The First Dragon God

Leo stared at the screen floating in front of him in shock. He felt like he might still be feeling delirious due to the car crash and this was what followed after the disorienting feeling he had experienced previously.

He shook his head trying to shake off the presumed delirious feeling. After he shook his head, he saw that the first screen had already disappeared, leaving only the second.

He saw this and decided to shake his head one more time. He felt that it would take a few more shaking of his head to get the delirious feeling off him.

But even after shaking his head multiple times, he could still see the second screen. When he saw that the screen still hadn't disappeared, a feeling of curiosity, anxiety and even a little bit of excitement started welling up in his heart.

"Is this real?" He asked himself as he slowly stretched out his hand to touch it. Unlike what he thought would happen, his hands touched nothing.

Actually, the screen wasn't being displayed in front of him. It was more like it was all in his head.

"I can see it like it's being displayed in front of me but it's in my head. Could it be?..." Leo said to himself as he came to with a wild conjecture.

The feeling of excitement he was feeling gradually increased with each second as the conjecture continued to grow in his head.

He closed his eyes briefly and let out an exhale. He cleared his mind before the final test to confirm if the screen he's seeing is real.

Remembering something that he has read once on Ms Nora's phone, he decided to try it out. Using his thought, he controlled the screen to close and the next moment, the screen disappeared.

Leo's heart started beating fast in excitement when he saw this. He didn't understand how something like this was possible and why it was happening but it was a welcomed development to him.

"Now, for the final confirmation..," Leo said and took in a deep breath before letting it out slowly.

"Status."

"..."

Leo's eyes widened in shock and excitement.

"It's real! It's real!" Leo exclaimed in excitement.

He was about to start studying the screen in front of him when he noticed that the driver was starting to shake.

Leo didn't know what was happening but he felt that the driver's shaking was probably due to the pain he was feeling.

He quickly thought of a way to relief the pain for him and stop the shaking but he couldn't come up with anything.

"What do I do?" He asked himself as he looked around the car for anything that could help.

He thought hard and finally remembered what he was taught to do when he finds someone in an emergency situation.

'But how do I apply the first aid method when he's hanging upside down?' Leo thought to himself.

Leo thought of something and moved to remove the seat belt but just as his hands were about to touch the seat belt, he saw something extremely shocking.

The driver suddenly made a weird movement. A movement that seemed impossible with the seat belt still on and firmly holding him down.

His neck twisted unnaturally, with his face almost facing the back and his hands bent to an unnatural angle. This was coupled with the crisp sounds of bones breaking.

Leo's eyes widened in shock and fear when he saw this. He didn't understand why everything was going south today of all days.

He was about to move towards the driver and return his neck, and hands to their original position but something even more shocking than the last happened.

The driver started thrashing around violently with sounds of bones breaking being continuously heard from his body. This was also accompanied by low snarls.

Leo didn't understand what was going on but his instincts screamed at him and he immediately took action.

He has always trusted his instincts as it has always been right and he wasn't going to overlook the warning it was giving him, especially in such a precarious situation.

He knew he has to get out of the car. Even if he has to brave the heavy rain and snow, he has to choose between two devils—between the snow and rain outside or the unknown in the car.

He didn't need to think too much about it as he had already known what to do. Just as they say, it's better to choose the devil you know than the angel you don't.

Leo quickly made his decision, choosing the cold rain and snow outside. He was about to crawl out of the car when he remembered Ms Ves.

He knew that he has to escape but he didn't want to leave her behind. Also, the fact that she was still unconscious made things even more difficult for him.

He also knew that he has to make a quick decision or things won't end well if he's still here when the driver completely turns into whatever he's turning into.

Making a quick decision, he swiftly moved towards Ms Ves and he saw that she still had that pain-filled expression on her face. With a quick movement, he unbuckled the seat belt.

He quickly grabbed her and held out his hand, doing his best to cushion her fall. Without wasting time, he grabbed her and started dragging her out of the car.

As he stepped out of the car, the heavy rain immediately drenched his body. The rain caused his clothes to become wet, allowing the snowflakes to easily stick to it and melting afterwards.

Leo didn't notice his already wet body as his attention was on his surroundings and the scene in front of him. The best way to describe it would be chaos as it was nothing short of it.

The previous elegant and tall towering buildings were now collapsed and broken structures with some of the broken parts falling onto cars and people, crushing them in the process.

Leo never knew that he could see so much blood and death in his life. He thought of when he was groaning in pain before from the headache he felt due to the car crash but what about the people crushed under the rubbles from the collapsed building?

He looked and also saw a lot of people on the floor and in their cars thrashing around violently, with the hands and legs twisting to unnatural angles just like the driver. And this followed by the same snarling sound that the driver was making.

Leo felt a chill in his heart when he saw this. He knew that things were extremely dangerous at the moment and he had to immediately get to safety.

He was actually surprised that even with the heavy rain and snow falling, he could see his surroundings perfectly.

Without wasting any more time, he dragged Ms Ves out of the car and into the rain, and snow. He was sorry for his actions of dragging her on the floor but he had to get the two of them far away from the people thrashing violently on the floor as he doesn't know what might happen next.

As he dragged her, he looked around for a safe place where they could hide until everything had settled.

He was looking for a safe place and was shocked to find a very beautiful young lady who looked to be the same age as him standing in the heavy rain and snow with a happy smile on her face.

Her skin was extremely pale to the point of being white but it was beautiful. Her exquisite red dress, adorned with golden patches and unknown symbols made her look even more beautiful, giving her a regal air.

It wasn't only the young lady that was standing in the rain and snow. There was a middle-aged lady standing behind her.

If Leo was to guess her age from her appearance, she looked to be of the same age as the oldest caretaker back at the orphanage home.

The middle-aged lady also had the same skin color as the young lady but she was dressed in what looks to be a servant outfit. Still, she was just as beautiful as the young lady but gave off a different feeling.

The thing shocking about the young lady and the woman is that the heavy rain and snow wasn't touching them. It was they holding an umbrella above their head but there was nothing to see guiding them from the rain.

"Hehehe." He heard the young lady laugh in an equally beautiful voice.

"You see, Elda, the information given to us was correct!" She said excitedly.

"Princess, please don't make such reckless deals again. You were only lucky that they gave you the right information. You know that if you're to suffer any grievances, your father would go likely mad with rage," The middle-aged lady called Elda, said.

The young lady pouted when she thought of her father's possible reaction if he hears that she was scammed by someone.

The pout was quickly replaced with a smile when she remembered her reason for coming here and the reason why she went through the trouble of buying that information from a very unreliable source.

"Elda, let's not focus on that. We should be thinking of how to get enough benefits before those vermins start finding their way here.

"Princess, you shouldn't talk that way about others. Also, even though this is a planet that is still going through its awakening, we should be careful. I'm very sure you know where we are." Elda said, cautioning the young lady.

"Yeah, yeah." The young lady said as she waved her hand dismissively, before taking a look around.

"They are all so weak. Almost all of them are turning into zombies and who knows when those that are still normal will fully awaken and wake up? Even if the awaken, how long would they be able to survive?" She asked she shook her head in disappointment.

"Tsk. I thought that I would find something interesting here but it's just as boring as everywhere else. The only difference is that they are weak," She sighed in even more disappointment.

While the young lady was feeling disappointed, Leo was just processing everything he just heard. He didn't understand most of the things they said but the sentence that stuck in his head was about everyone turning into zombies.

He knew what zombies were as he had seen them in a movie before and if what the young lady said was true, then...

He looked at those on the floor and saw that they were still thrashing around.

....This means he and Ms Vex are in extreme danger.

He decided to hurry up and quickly find a good place to hide. He can't keep standing in the rain and allowing it to continue drenching him and Ms Ves.

Just when he was about to continue dragging Ms Ves, he saw the young lady standing in front of him.

"Interesting, he's the first to wake up. That's amazing. This means that he must have some talent," She said in intrigue as she walked towards Leo, and started studying him carefully.

As she moved around him, studying him, Leo's eyes followed her every movement carefully and at alert. He knew that he wouldn't be able to react if she wanted to do anything to him as he didn't even notice when she appeared in front of him. But he still wanted to make an effort.

As the young lady walked around Leo, she noticed that his eyes were following her every movement. This is something that is impossible as a very high level concealment skill of hers was active.

She would have thought it wasn't active but she knew that it was active, as things would be completely different for her if it wasn't.

She looked at him curiously and waved her hand in front of his face. When she saw him flinch, she knew that he could definitely see her.

"Hey, you can see me, right?" She asked in confirmation and she saw Leo nodded slowly in response.

"What?! How?!"
