Dragon Game: All My Dragons Are Ranked 'SSS'

Words hovered in the air above him

[Status Effect: Draconic Infection ]

• HP will decrease by -10 every 30 seconds until all Draconic Rats in the area are eliminated.

• Infection Source: Draconic Rat venom

• Condition: Effect cannot be cleansed until objective is complete.

• Warning: If HP reaches 0, player will be forcefully ejected from the Dragon Shop dimension.

Drahon quickly wriggled the Draconic rat off him. He wasn't with his sword or he would have slain the bastard.

He now stared at the words from the system in surprise.

The fuck was this?

HP decreases by ten every thirty seconds?

Well…., he was damned.

He decided to check his health points:

• HP: 160 / 170 [+40]

"Damn," he muttered.

He was going to be returned back to the tower very soon and even worse, he was going to be dead.

He stared at the words once more, seeing them slowly flicker like dust and then away.

The players whose eyes were now on the horde of Draconic rats stared at him in surprise.

"What damage did the bite cause?" Ayvira asked.

"My health points reduce by ten points every thirty seconds."

Devon stared at him, a look of more surprise on his face, while Ayvira stared at him, speechless and wide-eyed.

Devon summoned his scimitar-like sword and just then, two Draconic goblins leapt in the air towards him.

Devon was fast and he sliced their heads off with just two spontaneous hits.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

They fell to the ground.

The other Draconic monsters who were about to charge forward now hesitated, looking at their dead companions. They were studying, seeing how strong the players were.

[+10 HP gone]

Drahon looked at the spot where he had been bleeding. It wasn't like it was deep. Seems the system wasn't judging by the wound…

Wait!…

[Infection Source: Draconic Rat venom]

Damn, he had totally forgotten. The cause of his health points going down at such a rapid speed was because of that venom!

The Draconic rats charged at the players now, seemed they were done with studying…., or whatever it was they were doing back there.

Now, they had their eyes fixed on the players, their claws raised, ready to…

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Devon ducked an incoming attack, then he sidestepped, then back stepped simultaneously just to dodge a bite, and then he rolled on the floor, dodging another bite.

"Damn, these Draconic rats are crazy," he exclaimed after cutting one head off.

Ayvira said nothing, she only made exclamations of:

"Ahyaaah!"

"Ah ash!"

As she sliced their heads off.

Drahon wondered why the players were targeting the rat heads and so he summoned his sword too.

His Golden SSS rank sword.

[+10 HP gone]

The words flashed across his retina.

He had to help in fighting against these Draconic rats and he had to do so quickly, so as not to drain all his HP the more.

Draining of his health points would have side effects and at the moment, he sort of felt mad with himself for getting bitten in the first place.

Getting bitten was a thing, losing health points the way he was doing was another, and they were both tied together.

Getting bitten and losing HP, as getting bitten in the first place was why he was losing HP.

He wondered if there'd be a cure for the venom injected into him though, as he didn't want any crazy side effects.

Life was hard already inside the Dragon Game. He saw no need for it to be worsened.

[Condition: Effect cannot be cleansed until objective is complete]

Drahon remembered the words like they were right in front of him at the moment and the reason was because this was the source of his healing. Why wouldn't he remember it.

He gazed at the Draconic rats, seeing how they leapt at the players, only to get their heads chopped off by the players' swords.

To him, they were farming EXP. It was only right if he farmed his too.

Let's farm EXP…

After being bitten by one of the creatures he's about to farm EXP from.

Whilst losing HP by ten points every thirty seconds.

Well.., not the most pleasant motivation to fight and neither was it the most convenient.

But what could Drahon do.

This seemed revenge for him and all he wanted to do was:

Get head shots

And gain EXP!

He stormed at the Draconic rats, slicing off the head of one who came at him.

[Head shot! + 10 EXP GAINED]

He went to another and did the same move as he had done to the other to it.

[Head shot! + 10 EXP GAINED]

Drahon decided to try something. Since a headshot gained him +10 EXP, how many would a regular one give him?

He decided to try.

He sent his sword into the chest of a Draconic rat.

Twoosh!

It struck and Drahon stared at it in disgust mixed with viciousness. If one of these bastards could bite him, then they all deserved to die!

All Draconic Rats must die!

[Chest shot +5 EXP GAINED]

Drahon stared at the words more intently. No wonder Devon and Ayvira were targeting the head, so as to gain more EXP.

Drahon put that into notic…

[+10 HP gone]

Drahon stared at the words in surprise. The words were mandatory and so he should have expected it, but his reason for being surprised wasn't about the words. It was about him not having enough time.

He had lost…., he couldn't say…., over forty now.

Devon stared at him, as if surprised to see him.

"You are ok it seems."

He said as he sliced the head of a Draconic rat.

Fighting the creatures so far had been relatively simple. All they had to do was dodge their bites by sidestepping or backstepping or even front-stepping.

As far as they could dodge - back, front, back…., things went smoothly.

And the reason they hadn't been bitten again was because they now had knowledge that they were capable of being bitten and so they avoided that.

It wasn't like when they first came here, they were kind of naive then, but now, they were well equipped with information to be cautious.

The Draconic rats remaining were roughly over thirty now….

[+10 HP gone]

Drahon had to kill fast.
