[Chapter 14] The New Me

Sylvic enters the house and turns to go into the living room just to see his other four children and his wife sound asleep in the chairs. 'The kids must of joined her after she started worrying like a mad person.' Sylvic gently shakes her shoulder and she unwillingly wakes up from her slumber until she sees her husband. She bolts up right and hugs him tightly, "You had me worried sick about you two." She asks, looking around with the eyes of a worried mother looking for her kid. "Speaking of, where's Kurayami?"

"You should wake the kids up and prepare yourselves because...he has changed a...bit." "Oh my god, is he ok?!" She says, waking up Aeron, Estel, and Elva with her voice. The trio looks a little dazed but when they see their father, they rocket upward,run over, and hug him. Sylvic nods as he hugs them back. "Yes, he is fine. He is just a bit...different." Anna looks towards the trio, "Will one of you wake up your little sister? She was crying her eyes out, worried sick about Kurayami. He has only been here for two weeks yet she missed him so badly."

Estel walks over to Elanor and gently wakes her up, saying, "Kurayami is back." Which in response, she wakes up almost immediately, slightly drowsy but quicker than she usually would of. Sylvic then looks towards the door and yells, "They're ready, come in!"

I walk in with my chiseled six pack, dragon wings, tail, horns, and scales that cover 30% of my body. They stand there, wide eyed. 'If they weren't awake then, they were now.' Elanor walks up to me and hugs me. "I missed you," she says as she burrows her head in my chest. I hug her back, her hair in a mess. Her eyes were puffy and pink from crying, which shows me how worried she was.

Knowing how odd I look and knowing the Shadow Dragon King's abilities, I try to transform back to a full human, and funny enough, I here a Ping!

"Transformation beginning....done!"

As I see the notification, I feel my tail, horns, and wings retract as they enter my skin and disappear from sight, my scales retract into my skin, leaving nothing to show they were there in the first place. The only remains of my dragon form is my reptilian eyes and sharp teeth as I smile. Everyone else, including dad now, is staring agape. I continue to smile. "I can also breath black fire and can see in the dark...."

They are all shocked beyond belief, except Elanor, who is looking at me and asks, "Do you want to play with me?" I look down at her and just wave over my body, "I need to get redressed, I look like I just came from a fight." And she starts giggling. All of a sudden, my stomach rumbles so loud, it sounds like a creature is roaring.

I hold my stomach and realize, 'My sudden increase in growth definitely requires food, which I am lacking significantly.'

"I ran off from the building because this would happen and I am starving, I haven't had anything to eat since lunch yesterday." I say while I sheepishly scratch my head.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just woke up! I'll get to making breakfast." Says Anna as she starts running to the kitchen. "Thanks Mom." Yell to her, slightly nervous about how she would react. She just continued running right to the kitchen, and started cooking. I look at Elva as she smiles at me with her fake plastic smile. I walk up to her and hug her, smiling back with my new toothy grin. And then I run upstairs, and into my room.

'Dammit! I just can't win, can I?! He disappeared and then came back as a Dragonborn, why is life so unfair?!' "At least he's isn't a full dragon, then my spell duel idea would be doomed." Whispers Elva after saying a few unladylike words in her head.

I head upstairs and enter my room, throw on some clothes, and sit down on my bed. "Stats."
