Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Zick would always take a roundabout way when a city comes in his way shown by the map. The map only showed the rough positions of cities and capital of the Mhydrasvil empire. A detailed map can be used against them so the empire kept it as something classified. So sometimes Zick would come across villages while moving.

After travelling for a few hours, Zick could see the peaks of mountain in the distance.

'The three peak mountains.....'

With light steps, Zick moved towards it keeping up his speed, It was still night at the moment with the moon illuminating Zick's surroundings.

Right now, Zick ran on a plain terrain with sometimes tree appearing. He stooped in his track and looked at the fort of the city in the distance. This city name was poturic, it is the place where the person who got a piece of the dragon heart lives in, his name is Hester.

The three peak mountain would be destroyed in another eight months from now. According to the novel, four months before Hester goes to the academy was the day this mountain was destroyed.

It was destroyed in a fight between two dragons, the reason they fought was not mentioned in the novel as Hester just gave a brief description of what happened then.

When both the dragons were fighting Hester's father was in the mountain collecting herbs. After the mountain was destroyed a piece of the dragon heart flew in front of him. Chester's father was a knight so he was able to recognise the pure mana within the peace of the dragon heart. Instead of eating it himself, he had given it to his son who dreamt of going to the academy.

After eating the piece of the dragon heart, there weren't any changes at all, leaving the fact that his potential increased exponentially. But there were still some changes in his mana.

In the future when Hester was in the academy, the difference in his mana was noticed by a professor. After looking into it for a while the professor found out that the Hester mana was a little like the dragon's mana.

Fundamentally The dragons have different mana than the others, their mana symbolised nature. With the characteristic of nature in his mana Hester was always a step above others when it came to the potency of the mana.

'According to what Hester's father said the piece of dragon heart flew from the middle peak of this mountain'

The mountain in front of Zick had three peaks, with the middle peak as the longest. From the information he gathered there are wyvern on the peaks of this mountain. Zick felt that it was troublesome taking care of the wyvern.

'To take care of one wyvern at least one high rank knight is needed.....as long as only one of them appears I should be able to take care of it but...if they attack in a group I can only flee.'

Zick could only feel helpless about it, there are always things which are stronger than him. With the wyvern filling the mountain he would have to keep his guard up all the time.

Hiding his presence as much as he could, Zick started climbing the mountain. The mountain was very long, he had to lift his head totally to be able to see the peak of it.

Climbing the mountain for a while, Zick could feel a weird presence flowing through the air. It was a very vague feeling, it felt like the presence was there but at the same time it felt it wasn't. He was able to tell what this feeling was.

'Dragon mana'

Zick followed The mana in the air towards the direction which had a higher density of dragon mana in it. With his strength he climbed the mountain very easily, even if he fell from here only some minor injuries would occur.

The mountain had some vegetation here and there unlike the other two peaks. It was because of the dragon mana flowing here some plants grew with its support.

Crerrrrgh!

Zick heard the sound of wyvern from the sky, hurriedly hiding behind a boulder, he looked towards the sound.

A huge wyvern almost four metres in size flapped its wing and headed towards the direction which Zick was heading towards.

'Don't tell me.....'

Zick followed the wyvern, hiding himself behind the random boulders. The wyvern flew very fast so Zick had to move quickly behind it to not lose it.

After following it for 10 minutes like this, Zick and the wyvern reached the peak of the mountain.

Crerrrrrgh! Crerrrgh! crerrrrgh!

Many growling sounds of the wyvern rang out in front of Zick. The ground was flat and in the middle of this rocky flat land dragon mana came out profusely.

'As I thought.....'

There were more than 20 wyverns flying around here. They followed the dragon mana and reached here. A dragon dead body is a delicacy to them and it would even strengthen them after eating it.

Zick looked at them feeling helpless internally but still he never thought of giving up on the dragon heart. He didn't have any other way to make himself stronger right now.

The biological golem on the second continent may have some way of increasing his strength and potential in its database but it was still something of the future. If the golem didn't have any method his growth would be stumped.

'I stumbled across a problem so fast....'

Looking at the wyvern, Zick thought of a way to reach the middle of the flat plain. Right now, he was still crouching down behind a boulder and looking towards the wyvern.

The rocky flat plain did not have any place to hide so he could only stay here for now.

There is no way he can bait any wyvern using a monster body right now. With the chances of finding a dead dragon body here the wyvern would never leave this place.

The only way to reach the middle is for him to force his way there somehow.

'.... why is my life so hard?'

A self Deprecating smile appeared on his face thinking of this.
