《True Ruler》Dragon flames!
Advertisement
???: "HEY"
I ignored the call and began heading to the gates until I heard another hey. First time I was way too deeply staring at the letter I was reading out loud and thinking how this probably could have harmed me but not kill me.
???: HEY!!!
I turned around to see who was calling out and was meet with no other but the guy who was supposed to have the speech instead of me.
Ohh great....
What does he want form me?
Me: Yes?
As soon as I turned around I was meet with a huge fireball. Needless to say that I dodged it thanks to my instincts as a dragon.
Me: WHAT THE?!!!
He came closer to me with red flame dancing around his open hand.
???: My name is Asmodeus Alice. I was supposed to be the one to make the speech! You scumbag stole my position because of your relationship with the principal!!!
Me: Aahm Alice-kun...
Alice: They say you are strong... Only the strongest and the fittest can survive here.
Wait wait wait!
What is this?
Survival of the fittest?!!!
Is he challenging me?
The moment he said that I could hear a huge crowd cheering and I was left speechless.
Me: Since when were there so many people here?
Alice: I called them here to take off your fake mask! Now before everyone's eyes prove that you are better than me! Show me what you got!
Just like that he began making a huge fire ball and threw it at me. I could have dodged it easily but I had enough. If he wanted to challenge a dragon then so be it!
All I did was stretch out my hand and absorb the flames that he threw at me. One could call this witchcraft and it probably will also be my defense if my grandpa asked me how I did that.

Alice: My flames... You think I am not worth a damn..
Me: No that is no-
Alice: and feel sorry for me, huh...
Me: Alice-kun liste-
Alice: HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME THAT MUCH!!!
The moment the flames were gone and I was standing there without even a single scratch, I could see his confusion and shock morph into pure anger. In the next moment he made a sword out of flames and began charging at me.
Alice: I'll slice you into pieces!!!
He came running towards me and all I did was simply get angry. If there was one thing we dragons didn't like then it was to be belittles or our dignity to be tarnished and he was stepping over my line of patience. I never attacked him until now and yet he is so persistent as to not even hear me out.
Enough is enough!
Me: You want to see some true flames?
I stretched my hand up to the sky and summoned my black and blue flames. The moment I did that they I could see his eyes go wild and him palling completely. I then closed my hands and touched the ground. My flames immediately came out like a huge serpent ready to attack its prey only to vanish in front of his face leaving him speechless. However these flames were not everything. I put my dragon essence into them so that if he was to look the snake into its eyes he would see a dragon and learn true fear.
Were my flames always black?
Huh...
I can't remember them ever being black...
Welp.. probably something to do with the demon realm.
The moment the flame vanished he stood there for a minute before falling to the ground unconscious.
Me: My my... was this too hot for him?
All the crowd did was only cheer for my victory. I however couldn't stop but feel guilty for making him pass out just like that. Seeing as it was my fault, I went ahead and picked him up in order to have a couple of students tell me where the infirmary is. Naturally I put him there and immediately went for the principal's office since it was close by.

Me: Grandpa...
Sullivan: Ohh what a great show this was!
Me: No it was not!
Sullivan: Oh yes it was!
Me: HOW WAS THIS GREAT?!
Sullivan: For example the display of your black and blue dragon flames that only royal dragons can summon.
Did he just say dragon?
I misheard him right...
Me: hahaha dragons don't exists.
Sullivan: Unfortunately they don't anymore. You are the last one and from the royal bloodline by the looks of it.
Me: What funny drink did you had today?
Sullivan: There is no denying it Iruma-kun.
Me:...
Sullivan: Don't worry. I won't do anything to you. In contrary you are my grandson and I will protect you. However I want you to know that there is no need to hide your dragon origin.
Me: How did you know?
Sullivan: I had a feeling that you were different the moment I meet you. The display of those black and blue flames only made it clear to me that you were no human.
Me: Will you abandon me now? I can understand it if you will send me back.
Sullivan: I won't do such a thing to my precious grandson.
Me: Huh...
Sullivan: I don't care what you are. You have a splendid character and I went to such length to get you because of it.
Me: I see...
Sullivan: Now then. I won't tell anyone about your little secret unless you want me too.
Me: I would appreciate it if you don't do that. Also do you know what happened to the dragons here? All the dragons on earth were hunted down because of their well qualities and essence for humans.
Sullivan: Unfortunately I don't know it for sure. They say that our ancestors went to a different world in order to establish another great culture.
Me: So they went to earth and met the humans...
Sullivan: That seems to be the case.
This was when the door to the room was slammed open and Alice-kun came in.
Me: To- Alice-kun!
He ignored me and walked over to me before he stopped and bowed to me.
Alice: Just Alice
Me: Okay. Ahm Alice.. Please stop bowing.
Alice: I was a fool to have challenged you just like that. On top of it I heard that it was you who took me to the infirmary.
Me: It was only natural to help you after I made you faint.
Alice: According to demon law, the loser belongs to the winner!
Me: Alice, there is absolutely no nee-
Alice: I submit myself to you, Iruma-sama. Together we will rule the school! Let's make them all kneel and bend their will under our command!
Me: .... Please don't say that!
Alice: Who will be our first target?
Sullivan: What a nice ally you gained.
Me: Grandpa! Not you too!
Sullivan: Oh I will be looking forwards to see how you will be concerning my school!
Alice: There is nothing that can stop us!
Me: Cut it out! I just want a peaceful life!
Alice: I would be happy to burn every single piece of garbage coming our way that will come into the way of our new peaceful life!
Me: What did I get myself into....

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
