6 Chapter 4: A dragon who encounters a cliche monster

Chimeras are a monstrous fire breathing hybrid creature composed of parts of more than one animal, it's usually depicted as its body as a lion with the head of a goat protruding from its back and a tail that might end with a snakes head. This demonic beast is very powerful with its quick reflexes, vicious attacks, and poison from the snake and this beast is completely weak of fire.

The crimson dragon immediately thought of its description as soon as he sees this multi-breed creature.

'So this creature is supposed to be my lunch today?' his eyes full of disgust just by looking at the creature.

Sure he had eaten goat meat before but it wasn't a full head, not even eyeing to willingly eat the lion or even the 'real poisonous' snake behind.

He turned a 180 and walked back towards the castle, if he's lucky he might encounter some delicious and edible food on the way.

But the chimera doesn't know how to give up even after being ignored and used its fast legs to run a little bit faster to the crimson dragon who was much larger than they are.

The crimson dragon notices its rapid presence slowly wrapping his left-back leg with its long snake tail.

'I don't like you, so why are you so clingy?'

His golden eyes flares shone darker, "I don't like people being clingy" He mumbled, though it was hard enough to cause a small shaking in the ground.

The multi-breed creature felt chill down their spines. how could they dare to oppose and even dared to challenge a dragon when they don't even have the qualifications to even scratch the guy.

They weren't strong enough.

"I don't like you being my lunch today so I'll spare your lives"

In his past life as Ryuuji Shinomiya, he was a guy who always avoids kinship even between friends and family. He hates the thought of becoming closer to people who freely touches his body out of nowhere.

And a clingy type of people were the most irritating people for him.

whether it was a human or a monster.

Be it ghosts or even God itself.

He was kind enough to slap them in the cheek even if those people were girls. he didn't even care if he was called to the guidance office for it.

("It was their fault, they were being a bitch") - was his answer.

Anyways, moving on. the chimera ran away and disappeared into sight,

And the nameless crimson dragon went back to the castle where he first woke up. He set things aside such as questioning why he was sent in his body or even became a dragon.

His goal was to satisfy his hunger first.

But he doesn't know where to find food. he thought if he were to fly up he can find food easily however, many would notice his existence and there will be more enemies to come after him since he's a huge monster.

He knew that dragons are expensive and their scales are worth millions of gold. (Intel from fantasy games) so he wouldn't risk doing such a thing.

He wants to rest already since he hadn't gotten his sleep yet even before dying, or even in that white space, he hasn't slept a wink. Sure this dragon body was energetic and seemed to have slept for a long time, but for him, he wants some sleep time to recover his mental health.

And now he's got to worry about his grumbling stomach. what could be worse?

'Ah I wanna hurry and sleep' He complained, but there wasn't someone to listen to his rambling.

moments later, he heard tiny footsteps coming closer. The Dragon was suddenly on full alert. Maybe this time, he'll finally be able to eat proper food.

Squishy sounds entered his ears and cute 'kyu kyu' too. He was sure of what kind of monster that sounds like it.

His eyes narrowed down with disappointment painted in his golden orbs as soon as the creature entered his field of view.

"Kyu~Kyu~"

It was a slime.

The dragon quickly reorganized his thoughts who were shut in rambles as of now. His stomach was getting hungry with each passing second and he expected some food to voluntarily come to him but who knows.

The fantasy world's basic monster would come instead.

'I know a story similar to this...'

"BUT THIS STORY IS NOT ABOUT THAT OKAY?!" He slipped.

He spoke a 'little' but louder this time now the earthquakes have gotten worse. but thank the land since it didn't crackdown.

As far as he has observed in the surrounding area. It seems not a place for slime to walk in.

Then a thought crosses his mind, 'Why is a cliche monster such as a 'slime' here?'

The monster looks stupid since all it could do is make a cute kyu kyu sounds and the squishy sounds it makes whenever it walks.

'I suddenly thought of a pudding'

His stomach grumbled once more.

He swallowed and tries to speak without making the ground shake, "L-little one" The slime puts its gaze at him and vice versa.

Thank goodness, the slime didn't run away from his voice. It was so deep and intimidating. now to continue his words he spoke once more,

"Do you have some food with you?"

The slime titled its body as if it understood him, it starts jumping in some sort of joy but the dragon didn't realize it. Then making a kyu kyu sounds it jumps up and down as if saying it wants the dragon to follow him.

The dragon slowly moves its huge foot making a deep and large footstep.

"So little one, where are we going?" He asks

"Kyu! kyu!" The sounds the slime emitted from its cute response was happiness mixed with excitement as well.

"I see"

The dragon followed the slime deeper in the forest mountains, it took them a while to reach it but midways the dragon carried the slime on its head while the little slime points the direction of where they'll be going.

When they arrived at the top, there laid a huge double horned bear that just died not long ago.

He gulps down his saliva down his throat.
