Happy reading!
===========
In Ethan's inner world, he was currently sitting with his legs crossed.
Underneath there was only nothingness, emptiness.
Dark, like in an void.
"..."
His head lifted, feeling something had changed.
The sky began to glow, crimson.
It's just that the aura emitted is very terrifying, as if the world could collapse at any time.
[Ding! Automatic defense against soul has been granted!]
[Something big is about to happen, be careful, Host!]
Ethan was silent, not expecting the system to tell him something like this.
But what surprised him most was the defense he/her provided, free of charge.
"Not like usual..." Ethan muttered softly as he stared at the pink window.
[... I'm just doing my job as a system.]
[And again the system will only save the host when you are in a critical situation.]
For some reason, these words made Ethan happy but it didn't last long, looking at the next system notification.
[oh, I did this for myself! Keep this in mind, host.]
Even though it only contained writing, Ethan could feel how arrogant it was, as well as its expression. Imagine.
"Tch, then I'll say thank you!" Ethan said in a loud tone, feeling annoyed.
Even so, he immediately restrained himself, looking back at the sky.
"w-what is that?" he asked in surprise, seeing something strange start to land.
[It's a dragon, just not fully formed.]
"d-dragon?! What do you mean? And also why is this in my inner world!?" he once again asked, this time his tone was louder. Panic.
His heart was filled with fear, afraid that something bad would happen.
Suddenly a notification appeared in front of him.
[Ding! Obtained 25% Dragon Essence from the goddess of destruction.]
[Host, you are allowed to choose whether to combine them or not.]
[Accept/No.]
[Please choose wisely, it will greatly influence your future.]
"..."
Ethan didn't intend to answer, he was currently silent where he was.
Hoping that what he saw was wrong, unfortunately he had to accept reality.
This was reality, and he still felt confused about the current situation.
He didn't even know what was happening in the outside world, it was chaotic.
Ethan, he was deep in thought. Lasts for several minutes.
Until finally he woke up, looked again at the notification in front of him.
Soon, a wide grin formed on his lips as if he had made up his mind.
"it's just a waste of resources, then I'll choose 'accept'!"
"click-"
After he pressed it, something big happened.
His soul began to shine, from what was originally transparent it began to change shape.
His body began to look lifelike, even his ghost-like legs began to take shape.
His current form is similar to an ordinary human, only... His eyes have changed like a predator.
Ethan's vision began to sharpen, reaching a radius of several kilometers.
[The changes in you have begun, please wait.]
[1% Synchronization.]
[25%...]
[49%...]
[79%...]
[95%...]
[99%...]
[100%!]
[Your soul has completely transformed into a half-dragon, this will be of great help to the host to fight against the gods.]
[If one day they dare to enter you without your permission.]
Hearing the explanation from the system immediately made Ethan very happy, he felt this was something extraordinary.
"Great! Does that mean I can also fight gods?" Ethan asked in a curious and hopeful tone.
[No, remember, you only have 25% of the dragon race's bloodline, and that's not enough for you to fight against even low-level gods.]
Ethan's face became gloomy, feeling that this was a waste.
[u-uh... Never mind, host. Come on over and take a look at this!]
Suddenly the system panel started to change to look like a television.
The color is clear, without any pink color.
Seeing Iris now near him, hugging him.
Ethan was subconsciously shocked, not knowing what happened.
Don't know who that woman is, she is very different from that girl.
Even though it was from her chest, it really stood out.
"ah... What happened?" Ethan asked hoping to hear an explanation.
[host, thank the girl because she was the one who saved you.]
"eh?" Ethan was surprised to hear that fact.
Didn't expect this crazy woman to save him. he was just curious.
He wonders why she looks like that, and asks himself who she is.
'Beautiful..' Ethan admitted how beautiful she looked in this form. her chest was pressed very tightly against his chest.
Unfortunately he couldn't feel it, feeling very disappointed.
"hah..." he took a deep breath, and immediately forgot the stupid things in his head.
Focused again on looking at himself who was currently unconscious.
For some reason the shape is very different, there are wings between its back.
"...!"
Ethan, once again had to feel surprised to see something crazy like this.
"T-That's me?" he said in a stuttered voice, hoping that what he saw was wrong.
[Correct.] The system confirmed, without caring about his reaction.
"..."
Ethan was silent, he experienced a serious shock today.
Luckily the only thing that changed was his wings, he felt safe.
In the end he gave up, accepting the fact that Iris had saved him.
'Becoming half dragon huh... How stupid!' Ethan thought excitedly, feeling happy.
Suddenly his consciousness faded, feeling like he was being swallowed by something.
"ugh..." unfortunately Ethan couldn't fight back, his entire soul was weakened.
Finally he fell into a deep sleep, not knowing what happened.
Outside Ethan's inner world, Iris was now hugging him.
The form it uses still looks the same, there are no changes.
Even though she had given him the dragon essence, it didn't change the fact that her strength would decline.
Nothing changed, the energy still looked terrifying.
Crimson energy could still be seen continuously gushing out, without stopping.
"Nephew, are you serious about giving your race essence to him?" Ophelia asked, she was already nearby.
Iris, looked at her place. Her expression had returned to normal.
"That's right, I'll give it even if it's just a small portion." Iris answered slowly, calmly.
"..."
Ophelia could only remain silent, her heart still filled with disbelief.
'Damn... If the dragon progenitor finds out, I'm afraid...' her face suddenly filled with horror, remembering a man with dark black hair.
Has two horns on top of his hair, very sharp.
Its wings are so wide, they even cover almost the entire large area of land.
He flew through the sky, carrying a woman like a sack of potatoes.
And below it looks completely destroyed, it is an ancient building.
This place was originally very green and full of resources. But, after the man appeared everything burned.
Being a sea of fire, his eyes were extremely sharp.
Ophelia, suddenly her body shivered remembering the form of the person in her head.
'this is driving me crazy!' She became more panicked, feelings of fear continued to surge in her heart.
But she immediately tried to calm herself, turning back to where the two of them were.
Staring at Ethan complicatedly. Soon, a small grin appeared on her lips. Beautiful.
"Iris, let me reward this human." she said calmly, sincerely.
"Auntie... Don't tell me you're going to-" Before she could finish her words, Iris saw Ethan's body glow.
The color was gold, surprising Aurora and the others.
"she gave her blessings to him?" Erylis muttered in disbelief, not expecting this to happen.
"That's true..." Celestia replied slowly, she continued to look up at the sky.
"This is truly unbelievable, isn't it?" Athena said calmly, feeling pleased with Ophelia's actions.
She knew what the benefits would be if he received a blessing, especially if it came from a supporting goddess.
After all Ophelia is the goddess of luck, it would be very useful.
"You're right..." said the three of them at the same time.
Looking back up at the sky, seeing what the current situation is.
Aurora, she started approaching Ethan to see if there was anything strange.
Even so, she was upset to see his race change.
'hybrid...' she thought to herself as she continued to look ahead.
Currently she was near Ophelia, on her left side.
"Thank you, Auntie." Iris said quietly, a slight smile appearing on her face.
"nod-"
Ophelia just nodded her head while showing a beautiful smile.
Soon, Iris began to descend from the sky towards where Athena and the others were.
Aurora and Ophelia were the same, they started following her from behind.
This went on for a while until it finally touched the floor smoothly.
"Ethan!"
Athena immediately ran towards him, wanting to see the situation.
Even though she felt annoyed, Iris let it go.
After all, she was her friend, didn't want to hurt her.
"Is he okay?" she asked seriously, hoping to get an answer from her soon.
"Don't worry, he will wake up from his fainted soon." Iris answered in a serious tone, without any lies.
Celestia, she also started to approach them with curiosity.
Seeing that Ethan's form had changed slightly, even though it was only his wings.
It was black, like dragon scales.
"huft-" breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the situation starting to calm down.
Even so, she was surprised to see Iris's careless actions.
'Does this girl know how precious dragon essence is?!' she shouted in her heart, feeling like hitting her.
But she didn't dare say it directly in front of her, afraid that the situation would become complicated again.
In the end she gave up and turned back to Ethan.
Her eyes once again glowed, light green in color.
'oh... This is interesting, now there are two of them.' Celestia muttered to herself, her face filled with admiration.
Her interest continued to soar endlessly, perhaps almost surpassing Erylis's Affection.
Suddenly she saw his body move, as if showing his consciousness.
His eyelids also began to open, looking very sharp. like a sword.
"Are you up already?" Iris said softly, her gaze filled with feelings of love.
Her heart warmed, glad to see him alright.
"u-ugh... Where is this?" Ethan asked while holding back the pain in his head.
It feels throbbing.
"on the roof of the school building." Celestia immediately told him, not wanting to be overtaken by the three women.
"..."
And that earned her a very sharp stare, even though she didn't care.
"oh..." after that Ethan walked away from Iris, the way he looked at her was complicated.
Didn't know what to say, after all she was the one who saved him.
And she was also the one who changed himself to be like this, feeling happy.
Even so, for some reason his heart was beating erratically, as if something was blocking it.
"gulp-"
But Ethan immediately suppressed his feelings.
"huft-" took a deep breath, then let it out. "hah..."
