“Umm, I don’t taste good! I’m only skin and bones. I only ate a centipede yesterday. So it’s better if you stoー stop!”

I backed off.

I was reincarnated with great pain, why do I have to go through so much effort to pick up my life back!

‘Curse you god of death for screwing me over!’ I screamed inside my mind.

“This one is picky with food. Who would eat something disgusting like you bastard? Do you think this one is a fool?”

‘Nothing like a talking fearsome Dragon tells you this is a fantasy world…… DAMNIT WHAT AM I EVEN THINKING AT THIS MOMENT’

“It’sー it’s not like that. Ahahahaha. In fact, I’m actually leaving now. Goodbye~ ” I hastily reply.

As soon as I said that I turn my shaky legs and began to run away at full speed. It seems like the other party doesn’t want to eat me and just wants me out. Then I should be able to escape. Since it was not my intent to invade the territory or domain of that person.

I’ve read this before but Dragons have always been creatures with extra amount of dignity present in them and they are very serious about invading their territory so if I’ve gotten this chance I should run as fast as I can before it can change his mind.

woosh woosh woosh

I heard a noise of flapping wings.

Sands was flying everywhere, and I reflexively closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, the Dragon was in front of me.

Furthermore, it had a look of anger on its face and those blood red eyes were shining.

‘ Why!? ’ I thought

“Do you even know who I am!?” the dragon asks me in a roar.

The roar was so loud that I could feel any second now my ears would start to bleed. Even when I cover my ears with my hands and roll myself up like a ball, it wasn’t helping me in a least bit.

Time as long as a single breath passed and finally the roar stopped.

“This one is called Hereon the Black. This one has lived for 10,000 years. This one has destroyed numerous armies and killed numerous so called heroes of many kingdoms. This one is the all-powerful elder Dragon.”

After pausing for a bit to see my reaction the Dragon continues.

“And are you trying to tell me that this one’s territory ends just ahead!? Everything inside the forest is my territory, a person cannot enter or leave. That was the pledge. Even so you bastard, are you still planning to acquire your food on this one’s territory!?”

The Dragon was practically roaring the second half of his speech. I could already feel my body feeling shaking in fear and my head in immense pain. The smell of urine reached my nose and I knew I had wet my pants.

This is the worst nightmare ever in my history.

“I’m sorry. My bearing was wrong for a bit. It is indeed still your grace’s territory ahead, therefore……” I replied while I tried my best to not show my fear even though it was apparent from my shaking body.

“Don’t lie! The pledge between this one and your bastard people has been just passed down for nearly a 100 years! Even little kids know it!”

Even if you said that, I don’t know what I don’t know.

The beast had a majestic appearance in spite of having a short fuse.

“Tell me a little more honest excuse. If you do so, this one might just let you live because I am very curious here. You look like a human but your silver hair and red blood eyes……. It’s something I’ve never seen before. ”

The Dragon said so as it scowls at me. A chill ran up through my whole body.

This guy intends to kill me. Just because I’m an eyesore.

I don’t have any excuses and wait a second, did he just said silver hair and red blood eyes? I never knew that’s how I looked. It was obvious the reflection on water in the first night I was here wasn’t clear enough to tell me these things.

But why red blood eyes I wonder? Doesn’t the Dragon in front of me have red blood eyes too?

“That…… Actually, I was reincarnated.”

“Haa? This one doesn’t understand the meaning.”

The expression of the Dragon changed. Its eyes were glittering and shining. I may actually die here.

“Well, you see, when I woke up I was already in the forest, I don’t even know why I became a kid. This is the truth you know? Please believe me.”

I knelt on the ground and begged. I want to be pardoned from dying this quick because I was reincarnated with great pains.

“Hmm……”

Whether my desperate kneeling worked, I felt that the Dragon’s killing intent had subsided.

The eyes of the Dragon shined red.

“Little one explain yourself more clearly.”

I don’t understand it quite well, but I do somewhat understand that the only way to survive is to tell the truth about everything, I’ve read that Dragons are wise so maybe he could understand my situation and not kill me.

“I was brought from another world into this world by the god of death on a whim of his. Other than that neither do I know anything nor was I told anything.”

Suddenly the Dragon’s killing intent disappeared completely.

“This one feel sorry for little one. Leaving from your hometown that you are familiar with to such a remote place, oh well, there is no method for you to return even for this elder Dragon. It is your responsibility to be picked by god of death. If you want to blame someone, blame your own life.”

I didn’t quite understood it, but this fellow seems to know something about reincarnation.

“Umm…… do you believe that I am reincarnated?”

“It’s nothing unnatural for the gods to do, they can do anything and furthermore when this one saw your eyes I felt something different from you so that explains the feeling I got.”

“What do you mean with my eyes?”

“Huh?”

The Dragon was puzzled as it didn’t understand the meaning of my question.

“Your eyes are blood red color even though you are only a human being. Only powerful ancient beings below gods like us Dragons have those eyes. The reason you have those eyes is because you’ve come in contact with the divine will of a god even if it was a very small amount.”

Hearing that I started to worry for my body. Where their any changes in my body I need to know about?

Seeing my worried face the Dragon replied

“There is no need to worry little one, your body is fine. Instead its stronger than regular humans so you should be happy.”

Indeed, it’s no use worrying now. I will probably have to steadily investigate it.

“By the way little one, you explained earlier that your soul was of an adult?”

“Yeah, it is. It’s difficult now, but what can I do?”

The Dragon grinned at my question…… It was really visible.

The next sentence of the Dragon sends shivers down my spine.

“Then I can eat you can’t I? Us Dragons enjoy the flesh and soul of our preys and eating a reincarnated person would be a first for me. I truly wonder how does it taste.”

Cold sweat starts to appear on my forehead. This is a really bad direction we are currently heading towards. I’ll seriously lose my life just like that and it won’t be a joke either. Am I to reincarnate and die this quick just like that?

I thought I told myself to do the extraordinary. The ordinary will tell me that the Dragon will eat me as Dragons are above all in the food chain.

But I can’t that happen. I will break the ordinary and do the impossible just like I promised.

The real question is what do I do?

There must be something I can use from what the Dragon told about himself. Anything can serve as a hint.

Remember the reason the god of death sent me here, it was to do something impossible that would even entertain a god.

Ah! I remember the Dragon did tell me it was 10,000 years old so if an immortal being like god can get bored so maybe a 10,000 years old Dragon might be bored too.

The only thing I need next is what do I need to do that can satisfy him and serve my purpose of doing the impossible?

Before coming here, the god of death did tell me generally about this world that there are 4 races that live here: Humans, elves, dwarfs and the beast kin. They have always been living separately in their own kingdoms for thousands of years. And that there was some huge war 100 years ago between humans against all the rest which the humans won. The humans achieved victory by a landslide and it was a total slaughter but that all I know about the background of this world.

Suddenly as I was recalling my memory I felt like a light bulb going up in my mind.

I just might know what I need to do in this world which would even amaze this fellow Dragon and save my life.

I’ve found the impossible.
