Picking up Girls With My System

An old man wearing a simple grey robe. The man had long white hair and a white beard that almost touched his chest.

It reminded Arthur of Nefion, or at least another crazy old man.

The appearance of that old man scared the shit out of Arthur, especially when looking at the interrogation dots above the man’s head.

[???]

Arthur could only see 50 levels ahead, which meant that the old man was strong.

The ability that Arthur used to see other people’s levels could also be activated to get more info. He never used that, but he tried to do that on the old man.

Nothing happened. It seemed he was immune.

“I-I was wandering around and found this building. I’m sorry if it is your home.” The old man scanned Arthur, and his eyes went wide open, “no, you’re not like these stupid dream beasts. You’re different.” Arthur also sensed the old man was familiar and dared to ask, “old man. Are you a dragon?”

“HAHAHAHA, I knew it. You are also a dragon, boy. But how?”

“I… I don’t know. It just happened.”

“Interesting,” the man had his hand on his chin, and said, “I’m Arsin, and you?”

“Arthur.” Arthur was so excited to find another dragon. He thought all of them were dead.

“Boy, I know you are thinking about learning something from me, a more experienced dragon, but I can’t…”

“Huh?”

“Don’t get me wrong, kid. Helping other dragons is something I would do without asking, but I don’t have access to my powers here, and I can’t even touch the dragon treasures, or else they will come and kill me…” “Who would have the power to win against us, dragons?” “The gods, who else?” It was not the first time Arthur heard about these gods. Who exactly were they?

“You have to leave this place. I can sense the dragon energy coming out from you, and if I can, they also can.” “Do you know something about them? What can I do to bring you out of this place?” “I can’t leave unless you kill the god that trapped me in this place.”

“Kid, do you know about Sky City?”

“I know it is a legendary city where dragons lived, and that is almost impossible to find it.”

“Correct, and correct. But there’s something else there. I’m pretty sure it has a way to kill the gods.

“What? Are you serious?”

“There are 8 gods at the moment, but back in my time, there were 10. Our lord and king, Placidusax, found a way to kill them, and managed to get 2 with him before he perished.”

It was strange to see that old man talking about Placidusax when the said dragon was right in front of him.

Well, Arthur still did not know how he could be that dragon yet doesn’t remember anything. Perhaps when he got stronger that would change.

“But how do I get there?” The old man scratched the back of his head, and start walking around that disorganized room as if he was looking for something.

“Where did I put it? Where did I put it? Found you.” The thing he was looking for was a compass. It was not an ordinary compass, and it even had a drawing of a dragon on it.

“This is the only thing I can give you for now, or else the gods will find us. This is a compass that points to the Sky City, but only when you are close to it.”

Arthur accepted the gift. He wished the compass pointed at the Sky City from anywhere, but that was not the case. He still needed to get closer to it.

“The Sky City keeps moving, so even I don’t know where it is these days. Wait, maybe I know someone that can help you.”

“You do?”

“Yes, yes. My brother is in the human realm trying to look for a way to free me of this place. You should look for him.” “How does your brother look like? Or his name?” “He is old, just like me. The name he’s using in the human realm is Nefion or something like that.”

“N-Nefion?”

Arthur was shocked. He remembered everything that he passed with Nefion, as well as the skill description in his system that said the Void Step was created by a dragon.

He was almost sure Nefion was also a dragon, but hearing it from someone else still shocked him.

“Do you know him?”

Arthur briefly explained everything that happened with him and Nefion.

Arsin heard the story and looked down with sad eyes. He missed his brother, and he wanted to leave that place.

“I’ll find him, and we will look for the Sky City together. It may take a while, but we will rescue you, Arsin.” The old man hugged Arthur, and said, “thank you. But you need to leave before things get worse for you. Follow me.”

Arsin led them to another room, and in that room, there was a portal.

“This portal leads outside to a dungeon on the island of a friend of mine.”

“You are a friend of that turtle?” Arthur said.

“Do you know him too?”

“Only by name.”

“I see. Well, go on, youth. I can’t follow you through the portal or I’ll die. Take care and find my brother when possible.”

Arthur walked towards the portal, turned around before entering it, and said, “Arsin, we will come for you.”

Arthur passed through the portal and left the Dream Realm.

The next thing he saw was the cobblestone walls from the dungeon and a pile of corpses.

“Did I kill all of these myself?”

It was a strange thing to see the aftermath of your actions, yet don’t remember any of them.

Arthur followed the pile of corpses, leaving that floor, and eventually leaving the dungeon.

“I hope that Wisa and Jane are okay…” Arthur thought.

He left, going straight to Odemore to see if everything was okay.
