Chapter 6 Let Me Tame You
Chapter 6: Let me tame you
"Ugh!" Max dropped onto the rough ground, finding himself in a dark cave. He had no skill to light up the area, so he was utterly clueless about his new place.
He also felt like trash, for the system threw him into an unknown place against his wish. This made him feel angry.
After standing up, Max moved his eyes around, to no avail. Max was utterly at a loss with the darkness prevailing in his current spot.
But then, a roar swept through the cave. For a moment, Max thought that his ears burst out. He then realized the might of this roar as his whole beginner clothes fluttered, his hair swayed, and he barely stood firm on his two.
Max opened his eyes slightly, finding the source of the light. At the cave's other end, two eastern dragons floated. Their forms differed, for one was red while the other was blue.
The blue one let out a roar, his vast form coiling around the red one.
"Is that… a joke?" Max whispered while lifting his eyes.
His enemies were too huge. They made him feel like an ant, and they were glued to each other, so their forms took less place. They looked pretty cool, though. They had long horns, shimmering scales, and beautiful eyes.
Unfortunately, that was all that Max could catch. The blue dragon was impulsive, his jaw parting the moment Max ran his eyes on him. A second roar swept through the scene…
However, this time, water came from the blue dragon's mouth. The water was like a geyser in form. The sound was worse than rocket launchers from movies despite the cold water.
Max stood tense, his new skill alarming him, 'I feel mana all over me… I won't dodge it… I can't dodge it!'
He unconsciously lifted his hands, hoping for some good results. And while Max felt like he was too naive, his most prominent skill, Mana Freedom, once again caused a miracle.
[You have created a new skill, Mana Barrier(SSS).]
[You have used Mana Barrier(SSS)]
This skill came out of his hands like a bubble. Then, the blue transparent object swallowed Max entirely, swathing him in something akin to the aqua orb. In this place, Max no longer felt any foreign mana on his body.
In other words, he was secure.
BOOM!
And then, the water cannon splashed on his new skill.
Max stared at the development with bewilderment. Before his eyes, he saw a stubborn attempt to kill him, for the water continuously slammed his skill. He once again thought about it as beautiful, as if witnessing the biggest waterfall splashing on its feet.
He then opened the system, "Crap! This mana barrier sucks too much MP!"
His skills were outstanding, but an absolute defense cost too much mana. Max quickly recked his brain to form some good plan or even role-play, as his display of defense absolutely must've shocked the dragons.
He glanced at them, feeling safer than before, "Level 10? Still, for level ten, they are too big and powerful… But that gives me hope."
And while Max thought, the blue dragon's voice rang out in the cave, "He has denser mana than dragon?! Ridiculous! Is he their prodigy, an existence they created this fake world for?!"
Max narrowed his eyes as he listened to the dragon's voice. First, it was a female voice, and secondly, the way she spoke told him that she was actually the real dragon. Not a dragon created through some skill.
His heart trembled as he realized that he was in a situation where he could snatch something precious from the three families. No, those dragons surely were one of the most precious things waiting for the three family's descendants.
After turning off his new skill, Max took a step forward, "Three families are my enemies."
"Haha! Why would they bring their enemy to their treasure's vault?" The blue dragon laughed loudly, her voice shaking the cave as Max's words were too naive.
But Max continued with the same tone, "That's because they never expected a player like me. I am going to use their fake world for my own gain. I will clear the real dungeons, visit The Tower, and leave my names in places that not everyone can visit."
The blue dragon's laughter carried on. On the other hand, the red dragon's eyes had been fixed intensely on Max.
"He's not lying," Another womanly voice echoed through the cave, stopping the blue dragon's laughter.
For the first time, the draconian blue eyes started at Max with confusion. She couldn't believe three families would support their enemy, yet Max was here. And as her sister could see through lies, his words were valid.
Max noticed the difference between these two fast. The blue one was like a volcano while the red one was calm like a river. Their colors didn't match their personalities, but that was their beauty.
He glanced at the red dragon, then parted his lips, "I've received Dragon Tamer skill before coming here. It's probably because I've cleared the tutorial's first quest perfectly…
Yet, I was the third one.
The families must have left rewards for their descendants in the tutorial and early stages… Someone other than me would've faced you if it weren't for my presence. And since I am here, I will use my situation to the best of my ability.
Let this skill tame you," Max said without hiding anything.
He wasn't a hero who would save everyone. If he couldn't snatch those dragons for himself, he would leave them alone. Yes, he would fail the quest, but he already had the Dragon Tamer(S) skill in his hands.
It was too late for three families to fix that mistake. Even if they brought their descendant here, that skill was already in Max's hands. At most, they could only use other skills.
But Max had an inkling that it wasn't so easy and that he had truly thwarted their plans already.
The blue dragon howled, "Tame us?! You want to tame dragons?! You insolent human!" Her form tightened around the red dragon, seemingly choking her. However, the red dragon's eyes remained wide, gazing into Max's soul.
Max added, "I have my own system. I have a way to help you out. But I won't risk anything without a gain.
I'm too jealous of those three families to be like Robin Hood, you know?" Max laughed, feeling much more confident.
Of course, if he were to leave them alone, he still would've risked his identity's reveal. However, those dragons seemed prideful, and he didn't think they would help their enemy's enemy.
Anyway, Max couldn't think of a better scenario.
He added, "After taming you, I will kill myself here. I will respawn in the tutorial and continue as an ordinary player. If I complete more quests perfectly, I will meet those descendants too early.

Thus, he needed to be direct and confident in himself, just like his grandpa told him to.
