I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Their hearts beat fast. Not until a few seconds later they were able to catch their breath.

The eyes of the three adventurers opened wide and stared blankly.

"What was that?" Hund murmured.

"We," Esther paused to swallow her saliva. "Just ride a Dragon."

"Not exactly. We have been carried by a Dragon," Hund said. As if trying to correct her words.

"Yeah, you're right," Jan said. Then he sighed.

Among the three of them, Jan was the quickest to control himself. It's between the three of them. But it was actually Annette who was the quickest to escape the shock.

Unlike her three friends, Annette wore a sad face.

"What is it?" Jan asked when he saw Annette's face.

"He's just gone again," Annette said sadly.

Jan sighed. "He must have important business. He's done more than enough, after all."

Annette was silent for a moment. Then she said something that made Hund and Esther who were still kneeling on the ground stiffen up.

"Do I have to get us in big trouble again so he can come?" Annette said while looking at the three of them.

Jan, Esther, and Hund's faces immediately changed. They looked at Annette as if she had turned into a monster with horns and fangs.

"Are you crazy?!" Esther ran to Annette and then smack her head.

*PLAKKK!*

"Oww..."

Annette moaned as she held her head. Then she put on a pitiful expression. "I was just kidding you know."

"Whatever," Jan said. He looked north. Cold air began to come blowing towards them. A sign that they were indeed getting closer to the northern mountains.

"We'd better get going. I'm feeling pretty tired," Jan said as he started walking. Hund followed behind him.

"Don't talk nonsense anymore!" Esther looked at Annette while pointing her index finger.

Annette who had just been hit on the head just nodded in resignation.

Then the two of them also started walking.

The forest area started to look thinner. To the east, they could see an ancient tower so high it pierced the clouds.

While in the west, they could see forest and hilly areas that stretched so far.

They could see nothing but forests and hills. If they didn't get help from Erend, they would have to pass through that area for days.

Jan is still thinking about what really happened. His hand touched his stabbed stomach.

The wound that had been there and caused a lot of blood to be lost was now closed. Annette's healing magic was indeed extraordinary.

But the focus of Jan's mind was not that. What he was thinking now was what kind of monster actually attacked them.

"I thought I was going to die for sure just now." Halfway up the road, Esther said. "You said the forest area was safe, Jan. But what was that?"

"I also do not know," Jan said shaking his head. "Forgive me."

"Why are you apologizing? It wasn't your fault," Esther said. "I'm just confused. I never doubted your ability and knowledge about the forest. If you say the forest is safe, it means it is safe. But it seems something is wrong."

"Yeah, does this have something to do with all the weird stuff that's been going on lately?" Hund asked.

"Of course. What else?" Jan said. "I don't know where the monsters came from. Maybe they came from the Lifeless Forest. If the creatures in the Lifeless Forest dare to leave their territory, that means things are going really wrong."

They then fell silent. Letting a cold gust of wind blow through the trees and make a rustling sound fill.

The path has begun to appear ahead. That meant they were getting closer to the North Village.

Erend jumps out from inside the Portal. Then he saw the sight of Billy sleeping in his seat with his mouth hanging open.

Erend chuckled and then jumped into the car. He shook Billy's shoulder hard. Making the man jump in surprise and wipe his drool.

"You done?" Billy asked with the look of someone who had just woken up. Confused and somewhat disoriented.

"Yes, let's go," Erend said.

The car started running again. On the way, Erend opened his Status Window.

9 Unused skill points.

As soon as the Status Window appeared, Erend was immediately lost in thought.

'Should I take the new [Dragon Skill Set], or upgrade one of the skills in the [Fire Dragon Skill Set]?'

That's quite confusing. So far the [Fire Dragon Skill Set] was enough to make him overcome the obstacles that appeared.

However, Erend didn't know what would come next in the future.

'Ah, I'd better wait until the time is right. I'll keep the Skill Points until then.'

This is the right choice in Erend's mind. He would save his Skill Points first and focus on Stats Points.

When it comes to Stats Points, the things to add are pretty self-explanatory.

His fighting style with Dragon power is a direct attack with brute force.

He had to directly hit the enemy with all his might until the enemy died. Pretty simple.

'Add 3 Stats Points to Strength, 1 Point to Stamina, 2 Points to Defense, 1 Point to Vitality, and 3 Points to Magic Resistance.'

Erend thought that Magic Resistance would be important in the future. That way he could better defend against Magic attacks.

It might also be from a dangerous magic attack like the one released by the Dark Elf at that time.

Satisfied, Erend heaved a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. He intended to sleep for a few minutes before arriving at the Republic of Ascaria.

"Hey, wake up." Billy's voice immediately woke Erend. As soldiers accustomed to living in the midst of war, Erend didn't take long to wake up.

The towering and gray walls greeted Erend's eyes when he opened them.

They passed the checkpoint and entered the gate. As soon as they finished parking the truck in the parking lot in front of the military headquarters, Erend and Billy immediately got out.

Billy parked the old truck in the corner of the military parking lot as he always did. Billy had heard that the truck was an eyesore.

When the two of them got out of the truck, several military officers who passed by gave them strange looks.

A look that contained contempt and disdain. But they didn't say anything to Erend and Billy.

This sight was quite strange in the eyes of the two of them. Usually, military officers or soldiers who had come from the military from the start -- not forced people like them -- always looked at them with disdain. After that,t they would say their mocking.

"Looks like things will change from now on," Billy said with a grin. He also deliberately said it out loud so people around them would hear it.

Erend couldn't help but smile. "You're right. We are heroes, right?"

Billy was laughing loudly now. "Right, we are a fucking hero!"

The soldiers who passed them stared with scornful eyes. But then again, it only made Erend and Billy hold their heads up even more.

They entered the headquarters. A female soldier met them.

The woman smiled faintly with dignity. Her face seemed to reveal a clear aura of power.

Erend had a thought that maybe military blood was flowing in her vein.

The woman was probably in her late twenties or early thirties. Her hair is shoulder-length short. Black, glossy, and quite smooth. Her pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes stared at Erend and Billy.

"Good afternoon, Sgt. Drake, Sgt. Brook," the woman said. "My name is Major Tania Lennard. Please follow me."

Major Tania Lennard had already turned around before they could say anything.

Even though she said 'please' it didn't mean that she was asking. But it sounded more like she was giving orders.

Erend and Billy followed her. From behind, Billy stared at the scene of the Major's bottom part draped in the tight military trouser.

"She's the General's daughter, bro," Erend whispered to Billy.

"So what?" Billy whispered back. Without taking his eyes off the front. "We follow her well like obedient soldiers."

Erend snorted. Suddenly, Major Lennard looked back. Her eyes, which looked like blades of knives, pierced their eyes.

But before long she immediately turned to the front again.

"I think she realized that you looking," Erend said.

Billy just shrugged his shoulders. Even though he just got a death glare, Billy continued to stare at the Major's ass.

Erend could only shake his head. Major Lennard stopped at a door and knocked.
