《Chronicles of The Dragon Empire: Rise of the Dragon King (Rewritten)》arc 1, Before the Summon: Out of The Base (Proofreaded)

(author's notes): Hey guys, Kuro here with one more chapter! Finally, after so much time, I came back with this fiction! I have been without time, but now i will be able to write something this weekend. For now, enjoy the chapter!
----------------------------------------------------------------
I looked to the ground, where lies the body of Markus Ikovich. Humans, so fragile. Um? What's that? A recorder? Oh, so he was making one of his logs eh? Let's destroy it for now, I have no interest in what this lunatic has to say, all that I need is the data on the main system of this base. Invade the system won't be hard, I heard all the passwords during my time here.
Also, I know there are vehicles somewhere on this base, made for transport on the glacial climate out there. But for now, I will need some more information from the scientists that are living here. They may have some information that is not recorded inside the main database of this establishment.
Also, I know that Markus has a bigger database on his main base on Australia, and I don't know if I can access that from here. If I can't, I will have to travel to his main base to delete and destroy any kind of information about his research and me, including the skeleton that he found.
I need to find the skeleton too, but it won't be that hard since it's stored here, no parts missing. If I can't destroy it, then I will have to find a way to hide it. I can't let such a thing fall on the hands of other humans, it's too dangerous to have something like me roaming around the world.
First, I will torture the scientists, I learned some good techniques from this place after all. And obviously, I hold a big grudge

against them. First, let's head to the living quarters. But first, let's check on Markus’s terminal, I may be able to find a map of this establishment on his archives. Let's se... ah, I found it. Wow, it's huge as I imagined, this fucker had a lot of money for sure. Let's get a better look at his terminal before leaving.
Oh! He manages his particular business on this base too! He also keeps his money here too, looks like he doesn't trust banks to keep his precious money. It will be very useful, but for now, let's torture the scientists on this base, there should be around 70 of them. I head to the living quarters in search of the scientists. It's easy to find them, since they stink of fear, and some of them even soiled their pants... gross.
Skipping the boring part, since I didn't feel anything from torturing them... a shame I thought. Since the death of Elena, the woman that tried to raise me, I feel the lack of extreme feelings. Maybe it's because of my adaptation? Well, not that I care though. Ok, thanks to my torture, I was able to get some extra information, like, Markus has some trust problems.
It’s not like that information was useful though. I feel like I lost some precious time... but whatever, since I killed all the inhabitants of this base. Ok, I know where the main operation room is, I’ll head there for now. While walking, I make some plans for the future. Of course i'm going to take Markus's money, since it will be extremely useful.
But I am in doubt in where I should go after this, Markus had some bases around the world, with various experiments in genetics, and I suspect of other human experiments, some really bizarre things. The closest base from here is... China, maybe? Or somewhere in Europe? I need to think of my own life too, I must keep my promise with Elena, and live to the maximum.

While thinking about this, I reached the main operation room. Excellent, now let's search a bit.

.
I see, now I understand. My body seems to have completely fused with the dragons DNA.Also, due to my fight with the guards. The greatest change was my regeneration rate, I can heal fast, faster than any creature, but it's slower than before, since my fight with the guards. when one bullet pierced my shoulder, it did not go too deep because of my tough skin, but it did make a good wound though.
A human would take a long time to heal, and I healed it in one hour. If I had the regeneration from my infant stage, I would be able to regenerate it instantly. Also, it seems that my actual fire breath is stronger than the usual, since I feel that my body has matured. It's a strange sensation, but I feel that I don't need to... adapt... anymore.
Regarding the cause of my breath, Markus couldn't find the reason, but I know that when I want to breath fire, I can feel a flame in my stomach, and then, I gather a lot of oxygen in my lungs. When I exhale , the fire on my stomach grows and mix with the oxygen on my lungs, lifting them and the air inside, making the fire breath.
Anyway, with all the information that I got and the security system deactivated, I can go to the lower levels and see the dragon skeleton.
(Lowest floor of the base, two kilometers under the surface)
Wow, it's really big, and all the bones are shining black. Looks like it's almost made of metal. Ok. let's see, I touch the skeleton... and I see something.A lot of images invades my brain, making my head hurt a lot. I see a lot of things, volcanoes, forests, creatures that don’t exist on earth, enormous dragons of various colors.
Also, I see castles, humans, small people, men and woman with pointed ears, humanoid creatures with tusks coming out of their mouth and pig face. And, in the end, I see a dragon, with shining black scales and golden, piercing eyes, looking straight at me. Then, the images stops and my head hurts no more.
Fafnir: What was that?
Then, looking at the skeleton, I notice a lot of cracks forming on its surface. The skeleton... is breaking! Before my eyes, the almost indestructible dragon skeleton becomes dust, and disappears...
Fafnir: What the fuck was that...
Why did it turn to dust when I touched it? What were those images?... No, I must focus on my escape now. I wasted too much time in here, I can find the answers later, but, for now, I must take the money and escape. I walk to Markus’s safe, that is one floor above the dragon. Using the password that I got from Markus’s terminal, I open the safe and take all the money stored here, around 5 million dollars.
Then, with all his money on my hands, I head to the surface.

Deeper Darker
Set in the far future when humanity has reached the stars and finds it is not the first to do so. Alien technology has been left behind by a long dead race. Ancient cities, abandoned starships, temples and fortified bunkers all contain artefacts and devices far in advance of what humans have been able to produce. Technology that feels more akin to magic, so powerful it can allow a single person to dominate a star system. But these relics of another time have been left well-defended and behind bewildering and impenetrable security measures.There are those who are compatible with the alien technology, who can augment themselves to face the evermore extreme protocols in the depths of the alien ruins, and by doing so attain greater power. And there are those who just want to sell what they find to the highest bidder.The rewards are high, but you have to be prepared to go further and risk more to discover the greatest secrets of a civilisation that vanished long before the first human walked upright. Secrets that could irrevocably change humanity’s future, or end it.
8 456First RE:Guards
Status: Never to return again in this form (But the characters shall appear in a rewrite) I used to be a fire fighter. The requirements were easy enough with today's technology. Machines did the heavy lifting. Artificial intelligences put together action plans with the greatest resolution possible. Most days were simple jobs, first aid on minor fires, cats stuck in pipes too fine for machines, or when alarms went off that normal security scans couldn't eliminate. Most of the time our only skill was being willing to go into dangerous areas and follow orders, only I died running into the latest in biological terror. A beast that spawned fire. I remember the pain, it overwhelmed everything. Now I've woken in a new sort of existence. One where the only creature to view is a little girl, and she needs my help. Isabella Brand. Izzy, my one light in world of darkness and pain. She has the makings of a mage in her world and I'm going to be her spirit animal.

8 198Major Naird's Fantasy
Major Naird and the soldiers of the Expeditionary Corps find themselves stripped of their memories in an unfamiliar world. They have one goal -- two, actually -- to set up a base and gather intel on the world they find themselves in. As they come across atrocity after atrocity, they set out to right the wrongs of an uncivilized world. Do you seriously not see the potential gains of exploiting an untouched, unmined, unpolluted world? Throw your 21st Century Ethics out the window and strap in, we've got a whole damn world to recce. Welcome to Warning Town, I'd like to warn any readers that this story will contain profanity, gore, and some sexual content -- not the good kind. The characters portrayed in this story may make decisions that are morally questionable.
8 179Continuity
I’m writing this all down because I don’t know what else to do with it. This whole experience has been so completely insane that I must record it so people in the future can understand what is going on. Maybe someday someone else can make sense of it. Maybe that person is you, I have no idea. JR awakens from a dream to find that he is late for work! When he tries to call in, he realizes that something is not right. That’s when his friend and co-worker, Frank, calls him and informs him of what just happened to their workplace. JR finds himself in a world that grows increasingly surreal with every passing day. There are basic facts about himself are missing from his memory. When was his birthday again? Taking place in Chicago in the near future, strange buildings, strange events and stranger people populate this world on the other side of the looking glass. JR is left to struggle with his new job and new surroundings, but luckily his old friend Frank is still there to help guide him. He makes many friends who have interesting takes on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. First alerted by Frank, JR slowly becomes aware of a danger lurking in the background that is gradually spreading despite the fact that no one else seems to notice it or acknowledge that he might be on to something. All of this combines to make the novel Continuity about fear, anxiety and paranoia in a perplexing world that seems to be both real and not real at the same time. Rumored to be about 15 chapters and less than 200 pages the novel is written in a first person perspective that breaks the forth wall and will either leave you laughing with delight or scratching your head in confusion, or maybe both!? The one thing it won’t be is boring!
