For now, I had decided to move back to the merchant guild area, where they finally gave me a Merchant Card and also a sack of money from all the mana stones I sold off. Apparently, the ones I can make are of the highest quality, so they were sold at a higher than usual price, that's pretty good but I don't really know why the Mana Stones I make are of a higher quality. I mean… I make them the same way that others make them.

I actually just took a book from the Ice Moon Sect, read it, and learned how to form magic circles in the ground named formations, configuring a formation out of specific runes in the floor wasn't so hard to make, and after that I managed to convert the piles of mana cores extracted from monsters into refined mana stones, without the impurities of mana cores.

But I didn't do anything special, I just build the formation myself and just made the mana cores into mana stones myself using my own Mana and that's all! How come they became so special without any reason at all? It is very confusing… Maybe my own mana is special? Or my own runes? Do they increase the quality because it is the mana of a dragon? I do use a lot of Mana into the formation to fuel it and make it work, but that's it? Just a lot of Mana?

I had asked the System and she answered rather quickly.

<It appears that it is such a case, there's a lot of high-quality Mana exuding from your body so what you did was naturally enhancing the entire formation with it, what happened was to be expected.>

You talk about it as if I was stupid for not noticing. Well, excuse me… But I don't always think of anything I make as incredible! I also sometimes just want to feel like I am just normal for a bit.

<You've given your blood to people and made them drink it, and they acquired draconic powers, and you're telling me you want to act normal?>

Oh… Well, I want to try! Well, whatever. Now that we got the merchant card, what should we do? Should we go to the Duchy of Orange Forest at long last? I bet there are even more orange trees there.

<Sounds like a good plan, although if something happens with the lizardmen and they attack this village, will you do something about it?>

Well, the entire village is being protected by guards and sect disciples, I will leave that work for them, I don't have anything to do with this village.

…But in the off chance that they're in the losing side, I will help, I guess.

<Good, that's how Drake truly is after all. You're a good person, and that's what make you different from the rest in this vast world…>

Eh? What's with the emotional words out of nowhere? You've fallen for me or something?

<T-That's not it, idiot! I am merely praising you… Geez, I guess you don't even want that?>

No, I mean… I am happy you think that. I never considered myself a good person to begin with, in my previous life I was just an average joe, and in this life, due to the circumstances of my reincarnation… Well, I became a dragon that grew too quickly, and it is too strong.

But I don't feel any pleasure in seeing people suffer, most of the time… I always felt bad in my previous life when there were so many things I couldn't change with my own strength, but now that I got the power to change things and the lives of others, I try to do it because I can, not because… I am good or something, don't get it wrong, okay? I am not a goody-two-shoes!

<I know you are; you're just trying to act cool, don't you?>

Ugh! You teasing System! I am not going to talk to you anymore if you continue teasing me like that, did you listen to me?

<I am merely saying my opinion of you… Now that you got your merchant card, I suppose going to the Duchy is a good plan. You're still with the idea of becoming an Adventurer? You got a ton of coins now so you're quite rich for the moment, but things in the duchy are probably expensive, so that money won't last long unless you begin stealing.>

Why would I steal if I can easily make money? Stealing from people only makes their lives more miserable, unless it is someone very rich, I don't plan on stealing them stuff.

<I see, to be expected of my favorite goody-two-shoes dragon!>

I am not a goody-two-shoes! Stop saying that or I am going to literally rip you apart from my soul!

<I don't think you could do that without dying in the process…>

I know! I am just joking… It is called a threatening joke.

<Anyways, what do you plan to do with the Scaled God in the jungle? Do you want to meet it? most likely it is another dragon. Kraxka said he had woken up from slumber, so he's probably a very old dragon, not even the two Dragons from Winter Moon knew any stuff, but perhaps this one dragon could know things that might interest you… Although I have the fear it might not be an amicable dragon, seeing how it is forcing the lizardmen to kill and conquer smaller tribes that were always peaceful and they're even planning on assaulting Frost Tear…>

I know… I am just leaving this for later, getting inside that jungle would be dangerous, there are too many monsters, and the Ranks keep increasing, if I end up surrounded by too many enemies, I don't want to kill innocent people that is just being brainwashed, so I first want to see the development of things before taking an important decision…

<Wise words>
