《We reincarnated as a two-headed dragon!》Chapter 8: Princess Avia part 2
Advertisement
She must know that I am the intruder...
I must kill her before she gives the alert!
I'm about to attack her...
“Don’t worry, we're safe here. It's impossible for the intruder to reach my nest! Well, where were we? ... Oh yes, you were going to tell me why you had two different voices.” Said Princess Avia.
Huh?
Is she stupid or is she pretending?
Maybe I was too careful. It's a magical beast after all, not a human...
“It looks like she has the intelligence of a child! She reminds me of my little brother... He was as naive as her...” Amelia told me.
“We were lucky to meet her and not one of her sisters.” I said.
Anyway, I can’t stay here anymore. The longer I stay, the more likely I am to be spotted. In addition, there is only ‘3 hours and 26 minutes’ left to complete the quest...
By the way, maybe Princess Avia knows where the lykanoss’ territory is and can guide me there.
But how can I ask her without her suspecting me of being the intruder?
Hmm...
“Sorry but we can’t stay longer. We must find our family in the lykanoss’ territory. Do you know the way?” I said.
“What? Already? I don’t know where the lykanoss’ territory is. I have never left the territory of my race, so I don’t know the outside world... However, I know how to leave the maze! But ... Hum ... How to say?”
A maze?
Oh, so all these cobwebs formed a maze. No wonder I got lost...
She seems reluctant to keep talking...
“You want something in return, right?” I said.
“It's just... I want you to stay a little longer to play with me! My... My sisters never spend time with me. Mother always says I'm weak. I never have anyone to play with...” said Princess Avia.

Play with her? I really feel like talking to a child. It could have been the case if she had been completely human. Well, no. She looks like a girl in her twenties...
“Poor little girl... We can play a little with her, can’t we?” Said Amelia.
*Sigh* I guess I have no choice...
“Fine... But I decide the game we're going to play.” I said.
“It's okay with me!” Answered Princess Avia.
I already have an idea of a ‘game’ that will allow me to learn more about her.
“Good. Here is the rule of the game: each turn we will ask a question about each other. The first who can’t, or doesn’t want to answer, has lost! If I win, you will show us how to leave the maze.” I said.
“Alright! But if it's me who wins then... Hum... You stay playing with me until tonight!” She said.
“It's okay with me. But no cheating, we must be honest. Plus, no negotiations even if you lose at the first question... I start first...” I said.
“Kyle, are you sure about that? We don’t know much about the origins of this body. We're not going to tell her we're from another world, are we?” Amelia told me.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” I replied.
“First question: what is the name of the world in which you were born?” I said.
“Easy! Mother told me when I was younger. This world is called Thersa!” She answered.
Huh? She told me she didn’t know anything about the outside world. I thought she was going to lose... At least I learned an important information...
“It's my turn! Let's see... I guess dragons have a name too. My question is: what’s your name?” Continued Princess Avia.

My name?
“My name is…”
Wait a minute! Amelia and I call each other by our respective names but we don’t have a name as a dragon...
“So? ... You don’t want to tell me your name? In that case, you lost!” Said Princess Avia.
“Wait! Give me a minute please.” I said.
“Kyle, why don’t we just tell her our names?” Amelia told me.
“I don’t want her to know that we are two different people. And we still need a name for this body anyway.” I said.
“In that case, let's choose a name!” She said.
“It's not that simple...” I said.
“That's right, we need a name that sounds cool! A name like Deathwing or Alduin... Oh no, those ones are already taken... Why not... Hum... Dermiak!” Said Amelia.
Dermiak? It's not so bad... But we can’t choose a name so quickly...
Do you want to choose ‘Dermiak’ as your new name?
(Your choice is final)
Huh?
Oh no, not this stupid system...
“What do you think of the name I chose?” Said Amelia.
I didn’t want to choose so quickly, but…
“Dermiak is not a bad name. Let's choose it.” I said.
Congratulations! Your name is now ‘Dermiak’!

Just Don't Shoot the Quartermaster
Aliens are real! And monsters! But that's racist, don't call them that. And there's magic too! The life of humble, hard-working Carioca*¹² Rafael Barro is thrown into disarray when the interstellar Multi-Unity Alliance comes knocking. During the negotiations to take Earth in as a Protected Member-Planet for the glory of our AI overlords, the aliens ‘accidentally’ break the Veil that keeps the mythics protected from humanity’s knowledge, revealing the creatures of legend and myth that were hiding among us for millennia — from the doorman to global leaders. After a series of mishaps in his ever chaotic Brazil, our intrepid hero decides to join the Unity's Army, where he ends up as a inglorious… quartermaster. The Unity takes all recruits to make matters worse, including the mythics! And the cherry on the damn pie is Rafael Barro’s extra assignment: writing this historical first-hand report on the wonders of Earth’s diversity, the seamless adaptation of all its members, and on his gallant units’ first stellar expedition ever to defend another precious*³ world! Are we talking about the same planet? (Reader discretion is advised; Contains Graphic Language and Potentially Excessive Swearing) *¹ Carioca = demonym of someone from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. *² humble and/or hardworking Cariocas = not necessarily mythics, ordinary ones actually exist. *³ precious = inasmuch every living planet is precious. Editor's Note: Someone disable his permission to edit the draft on UnityDocs, please! Hello, I'm McKing and I aim to write an original story with elements I've never seen put together before. Feel free to point out any mistakes you see — I'm not a native speaker, so I'm sure a few will pass me by. Sci-fi; Humor; (Brazilian) Urban Fantasy; faint shades of LitRPG. **Be warned it has a bit of an (absurd) slice-of-life beginning though the story is being subtly (I hope) worked on and eventually shifts gears (a bit). I planned to say that from the beginning, but I forgot to add it.** I hope that you enjoy it and that I can grow as a writer with your contributions. No Fixed Update Schedule. My inspiration comes in bursts and so will the Chapters. Sorry if that displeases you (I love regular updates too), but I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Keep in mind that it is a work in progress and things can eventually change a bit - I'll try to always note the changes. Sorry for the bad cover, it was the best my sorry skills could do! I hope you enjoy it,Mcking

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
