Reincarnated Into A Human?

A few months had passed since the battle with the legendary Red dragon Sen and only now had the divine being made a small recovery. It had nearly taken all of her power to cast that soul trapping spell.

She didn't even have the energy to move Sen's large body nor the crystal, so the two stayed on top of the fortress walls for the whole time. Usually, when a beast was to die, they would be quickly eaten by others, but the same could not be said for the dragon.

It had remained untouched, and its powerful magic seemed to linger on its body scaring everything away. This was good for the divine being for the creatures that would typically annoy her in this area seemed to stay away.

After making a recovery, the large crystal was placed in the altar room, and now all she needed to do was deal with the dragon's body. It was dangerous to leave it outside. Powerful magic still harboured in its body, and if someone was to get a hold of it, there was no telling what monstrosities they could create.

From its skin and bones alone, it had more power than most beast crystal out there in the world.

Now not under any sort of time frame, Bliss was able to now move the dragon. There was no need to cast instant teleportation, so she had time to draw out a sizeable magic circle under the body.

The truth was, even if she tried to cast such a spell, her body was far too weak. To be able to gather the strength she once had, it would take another 100 years or so.

She decided that the safest place would be the very same fortress the two of them fought.

It was almost impenetrable and had a large dungeon underneath. 

The red dragon was no longer seen, and rumours had spread of its defeat. It seemed like the witch had done her task, yet there were no signs of her either. The public had made the prediction that the two of them must have killed each other in battle.

Around the same time, the news had spread that the red dragon had been defeated and the first signs of the Shadow started to appear.

Originally Bonzeland contained ten kingdoms and the empire. During this time, the empire had conquered two more kingdoms and now captured one-third of the continent.

Then creatures started to appear. Beasts that looked slightly different and were more powerful than before. Before they knew it, one of the largest kingdoms north of the continent had been taken over. The world had learned about the deadly Shadow.

Still though, many chose to not believe it, and they continued to fight against each other.

Bliss seeing this knew she needed to do something urgently. Right now, she was too weak, but even with her strength, she was not enough to face against the Shadow. She looked at the crystal.

"If only there was some way to make you fight on our side." But she knew that was near impossible. Sen had anger for the humans, even if she was to bring him back into a form of a human, it was unlikely he would fight for humanity sake.

During her time as an adventurer, she had discovered five brave men. None of them knew of her true identity and only thought of her as a strong adventurer. She had brought the men to the crystal claiming that it was a type of god.

Projecting voices into their heads, she made it seem as the crystal was speaking to them. She showed them visions of the future of what the world would look like if the Shadow was to get their way.

In the end, she allowed each one of them to touch the crystal, and a part of Sen's power was transferred into them. This was her answer. If she couldn't get Sen to fight for them. Then she would use his power and put it into humans who she could trust.

Her plan seemed to be working as the red string of fate slightly started to move away from the deadly future, but still, it was not enough. The dragon knights built up an academy and recruited students training them to fight against the Shadow.

At this point and time, the Shadow had already conquered the second biggest kingdom and now covered one-third of the land.

A treaty was signed between the empire and other kingdoms to get rid of the Shadow before doing anything else.

But still, it didn't seem to do the trick. Day by day, the Shadow was growing stronger. Bliss continued to travel around Alure kingdom, spreading the word about the divine being and the crystal. She set a task for people after people hoping she could change something.

But now time was running out. The Dragon Knights were growing old, and Bliss had nearly recovered all her strength. She thought perhaps with the army she had built up she could deal with the Shadow. However, there was no such luck.

"It looks like the only thing we can do is really on you Sen."

Instead of using her powers to fight against a hopeless war with the Shadow, instead, she used it to cast a new spell. She had poured years of research into this just in case it never worked out, and finally, she had come up with a solution.

If she was to reincarnate Sen, then she needed to find a way for him to be on their side. Her solution was a system. Not just any system, at first she knew Sen would be obsessed with getting his powers and abilities back.

And she would give it to him but at a price. The price of saving those very humans he hated. With each life, he saved, another skill would be unlocked.

She poured all her magic into one last spell with all the details of the system in place, and all she could do was hope that Sen would one day change and fight on humanities side.

The crystal started to glow, and the soul was released into the outside world.

"Find a good home." She said.

But then chains once again grew from the crystal and this time started to pull her inside of it. "I guess I need to still keep my side of the contract."

With that, she as now trapped inside of the crystal in place of Sen.
