Regaining my consciousness, I opened my eyes for the first time and noticed that my surrounding are all dyed black without a speck of light.
"Where am I?"
[Master, You are in a cave. That is located on Mount Caroline.]
Shocked of the sudden mechanical like voice, I squinted my eyes and tried to look around my surroundings.
However... There was no one in the area. I also noticed that my height increased since that voice claimed that I am in a cave, and the roof of the cave is just a meter away to touch my head.
"Who are you?"
I asked the voice.
[I am Integrity, a extra gift from God in order for you to broaden your understanding in this world and for you to know yourself more. I can also appraise materials and analyze a person's status.]
"Your quite useful for a gift..."
[Indeed I am, Master.]
Finishing the conversation, I asked a question towards Integrity.
"What world am I reincarnated to? and what am I?"
Two basic questions that can easily be answered by someone of this world.
[Master Era, is in Arnet. Arnet is the name of this world, it is the same as Earth with 1 Moon and a Sun and Master is a Divine Dragon God. Master is the pinnacle of all Dragons living in this world.]
Fumu... so I did reincarnate into that of a Dragon... Moreover a Higher one at that.
"Integrity, Is there a magic where I can create light?"
For now this cave is so dark that I cannot see speck of dust.
[There is Master, that would be Light Magic. Master, Try casting 'Bright' it is the basics of light magic.]
"Okay."
I nodded in agreement, I then begun casting light magic.
"Bright."
A bright white light spherical ball shaped formed in my surroundings with a strong brightness that lighted up the whole cave.
"Ah... There is pond?"
Noticing the water source, I walked towards it in order to know my own appearance.
"..."
When I looked at my own reflection, I can see that my skin or rather scales are jet black with deep crimson red eyes. My height is unmistakenly high that would be comparing to a 10 story building.
"Im Huge..."
Worrying of my own height, I asked Integrity a question if I can change into that of a human form.
[Master, can simply change his from if you want to.]
Integrity said it so simply.
[Master, just focus on what form you want to become.]
"Okay then."
Concentrating on a human form that won't stand out in public, I closed my eyes and began imagining.
And then I felt that my hands are feet are becoming smaller along with my height decreasing.
I opened my eyes and it worked!
"It worked..."
I formed a bright smile on my face.
Now that I became small, I noticed that the cave is indeed vast and now I need to walk towards the pond in order to know what my appearance looks like again.
Black hair, normal facial features, red eyes and a fit body. Releasing a sigh of relief since the transformation is done. I formed a victory pose inside my head.
[Master your naked.]
Ah. My victory pose crumbled. When Integrity claimed that I hurriedly find something to cover my body.
[Master, just use magic to make your clothes. Ezpz.]
"Eh? I can use magic?"
[Well of course Master. Master just needs to materialize the clothes he wanted.]
"I-I see.."
I then again begun to imagine a certain type of clothes that would be good for traveling.
An overcoat would be nice-- I thought to myself.
Feeling that it somehow worked, I felt my own body and felt there is a leather material.
I again looked at my own reflection using the pond water.
The clothes I'm wearing is jet black with red linings on it's edges and a golden embroidery. The design is that of a military general.
The shirt and pants also corresponds to the color of the overcoat I'm wearing.
[Master, looks like a rich kid.]
Integrity claimed.
Indeed, when I finished my transformation. My age seems to be of that of a 17 years old.
"Oi... Would I be mistaken as a noble for this?"
[Indeed not, Master.]
I felt that Integrity is grinning while saying that.
"Then Integrity, guide me to the outside of this cave."
[As you command, Master.]
I then begun following Integrity's guide in order to get out of this cave.
💠🔷ðŸ’
"Hah~ Finally the outside world!"
After following Integrity's instruction I finally got out of the cave.
In front me is the scenery of a deep dense forest along with the scent of nature flowing through the air.
[Master, just so may you know if you want to revert back to your true form, you may need to be aware of how you look.]
"What do you mean by that?"
[Master, inside that cave you were in a position as if your crawling or crouching.]
"... ..."
[Master, you may not know this but... you are a Divine Dragon God. The Divine Dragon God has similarities that of a human body. Which would that the Divine Dragon Race has a body similar to that of a human. An appearance that of a Dragon with a body of a Human.]
"Ah... You mean my true form is like that of a Human? but with an outer appearance of that a Dragon?"
[Correct.]
"I see..."
Hm? Then if that cave has a 10 story height wouldn't that mean if I were standing back then...
Un.. never mind, let's focus on exploring this world.
[Master, please note that... right now---]
Nn?
"Hm? Right now..? Im what?"
[Master right now is the weakest among the other, Divine Dragon God... Let's shorten it. Master is lowest among the Dragon Gods.]
What a harsh gift!
Seriously you hurt my feelings there...
"You could've said it softly..."
[But Master is a man. A man's heart is solid as steel.]
Urk... This thing's right...
"W-well for now, where are we?"
[Correction, where are you wandering, Master?]
"... ..."
[Master, just so you may know we are wandering unknowingly.]
"Well aren't you a guide to help me?"
[My functions are limited.]
Ah- No good. This gift is trash.
[Master, have you thought of something about me?]
"Hn? Nothing at all."
I smiled at myself.
Well, I guess gift sometimes are useless... but I will still treasure it.
💠🔷ðŸ’
[Master, I sense human life onwards.]
Integrity said inside my head.
"Never knew your that useful."
Following on what Integrity said, I glanced at a far distance and there are literally humans in that area--- No, that seems to be a village.
"The village seems to be attacked."
Although I only stumbled upon this village, it is already on the verge of destruction.
[Master, those knights must be from a certain kingdom.]
"Fumu..."
Indeed, looking at the attackers they wore armours that have a crest on their should pads. Their color scheme is red and white...
"Nn? That seems to be their leader."
When I finished analyzing the knights, a person that seems to be their leader showed himself.
He wore a mantle with golden embroidery and his cape is deep red.
Now that I noticed it, there flag or crest have a symbol that of a dragon.
"What should I do..?"
Should I help the villagers?
I begin moving to a closer area to examine the situation a bit more, specifically bush.
"GATHER ALL THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN! KILL ALL THE REMAINING MEN!"
The Leader Knight shouted orders towards his subordinates.
You may not know it but, when we were exploring the forest, Integrity taught me some of this world's magics and it seems that I am proficient in using Lightning, Space and Time, and Dark magic. However, im very weak in using the light element and I can only cast the spell 'Bright' which is the basic of the light element.
I then used magic to enhance my senses--- and then I heard disturbing conversations from the knights.
"Boss, boss. Can we have a go on the women?"
"Boss, we should also gather all the jewelries or goods inside this village."
Words like those were heard even if I am still a bit far away from them.
"No good... they are plundering, moreover, raping women..."
I have yet to see the knights rape the village women, they might be doing that when they are finished destroying the village.
"He... help... me..."
I heard a girl's voice and then looked towards the location of where the voice is.
A girl with long ears and silver white hair was drag along by the knights and they presented her to their leader.
"Hoh... for an elve to live here. Must be our lucky day."
Their leader exclaimed.
I was shocked by her beauty, nonetheless she is in danger now.
[Master, you should help now--- No, Master, you should save the village.]
"But I don't know who are the bad guys though..."
[Master, do you have eyes or a brain? Just by looking at that you may already know which of them are the opposition.]
I wanted to retort but this thing is right.
"Un... Integrity, what spell should I use? that will not be seen as an irregular by some humans?"
[Master, lightning magic.]
I nodded at the suggestion.
"Okay. I'll go with that."
As I tried to cast lightning magic, sparkling balls float around at my fingertips. The colors of each ball is crimson red. The sparks it produce scatter around the air.
I begin concentrating in aiming on each and one of those knights head.
"No matter how strong they're helms are, my magic will pass through."
As if trying to commanding it, the balls stretched out towards their target and hit the knights head along with their leader.
"Fuu~ That was easy."
Was my magic a bit overkill?
I thought that the helms can deter my magic though, since it was a mid tier magic.
[Master, it was overkill.]
"Hah~ Your right."
Well other than that, after coming out to go near the knights corpse. The elven girl warily watched me as I walk towards her.
"Ah. Don't worry I came to help."
"Wh- who are you...?"
"Hm?"
The girl quivered while asking me questions.
"Ar-- are you a mage from the... the kingdom?"
"What kingdom do you speak of?"
"The... the kingdom of astrocies..."
Pondering for a while, Integrity suddenly replied.
[The Kingdom of Astrocies is bordered with Larace Empire in between Mount Carolina.]
"Hm? Then what is Mount Carolina?"
[Mount Carolina. It is this world habitat of monsters... Mostly ranging from Class C to S.]
I get it, so in that Mountain. There are strong monsters. fumu. fumu.
Nodding my head I replied.
"Then why is a village near the border?"
[What are you talking about? Master, this village is 5 kilometers away from the territory of mount carolina.]
"Eh? Then did I truly walked? It feels like I was taking a stroll though..."
[That's because of your body, Master.]
Integrity then continued on saying--
[Master's body is only that like of an illusion, however, your true physical strength and magical power is still intact even if you morph and of course sexual intercourse is a go.]
"The latter was unnecessary..."
Well if my body is good then it's all good. I guess...
I glanced at the girl that I saved just a moment ago... No good, I completely forgot about her.
She looks at me as if I'm some kind of beast.
Its Ok, its ok--- Thought to myself.
"Uhm... You are?"
I asked the elven girl.
