When I asked the Dragon King about why Agni can no longer "make a contract", he gave a long explanation I never expected to hear, it contained a new piece of the truth of this world's history.

"A Dragon is a millenary being. We are the great guardians. In ancient times, we used to make bonds with your tribes, the slaves of the gods. With our combined strength and your intelligence, we overcame the god's tyranny and freed the surface of this world from their grasp. Yet… they remain in the skies, watching and controlling you all." He said. "A Dragon can only make a single contract through their lifespan, due to their tremendous power. Although it has been cut off for now, your contract with Agni will be for life! Make sure to grow strong enough to be able to withstand my strongest son's powers, child. He is waiting for you."

"Slaves?" I wondered. "And the dragons… I see, so you were much more important for the freedom of this world than I imagined! This is something I've never heard before…"

"Of course you haven't." He said. "It is a piece of history that the gods don't want your people to learn anymore. Your churches control knowledge and have twisted your history into a complete lie to make you all praise and love the gods, whom were your creators, but also the ones that forced upon you a life of slavery and suffering."

"So that's… how it really is." I sighed. "Just how old are you to know this, Dragon King?"

"Hmph, older than your own country." He laughed. "I met and fought the first Demon King."

Wait, what?! How strong is he to do such a thing?! He is probably already in a god-level of power if that's true… But I can't imagine him living for so long without any wounds, or having his strength weakened.

"You're sharp." He praised me. "However, the chit-chat must end. I will now go to sleep. Get stronger, and maybe I'll talk to you again. If you're bold enough, once you grow older, you're invited to the Land of the Dragons within the Demon Continent."

"W-Wait! I have so many things to ask first!" I cried.

"Enough. You shall now go back. Cultivate your Dragon Heart and acquire the Dragon Eyes, the Dragon Lungs, and the Dragon Skeleton. Maybe if you do so, I will recognize you enough to tell you more of the truth." He said.

FLAAAASH!

A bright light engulfed me, and then, I woke up.

"Sylphy! You're awake so soon? I-I guess I shouldn't had worried…" Aquarina said, tilting her head and looking at my face. "Hello? Are you there?"

"The Dragon Eyes, the Dragon Lungs, and the Dragon Skeleton…" I said, quickly remembering what the Dragon King said. "If I get those, somehow, I will become worthy of learning more of the truth."

"Huh? W-What? Did you had a weird dream?" Aquarina was confused.

"Ah!" I finally snapped back to reality, quickly sighing. "N-Nothing, I just had a weird dream. I saw… the Dragon King. He was certainly an intimidating guy… He said I had to get the Dragon Eyes, Dragon Lungs, and Dragon Skeleton to become worthy… of learning the truth."

"The truth?! Wait, the Dragon King?! I've heard he's.. just a legend." Said Aquarina. "A Dragon King is the king of all dragons, said to have been the first dragon to ever exist, born from the world itself as the guardian, while the demon king was born as the weapon of the world…"

"I guess they had similar roles…" I said while thinking. "Well, he's totally real, and super old too."

"Eh?! This is shocking news!" Aquarina said, she was being a bit sarcastic, maybe she didn't believed me completely. "Now, now, maybe you should try to relax, you passed out for a little while…"

"I am saying the truth!" I sighed. "I saw him!"

"O-Okay, I trust you." She said, giving me a head pat. "But you seem a bit exasperated, no? And your scales are growing all over your body? Also your eyes… look dragon-like."

"Ah!" I quickly realized I was on my Draconification state.

But unlike before, it didn't even felt tiring anymore. What is this? How much has my Dragon Heart grown in power?

"Congratulations Sylphy! Check the System Notifications!" Alice congratulated me through telepathy.

"Huh?" I checked the system notifications, expecting something interesting.

Those blessed by his powers receive an enhancement to their Dragon Magic Power of +250%. Their Dragon Scales become +300% tougher. Their Dragon Breath becomes +250% more explosive. Their Wings become +500% faster. And lastly, their Dragon Eyes become +500% sharper.

Woah, this is insane… And I guess that explains why I am now in my Draconification form without receiving any penalties, or seeing any timer show up telling me how much time I have left either.
