Chereads / Ascension of the Draconians / Chapter 6 - Primogenitor

Chapter 6 - Primogenitor

Brakos took his hands rubbed his face with a sigh and said "Yes it is possible, but the power needed and danger that comes with it would be immense."

"There is only one world I can send you to. Primus, the home to the Primogenitors. If you want that, I can but... the other Primogenitors will try and kill you to take your power to boost their own or prevent competition. Not to mention that it will be extremely hard if you want to start weak and gain power as any primogenitor will be born with power equivalent to a trained and experienced warrior." 

I smiled "That is why my powers will be locked away until I unleash them."

Brakos removed his hand from his face and looked at me. "What do you mean sealed?"

I smiled and explained my plan. "I do want to become a Primogenitor but not right away. Those powers will be sealed away in a container that only I can open and only when I have a good enough understanding of this world and how to hide/cover up my powers will I break the seal."

"This is partly why I want to make contracts with spirits, the energy they release could probably cover up my primogenitor powers. And to make sure others can't take my powers and control over my race shall be bound to the seal, a book that only I can write in."

Brakos took a minute and thought about my plan. I could see on his face a range of emotions, shock, wonder, excitement, worry, fear, admiration and curiosity. "Ok... that is well thought out... How did you come up with this so fast? We haven't even been here for an hour yet."

I shrugged "This is how I have always been, planning stuff has always been easy. Well, that and I was thinking about writing a book where that happened to someone, minus the whole library part."

"plus the reason why I want to start weak is kind of an unhinged part of me thinking of this opportunity as me being a character in an RPG video game. When playing games like that I am a grinder, asking for power at the start makes me feel like I am a Pay-to-win player while gaining power on my own makes me feel like I deserve it."

"Ah, ok. What about this book, you said your powers will be bound to it?" Brakos asked.

I replied "The book will be the container that holds my powers when I open the book the seal will be broken. To other people, it will seem like a normal blank book but when someone tries to write in it the writing disappears after a few seconds. But when I write in it it will stay and become a part of the book."

"The stuff I write in the book will pertain to my race. What I write will grant/change the traits, powers and abilities of my race. For example, if I write that we can breathe fire we will be able to breathe fire."

"Of course, this is a big ask and is extremely overpowered for me to just write down powers and gain them. So to balance this, I decided to go video game style, to grant us an ability I will write it in the book and the book will give me a quest to do like kill someone, gather certain materials, learn certain information or do a certain thing.

"The quests could be dangerous and some could be simple depending on what I want, some examples of dangerous quests could be to save a certain person from a cult, harvest a dragon's scales, or freeze a kingdom in a glacier. Some easy ones could be to, learn the biological functions of a dragon, gather a magical herb, craft a certain item or negotiate with a spirit.

"We can have all the information I need in the book and we can go over details later but what do you think of my plan?" I said with a smile as I looked at Brakos.

Brakos sat there for a few minutes not moving, just processing this information. 'Fuck me what did I get myself into.' Thinking to himself.

I looked at him with concern and was about to ask if he was ok until...

Brakos then suddenly burst into laughter. "HAHAHAHA, oh you really are psychotic but that just makes this even better." He kept laughing "Ok this is amazing you are probably the first person to ever catch me this off guard before and I love it. Your plan is great and well thought out. It is very much possible, some tweaks will have to be made but I can do it."

I smiled upon hearing that.t

Then Brakos held his chin and started mumbling to himself thinking. I could make out a few words but not enough to tell what he was saying.

After a little bit, Brakos started to speak louder, both to me and thinking aloud to himself "It will take some time to make a book like that and even more time to arrange what you want. Overall it could take a few months and I need you here to go over the details so I can't just send you there now and give you the book later."

He turned to me with a plan in mind and said, "Ok, for now, you will have to stay here in the library. When the book is almost done, I will send you to this world to adjust and learn about it. Then when the book is finished I will bring it to you and you can start your journey as a primogenitor."

"While I work on the book you can read a few books here but always ask me what you want to read first. The books in the library engrave their contents onto your soul while you read them. That way no matter what, you will always know what you have read here. But I must warn you. If you read more than your soul can handle you could damage your soul so much it will shatter."

"Oh wow. OK, um..." I said surprised and thought for a second about what books I wanted and about the books I had tried to read before. "Can you give me some books on how to strengthen your soul, books on spirits, and books on how to hide/suppress magic signatures? That and I do also want to ask why I couldn't read a book before?"

"Sure," Brakos said and snapped his fingers.

Suddenly a few books came flying from the shelves and landed on the coffee table in front of me. "Here are the books you want and why you couldn't read a book before is that you need my permission before you can. Sorry I have to rush things I want to get to making your book right now, I will come and get you when I need you." Brakos then got up, turned, and left in a hurry with an excited look on his face.

I watched as Brakos left like a kid on Christmas, and turned to the books Brakos left "Huh, well this will be fun," I said with a slight laugh. Smiling I started reading the books Brakos left for me.
