As I opened my eyes in the darkness, I saw a blue screen in front of me. It read, "Welcome, son of the Dragon God."
When I read this, the first thought that came to my mind was, "My parents were humans, right? Weren't they?"
The blue screen, as if reading my mind, showed new letters: "Your father was a Dragon God who came to Earth just to have some fun, and you were born as a result of that."
My father was a Dragon God? That's new. I knew I was an orphan, but I accepted the fact that my father was a god quite easily. Maybe it had something to do with me being dead and in my soul form.
So what now? As I thought, the screen showed new letters: "As the bloodline you have is quite strong, its assimilation in Earth may cause its evolution or bring forth an apocalypse. So, you are given a chance to transmigrate to a different universe in exchange for your bloodline."
After reading this, I wondered, "Why not just take it from me forcefully?"
"Because it will cause a negative impact on the universe. So we have to give you something of equivalent value in exchange for your bloodline," the screen responded.
"Oh! So that's why," I murmured.
"Well, can I choose the world I will be transmigrated into?"
"No. The world is already chosen, with the least impact on the balance of existence," the screen replied.
I felt a bit sad reading that. I wanted to be in some anime world where I knew the future. Alas, it can't be helped. So I asked the system if everything was decided or if I had some options.
"Everything is almost decided, except the cheat ability you will have. You have the following options:
1. Some Dragon God bloodline ability (like Dragon Strength, Dragon Aura, or Inheritance).
2. A type of Dragon System.
3. A type of Bloodline System."
After reading this, I was in a dilemma. What should I choose? So, I asked for more details.
"Option 1 will provide you with a very powerful ability that will give you a high starting point compared to others.
Option 2 will provide you with a system that will lead to your transformation into a dragon.
Option 3 will have you spread your bloodline and be rewarded."
"Well, may I know the reason why everything is related to dragons?"
"Because even if we take away your bloodline, it still has some effect on your soul. If we try to change or remove it, it would cause significant damage to your soul, which is not favorable to us, and its effects are minimal."
"Hmm, so that's why."
After thinking for some time, I decided to choose the third option, as I am not the type who likes to fight a lot, and having something special would make me a target for the strong.
"I choose the third option."
"Very well. You will be transmigrated shortly."
Then I closed my eyes and waited for it.
