《The Man Ruined by The Gods》Chapter 11: A Dragon? Let me give it a go!
Advertisement
Today the group of elves, a demon and dhampir with their pets were as usual, traveling through the depths of the dark forest. Their aim? The end of the forest where the could start anew and grow stronger.
(But I do think that these elves would be adamant on wanting to start kingdom building)
Just as these thoughts crossed Xenados’ mind, “Kaylin! Do you think that with that lousy sword of your you’ll be able to protect our future king?!” a dark elf shouted furiously at another dark elf who fell to the ground panting.
The dark elf Kaylin is good at magic but her swordsmanship is not up to par with even a child. Her body is weak and she would usually rest on Kuma or Kuro but now she is able to at least walk for more than an hour before collapsing.
“Big sis Eli~ I am not really good at these sort of physical activities~ I’m fragile lady who is destined to become a mage~”
“Is that so? I guess I’ll ask the Lord if he doesn’t mind having a fatty by his side”
Hearing the words of the dark elf Eliana, Kaylin wept silently as she forced herself to stand up and continue swinging her sword.
This happened after the dark elves all decided to follow Xenados. After that event Kaylin was left to watch beside Xenados, watching the training of her fellow dark elves. Kaylin didn’t mind it as she had magic, though Xenados is better than her having more mages is better especially in this world of swords and magic.
But the reason Kayling decided to start training her body and swordsmanship is due to the words that Xenados said as a joke.
“Big sis Kaylin, I heard from Kuma and Kuro that you’ve gained weight!”
After those words were uttered not sparing a second the dark elf dashed towards her big sister Eliana and asked for a way to lose weight, and after a long while of discussing with each other the current scene became a norm for everyone in the group.
“I hope that Kaylin doesn’t overexert herself...”
“Don’t worry Lord we Dark Elves are sturdy especially the women, so that’s why even if...”
“What do you think you’re saying to a three year old child!”
The one who got mad is Antonia and the dark elf who said those words full of hidden meanings is, Ytha Krariulvin.
(This one again… how many times has it been since we started moving as a group?)
While thinking of this Xenados looked at the dark elf getting scolded by his mother. A short stature like that of a 12 year old girl.

(She may look cute like a 12 year old but to think that mixing the blood of an elf and a dwarf would have such an effect...)
These are the only things that come to his mind after the first question popped up. After all the dark elf has a small stature and a young fresh face. If one didn’t know that she’s a half breed even the gods would have thought of her as a young girl.
(The blood of a dwarf made her take the small stature of her father but the blood of an elf made her keep the beautiful and young appearance of a child. Turning her into the perfect… Legal Loli)
(A twenty plus year old woman who looks like a twelve year old and a virgin at that…)
Xenados doesn’t want to think much anymore, How did he find out about her still being a virgin?
“Hey hey! Kid Do you know what a virgin is?”
This words were the first step of Xenados into the world of the adults though that should have been the case. Having the soul that has been through countless lives he didn’t even make a mistake in blushing or whatnot.
In fact Xenados was able to perfectly act like an innocent child as he listened to the talks of the Legal Loli.
“And of course I am one of the legendary, pure Virgins that a lot of men DESIRE, so-puh”
She put emphasis on the word desire, as she was about to reveal her true intentions a huge hand landed on her head knocking her out. The hand was in the form of a chop and came from Antonia.
From that day onward Antonia would be vigilant of Ytha as she would always be there to save her son from the dangerous woman.
In fact even the Xenados felt a chill down his spine as he thought about what could have been if he didn’t have magic or was cursed to instead have no mana but thinking about this.
(Is this perhaps the tragedy that I am facing? The tragedy of meeting and attracting dangerous women! No… that can’t be right? I mean VIncentius is an asshole but he can’t do something like that… right?)
Xenados is yet to understand that the curse of tragedy that he has been afflicted with has more than just dangerous women vying for him.
(I attracting such dangerous women is the effect of this “tragedy” looking for a way to dispel it is top priority)
Little did he know by the time that he removed the curse, it would already be too late and the damage has already been dealt, but that is a story for another time.

As Xenados was thinking of the curse and all the woman around him a roar resounded in the forest.
[Graoooo!]
(((Kaw, kaw, kaw)))
Following the furious roar and the sound of birds flying towards the sky is a huge explosion. The wind it blew up caused leaves from trees to fly up. The dark elves instinctively stabbed their swords towards the earth and the three beast moved instantly to block the force from assaulting their master, his mother and the dark elf who’s currently getting scolded by Antonia.
After the force of subsided what was left of their campside are scattered logs and their things that flew and got caught on the trees.
Leaves that were blown up was scattered with their stuff making their camp look like it was struck by a typhoon.
“Lord are you alright!”
The dark elves who stabbed their swords at the earth pulled the swords out and dashed towards Xenados who was covered in leaves. He escaped the large debris and the powerful force because of the large beast but he failed to escape the onslaught of leaves that were blown by the wind.
After the leaves were blown they would dance in the air and there being a gap in the path the leaves all flew towards Xenados and his mother who were both hiding in the spot protected by the large beast.(I don’t know if this is right but just for novel purposes let’s put it as it works
)
“I’m fine, I’m fine but to think some beast would be able to let out a roar that powerful and cause such a powerful explosion...”
Xenados looked all over, seeing the various shrubs uprooted and some trees as well which flew due to the force, the total devastation that the explosion caused is not something to be trifled with but the words that came out of the child's mouth shocked everyone.
“Let’s go take a look!”
Everyone was shocked but the one most shocked is Antonia, “What are you planning to do? Make a contract with a beast who could cause this much destruction?”. Her words caused the elves to panic and beg their “Lord” stop his foolishness.
“Contract? What do you mean contract? Of course I will beat it down and slaw whatever monster caused this much devastation. Also to be frank I don’t like beast that are already powerful at the start, grooming a beast to become powerful by making it slowly power up and evolve is a greater source of joy and accomplishment than contracting a powerful monster!”
The next words he said even caused some elves to faint, what was he thinking? Defeat? He could barely draw a sword and yet he plans on fighting a beast no slaying one? And something that could already be classified as a natural disaster?
Even Antonia couldn’t help but reprimand him but the shine in her son’s eyes perfectly say, “I want to go!”. Antonia didn’t know since when it happened but when she see’s her son’s expression to be like that she instinctively feels that it’s better to let him do what he wants.
She wants to stop him but there’s some sort of persuasiveness in her son’s face, she wants to speak up again but the words got stuck in her throat. She could only look at her son and sigh as the three beast as well as the elves headed towards the direction of the source of the explosion.
Arriving at the site the group was flabbergasted at the sight that awaited them.
Standing tall with a height of at least 20 feet and a length of 30 feet what was in front of them is a huge… dragon. Having huge wings that could cover its whole body, muscular limbs that could crush the hardest metal in the world. Fangs that could break the toughest holy sword and a huge amount of mana that it could use to spit fire. It’s scales were jet black and it’s eyes were tinted red showing that it’s not in a normal state.
“A dragon, no not only that it’s even in a berserk state”
(A dragon, with that much power how much exp could it give me? This world may not have the concept of exp but my system makes it so that the power of those I slay will be absorbed by my soul. I don’t know if others do the same but this is the only way that I was able to finish my mission by that asshole god, anyways there is only one line that is perfect for this scenario! A dragon suddenly appears in front of a group of people of course running away would turn me into a useless NPC used for the experience of a her but theres only one way for me to become a powerful individual! And this dragon would be my first step!)
Taking a deep breath Xenados looked at the dragon and for some reason the dragon similarly looked at him, they had eye contact and at this moment.
“A dragon? Let me have a go at it!”

And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
