"Skyler, we are all going to die! Give back the dragon's jewels, you bastard!"
A loud, desperate voice shouted as the owner of the voice dodged a massive claw by a hair's breadth that was attempting to tear his body apart.
"Shit!"
He rolled over, dirt filling his mouth and coating his hoodie and sweatpants. He had even lost one of his sneakers. And to think he was the transmigrator—summoned from another universe to change the story! A gray screen, visible only to him, flashed in front of his eyes, mocking him.
#Keeper of Time: I told you not to change what has already happened once too much, but you didn't listen. Just don't die; I have invested a lot in you.
A flood of curses surged through Zack's mind as he read the message. Like every young Light running to survive around him, he glared at the youth with ash-brown hair sprinting far ahead of them.
They were on the brink of death under the dragon's wrath, all because of that bastard who had wiped its treasury clean!
If looks could kill, Skyler would have died a thousand times already!
Another handsome figure opposite Zack shouted at the youth with ash-brown hair.
"For heaven's sake! Stop, Skyler!"
This young man exuded a saintly aura, just like those who wants to save the world, as he rescued another from the dragon's fiery breath, sustaining injuries in the process.
Max grabbed his injured arm and ran with the person he just saved.
His eyes flashed with relief when Skyler glanced back, but the latter's next words nearly made him want to spit out blood.
"Nope. I found the jewels, so they are mine. Why should I give them back?"
Hearing this, Zack felt like shedding tears of blood. He wanted to shout at Max: 'You are the damn protagonist of this story! You can't even catch a weak Light elementist! Who the hell made you the protagonist!'
But he could only swallow his grievance. After all, it was 99.99% his fault that the protagonist was no longer the protagonist and his place had been snatched!
Who the hell said side characters who are meant to die would be good companions and risk their lives for you if you saved them and changed their fate?
Suddenly, the massive blue dragon, with scales that glistened like sapphires in the sunlight and wings stretching wide enough to cast a shadow over everything in its path, let out a thundering, furious roar, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Its long, elegant horns and sharp fangs glimmered as it swung its lengthy tail to obliterate the towering coniferous trees and structures surrounding it, searching for the rat who had stolen its treasures.
However, it was destined to be disappointed until the end because the rat had already escaped, leaving behind the people who were cursing the said 'rat' incessantly.
Hiding inside a small structure made of multiple rocks stacked upon one another in the distance, Skyler peeked out with a pair of innocent blue eyes, gently caressing the numerous rings on his fingers.
"What a bountiful day it is."
To understand how the weak 'Light elementist,' who was declared a waste and destined to live an ordinary human life, is now tormenting the two big shots, we need to go back a few years in time.
No, no, do not think he is the bad guy. He has suffered a lot, just like all those people with tragic backstories in the novels! His own blood sister, who is currently fighting alongside that Max guy, left him to die!
And let us not even mention that Zack guy, who changed his op fate and wanted to use him, only to ditch him when he found out he was useless and had no future!
