I Received System to Become Dragonborn

On the way home, Erend was tasked as the driver because Billy's condition was no longer possible for that.

Billy slumped into the chair as soon as he got into the car and immediately closed his eyes.

His drunken state suddenly returned after he had been sober for a few minutes.

Erend started the car and then left the harbor area.

Tonight the full moon was shining above their heads. There wasn't even a cloud up above.

He didn't know where the cloud that had rained as if it could drown the world yesterday had gone to.

The streets are quiet this late at night so Erend can drive more peacefully.

He was indeed slightly drunk after drinking the ale. But not as drunk as Billy. And quiet streets make it easier to drive a car without worrying.

On the way, Erend called Tut inside his head. 'Hey, Tut. Are you there?'

["I'm here now." ]

Tut's answer came almost instantly.

Erend got the impression that Tut had just come in a hurry from somewhere. But that doesn't matter now.

'You know what I'm trying to say, right?'

[ "Yes. You want to know about that weird feeling you had just now, right?" ]

'Yeah. You know what it is?'

[ "I received information from Systema that what you are feeling is the resonance from the impact of collided Magic." ]

Erend had already guessed that answer.

'Who did that? And, can you show me the place?'

[ "For now, I can't tell you." ]

'Why?'

[ "Systema didn't allow it for now." ]

Erend's forehead creased into an annoyed expression. But he also wanted to know the reason behind it.

'What do you mean? Isn't this something dangerous?'

[ "You can't jump to conclusions like that." ]

Erend took a deep breath. But then he thought again that there is a possibility like that. Maybe it really wasn't a danger.

If it was indeed a dangerous situation, then Systema would have told him and made him act immediately to deal with it.

[ "Exactly." ]

The car stops at an intersection because of a red light.

'Did that Magic clash occur in this world?' Erend asked.

[ "Yes. It does happen in this world." ]

'But how? have any Elves crossed into this world and caused trouble?'

[ "No. I got information that it's Magic from a creature of this world. You already know about that, right?" ]

'Yeah. I just didn't expect that they would fight each other. Wait, does that mean there's something wrong with the experiment?'

["I don't have an answer for you." ]

'Hmm, I have to meet Aurdis. Thanks, Tut.'

After that, Erend felt that Tut's presence disappeared from his head.

The car was going pretty fast now because Erend had to get home soon.

After parking their car at their usual place, Erend took Billy to his house.

Erend explained to his mother who was forced to wake up in the middle of the night about what really happened.

After that, the task of bringing Billy to his room was passed to his mother.

Erend returns to his house when Arty and his mother are asleep.

The house is so dark when no one wakes up. They do it for an obvious reason, which is to save electricity.

Erend walked carefully and entered his room. After that, he locked the door and lay down in his room.

Erend tries to contact Aurdis via telepathy. He concentrated hard despite still being a little drunk.

Finally, a few moments later he felt he had succeeded in getting a connection with Aurdis.

'E-Erend?' Aurdis' voice, which he had not heard for a long time, made Erend realize that he had missed her.

'H-Hi, how are you?' Erend asked.

Replies don't come quickly. It took a few moments before Aurdis's voice was heard again.

'I'm fine. How about you?'

'I'm fine too,' Erend replied. 'Listen, I need to talk to you now.'

'What do you want to talk about?'

'This is something quite important. Can we meet now?'

'This late?' Aurdis paused. 'Yeah, sure. Why not?'

Erend smiled involuntarily. 'Great. Can I go there now?'

'Wait a minute.'

So, Erend wait. After several minutes of not hearing Aurdis's voice, she finally spoke again.

'You can come now.'

Erend immediately got up from his bed and asked Aurdis to open the Portal for him.

She didn't take long, Aurdis opened the Portal for him a second later.

Erend felt his heart beat faster as he stared at the Portal.

Not that he was too nervous. But because he realized that the longing in his chest had accumulated so much that he could no longer hold it in.

Erend enters the portal and a few seconds later the portal disappears.

Erend appeared on the other side of the world. Aurdis's face was the first thing to greet him.

That face was still as beautiful as he had always seen. Those blue eyes seemed to shine in the middle of a dark place.

Aurdis' lips curved into a wide smile that revealed her white teeth.

Erend breathed out, relieved that he could finally see Aurdis again.

Even though they hadn't been apart for too long, for the two of them the time when they didn't see each other had felt like a long time ago.

"I'm glad to see you again," Aurdis said.

Erend felt the same way. But suddenly, he remembered that he had more important things to tell Aurdis.

"I'm here because I have something important to discuss with you," Erend said. Now his tone became more serious.

"What is that?"

"You may be surprised to hear this. I have seen the man who stole the key to the Fountain of Eternity," Erend explained.

"Is that true? But we already got the key. And I assume that the problem is solved."

"Yes. But there is a new problem again."

"New problems?" Aurdis swallowed her saliva. "What's that?"

What worried Aurdis was that Erend told her about a new problem that had happened in his world.

Especially after that, he said this was a very important matter.

Actually, what's the problem he wanted to talk about?
