Dragon Monarch System

After an entire minute, the dark storm clouds began to disappear. As everything returned to being quiet, Adam sighed in relief. The wild lion was currently lying in a crater. His right arm was badly injured. He had coughed out a large amount of blood.

Cough!

"Was that brat trying to kill me or what?" Adam coughed as he struggled to even stand up. Adam had no idea what just happened. All he saw were countless bolts of crimson lightning falling from the sky. The lightning bolts were too fast for Adam to dodge in time. He ended up being hit by multiple crimson lightning bolts. Fortunately, the power of the crimson lightning wasn't concentrated into a single lightning bolt otherwise Adam would have died.

The entire floating island and the ancient castle were destroyed at the top of the mountain. In the present situation, this floating island is nothing more than a large piece of damaged land dotted with both small and large craters in various shapes and sizes.

Adam was in worse condition. He had exhausted his mana. His arm was in a very bad condition. His bones were shattered and the skin on his right arm had been burned back. The clothes that he wore were torn apart. The only thing that wasn't harmed by the crimson lightning bolts was his 5-star great sword.

Adam took out a 5-star healing pill and ate it. As his body began to heal, he couldn't help but wonder where he had gone. "Where is Aditya?"

At the same time, Adam couldn't help but wonder where his duplicate version was. "I wonder if the Fake Adam is still alive." The last time Adam saw him, he was struck by 4 bolts of crimson lightning that sent him flying who knows where.

The world around Aditya was a very strange place. Aditya currently found himself sitting on a throne that was made out of the diamond. The diamond throne was very soft and also very comfortable. Behind the throne, there were more than hundreds of different Dragons' scales embedded into the Dragon. The throne was deep crimson in color. The color of the throne matched the name of Aditya's dragon bloodline.

As for the surroundings, sitting in a dark room. The room was so big that he couldn't see the walls. Another thing that Aditya noticed, he cannot see through the darkness. His passive skill allowed him to see in the darkness but here his passive skill appeared to not work properly.

The floor of the room was made from black marble. The floor was very shiny and smooth. Aditya can even see traces of his own reflection.

10 meters in front of him, there was a big campfire. Instead of a regular flame, it was a crimson flame. The campfire allowed Aditya to see that there was another throne beyond the campfire. The other throne was located opposite his throne, 20 meters away from him.

However, unlike his throne which was crimson in color and had various dragon scales embedded in it, the other throne was made out of wood. The throne was deep green in color. The back of that throne had green dragon scales embedded into it.

"What is this place?" Aditya asked himself. He tried to sense where he was but just like his passive skills didn't work here, even his high senses also didn't.

"This place is something similar to the Dreamworld." Aditya heard an old man's voice. The old man's tone was full of kindness and warmth. Aditya felt he had met this old man once in the past before but he couldn't remember exactly where he had met.

The old man wore white cloth. His face was wrinkled but he still looked very handsome. He had a white beard and long white hair that he tied into a ponytail. The most attractive thing about the old man was his deep green eyes. The old man was tall as Aditya.

"Do I know you?" Aditya asked. Aditya can tell that this old man wasn't hostile to him. In fact, he can feel this old man's kindness and warmth. If Aditya ever had a grandfather, then he would look something like this old man.

"Hahaha! Have you forgotten me, Aditya?" As just as the old man said these words, the surroundings once again changed. Aditya widened his eyes as he found himself in his old bedroom. This was the bedroom where he used to live. This was the bedroom of the prince. Aditya never thought that he would see this place again.

The campfire and the darkness disappeared. Aditya was able to see the old man's face even more clearly. Suddenly as if something clicked inside him, a memory of his childhood flashed before his eyes.

Flashback_____

"Father, who is this man?" Ask little Aditya. Aditya was hiding behind his mother and peeking at the old man who was sitting opposite his father. It appeared that this old man had visited them. He was a very important person. The Emperor who was Aditya's father respected this old man very much and held him in high regard.

Aditya and his mother came to the meeting room to greet the old man. The three years old Aditya had seen the old man for the first time. While his mother and father looked like they knew the old man for a long time. His father even called the old man uncle.

"Hahaha! So this is little Aditya. The prince of the Celestial Dragon Empire." The old man kindly smiled at Aditya. Aditya's mother encouraged Aditya to go to the old man with a smile on her face. Watching Aditya, even his father was smiling. When Aditya was young his parents pampered him. They adored him. They loved him and were willing to do anything for him. But that changed once they learned that he couldn't awaken his dragon bloodline.

Little Aditya stepped forwards to the old man. The old man picked up Aditya and then made him sit on his lap. The old man then gently stroked Aditya's head with a smile. With a single look, the old man was able to tell that something was wrong with Aditya's bloodline. 'This child won't be able to awaken his dragon bloodline. This child will have a very tough future.' The old man would have liked to help Aditya but unfortunately, there was nothing he can do.

The old decided to not tell anything to Aditya's parents and let things play out.

"Uncle, where have you been? I tried to look for you when my son was born." Aditya's father highly respected this old man. As this old man was Aditya's grandfather's best friend. After Aditya's grandfather passed away, this old man took the place of his best friend and looked after his best friend's child. One of the reasons that the Celestial Dragon Empire was prospering and was so powerful is because of this old man. Despite looking this old and weak, this man was one of the strongest beings on the planet.

"I was traveling to other continents in disguise. Today, I came here to let the two of you know something very important."

"What is it, uncle?" Aditya's father and mother suddenly looked very concerned.

"My time is coming to an end. Pretty soon I will die." The last thing that Aditya remembers was seeing his parent's sad faces. His father was almost on the verge of shedding tears. While his mother had covered her mouth in shock.

End of flashback.___

"Grandfather....?" Aditya was sure that this old man was dead. He wanted to know what happened after that. This memory left many questions in his mind.

"So do you remember me now?" The old man asked with a smile. Aditya just nodded his head with a smile.

"What happened next?" Aditya asked wanting to know more.

"Nothing. Your parents became emotional. I made you unconscious as I didn't want to see your younger self cry along with your parents." The old man laughed. He didn't look sad. He instead looked happy remembering his parents.

As if understanding what Aditya wanted to ask him, the old man nodded his head. "Yes, I have died. A long time ago, your grandfather and I, fought an enemy that was so strong that it took both of our powers to defeat it. However, we miscalculated several things and in the end, your grandfather had to pay the price for this with his life. I was also severely injured. A suffer an injury that cannot be healed. Maybe the goddess of nature and the goddess of alchemy together could have healed me. But at that time, those two weren't even born. Even their parents were very young."

Aditya opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. He had so many things that he wanted to ask this old man. "I knew I had a few years to live. I took over my best friend's duties just like I had promised and protected the Celestial Dragon Empire till the Empire was strong enough to defend itself. In my ending years, I traveled across all the continents. In my journey, I discovered many interesting things. I have even left a small legacy behind. Whoever manages to obtain that legacy will have no problem reaching Peak 5th-order."

"I lived a very long life. I have no regrets left. However, just a year before my death, I had a very strange vision. As one of the few origin Dragons, I have the unique power to see a dragon's potential. I had a vision that in the near future, the Dragon Monarch is going to come. The Dragon Monarch is going to unite all the remaining Origin Dragons and all Dragon on this planet. The Dragon Monarch is going to possess the Divine Dragon bloodline." Aditya widened his eyes on hearing the old man's words.

"I was beyond excited when I learned that there is going to be a Dragon Monarch. For the first time, I was regretting the fact that I was going to die before I could meet the dragon, Monarch. So in the end, I and the other origin Dragons came together and held an ancient ritual where I sacrificed a part of my soul which left me permanently weakened and also reduced my life expectancy by half a year. But in exchange, a small part of my soul will be able to meet the Dragon Monarch in his unconscious state. I never was expecting the Dragon Monarch to be you, Aditya."

"Why?" Aditya asked in a low tone.

"Because back when I had come to meet you, I noticed that there was something wrong with your body. It was as if someone had deliberately done something to you when you were just born. This prevented you, the heir of the Dragon King from awakening his Dragon bloodline. Unfortunately, neither I nor any of the Origin Dragons could do anything to solve this." Aditya's eyes were full of shock.

"If you knew then why didn't you let my parents know about it?" Aditya asked in anger.

"Who said I didn't? After I knocked you out, I let them know about this. Both of your parents positively took the news and said that they are going to look for a solution." Right now, everything was falling apart. Without realizing a drop of tears came out from his right eye and rolled down his right cheek.

'If they knew, then why they are so kind to me? If they knew that I was a disgrace, then why they waited till so many years before throwing me out?' Aditya's mind was in chaos. For the first time ever since his parents had thrown him out, he wanted to meet them so that he can ask for them some answers.
