C1: Rebirth

'What… did I survive that?' He asked himself inwardly, staring at the darkness in front of him. 'Or maybe… This is the Afterlife? Is it just darkness after your death?'

'What the –'

A text in golden words floated in the dark space before him. It felt like the opening sequence of the VR games on Earth, but why was it here? Percy had no clue what was happening.

'Wait, isn't this the exact same logging screen as Arion Online? And why am I a dragon species? That's not playable…' before he could think further, his eyes began to flutter open.

His blurry vision became clear and the darkness before him faded away.

Lightning flashed upon the tall windows and the baby opened its eyes.

"My little Xar… finally, you came to us."

A gorgeous woman with long black hair was gazing into Percy's eyes. She had a flock of hair covering her left eye, and her right eye was crimson red. Surprisingly, Percy had a vague memory of who this woman was.

'Wait… is that the Dragon Queen?' Percy thought.

The baby furrowed its eyebrows and his eyes slowly scanned the room, trying to comprehend the situation he was in.

Right beside the gorgeous lady and himself, there was another lineup of beautiful ladies standing near the bed.

One woman with white hair that was long enough to reach her feet and dressed in silver armor. And a smaller cute looking child with the same white hair as the tall woman standing beside the tall woman, hugging her legs.

Then, there were two short-haired teenage girls dressed in brown leather clothes, a taller young woman dressed in a long beautiful black dress, and another who was slightly shorter, standing beside the tall beauty. All of these four had the same black hair and crimson eyes as the lady before him.

And… All of these ladies shared one thing in common.

They all had dragon wings.

"Everyone, our Royal Bloodline is finally safe. Our prince and the savior of dragons is finally born, the Last Dragon King, Xar the First."

The hot lady in front of Percy announced to the dragon ladies.

'Savior of dragons…? The Last Dragon King?' Percy asked himself inwardly as the memories of his past life flowed back to him.

'Wait wait wait – hold up! Did my wish come true? Were my calls answered?'

'Am I reborn as the Last Dragon King in the game of Arion…? The last male Dragon in the royal dragon family? The one who shall save all dragons? God, yes. YESSSSS! IN YOUR FACE MOTHERFUCKER! I have attained REINCARNATION!'

The baby began to cry, wiggling its arms.

"Aw. Look how strong the little one is," the sexy-looking mother said, gazing at the baby.

"Mother! He's just as cute as you."

"Sister, give me the baby now! I wanna see our little king."

"Oh dear, what a cutie he is!"

Only 10 minutes ago, I, Percy Flinton, was on a ship in the middle of the ocean. A storm was brewing in the seas, so all of us on the ship had to scream as loud as we could just to hear each other.

I was the skinny one wearing a tracksuit with tied hands and the guy wearing a 10k-worth white coat was Jay Macmillan. The others on the ship were his buff bodyguards.

"God! Let me go, man! It's just a game! I'm sorry – I didn't do it on purpose!" I cried out.

"You fucking bastard! You killed me on purpose!" The world's second-best player of Arion Online cried out from the back while holding a gun to me from behind.

"Dude, it was a last man standing match! That was the point of the game!"

"We had a deal!"

The rain beat down on the ship rapidly as it began to sway from side to side. Our clothes were soaked and the floor was getting slippery. My hands were tied. There was no way I could even grab onto something so I could stand still.

I slipped down as the next wave crashed on the ship and hit my head on the floor.

"Jay –" Salty water splashed across my face, making me cough. This was the worst torture I've experienced in my life.

"Stop! Don't do this!"

"I'm sorry… but if you play more from that account, I could never become the world's best player," Jay replied, gritting his teeth. "You should've quitted when that match began… boys! Dip him!"

"NOOO!" I screamed.

The buff-looking bodyguards wearing expensive coats lifted me and got ready to swing me off the ship.

"NOO! If I was going to die, at least hit me with a truck! At least I can reincarnate into a life where I'd be handsome and not single! TRUCK-KUN! HELP ME!"

"Dude, shut up and die," one of the buff guys said, gazing at my poor face with that chad look with their men-in-black sunglasses.

I gulped and closed my eyes.

CRACK! The skies cracked with lightning so loud that even the buff-looking guys got frightened, losing their grasp on me.

I fell to the floor again and rolled away.

Through that rain, I gazed at the sky with tears flowing down my eyes. And as if Heaven had answered my calls –

A light shone among the clouds.

The sound of a truck horn roared across the skies.

The headlights of Truck-kun shone upon me. Before I knew it, the truck fell right on top of me.

Truck-kun had blessed me.

I have attained… reincarnation.
