"What am I doing here, then? Am I that dragon with the damaged soul?"
That's the only possibility I can think of.
"No, there's no doubt that you're the human known as Tyson. Your relationship with this dragon is zero."
But then, why...
"Why do I have a system? Why do I have the title 'son of de dragon king'? Why am I here talking to you?"
The old man smiles slightly at my question.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, kid."
I'll let you talk then, old man.
Woah!
His eyebrow is shaking again!
But I haven't spoken out loud, can you hear my thoughts?
Goddam Geezer...
For so reason, I'm feeling deja vu...
"With the damaged soul of this unborn child, who wasn't dead, but wasn't alive either, all our hopes were dashed. There was no way to wake the child, it was impossible to recover the damaged soul pieces."
That's as far as I've co, old man.
"That's why I used so of the little power I had left to force a connection with the damaged soul. That connection remained open until a person compatible with this child's soul appeared."
And this is where I co in.
"And this is where you co in."
I'm a genius.
"The plan I had devised was to send the 'chosen one' to this planet devoid of supernatural beings, where he would learn about the history that occurs in these looped worlds to use that knowledge to his advantage. Since we could no longer follow this plan, we decided to take a human from that world who had knowledge of those worlds."
Do you see it, mom? Watching these silly cartoons had a aning, after all.
"But there were still thousands and thousands of years before that ti ca. In fact, I don't know how long it's been since I lost my life. So I delegated that mission to my daughter, and she chose you."
I thought so.
"But a normal human couldn't handle the intensity of a dragon's soul, so I created a second system. That's the system you've been using until now."
There are two systems?
"Wait, man. Are you telling my soul has been rged with soone else's?"
The old man nods.
Fucking old man...
"So, what do I have to do now? Save the multiverse?"
The old man nods.
Fucking old man...
"Let finish my story."
No, you're boring .
"After finishing all the preparations, I prepared to fight the Chaos. After a hard battle, which lasted for days and nights, I managed to defeat this entity. With my last forces, I sealed my consciousness in the system that lay within the damaged dragon soul."
"You defeated it, but did not destroy it."
Very cliché.
"Right. I couldn't destroy it completely. Rather, it is impossible to annihilate it, not even at my pri."
That's got my attention. Not even the most powerful could destroy that enemy.
Wait.
Doesn't that an I can't get experience points from that enemy?
I just lost all interest in this subject.
"You may be wondering why it can't be destroyed..."
No, I'm not wondering. I don't care at all.
"That's because no matter how many tis you destroy it, it's going to co back. Over and over again, it will always be like that until the end of days. As long as there is Order, the Chaos will be with you. It is the fate of the multiverse, the struggle for perfection, half Order, half Chaos. Chaos fights to end Order, and Order fights to end Chaos. It is the struggle for balance, a balance that can never be achieved because of the constant conflict between the two poles."
That's a deep thought, isn't it? Are you sure you're not just talking nonsense, old man?
"After she died, my daughter took my place. But her power wasn't enough, so the multiverse was divided into three different regions: The human realm, occupied by humans and ruled in the shadows by my daughter; the dragon realm, ruled by the dragon king; and the dark realm, a chaotic land without a light ruler where the dark forces live."
I think I have to interrupt the old man before my head explodes.
"Old man, old man, weren't you dead? How the fuck do you know so much?"
The old man's eyebrow is shaking again, but I don't care. I need a little ti to digest everything he's told .
"That's because I'm omnipotent."
"Cut the crap."
"Cough-Cough-"
In the end, the old man is going to die. Mmmm... A dead man can die? That's an unusual topic.
"My daughter told while performing the process of rging the two souls. Besides, I can tell you that I've seen everything you've done since you were reincarnated."
"What?"
"I must say you're very foolish. I an, the system clearly said that you were very appealing to humans when you were a baby dragon, and you went straight to them. Are you a masochist?"
Fucking old man...
I know I made a mistake, okay? You don't have to put your finger on it.
"And then you risked your life to save the human, you really are a masochist. If it's not because that little girl saved your life... The multiverse would have ended!"
Little girl... Are you talking about Tiamat? Is she a little girl? She should at least be thousands of years old, right? Well, I'm standing in front of the oldest person of all, I guess we're all children in front of him.
"Besides, that vampire you t..."
Oh, the man who almost killed again?
"He was here to look for you. If I'm not mistaken, he was an ally of the Chaos."
