Outside, there was an orange beem being shot into the sky, all of the Dragon Layer could see the phenomenon.
"Get everyone ready! A natural awakening has happened and its an SSS-rank one! RUN!" the dragon king yelled, although he wasn't near the power of a true king, his power could still level a city if he wanted too, and that was just himself.
"Get the reporters! This is big news! An SSS-rank awakening! Once in a million years! RUN!" the news agency said while thousands of reporters were flying to the spot.
It was about to get crazy.
...
WHOOSH
"Huh? Where am I?" Gura said while rubbing her eyes.
"Not this place again, what is it Narin." I said, looking at the white haired man with red horns growing out of his head.
"Congratulations! You have unlocked your first sin!" Narin said while running to hug me, but I dodged to the left.
"Oh, anyway..." Narin said as he looked towards Gura who was shocked out of her mind.
"You must be Gura, the sin of gluttony, a very OP sin indeed, as all of them are. So I will give you an explanation on what your mark is." Narin said as he summoned a mirror.
Gura looked at herself, there was lightning marks emerging out of her mouth, making her look like she was ready to eat anything.
"I-I look so cool!" she said jumping with joy.
"She has huge potential, accepting yourself is a must." Narin told me, I just ignored him.
"Anyway, gluttony is a theory mark, just like the rest of the seven sins. Gluttony allows you to eat anything and gain either a property, skill, or memory from the object." Narin said while pointing at Gura.
This is similar to soul eating, but on a whole other level, its broken!
"That doesn't mean you eat everything, if you eat an old man, you may gain his memories and it may change your personality completely, so be aware of your choices. Also, if the object is a higher rank that you, you may experience pain while digesting it, or even enter an eternal slumber. It's just a possibility, but be aware, don't eat an S-rank item from the get go until you reach a rank that's close to it." Narin said with a chuckle.
"Ok!" Gura said with her eyes shining, I knew just how cunning this man could be, he was the God of Sin, so he must have mastered the arts of seduction.
"That is all, continue your goal and I'll see you soon Akatsuki!" Narin said as he snapped, bringing us to our original positions.
RUMBLE
In the distance, thousands of dragons were running to our position.
"Oh no... GURA RUUNNNNNN
...
"How do you feel having an SSS-rank mark young lady?" a news reporter asked a young lady with glowing amber eyes and long black hair, she had black lightning strikes coming out of her mouth, this was Gura who was currently being paralyzed by all the attention.
I was currently sitting next to her waiting for the press meeting to be over. Such things were truly a pain in the ass.
"She will be the new dragon king!" people in the audience yelled, but they knew that only a male could become the dragon king.
"I'm sorry, but she is currently unable to handle the attention right now, so I think it would be bes-
"HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!" a thunderous roar echoed in the room.
The man who said this had long red hair and bright yellow eyes with orange slits inside them. He was relatively tall and extremely charming. He wore an extremely flashy armour and most importantly...
He wore a crown.
This man was the SSS-rank King of Dragons, not the real one, but close enough.
"Its Lord Kaen!" all the reporters said, turning the cameras towards the king with no hesitation, why look at a young girl with an SSS-rank potential when you have an SSS rank being infront of you that is extremely charming and is the current king of one of the most powerful races in the world.
"Young girl, you are the one with SSS-rank potential, am I right?" he asked casually, but he was not asking a question, he was demanding an answer.
"Y-Yes sir." she said with fear, but I did nothing, this man was out of my reach, and will be for most of my life, so it would be best not of offend him and his army of dragons.
"Amazing! I am Kaen, also known as the King of Dragons and the Lord of Destruction!" he said with pride, the amount of clicks capturing the pose he was making was astonishing.
"I invite you to my castle, be there at 5:00 sharp!" she said with a bright smile, he went right next to Gura's ears and said.
"Dragon's Law, tell that to the guard..." after that, he stepped out with style, everyone fawning over him.
I could tell he wanted Gura to be his tool, but with such talent, who wouldn't want an SSS rank talent to be their tool.
Gura's face was currently pale, but no one saw, in fact, many people left in a hurry to get footage of Kaen, goes to show how popular a king can be.
"Don't worry, you will be safe, I'll protect you." I whispered to Gura, signaling to her that it was time to leave.
....
"Wake up to reality..."
There were two men on a battlefield littered with corpses, one man was dressed in green and white armor and held a sword with ancient engravings. He had white hair and green eyes with an intimidating pattern in them. His aura resembled a fierce dragon, ready to tear down its prey.
The other man was shirtless, showing off his abs that were sculpted by god. He was devilishly handsome and he had two scarlet horns growing out of his forehead. He also had white hair, but he had crimson eyes with slits inside, oozing bloodlust.
"Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world." the shirtless man said in a solemn voice.
"But that doesn't mean you destroy it!" the swordsman yelled, but it didn't reach the ears of the demon.
"The longer you live, the more you will realize, the only things that really exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering, and weakness." the demon said while forming a trembling first.
"There is love, happiness, joy!" the swordsman tried to convince the demon, but it was to no avail.
"Listen... everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there are victor's, there will be the vanquished."
"I don't want to win! I just want to make peace!" the swordsman pleaded.
"And that selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace initiate's wars!" the demon yelled.
"Do you think I fought for no reason, my schemes, my hatred, my anger was born in order to protect my love." his eyes grew brighter.
"There are nexuses, casual relationships that cannot be broken! I am one of those many!"
"I want to destroy the fate of this world! I want to create a paradise, a world of only victors! A world of only peace! A world of only love!"
"I will create such a world! For truly this reality, is truly hell." the demon roared.
"W-Who are you!" the swordsman yelled, finally reaching the demons ears.
"You ask who I am? But I'm afraid you already know."
"I am...
ZIZPZPPZ
"Agh.." a boy moaned as he woke up, he had white hair and bright green eyes.
"Ahh, what a weird dream, well... time to wake everyone up. Let's get out of this place. I don't want to be here anymore." the boy said as he got out of bed.
This boy was Skyler
The protagonist of this story, and the key for this world to survive.
