Cosmic Peak

After traveling to the east for 40 minutes more, he finally arrived at the place; He was shocked seeing this particular piece of land because, Be it Trees, Plants, or Rocks, everything was painted with red luster.

He pulled out a pickaxe from his inventory and started walking forward slowly towards the red ore deposits in front of him.

He cautiously started digging, and it didn't take him long to dig out a piece of red ore, But all of a sudden, a kind of oppressive pressure descended upon him as he could feel someone or something was behind him, and as he turned around, he received the shock of his life.

Fear crept inside him as he lost strength in his body because in front of him was a dragon, A Red Dragon about ten meters long.

The dragon opened its mouth, and a rumbling voice came out.

"Human, you are different, your body is so much weaker than average humans, you... don't seem to be from this world, correct?"

The pressure on Aren was increasing, and he could not answer even if he wanted to. The dragon seems to realize the situation and suppressed its pressure.

Aren immediately slumped to the ground and started breathing heavily. After calming down, he spoke with some composure, as it is no use running away from a dangerous creature such as this dragon.

"Y-yes, I am from another world."

The dragon's eyes & face had rich expressions, and on top of the ability to speak, Its intelligence didn't seem to be inferior to humans.

"Interesting, You are so weak. Your bones don't even compare to that of bones of human infants. That's how weak your bones are. "

The dragon was very talkative afterward as it asked about the world Aren came from, and Aren also told him all kinds of things. The dragon seemed to be interested in something he mentioned like TV, Mobile Phones, and Videos Games, etc.

The conversation between both of them lasted for one hour before the dragon asked, "Human, Do you possess any of those things like mobile or TV with your right now?"

Aren was silent for a few seconds before taking out his mobile phone from his pocket. Just as he took it out, the Mobile phone flew out of his grip and floated in front of the dragon.

*Poof*

Then Aren got another shock, as some kind of sparkling smoke enveloped the dragon, and after a few seconds...

.

.

The dragon transformed into a human, more precisely a boy around the age of 10-11. The boy dragon, whose transformation was not complete as indicated by the two horns on his head. He curiously held the phone in his hand, and after a while, the boy dragon looked at Aren and spoke in a childish voice, "Human, Come here and start the so-called video game. I want to see it."

Aren finally snapped out of his shocked self as he walked forward while thinking, 'It doesn't seem to be scary after transforming into a human. I should count my lucky stars that this is a young dragon which makes it curious just like human kids, no wonder it talked so much.'

Aren stood before the dragon kid as he handed over the mobile to Aren, which Aren took and opened a mobile game known as The Dragon's quest. After explaining to the young dragon about controls and other things, The young dragon started playing with gusto.

'Didn't expect this offline game I downloaded a few months ago would come in handy. This dragon should like it because it's also about a dragon who goes on various quests to get stronger and fight the evil deity in the end,' Aren mused as he saw the young dragon enjoying the game.

Suddenly, Strong winds started blowing all around, And the young dragon that was playing on mobile looked up in the sky.

Aren was already feeling pressure even greater than what he felt before, and all of a sudden, The wind and pressure grew a few notches stronger as Aren was directly smacked to the ground.

The young dragon spoke hurriedly at this time, "Father, stop, this is my new friend." after that, the pressure on Aren disappeared, and A Giant Red Dragon descended from the sky, way bigger than the young dragon. This giant Red Dragon was approx 100 meters long.

Aren slowly stood up while cursing in his mind, 'Damn dragons, can't they see that a weak human like me can't withstand their pressures? They are such bullies.'

The giant dragon spoke, "Rosflin, What do you mean by a new friend?"

Rosflin, The Young red dragon, spoke excitedly, "Yes, father, didn't you say that beings from another world will come into our world? This human seems to be one of those beings, and his world is so much different than ours. They have things like this" saying this. He held up the mobile phone towards the giant dragon.

Then the Father and son dragon talked with each other, with Rosflim speaking most of the time.

In the end, he said to his father with sparkling eyes, "Father, I want this mobile phone."

Father Dragon replied with sharp words, "We are the descendents of the Red Dragon Emperor, Don't think about stealing other people's things. If you want it, then ask if your new friend wants to sell it or not, and what is your new friend's name?"

Rosflin was embarrassed hearing the last part his father said as he hurriedly asked Aren, "What is your name, human? I was so into this mobile phone thing that I forgot to ask."

Aren shrugged internally as, by now, these two dragons don't seem to be that scary, especially after hearing what that father dragon said since he always thought that dragons would steal things if they wanted something. Still, this giant red dragon actually has rules and principles.

"My Name is Aren, Aren Azrael."

Hearing this, Rosflin said, "Alright, Aren, I want to buy this mobile phone, give me a price."

The Giant Dragon spoke at this time before Aren could answer, "Aren, You are not allowed to change the price that you speak from your own mouth, so think carefully before answering."

Aren's gears moved as he started thinking, 'What should I ask for? Money like golds? or more pieces of red ores? Or...should I raise the bar and ask for the entire red ore deposit? because maybe, these red ores are useless to this dragon?...or should I ask for life-saving grace?'

After thinking for a moment, Aren finally decided and spoke, "I would gladly give this mobile phone to Rosflin with the price being a favor from you, sir dragon."

The Giant Dragon spoke with some amusement in its voice, "What favor?"

Aren took a deep breath and said, "Would you help me in the future if I fall into mortal danger? of course, if sir dragon feels that you wouldn't be able to save me when the time comes, I wouldn't mind, but if it is within your capabilities and if you feel right about saving me, then I hope you can save me when the time comes."

The Giant Red Dragon narrowed his eyes and spoke with amusement in its voice, "Do you think that mobile phone is worth granting me this favor to you?"

Aren sweating smiled because if one compares the worth of both things, then obviously, a mobile phone is not worth the favor.

But he still spoke while shaking his head, " Honestly, they are incomparable. This favor I'm asking is far more worth than that mobile phone thing. But...I need this favor to secure my future. I am in this unknown world and I won't hesitate to ask something that increases my safety. "

"Well then, human boy. Do you think I will grant you this favor?"

Aren weakly chuckled and shook his head, "I don't know. That's up to you to decide. This mobile is not rare in our world. Many people have it and if you meet other humans from my world, I am sure they will also have it. Oh, they might not have the game Rosflin wants to play on the mobile but it can be downloaded easily too. You just need to...find another human...and ask for a mobile phone. Some might give it to you for free due to fear while others might ask something excessive. "

The father Red Dragon looked at Aren deeply before speaking, "What if I give you a chance to change your price?"

Aren smiled and shook his head, "I surely said that the mobile and your favor are not worth the same but...what I asked for that favor is not excessive at all. You are not obligated to save me when the time comes, It's just a choice for you. You are not oath-bound by that. In that favor, I only ask that if I fall into mortal danger, I hope sir dragon can save me...IF it is within your capabilities and if you feel right about it."

"Hahaha. Interesting...," The giant Red Dragon laughed loudly before speaking," Human boy from another world. I like your honesty and wits about it. Hahaha, Granted. The favor you asked for this mobile...is granted."

Afterward, something shot out from the giant red dragon in Aren's direction, stopping just in front of Aren's arm's length.

Aren reached out his hand and grabbed the thing which seemed like A Dragon's Scale.

<You've acquired an Epic Item: Red Dragon's Scale>

[Red Dragon's Scale]

-Your position will be revealed to the owner of this scale if you pour spirit energy into it.

-This Scale can be used to create a Fire Attribute Magic Item.

At this time, The father Red Dragon spoke seriously, "Although I am not among the most powerful in this world, I am not too far behind that line. But if you venture into forbidden zones or provoke some mythical beings, then I wouldn't be able to save you, so keep that in mind."

Aren bowed a bit and thanked the Giant Dragon.

After that, he carefully asked, "Can you tell me about the test which I have to take if I want to mine additional pieces of Red ore?"

Before the Giant Dragon could say something, the young dragon Rosflin spoke carelessly while playing the game, "Those red ores? They are worthless. Just take however many you want..."

*Snort*

Hearing this, The Giant Dragon gave out a loud snort which scared Aren a bit as he felt pressure, 'Phew...The dragons. hmm...Will I be able to become as powerful as them in this world?'

"Rosflin, Even if he is your friend, He has to take the tests to acquire additional pieces of Red Ore...But Since Rosflin has spoken this time, then you may take three pieces without any tests, but next time you will have to take tests if you want to mine additional pieces of red ores."

Aren was overjoyed as he hurriedly thanked the giant Dragon once again before starting to mine the additional two red ores.

After that, He bid farewell to the pair of dragons and returned to the town.
