《The World isn't as Ugly nor Beautiful as You Think》The Origin of the Dragon
Advertisement
20 years ago, at the hot and calm night, all of the villagers were falling asleep. No one wanted to go out as they were too busy enjoying the dreams the had, but suddenly, some loud and frightening roars, sizzlings and clinks came that everyone awoke and found that the real nightmare was right there before their very eyes. They then ran as far as they could immediately
That twin-headed beast crashed everything it saw, devastated everything around it, and massacred anyone who tried to stop it. Those four men in white were evacuating the villagers as they realized that trying to kill it is the stupidest idea they ever had. It's better to lose your houses than your lives. It's better to run to survive than staying and letting it kills you. In that time, all you could hear were only roars, screams, and cries.
'Help!'
'Save us!'
'I don't wanna die!'
They were just screaming and crying as they let the fear and despair overwhelm them. They were overwhelmed by those two without realizing that they were stepping on their own families.
But suddenly, a ponytail haired woman appeared standing before that beast. (I am sorry if my image about women is kinda lame. I just try to match the figure of the women in this story with the real women in Indonesia.)
'No way!'
'Has she lost her mind?!'
They were shocked at seeing her standing there without any hesitation.
'ROARRRRR!!!!'
She didn't show any hesitation nor fear on her face even though it kept roaring aloud before her. It emitted a wind orb from its mouth of its light head to her. She just opened her hand and her palm absorbed that wind orb.
'Impossible!'
'She could fight that beast!'
They were shocked at what she just did.
'I won't let you destroy my homeland! I, Laras the protector of Tenganan village, will put an end to you!' She exclaimed.
That dragon was roaring and sending its deadly scratch to her. Seeing that, she jumped on it immediately and opened her hand.
'Gelombang Angin! (Wind Wave)' A gust of wind emitted from her palm flinching that dragon.
She dashed to its back and took a leap. She put her palm to its back and shot another wind wave to immobilize that dragon. When it finally fell down, all of the villagers were cheering cheerfully. They were shouting Laras' name aloud with full of joy and excitement.
In the middle of the crowd, she suddenly heard a voice somewhere.
"Help! Help! Help me!"
"What is it? What happened?!"
"Help me! Please!"
Suddenly, Laras and that dragon were wrapped somewhere. The villagers became shocked and confused at what just happened, yet those men in white realized something was not right and they four decided to run to save those two.
Laras found herself in the forest. She saw a man in a polka dot with blue base color cloak standing there with that dragon tied up by blue Iru thread like a beast that just sold from the black market.
'Laras, the last Zaluntino, right?' He said.
'You! What have you done to it?' Laras was trying to get up, but she couldn't move any single muscle. 'What have you done to my body!'
'Beats me.' He smirked. 'One of my pet ran away. I just want to pick it home. I didn't expect that it caused such a terrible holocaust, well it will be a wonderful mass weapon someday anyway.' He felt satisfied.

'Curse you! Turning a dragon into a mass weapon?! Are you insane!' She exclaimed.
'This is why I hate Zaluntinos very much. They are so ambitious about their so-called sacred mission by enslaving the dragon to protect this world.'
'Enslaving you said?! It is their duty to protect this world and we are the ones who must take care of them and guard them.'
'Tsk, what a nonsense.' Laras saw a little purple dragon on his right hand.
'Gogon!'
'Laras... Help...' It sobbed.
'Now you must know why you can't move, right? When someone lost her Ribo, she won't be able to move her body anymore.' He explained smirking while burning that little dragon into ashes before her very eyes.
'No... Please stop... Stop!' Laras was really shocked seeing her dearest Ribo singed before her very eyes.
Seeing that, that dragon broke the noose and went berserk. It sent its deadly scratch to him immediately, he just jumped it and yelled, 'Watch your manner, you inferior thing!' He hit its neck really hard.
The dragon looked as if it was crying in pain, as he kept hurting him mercilessly.
'Enough! Don't hurt it anymore! Please!' Laras begged that she dropped her tears. 'Have you ever thought about his feeling? He is also a living being like us! He also has a feeling like us!' She sobbed.
'Tsk, they are just nothing but stupid beings which only know how to eat and destroy things. They have no right to be treated well like us!'
'You are wrong! I-' Suddenly the dragon enters her body.
Laras was screaming in pain.
'I've fed up of all of your nonsenses! If you love dragons that much, then take it and let it destroy you from inside of your body as it tries to escape from your body!' He smirked enjoying watching Laras being tormented like that.
Later, those four men in white found Laras who was screaming in pain.
'Laras! What happened to you?!' One of them asked.
'Arrrgghh! Help me!!!' Laras screamed.
'Better be hurry or the dragon inside her body will keep violating her body till her body bursts out perfectly.' He warped and vanished in a jiffy.
Laras kept screaming in pain. She was thrashing as her body felt as if it was being torn apart by something big, sharp, and hot.
Meanwhile, inside her inner.
"I am sorry, I couldn't help you." She said upset.
"Laras, right? My parents asked me to guard you once I could take care of myself, but it looks like it won't happen. I'm sorry. I couldn't fight him. He is just too strong." It said.
"Don't tell me! Doraduo! Is that you?!"
"Yes, I am glad you know me."
"Glad to see that cute little dragon has become a great and mighty dragon like this. If only we have more time..."
They sighed.
"Hang on, I have a plan! Doraduo, I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?"
"I'll ask those sages to seal us by making me bear a child."
"No! That's too dangerous for you!" Doraduo tried to stop Laras.
"This is the only way to save you. It's better to save one of us than letting ourselves die, isn't it?"
"But, Laras..." Doraduo dropped tears from four of his eyes. (He is twin-headed, remember?)
Laras then hugged Doraduo while stroking him and wiping his tears.
"I know that it must be tough to part with your dearest one. You have lost your parents, siblings, friends, and now you have to lose me. I just want you to live so that you can fly free with my child."

Doraduo was still crying.
"Will you? Please."
Doraduo slowly nodded.
"Then, you'll be my child's Ribo. Please take care of him, educate him well, and love him. He will have a very tough life, but I am sure someday he will smile with you and his friends." (Wait, is it Naruto or something?!)
"Very well."
'Laras!' The one with a mustache and number 3 on his forehead came to her.
'Nyoman. Please seal this dragon with me.' Laras asked.
'But...'
'Please, I don't want this dragon to die with me. My child will replace me anyway. Don't worry, I know what I am saying.' She smiled at him.
'Stop joking around! I don't want you to-'
'Do you want me to die like this?'
'Tsk! Everyone! 4 gate formation!' Nyoman exclaimed.
The four sages were sitting in Lotus position around Laras who had been lying tied up by white Iru thread. Wayan was on her head, Made was on her left, Nyoman was on her right, and Ketut was on her feet. They four were enchanting a spell and the noose was getting fastened making Laras scream even louder. Then, Laras bore a boy with dragon tattoos on both of his arms and there was a compass pattern around his right eye.
The sages then let her go and gave her his baby. Laras then kissed her baby's forehead warmly.
'Vincent Arya Reksa Zaluntino.' Laras started to cry. 'I am sorry for leaving you so soon. Your life will be full of burdens, everyone will hate you, you'll be lonely, but don't ever blame them. One day, you will be able to smile with your dearest ones. Remember, you have to be strong. I'm very sorry. Please forgive me. I love you.' She kissed her baby's forehead again for the last time.
Laras body then entered that baby's body, and he started to cry. Suddenly a sheathed sword appeared beside him.
'What do we do?' Made asked.
Nyoman took the baby and the sword.
'Isn't it obvious? We'll take care of him. It's her last wish.' Nyoman said.
'I've got a vision that this boy will be one of the successors of that legendary army. We just need to train him well.' Wayan said snatching that sword from Nyoman's possession. 'I'll keep this sword, and I'll give it to him once he is ready to take his fate.' He added.
Meanwhile, in Vincent's body.
"Hey, Duo? Why don't you bestow this boy your power?"
"I won't acknowledge this boy. He is not Laras."
"But he is her son, isn't he? Those humans out there will hurt him anytime. What will happen if he dies?"
"Like I care. If he dies by something like that, he doesn't deserve posses my power."
"How persistence."
Ever since his birth, the boy had always been excommunicated by the villagers. They cursed him for something he had never done. They cursed him, insulted him, even tortured him mercilessly hoping he would die. They did those horrible things as they were afraid if they let him alive, he would cause even more terrible holocaust someday. Every time when he was cornered, Dora would take an aegis by possessing him in order to make them stop torturing him, but that's human for you, they intend to do things they think it's right while in the other hand, it's literally wrong. The boy was then told to stay in the sages' house to keep him away from the villagers. He was told to train his swordsmanship with a pandanus sword and a dagger.
10 years ago after his birth, Vincent was training himself in the garden.
'Hei Vincent!' Nyoman called him from the terrace.
Hearing that, Vincent sheathed his dagger and came to Nyoman.
'Sit down.' Nyoman told Vincent to sit next to him.
Nyoman opened the box he brought before. It's a birthday cake with "10" candle on it.
'Happy birthday, Vincent.' Nyoman smiled at him while lighting the candle. 'Come on, make a wish.'
'What is a wish?' Vincent asked
'Something you want to come true.' Nyoman explained.
'If I want the villagers to treat me well, will such a thing come true?' Vincent asked sadly. 'I don't understand why they hate me so much. Uncle Nyoman, what is my fault? What have I done to them that they hate me so muchAku?' Vincent started to cry.
'Are you sure you want to know the truth behind it?' Nyoman asked awkwardly.
'Please tell me, so I can do my best to make them forgive me.'
'I' afraid that it's unforgivable. Are you sure you still want to know about it?'
Vincent nods.
Nyoman then told him what had happened 10 years ago. Vincent looked so emotional by hearing it.
'So, that's why, isn't it?' Vincent asked.
'Vincent, please don't hate them. Don't let those hatred bother you.' Nyoman said.
'That's not it. Isn't it retarded? Blaming someone for something he has never done? Have they no a decency? No, I'm sure they don't have any nor brain.' Vincent said.
'I concur.' Nyoman replied. 'To be honest, I do love your mother very much that I asked the other sages to raise you here. You must be sad seeing them treating you like a stray dog, right? Remember Vincent. you still have your mother and me who love you very much.' He added handing over a sword to Vincent.
'This is...'
'Its the sword your mother left before she gave you her soul. I think you must have it. Your mother wants you to be stronger than her so you can protect this village, no but this world.' Nyoman said.
Vincent slowly unsheathed it. The thin, yet sharp blade with dragon carvings on both side amazed him.
'Your mother did all of this for all of us and we do thank her very much, yet most just can't take it that they make you a scapegoat.'
Vincent remained silent.
'Vincent, it's not your fault. You may upset as everyone hates you and nothing you can do to make them acknowledge your existence. It's their ego is the one who makes them like this.'
'Uncle Nyoman.' Vincent said.
'Yes?'
'Do you hate me?'
'No, I don't.'
'Then, I have nothing to worry anymore.' Vincent smiled. 'Maybe everyone and even this dragon in my body hate me, but at least, I have someone who loves me.' He sheathed his sword back and handed it over to Nyoman.
'Just keep it, I am sure your mother wants you to keep it, so you can continue your mother's duty.' Nyoman refused.
'Thank you, uncle.' Vincent hugged Nyoman while dripping his tears.
Nyoman hugged Vincent tightly.
After that, Nyoman gave Vincent a hellish training with Arz and the other swordsmen of the Stars' assistance that Vincent became one of them who was bestowed by the star of Dragon, who we know as Varz.
Varz is reaching Tanah Lot. He looks agitated as he is aware that the one he will confront is his own brother in arms.
"Franz... Why?" Varz is kinda can't take it.
"Brace yourself, Varz!" Duo exclaimed.
"Remember! He is the blue cloak! The one responsible for all of this madness!" Dora added.
'I know! It's just...'
'We are here!' Pinto exclaimed.
Pinto then warps Varz to Tanah Lot area. Varz finds himself on the coast. All he can see is lying bodies with bite marks on their napes. This holy land has become a deserted cemetery with nothing but bodies with no souls on it as the eyes can see.
'Finally, you've come!' A giant snake emerged from the sea.
The smirking Franz is seen standing on its head.
'Franz! You bastard!' Vincent gives him a fiery hatred gaze.
'Oh, are you mad? Do you want to kill me?? Vincent?'

Vincent soon found forty acres of land and quickly had his simple and robust dream home constructed. Disappointed in people, it was his avowed goal to be a hermit and shun the world. Too bad for his dreams that only a year after winning the lottery, all of humanity started seeing colored text messages before their very eyes, messages that warned of dire things to come.

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
