The other world

"You and I are from the "DDD World"."

""DDD Word"? What is that?"

"It's the world of Divinities, Dragons and Devils."

"I see but why am I not so surprised? Is that because I've seen so much supernatural things?"

"No, I think it's because you already know it!"

"And how would I know if?"

"I don't know but I'm sure it's related to your nightmares."

"How would you know about that?"

"When you were unconscious, I came to visit you along with Kevin and I took the opportunity to read your mind and I saw a bit of your nightmares. I couldn't see well because you didn't want to remember it yourself but I saw the "DDD World"."

"I want to know the truth!"

"Ok then, we must get out of here!"

"Why?"

"Because you made your eye reappear and It will be painful if you make it vanish again."

"How do you know so much about dragons? Are you a dragon?"

"I will explain later, now come with me."

"Ok I get it."

Then, Emma used her magic and created a plate circle on the air.

"This is a magic circle. It can be used as a gate between this world and the DDD World. Follow me!"

"Ok, I'm following you!"

She entered the magic circle and disappeared, so I entered as well.

When I touched the magic circle, I was transported to another place. No! It wasn't just another place but another world. The DDD World!

The plants were so huge! The sky was red! And there were two Suns! Yeah two suns! A red one and a blue one! Their lights were lower than the single sun of my world so I was able to see them with no vision problem. It was just like I was looking at a bulb.

But something looked strange! It's like I have seen this before but how?

"Does it look familiar to you?"

"How would you know?"

"It's because I have seen some of this landscape in your nightmares."

"I want you to tell me everything that I have to know but first, I wanna know what kind of being are you?"

"I'm from the "Hero Clan", the first clan that has supported your father and worked under his commands. My full name is Emma Swordsman. The power you saw me using is called psychical magic. I can use it to read others' minds but it's very difficult if the target doesn't allow me to do so. I can also use my power to stimulate my enemy's neurons and make him feel unbelievable pain."

"Now tell me everything you know about me!"

"Let's go, there is somebody I want you to meet first!"

"I'm confused I need to understand the situation!"

"I can't explain everything to you but the person you're gonna meet will clarify every detail."

"I see. So let's get going."

I didn't trust her so much because I had understood that she was only my friend because of the mission she had but I had no choice other than following her.

She drove me to a huge village. It had the appearance of a village but it looked like it was much bigger than a hole city. When we entered it, I saw so many people staring at me. Some were admiring me and others were afraid of me.

In the middle of the village there was a huge sanctuary.

"Here it is. This is the sanctuary your father built."

"Is he there?"

"The answers you're looking for are inside this sanctuary."

At her words, I just ran and got in the sanctuary without any hesitation.

When I entered that place, I saw an old man sitting on a chair. I didn't need to be very smart to understand that the old man was suffering.

"This feeling... this aura... this presence... is it you? True Dragon King?"

"My name is Simon Smith. I'm looking for information. They told me I would know the truth here."

"Are you... the True Dragon King's son?"

"They told me so but I'm not convinced."

"Is that the case? Then I need to help you! My name is Kai Swordsman. I was waiting for your arrival for 20 years!"

"What do you mean?"

Out of nowhere, he pointed his finger on me and lightening emerged. The lightening touched my forehead and-

Where? Where am I? It's all dark!!

"So this is the memory of the True Dragon King? I've finally done it!"

What's this? Can you explain?

"When you were born, the king gave you a part of his memory before vanishing."

Where is he now?

"See it with your own eyes."

Suddenly, the field appeared. It was in the DDD World, I'm certain!

This point of view, I was seeing through someone's eyes but who?

"This is your father's memory so we're watching this scene from his point of view!"

Who? Who is that? A masked man? He looks young! His eyes... they're shining red, just like mine! But he has white hair!

"It's been a long time, Father!"

Father? Does that mean he's my biological brother?

[Arthur! How can you call "Father" the one you want to kill?]

"Unfortunately, you're my biological father but I have to kill you if I want to become the True Dragon King!!"

Arthur's definitely my brother!!

[You're a crazy monster that wants to conquere this world.]

"Didn't you do the same thing? You conquered it in the shadows. The current peace you created is just an illusion based on the fear of the Five Factions Emperors. When you'll disappear, war will come back!"

[Maybe, the Five Factions Emperors are just fearful towards my powers but what is more important is that the people of the Five Factions are living together in peace. They don't know about me and they interact with each other. If I would disappear, I think that war won't comeback easily!]

"But it'll comeback someday!"

[I wanted you to take over from me when I wouldn't be able to maintain peace! But now I've changed my plans! Someone else will take over from me!]

"Who? Do I know that person?"

[Even if you do, I won't let you know!!]

"ENOUGH TALK!! IT'S TIME TO FIGHT! HERE I GO!!! HAAAAAAAAA!!!"

[I WON'T LOOSE TO YOU!!! HAAAAAA!!!]

This battle is unbelievable! The clash between them is a clash of Demons!

"Shining Death Dragon! Supreme Dragon Form!"

[True Royal Dragon! Perfect Dragon Form!]

Both of them transformed into their respective Dragon Forms.

The one my father had had the shape of a golden humanoid reptile but had big red wings and golden scales so thick that it looked like an armor.

My brother's Dragon Form was as huge as are the dragons I heard in the myths in my world! It was a giant shining dragon with giant blue wings and thicker scales. It had a huge jaw with long freaking fangs, long edged claws and a thick long tail!

[Pretty impressive, you're able to control the Supreme Dragon Form. But do you realize you can't beat me? I'm the True Dragon King! There is no dragon with greater power than mine!]

"HEH... IS THAT SOOOO? HAHAHAHA!! I WON'T WIN AGAINST YOU IN A POWER BATTLE, I ALREADY KNOW I HAVE NO CHANCE!!"

[So why are you fighting me? Are you so much desperate?]

"I'M NOT AS STRONG AS YOU BUT MY HEREDITARY ABILITY CAN TAKE DOWN EVEN GODS!!"

At that moment the fight resumed but it became so violent that it would be rather called a clash of Gods.

Suddenly, they exchanged blows that hurted each one of them and both were bleeding.

[Even your healing ability can't help you, my armor makes your all your power vanish! It's a matter of time before you lose this duel!!]

"HAHAHAHAHA!!! THIS FIGHT IS ALREADY OVER!!! I WON!!!"

[What is going on!? I feel like... like-]

"LIKE YOUR LIFETIME WAS BEING EATEN? HAHAHAHA!!"

[Your scar is being healed!? How!?]

"I HAVE THE ABILITY OF TRANSFORMING MY ENEMY'S LIFETIME INTO DRAGON MAGIC AND USE IT AGAINST HIM!! I WON!!"

[I can still win if I kill before you eat my remaining lifetime!!]

"I DON'T THINK YOU CAN BECAUSE WITHOUT EATING YOUR LIFETIME I WAS ABLE TO STAND UP TO YOU!! AND NOW THAT YOU'RE DYING, IT WILL BE EASIER FOR ME TO WIN THIS BATTLE!!]

Is that my brother's hereditary ability? Is he that strong? What kind of power is this?

While my father was trying to vanish the power of my brother, Arthur was eating Father's lifetime to generate more power.

Slowly, Arthur took the advantage while Father was beaten up.

"THIS IS THE FINAL ATTACK!!"

At that instant, a flow of energy was extracted form Father's body to Arthur's jaw. Then, that energy was transformed into destructive power. So that energy was Father's lifetime!? After that,  the dragon spit that destructive power while targeting Father.

That huge amount of power destroyed his armor and made him fall on the ground.

"I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD LOSE TO ME BEFORE DYING!!"

Out of nowhere, dark flames covered Father's body and then he was teleported to somewhere else but where?
