I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend and Eccar start to advanced through the black-sand desert in no time. The ground suddenly trembled.

Without warning, a giant scorpion burst up from beneath, its massive claws snapping and tail poised to strike.

Erend didn't waste a moment. With a quick movement, he lunged forward and immediately dodging the creature's sting by inches before plunging his claws deep into its armored carapace. Eccar moved just as fast using his strength to cleave through one of its claws, sending fragments scattering.

They fought in sync with purposeful strike and they dodge in time.

The scorpions that emerged in their path met their end quick under their attack. Yet, with every step forward, more of the creatures surfaced as if the desert itself was intent on challenging them.

After dispatching several scorpions, Erend and Eccar feeling the power surged through their bodies. Then they continued moving forward.

But soon after, a giant sandworm erupted from the sand, its circular mouth lined with rows of sharp, grinding teeth.

Eccar leaping back just in time to avoid the sandworm's strike.

Without hesitation, Erend hurled a burst of fire at its head, stunning it for a moment.

This was all Eccar needed; he closed in, plunging an earth spear into the worm's tough hide, piercing through with a burst of strength that sprayed sand into the air. The creature writhed and crashed back into the ground, dead.

They caught their breaths only to realize that more monsters were appearing.

Another sandworm, then two more scorpions. Erend and Eccar exchanged glance, each sensing the shift in their surroundings. The number of monsters was definitely increasing than before, as if the very heart of the Dungeon World had sensed their presence and was rallying its creatures in defense.

"This is new," Erend muttered, his eyes scanning the horizon as another creature appeared in the distance, kicking up waves of sand.

"Guess the Dungeon World wants to see what we're made of," Eccar said, a smirk tugging at his lips. "I won't complain though. That means more power."

"I agree," Erend replied, determination sparking in his gaze.

With focused and blazing eyes, they prepared for the onslaught. Together, they rush forward.

Their steps kicking up clouds of sand as they met the wave of monsters. The ground trembled beneath them as sandworms and scorpions burst from the earth in staggering numbers, their clawed legs and snapping pincers forming a chaotic wall of writhing limbs.

One of the scorpion lunged at Erend, its tail whipping down toward him. But with a quick and fluid motion he sidestepped, catching the creature's stinger with his clawed hand and ripping it clean off.

He spun, driving his other claw deep into its armored back, feeling the hard shell crack beneath his grip as he tore through its body.

Meanwhile, Eccar faced a cluster of three scorpions at once, each one attacking him with venom-tipped tails. He dodged to the left then to the right, ducking low to avoid a claw before sinking his own claws into the soft underbelly of one scorpion.

The creature thrashed violently but he held his vice strongl and tearing upward and throwing the scorpion aside as he turned to the other monsters.

Just then, a sandworm erupted right next to Erend, its mouth open wide, rows of jagged teeth glinting in the dark.

He didn't flinch cause he know that it will happen. As the worm lunged, he thrust his claws into its gaping maw, grabbing hold of its inner jaw. Then with a fierce growl he yanked it down, splitting the creature's head with a sickening crack. Sand sprayed around him, painting his armor with flecks of monster blood.

Yet, as they fought, more creatures surged forward. There were too many to hold back completely.

Erend and Eccar found themselves eventually surrounded. Scorpions crawling over one another to reach them while sandworms tunneled and burst forth unpredictably from beneath them.

One scorpion managed to grab Erend's arm with its massive claw and squeezing with a terrible force. He gritted his teeth, feeling the pressure mount until he let out a snarl and drove his free claw into its face, snapping the claw's grip.

Meanwhile beside himm Eccar found himself backed up against a sandworm with its huge body pressing him toward a wall of scorpions. For a moment he struggled, clawing frantically to keep them at bay, before he channeled his strength and slammed his claws deep into the sandworm's hide.

With a forceful twist, he ripped a gaping wound down its side, freeing himself and pivoting to tackle the remaining scorpions around him.

The monsters seemed endless. They surging at them with relentless fury. Just as they dispatched one wave another rose to replace it. Erend's muscles burned as he struck down yet another sandworm only for a pair of scorpions to lunge at him from either side.

Eccar managed to catch one, dragging it off him with a grunt before raking his claws down its body, shattering its shell in a spray of sand and ichor.

As the tide of creatures finally began to thin, Erend and Eccar stood back-to-back with excited smile on their face, breathing heavily. Their claws slick with the dark fluids of their fallen foes.

They moved as one, fending off the last stragglers — a pair of sandworms that snapped at them from either side. With a final surge of their power Erend drove his claws through one's throat while Eccar tore through the other, each of them letting out a roar as the final monsters fell dead around them.

A silence settled over the desert, broken only by their labored breathing and the faint hiss of sand shifting in the wind. They look at the field of scattered corpses, realizing they had done it. Fifty monstrous creatures lay around them, their bodies littering the sands.

Eccar let out a chuckle. "So… are we getting a lot?" Eccar asked.

Erend gave a faint smirk, catching his breath. "Not bad," he replied. While looking at the window showing his EXP gain.

They shared a nod and moving forward.
