Reborn As A Dragon!? Chapter 10: Human Things

Previously:

Parthenia was spread out on the ground with an eye missing, a ripped up left-wing, and one of her horns cut in half.

(Alderam) - Parthenia?

I walk closer to see her and I start to cry...

(Alderam) - Why the h.e.l.l did you have to do what you did? I didn't deserve your protection and I sure in h.e.l.l didn't impress you. I am nothing like you guys, for I... I... am not truly a dragon.

I hear something faint near Parthenia. I go closer and see her left eye open halfway.

(Parthenia) - I already knew, mine young prince...

(end)

______________________________

When I heard those words my heart dropped to my feet. Without thinking at all, I run over to Parthenia and am about to use [Darkness Heal](SS). I then realize that Parthenia isn't a darkness dragon, but a storm dragon. If I used it, it would cause her to suffer.

(Alderam) - G.o.d d.a.m.n it all, even if I am this powerful, I still can't help the one I care about the most! Tears would not stop flowing down my eyes as I felt helpless.

You have earned the t.i.tle [Compa.s.sionate]

Screw off! I don't need any of your bulls.h.i.t at a time like this!

Why the h.e.l.l did G.o.d bring me over here? Just to mess with me the whole time? Was it because I was hated? Maybe because G.o.d hated me just as everyone else did.

(Parthenia) - Young prince, I will be alright, for I am just a little bit injured at the moment.

(Alderam) - You call that being a "little bit" injured? How did you know that I wasn't a dragon and why would you train me and help me all these years if you knew it all this time!

[Communication](C) Has leveled up to [Communication](B)

(Parthenia) - b.i.t.c.h, I knew from the moment we started training that thou wast human. Thou acts too weirdly when thy was not even a year old. I even told thy the story about how delicious humans can be when cooked after skinning and thou just went outside of the cave and threw up. To answer your other question, I still trained thou because even though thy was human, thou reminded me of my queen.

(Alderam) - I guess that explains it then, but you look to be on the brink of death, will you die?

(Parthenia) - No, I was simply taking a nap after thou barged in and started crying like a baby.

(Alderam) - Oh, my bad, but will you be alright later?

(Parthenia) - Of course, for my name is Parth--(Blood cough) enia, the storm dragon! However, flying and seeing well is not going to return. That human was less scary than your mother by the way.

[A/N - All might blood cough btw]

(Alderam) - To make sure that he isn't a problem in the future, I need to learn how to get even stronger quickly, so that I can kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

(Parthenia) - There is only one way that a person can become stronger extremely quickly, but it is very dangerous. Thy should be fine though since thou is op as h.e.l.l.

I heard something slip out of her mouth, but I couldn't hear it very well.

(Parthenia) - There is a dungeon quite far from here, approximately 200km north past the kingdom. It houses some of the most deadly monsters in existence, so thou should level up fairly quickly.

I need to see how strong Parthenia is so that I can know when I can finally be able to take on Leo.

(Alderam) - Parthenia, can I see your statistics?

(Parthenia) - Sure, I do not see any reason to deny your request.

_____________________________

Wow, her stats are crazy compared to mine. Also, she doesn't even have a weakness to light and she still almost died when fighting him... This guy is extremely dangerous.

Why the h.e.l.l is one of her t.i.tles [World Eater's b.i.t.c.h]? Was she really that scared of my mother to get a t.i.tle like this? Wait a second, she has the skill [Human Transformation](S). Does that mean that I can learn how to walk amongst humans again?

(Alderam) - Parthenia, can you teach me how to do a human transformation?

(Parthenia) - I have forgotten about that skill. I am sorry I never told thou but sure. Place thy head on my head to teach thy [Human Transformation].

I place my head on hers and a lot of information pa.s.ses through my head as I learn how to use the skill.

You have successfully learned how to use [Human Transformation](SS) due to your original affiliation with them.

(Alderam) - I will cherish this gift from you to be able to help the people I care about.

I walk out of the cave and start flying away, but I realize that I am near the village and I think it might be a nice time to try out a human transformation to see what I look like.

I then activate [Human Transformation](SS)...

I start to shrink, I mean shrink, until I got to around 5,1. I look into the puddle of water and see dark brown eyes, long dark h-. You've got to be kidding me, I'm a G.o.d d.a.m.n trap! (Haku from Naruto)

I guess I will have to roll with it until I can find some way to make me not look like a girl.

Timeskip 2 Hours

I finally arrive at the village I saw in the distance when I first arrived on demon mountain and walk up to the gate. They ready their weapons as I walk up to them.

(Guard 1) - "Excuse me young miss, but you don't seem to be from around here. Do you have any proof of identification?"

Should I act like a girl or not hm... ahh screw it.

(Alderam [Unnamed Girl]) - "Sorry mister, but I was just lost in the demon forest and barely made it out alive. I lost almost everything while trying to get away from those creatures."

(Guard 2) - "It's alright, you need to place your hand on this...o...b.. It will tell us if you are a criminal or not and it will also create a new id for you."

Thank G.o.d that I haven't committed any crimes or else it would be useless using this transformation. I place my hand on the orb and it shines green. Ok good, this proves that I am not a criminal and I can change my status because my [Conceal Status] is such a high level. I changed my name to Haku because why the f.u.c.k not.

(Guard 2) - "Okay, it seems like you are good, it will be 8 silver to get a printed card and 2 copper to gain access into the village."

[A/N - I'm switching to Haku for the human form and Alderam for Dragon form]

(Haku) - "Thank you very much, sirs."

I toss them a gold coin that I found in Parthenia's lair and see the guards drop their mouths in amazement.

(Guard 1) "Um little lady, w-where d-did y-you get a holy coin!?

Oh man, I seriously screwed up didn't I?

(Haku) - "It's all the money I have on me right now, so if I could get a few coins of change to live for the next few days."

In reality, I had about thirty of those coins because I thought they were normal golden coins. I didn't know they were worth more than a normal gold coin. I guess I should've checked to see the huge cross going through the middle of the coin. That was basically a dead giveaway. d.a.m.n, I'm so stupid.

The other guard rushes into his quarters and about thirty seconds later comes back panting with a huge bag of coins and gives it to me.

(Guard 2) - "This is all of the money we could prepare for the time being. It contains 30 gold coins, 55 silver, and 92 copper coins."

Holy c.r.a.p, was it worth that much money?

(Guard 1) - "You may enter young miss."

I take my leave and enter the village.

Guard 1 POV:

I see a young lady that I am unfamiliar with and question her since she looks unscathed after coming out of the demon forest.

She then says she had no ID and she just tosses us a holy gold coin like it is pocket change to her. I have never seen one and I even thought that they didn't exist in the first place. The only people who are said to own them are n.o.bility. Mainly the king, queen, and n.o.bles all have these coins.

She enters inside of the village because she has not come out as a criminal and has higher than normal statistics for an average human for a girl her age. I talk to (Guard 2)

(Guard 1) - "D-do you think she is a n.o.ble from a faraway land?"

(Guard 2) - "She flipped a holy gold coin at us like it was nothing, so it is almost definitely likely that she is a n.o.ble of some kind. What do you think would have happened if we attacked her?"

(Guard 1) - "I would hate being hunted by n.o.bility since they have connections all throughout the kingdom."

Haku POV:

Why the h.e.l.l would a village be guarded to this extent? Well, its probably because it's literally not even 5 km away from the demon forest. What kind of idiot decided the place for this village to be built.

I am just looking around the village for a few days to see if it really has that fantasy vibe that is always in isekai manga's.

Yep, I see an adventurers guild and an inn right next to it. It's kind of hilarious that two of the most stereotypical places in fantasy land are right next to each other.

I would have to guess that the adventurers guild is the place to go so that I can learn some more information before heading out.

"Time to see what I am getting myself into!" I walk into the guild.

Elsewhere...

(Leo) - "So, you are telling me that the filth you call Ellie in that weak party is the only one in the kingdom who has [Heal](S)? I hate to go to such a weak party for this favor, but I will get healed one way or another, even if I have to bend some of the rules to get that." A twisted smile appears on his face as he makes his way back to the Kingdom of Dawn.
