Chapter 7 - Ch 7: The Dragon's Arrival

Leon opened his eyes and saw his familiar bedroom. He was lying on his bed, holding his phone. He looked at the time and saw that it was 10:15 pm. He had been gone for only 15 minutes.

He felt a wave of relief and joy.

He had made it back.

He had survived.

He had completed his mission.

He had made a deal with a dragon.

He looked at his phone and saw his status screen. It showed his name, level, health, mana, attributes, skills, and equipment. It also showed his reward.

[Reward: 100 gold coins.]

He tapped on the reward and saw a pile of gold coins appear on his bed. He picked one up and examined it. It was shiny and heavy. It had a dragon symbol on one side and a number on the other.

He wondered what he could do with it.

He decided to keep it for now.

He looked at his phone again and saw another icon on his status screen. It said 'companion'.

He tapped on it and saw a profile.

He was amazed by the information. He realized that this was the dragon that he had made a deal with. The dragon that he had brought with him to Earth. The dragon that he had promised to befriend, accompany, and love.

He wondered where she was.

He heard a knock on his door.

He got up from his bed and walked towards the door.

He opened it and saw her.

She was standing in front of him, smiling.

She was beautiful.

She had red hair, green eyes, and a fair skin. She was wearing a white dress, a gold necklace, and a pair of earrings. She looked like a princess.

She was Ria.

She was his companion.

She said in a sweet and cheerful voice.

"Hi, Leon. I'm here."
