Am really a Dragon!

A come back with Guido

"Whatsst ari youh-"

"Don't you think is too overdue to continue playing the fool? Humans with their schemes, do you take me for a fool that doesn't have sights to notice you playing your flimsy tricks in the back scenes."

It would come as a surprise as two of us suddenly fall out of ' almost friends ' to 'cutthroat' enemies. But one party wasn't sincere right from the beginning.

It was a surprise, Guido had known either right from the start or through the course of our conversation that yours truly here was a Pure Bred Dragon, the main Azure Dragon that left calamity and desolation at his wake... or as I would like to pride myself for.

He had started sending an unscripted message with an Artifact before long. I should give it to him though, to remain calm and unflustered after knowing the truth. But his luck ran out right from the start. Blame his bad luck for meeting me.

A dragon eye is well known for its ability to decipher every illusion or hidden thing, the ability to trans code waves, see through lies, and could even go further to visualizing the mysteries of the world. It took one glance for me to realize what he planned to do.

"Be a good dog and stay put if you still want to live, and don't think of attempting to contact anyone or even use your storage bag. I've put a lock on all of them"

His face changed drastically at this. Fufu, you're finally getting it now.

“I have a question.”

“What is it!?”

He even had the mind to smile sheepishly at me.

‘Oi Guido, stop being shameless as my Master’

“How did you know I was the Dragon?” This was serious. What sort of sorcery did use to uncover my real appearance?

“Master Dragon, though the contour on your face was masterly applied, it can only fool children. I won't lie, humans are more intelligent than that”

‘Damn! How brilliant can they be? I rubbed stuff and ashes— then I added a bindi [1]! my disguise should be perfect! Children my arse. Am sure only odd balls like you can see through me.’

"Since you haven't killed me yet, it means there's something I have that you need? So, therefore, am still indispensable till then -" was his reply

‘You plan to bargain?’ I scoffed.

"Don't think too much, whatever I want I get. You on the other hand have only one purpose, to serve as a dog to me... Look at my eyes" I commanded, I see his initial struggle become lax till obedience as I activate my skill 'Fear' on him. immediately he looked back at me, I use another skill, one innate to me only... It could be called a bloodline technique, it is known as [ Rewrite ] and gave me the ability to transform a person's memory to how I see it, inscribing my imaginations to his memories. But this skill has its setback in the form of a timeline. It could be used once in every 100 years,

When I first learn this from my old Shifu (Japanese for Master), I had planned on starting my small world. Or at a smaller scale, a thousand plus harem of the world-dropping beauties.

My Shifu grinned, then bust my dreams with just a sentence.

“Fool. It's impossible. And even if it were, your Shifu would have used it on all the girls before you were even born”

My Shifu was a handsome middle-aged hermit. He was the epitome of a lustful, shameless bastard. He never followed after Warriors Code.

That's why my alter ego was washed off.

I only had to imagine myself dating his daughter, and my testosterone level hit ground zero.

‘Lost myself there..’

It was good there was another thing he taught me, Structural Disguise.

Simply by controlling a few facial bones and muscles, one can completely change his looks... Up to the point of changing hair color!!

‘The epitome of Plastic Magic that these humans pay millions for...’

Before long, I had become five years older by human standard, my hair took a redder shade of silver, and my face was filled with muscles like that of a seasoned warrior.

‘f**k! m-my Mana has run out!’

Minutes ticked by with both our eyes closed,

Guido was unconscious throughout,

And I wanted to have as much sleep as I could... as for the people in the cottage, it was easy to simply put them to sleep while I focus on this task. And finally, after three minutes, We open our eyes. Immediately though, my face crams up and changes to another look, one of disdain.

Guido spoke seriously

"Son, don't silly dally now of all times okay,? We will be late for the Marriage Selection. You know am not going to help you in any way, this is your fight now, get the princess hand in marriage, and everything would be yours."

The Immensity of the Castle left me astonished and gasping in the sheer terror. Although the Royal Palace that I had resided in Dragon Realm was more lavish than this, that was all it was to it. Mine was adorned with countless treasures which, true to our name; were stolen from millennia of Pirating and Plundering throughout the realm and even other realms.

The castle was truly lavished to bring out nature's beauty and all it had to offer to its fullest... But that was all it was, a beautified castle luxurious and perfected to the max.

The castle in front of me though, couldn't be relatively compared to mine in any fashion. It looked run-down and mossy with broken sculptures and momentums that told the passing of time.

But this castle even with the disparity had its charm that just won't stop drawing me to ogle it from every angle.

One look at it would tell you two things, one... Old! This palace regardless stood through the millennia mark and had been the resident of more than 14 generations of humans, all leaving their unique mark behind to spice up the place in every bit.

The second it is... Fierce! Though the Dragon's Castle towered several hundreds of meters higher than this, it still fell short when compared to the one that could ignite the Warriors' blood it me. The bricks alone were over six feet in height and the rods used on the gates and doors were thicker than iron pipes. The combination made a castle that could be called a Monstrosity, Everything about it screamed Danger, Ruthless, Bloody.

A castle such as this is the perfect place for a Dragon like me.

"It was said that this castle was made by Cyclops from the underworld and Towering Giants... It should be a rumor since these beings have been lost in the river of time, only stories dating back to tens of millennia ago still have records of them." I said to my partner in crime... Guido, who I brainwashed Into believing I was his Son. It came as a blessing to me that Skills that I had learned in boredom would be the very lifeline that made me escape my early demise.

Right now I was weakened because of the former incident that drained all my Mana And Spirit Power. Except for a little Mana that could enable me to perform some party tricks, only my sturdy body was worth mentioning.

"Shhh, Rudeus! don't mouth off things that others find hard to chew [1], You

saying the Giants don't exist is paramount to professing blasphemy, saying that the core of our belief, which is the Castle Kaiser was a fragmented piece of Stories formed to give it the aspiring name it has today."

"That's not what I meant though," I grumble silently.

Why did I use my real name openly in this realm? Because one, I find it tiring to figure a name cool enough to fit my taste and also not too flashy or too common so I don't have to share it with several losers.

The second was that This name was only known to Dragons and the two realms that I had conquered before. It was naive to think that someone in this Human Realm could link the current me to the dashing dragon that almost defeated the entire Realm hours ago.

"Right... Guido, Why are we moving this fast to the castle, in my calculations should there be a few days rest or even weeks for the afflicted to lick their wounds? why is everything still so Hyper?"

I also made him believe he was used to hearing me call him by his real name, instead of some weak s**t 'papa'

“I've grown fond of you Guido. And can't bear to kill you... Yet”
