Memories of a Thousand Years Ago

Lucia immediately ran around in a panic while trying to find her brother. While peeking at Lucia, Evan still tried not to make a sound.

'What is that Dragon Princess doing? Is her brother hiding in the urn? Impossible!' After seeing Lucia searching in narrow places, Evan was sure that her brother was not a human form like Lucia.

'Or maybe...' Evan glanced at the place where he had breakfast.

'What did I just do! Even though I was determined not to take Lucia's life, but instead I ate her brother!'

Evan truly regretted taking action without knowing who the snake was. However, he immediately beat the snake that just came back from the toilet like a thug due to his hunger impact.

Evan's guilt grew stronger when Lucia's cries began to echo in the room. It really reminded him of his spoiled little sister.

'Would Liliana do the same thing as Lucia, if I died? ...I shouldn't have thought too much into it, now I have to focus on getting stronger, so that I can keep my promise with mother and Liliana.'

Evan clenched his paws and determined to become more vital to make the deaths of those who had hurt him grievously.

Lucia continued to cry bitterly on the throne, but on the other hand, her screams really hurt Evan's ears.

'I don't remember how loud a little girl's cry was? Is it because my hearing has become more sensitive like my nose or does that girl have dragon vocal cords?'

Evan groped his head, looking for ears that were not in their place. Luckily his paws were long enough to plug his ears which were near the horns.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to speak directly to Lucia. Whatever she would do to him, Evan had resigned himself to all of her anger.

He felt a sense of worry that he would be killed by Lucia in one fell swoop. The tiny dragon slowly walked from behind the pillar.

'Erm... Miss! Can you stop your crying? My eardrums are about to explode, if you keep at it.'

Evan's eyes met those of the sister of the serpent who had helped him avoid starving to death. Without knowing whether he had used the same language as his fellow dragon race, he immediately expressed his problem with her loud cry.

'Blood red...' That was the word that crossed Evan's mind when he saw Lucia's eyes directly. But then, he felt the Dark Blue aura around Lucia suddenly attack him like a tidal wave that instantly drowned him.

Lucia slowly stopped her crying. Her desperate expression turned into a cheerful one when she saw the dark-purple dragon. The little dragon appeared suddenly from behind the pillar, which had been forgotten from her inspection.

'Suffocating...! Is this the impact that occurs due to the difference in my strength with her? Her aura is truly terrifying!'

Fortunately, the horrible sensation didn't last long until the girl ran towards him. But, after that, he couldn't move his body at all. Instead, his body felt tightly gripped.

"Brother!!"

After trying to escape the debuff, he could only turn his body to dodge Lucia's attack. But too late, she immediately caught him in a bear hug.

"Gahk!!"

"...Brother! I thought you left me." Lucia hugged the little dragon excitedly, like a girl who had just received a new doll gift. Even she rubbed her face on his fur.

'Miss! If you keep at it, don't blame me if your dress gets dirty.' He tried to hold back the turmoil in his distended stomach, which was being pressed so hard by Lucia.

"Ah! I'm sorry, brother. I was too happy to see you still here." Lucia let go of her bear hug and placed the little dragon in front of her. Without his tail, Evan was only as tall as Lucia's mid-tight length.

'Wait a minute! Before you call myself brother again. Can you explain what you mean by calling me that? Even though we just met.'

"That's because we are both Dragon race."

'Only that? Even though we are both Dragon race, but we are not related by blood at all.'

Evan was relieved that Lucia hadn't mentioned the python he ate, and now he was in trouble with a girl claiming to be an impromptu little sister. He felt that this misunderstanding would lead to problems if it was not rectified immediately.

"Ehhh... Did you reincarnate without having any memories of 1000 years ago? If you don't want to be called brother, then what should I call you?"

'Since I have a name, just call me Evan.'

"...E..van... An easy name to remember. Well I'll use that name to address you. My name is Lucia, my subordinates often call me the Darkness Princess. You can also call me by my name."

Him's Appraiser's accuracy was absolutely accurate. The things Lucia said were the same as he remembered in his Appraiser's display. But that's not the problem in his thought.

'Memories of 1000 years ago? What do you mean I lived 1000 years ago?' Evan was surprised by Lucia's statement. What role exactly, and who was he playing now?

"Even though you have lost your memory, but the color of your eyes is not matched by any being. The Golden Eyes belong to the True Dragon King who rules over a third of the Land and the lord of darkness."

Just hearing Lucia's story, he was sure that his eyes belonged to the True Dragon King. But, remembering that the Nuclear Dragon was also surprised when it saw his golden eyes.

'I'm sorry Lucia, but your expectations of me are too high. I'm not a reincarnated True Dragon King at all, I'm just a talentless human who accidentally turned into a dragon.'

But Evan's words were not taken seriously by Lucia. She even thought that he had lost his memory because it had been 1000 years.

"It doesn't matter who you are, because that physical trait is only you. I believe that you are the reincarnation of the True Dragon King. It's time for you to reclaim the territory that you ruled over 1000 years ago." Lucia said that with a severe expression.

*Ding*

'Damn System! Why are you talking just to make things difficult for me. If you were in front of me I would have ripped your body apart!' Evan was really annoyed with the system playing him again.

"Uh-huuh... Why are you yelling at me so hard? Do you hate me?"

Lucia's expression became sad and wept. He did not know what happened to her. Still, after he vented his frustration on the system within his inner, Lucia burst into tears.

'Eh... Did you hear my inner voice?' That's the only thing that was most likely to happen.

"Huhu! What are you saying, weren't you talking telepathically from the start?"

'HAH!'
