Dragon Rider (4) – The Crazy One
“Crazy bastard…”
“You’re gonna drop your pants right here?”
“The size is something I could never have imagined.”
The lone men looked as if their pride had been completely shattered. It was an unpleasant gaze, yet a strange sense of satisfaction surged inside them. Just as a millionaire would die if he tried to grow a watermelon, this one body part alone was worth its weight in gold. Since it filled their ego, even a billion won wouldn’t have felt like too much.
Let’s live in gratitude toward our parents. That’s all I can do.
Wang Gohan exclaimed in surprise, eyes darting straight to my crotch and sliding past it.
“…”
“You’re awfully full of yourself.”
Even though I hadn’t even started, my cock already stood tall and thick. It carried the same imposing presence as the ancient black-iron snake, the kind that made people feel small just by looking. I crossed my arms with total nonchalance and said,
“If you want to defeat me, bring me a black person.”
“No need to bring anyone. You’re going to die right here today.”
Wang Gohan, who had been playful just moments ago, opened his hands and walked toward me. The moment I dropped my pants, he shot me a serious glare. A loser who had been boasting so confidently just got humiliated by my brother and looked utterly pathetic. The air around him crackled with killing intent.
Just from controlling the 2nd-floor shop, he must be one of the strongest players on this floor.
Shit…
Wang Gohan had revealed his true colors. He was someone I couldn’t easily suppress, not even through Elena. I had been under the delusion that I could handle him easily. I had even planned to test him by rubbing my crotch against his to see how far I could push growth.
Now I’m about to die and regress for real.
That was when it happened.
“Dragon…?”
The men muttered, looking up at the sky.
One of them pointed toward the heavens and shouted,
“A dragon is flying over here!”
Wang Gohan’s gaze turned toward the far horizon. A snow-white dragon flapped its wings as it flew straight toward us.
“It’s coming this way.”
“Why?”
“It’s really coming this way! Heavenly Demon-nim, run away!”
“Shut up.”
Wang Gohan’s dignified voice silenced the panicking men. Even his own face was tense, as if he were pretending in front of his subordinates.
Flutter—
The white dragon, Airi, landed right in front of the shop. The ground shook violently as the massive dragon settled.
“What the hell is this…”
Before Wang Gohan could finish, Airi spoke.
— Dahui wants me to bring you.
“What?”
Wang Gohan was the one in the back. Airi’s head was now staring down at me. She snorted.
“Ugh.”
Airi aimed a puff of hot breath at me. It was like being blasted by wind while standing in front of an air conditioner right after a shower.
— Because I’ve finished, Dahui told me to bring you.
Airi folded her wings and lowered her head, as if ordering me to board. With that reptile-like face, I still couldn’t read her emotions properly. I hated it with every fiber of my being.
— Pants up. My genitals could cause you to vomit just from touching them.
“So… dragon breath?”
— What?
“Nothing.”
I removed my mask and pulled my pants back up. Then I climbed onto Airi’s back like scaling a cliff.
Some of the foolish men were watching us from a distance.
Flutter!
“Take care, you idiots! Next time I’ll kill all of you!”
I shouted down to the men as Airi took off. They stood there without saying a word, staring at me.
Cold… shit.
The body of the white dragon was incredibly cold, and the wind at high altitude was even worse. I barely managed to hold back the feeling that I was about to freeze to death before returning to the thatched-roof house.
The villagers of the village where (Old) Borte had lived were all huddled together. Their necks were bent so far upward that I worried they might break. In front of the thatched-roof house stood Yoo Dahui.
Yoo Dahui grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward her.
“Let’s talk for a second.”
A new ring was already on her finger.
It looked like an ordinary silver band.
…What the hell is this?
I followed her wherever she dragged me. Elena and Airi, who had reverted to human form, were staring at us with sharp eyes.
Why are they looking at us like that?
Strange emotions swirled between us, making the atmosphere feel off. They looked like they were planning something.
“That woman… she wouldn’t…”
“If it gets out, you’ll end up just like Borte.”
“But the woman is the leader. She might be kinder. She probably won’t make us hand over a woman…”
“Someone’s staring at us. Shh. Let’s go inside.”
The village players, just like sneaky mice hiding behind walls, hurriedly slipped into the house.
We walked a little further until we could hear the sound of waves. Under the warm sunlight on the sandy beach, the atmosphere felt just right for an honest conversation.
Yoo Dahui, who had been holding my wrist, secretly took my hand.
“Where did you go?”
“I went to that shop over there. I spent some time there.”
“You went alone? It must have been dangerous.”
“If I die, I just regress. It’ll hurt a little, but nothing more.”
The sound of waves filled the pauses between our words. Walking slowly felt like I was on a vacation.
“It feels like a trip, right?”
“Yeah.”
Yoo Dahui thought the same. We chatted while kicking at the sand. It was pointless small talk, but my heart felt strangely light today.
Yoo Dahui asked,
“Was Elena’s ass good?”
The sudden question made my legs go weak.
I slipped up.
Just because I allowed part of the harem didn’t mean I had to change. I was only being patient. I was sharing my partner with someone else. No one in their right mind would enjoy that.
Except for weird perverts.
While the world had countless fetishes, I simply couldn’t understand netorare or netorase.
Yoo Dahui forced an answer out of me.
“It was good, right?”
“No. Not at all.”
“You’re lying. How could it not have been good? You were super excited since it was your first time, weren’t you?”
“It wasn’t good.”
Yoo Dahui started squeezing my hand tightly.
“Ah, my hand hurts. It hurts.”
“Hurts? You’re saying it hurts?”
“Sob… ah, it doesn’t hurt. It, it doesn’t hurt…!”
Yoo Dahui’s grip was far beyond what my strength could resist. I had no idea how much my stats had grown or what my current level was. I didn’t even know.
…If we fought, I’d lose, right?
That was the truth. I had no chance of winning against her, even in the day or at night.
…I’ll go visit Teacher Wang Gohan once.
Yoo Dahui released her hold. Because she might attack at any moment, I tensed up.
“I’m sorry about Elena and Airi.”
“Why?”
“I could let them go if I wanted, but I’m holding them back. I’m trying to clear faster.”
Is that so?
Yoo Dahui stared at me intently.
“What? You didn’t mean that?”
I shook my head vigorously, pouring all my true feelings into the gesture.
Whether she understood or not, Yoo Dahui turned away and walked along the beach, kicking sand with every step.
“I was being very generous. I was being kind to you.”
“I know, I know. You’ve suffered a lot too. Meeting a dumb guy like me.”
“…”
“No. We’re just like us. Or something. Sometimes even I feel pathetic about myself.”
Feeling like his own words were ridiculous, Yoo Dahui giggled and said,
“So, you should try the first time with me first. Starting now.”
The setting sun, hitting Yoo Dahui, broke into a beautiful rainbow. As she brushed her hair in the wind, the smile she wore was prettier than anyone else’s. The Mana Oath glowed brightly between us.
Yoo Dahui rummaged through her inventory and pulled out something.
After the male chastity cage, Yoo Dahui’s inventory had become terrifying.
“Here, your gift.”
“…”
“A ring?”
She held up one ring in her hand. Of course. Nothing could be worse than a male chastity cage.
“You made me swear the Mana Oath, so I had to give you something back. Besides, our ring was missing too.”
Yoo Dahui took my hand and slid the ring onto my finger. It fit perfectly, as if she had measured my finger for it.
Yoo Dahui had already been wearing one.
“Not bad, right?”
“No… I like it.”
The ring sitting on my finger felt ordinary, yet more precious than any other ring in the world.
“When I regress, everything will disappear…”
“Hmm… yeah. Everything will disappear on regression. This ring too, and our child inside.”
“You’re really pregnant?”
“I don’t know. But if you’re not a seedless watermelon, I’m sure you’re pregnant, right? I’m a really dangerous woman.”
Yoo Dahui said it with utter calm. No one in their right mind would panic over a sperm and an egg, even if they were the only two cells.
I suggested to her,
“Maybe I should just regress then?”
“Eh?”
“It would be better to check first whether the starting point resets or not. That way we can have the child and all.”
“…”
“Eh?”
Surprised by my words, Yoo Dahui looked at me with wide eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No…”
“If I get pregnant right before resetting the starting point, the pregnancy won’t change. So we should check beforehand whether the starting point resets each floor. It’ll be easier later.”
“You really want a baby? You’re kidding, right?”
“…”
“I’m not kidding.”
Truthfully, I didn’t want one. Even if I gave birth to my child in the Tower of Struggle or if Yoo Dahui cleared while pregnant, my story probably wouldn’t have a happy ending. But to regress right now, I would have to sell my nonexistent children.
Jinhee, Jinhyuk… ugh… Dad’s sorry.
Yoo Dahui smiled brightly and said,
“Great! Then I’ll regress.”
“Wait.”
“Why? Do you have something to do?”
“Let’s stop by the thatched-roof house one last time. I have one more thing to ask Airi.”
We returned to the thatched-roof house. During the regression, Yoo Dahui’s face had been full of smiles.
“Airi!”
I called for her. Airi, who had been inside, slowly walked out.
Because of the tight white dress that clung to her, her curvaceous figure was clearly visible.
“Why did you call? Did you want me to follow your orders? You chose well.”
“That’s not it.”
Elena and Airi were both doing something similar to regression. I needed to figure out how it worked. So I would give them a request, not a request, but an order.
“Take care of Wang Gohan’s group. Capture Wang Gohan separately.”
“Wang Gohan? The humans sitting around dead in the shop?”
Airi knew about Wang Gohan’s group. But she showed her displeasure with a pout.
“Why me? Why should I listen to you?”
“If you obey, I might even give you the Mana Oath next time.”
“R-really? Awesome! I’ll wipe out Wang Gohan’s group right now!”
I barely stopped Airi from transforming into a dragon.
“Later. Starting tomorrow. Go now. Ah, and call Elena.”
“Why me?”
I waved her away, chasing her out. There was nothing left to see here.
“Haa, what a joke.”
Airi shot me a glare and went back inside the house.
Finally, Elena came outside.
“Kim Jinwu, why did you call?”
“I have something to say.”
“…”
“What is it?”
“Um… um…”
What could I say? After much thought, I placed my hand on Elena’s chest.
Yoo Dahui said,
“Kim Jinwu, what are you doing?”
“I figured I needed to do this much for you to react.”
Tear—!
I ripped Elena’s shirt open with force. The thin fabric couldn’t withstand my strength and tore apart. Her fair skin was revealed, and her plump breasts bounced.
“W-what are you doing?! In public like this, you trash…!”
Elena flapped her ears red and screamed, “Kyaa!”
I looked at Yoo Dahui and said,
“Dahui, let’s go back.”
“You’re checking if this memory is still around, huh?”
“That’s right.”
Elena covered her breasts with both arms and shouted something at us. Turning away from that Elena, we regressed.
[‘Return by Death’ has been activated.]
Elena’s ears, which had been staring blankly into the void, suddenly twitched.
Clang—
Clang—
Even with armor on, she approached me at an incredibly fast speed.
“…”
“U-ugh! Y-youu!”
