I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Thomas squeezed his cell phone. But then realized that what he was doing could damage his cellphone, where he stored a lot of important data. So Thomas immediately calmed down and took a deep breath.

After holding his breath for a few moments, Thomas let it out. He felt much calmer now.

"So, I have no choice but to stay here for now," Thomas muttered gloomily. "Hopefully they awake soon."

Thomas stared at the sight in front of him. Right now he was standing on the balcony of the hospital floor which was located pretty high so he could gaze out over the wide view of the city.

In such a large city, almost everyone is clueless about what happened. They didn\'t know about the existence of a terrible force from another world.

In contrast to Thomas, who had seen for himself how the force from another world worked.

He felt very lucky while at the facility. If his luck wasn\'t so good, he might be lying down with Conrad and Annie right now. Or even disappear without a trace like Steve.

Thomas suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Even though the sun was shining brightly this morning and felt that warmth on his skin. However, there was a chill that came from the fear in his heart.

As a scientist, Thomas shouldn\'t be afraid of something that isn\'t evident. Yet, he had a very clear feeling that whatever it was, was approaching with definite steps.

That\'s also what made him restless for the last few days. Thomas wanted to quickly examine whatever was left of the facility incident to be able to treat his restless feeling.

But it seems that all that will not happen in the near future. So Thomas couldn\'t do anything but wait for Conrad or Annie to wake up and hear what they were saying.

Thomas returns to the hospital. He bought an instant coffee before entering the room where Conrad was being treated and sat on the couch in the room looking at the man who still had his eyes closed with a peaceful face.

"What exactly did he see in there?"

Thomas drank his instant coffee. The taste is bitter, but Thomas likes that taste.

During these few days, Conrad felt himself only drifting in the middle of the boundless black void.

He didn\'t know what happened or why he was like that. All the memories he had melted together in that void as something indistinct.

But this time is different. A change occurred in Conrad\'s subconscious. He suddenly stood on the soft grass in the middle of a wide clearing in the middle of the forest.

In front of him, there was a wide lake. The surface of the water is calm and peaceful, indicating how deep the lake actually is.

Various kinds of flowers that grow by floating on the surface of the water make a very suitable decoration. Adds a sense of peace and lightness to this place.

Conrad felt familiar with this place. In fact, he remembered very well where this place was. When Conrad turned around, he found the figure of a woman Elf with brown hair standing as if to welcome him

"Eliril."

Eliril walked with a graceful stride. At each of her steps, there was a greenish aura that spread from her bare feet as she stepped on the grass.

Conrad who couldn\'t hold back his smile ran towards Eliril. Then he immediately hugged her. It had been too long since Conrad felt her touch. A scent similar to that of mint wafted into his nose, making Conrad feel peaceful.

Eliril returned the hug. There was a sad look in Eliril\'s eyes even though her lips were smiling. Tears had even appeared in her eyes, but she tried to hold them back from falling.

"It\'s okay now," Eliril said.

Conrad released his hug and looked at Eliril. "I really miss you."

"Me too."

Then, the look on Conrad\'s face turned to one of disappointment. He said. "Sorry, I seem to have failed to do what you wanted."

"You don\'t have to feel guilty. I shouldn\'t have asked you to do that." Eliril finally could not hold back her tears. The tears flowed down on their own. But she didn\'t sob.

"Because of me, you almost lost your life," Eliril added.

Conrad stared at her. "You know what happened?"

Eliril gave a sad nod. "I should have known that they would hunt you down sooner or later when you spread Magic to your world. Nonetheless, because I was consumed by grudges, I was blind to the risks you would face."

"It\'s not your fault. After what they did to you, it\'s only right that you demand revenge," said Conrad.

However, those words could not change the fact that because of her Conrad lay helpless and almost died. Eliril could no longer let the man she loved suffer.

"We don\'t have much time left," Eliril said.

"What do you mean?" Conrad looked confused and worried. He could sense an ominous tone in Eliril\'s voice. Something that seemed to indicate that they should separate as soon as possible.

"Because of me, you are suffering like this. They attacked you because you have that Magic power and are related to me. So... things will be much better if we don\'t see each other again."

Eliril\'s words made Conrad widen his eyes. "N-No. You can\'t be serious! I can\'t-"

"Goodbye."

Along with those words, Eliril stretched her hand towards Conrad\'s chest. She made a slow pushing motion. But what Conrad felt was a strong force that sent his soul flying so far.

Conrad saw how Eliril\'s form drifted away so quickly. Until finally she became a small form in his vision and disappeared a moment later.

Conrad opened his eyes. What he saw now was the pale white ceiling of the hospital room.

There is no more Eliril, a figure that has been missed all this time. And henceforth, Conrad felt that he would never see her again.
