I Received System to Become Dragonborn

"Tonight, the rain looks heavier than usual."

Erend muttered to himself while watching the rain from the terrace of his house.

Rain of this magnitude is of course something the residents of Slum don't like.

House tiles that are never tightly closed will eventually leak.

Water will enter the house uninvited and saturate the important parts. Like a mattress, or a shabby sofa that has been torn in several parts.

All the stuff they get from the trash. Most of the furniture is leftover furniture from people in the city area that they don't use.

Plans to relocate Erend and Billy's family are now silent.

Erend initially felt happy because he would leave this Slum environment and leave his rickety home. But until now no one has discussed their moving plans like what Billy said when he just came back.

"Maybe I should ask the General."

That's right. If Erend didn't say it first, then maybe General Lennard would never mention it and immediately have forgotten about it. Thought the promise never happened.

Erend looked at the growing pool of water in front of him.

Because of this heavy rain, the dirty ground in front of him became muddy and slippery.

Tomorrow, the land will become an annoyance for the people living in this neighborhood to cross.

A long sigh escaped from Erend's mouth. No matter how annoying the muddy ground was, he couldn't do anything.

He should be grateful because this neighborhood does not experience flooding when it rains this hard.

*DEG!*

Suddenly while he was staring at the rain curtain of falling water, Erend felt a strange feeling in his chest.

His heart seemed to be hit by something hard from the inside.

"What the hell..."

Erend ran forward and looked around his house.

This late at night, usually no one would come out. Especially when the weather is this bad.

But, what exactly was that weird premonition he had just now?

Erend was now filled with feelings of anxiety. Before that, he had calmed down because he knew nothing would happen. At least in this world, for now.

He felt that he would just live a normal day as a soldier without any problems. Yet, that bad feeling suddenly came and bothered him.

'Tut, can you hear me?'

But Tut didn't answer. It was as if Tut had disappeared from his head by now.

Was that also caused by that bad premonition?

Suddenly Erend felt something from the north. What he saw was a high wall that blocked the Slum from the city area.

'Did it come from the city area?'

Erend frowned. If that was true, what did he just feel? And why did it come from the city area?

However, it's still too vague.

Just relying on a feeling can't be used to determine anything. Moreover, this is a large country.

Or, is this just a hunch without any special meaning?

No, this can't be just a hunch. He was no longer an ordinary human. So, this strong hunch must have been triggered by something.

'I have to investigate it.'

Erend made up his mind. Even though it wasn't something easy because he didn't know where to start, he still had to look for clues.

If Erend had this strong hunch, maybe even Systema would create a Quest for him related to whatever the current situation was. So that he can finish it.

However, realizing that in this country there is such a problem is very worrying.

'Actually, what happened?'

~~~

On the other hand, on the remote side of a town. Precisely in a building not far from a small farm. An extraordinary event is happening.

In this place, there is currently a battle that determines the future of an ambitious experiment. This battle will determine the course of this experiment.

If Annie managed to come back unharmed and still be able to continue as a successful subject, then that would be a good thing.

But even though the scientists wished that success is the case, they were unsure of what would unfold before their eyes.

Annie was swinging her ice sword and sending countless ice spears toward Conrad. She had also frozen a large part of this field.

When she waved her sword, that moment a tiny part of her icy blue aura overflowed and spread out.

The aura fell and instantly froze the water touched by it.

Thomas immediately asked the crew to move their equipment inside.

The equipment will not be damaged in the rain. But a frost will.

Those expensive pieces of equipment would be damaged immediately if they froze, especially if they were frozen by the Magic power that came from a rampaging person.

Even so, Thomas continued to record. He didn't want to miss any of this moment.

Conrad continued to endure attacks from Annie. His silver light armor was impenetrable by all the attacks Annie gave.

Throughout that time, Conrad kept screaming amidst this pouring rain and thunder sounds.

'I can feel it. She is getting closer.'

Even though Annie's body showed no signs of it, Conrad was sure she was close to finding it.

Within her subconscious, Annie was close to that 'bright light'.

Conrad held back her sword-swinging hand. The ice wrapped around Annie's hand instantly shattered.

Conrad made a pushing motion with his other hand and Annie's body flew backward from being pushed by a strong force.

Annie fell into a puddle and instantly froze the surroundings. After that, she just stay there. Lying motionless.

Conrad walked up to her without taking off his silver light armor.

Even though Conrad was sure that now Annie was out of her madness, but he couldn't take the risk.

Once Conrad was near her, he noticed that the blue in Annie's eyes had dimmed. The ice that covered her body slowly melted.

Annie's previously fast chest movements became slower as she calmed down.

Annie opened her eyes wide but she stared blankly upward even under the pouring rain.

Conrad lowered his head and called out to her.

"Annie, how do you feel now?"

Annie's eyes twitched. Then found Conrad's face above her.

"I think... I think I'm fine."
