POV RadiantHero:
The glowing sword, followed by the two swords made of light, struck against the flaming spear, the evil player in the mask getting pushed back as he bent in his knees from the force of the hit.
RadianHero kicked the player, his armoured boots hitting the masked evil player in his stomach, his whole body flying backwards, hitting against the tree with his back and sliding on the ground.
“Stand up! There is still lots of beating for you!”
The evil player stood up, blood leaking from under his mask as he gripped his spear.
“You are insane, dude! You seriously need to take a break from this game. You can’t even think..”
Hero stopped listening, ignoring the ignorance of the evil player, ‘Why can’t they simply realise their wrong doings… they think that they can do any evil just because some company called this game.’
“I am insane?! Nonsense, I am the only one who realises the truth behind NPCs. They are too realistic to be unsentient! They are living computer programs, and you are killing them! That they are data doesn’t mean that they have no rights!”
Full of rage at the ignorance of the evil player, RadiantHero lifted his sword once again, slowly walking towards the evil, bleeding player, his eyes shining in the white radiance of his light-attributed mana.
Suddenly leaves on trees around him rustled as they slowly moved in the wind. A large sphere of magma descended from the sky, all of the leaves turning into cinders. The bright orange radiance and sunlight passing through the hole illuminated the dark forest.
RadiantHero rolled to the side at the last moment as the sphere exploded, a few droplets of magma falling on him, burning his skin.
He turned his head without a helmet towards the sky, his eyes growing in surprise.
A giant beast with two muscular legs and a pair of huge wings fused with large clawed hands were hovering above the burned hole in the canopy. Its whole body was covered in dark stone amour, crevices of magma interwoven into it.
‘This is not a wyrm… did they fabricate even it…’
Two figures covered in black mantles fluttering under the wind made by the large flapping wings sat on top of the beast.
“We are here! Let’s kill this psycho!” a small figure in a mask swung his giant axe.
POV Vesuvius:
The dragon was lying in the dark black cave filled with dark smoke, his large body sprawled on a small pile of glittering golden coins. He slightly moved his large body, the rustling of the soft gold under him relaxing his muscles and mind.
‘Time to check what I got from the dungeon.’

The bronze light flashed across the dark cave, and golden coins rained down from the ceiling, dinging as they rolled on the uneven stone floor of the cave. Five ingots of super shiny metal that looked like chromium appeared out of nowhere, neatly stacked into a pyramid in front of the dragon.
Finally, a plain metal rod materialised out of nowhere, lying on the ground next to the ingots.
The dragon’s irises dilated, watching the small golden coins roll on the floor. He was just lying there, unmoving. His eyes fixated on the glittering gold before he finally snapped out of it, ‘Gold is best…’
He brought his sizeable armoured snout to the five shiny ingots and sniffed, ‘Just mass-produced magical sci-fi alloy. Not very expensive, but might be useful for something.’
Finally, his eyes settled upon the metallic rod as he silently cursed, “This is such garbage… spear with enchantment to improve its cutting power when it relies upon piercing. Also, as it is an energetic weapon, one needs to feed it mana just to use it. That is such garbage! I might as well throw to my minions…”

‘Did my luck run out?’ Vesuvius couldn’t feel but be depressed as a large book with a simple brown leather cover and a bottle filled with glowing rainbow liquid appeared with a flash of silver light in front of him.
‘They are not useless… but they aren’t something worthy of being in a silver box. XP is never useless, and a strong potion that can recover my HP and MP can be a lifesaver, but still, some magical items would be much better.’
Wanting to fix his mood Vesuvius opened his last remaining golden box, crossing his claws, hoping for something good.
The bright golden light flashed in the cave, its intensity much greater than the previous boxes. Bright golden rays of light penetrated through the smoke and illuminated everything.

‘Finally, something that sounds like something outstanding. If it is what I think it is, then that will be a real treasure for me.’
Filled with expectations, Vesuvius immediately used his analysis while quietly praying.

“Gahaha! Thank you, the only and supreme god of dragons!” the whole cave shook under the booming laughter of the dragon, who was ecstatic as his inner player from his former life erupted in the joy of obtaining important components for his build.
He prayed for the material to empower his regeneration, and now he gained a second one. The first one could be a coincidence, but the second one felt like a confirmation for the dragon.
Great fervour blazed up in his heart, “Ooo, great dragon god, I will build you a church!”
‘They are my greatest ally in this world, and I should get as good a relationship as possible. I can’t lose anything by doing so.’
Suddenly incredibly intense sleepiness came out of nowhere, quickly empowering the dragon as he closed his scaly lids.
