Ranking System



With the wyrm under me, the three of them should have nothing else to do with me. I looked at the wyrm and sat on top of it.

My mount was the size of an average house, enough to create a mini-earthquake with each movement. I can't help but be satisfied with how fast this could go.

Since it serves me, I might give it some of the elder dragon's blood. One drop should be enough for a power-up.

"Drink it."

The wyrm didn't know my intentions, but it felt the power from the tiny drop of black blood. Once it drank the blood, pain could be felt in the wyrm's body. I could have negated all the side effects, but I couldn't be bothered.

The wyrm struggled a lot due to the corrosive nature of the blood. Since I was on top of the wyrm, it squirmed and tried to get me off. It started to get annoying with all its shaking, so I used my curse and calmed it down, making the evolution smoother.

"Charles. What did you feed it? It grew!"

Everyone here was surprised to see my pet grow. It didn't evolve as a species, but its strength improved. The wyrm was grey; with its change, it now had jet-black coloring, making it cooler.

"I gave it dragon blood."

"Dragon blood??? Isn't that expensive?"

"I bought a whole dragon corpse."

"How much did you spend?"

Talking to Joanne, I could see that the three were eavesdropping. Even if they listened to me talk, they're not foolish enough to start fighting me. They knew what I could do, and with my improved strength, it was foolish to start robbing me.

"A trillion credits."

"???"

Everyone was too stunned to speak about how much I had spent. Once the wyrm had transformed entirely, it roared, shaking the area.

"Shut up. I get you powered up, but do you have to be so loud?"

With my punch on its head, the wyrm cried in pain. Knowing it was being disruptive, it obeyed, taking in the grudge.

"Joanne, get in. We are going south!"

"Wait!!!"

Without caring about those three, Joanne and I left my pet. Our distance covered had quickened with the help of my pet. I was glad I decided to keep it, but now I needed to find a way to feed it.

I was surprised that we were okay with this speed. While it was fast, the seating was uncomfortable. Joanne also felt the same but didn't voice her opinion.

"Slow down. There's a lot of presence nearby. It's a city."

Before I traveled some more, I had to find a comfortable saddle.

"What is that? Defend the city!!!"

Seeing that my ride had caused a disturbance at the city gate, the guards called for backup. Some leave due to fear, and I bet they will lose their job.

"Wait. We're not enemies."

I had shrunk the wyrm to the side of my palm and put my pet on my shoulders. Looking at it now, I can say that it was pretty cute.

Seeing that Joanne and I had no intention to invade, the guards let down their guards. Their weapons were still pointed at us, ensuring we did nothing funny.

"Otherworlders, what do you want?"

"We just want to look around the city and buy some supplies."

"You would have to pay five thousand fibs per person upon entry. This is the rule for this city."

That sounds expensive. I have seen a city that needs money to enter. Is the guard trying to scam us? Maybe I should use the wyrm and break the city gate.

"Five thousand? Why make it so expensive?"

"Not our rule; ask the king. If you don't have the money, then you can't enter."

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course I am. Corruption would easily backfire."

I had secretly made the guard tell the truth, whether he was lying or not. Since he was telling the truth, I handed him ten thousand fibs and entered the city.

The city had no fog, which was much better than the previous town. I was getting tired of this sight.

"Charles. I have something I need to buy. You have things you need to buy. Why don't we split up and return here in three hours?"

"Sure."

Joanne had wanted to do something by herself. I felt that she was impatient, but I wouldn't stop her. As controlling as I am, I wasn't in a relationship with Joanne, so I couldn't control her.

"Little buddy. What kind of meat do you eat?"

I know it was weird for me to talk to a pet. But I know I have understood it to some extent.

I went to the grocery store and asked what the wyrm wanted to eat. I went to the meat section, and there were a variety of meats.

My pet took a glance and started to smell the meat it preferred. Once we got to pork, I decided to buy it along with the chicken meat.

I was surprised that my pet was somewhat welcomed upon entering the grocery store. If this were Earth, they would ban pets.

After I bought my meat, I bought a cushion to make the ride much more comfortable.

"That creature. Is it for sale?"

"No. And could you not get any closer?"

Walking around the city, I got stopped by some freaky kid. He got too close to my face when he spoke to me.

"Prince, stop!"

Prince? The person before me didn't seem like a prince and certainly didn't have the attitude of one. Some fancy-looking guards ran up and tried to stop the prince.

"I'm sorry for the prince's behavior, but he's unique in his way."

Anyone could tell at first glance that the prince was a weirdo. The vibes he gave me told me that he was perverted differently.

"But that monster is so beautiful! I got to have it!"

Now I know why I thought he was different. He's the type to be sexually interested in reptiles.

"Sorry, but this little one isn't for sale. I had been with it since it was born."

I told a lie to make anyone synthesize what I said. No one can turn down the "I had been it with since it was born sentence."

"That's a shame. I thought I could get something new for my collection."

Collection? An animal collector? They aren't caged up in a small cage, are they? I'm sure the animals are well-kept, and the person is a prince.

"How about this? Can I study with your friend for a little while? I can give you a tour of my castle in return."

"Not interested. I have something I need to buy."

"Buy? I can get it for you!"

Ugh. An aggressive personality type was my worst matchup. But if this castle had a comfortable saddle, I might have to let my wyrm go for a bit.

"I'm trying to buy a saddle. Something comfortable, regardless of how challenging the ride is."

"I think an artifact for that. But you should know what I want."

"How long will it take? I have to leave in a hurry."

I gave the prince a timer. I didn't want him to hold the saddle hostage for who knows how long.

"At most four hours!"

Four hours was too much. Unless I find Joanne and tell her my location, this wouldn't be a problem.

"I have a friend waiting for me in two hours and forty minutes by the gate. She is an angel who is hard to miss. I will let you study for four hours if you can send a messenger. And I want a geass signed."

Any foul play will be annoying. I had taken out a geass and written the content of it. The prince and his guard had looked into the details to see if anything was wrong.

The prince had signed the contract after reading it with ease. This would be my fourth time going to a castle.

The first time would be at Gaia, Courtney's homeworld. And the three other times were when I was in my madness. While this castle wasn't the greatest, it wasn't the worst.

On our way, I could tell that everyone who saw me was curious about who I was. I don't know the prince, but I doubt he had many friends due to his fetish.

Anyway, I could say that everyone here was well disciplined. Despite his mysterious nature, everyone here seems to respect him. I wonder what talent he had, even if he was weird.

"Welcome back, your highness."

One of the butlers greeted the prince in an orderly fashion. The butler then glanced at me with interest in his eyes.

"Welcome to the palace. As our guest, would you like some drinks?"

"Vincent, our guest, will be in the basement. You can bring it there when you're done."

That sounded sus.
