Dragon Monarch System

“Please forgive me. I swear I will never show my face in this city.” A man who was wearing cheap and torn clothes kneeled before the man wearing a black cloak that covered his body.

“You’re the type of person who will kneel before the stronger and bully the weak. Give me a good solid reason why I should let you live.”

“I…..I will take care of the children in the orphanage.”

“orphanage…Hahaha!….”

Aditya coldly smiled and then glanced at the 21 children standing 20 meters away and staring at Aditya in a mix of fear and gratitude.

“You used those children to run your business. Just die.” Aditya instantly burned the man who was kneeling before him to ash using the Crimson flame.

“You shouldn’t have killed that man in front of the children. What if your action traumatizes them?” Julia said as she looked at the group of 21 children standing 20 meters away from them.

Long story cut, after exiting the inn some thugs followed them. Aditya and Julia took some time to deal with the thugs and attack their base where they found 21 children being locked in a cage. The children’s age varied from 7 to 15. There were 13 girls and 8 boys. The power of these gangsters was just too low to give Aditya any experience points.

“Now what should we do with the children?” Julia asked. Leaving these children in this city would be extremely cruel. Sooner or later, another group of thugs will capture them and sell them as slaves.

Aditya glanced at the group of children and sighed. All of their bodies were severely malnourished._.

“I have no idea. As much as I wish to send these children back to the Istarin Kingdom, the distance is just too far away. Leaving them here would be the same as abandoning them to die.”

“Are you going to abandon use?”

“Brother, what are you doing?” From the group of children, a 15 years old boy stepped forward.

Julia and Aditya looked at the young malnourished and underdeveloped boy with blue hair and blue eyes. The boy was wearing dirty old clothes to cover his body. His face and body were covered in dirt.

“Do you sense it?” Aditya nodded in response.

“He is still at the beginner phase. The mana in his body is too low.” Hearing their conversation the boy with blue hair was stunned as he had never told anyone, not even his little sister that he has learned to cultivate.

Aditya glanced at the boy and smiled. “What’s your name?”

“My name is Leo Gallagher.” The boy looked a little nervous. He was trying his best to reply without showing any nervousness.

“I have an idea. Why don’t we just send a message to one of my governors? They send some men to take these children away from the city.”

“That would take too much time. Besides, we’re going to leave tomorrow. Maybe we can hire a group of adventurers to send these children back to the Istarin Kingdom.” If Aditya and Julia leave, the children will have no security.

While Aditya and Julia were discussing, the boy took a deep breath and then did something which shocked everyone. “Master…?”

“What?”

Julia and Aditya stared at the blue-haired boy who was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. “What are you doing? There is no need for you to kneel before me.”

“Master, please take me as your student.” Aditya took a deep breath to calm himself. He only knew the basics of cultivation. Unlike cultivators, Aditya was more like a player that constantly leveled up and became stronger. So How can he take a student when he doesn’t even know much about cultivation? The thought of taking a student never crossed his mind.

“Why do you want to become my student?”

The children, Julia and Aditya stared at the boy with blue hair. Even in the darkness of night, the boy’s blue pupils seem to shine in determination. “I want revenge. I know Master is very strong. I want master to teach me and help me with my revenge.”

Aditya felt helpless. He looked at Julia as if asking for some help. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I don’t know much about cultivation. I don’t even have enough knowledge to teach anyone.” Julia remained silent before looking at the boy’s blue eyes.

After a moment Aditya understood that his boy only wanted to become his student so that he can get his revenge.

“I refuse to accept any students. Tell me, Leo, how desperate are you to get your revenge?” Leo stared at those crimson eyes that were shining even in the dark. He knew it was those eyes that can help him.

“I will do anything. I am ready to become a slave if it means getting my revenge.”

“Brother what are you saying?” Aditya looked at another girl who exactly had blue hair and blue eyes as Leo. The girl was about 13 years old.contemporary romance

“I will give you an offer. If you agree to work for me and never betray me, then I will make you strong enough to get your revenge. Not just revenge, I will make you rich enough to live on mountain golds. You will never have to worry about food, shelter, clothes, or being bullied again. Do you…I accept” Even before Aditya could finish his words, Leo accept his offer.

“Twice, betraying me will be worse than living in hell.” Saying that Aditya released a bit of his killing intent on Leo. Leo’s face instantly turned pale as he felt like he was standing before the god of slaughter.

“I accept.” Leo gritted his teeth. He was ready to do anything for revenge.

Under Julia’s gaze, Aditya put a star-shaped talisman on Leo’s forehead. The talisman shined before the golden light entered his forehead.

“This contract will prevent you from betraying me. In the future, if you do anything to betray me, your soul will be ripped apart and you will die.” After saying that Aditya bit his right index finger. Under the shocked gaze of all the children, a drop of golden blood appeared. In the darkness of the night, the golden blood seems to be shining, radiating golden light.

“Take this.” A golden drop of blood fell on Leo’s forehead. The next moment a red Crimson Aura surrounded Leo. The crimson light from his body brightened the entire warehouse.

Ahhh!

Leo couldn’t help but scream in pain as he rolled on the ground. “What did you do to him?” His little sister stepped out and angrily looked at Aditya, thinking that this man had done something bad to her big brother.

“Little sister, you can relax. In a minute you will know how lucky your big brother was.” Hearing her words, the little sister calmed down a little bit and impatiently waited. Her eyes were already red from seeing her brother suffering this much.

Just like she said, one minute later, the Crimson light around Leo started dimming down. Leo suddenly opened his eyes and stood on his feet. As the crimson light around him started disappearing everyone was shocked by seeing the changes on Leo’s body.

First of all, this Leo looked completely different. His height had increased to 5 feet 3 inches. The malnourished body of his had disappeared. There were very small light red dragon scales covering his arms, chest, neck, throat, collarbone, and some parts of his stomach. Even though Leo’s body was still covered in dirt, there was an Aura of nobility around him.

“Congratulations on becoming the second or maybe the 26th dragonian. How do you feel?” Aditya asked with a smile on his face.

instead of answering, Leo sat on his knees and looked at Aditya with endless gratitude written in his eyes. “Mas….No My King, I don’t know how will I ever repay you for this kind and generous gift.” Only Leo can tell how strong he had become. Now he felt he can easily kill those thugs and criminals that regularly bullied him.

“You have reached beginner 2nd-order. Now you have the power to defeat anyone in 2nd-order. Though you will need some training and maybe learn some fighting techniques.”

Now that Leo had become Dragonian, he could sense a connection with him. “My king, if it’s not too much, can I also ask for another drop of golden blood for my sister? Knowing the great benefits of a drop of golden blood, Leo wanted his little sister to also become a dragonian.

“No, she is too young.” Julia was having some thoughts about teaching this little girl.

“Alright let’s leave this place. Leo, you can take all the money these people had with you.”

After leaving the abandoned warehouse, Aditya and Julia, fortunately, found an inn. At first, the inn owner refused to let him in, but after threatening to kill him, he became an obedient puppy. Since the inn only had a few rooms, Aditya and Julia had to share a single room while the children stayed in the other 3 rooms.

“Aditya I think that boy also realized your intention.”

“What intention?” Aditya pretended to play dumb and asked.

“If you had accepted the boy as a student, there was nothing you could have taught him as a teacher as your knowledge in cultivation is too low. But by letting the boy become a part of the Istarin Kingdom, he made him stronger by giving him the golden blood. Others might think that you’re taking away that boy’s freedom but in reality, you only helped him.”

Lying on the floor, Aditya couldn’t help but smile. He felt pity for the boy. Those blue eyes had touched his heart. Among the 21 children, only Leo had the will and determination to survive and become stronger. Even if Aditya hadn’t helped him, sooner or later, Leo would have taken matters into his own hand and might have killed the thugs.

“By the way, why I am lying on the cold floor? I am the one who paid for this room. So as master, I should be the one who gets to sleep on the bed.”

“Hmph! If the inn had an extra room, I never would have let you sleep in this room. Who knows what a pervert like you would do to me in the middle of the night?”
