Chapter 5 - Torture

**Ryan POV**

"Tsk, that light bulb didn't even let me finish,"

Ryan snorted.

"And where am I,"

Ryan started looking around trying to find where he was but he could only see darkness,

A Darkness which was as dark as that place where he talked with Kaishi,

But...

"This darkness feels different; he thought, "if I were to describe it in words, that darkness was like that. It would devour me at any moment if Kaishi was not there, and this darkness is like it is protecting me."

Ryan, who was talking to himself, suddenly felt something different; he paused and looked at his hand.

"Hmm," he closes his hands and opens them like that a few more times and says.

"Yup, I'm getting weaker and losing the feel of my body, well it was not like I was super strong from the start but still to lose the meager strength I used to have is not a good feeling,"

Ryan, who knew he could do nothing even if he wanted to, just accepted his fate and ready himself for what was about to come.

And just like that, an hour passed while he continued to get weaker, and now he didn't even have enough strength to get angry and curse at Kaishi. He could only think inwardly.

'What the f##k is this? Didn't that light bulb say he's going to reincarnate me? Then why I'm in this hell of torture?'

Yes, Ryan could only think of this as torture, first putting him in this darkness where it made him feel protected but slowly he started to lose the strength in his body to the point where even speaking was an impossible task Making that feeling from darkness he felt something like his mistake or illusion messing with his head and making him go crazy.

Ryan, who was busy cursing at Kaishi inwardly for putting him through this torture, suddenly felt a jolt go through his whole unmoving body, and he felt his surroundings tighten like they were trying to suffocate him.

"What the heck is happening and why did it get warm suddenly,"

Being an overthinker, Ryan's thoughts often ran wild—too wild for his own good.

And, one word comes to his mind 'Reincarnate'.

"Right, he said reincarnation," and a thought came to his mind, "Don't tell me right now I'm in the womb of some woman who's going to be my future mother. I didn't even think of this," he said with surprise in his voice.

"Ohh, I can also feel my body and strength returning, but I shouldn't move. It will hurt her." He said.

Ryan, who didn't have anything to do, started saying some couraging words for his future mother, "Let's go, Mother. You can do it. Just give it a push," said Ryan.

Ryan, who was in the midst of supporting his future mother, heard a voice that shook him to his core.

"Rooaaaarrr."

"Wtf was that? Is she giving birth to me in the middle of the forest, and got attacked by some animals? I'm not even born yet, and I'm going to die this fast," Ryan thought, racing, trying to find what was happening outside.

"And what animal is this that could roar this terrifyingly? I don't think there is any animal that could roar like this. It almost feels like that dragon in one anime," Suddenly, Ryan realized something.

"I never asked him in what world was he going to reincarnate me," with that came another realization.

"I am dead," he started cursing Kaishi because he couldn't think of anything else.

Ryan, who was cursing at Kaishi, never could, in his wildest thoughts, think that a dragon was giving birth to him rather than a human. After all, no one could; maybe some could, but not Ryan.

"Huh? Why am I getting pushed don't tell me she's not running away but still focus on giving birth."

Ryan, who was saying something, felt his surroundings pushing him out, but this time, the push was way stronger than before, and he was out with the change of his surroundings. The temperature also changed, and he felt cold, which was for the current him too much.

But before he could tremble from the cold, he felt something surround him, and the temperature went back to normal; Ryan, who was suddenly surprised by the change of temperature and surroundings, tried to look around, but he couldn't.

"I still can't move. What is happening? It's as if something is holding me in place," Ryan thought as he felt his surroundings shift, bringing him face to face with a pair of enormous red eyes.

Shock and fear washed over him., 'Don't tell me my mother died, and this dragon picked me and is going to eat me now after eating my mother,' Ryan, who was scared, shitless.

didn't notice the dragon's eyes changing from a probing look to a warm look, but he did when the dragon spoke.

"Grancen, what are you doing? Came here, take a look at your child. Don't tell me you didn't like his white scale..."

Ryan, who somehow could understand what the dragon was saying, 'What, white scale, child and what,' Ryan, who was surprised at first, finally understood what was happening.

'So I'm not reincarnated as human but dragon what a pleasant surprise,' said Ryan with excitement.

'And she is my mother. Well, she looked quite cool with these black scales. Wonder what my father looked like,' Ryan, who was quite immersed in his thoughts, forgot that he couldn't move.

'Agh, right, I forgot I can't move since she called him, then it means he should be behind me, and right, how am I floating in the air? Is she using some power to float me in the air? Maybe that's also why I can't move.' Said Ryan.

'Ohh, she is lowering me,' Ryan was confused about why is she lowering him and how long his father would take to walk over to him.

Ryan, who was lost in his thoughts, suddenly felt a hand around him, which turned him around, and when he looked at it, who is it, he was stunned.

A man with flowing white hair that cascaded down his back, complemented by pointed fox ears that peeked through his locks. His striking golden eyes sparkled with youthful energy, giving him the appearance of someone in his mid-20s, exuding a blend of mystique and charm.

'WHO THE FU#K ARE YOU WHERE IS MY DRAGON FATHER,' Ryan shouted inwardly.
