Chapter 2 : Meeting between dragons and dragons
In the depths of a cave There was a boy laying in there. His hair is red, and his arms, legs, torso, and face have small scales at each spot, but they don't cover his whole body. His fingernails and feet were sharp. Look at his size He was probably about 160-170 tall, and when he opened his eyes, he said the first words in opening his eyes to this world…
"…sigh…new born…plus I'm a man now…"
After I woke up, I slowly got up from the floor. But I feel that my body still doesn't have much strength When I got up, I was a little swayed. I guess I'll have to get used to my body before I can move more fluently...
"Well, at least I know that I was born again. So what will I do from now on?"
I placed my hand on my chest and used a skill to examine my body. I think it might be something like this…
"I have to try it first. Says that it can be used to detect objects that can be touched, right? So if you try it on yourself, something should come up. Now!!『Creation』"
After I finished speaking, a transparent window appeared in front of me. It has a lot of letters written on it. It must be my information right now… and here it is…
"Ho!! Status plate!! Here, look."

"…I think…it's not bad…isn't it…just the name? Do I have to name it?? But I already have the name. So I just using the original name. My name is Kaiichi!! It's the name given to me by my mother. It's still not easy to change!!"
after using skill I tried to look down at my own body. It's enough to see even if it's this dark. But it's a bit too dark...no. If it was darker, it would be great…because I wouldn't have to see my own changing spots…like this, it really strengthens my mind…bring back my old body!! …I could only shout in my heart. Because at any rate, I have to accept this condition…hehe…I have to be strong and accept this reality…by the way…
"It's so dark that it's difficult to walk, sigh, first I have to find something to wear, oh!! Then I can create it using the Constructive skill, right? Just knowing the structure, construction methods and materials is enough!! Then let's start!!『Creation』!!!"
I put my hand on my chest and shouted another skill. But this time nothing happened. As if the skill didn't work…
"Eh?? can't see anything I don't have a single piece of fabric...don't tell me...that we have to design the whole outfit...can't take it!! …But I don't want to be open and clear like here. It was clear and cold already."
I slowly closed my eyes and tried to concentrate to visualize the costume…piece by piece…piece by piece…
…three hours passed…
"『Creation』!!!"
A light shrouded the upper body of the floor. Then, after that, the light slowly transformed into a suit that covered my entire upper body. Even if it's just a simple shirt. Ask why it took so much time? It's very difficult to get a portion of it!! The pants, shirts and…yeah…an hour each. This just gave me a really bad headache!!
"Sigh, it's better than nothing. Plus it's not that bad. Even if you want it to be cooler than this. For example Fantasy novel adventurer And the katana sword!! yes yes!! But keep in mind that you want it and then do it. Plus now the headache hasn't gone away. Let's rest our minds for a bit."
I glanced at the time in my window. Let's call it windows By the way, it's like a new born fantasy novel. Plus it's right in front of me here...
"Sigh, it took three hours? This seems to be difficult. I doubt it will have to be built here and there, built here, prepared first, but anyway, let's say, where should we go after this?"
After that, I try to walk along the path. It was a very dark cave… that's right. Is this a dungeon? Like this, I want a torch already. But to build it probably won't be able to do something like that. I kept walking until I came across a lake…
"oh!! There is water too!! I'm thirsty right now!! Like this, there's no need to starve to death. If I died from lack of water, I would be miserable…"
I drank a lot of water. I feel like I haven't drunk in a very long time. Even if it's not that dry After I finished drinking water So I try to look across to the other side of the lake. But I couldn't see anything because it was too dark in the cave to see…and at that moment…I came up with a really cool idea…
"In the absence of sight Let's go to see the other side. After all, it's probably not that wide, right?? Even if it falls into the water, I can swim… but I don't want my clothes to get wet at all…"
After that, I walked back a little further from the lake. intending to jump into the lake and swim The lake is so big You can't jump over it...
"It's a must-try for something like this. Okay, yahh!!!"
I ran as fast as I could. And when I neared the lake, I jumped with all my might. I dived into the lake and then swam freestyle to the other side at high speed…Not!!
Instead of plunging into the lake The floor rises and rises Plus, I jumps forward at a high speed that is hundreds of times faster than swimming!!
"This is too fast!!!"
It seems that the effect of the skill "Strong strength" made my strength more than expected. to easily jump over the lake You should be glad that one request was granted…but…
"And how am I going to stop this?!!!"
I rushed forward without decreasing my speed at all. I will surely die like this!! Like this, if I collide with something, I will die for sure!! I will died because I jumped into the wall of the dungeon for sure!! This is not funny at all!!! More miserable than the lack of water!!
"Die for sure!! I will die!! Definitely die!! Don't take it!! After all, I'm going to die because I hit the wall of the cave from jumping!! Worse than starving to death!!! Damn, I don't want to die yet."
Bam!!
And then my body hit something hard. But it's not like a cave wall at all. It's more like a plain wall. I crashed hard into that wall. Then I slid down to the ground. When I looked at the floor wall, I was a little surprised. This is… like a mirror… but probably not a mirror. It's like…
"Oh, oh!!! Will my face look handsome? If so, then the plan to build a harem would be ruined. But at least I'm not dead yet. Almost next time let's try to build a bridge over it...Huh???"
"Then why didn't you build it in the first place!! It hurts!! Use 『Creation』 to make a bridge over it…no. I still want to rest my head, no…"
(Can you hear me? little boy)
At that moment, I heard a voice from someone unknown. The sound seemed to reverberate throughout the maze. it's so scary which made me so shocked… well, I almost fell out of my scream… it's good that I put my hand over my mouth so that the scream wouldn't come out… well… I'm… afraid of the ghost…
"Ah!! …Eh…Who is that!? Who's voice!! Or a ghost!?"
(Hey, I'm talking to you. Did you hear that?)
"Eh!! Whose voice is this, where is it coming from?"
(This way, turn this way)
"…is… this way?"
(This way, turn this way)
"…is this the way?"
(This way!! Turn here!!!)
"Oh!! I'm not afraid anymore!! Take a way, hey!!! Left or right!! Some way!!! The more people can't see, the more confused they will be!!! This is going to happen, right?!!!"
make it confusing I can't see it, I don't know which way to go But from what I've heard, it's probably not a ghost...
(Oh!!! Can't you see? I thought it was bothering me again. So I thought for a second that if I could get out, I will burn you to ashes. Gahahahahaha! So on the right, turn around.)
You're the one who annoys me. But let's do it this way...
"I understand it...but to the point of burning me?"
I turned to the right as the voice said. His voice sounded like a man of a certain age. But because I didn't see it, I didn't know what he was like…
"…uh…in the front…uh…yes???"
(Yes, right in front of you)
"Uh…but I still can't see anything. It was all dark… Sigh…"
That's right, even if you turn your head. But not seeing it means nothing. Where am I going to find a torch??
(So can I help you??)
Eh? Help? How will uncle help? Or uncle has a torch?? Isn't it??
(By the way, don't you have the skill 『Magic Sense』?)
"…Magic Sense? No…what skill is that…is it?"
I asked like that. It must be some kind of skill that helps with vision??
(It was a skill used to sense the magic essence in the surrounding area. It was used to examine the magic essence around it. This world is covered with magic essence. The concentration of each area is not the same. As for light and sound, they have characteristics of waves… Do you understand this? Try concentrating and using your body's prana to propel your magic core.)
"Understood!! Previously learned those things at school…before coming to this world…yes…well, then I'll give it a try…"
I try to collect my concentration. And then imagine that power was flowing in his body…ah…like a golden-haired superman…ah…
(yes yes!! Like that, now feel the movement of the Magic Core outside the body. If you do that, then you can use it.)
It's hard, take it slow. It was enough to feel that smoke or something was floating in the air. It's probably what uncle called a magic essence… It's a strange feeling… Like… It's like being at a party with smoke and turning on the disco lights…
"…Complete confirmation. You have received the extra skill『Magic Sense』…already…"
After that, everything lit up. I can see everything around me. Awesome!! But it felt weird…
"Okay!! I saw it!!"
(Haha, I'm the teacher. so you can already do it Because how good am I? Gahahahahaha! )
Wait a minute, Are you laughing too much uncle? But let's face it, uncle is really good at teaching. thanks I looked around before turning back to uncle… but when I turned around…
"Huh?"
there is a large living thing Standing in a transparent wall, both his size and his teeth and claws. Plus it has wings…this is…
"You're a dragon, aren't you!!?"
This is so amazing!! We've been talking to dragons all this time!! Must be written down as a life record that this is the first time talking to a dragon…a real dragon…
(Gahhahahaha!! It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm not doing anything to you, kid…)
"Fantastic!!"
I was so excited that it slipped out of my mouth. Well, it's awesome, this is a dragon!! live dragon A very powerful creature!! Even tanks can't handle it. This is the strongest super creature!!
(…You said…I'm cool??)
"That's right, Uncle!! Uncle is a dragon!! The strongest creature!! I've always liked dragons!!!"
(…If…if you said that, then I'd be really cool…Even if you complimented like that, I wouldn't be happy!!)
…Uh… just now…Tsundere? Isn't it?? Uncle...it doesn't make him look cuter at all…
(Oh!! or that? Are you a reincarnation??)
Hurry up and change the topic, uncle. Ok ok I will change the topic…
"Uh…it seems so…like I died from the old world and reincarnated into this world…yes…"
(Well, once in a while there will be "reincarnations" too. Probably because they had so much determination that their memory were etched into their soul. There are even people who have memories of what is called But the "reincarnation" from another world was very strange. Because normally, souls alone would not be able to withstand traveling across another world. The soul will be split and the memory will be lost. as far as i know Someone who had perfect memories and became a demon born from the magic core had never been anywhere before. I think that's special.)
Huh?? Am I…really that special?…ah…special to get that voice to cancel the request to change to a man… hehe… absolutely…
"Nah… is that so? But what has been said just now Does that mean there are people from other worlds who are not reincarnated like me in this world too?"
That's it!! He knew about the reincarnation. It means that someone else must have been to this world. It could be someone from the same world as us!!
(yes!! as you said a long time ago There will be people who travel from other worlds to this world, called "otherworlders", as these people will have different knowledge than ours and will also gain special abilities when coming to this world)
Well, this is really interesting. There might actually be people from other worlds like us. Might as well go out and find it. It would be nice if we could talk…
"This is it! So I'll have to go look for them. There might even be people from the same world as me!"
(uncontrollably!! wait a minute!!! You're going already!!? We only talked for a minute!?)
"Eh?? But I don't know what to do here. I came here and found out that there are other people out there, so I have to go look for this??"
(…I'm so glad to have someone to talk to…I've been trapped here for 300 years…it's extremely lonely here. because no one dares to enter here…except you…huh!!)
Uncle said in a lonely voice. Then he acted like he was about to cry!! Stop it uncle!! How can I not be weak!!!
"Wait a minute!! Uncle didn't see the need to cry at all… Okay!! Okay!! I won't go!!! But only three more days!!!"
(Really!? If you return your words, I will burn you to nothing!!!)
"…I don't see the need to threaten each other like that… Hmmm… By the way. Did you just said you trapped in this? Is that clear cough blocking here??"
(yes!! yes!! If I'm not mistaken, this one called 『Unlimited Imprisonment』 is a Hero's unique skill.)
I… the brave one!! Awesome fantasy!! But?? Why is uncle imprisoned here???
"Is there a hero here!?"
I'll try asking. It seems that there are still many things about this world that we don't know, sigh…
(Well, it's a white-skinned woman with long, dark hair tied up in a bundle. Relatively small The face is covered with a mask. Uses a curved katana, does not hold a shield. It's probably the 『Absolute Severance』 and 『Unlimited Imprisonment』 that locked me in here.)
white woman Black hair tied up, wearing a mask, holding a katana sword but not a shield!! superb!! I really want to see this brave person?? Ah… but uncle said it's 300 years old… probably not here anymore…
After that, I talked to uncle about many things. And when we talked, it seemed that he liked humans. To say that they are weak. but it never seemed to kill anyone who attacked himself… well, kind hearted uncle…
extra scene before the end
(By the way, Kaiichi, can I ask you something? You call me uncle. Do I look that old?)
"Uncle is definitely 300 years older than me, and I'm just a junior high school student...uh...a 15 years old kid, until next year. High school girl and then…but it doesn't matter!! But have a girl to call you like this. You should be happier, right?"
(Is that so!!! That's it…Huh…What did you say just now??)
"I said...a girl… ah!!"
(You said you were a girl just now, right?? I didn't hear it wrong right!!?)
"...That's right...I was a woman in my last life…I'm sorry if I didn't sound polite. But I'm used to saying this already… uh… I forgot to tell you… hahaha, sorry uncle."
(What!!! Have I been fooled all this time!!??)
