Is It Wrong to Chat in the Dungeon

This is a story is about a boy who only wanted to find a place to belong. Something he was unable to find in his first life. Maybe in his next life he will be able to find what he’s looking for. In his second life he finds himself with dreams of being a hero... despite some... character issues. A tale of adventure, hardship, friendship and some hijinks. This is my first fanfic attempt, give me some feedback if you can! P.S. AU world cause it’s boring to tell the same story lol __________________________________________ Characters from other works don’t belong to me, this is a for fun thing, make sure to support the official stuff!

The Sky is Falling!

As I'm busy getting my dance on, I was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. "Ahem..... AHEM!..... AHHEHEMMM!!"

"Sheesh, can't you see I'm in the middle of something?" You don't see me going into your house and interrupting you when you're in your feels. I mean do you mind? Hold up, whose house is this?

I finally take a moment to look around to see my surroundings. I'm in a dark candlelit room full of sus vibes. The satanic pentagram drawn with blood on the alter I'm currently on raises some alarms. Not the mention the group of people writing dark robes and skull necklaces. This isn't how it not summon a demon lord. Last time I checked I'm not a demon or a lord, wait am I? Don't really know who or what I am.

Meanwhile, in the background:

Devil Summoner 1, "Did it work? Is this child supposed to be the demon we summoned?"

Devil Summoner 2, "He certainly doesn't look like a demon"

Devil Summoner 3, "What are we supposed to do? A lot went into trying to summon a kid. Al the demon lord said was to provide a dragon egg for his descent. In turn he would grant out wish."

Hm, this is a predicament. These people have seemed to have tried to call some sort of demon lord. I don't feel particularly evil or demon-like. So, I'm definitely not the demon they tried to summon. That leaves just one possibility....

I'm a fire breathing dwagon!!!

There's only one thing left to do, try to breathe fire! Who cares about this weird situation I'm in, this about a dream romance.... So, how am I supposed to do this?

I inhale as much as I can, and then try breathing fire.... nope just hot breath. Maybe it's an age thing, *gasp* what if I'm not actually a dragon!? No, don't freak out me, positive thoughts, puppies and kittens.

Summoner 1 (My name is Jeff), "E-excuse me little lord, but my name is ~*Jeff*~ and we've done as you asked, can you please fulfill our wish?"

Extras, "Please Little Lord!"

"Okay I'm going to have to ask you to stop calling me 'little lord', I have a name and it's... ummmm... Gil! That sounds right I think. Anyways, I'm sorry to say I'm no demon lord summoned from another world. I'm a fire breathing mother strutting dwagon!"

"....All this work, our village is now doomed." The already awful atmosphere turns more gloomy. The Summoners are all on the floor defeated in despair. Their voices broken in sobs lamenting their fate, "....I'm so sorry everyone we won't be able to avenge the other villagers... Forgive me Anais!"

When I heard that name something deep within me resonated with sorrow at the sound of that name. I may not know much, or really anything, about myself. But, what I do know is that I want to help these villagers. I'm sure they're not as bad as they are dressed.

"Ahem, I know things may seem like it's over because it's not as you pictured things will go. But fear not for I am here! I may be 20ish minutes old but put your faith in me. Tell me what you need help with!." I give a charming smile full of charisma +20.

'Jeff' rises to meet my gaze and got caught up in my charisma roll. "Maybe you're right, you did come out of the dragon egg, even though you look like a little boy... you must be.... *wait for it* Dragonborn. Meaning a human who was born from a Dragon. During the era before the dungeon, when dragons still roamed the lands. Legends of children between humans and dragons were told. That dragon egg we took from that old ruin must've been a Dragonborn egg. Young Dragon, please help us during our time of need!"

I can feel it, the hope they place in me, it gives me strength on courage. I think this is what I was brought into this world for. But, for a split moment I could feel a minuscule part of me get eaten away. More important things are happening so I'll put it to the back of my mind. "Tell me what happened to you and your village, and can we get out of this nasty room?"

And Then.....

"So you're telling me that those skulls were actually goblin skulls and the blood was actually the last of your livestock?"

The Chief responds sheepishly, "It might not have been the best decision but we were blinded by a voice claiming to be a demon with promises of power."

After we moved out of Chief ~*Jeff*~'s basement and into the living room area I got the gist of their problems. While also giving me some villager clothes to wear, consisting of a white tunic, baggy black pants, and some basic black shoes. What? I'm an impressionable young dragon boy, can't go building bad habits. Where was I? Oh yea, so apparently their village was attacked by goblins and some of their people have been taken along with their food reserves. The reason they tried to summon a demon is that the 'adventurer' city is too far away to get help in time. Side note, adventurers are individuals blessed by LITERAL gods and goddesses. Thus being able to fight monsters and the like, accumulating strength to levels far beyond normally possible. And even though goblins are low level monsters they are still stronger than the strongest villager. Another thing to note that there are different types of monsters, those from the wild and those from the dungeon in the adventurer city. The main difference is that wild monsters don't have a magic stone core and having a physical body instead of one made of mana/falna.

"Young hero, your quest should you choose to accept it, is to head to the goblin camp and rescue any villagers and defeat the heinous goblins. Please help our village in our time of need!"

'Hero'? This village Chief sure knows how to stroke someone's ego. In a tone that oozes pride, "of course this awesome dragon will answer this village's cry for help!" Afterwards I run out of the Chief's home and head straight to the goblin encampment. Mostly in excitement of being a hero and embarrassment for that cringe exchange, ugh.

Speaking of this goblin encampment, how am I supposed to fight them? I stop dead in my tracks in the forest and attempt to punch a tree. *Bam*

The silence of the forest enhances the sound of the leaves falling from the shaking tree. I pull my fist back only to immediately start blowing at it. With tears in my eyes I shout to myself, "Owowowow! That hurt!" Turns out I'm not much stronger than a villager. I also don't have a weapon....

Afterwards something falls from the sky *BONK* and hits my head. First my hand and now my head, not feeling very hero-like. Looking around to find what hit my head, only to find a short sword that matches my height perfectly, weird. But you know the saying; when life gives you sword, then accept it like you're getting it for the first time and fight the battles like you're using it for the last time.

I unsheathe it and see a pristine blade that shows my reflection perfectly. This is the first time I've seen myself since being born. I have blonde hair and healthy tanned skin. You'd think I was a normal fleshy human boy if not for my deep and vibrant red eyes with an inhuman slit. Looks like I'll grow to look like a handsome prick that shoots projectile weapons.

A/N: MC (Actual Age: 1 day old/ Visual Age: 7 years old)

Alright now that the sky is done falling.... No? Nothing? It's now time to make like a bandit, uhh I mean hero, and save some villagers. Watch out world, I may be a bit fleshy but prepare to feel the might of a young dragon!

A word from Author-kun//

Alright, that was a pretty eventful chapter things are moving and gears are beginning to turn. Even though the beginning was a bit slow, this is ultimately a chat group isekai. So leave some members in the chat group that you want to see in the comments!

Also here is the power scaling I'm working with for this world: (I-S/0-999, SSS1500)

Combat Power(CP): An individuals total battle power, which is the sum of their basic stats. From lvl 0 to lvl 9 (max), there is rumored to be a level 10 but nothing is known about it as no one has reached it.

Basic Stats//

Strength(STR), Endurance(END), Dexterity(DEX), Agility (AGI), and Magic (MAG)

0-999. 0-99 is I, 100-199 is H, 200-299 is G, 300-399 is F, 400-499 is E, 500-599 is D, 600-699 is C, 700-799 is B, 800-899 is A, and 900-999 is S. Secret Realm//1000-1249 is SS, and 1250-1500 is SSS

SS and SSS, is an achievable in basic stats by select few with special skills, blessings, and bloodlines. Also there is no inherently stronger race in the power scaling, all individuals are within the same power scale, based on their basic stats (ignoring magic). Although some races do begin with more stats into specific stats, or their growth in specific stats are faster than other races.

Normal people// are level 0, they can also gain stats through training and honing skills, which is capped at 600-699C. Although no one has been able to reach that level since the end of the age of mortals. Typically they are stuck at 0-99I. C rank level 0s were the starting of legends among normal people and make up a lot of ancient stories before gods bestowed falna to mortals.

Adventurers// are bestowed falna by a god/goddess and therefor promoted to level one. During the first promotion 50% of level zero basic stats are added to level one basic stats. From level two and so forth, you strengthen your vessel so you can accumulate more basic stats.

History:

Age of Monsters// When the world was first made by Gods of creation, and all that inhabited the land were monsters varying from simple goblins to legendary monsters.

Age of Mortals// Gods left the lower world with the last of their creations, the mortals, and went into eternal slumber. It was at this point that most monsters were sealed away. It was during this age that mortal heroes were born and their tales were continued to be told. Some of the stronger monsters that weren't sealed were also in slumber at this time.

Age of The Dungeon// A God descended from the Upper World and created the dungeon so that the monsters sealed away wouldn't break out and start the apocalypse of the Lower World. It was during this age that other Gods descended and started bestowing mortals falna to grow stronger in the dungeon. In hopes that one day they'd clear the dungeon or fulfill their own desires. This is the start of Familias and 'Adventurers'.
