[Pompeii, 79 CE]
[1st POV]
As I stood in front of Mount Vesuvius, I felt sothing beneath the mountain. A powerful being, the remains of a powerful being more specifically. Its life energy was so strong that it remains until today, it was so strong that I could feel it from Ro. In the town near the mountain, I saw suspicious activities. People with strange thoughts and emotions entered the town a couple days ago, and they are scouting for sothing near the mountain.
I looked at the ground beneath , should I? Or should I not? Will it impact the world above the remains? It shouldn’t… right?
So I took a deep breath, and I tried to connect to the remains of that being. Slowly but surely, golden energy was slowly sipping between the dirt below, rising to the grounds above. The energy slowly gathered in front of , forming a creature in front of .
As the construct took shape, a voice spoke in my mind.
“It is an honour to be with your side, my lord.”
Oh, it can speak? “Who are you?”
“I do not have a na, my lord.” spoke the voice. “I rested on this mountain that I called ho, and I died of old age.”
“You…” I murmured. “When did you die?”
“I do not rember, my lord.” said the voice again. “It was a long ti ago…”
I humd. The energy seed to finish gathering in front of , and it slowly revealed itself.
It was in the shape of a serpent… no, it was a dragon.
“You are a Dragon?” I questioned.
“In your tongue, I believe it is what my species is called.” answered the Dragon.
Oh shit… a dragon? Am I allowed to absorb it? “Do you want to release you?”
“Please don’t, my lord.” answered the Dragon. “It’s been so long since I saw the world like this, please, allow to serve you.”
“O-Okay then…” A dragon, that’s a haul… “What do you want to na you?”
“I wouldn’t dare to choose my own na, my lord.” said the Dragon. “Please, call whatever you like my lord.”
“What do you think?” I asked the other constructs who could speak.
“Hmm… I am not good at naming things.” said Idemnon.
“NEW BROTHER!” shouted Asterion simply.
“...” phia was quiet.
I sighed. I looked at the dragon. He is gigantic, he is as long as a small river and as wide as it as well. The golden patterns are complex, he was truly an ancient being.
“Then… how about Smaug?” it’s quite a good na right?
“Then I shall now bear the na Smaug, thank you, my lord.” bowed the newly absorbed Smaug.
“Please, call Pluto.” I shrugged.
“Very well, lord Pluto.”
Well, that’s better than nothing.

As I walked towards Pompeii, a group of people suddenly surrounded . It was the people who bear strange thoughts in their heads, this is a pain…
“Who are you?” I questioned with raised eyebrows.
The group just went silent. “How did you resurrect the dragon?” asked one of the n, he has a strange accent.
I frowned. “You saw that?”
“I will ask again, how did you resurrect the dragon?”
“I am sorry, but I didn’t resurrect it.” I answered. “Who are you? You have a strange accent, you’re not from around here, are you?”
The man sighed. “You don’t want to speak, then we will make you.”
The fuck?! Are these people young masters or sothing?! I am at Pompeii right? Not China?
The group then suddenly rushed with short swords. They were trying to injure , so I dodged by jumping high into the sky. I summoned my bident, and shot golden lasers at the one who attacked .
A couple of n died, leaving a couple more. “Why did you attack ?”
The man who spoke was still stone-faced, but I could tell that he was enraged that a couple of the n died. But then, he looked behind , and nodded, as if a man was signalling sothing from afar to him.
“It seems the extraction is finished. We will find you for another ti.” The man ran away from as well as his n.
Okay… that was weird… They seed Asian though… from China maybe? I tried to chase them, but they quickly disappeared.
After that bizarre encounter, I walked back to the town or Pompeii, where I saw an even more peculiar sight…
“Is that… Loki? Freeing so goats?” I questioned myself as I saw two rather modern-dressed n seemingly talking to each other in the middle of the town.
I was curious of course, it was loki, and it’s still so centuries before the bloke was born. I walked up to him, the other guy panicked as he saw for so reason, but Loki didn’t notice .
I was behind him now, and I asked. “What are you doing here?”
“Ahh!” shrieked Loki, jumping down from the goat pen that he was standing. He looked at , and his face paled. “U-Uncle… W-What are you doing here?”
Uncle? That’s weird. “I asked you first.”
“W-Well…” Loki looked at the other guy that was with him, and the other guy gestured to Loki to run. “S-Sorry uncle, p-perhaps we will talk again at another ti. I’ve got to go!”
As he said that, the mountain behind shook. And magma dust started to co out from the top of the mountain. “Hey, it’s this your-” I looked at the direction of Loki again, and saw that he and the other guy had disappeared.
“The hell…” I murmured. I turned around again, and saw that the dust storm was approaching the town quickly.
“Is that… is it my fault?” I questioned myself.
“No, my lord.” said Smaug in my mind. “There’s a group of people who wanted to extract my bones, and they triggered the eruption.”
“So it’s not my fault…” I humd. “This is a weird day… let’s just get out of here…”
I then summoned a portal back to Ro, where the others are preparing to depart. I entered the portal, and it closed as the dust storm covered the entire town of Pompeii…
