Id Chapter 2

“It’s name is Lamia. There were many people who put in effort to make it. First, it was me, the head of all the others, the Dragon Lord. Then, it was followed by the other Dragon Lords, the Light Gods, and the Dark Gods… Originally, I started to make it in a more of a “fooling around” manner. I wanted to make a great weapon. So I dragged each Dragon Lord and Senior Gods to help me make it. We all used the best of our abilities to forge this sword, using the metal with the highest power, Eclipse. The handle was made with parts of my own dragon heart and dragon bones. The scabbard was created from the hide of the King of the Red Dragons. Around thousand years is how long this process took. On the day Lamia was finished, I tried to wield it, but was rejected. I was rejected by it, I even tried to forcefully grasp on it, nothing worked as the power of the sword surpassed my own. Thus, I gave it to the members who participated on the production of Lamia, it rejected all of them as well. Even the Gods couldn’t wield Lamia as they too exerted their strength into it. Because we all poured our power and energy into the sword, the sword obtained all of our power. Only the Creator, the source of Light and Darkness can possibly wield Lamia. Since Lamia hasn’t chosen its master yet, it has to stay here. Because I am aware of the full extent to Lamia’s power, I felt that I had to be the one guarding the sword for the rest of my life. The only ones who know about Lamia are the Light and Dark Gods as the other Kings have probably passed away.”

I threw a glance at him and saw his empty eyes.

After he was done with his story, I looked at the sword again.

“Is this thing really that great?”

Since I’m not from this place, I cannot judge the value of the so called Lamia. However, it must be great as it has the combined power of the Gods….

[… Nim…..] (TL Note: You would say this to show respect to someone, such as PardonMe-Nim  )
As I stared at the sword, I thought as if I heard a small sound. Then all of sudden, my hand reached for the sword, as if I was being controlled. I couldn’t hear anything as well, my mind was just on grasping the sword.

I knew that it was dangerous to even touch the sword, however it was as if my hand wasn’t even apart of my body anymore. I finally got a grip of the sword. Suddenly, my eyes became dizzy and a beautiful woman’s voice resonated in my head.

[I am Lamia and I have met the man who shall be my master. However, we need to make a promise. If you will be my master, would you stay with me forever?]

‘What is…. this….’

[Will be with me forever?]

It asked the same question.

‘Is there something that I would not enjoy…?’

[There will be no harm done to you. Will you share an eternity with me?]

The voice is really pleasant…..

‘Yeah, sure why not.’

[The promise of sharing an eternity has been agreed upon. Even the Creator cannot object this promise. I am Lamia. I will now stay next to you… forever.]

As the ceremony came to an end, I saw a woman watching me, giving me a warm smile in front of eyes before I lost my consciousness.

As I woke up, I immediately gained my consciousness as if nothing happened.

Hu~ is there possibly a person who could wake up like this?

I saw a middle aged man in front of me. The person seemed to have a soft and a dignified impression on his face.

“I want you to explain what has just happened.”

I talked with this man before, before I knew it, I was talking to that dragon I was talking with earlier!

“You do not have to be surprised. It is just magic spell, Polymorph….”

I stared at him for a moment, then I looked down to my hand because I had a feeling something was there. It was my sword, Lamia. It didn’t seem to have any type of weight, in fact it almost felt weightless. I asked Graydron, who was in front of me.

“Why is this…”

“I wanted to ask you that myself! Once you had grasped it, the sword suddenly shattered with light, what happened?”

“I wished I knew. I suddenly just heard the voice of a woman in my head. I told her that I would stay with her forever, if she wouldn’t do any harm to me. After that, I saw the woman and I went unconscious.”

Graydron said, looking at me for a moment…

“Did it finally find its true master? If so, my hardships are over.”

“Master? What! Are you telling me that I am the master of this sword?”

Graydron nodded.

“You now are the sword’s owner.”

“Hey, hey! I don’t need it.”

“It does not matter, it depends on how you use this power. Over sixteen thousand years… I’ve been protecting this sword, beyond my body, now I can finally rest.”

“Hey! What are you talking about? Are you going to die now?”

“Yes, the average lifespan of a dragon is usually around ten thousand years, and since I am a Dragon Lord, I could live up to fifteen years. However, I have lived a thousand extra years. Now, I could rest.”

“Then…. what am I supposed to do? The only dragon I know…. is you….. what am I supposed to do!”

He looked at me for a moment and let out a laugh.

“Then, let’s make a deal. A lot of Dragon Magic skills were lost because of me. So, I’ll teach them to you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I will give everything to you, even my own identity. With this, you will be treated as if you were me. You can teach these spells to the other Dragon Lords. You can’t ask this request to anyone, you know…”

“Yeah, I’ll do it, but I don’t know anyone here. You would have to go along with me and guide the way….”

“You do not have to worry about that, as I already said, everything I know will go over to you. However, you will have to learn to use this knowledge and you will have to do somethings yourself. I also aren’t familiar with the road you must take as it’s been over seven thousand years since I’ve seen the light of day. Please prepare yourself, haha~, it is funny to think that a man has the intelligence and the ability of a dragon who also carries a sword of the Gods… if you do well, you may even become a High Gods yourself.”

Uh… is he making fun of me~ While looking at me, he began to chant something.

I give my everything to you… I shall now be reborn inside you.

He suddenly shone a bright light. Then, a trembling came to my hand.
[
[Master, this is an ability that will transfer magic. Do you wish for me to deflect it?]
..
This voice was the same voice I heard in that light, but to block this….

“No. Don’t deflect it, it’s not an attack, you got it?”

[I understand.]
