Chaos Gate & Dragon Palace

[Finally…] Arthur lifted his heavy eyelids and sighed in relief.

Powerless to defy his fatigue, Arthur fell into a coma, causing his body to drift in a random direction.

…

Three days later.

Arthur opened his mouth and yawned while stretching his arms and legs, making a snapping sound.

"That was a crazy nightmare..." Arthur mumbled as he opened his eyes.

Arthur looked at the small worlds in the distance with a gray face. "It was real…"

[Right, that bracelet!] Arthur searched around for it, but recalled that it entered his body somehow.

While Arthur was pondering about ways to return to his world, a message appeared inside his mind.

Arthur closed his eyes and immediately understood where the bracelet, or [Chaos Gate] went.

After reading all the information, Arthur opened his eyes with excitement and quickly pulled his shirt aside to show the right side of his chest where a small tattoo appeared. The tattoo was all black, of a round mirror like object.

"Hahaha! Beauties! Here I come!" Arthur burst into laughter.

The [Chaos Gate] is a natural born treasure between time and space where its main ability is allowing people to travel through the dimensional chaos to different worlds.

Other abilities include using it to travel through time and space, creating doorways between worlds, and many more that need discovered by Arthur.

After his initial excitement passed, Arthur felt his body and, to his shock, he found that his body changed. He didn't know where exactly but he can feel that his clothes were a little tight.

Putting the changes to his body aside, Arthur scanned his surroundings.

"This…" Arthur murmured in confusion.

Arthur didn't know when, but a silvery white palace floated in the distance, moving in his direction.

[This is bad…] Arthur frowned as his eyes flashed with uncertainty.

[People that could build a palace in the dimensional chaos are probably very strong…] Arthur turned around and tried to use his crappy swimming skills to escape but could only doggy paddle, which helped little.

"Your going to leave without greeting this King first?" A majestic voice echoed from the white palace.

Arthur grimaced as he felt a wave of pressure wash over his body, making him tremble, then disappeared.

This was obviously a naked threat, saying that even if you try to escape, Ill kill you before you get far.

"Dammit…" Arthur cursed under his breath, but still felt that he could escape if something goes wrong. He subconsciously used his hand to rub his chest and felt a slight burning sensation from the [Chaos Gate] responding to his thoughts.

[If I make it out alive, the first thing I'm going to do is learn how to swim!] Arthur sighed in relief, looking like he accepted his destiny. He turned around and steadily drifted towards the white palace.

Softly landing on the platform in front of the massive door leading inside, Arthur suddenly noticed that he was taller than before, making it hard to move with his tight clothes.

[I guess the nickname shorty won't work for me anymore…] Arthur chuckled in thought as he went inside, reflecting about his days at the orphanage.

Once inside, Arthur looked around in surprise. Almost everything was made of gold! From the floor to the door, everything is made of gold!

Although slightly tacky for Arthur's taste, he couldn't help but smack his lips, thinking about all the gold used to make this place.

While appreciating the décor, Arthur finally made his way to the inner room.

"Dragon!" Arthur blinked rapidly, looking at a massive white dragon sleeping on a pile of gold coins surrounded by treasures that could make anyone jealous.

The white dragon looked like the typical western dragon, with four sturdy legs, massive wings, and a long tail.

"What's wrong, human?" The white dragon moved its head and looked at Arthur with its light-blue eyes similar to Arthurs. "Have you never seen a dragon before?"

Arthur shook his head in disbelief while secretly urging the [Chaos Gate] to be ready to escape at anytime.

"I guess that makes sense." The dragon spoke with deep contempt. "How can a weak human such as you possibly see a dragon and continue to live?"

Arthur laughed and shook his head. "Maybe you're right. Right now I am very weak, but I think you forgot something."

"What is that, human?" The white dragon looked at Arthur with interest.

"Potential!" Arthur clenched his fist with determined eyes. "Everyone has potential to do big things if they work hard!" Arthur stared directly into the dragon's eye with determination. "As long I work hard enough, I might one day surpass you!"

"HAHAHA!" The dragon raised its head and roared with laughter, strong enough to shake the palace.

[What's wrong with this dragon? Although I know it's kinda cringe to say something like this, I truly believe that one day I I might surpass him.] Arthur's body cramped up, trying to stay on his feet, always prepared to escape.

After laughing for a couple of minutes, the dragon gradually shrank and soon changed into an elegant man with long white hair wearing a golden robe.

The white-haired man walked up the stairs and sat on the golden throne.

"What is your name, human?" The white-haired man looked down at Arthur with interest.

"Arthur." Although slightly confused, Arthur answered his question.

"Arthur… Arthur… Arthur…" The white-haired man savored the name while nodding, then looked at Arthur seriously. "I like you, Arthur. How about making a deal with me?"

"Transaction?" Arthur looked at the white-haired man with even more confusion. "What deal?"

"Ill use my blood to transform you into a noble dragon and give you my palace along with everything inside." The white-haired man waved his arm and nine drops of blood appeared, floating in the void above Arthur's head.

Greed flashed through Arthur's eyes for a second before calming it down and asked the white-haired man with vigilance. "What do you want?"

Arthur thought about it for a second and felt that the only precious thing on him was the [Chaos Gate]. But he shouldn't know that he has something like that, since it hides in his soul.

"Revenge!" The white-haired man grit his teeth as immense hatred radiated from him, causing wind to surge throughout the throne room until he finally calmed down.

"Revenge?" Arthur looked at the white-haired man in confusion.

"I know what you're thinking." The white-haired man shook his head and explained. "Although you are weak, like you said, you have great potential!"

"I also feel that you have an amazing treasure hidden on you." The white-haired man looked at Arthur with interest, seeing Arthur's surprised and worried look as he shook his head. "You don't have to be worried. I'm already dead, what's the point in collecting something now?"

"Dead?" Arthur looked at the living person in front of him in disbelief. [How can he be dead when I'm talking to him right now?]

"Yeah…" The white-haired man shook his head and waved his arm to show that he was transparent. "When fighting with 'The Kingdom of Maxus' I suffered a deadly blow before being able to escape." He looked at the blood floating in the void with destress. "After returning, I separated part of my soul from my body and used a secret technique to refine my body into dragon ancestor level origin blood." He shook his head. "After waiting nearly a thousand years, I finally see a chance to get my revenge."
