"You are quite a weird human"
"you are just 11 years old, yet your origin level is 3, the wisdom in your eyes does not match with your age, the aura of innocence around you to is confusing"
"what can I do, I am just that special"
I just shrugged my shoulders to his assumption, the guy's already dead, even if he sees my real character nothing he can do
"Indeed you are special, you even got to earn the affection of a dragon...though right now she hasn't awakened yet"
saying so the golden-haired man looked into the stone as if he could see into it
"This lass is not bad, she would be a great dragon in the future"
after speaking so, he looked at me intently, causing goosebumps to rise in my body, I quickly moved my body back
"what do you want old man?"
putting a distance I looked at the man warily, what the hell does this old man want?
"don't be scared young man, your talent is indeed great, seeing that this lass had already chosen you, I would give you a small gift"
after saying so the golden-haired man raised his finger and something shot into my face, I tried to dodge but that light was too fast, it hit my face and entered my body
suddenly I could feel the origin level in my body increasing at a rapid rate, astonished I quickly sat on the floor, closing my eye's I tried to focus on the rapidly increasing energy
after a minute I broke through to origin level 4
according to my estimates, I needed at least 2 more years to break through, Turing to the man I gave him a bow
"it's no problem, just count this as an investment"
confused, I was about to ask what he meant when I saw that he was becoming illusionary and disappearing
"don't worry about it young man, my time has already passed, this is the era for your younger generation, enjoy it"
after that, he completely disappeared from the world
'damn, look's like I made some profit'
after that I just sat down on the ground waiting for Scarlet to appear, it was only after 2 hours that something started to change
the rock in the middle of the lake started to shake and crack, after a few minutes it exploded, a bright light shone into the sky and an overwhelming pressure started to be exerted
in the middle of the light was Scarlet who had some minor changes, her brown hair had turned ash-grey while her golden eyes now had slits in them
her previously pretty face became even more beautiful, as for the main change
species: human/Dragon
Power: imperial rank 1
Title: the little thief, the lost pride, the awakened
she just jumped from nobody to one of this worlds powerhouses, and I am pretty sure that she had not completely reached her end
she just had to awaken to become this powerful, while I had to risk my life to earn my power, the only consolation is that this powerful girl is mine
after the light had disappeared she fell into my arms, I could see that she had fainted, it was at this time that a man appeared in front of me
he had golden slit eye's and grey hair, as soon as the man arrived I could feel a great pressure on me, pressing me down, I felt like I was being crushed
but before things got worse the pressure disappeared and the man was just in front of me, Scarlet was in his hand too
'astonished' and 'angry' i tried to attack him
but before I could do anything I was suppressed
"calm down child, I am Scarlet's father"
"Scarlet whose that?"
I replied 'surprised', seeing my expression the man became surprised, he then looked between me and Scarlet
"damn, you're an idiot"
sighing the man shakes his head, it was not his duty to involve in her daughter's affairs
saying so the man threw me a medallion
"that's my caller, as thank you for taking care of my family, when you need help just pour your mana into it, I will arrive to help you"
as soon as he finished talking he disappeared, leaving me alone, who sat on the floor
"oh, that was a close one"
it was demanding on me to play my act in front of that dragon, after all a small mishap and he might notice something wrong
smiling I laid down on the grass, I am sure that Sara must have also been taken, with this the journey in this area is over
standing up I stretched my body a bit and relaxed, I looked up to the sky
"there is a lot to be done"
