Picking up Girls With My System

The mysterious building was in the middle of the island, which wasn’t big. Arthur and his friends got there in a few minutes.

It was a lifeless place. All the surrounding trees were dead, just like most of the island. There were no beasts roaming around. It looked like a desert place.

Even with all of that, Arthur knew he couldn’t let his guard down in a place like that one. Many people died just like that.

“Don’t let your guard down. We never know what’s in the shadows.” Arthur reminded everyone as they walked inside the temple.

There was nothing in the first part of the temple. It was just an open area with a few pieces of furniture, but that was all. The only thing that place had was dirt, which was understandable given the fact the temple just emerged from the ground.

Arthur kept going, keeping his guard up and look for anything out of the ordinary. Eventually, they all reached a wall with a lot of paintings on it.

Not only that, but there were some things written on that wall. Things no one could understand, except Arthur.

“This is written in the dragon’s tongue. What the hell?”

.

Arthur had never studied the language spoken by dragons, but he somehow learned it after turning into one. Some pictures were next to those words, which seemed to work together to tell a story.

“The story of the dragons, that’s incredible.” said Arthur.

“You know how to read that? That’s impressive. Where did you learn it?” Hayla and Joshua were curious, and only Kai knew the truth about Arthur.

He got closer to the wall, and went to the beginning of it, to read all the story.

“The dragons were the first creatures to rule,”

“They ruled the dream realm before the humans even existed, and all the other beasts had to obey them,”

“Their leader, Placidusax, was the wisest, and the strongest,”

Arthur paused at that, because, well, he was Placidusax. It was a thing he did not understand yet because he had no memories of living a thousand years as a dragon, at least not until that point.

“Their downfall came when the Gods came,”

“They fought for countless years, and in the end, almost all dragons got wipe out.”

He read all the story aloud, and everyone had their mouth’s wide open. It was known that humans were the ones that killed the dragons, but it wasn’t the case.

The story on that wall stated that the ‘Gods’ came and wipe almost all dragons. But who were they? Are they truly gods or just humans with immense strength?

Arthur had no answer for that, and felt he had learned nothing extraordinary, until he read the last part that talked about the Sky City.

“Sky City. That’s the place the wyvern told me to go to get more information!” thought Arthur.

It said that only one of its kind could find where the Sky City was, and it said that the Sky City never stays in the same place.

“So it’s basically a floating city that moves around in the sky, and you can only enter it if you’re a dragon? Damn, it will be hard to find this thing.”

Everyone wanted to learn more about the story of the dragons, just like Arthur.

“All right, let’s explore this place more and see if there’s other interesting things.” said Arthur.

They all kept walking, and it was hard to see the more they went inside that place. For Arthur and Kai, who could see in the dark, it was no problem. The two of them led the way, eventually reaching an enormous door.

There was no mechanism to open, and all of them tried everything to move that damn door, but nothing happened. Until Arthur got an idea.

Everything inside that place talked about dragons, and how you could only enter the Sky City if you were a dragon, so he wondered if that was also the case for that door.

Arthur used his claws to cut his hand and dripped blood on the door. Nothing happened at first, but once all the blood was all over the door, it shone in a reddish color, and opened.

“It worked. How?” Everyone thought the door could be opened with any type of blood, obviously. Only Kai knew Arthur was a dragon, just like the ones they read about.

They walked in inside that mysterious room. It had only a few things inside, and almost all of it was old and dusty. The only thing that got their attention was the gold coins lying around the corner, so Arthur ordered Kai to get those and count everything inside the ship.

Arthur had another thing in mind. Since the moment he stepped inside that room, it was as if something was calling him. He looked around to see what caused that feeling, and reached the corner of the room, where a few dusty items stood.

It was a two-handed sword with dust all over it. The material of it was black, and when Arthur tried to move it, it was almost impossible.

“Damn it. This thing weighs a ton!” Arthur couldn’t believe it.

He was not weak, and even using all of his strength, he could barely lift that weapon. The moment he wielded it, it felt like a part of him, as if it was a weapon he used a long time ago.

“Even though I can’t use it properly, I’ll keep it.”

Alongside that rusty sword, there was a book. Arthur took all the dust from the book using his hand and opened it.

All of its contents were written in the dragon’s tongue, and the more Arthur read, the more excited he became. It was a book written by an actual dragon, and it contained a few techniques and methods of training they used.

“This is too good to be true!” thought Arthur.

Arthur grabbed these two things, tossed inside his magical backpack, and looked at the others. As he turned, the room they were in shook, as if another earthquake was on its way.

“Fuck. Everyone, RUN!”
