[1st POV—Ethan]
'The time has finally come for me to leave this godforsaken prison and to rise above the cosmos.'
Yes, today I am finally going out of Tiamat's castle for the first time. It has been four years since I reincarnated in this world and this is the first time I'm going out, I'm now five years old.
Life here, no doubt, has been truly relaxing but also very boring. But I'm not complaining, I never had to worry about anything the only downside is I never once left the castle.
If you're thinking why I never tried to sneak out then you'd be disappointed, Tiamat is a terrifying space magic user. I already know the divine beasts have some degree of control over their respective territories—this is a privilege the goddesses granted them. But Tiamat is special as a space mage and a demigod; she can take full control over her territory and she is omniscient here, meaning she can observe everything going on here. So sneaking out is meaningless.
The most ridiculous thing is the food...if you can even call it food. I eat four times a day, however, the things that I eat can be considered anything but normal.
Because everything is a fucking rare-grade treasure here, if the pro gamers from my previous world saw me munching on the same treasures four times a day like they're pieces of candies when they had to burn money like paper to even acquire a single item, they would probably spit blood, their eyes would roll back and they'd faint, or they'd have their souls come out of their mouths.
Something more ridiculous is no one is even feeling any kind of reluctance or heartache while feeding me or watching me gulp down those precious items. Well, I gave up using the logic of the game, after my first year of surprise.
Knowing I'm Tiamat's grandson and with how old she is and the resources this land has it is understandable, I didn't even scratch the surface. The wealth she's accumulated throughout the years is astronomical.
The only work I've done till now acted dumb like I'm brain dead which in their opinion is cute and earns affection points here and there. As of now, I'm a proud self-proclaimed expert in the arts of being brain dead.
The only thing that's bothered me is my growth. I'm currently only at level 3 although my stats have grown my progress is like a turtle. When I asked the system the reason, it explained that since I'm a dragon my leveling speed will be slow and as of now, I've only completed the daily quests. I haven't fought with anyone or conquered some girls which are the main quests and sub-quests. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually ten times stronger than a human of the same age but because the humans are so weak at the start, they can level up quickly. I mostly wanted to reach level 10 quickly so I can use the shop function of the system.
The daily quests are easy like:
[Daily quests-

Every level up gives me 10 attribute points and 2 free attribute points which I can use on whatever I like and 2 skill points are the most important since I can level up my skills with them.

I spent all the free attribute points on speed because only my agility was not increasing with any treasure. I had to run a lot every day pretending I'm playing to increase my speed. I also decided to stock the skill points since I'm unable to use magic… for now anyway.
"Ethan, are you ready?"
Tiamat arrived to get me, she'll come with me too. Today I'm going to visit every kingdom ruled by my aunts. Although Tiamat is the real queen she doesn't handle any matter regarding the inhabitants. She divided the sea of stars into four sections and granted my four aunts authority to rule over a region; over the years they were able to build kingdoms.
"Yes, let's go!"
I shouted with real excitement not feigned excitement, I'm genuinely happy to be able to go travel outside.
"Fu..fufu..., look at you so happy to go out, do you not like to stay here?"
Tiamat said while faking sadness.
It made me almost roll my eyes at her trash tier acting skills but I can't do that. As a kid, I should act fooled or my cover will be blown, so I quickly put on my game face.
"No..no...that's not true, but I've never been outside so I am very excited."
I said a little flustered while scratching my head.
"Hehe... I believe you."
Tiamat chuckled, cupped my face, and kissed me on the cheeks.
"Let's go, hold my hand."
I did as she said. She then began to float in the air. Yes, we'll be flying. She can use teleportation, but I'll probably vomit by the sudden compression of space...
We are now high in the air while being carried by Tiamat, flying toward my first aunt's kingdom.
Tiamat is flying very slowly to let me see everything around us, the landscape is just like in the game. The endless sea spread through the four directions. The only pieces of land are islands; many islands some are small to large with each one having its own characteristics.
Suddenly, the everlasting dark sky changed colors like someone applied some kind of filter, green, blue, and purple weaves of luminous light enveloped the sky. The aurora lights in this region are a beautiful phenomenon of nature that only occurs here. The name of this region was named after them (Aurora Fields). My first aunt Apep is the ruler of this region, the name being Kingdom of Aurora. Her capital city is called Aurora city.
Because of the aurora lights, Apep's kingdom is the most famous tourist location in the dragon territory. Many people come to visit her kingdom every year.
From above, I can see how the group of islands make a circle; the biggest island is located at the very center which is where the capital city is and Apep's palace is located here.
"We have arrived. Look over there, the biggest island is the capital city. Apep also lives there."
Looking at the island she pointed at, I saw a big island with an enormous mountain, this island was shining bright.
"Do you want to see the city?"
"Yes, let's go quickly."
"Fufufu, aren't you an impatient brat. Hold tight, I'll fly fast."
Tiamat began to fly faster and the wind almost made me fall. It gave me a scare but I don't think I'll die from just falling—I don't want to find out, so let's keep that thought away.
We arrived near the island in a few seconds, the island is nothing special but beautiful and clean. The seashore is made of white sand with coconut trees here and there, we didn't land on the beach but flew past it. A few moments later, a city came into my sight; the design of the buildings is similar to Portugal. Colorful houses two or three-floors high at most with streets made of stones.
Soon, I saw a white color palace made of deep-sea coral stone, which is found deep inside the sea. Tiamat flew straight inside without anyone noticing, we landed in a garden full of various flowers where Apep was sitting on a chair with a cup in her hand.
She stood up after sensing our presence. Looking at me, she smiled brightly like always and opened her arms hinting me to hug her.
Who am I to deny such a beautiful lady of her much-deserved hug. I quickly ran up to her and embraced her in a tight hug, smashing my face between her big breasts.
"Hehe.. did you miss me, Ethan?" she asked me.
"Mm. I missed you a lot. Why don't you come to play with me anymore?"
I said, cutely. While pouting my cheeks.
"Hehe... aunty also misses you but I have a lot of work to do, I'm a queen after all."
Apep said while rubbing my back.
"Okay, let's go, I'll show you around my capital."
And like that, my tour around the City of Aurora began. It is time to gain some affection points. We started from her palace, it was nothing special just your average fantasy palace. The true fun began when we came to the city, there were many kinds of shops: Snack shops, fruit shops, coral jewelry shops, and item shops. Along the way I earned a lot of affection points, Apep is the one who likes cute things the most.
Currently, we are sitting on the edge of a fountain in the city center. I am eating a sweet fruit while Apep is just gazing at the people.
"Little Ethan, are you having fun? What do you think about my city?"
Apep asked me.
I thought for a moment then answered.
"Well, the aurora is awesome, the food is good, and I had a lot of fun and I like spending time with you."
I truly had fun walking around the city. It had been a long time, and this was my first time going out with a girl and such a beautiful one at that, so my mood is really good.
[150-affection points]
"Oh my, what a sweet talker~ You'll be quite the lady killer when you grow up, at least I hope so... "
Her last word was spoken like a whisper, but I still heard her words. I could feel some sadness in her tone. After a short while, we returned to the palace.
We spent the rest of the day together with her and Tiamat in the palace and we had dinner that was another round of rare-grade treasure. I decided to stay here for the night, Tiamat also agreed and stayed with me.
After today, my wish to travel all over the world only grew stronger. A week later, we'll go visit my second aunt. I can't wait to see her kingdom...
