's different now." The deity responds to my thought. "Your descendant in this world... As long as you stay, they would all be immortal."
"Nothing lasts forever." I reply bluntly. "I will leave, someday."
"I doubt that. With your power to travel between world sealed, you can't leave this world even if you die. So, don't even think about it."
"I will kill myself, just watch!" I say and try to raise my arm, planning to pretend to bite it. However my arms feel so heavy as if something is pressing on them.
"Oh no you don't." The high-priest says.
She did it, again. Snapping myself out of my dream just as I'm about to say something.. dangerous.
I'm laying on my belly, my head is using my arms as a pillow. I vaguely remember when the priest voodoo'd me to sleep.. How long has it been? They had removed the cuff on my wrist.
Open my eyes then lift my head up, I notice that I'm still in the cage. It's night and the weather's temperature is relaxing. Looking forward, I see a huge lake with various boats from small to big is docking around a bridge-bay.
The blue moon and the red moon are both at zenith, reflecting beautifully on the lake's surface. I am amazed at how the two moons seem to phase through each other like ghosts. Like a Venn's diagram, I can see two complete circles, one red, one blue, and a purplish area where the circles intersect. However the two moons don't seem to be completely overlap each other tonight. I guess that when they do, it would be something similar to an Eclipse.
The deities did a good job making those Celestial bodies, Water and Reflecting physics. I didn't create Electromagnetic field, so how does Light work?
"Beautiful, isn't it?" The high priest who is standing in between two of the cage's bars speak. I can only vaguely see his tiny silhouette but I'm sure he is looking toward the lake. "If you leave, this lake along with those beautiful moons will disappear."
Ah, now he is trying to convince me to stay using the nature's beauty?
"Not my fault."
"I'm not convincing you. Don't try anything funny though, or we would have to lock you to the point of immobile." He suddenly changes into the more scary tone.
I ignore him to not ruin my mood and also this beautiful atmosphere. I ignored a lot of things today, didn't I?
"Speaking of which... What should I call you?" The high priest suddenly asks.
Ah, not again!

Disclaimer: This story is intended for adult audiences. You should not read this if you are under the age of eighteen. "I was born with an extremely prestigious but combat-weak logistics class. As the son of the clan head and the next heir, that just wasn’t enough of an excuse to spare me from my father’s grueling training. For in his creed the only strength that mattered was that grasped in one’s own two hands. In my journey through the lands with my harem, I was grateful for his training as it saved my life multiple times when my girls weren’t there to engage in combat. This is my story."

Disclaimer: I'm not continuing this story. Check out Azarinth Healer, it's a more current story where I worked on a lot of things I found wrong with this one. Main character is somewhat similar as well so if you like Eleonora, you'll probably like Ilea. I still invested a ton of time writing this so check it out if you feel like it. There's gonna be 20 Chapters 39k words total. Hey everyone. This is a story I've started writing like a year ago and thought why not post it now. This story is about fighting and magic in a pretty standard fantasy world. The story follows Eleonora through her daily life in Duneswatch and on her way to become an adventurer. No secrets here, it's pretty generic. Should be decently paced so just give it a shot if you want to. I'm not gonna sell it to you in this quick summary. The range of writing on RR is so wide we both know you just have to give it a chapter...or a paragraph depending on how unique the grammar is. Please do criticize harshly. I'm definitely no writer but everybody can improve with pointers in the right direction. Don't expect regular updates.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
