I Received System to Become Dragonborn



Conrad is still trying to wrap his clouded mind after the dream he had just now. He didn't take long to realize what was really going on. When he saw the serious faces of General Lennard and Thomas, Conrad immediately realized that perhaps he was about to undergo another kind of interrogation session.

He sighed. "What happened?"

Conrad also realized that he had been transferred from the hospital to another treatment room. Something was definitely going on while he was unconscious and whatever it was might have something to do with the dream he just had.

"When did you pass out?" General Lennard asked.

Conrad didn't answer right away. He thought for a while to remember when he fainted, only then was he finally able to say an answer. "I kind of passed out at dawn. I remember seeing the sky in the east turning reddish but after that, it was all dark."

Of course, Conrad wouldn't tell him about the dream he had. Because he doesn't fully understand what that dreams are and what he can do with them.

"Conrad, we are facing a dangerous situation. Something happened in this world that caused humans, animals, and others to turn into monsters!" Thomas drew closer to Conrad's bed and said with a grave expression on his face.

"What?" Conrad frowned. "When did it happen?"

"Actually, we have known that there have been some strange occurrences in some parts of this country since about a week ago. But suddenly today things escalated so fast," General Lennard replied. "Do you know anything about that?"

Conrad thought. A few moments later he said. "I've heard that something like that happened when I was with... the Elf in that other world back then. But... she said it happened when their world just experienced Magic awakening."

Hearing Conrad's words, the two of them immediately looked at each other. Their eyes say anxiety and fear.

"What else do you know about that?" General Lennard asked, in a tone that sounded almost insistent.

"I don't remember much anymore. But definitely, something like this is a sign that Magic has been awakened in our world. That change happened because the beings here couldn't handle Magic in their bodies," Conrad said.

Conrad didn't know what to feel. Should he be afraid because that Magic awakening would create an even bigger disaster? Or should he be happy because his Magic power could be back, so he could contact Eliriel again?

"But why don't we experience that change?" General Lennard looked confused. "Though it seems like everyone in the hospital has changed."

"Maybe," said Conrad. "That's because you guys have been exposed to Magic long enough."

Thomas and General Lennard exchanged glances again after hearing Conrad say that. That is a pretty reasonable answer. However, Thomas thought of something that was quite confusing.

"But what about the president?" Thomas asked. His question elicited glances from General Lennard and Conrad.

"You're right," General Lennard muttered.

However, Conrad had other thoughts. 'That's probably because something else happened to him.'

Previously, Conrad heard from Thomas that the president had come after experiencing a strange incident at his house. The time almost coincided with this catastrophic event so it couldn't be a coincidence.

Maybe the president was unconscious because he had the same dream as him.

'Should I tell them about this?'

Conrad looked at General Lennard and Thomas who were still in a silent position with their own confused thoughts. And finally, Conrad thought not to say about it just yet for now.

General Lennard exhaled. Then said to Conrad. "Do you have anything that can help us deal with this situation?"

"I'm afraid not, General," Conrad said. "I'll say it if I remember something useful."

General Lennard nodded. "Alright. I'll be going now. There's a lot I have to take care of."

The General left the place when he thought that he would just waste his time there. The chaos out there requires a lot of his attention right now and Conrad doesn't look like he's going to come up with anything that can handle it.

That leaves Thomas and Conrad alone in this room. Thomas took a chair and sat down next to Conrad's bed.

"Did you know that something like this would happen?" Thomas asked while looking at Conrad with his eyes that suddenly became sharp in Conrad's mind.

"No." Conrad shook his head, then looked away. "I didn't know something like this would happen so you can't blame me."

"I don't blame you, for now," said Thomas with a mysterious smile. "What about the reason why we weren't affected by that Magic change? And... Is it true that somehow, that change happened specifically in that hospital?"

Conrad turned his head. "You said that every place in this country was also affected by that change."

"Yes, but... Something seems off. Suddenly in the hospital where the president is being treated, everyone turns into monsters except him, you, me, and General Lennard.

"The three of us have had direct contact with Magic so we can at least assume that's why we haven't changed. However, the president has never had direct contact with Magic and our experiments.

"So, why hasn't he changed?"

Conrad stared at Thomas silently. As usual, he was quick to respond to something like this because of his intelligence.

"You think is that any chance that we will also experience Magic awakening as well? We can handle the Magic in our bodies because we have been in contact with that power a lot. That means we can adapt better to the power of Magic, right?"

When he said that, there was a glint of excitement in Thomas's eyes. He clearly found excitement because he could see an opportunity for the awakening of extraordinary powers that he had only studied about.

"Maybe," Conrad replied.

A smile appeared on Thomas's lips. But he immediately tried to get rid of that smile before too long.

"So uhh... you better start telling us the right way to use that Magic, don't you think?" Thomas said.

Conrad saw no other choice for him. If Thomas told General Lennard his thoughts, then the General would order Conrad to teach them how to use that Magic.

"I think so." So Conrad gave the answer he wanted to hear. After all, he could also benefit from this.

After finishing evacuating the president, General Lennard, Thomas, and Conrad from the hospital, there was no rest for the three of them. General Lennard immediately ordered them to go to the location where there was a lot of rioting.

Adrien, Erend, and Billy had no other choice but to obey the order. They went to the scene of the riot and violently paralyzed several people.

Fortunately, no one turned into monsters in the riots. They are only driven by a little provocation. But it was enough to trigger the wrath of those already possessed by madness because of the awakening of Magic.

The soldiers continued to work from morning to night to quell the riots. Including the three of them. The three of them also began to realize that the soldiers were starting to get affected because they got irritated faster when they did that.

The soldiers also began to take violent action against the rioters so that the chaos got worse.

In the end, feeling that a situation like this was beyond repair, General Lennard decided to withdraw the soldiers before this chaos got any worse. He decided to let this riot at this stage because he didn't know what else to do.

If he continues to let the soldiers handle it, seeing the condition of the soldiers who continue to become more agitated every second, all of that will only make them open fire at the rioters.

Adrien, Erend, and Billy had just rested when it was close to midnight. They heard the groans of the soldiers around them cursing the rioters. They don't realize that they also have the same disease as them.

"That fucking bastard threw shit at me! I swear, if I met him I would blow his head off!"

"Yeah, next time we'll just shoot them and blame it for stray bullets."

"I like that idea."

The conversation between them became more dangerous every second. It looks like deploying them again will only make them slaughter the rioter.

Adrien turned to Erend and Billy. He whispered. "We have to stop this, Erend."

Erend clench his jaw. "I'll talk to Aurdis and Saeldir again, Captain."

The situation is grave. Training his friends and Arty to use Magic wasn't enough. They must immediately put it to good use as soon as possible.

~~~

When he returned home, Erend immediately contacted Aurdis via telepathy. Aurdis immediately received his call. It was as if, she was waiting for Erend to contact her.

'What happened, Erend?' Aurdis asked.

Erend sighed. Then tell about everything that happened today.

'We have to speed up their training process,' said Aurdis.

"Do you have a way to stop this? Or... at least to ease the madness of these worldlings? This is all worse than I thought," Erend said in a gloomy tone.

'Actually, we just found a way to do that.'
