Chereads / Xenos The Abysmal / Chapter 6 - Dragons

Chapter 6 - Dragons

***time skip a couple weeks later***

Some time has passed since his first meeting with the pink-haired girl named Akame. Xenos has developed his ability to walk and speak, but kept it hidden, though he's shown his parents he can crawl. Also, today he had gotten a mission.

"Host, a mission has arrived due to your curiosity."

"Finally, wait, my curiosity, how so and 'Show Missions'".

Read a book about dragons.

Reward: 400 EXP, +5 in all stats, +10 MP, 1 BP

"Yes host, due to your curiosity for the species called Dragons you've been assigned this mission. Missions are usually given if the system deems it worthy and in your interest. For example saving a beautiful princess, or simply consuming knowledge."

"Alright, and for the mission how is it that I can even read?"

"Host, due to your previous knowledge on Planet Earth you've been given the tongue of this world's language directly into your mind, courtesies from the goddess who gave you your wishes."

"Ok guess that works for me... by the way you want a name?"

"Anything the host can give me I will kindly accept!"

"How about Hana... nah doesn't seem right. Lilith, after my former sister?... definitely not. Minerva after the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare... wisdom yes, but not warfare. Oh yeah, Sia seems better, I think it was the deification of wisdom in Egyptian mythology. How about that?"

"Thank you Host, I shall now be named Sia."

Then something popped up in the corner of his eyes.

'Mission Completed'

"Huh do I get ads... never mind it seems I've completed a mission, 'Show Missions'."

Read a book about dragons.

Reward: 400 EXP, +5 in all stats, +10 MP, 1 BP

Completed

Name the system (Hidden)

Reward: 400 EXP, +10 in all stats, +30 MP, 1 BP

"A hidden mission, this is so game like, Sia, since I completed the mission will it stay in the missions tab?"

"After a completed mission is seen in the missions tab it will then go away, if you don't look at all it will also disappear but take more time, giving you a chance to look at it if you are busy. The reward however automatically adds itself into where it should be placed, like increased mana points for example into your status where it is displayed."

'So it did increase, also the amount of blood points I have is displayed here as well.' He thought to himself.

"Now it's mission time, Sia, where do I find books in this vicinity?"

"I'm sorry host but you have to find that yourself."

"You got any skills I can purchase for that?"

"Yes, but you don't have enough blood points host."

"I'm too poor, guess I'm on my own then."

Xenos begins to sneak out from his room.

"Creee..." as he opened his door.

'Sh*tty door' he thought

"Ok, now that I'm out of the room I'll need to find the location of either the library or a study room."

Xenos spends the next thirty minutes going door to door through the halls of the castle looking for the right room. As he's been going through rooms and the halls, he's also teleporting and sneaking around to prevent himself from being heard.

'Where the hell is the books' he complains.

At last he opens a door and finds a medium sized room with shelves of books on his left and right, at the other side of the room was a desk with multiple stacks of papers with a decently large window behind it.

"This must be my father's study room, now time to find that book."

As he searched and searched through the shelves, he found a book called 'Ancient Book of Dragons'. He then began reading.

Of all creatures that lay on titan, the indisputably strongest race, individually, would be Dragons. These mythical beasts have the intelligence surpassing that of even Elves, Djinns, Phoenixes, and other beings. They appeared big or small, but are never underestimated, for great destruction is within their capabilities. The Dragon races downfall, however, is that they are very prideful beings.

Eons ago our continent was riddled with dragons, atop all other races were they. No single race could go against them, for fear they would be sent to extinction. Thus, the other races started to collaborate, against the Dragons. Soon a large battle shook the world of Titan separating land masses, splitting oceans, decimating volcanoes to nothing. Though the races were nothing to the dragons, the amount of foes the dragons had to face were far too many. They soon flew away, disappearing, hence a new era began...

Xenos was raised into the air with large hands in both of his armpits.

'What the hell?' He thought, surprised.

"It seems like someone is reading over here, interesting." As the unknown individual looked towards his book.

'Oh it's just my dad' he thought once he turned his head.

A white-blonde haired handsome man was seen with a white-haired baby in his hands, as he looked at the infant with curiosity.

"If you can get here, nonetheless read, then you must be hiding your capabilities." he said looking at Xenos.

'Oh sh*t, he's right, I'm stupidly suspicious' he thought.

"Looks like you got a book about dragons, maybe you were just looking at the pictures, though since its a book on the higher shelves, maybe you can..." he started mumbling.

"Ok, let's test something out," Orion said with a smile on his face.

He lifted the boy up, over his own head.

"Huh this reminds me of a certain lion" thought Xenos.

"Alright time to see if this works" his father says.

Orion then lets go of the baby.

"Oh sh*t" as Xenos felt weightless. His body had started tightening its muscles. Blood was pumping faster than ever, his eyes widened and pupils dilated. Then realization hit him. He closed his eyes, 'Teleport', his bottom touched the ground where he was sitting down before, like nothing happened.

"O-R-I-O-N."

Both he and his father turned to look at the door, there stood an alluring woman if she didn't have a facial expression that might have even scared death itself.

"ha...ha...my beloved I was just testing my...our sons abilities."

"OH REALLY" she went.

'HAHA, that's what that ret*rd gets, daring to scare me like that', Xenos thought to himself.

"Oh my little child, come to mommy," said Eden after she beat her husband.

"Mommy" he went to flatter her.

Eden's mouth curled, as she gave the most divine smile Xenos had ever saw.

"Mommy, mommy" he went again wanting to see more of the marvelous sight.

"My sweet child, mommy won't let that happen ever again" as she hugged him against her twin peaks.

Xenos loved the gentle touch to his hands and the adoration given to him, until he couldn't breath again.

"Dad-d-y" he struggled to say, in order to get his life saved.

Eden's smiled again, turned her head to look at the smiling Orion, who then smiled crookedly, as she made sure he didn't move or he'd receive another punishment.

'Why does this always happen to me' Xenos thought till he passed out.
