I used to be a red dragon. I was nominated by the Creator to run a dungeon in the kingdom of the Beast Man.
It was a dungeon dedicated to the brave, to raise the brave. So usually the adventurers never came, and I was pretty free.
Approximately a hundred years ago now, a brave man finally arrived in my dungeon, where no one had come for a long time.
At that time, I remember tension rising above this.
Because I thought of a thousand candidates for the dialogue that I wanted to tell the brave men who had reached the final level.
The brave man who challenged my dungeon was a pair.
A brave man of a tribe who has probably moved from another world, and a woman of half an elf.
I guess the woman was an escort to the brave.
I remember a woman had better sword muscles.
The brave ones are stronger, but there are occasional dangerous occasions, which were successfully supported by a half-elf woman.
Pretty good pair, I think.
And they came to the final level where I waited.
I was a little satisfied to be able to tell the brave men who stood before me the dialogue I had been thinking about for a hundred years.
Now, do you want me to deal with them appropriately?
I knew they still didn't have enough power to take me down because I watched the brave men's trends in the crystal that manages the dungeon.
When the battle with the braves began, they worked well together to avoid my attacks, but they still didn't have enough attack power to make me scratch them.
No matter what you scratch, it's impossible to take me down.
Just give up and come back out.
That's what I thought.
Suddenly the woman lay her sword and moved behind the brave man.
At the next moment, my survival instincts screamed for me to escape the scene now.
That was my first feeling in my life.
Fear - Born in the strongest dragon, I was the first one to feel alive without being threatened with my life.
I still remember the words the brave man unleashed against me in dismay.
"Sorry, let me cheat you a little." - That's what the brave man said.
I'm sure the brave fights me without being serious until then.
But when he realized he couldn't beat me as he was, he used cheat skills specific to brave men from different worlds.
I lost.
I couldn't get my hands or feet out.
I couldn't even capture in my sight the figure of a brave man traveling at an unlikely speed, and when I realized it, I was getting bummed out.
Without any mercy as it was, the brave man stabbed me with a stop.
When he was about to get knocked down, he thought about all the dialogue he wanted to tell the brave man, and he wouldn't let me tell him anything.
My last words were, "Hey, Ma..."
Damn. Too dassa.
I'm dead.
I should be dead, but I woke up.
There was a god of creation in front of me, and he told me he was going to make me his next dragon god.
The Creator gave me a new life.
It's a little different that you've been given life.
I became a god.
I became unrelated to living and dying.
It's just that if you have too little faith in me, sometimes your existence disappears.
Nevertheless, God cannot directly serve the humans and demons of this world. So I created The Dragon Witch System.
The dragon woman I nominated - the dragon witch - was given my protection and strength to heal the dragon and dragon injuries.
When the Dragons thank her, the feeling feeds me, as a faith in me.
I imitated the 'Virgin' of the Creating God a little bit.
It's a well-built system.
It's not like you got a puke, is it?
It's homage.
As a god, I'm young, but I was proud to say I was doing pretty well.
The White Dragon and the Dragon Witch called me that.
I used to play with white dragons.
In fact, before I became a god, I had fought with the White Dragon several times, but the young White Dragon was stronger.
I was a little sorry.
But now that I'm a dragon god, I won't lose to a white dragon! ─ I think.
Me... you can win, right?
The dragon witch nowadays, she works well for me.
Even recently, a great deal of faith jumped into me.
The nostalgic white dragon and the dragon witch who delivered faith to me were calling, so I decided to manifest myself and do it.
From the two facing each other, I smelled the soul of the (...) brave (...) person (...) of (...). It is slight, but I also smell half an elf.
Since I was a dragon, I could smell the human soul.
"You smell like the soul of a brave man I lost a long time ago."
Though I thought that couldn't possibly be the case, I missed it and stuck out in my voice.
"Your uncle lost? That 's--"
"Maybe you mean the brave man of guardianship?
"That's right. But that's what they called him."
After becoming a god, I learned that the man who defeated me was called the brave man of guardianship.
Guardian braves seem to double their stats when there is someone to protect behind them.
Assuming the brave man was level 100 at the time, that the status of the brave man had risen to the equivalent of level 200 with the woman in the half elf laying her sword and moving behind the brave man.
That's cheesy!!
That's why I couldn't help losing.
Well, if it's me now that I'm a god, there's no way I'm gonna lose to him.
Once upon a time, when I was trying to justify what I had lost, outrageous information popped out of White Dragon's mouth.
"The brave man of his guardianship was actually reincarnated."
"─ What?
Hey, what?
What's this all about?
"Oh, is that a fact?
"Yes. It's a fact. I think the smell of the brave soul of the guardian that the Dragon God felt belongs to him (...)"
The dragon witch answered me.
The dragon witch shouldn't lie to me.
Guardian brave reincarnated?
What, seriously!?
And that means...
"Give him a chance to get revenge!!"
"What, oh, um... dragon god?
"Ha ha, brave guardian. Let's make him regret it was a failure to come back to this world."
What, I'm not going to kill you.
Hey, I'm gonna pay you back for the old days.
It's revenge for not letting me tell you the dialogue I've been thinking about.
God can't get his hands on humans directly, but that's a decision in the human world.
All you have to do is bring the Guardian Brave into the divine realm and apply for a fight there. Anyone who beats me should be alarmed.
All you have to do is fight for a reason...
Somehow, I need to find a reason for the brave to want to fight me.
Well, should I think about that after I see him?
Because I, who became God, have something that I can present as a reward for winning, like a mountain.
Of course, I'm not willing to lose at all.
Say the (...) table (...) word (...) you once couldn't say to the guy who kneels before me!!
It's been a long time since I've seen Red Dragon.
Its body was so full of power that it could not be compared to before thanks to its becoming God.
I grabbed the dragon witch and the humanizing white dragon and jumped up.
She seems surprised by my sudden behavior, but both the witch and the white dragon make a big deal out of my hands without breaking out.
If we follow the smell stained by these two, we should be able to get to the brave.
Ha ha, wait, brave man.
I'm coming!
Let me clear my centuries-old grudge!!
