Chapter 5 - awakening 1

"Ahaah.....ahhhhhhh... murder...help someone help... here's a murder.....you killed him..... you murderer " Screamed the old granny in panic and she got frozen in fear.

"cough ....."

Shu who has fallen to his knees cough up blood from his mouth and lay down on the ground, his body became heavy from all the blood loss. His shirt was dyed red from all the blood.

"Shut up you old bitch, this bastard deserves it. How dare he beat me up, initially I didn't want to use the gun but now he forced my hands. He'll definitely die hahaha. This is what happened when someone messes with me, so what if you can beat in a fight you can't beat a gun? hahaha..." the man said and started laughing viciously.

"Sorry old hag but now that it comes to this I can only kill you to silence you. There's no one here other than us so no one will know I did this ." after saying that the man pointed the gun at the granny ready to shoot again.

"No ... please don't kill me, I'll give you everything I have and I won't say anything. Please don't kill and don't kill the boy, I'll make sure he also doesn't say anything about you. Don't kill me." the granny begged the man.

"Sorry hag no hard feelings but I don't want to take chances." saying that the man pulled the trigger.

[BANG..]

The bullet hit the granny strait on the head and she died without even given the time to scream.

"I better get out from here before anyone comes, the gun sounds are sure to be heard by someone." saying that the man took the bag and run away from there, leaving behind the dead granny and the almost dead Shu.

Shu who had a bullet in his heart saw this happening but couldn't do anything. His body is becoming extremely heavy and his vision darkened, he could feel his life slip away every moment little by little. This is when in his mind a single thought lingered, he didn't want to die. He is extremely unwilling to go down like this, in a dark ally all alone beside a corpse.

'I don't want to die here not like this without accomplishing anything. I am a top student at school, I have rich parents, I wanted to be an astronaut and go to space, I wanted a beautiful and sexy big sis as a girlfriend in high school.' as Shu is thinking all this his vision completely darkened and his breath almost stopped.

'Is this the end? I wish I could start again, would someone come a save me. I'll give them anything.'

as Shu started to surrender to death a voice he was all too familiar with because of the constant same dream from the last week rang in his ears or specifically in his mind.

"This is not the end. This is but a brand new beginning for you and this empress." after hearing the same voice of the woman but different words Shu was confused but as he was at the brinks of death he thought he was hallucinating, but the next moment he realised he is wrong because before his eyes were there was totally darkness a few moments ago is now filled with the colour crimson and he felt that he is drowning in that crimson world but his body is in the same place it is like something or some power is pulling his consciousness out from his body and taking it into the crimson world.

Felling this he wondered was he going to the underworld because from what he read and saw on TV's that hell is all bloody and lava so red look identical, then he felt sleepy and lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time Shu's eyes opened slightly and what he saw left him shocked to the core of his soul. He turned his head to look at the other side but all he saw is dark red or crimson to be precise, crimson fire and red sky, bloody red land reaching far and wide seemingly endless.

"I know the domain is beautiful, but we don't have time to appreciate nature mortal human." just when Shu was observing the surroundings a booming voice made him aware that he is not alone in this mysterious place, he got company.

But the next scene caused him to tremble heavily, and fear crept into his mind. Because the thing or the creature in front of him is an entity he is all too familiar with, he had seen them in many movies, anime and manga series, the creature know and hailed as the emperor of beasts a Dragon.

A body so huge almost 200 meters long and 120 to 150 meters wide, the dragon is seating on its four legs. The dragon's body is covered in scales, bright and thick scales that are also crimson covering the body like armour. A long tail and nack like a plant-eating dinosaur with enormous wings that looks like bat wings but the thick scales replaced the soft skin's. The dragon looked magnificent with an arrogant and dignified air with a royal demeanour that oppresses everyone to submit and serve under its might.

The dragon is looking at Shu with inspecting eyes with its giant head very close to Shu. its eyes are deep red and its pupils are slit and vertical like snakes.

Watching the dragon from so close in front of his Shu realised how the ant's felt, the creature is many times bigger than him. He is stunned seeing such a creature from up close, although because of boredom he also read several mangas and watched multiple anime, he also imagined how it would be like to meet a dragon someday, he never thought that after almost dying he would meet a true red dragon.
