I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Amid his confusion, Erend didn't realize that Aurdis was looking at him.

Because the car had stopped, Aurdis could only see Erend beside her. She can't enjoy the sight of moving city lights.

"Is something wrong, Erend?" Aurdis asked.

"What?" Erend turned to Aurdis. "Nothing."

Aurdis looked at Erend with a concerned look. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Erend nodded while showing a small smile. Wanted to show that he was indeed okay.

But Aurdis didn't believe it. The look on Erend's face that she saw earlier was the look on the face of someone who was thinking about something troubling.

Besides that, she also felt Erend's anxiety in her heart.

She didn't know if it was just in her mind which was fixated on Erend.

Or maybe it was because she really could feel Erend's anxiety as if it was her own feeling.

Billy, who was already sitting in place of Adrien in the driver's seat, turned his head when he heard Aurdis' words.

"Hey, man. Don't worry. Everything will be fine," Billy said with the intention of comforting Erend.

"I know," Erend replied.

Billy just nodded. This is probably the moment where Erend doesn't want to say what he feels.

So Billy didn't say anything more to him. Just like usual when he was in that phase.

"I'm going to sleep for a bit. You guys should sleep too," Adrien said.

The car started running again under Billy's control. Erend decided to keep all his anxiety to himself for a while.

They will undertake a dangerous mission.

So naturally, Erend chose to hide this matter from them for a while. At least until the problem of stopping the experiment was resolved.

'But won't what we're doing be in vain?'

Even if they would succeed in removing the Magic power from the people who become the experimental subjects, they would not be able to stop the spread of Magic in this world.

If so, what does this mean for them? Wouldn't it be great if someone had mastered Magic this quickly?

When his doubts filled his brain, that's when Tut's voice which he had forgotten for some time was heard.

It seems that Tut only comes at surprising times.

[ "Erend, you just made contact with the Time Dragon?" ]

Upon hearing Tut's words, Erend's eyes widened.

But he was conscious not to show any surprising movements now. Or else he would make Aurdis and the others suspicious.

'What do you mean?' Erend asked. Confusion enveloped his mind.

He had not finished with the matter of the news brought by the man named Krono, another shocking news had come from Tut.

[ "He didn't say anything to you?" ]

'Actually, he said something really shocking. Something you should have said a long time ago.'

Erend had also just remembered that Tut should have been able to relay the information Krono had said earlier.

That way, Erend can also take more appropriate actions and not waste time summoning Aurdis and Saeldir. Then take a long trip like this.

[ "Systema can't do everything, or know about everything, Erend. You have to understand." ]

'Why? I think Systema is a power that can even transcend multiple universes.'

[ "Systema is a very powerful power. However, we can't reach everything that exists in many parallel worlds at once." ]

[ "Basically, each universe has its own ruling force. Systema exists only among them, doesn't mean it rules over them." ]

'I don't understand what you're saying.'

[ "You don't have to understand about that. Just answer my question. Have you really been in contact with the Time Dragon?" ]

'I guess so.'

Erend could think of no other answer. He had no contact with anyone other than Krono.

And contact with Billy, Adrien, or Aurdis and Saeldir wasn't something that would make Tut contact him in this haste.

'I just talked to someone in my dream. But I don't know for sure whether he is a being that you call Time Dragon or not.'

[ "I got information that you recently made contact with him. So that must be true." ]

Erend thought back to his meeting with Krono.

The meeting was still recorded very clearly in his mind as if he was actually there.

Krono, that man in golden clothes with white gold patterns had indeed said things that would happen in the future.

If he really was the Time Dragon that Tut said, it meant that Erend had just met an extraordinary being.

[ "Did he say anything?" ]

'Yes. Like I said before, he said something so important.'

Then Erend said all the things he had heard from Krono.

Maybe Erend was delusional and that thought only existed in his brain. But somehow Erend could feel that Tut was shocked.

[ "So he said that..." ]

'Can I believe what he says?'

[ "There's no reason not to believe in what he's saying, Erend." ]

[ "The Time Dragon is an extremely powerful being. He is outside of Systema's observation. He hovers between the future, past, and present." ]

[ "Systema has tried to track him down many times but can't find him." ]

'Why is Systema tracking him? Is Systema after his power?'

[ "Systema can't take another being's power. Systema can only copy it." ]

[ "With the power of the Time Dragon, Systema can better predict what will happen in the future." ]

[ "However, Systema can't locate him." ]

'Alright. So, the Time Dragon's power far surpassed Systema's. He knows about the future, and doesn't stop it?'

[ "Almost all powerful beings who have the power of Time, don't want to stop the future they know is bad." ]

'Why?'

[ "They can't stop fate. Everything has to flow according to the Grand Design that was destined." ]

'Then they can only issue a warning?'

[ "Yes. That alone is considered generosity for them. Most beings with the power of Time don't even want to do anything because they know what's going to happen and can't do anything about it." ]

[ "However, Systema thinks differently. With the power of Time, many calamities will be stopped." ]

["Because of that, Systema attempted to track them down. But to no avail." ]
