Day 14

~Dracul 1st Pov~

As I was eating the thing that's clearly bigger than any deer I have ever seen on earth. I remember I didn't pick the rest of my mutations. Looking at the menu for few moments. Looks after picking my mutations, the next +5 will take 100 biomass points... each!

Depleting my magic earlier, I felt stronger and more magic-rich than I had before. But I'm still at 100 mana points.

An example would be a small lake. The lake is still the same size, but now it's deeper.

Is this one of those 'that which does not kill me makes me stronger' types of things? I pondered. I picked out some really good ones.

I changed the yellows to borders to green. After picking the mutations, I looked around to see Blossom and the rest of the tribe.

The males are massive and brutish-looking creatures. With a variety of hair colors; black, browns, blues, reds, and purples. The males with very long hair and unusual facial hair. The few females seem to have an eclectic hairstyle.

They also have black tribal tattoos on their hands, arms, and legs. For some reason, they speak with quasi-Caribbean accents.

Which was awesome! Me, Kuzco, Desmend, and Arthur are from the Caribbean, so it's fantastic.

As I sized them up, one of them came up and greeted me. I think this is bloss brother.

"Welcome to the world of the living boss! I'm Crash!" The almost seven-foot-tall dude said to me.

So in the seven days I was checked out, these guys have been fixing up the castle and been out hunting.

Naming a monster really does make them evolve. I remember MMORPG's about named monsters.

"So Crash," I said, "How are you and your tribe like being on Warfang?"

"Love it, boss!" He shouted. "I brought you Mega Zebra that you are eating right now! It was a hunted by a method pass down by the history of the Mojo Tribal Goblins!"

He is definitely Blossom's brother.

"Nice work!" I said since he seemed to be desperately fishing for praise. "Now, get everyone here before Rumi drags me off."

"Yes, boss!" Crash saluted me and went to gather everyone.

Turning to Rumi, I asked her some questions about the dragons and dinosaurs.

"Well, my Martio. The dragons have formed a team with each other. I assigned them to be fierce warriors. The Dragon's Dogma. They operate from an extensive facility carved into a rocky desert area near here. It comprises multiple structures and features what Dasi called a helipad."

A helipad? Here?

She continued. "After meeting them and test out their skills. They are inferior to our power, but they make it up by being Combiner Dragons and with vehicle modes with Fire, Thunder, Wind, Ice, and Light attributes. I made sure they know who the boss is."

They actually challenged Rumi?! And I thought Kuzco was the most reckless bastard I knew.

But dragons that can transform into vehicles? Again, I can't tell if that is most excellent or very weird.

"They consist of: The tactician Onslaught (leader) who wields the power of fire and is the (torso). The violent Brawl who is rage incarnate but is intelligent enough to act as overall ground commander. He is the (left leg). The egotistical Blast Off. That one made the mistake of pissing me off. Now he knows better. He is the (right arm). The money-loving Swindle. He wants to establish a trade market for us. Acts the (right leg). And finally, The unhinged Vortex. Much to my anger, he isn't much of a fighter. But is knows to fight dirty, so he lives for now. He is (left arm). They combine to form the highly powerful, Gyrodon." Rumi finished.

Wow, she is already a better leader than me.

"Next are the Dino Commandos. They are rowdy, arrogant, lowbrow, belligerent, bullheaded, devastatingly powerful, and close-knit brutal commando unit. I thought dinosaurs were useless until I met them."

Ok, time to pause this.

"Are we going to war?" I asked. Causing the way she is addressing and using those military terms is making me worry a bit.

"When someone captures a Camping monster. They will get attackers out of the woodwork. So get ready for more tedious shit. By the way, make to check mission control for your objectives that our R.O.B fucker sent us." Dashi explained before going back to sleep on my head.

"You meet the leader Rexy. She is a tough girl who knows better. The rest a Triceratops(Mandy), Apatosaurus(Zoe), Stegosaurus(Fiona), and an Indominus rex(Terry). They are girls. And they are strong!" She said with a proud smile.

Is that sexist?

Why do I feeling that this is slowly being a long war type game now?

I hope I never did beat Long war 1 or 2.

Hearing voices, I turn around.

"Looks like everyone is here," I say to Rumi. "Let's hammer out the roles of this place. Rules, as everyone knows, are a must to maintain a communal society. Also, because I fucking said so," I stare at everyone.

"Now listen up! " I shouted, knocking a few hobgoblins over with the shockwave.

Cool, and it kinda hurt my voice. But fight through the pain.

"Everyone here? Alright! I have some rules to give ya! Four, to be exact. The bare minimum I want all of you to follow."

And so I laid out my standards:

First, follow my orders and Rumi's. Second, do not kill among your comrades. You can fight each other but no killing. Get stronger. Be excellent to each other and Party Dudes & Dudettes. DO not attack Humans! If they try to kill you, then you then can kill them.

I could've gone with more, but meh.

"Sir! permission to speak!" Onslaught shouted. "Why are we not allowed to attack humans?"

Even Rumi was curious about my order.

"Because humans are crazy, and I don't want to deal with their shit."

I damn well know how dangerous humans are.

"Understood!"

You...do? Well, that was easy. I couldn't read a single hint of dissent on any of their faces.

"Well, is there anything else?"

"What do you mean by 'Don't look down on weak species'? My name is Mandy."

"Well, all you guys are freshly evolved, right? So I'm saying don't get a fat head and start thinking your hot shit and lording it over all the weaker species. Just because you're all a little better doesn't mean you're some high-and-mighty race now. Sooner or later, more like sooner with my luck, our most horrendous emulators will get just as strong-or even stronger- and they'll want to get back at us." I informed.

I had the ears of everyone in the audience. "Inf fact, ever since I was born. I have been in fights all my life. There wasn't a day I didn't fight something or get many resistance skills or even went to sleep without passing out."

Getting an idea. "Hey, Rumi, we need mooks, right?" I asked her.

"Yes, we do."

Judging by the smell of this place. I can tell I'm back in the swamp again.

"Everyone go train. I want you all ready for a tournament." I said them.

"Yes, Boss!"

"Alright, Commander!"

I hear two different replies at me.

Now that everyone is gone. I can eat some more.

But Rumi has other plans.

She finally let go of my tail and made me face her.

"From this moment onward, you're my responsibility. You are to train with me every day; I will teach you how to fight like a Dragon."

"Right... So, what do I need to do...?" I can't run away from her. The chains won't let me.

"Know this, Martio. As a Dragon, you are expected to live, fight, and die. If you are strong, you will live. If you are weak, you will die. As such, your training will reflect that."

"Wait, wait!! But I still don't understand the process involved." I quickly stop the evil smile on her face.

"I know. So you better figure it out quickly otherwise... You'll die," Rumi said to me.

Well, more like promised to me.

I moved out the way when she'd right to punch me. Breaking a large area of the floor.

"Hold it, Hold it!! Isn't this a bit dangerous?!"

"You will fight me every day, and I will strive to beat, hammer, claws, and blaze you half to death every day." She said joyously.

"I refuse!"

"You don't have a choice, and don't think about holding back on me. Because I won't. And trust me, I won't," Rumi said. Her fangs flashed, her paws flashed up as I saw her wickedly curved claws. They looked wicked and cruelly sharpened.

"But I don't want to hurt you!" I protest some more.

"That makes one of us," Rumi added sharply. Some kind of thin smile played over her face as I felt the sadistic grin on her kissable lips.

...

Now listen here libido filled brain. I'm a former human, so don't start perving a cute dragoness!

Arg! Oh, come on!

"Let's get ready! Now!"

"AAH!!" I got dragon punch in the gut.

"Oooooooo! You're unlucky ass got 200 damage just now!"

Why does a four-legged creature need to know martial arts?
