Daily Life Of Dragon King In Another World

I cupped my chin and stared outside, looking at the baby clouds drifting among the blue sky absentmindedly. It has been six years since I have been living in this terrifyingly technologically advanced world and I still couldn't help but widen my eyes when I looked at them.

I chuckled to myself when I heard of a little boy's constant attempts at calling me. I turned around and lightly smiled. I used to allow myself to disappear into the sky, continuously escaping from reality. My mind is blank but busy in wonder at the same time.

I would go to other places, create a world of my own because I felt that my world is spinning and falling apart. There's no point in anything I did but I had learned to survive by experience, instinct… and also by her.

It's honestly hard to always maintain a positive mentality, a façade that I always wore because no matter how much I tried, I couldn't stop it. I have dreaded the emotion that haunted me.

[Ryuga! Let's play!]

[Yes Yes…]

In truth, I knew… I was not alone but I listen to my heart's rhythm which is beating in my ears, and the voice that kept telling me that… you should just rest already. Close your eyes and everything will disappear into nothingness.

She had told me that I was alive. I have organs that are perfectly arranged inside my body to keep me alive, I have everyone to keep me alive. So, I should be alive but… here I am, in a totally different world after ignoring her advice.

Though I was alive, I was also dead… inside.

In my first life, I was born as a dragon. I would fly through the sky and view the humans who lived on the ground like they were idiots. They thought that I was an evil and cruel dragon, like those in the old fairy-tale stories which were told by my elder brother. A dragon that kidnapped a princess and then, a knight in shining armor arrived to save her. After saving her, he received half of the kingdom and married the princess and they lived happily ever after.

I had never expected that I would actually hear a story which pretty much concludes the entire summary of my first life in this world albeit only half true though.

After I was killed by that knight, I was unexpectedly born again. Naturally, I was shocked, feeling complicated, hateful and even relieved. I couldn't comprehend because so many emotions appeared at the same time inside me like never before and it's all because I was born as a creature whom I had thought to be an idiot before.

That's right… I was born as a human.

Slowly, I was able to accept that. I learned and lived like one. At that time, everyone was born with occupation resembling that of rpg games my brother plays in this world. Remember, I used to live in a totally different world before so… what the hell is rpg games?

My occupation was known as or to be precise, . I had a rather relatively straightforward and yet, pretty versatile skills although I was pretty much really vulnerable at the beginning. And… it mostly happened because I have no real escape ability. Although I was not a dragon in my second life, at my peak, I could transform into one and actually really strong by that time.

Ironically, I transformed into a dragon which completely resembled what I originally looked in my first life…

No matter how much I try, time will never stop and at the end, I actually died of old age.

I woke up in my third life, staring blankly unable to say anything…

(Why…am I still alive?)

I had that thought during that time.

I could see that I was born again as a human. I grew up and realized that there wasn't much difference as compared to my second life... with the exception of a voice which constantly appeared inside my head, as well as the strange bars on top of my and other creatures' heads.

Flashback~

*Ding*

[?]

[??]

*Beep*

*Beep*

*Beep*

[???]

[????]

I could hear a monotonous voice suddenly appeared inside my head. I remember that, during that time, my jaws ended up dropping. I opened and closed it repeatedly like a fish, too confused by what just happened to me.

[Host? Player? System?]

Just what were those green and blue bars that I am seeing on top of everybody's head?

[I don't understand it… Can some explain it to me?]

I turned left and right, asking for help but they only looked at me weirdly.

Why did they give me that look?

Furthermore…

DON'T SUDDENLY TALK TO ME BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE!!!!!

[…]

[!!!!!!!!!]

I turned silent for a while before answering it. I had realized that no one could hear its voice except for me so I went to a slightly deserted place so that no one could ridicule me.

[Uh…Hello…]

[…]

[Who are you?]

I asked.

That voice answered.

[Uh…Your name is System?]

[…]

I'm certainly sorry because I was unable to understand you at all, rather DON'T CALL YOURSELF LOVELY, CUTE OR WHATEVER SYSTEM BECAUSE THAT'S JUST TOO…

Too…

Uh… Too annoying!

Now that I thought about it, actually I have never retorted someone as much as this system I just discovered during my third reincarnation.

*****

[I'm hallucinating hahaha]

I believed that I was hallucinating. I mean… system? What the hell is that? I had tried my best to make it disappear from my head rubbing my temples and even hitting my head against the wall as hard as I could but…

Unable to say anything except in a week.

End of flashback~

[Ryuga? What just happened to you?! Why are you crying?! Don't tell me I'm playing it wrong?!]

A black-haired boy scanned my face briefly and panicked after he saw me suddenly crying from playing a board game. My heart dropped. I wiped my tears and said expressionlessly.

[Nothing. I just remember something unpleasant.]

Too unpleasant to be honest. Why did I have to remember my third life of all things? I did tame that Dragon King in the end but I still couldn't understand what exactly happened because that dragon basically has the same form as the dragon in my first life and my second life.

[Sigh]

Fate is truly a mystical thing, isn't it?
