Ranking System

The party was at its climax. Everyone here was here to chill. The event of our competition was over.

"Charles, you're fortunate. Did you know that blood that you hate so much? The dragon heart would change some of its properties, making you less blood-related to your family."

Linsey had said once I had picked my prize. This was news to me, a piece of good news indeed. I wanted to have nothing to do with my "parents." Even these blood of mine.

"You'll be staying with Agnus for a few days. So once the party is over, I will be taking Jasmine and Nene with me."

"Does implanting a dragon heart take that long?"

"Not only would it be a tough ordeal, but you would have to adjust your body once it's done."

"We can't have you destroying everything, could we?"

Would I gain that much stronger for having a dragon heart? Not all dragons are the same. While they're superior in terms of power over people of the same rank, not all dragons are at the top.

"Anyways, enjoy the party. There was someone I got to talk to."

Linsey then left and walked away. Nene was with Jasmine doing some things of their own. I'm now alone at the party.

Walking around, I could see Claire alone. Once she saw me, she blushed furiously. I don't think she will get over what Nene did anytime soon.

"I'm sorry for what Nene did. I may not be able to do much, but I hope you don't hold a grudge against her."

"..."

Claire didn't say anything for a while, thinking about what I said. She was nervous but began to speak.

"Then do me this one thing!"

She took the courage to speak. Another favor... Claire looked shaky but determined to ask what she wanted. Claire then closed in and whispered it to my ears.

"Could you touch my breast?"

"..."

With Nene's lewd messaging, Claire got groped all over the place. Did she get horny from Nene's touch?

"Are you serious?"

I wanted to confirm what she said was true. Claire didn't say anything but nodded her head vigorously. I sighed and did what she wanted. Claire's body was much more well-indulged than Nene's.

"Aah~!"

Claire's moans had attracted some attention from a few people. The people stared at me, knowing who I was.

"Doesn't he already have a lover? I didn't think he would be a playboy with that facial."

"Do you think he would accept me? I don't mind someone like him."

"I'm so jealous!!!"

"..."

Hearing these conversations about me didn't do wonders. But I ignored them quickly and looked at Claire. She was too embarrassed and ran away.

"I thank you all for attending today's annual party! The party is now over, but there will be one next year! I will see you all in a year! Goodbye!!!"

The party was now over, and everyone was beginning to leave. Before the three girls left, I went up to them.

"Master! Are you really staying!!!"

Nene looked like her world was going to end with me leaving her. I patted her head and kissed her on the lips.

"I'll be back in a few days. You could mess with Reina if you're lonely."

Sorry, Reina, but not really. You messed with me enough. This is one of my pay back.

"I will! Goodbye, Master..."

"Charles, good luck! Hope you sleep well during the surgery."

With that, Linsey and her group left. I was now left alone with Agnus. After doing a quick cleaning of the room, Agnus got back to me.

"Let's leave. We have much to do."

I followed Agnus without any question. I don't know much about him, so it was better for me to be cautious.

Knowing Linsey, I would say that all strong people are weirdos in their own right. Who knows what weird habits Agnus has?

"You don't need to be cautious of me. I'm much tamer than Amanda and Linsey."

Agnus had felt my cautiousness. It was only natural for anyone to do, but him saying so doesn't make it better.

"Do you know the different types of dragons?"

"I know the basic information about them."

Any information that didn't earn me some cash wasn't something I had in mind. Dragons are cool, but would they earn me money with my previous life?

"I see... Then let me tell you for future reference."

"Dragons are always born with an attribute. Once they're born, their power will influence their entire being for the rest of their lives."

"I have the attribute of water. That means I'm a water dragon. I prefer it when everyone gets along."

"So, if you think I have bad intentions, you may think how you like. I'm just telling you that I won't harm you intentionally."

Yes. Intentionally. That was something I liked to hear. Anyways, Agnus kept talking while I was listening. It didn't take long before Agnus set up a teleporter.

"Welcome to the world called Fabled."

We then entered the world known as Fabled. Having to come in, I felt my body growing heavier. Shit, the gravity of this place was at least five times stronger than Earth.

"Looks like you aren't used to this gravity. It may be rough, but I would like you to get used to it before I start the surgery."

"You may be strong in your world, but here, you're nothing but an insect that anyone could squash."

"The dragon heart you picked is a fifth-rank dragon with a curse attribute. You won't survive the surgery with your current strength."

"The reason why we're here is so I could train you. Don't think too bad of me, but it's a waste not to use your talent."

"I'll let you get settled in. Take any bed in the house. I'll see you first thing tomorrow."

My body was heavy. Just trying to listen to Agnus made it hard. Before losing my stamina, I went to the nearest room where I could see.
