I'm sorry but I HAVE to record this in here.
Ps. this is a VERY long one compared to the stuff I posted.
-------------------------------------------------------
A remarkably beautiful humanoid, whose gender was indecipherable, stood there. Its hair shone in a bright reddish colour; I couldn’t sense any powerful Status from it, but still, its outer appearance did possess a certain, unexplainable mystical aura.
“I asked you why you haven’t participated yet.”
“I’m not sure what you mean, but I lack the qualification to do so.”
“Why not? Do you not possess the heart of a Dragon?”
Only then did I finally realise it.
[Fable fragment, ‘A Young Gold Dragon’s Broken Heart’, is stirring!]
Now that I thought about it, my heart actually used to belong to a Gold Dragon, a fragment of a Fable I absorbed back in the ‘Story Horizon’ a long time ago.
[Fable fragment, ‘A Young Gold Dragon’s Broken Heart’, wants to participate in the Dragon’s Festival.]
I was wondering why my heart was pounding away so madly since earlier…. Was that the reason why?
The Reincarnator continued on. “‘Good and Evil’, communicating, the cycle of life…. Inside the great themes of the <Star Stream>, Dragons have continuously been exploited. If you’re truly a Dragon, then you must enter the Festival. Become the Final Dragon that will bring the Revelation to reality and contribute towards the annihilation of the world. And witness the end of the scenarios that have stolen your identity, your existence.”
I pondered for a little while before replying. “Not every story of the scenarios is interconnected by a series of misfortunes. Some things were discovered only because scenarios exist. You might not have been aware of it by staying in the Isle of Reincarnators, but without a doubt, scenarios are changing.”
I hated myself for saying those words, but still, I was being genuine with at least half of them.
I could see Yu Jung-Hyeok and my allies rendezvousing with other Constellations.
The mysterious Reincarnator watched the same scenes as me before replying. “Changing? How did the scenarios change, then? Can Dragons or monsters become the protagonists of the Fables now?”
"There are Fables like that already.”
“However, they must be quite unpopular.”
“Some are rather popular, actually. Some are even from the past, too. I’m sure you’ve heard of them before? Such as, in ⸢The Song of the Nibelungs⸥, or ⸢The Legend of Saint George⸥…..”
“Dragons were never the protagonists in those stories.”
Several Dragons in the air lost their way and crashed into one another before falling back to the earth.
The Reincarnator continued on. “Dragons were always hunted beings. Referred to as the origin of all evil, and portrayed as nothing more than pathetic villains who kidnap human princesses or hoard mountains of gold. When you think about it, it’s a rather funny story, isn’t it? Why would a Dragon be interested in gold or females of other species?”
“Those aren’t the only stories out there. There are a lot of scenarios where Dragons come out to the human world to have fun, as well. For instance….”
"Dragons that ‘polymorph into beautiful humans’. Do you really think they are pure Dragons, then?”
I found myself unable to reply.
The Reincarnator spoke. “Tens of thousands of years ago, Dragons were being exploited in the exact same manner. In the end, every single scenario was meant for other species, for other Constellations.”
As it continued to talk, I sensed an ominous Status leak out more and more from its voice.
“Not one scenario has treated a Dragon as a Dragon. Dragons were always exploited, were chained to restrictions, and were seen as the scenario’s target of subjugation. Probably, nothing has changed greatly even now.
It was getting harder and harder to breathe. The surrounding air was shifting unstably.
The Status capable of tying a Fable-grade Constellation like me to the spot – the Abyssal Black Flame Dragon, roaring towards the sky until then, hurriedly began flying in my direction.
I stared at the Black Flame Dragon and spoke up. “I’ll change it.”
