A dormant gene, (previously thought to be a myth) has been activated, granting a random 10% of the population telepathy. You are not part of the 10%, but you have secrets to keep, so you can't afford

Ever since this stupid world awakened their genes to read minds, it's been harder and harder to hide the truth from people. The world was already in shambles and barely formed back into a working society. How will they react when they realize a dragon from a completely different plane of existence is walking amongst them? I always used my human form though, and as long as I keep my thoughts on human-related things, I should be fine. My thoughts kept trailing aimlessly. Then again, I smiled to myself. When in doubt, I can just merge worlds and let more chaos in. As long as my secret is hidden, I don't care that much.

Fixing my hair into a ponytail, I sighed heavily before wearing a crop top with shorts. Love showed off my muscular physique, then I prepared my preferred breakfast. Pancakes with mayonnaise, it was so delicious! I never understood why no one tried this combo out, it was one of the best flavors in the world. After putting up the dishes, I walked outside and began my trek to the city. Living in the forest has its perks and disadvantages, one of the perks is being able to do your rituals in peace and the disadvantage is walking to the city for trips. There are a couple of reasons for going to the city today and one reason is to get supplies for rituals. Good thing they actually believe in the powers of crystals and powers beyond their mortal understanding.

This store had one of the best ingredients for a while. Walking inside, I picked up my routine. Some crystals and salamander feet. Anything else that came to mind, I picked up holding a large bag of supplies. Subconsciously making my way to the counter, my thoughts was on a new ritual. A spell to leech some of the other plane life force. Snapping their fingers, someone grabbed my attention.

"Yeah, screw you too! Asshole." She shouted back. There was something wrong, though. What ritual? What other world? This damn gene is a curse and she will figure out who the spell is for. Spells can't exist, right?

I bowed my head in apology, reaching into my pocket and placing down a hundred-dollar bill."You can keep the rest, I don't care." Grabbing the bag and walking out of the store.

"Yeah, screw you too! Asshole." She shouted back. There was something wrong, though. What ritual? What other world? This damn gene is a curse and she will figure out who the spell is for. Spells can't exist right?
