So I'll admit, when I ordered a pizza from the local place like always, they were the cheapest ones around, I did not expect that it would lead to me becoming The Dragon Lord.
I gazed down at the many people looking up at me from my large platform, they were all kneeling and praying, my fellow dragons were roaring with pride and happiness as they shot blast of fire into the air.
It was amazing.
Closing my eyes I thought back on just how this all began. It has been a long time, many years have passed by since I was a simple human reborn into this world as a little dragon fending for himself.
Fighting for my right to live.
"Come now my Lord, shouldn't you make your speech now?" A voice whispered into my ear softly and I smiled.
"Perhaps so my queen." I mused standing up and roared silencing everyone.
"My dear friends, I thank you all for your prayers, each one reaches my ears filling me with joy to hear you all." I started off my speech, and I'll be honest, I forgot about making a speech, so I'm winging it, ha pun!
"A long time ago I was born into this world and I learnt a single truth, only with personal strength can you survive." I looked around at several of the large statues attached to my platform and all around, especially one of a elf.
"For so long I fought to grow stronger so that none may compete against me, to become the strongest. I wanted to stand at the top all by myself. For many years I made a river of blood follow behind me in my desire for strength." I smiled.
"However even the mightiest will eventually need help. I fought against an opponent I couldn't beat, I for sure thought I would have lost my life then and there, but that never came to be, for my dear departed friend, Myrin Valphine, Prince of The Elves, saved me. Through his teaching did I learn that perhaps I could rely on others." I took a deep breath, mentally, and stepped forward slightly.
"Sometimes we all need a helping hand to prosper, no matter the form, you will eventually need a hand. Be it as a friend, sibling, parents, enemy or even just a neighbor. One day you will need it, maybe you already have been given a hand." I spread my wings out wide creating a large gust of wind.
"So let us all set OUT TO BE THE BEST US WE CAN!" I roared out as a green blast of energy shot out my throat and everyone started roaring or yelling together.
"It's time to wake up!" A voice yelled before a sudden pain shot through my head and I found myself staring at the ceiling and an angry mom.
"Oh, it was a dream." I muttered disappointed before grunting as I got up and started getting ready, sadly my school would throw a hissy fit if I missed another day without a proper excuse.
Sadly I didn't have one right now.
Wait… I haven't gone to school in years, I'm 22 and I live alone. My moms been dead for years.
Slowly I turned to stare at the form of my mom and paled, where her face should be was blank, like there was literally nothing there besides skin, but words were coming out in the same familiar voice.
With a grunt I landed a strong kick out and watched as it went through her instead of hitting.
"Who are you!?" I demanded and a dark chuckle was heard before everything seemed to glitch out. I was in a dark space and everything started hurting.
"Do not worry about my identity my dear Dragon Lord, we shall meet soon, very soon. Rest and regain your strength, you shall need it for the coming times." The voice whispered softly before everything broke apart.

"Zardos!" A concerned voice said and I painfully opened my eyes to see a familiar face that I knew was real thanks to the pain.
"Selena." I murmured softly as I stared into her worried eyes before grunting as I pushed myself up and tried to move forward despite the numerous request to stop.
I failed though, just a few steps forward and I found myself falling down with a pained grunt as blackness invaded my vision. My huge form refused to move now, I could faintly make out the sounds of clashing in the distance.
"I'm sorry." I muttered before the blackness fully took over and echoes of the past finally claimed me for a time.

"Whoever said being an adult ruled, well they fucking lied!" I grumbled as I sat on my couch flipping through channels.
"I got no money and I'm working my life away just to be able to survive with scraps left behind for change. Is it too late to go back to prehistoric times, let me be a caveman and fight for my life and food." I laughed imagining that knowing damn well I'd probably die doing something stupid like trying to tame a giant wolf or something like that.
"Fuck I'm hungry and it's too hot to cook." I grumbled as I turned off the tv and grabbed my keys, wallet and phone. Walking outside I started my truck and drove off, I wanted some pizza.
Turning on the radio I stumbled through the channels till I found something good, and then hit the ac, but I forgot, it had died yesterday and was only blowing warm air right now, fuck me, I ain't got the money for this shit.
"Watch where you're going!" Someone yelled out and I leaned out the window to look down at a small car driving besides me.
"You know what, I don't even care asshole." I said and drove off as the light turned green.
Eight minutes later I pulled into the parking lot of my favorite local pizza place that didn't charge a fortune for a pizza and tasted good, not like that cardboard tasting shit some other places sold.
"Rico!" I said happily walking in. I was well known by the staff since I've been coming here since I was like twelve or so.
"Raven!" Rico said happily in return as we fist bumped. "The usual bro?"
"You know it." I said handing over the ten bucks exact.
I sat around waiting a few minutes and making idle chat with Rico and a couple other employees, occasionally moving out the way for others to order.
I happily took my pizza, a plain cheese with extra cheese, and walked out the store planning to eat it outside like usual.
"Hey asshole!" I heard and looked up, my eyes going wide as I stared down the barrel of a gun. Before I could even react there was a flash and then pain.
"Oh." I said as I fell onto my back and everything started fading to black, the last thing I saw was a flash of dark green before it went entirely dark.

An original story I've had floating around in my head for a long time now, I know this first chapter was probably confusing for some, but I promise it will make sense, eventually.
Chapters will be a lot longer then this one was, this can just be considered the prologue, much shorter then a usual chapter.
Honestly I have so many ideas for a story like this one and I can't wait to put them out, so for now please be patient and wait since writing long chapters will take a long time.
Until next chapter!
Bye~

P.S. Some edits may or may not appear as I do some grammar editing in the near future. This ain't a fanfiction, so I want good and proper grammar for it unlike my usual free styling for my fanfics. Time to let the grammar nazi free.
