DRAGONBORN SORCERER

"State your name, human." The godlike presence unleashed a massive shockwave as voice of the superior soul echoed through the void— almost eradicated Skyler's existence.

"I am Skyler." His soul was pushed back yet managed to get hold his ground, burning deep inside, he roared, "Who're you? Show yourself!"

After enduring torment and death, Skyler found himself inside the realm of eternal darkness— a void.

While he was thinking and screaming all by himself into the nothingness, another soul which just happened to linger in the same darkness, approached him. Unleashing its enormous aura, it told Skyler with an otherworldly voice.

"You've got guts for a mere human, Skyler. Yaa-haa-haa-haa." The laughter carried his oppressive aura, "I like it. Yes, I admire your audacity, Skyler. Oh! How rude of me. I haven't introduced myself yet. You may call me Azrathos. Now tell me, Skyler. How did you end up here? It's uncommon for a human soul to stray into the 'Geno-Abbeys'."

"Geno-Abbeys?" Skyler couldn't help but wonder, "Do you mean the darkness where we are, is called Geno-Abbeys? I had no idea."

"Indeed." Azrathos replied, "It's actually an eternal void, located within a different dimension from where one can never break free. You can also refer this to be a prison for casting only few individuals. A human soul wandering in this accursed hell— how peculiar."

Skyler heard him loud and clear. He thought of explaining his situation. But he hesitated for a moment.

'Can he be trusted?' he thought, 'Not like I have anything else to loose. After all, I'm already dead.'

So, he spoke. From moment he was born to the agonizing death he faced— how he faced countless betrayals, every shred of pain and humiliations. Surely it took a while. Azrathos listened him quietly. When he was almost done telling about the betrayals and his sufferings, Azrathos burst into tears, crying aloud.

"To think someone has endured this much, it's unforgivable." He sobbed, sneezing sympathetically, he said, "O you poor little soul. I cannot fathom the depth of your suffering. But I understand why the fury in your voice."

"I'm not angry." Skyler murmured, "If anything, I'm frustrated on my life. It's nothing but another betrayal at every turn. What did I ever do to deserve such cruelty, specially in this so-called new world? The way they reacted as if I'm nothing but a nuisance to them. They didn't even treated me as a human, and killed after taking what could be useful to…."

"Do you seek revenge?" Azrathos said, interrupting Skyler, "Tell me, Skyler. Do you want vengeance?"

Skyler fell silent. Until now, revenge really crossed his mind. Forgiveness had been his inborn characteristics, even if he endured countless betrayals.

Suddenly, a small fragment of memory crossed his mind. It was the terrified looks of Sylphy's comrades when they witnessed his moving corpse. It enthralled him— gave him a dark pleasure he never felt before.

'Even if it was just a dream after my death, that was so intoxicating, so exhilarating.' He thought, 'Wouldn't it be more fun to enjoy those impressions for real this time?'

"Yes." He growled, his voice wrapped in pure malice, "I want revenge. I want to make them go through the same hell I went through. I want to make them suffer the same agony I felt. I want to make them pay. But I'm dead, it's impossible to wish for that now. "

Azrathos chuckled, feeling the desire burning deep within Skyler. Seeing how he withstand his aura till then, he decided to stop unleashing furthermore. Attaining a similar look as Skyler, he came near him.

"There's only one way to achieve that." He chuckled as he looked into Skyler's eyes, "If you were to gain a physical form, Geno-Abbeys will automatically reject you, force you back to your world. And you'll be able to claim vengeance."

"Physical form?" Skyler looked bewildered, "But how that can be possible?"

"You nust inherit my will for that to happen." He smiled, "I'll create your physical body using every last bit of my life force energy. You'll posses that body. If you become successful, you'll be back to your world."

"But are you certain that'll work. I mean how can you be sure of it?"

"It's the sole law of Geno-Abbeys that I once created." He revealed , "Yes. I'm the one who once created this prison. Then I, too, was betrayed and cast aside into this void— into this eternal darkness, my very own creation."

"You created it?" Skyler wondered, "I don't understand. And who betrayed you? But more importantly, who exactly are you?"

Seeing his curiosity, Azrathos decided to tell him his side of story.

"I am Azrathos, the Supreme Dragon God" His soul took a form of a divine Dragon, spreading his divine-looking majestic wings endlessly into the void, he said, "I'm the progenitor of 'All Creation', also the one who created order of the worlds, who set time and space in motion, and gave rise to magic and logic— everything, even this very abbeys is nothing but my handiwork. Everything was going well, until I was betrayed."

"Betrayed? Who in the world dared to betray you?" Skyler asked as he clinched his fists.

"The biggest betrayal comes from the closest allies." Azrathos said bitterly, "Saranavia— the one entrusted with creating the life, my most loyal servant. She stabbed on my back, sealing my abilities, she cast my soul into this void. She's also known as the 'Goddess of Creation'."

As Azrathos said the name, Skyler looked pissed of, so as Azrathos himself. She was the root of their shared misery— why both were in Geno-Abbeys.

"If you take my offer, you'll be able to take revenge who betrayed you." He added, "But as I may ended up cease to exist, I want you defeat that vile goddess. If you agree then I'll free you from here."

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'cease to exist'? and wouldn't it be more convenient if you were to get free from here. You're far stronger than I am. I really don't think I can avenge you. If you want, you can use my soul to create a physical body for yourself."

"Yaa-haa-haa-haa." Azrathos burst into laugh, "I respect your offer, Skyler. You're a kind soul. But creating a physical form inside Geno-Abbeys is no trivial feat. Even I may end up cease to exist just to attempt it. In addition, you'll not only achieve a body made form the supreme dragon's life-force , you inherit my strength as well. Defeating Saranavia will be within your reach."

"That's reasonable." Skyler replied, looking worried about Azrathos, "But what will happen to you after then? Will you die?"

"Yes, perhaps." Azrathos smiled, "But don't you worry. I'll be inside your heart, protecting and guiding you to become the strongest by adapting my mana. Just give me an oath, in exchange for my protection, you'll carry out my will."

Skyler gave it a thought looking at Azrathos. After all, he and Azrathos were kind of similar. They both were betrayed and cast aside after getting used.

'I guess there's no need to give it a second thought. Do i? ' He thought, looking at Azrathos, 'If one of us can get free, both of our revenge will be fulfilled.'

"I agree. And I swear upon my name, I'll get revenge for both of us."

"Magnificent. Haa-Haa." He laughed, "Now here's a gift to become stronger."

As Azrathos spoke, a system appeared before Skyler. It was the bluish status screen he witnessed in the game he played with Hemsworth.

[Supreme Dragon God Azrathos has chosen to bestow his protection upon you. Do you agree to inherit his will for the exchange of his protection]

[Yes/No]

'A system!' He looked enthralled, 'Now it seems I'm the MC. But I'm little different than a typical MC. '

"Well, yes of course." Skyler smiled maliciously, looking at Azrathos he said, "Now it's our turn to show them."

[Congratulations. Ultimate Hidden class has been unlocked]

'What'

Before asking that, the void filled with immense aura as both of their souls started illuminating brightly, and the godlike aura enveloped them together.
