7 Chapter 7: Dragon, Recollection and Waking up

Tatsuya opened his eyes and found himself in the astral plane lying on the... floor? Anyway, he was lying down in the astral plane in his astral form looking listless.

He looked around and suddenly remembered what happened. He hurriedly checked his own body but still found nothing that seems to cause that pain. He was in deep thought even using his parallel thinking trying to figure out what caused all this.

While he was in deep thought, a creature stands behind him, a small creature no more than 30 cm looking at him confused since he hadn't notice it yet. It flew up and circled his head hoping that he notice it. It continued to fly around him for a while until eventually it exhausted itself and rested on his head.

Only then did he notice something and touched his head only to find something resting there. He grabbed it and brought it in front of him.

What he saw was a reptilian creature with white scales with a tint of dark-red and four horns, two big horns stretching down his face and two small horns opposite of the former.

It was a dragon, a baby dragon, that he found and heck it was even sleeping. The dragon, feeling someone pick it up opened its eyes and looked at Tatsuya cutely while tilting its head before letting out a sound that seems to be a roar, though more on the cute side than the dominating side.

Putting the dragon down he tried to analyse it using his AR.

He can read up to there with his remaining magic power but still it shocked him and also the last part has him dumbfounded since he didn't know how the dragon get fond of him.

An idea came to mind and he checked if he still have the sacred dragonic power and sacred-demonic magic power in him. As he thought, the sacred dragonic power is completely gone from him while only a little bit of sacred-demonic magic power is left inside of him.

'How did this happen? Did that dragon that I fought retaliate inside of me using the dragonic energy? Is this also why I'm having that uncomfortable feeling earlier? If so then there is still a lot of things I've yet to know about this world.'

He thought while unconsciously patting the head of the dragon.

"Ah! You don't have a name yet, right? Hmm, what should I call you? Well, whatever I'll name you after I get back to my body." (Tatsuya)

"Kyuu~"

It roared cutely.

He tried to bring himself back to his physical body but instead felt his power draining at a rapid pace. He stopped and kneeled down panting.

"What just happened!? Why can't I go back!?" (Tatsuya)

"Kyuu~"

He questioned himself and the dragon looked at him worriedly like it felt his pain. He looked at the dragon and caress it to calm it down whilst calming his breathing as well. During this time a piece of paper appeared in front of him.

Due to the rapid consumption of sacred dragonic energy inside you, your body is currently unable to contain a soul, as you know normal humans can't handle dragonic energy and would explode immediately but as you are a High-Human your body just suffered some internal injuries and your soul being a reincarnated remained instead of getting damaged and with the use of your psychic abilities you were brought to the astral plane. I suggest you train yourself there for a moment and improve.

P.S. Don't ascend levels

A R.O.B interested in you

He read the letter carefully and understood the whole thing but there was one thing that intrigued him.

'What is this levels he's talking about?'

He thought and notice the letter shine after which a new line appeared in it. He looked at it in anticipation thinking that the R.O.B. gave him an explanation but...

P.S. You thought I was going to give you an explanation but no, I just want to tell you I'm gender less but prefer to call myself a 'she' don't forget.

He slumped in disappointment and the letter vanished into light particles.

'So it's a she, huh? Well, let's set that aside for now and train, though how am I going to do that, there is practically no enemies here. I'll just absorb some energy then.'

He sat down in a lotus pose and started absorbing mana, chakra, reiryoku, and that sacred-demonic magic power that was still lingering in the astral plane into his body. He kept on doing that not keeping an eye on the time and the dragon.

The baby dragon has already sat beside him and copied his pose also absorbing energy though what it was absorbing is mana and dragonic energy. The baby dragon was also absorbing a little bit of chakra though sadly it was only chakra that he was able to absorb.

Due to the dragon attracting dragonic energy, Tatsuya also absorbed a little bit by bit.

7 hours has passed but he was still absorbing energies of different kind and kept on increasing his reserve though with each passing time the rate of absorption decreases significantly, the only noticeable change is that they are now up in the air still in a lotus pose while continuing on ascending, they are not far from the border that separates the astral planes levels but at the rate they are ascending he was going to reach it soon.

After a few more hours, he stopped absorbing and started circulating each energy in every inch of his body making him feel the power they carry and giving him more endurance. His head was also a few inches away from the border but he didn't know that and after he was done he stood up. That's right, he stood up mid air, he is in astral from after all.

But that action lead to a disaster when his head passed the border. A small soul rushed towards him at light speed and integrated itself with him and he felt pain stronger than what he felt when he passed out.

The little soul continued to integrate itself with Tatsuya's astral form like they were one and was only separated.

Tons of information flooded in his brain while the little soul is still doing it's business and bringing more and more information to him as time passes. After several minutes which seemed like eternity, the little soul finally fully integrated itself with Tatsuya.

His head which was on the upper level of the astral plane ejected itself or more like it was rejected and he crash down to the supposed floor of the astral plane. The baby dragon has was with him panicked and flew towards him quickly and circled around his body looking at him worriedly.

A few seconds passed and he stood up panting and recalled the information no, memories that was sent to his brain by the little soul. It was the memory of Tatsuya Shiba, the Tatsuya Shiba that was originally occupying his body before he came. It not only contained memories about his life before Kyle came occupying his body, it also contained information about the situations of different factions around the world. The soul was absorbing information about the world while in the astral plane as it was without a physical body or other vessels to reside which caused it to gather both important and trivial information around the world.

The information was too much for his brain and he felt himself blacking out, his astral body forcefully returning to his physical body.

__ __ __ __ __ __

Back to his physical body, he opened his eyes and saw Miyuki sleeping beside him on a chair while holding his hand. He sat up and noticing his large movement, Miyuki woke up and looked at Tatsuya.

"I'm back, Miyuki." (Tatsuya)

He said like he was gone for so long.

Miyuki started to tear up but suppressed herself and smiled brightly at him.

"Welcome back, Onii-sama." (Miyuki)

They greeted each other like they haven't seen each other for years.
