Chereads / The Hero Dies / Chapter 2 - What was supposed to happen

Chapter 2 - What was supposed to happen

[A silver-haired woman came walking towards him; her name was Yukiko. She was in her normal human form and had finally calmed down. Without her poly morphing, she looked like a saintess. You can see none of the trace of that blood lust nor of that monstrous expression that she had earlier; you can truly mistake her for someone so innocent that wouldn't even hurt an ant.]

[Meanwhile, as she was approaching him, she began hearing the words that he spoke.]

"You were meant to be a hero!!!."

"You were meant for greater things!!."

"D-Dont die. No, G-Go back to life!!!!."

[As Kafka rocked his body back and fort while crying]

'Is he trying to comfort him, how could he believe in my brother so much?. what a good guy!!, He's even crying for him, he'd even tried to sacrifice himself for my little sister. There's no way someone like him could be a bad guy!!, surely he must be a victim.' [Yukiko thought to herself as she felt mesmerized by his reaction to his brothers passing, even though they were strangers she could feel the guilt within him, after doing even the selfless action of trying to save her little sister.]

'Is he saying that he should've been the one to die!! (The only thing she got right lol), what a selfless man, I've decided, I'll save him no matter what!!, I won't let him carry this burden alone' [That day a misunderstanding began.]

[He woke up in a room. and began narrating thoughts in his head, from a readers perspective, to better remember the exact memory.]

(LOOORE Drop.)

In this world. The Tales of The Dragon Beast Hero everyone has a unique lineage to them or a rare bloodline, that unique lineage can make them awaken the power of a beast inside them, whether it be a Tiger, a Shark, or even a Dragon, and they have stages in which they could tap into the power of the beasts in their bloodline, obviously it is inherited from your ancestors. Because of this you can receive your inner beast from either your father or your mother, it has a fifty fifty percent chance. however there are always rare cases where you can receive both or have a combined beasts in other words a mutated inner beast, those are what they call variants, the surrounding reasons around this rare phenomena is fairly unknown, although there have been attempts to try and figure out the truth.

But one thing is for sure being a variant can either be a blessing or a curse. Because it can make you the strongest power house, so long as your body can handle it, basically OP, while on the other hand if your body is weak AF, and can't handle being a variant, it can make you really really weak. as your body adjusts the power of the inner beasts depending on your bodies condition, basically an old survival instinct ingrained in the body of everyone here in this world.

You're probably curious about the inner beast of the body that I transmigrated into right?, you should be, because I'm the main character of this novel now, anyways mine is that of a wolf, so basically I can poly morph into a werewolf, but I haven't gotten to that stage yet, as it is still early in the story, I can maybe turn at least a single finger at max.

[His middle finger turned into a finger covered in fur and had a single long nail, CREEPY!!]

Now going back to the original main character, the one whose inner beast, that most of you are probably the most curious about. You guessed it a Dragon, I mean what else do you expect it is literally written on the title of the novel that I red, basically the Dragon inner beast is the most powerful of Inner beast of them all, to the point that some people even worships them as royalty, so you can probably guess how f#cked I am and everyone in this world.

The Dragons inner beast consists of powers that are rule breaking or law bending, their powers are akin to a god, with some even being able to manipulate time, space, and unknown elements of nature. Compared to my measly inner beast of a wolf it's so weak, I mean don't get me wrong a werewolf is still powerful, as I am still a lineage of a noble, but it's just not dragon like. It's basically comparing a power that is a B+ rank at max to an SSS+ rank potential power. I really am dead am I?, I better enjoy my life while I'm still here....

"Sigh, I'm really doomed...." Kafka said in a dreaded voice, as he got up from his bed to wash his face.

'It's been about a day since I've been rescued, anyways Yukiko that supporting character took me to her home, but she looks fulfilled even though it was her brothers death, what a weird woman...'

'It's time for me to collect myself'

Slap!! Slap!!

[Both of his cheeks turned red]

'Let's recall everything that happened so far, I'll recollect my memories. I guess I'll begin on what was supposed to happen'

The story begins by introducing the main character Ryherth which also had silver hair, as for his appearance, I guess he looked like the male version of his older sister Yukiko, so he was pretty handsome. He was a genius prodigy that was able to poly morph an entire arm into a dragon at the age of twelve, and the other at the age of fourteen, finally he was able to poly morph both dragon wings at the age of sixteen and was able to use a single ability, oh and did I forget to tell that he was also a variant, he inherited both of his mother and fathers inner beast. The fire dragon from his mother, and the space dragon from his father, furthermore he had also kept this a secret but he also had a mutant dragon inner beast from both his father and mother combined, further enhancing his powers, and so he was the only one to have three inner beasts inside his body in the whole world, very main character like indeed.

Anyways when he turned sixteen, his little sister Cerra was kidnapped.

[Cerra the little girl that was kidnapped had red hair, that she inherited from her mother, her mothers bloodline runs thicker in her, because she looked like a kid version of her mother, which always had a fiery look on her face, completely the opposite of her husband which looked like a cheery god, that always had a sleepy face.]

Because they were trying to hold her hostage for ransom, pretty dumb indeed considering the victim that they chose was of a dragon lineage.

Now you're probably asking about the circumstances between that random extra guy that I transmigrated into, not much was mentioned about him in the novel except for the fact that he was a third rate villain. His backstory was that he was from the noble family of QuickSilver, a family with the inner beasts of werewolves, they were a corrupt family that is weak to the strong and strong to the weak. They were involved with various crimes such as human trafficking, drugs, and murder, you name it. Very typical of a third rate villain family indeed, yep nothing has gone wrong yet.

However one day they were caught doing these crimes, from there, their involvement to the other crimes and illegal groups that were related to them were exposed, kind of like a domino effect, one by one all of their family members were arrested. however since he was the weakest in the family, none bat an eye to him yet. Nonetheless fearing his arrest, as he was also involved in doing one of these crimes, Farkas ran away from home using his connection to these illegal groups, but because his family was falling apart, only one group let him in, however he did not know that they had other plans, and that this kidnapping was the only reason that they let him into their group, as they needed more manpower.

So you can probably guess where this is going, but he was the one tasked of holding the main characters sister hostage. pretty wise choice by his boss indeed. let's just trust the newbie that we know very little about, and could possibly betray us, what could go wrong?, although that didn't happen, it would've been a nice plot twist. I guess that was just the maximum brainpower a third rate villain group can produce. this is why the novel was so boring and I hate it.

Anyways what was supposed to happen in the novel was, Ryherth was supposed to switch position or teleport with Farkas, and block the incoming sword to Cerra, and then Farkas would have met the same fate as everyone getting their heads chopped off by Yukiko, however what happened was I instinctively blocked the incoming sword using my body, or rather Farkas's body, as I transmigrated.

The main character wasn't able to poly morph in time and block the sword using his dragon wings, that was unfortunate or maybe he got flustered by what I did. I guess his plot armor is gone.

Knock!! Knock!!

"Young miss, Yukiko is calling for you."

"Just wait for a little bit."

"Sigh... Now that the main character really is dead and I'm the one who's alive. Huh... It's like knowing that the sun is about to explode but only you know it, and you can't do anything but just watch....."

"Sir?."

"I'm coming."

"I guess it's time."
