I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend and Eccar exchanged glances, the word echoing in their minds. Brothers? The shock on their faces was clear but it didn't take long for them to piece it together. The man standing before them wasn't just any one.

"You… you're also a Dragonborn?" Erend asked, his voice edged with disbelief.

The man's piercing gray eyes locked onto Erend. "Yes. I am," he said. "Call me Kaelor. I am the Ashen Tempest Dragon."

The name ring like a thunderclap. An Ashen Tempest Dragon, they uave no idea what it is. But the Ashen Tempest Dragon is a being tied to the fierce storms of ash and fire, capable of summoning chaos and destruction in equal measure. They only know that Kaelornis their ancestors.

Erend and Eccar stood in silence for a moment, their minds racing to process what they had just learned. Another Dragonborn suddenly appeared, here, now, with them.

Kaelor's expression tightened.

"We don't have time to waste," he said sharply. "I've only been able to stop time for a little while. But I'm not the Time Dragon so I can't hold it for long. You two need to move."

"Wait a fucking minute!" Erend snapped, his voice rising with frustration. "All of this—this fight, those avatars, this door! And now you? Showing up out of nowhere? What the hell is going on here?!"

Eccar, his fists clenched, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you can't just expect us to follow orders. Explain. Now."

Kaelor sighed deeply, the stern lines of his face softening just slightly.

"I understand your frustration, but this is not the time for a full explanation. What I can tell you is this: the six avatars who just went through that door are different threats than you have ever faced until now. They are conduits for powers that shouldn't exist in this realm that will destroy everything if left unchecked."

He gestured toward the now-closed black door. "That door isn't just a gateway; it's a seal. A lock designed to keep something ancient and malevolent from awakening, their real bodies. And now, it's been breached."

Erend's jaw tightened. Based on his explanation its all sounded dangerous. He wanted to know more but maybe stopping the six avatars is the top priority for now.

"So, what are we supposed to do about it? We couldn't even stop them from walking through that door!" Erend said.

Kaelor's eyes hardened, the weight of his gaze silencing both Erend and Eccar.

"You fight. You learn. Then you grow stronger. The two of you are Dragonborn. You carry the legacy of our kind and with that, also the responsibility to protect this world."

"Why can't you just do it yourself?" Eccar asked.

Kaelor's gaze softened, his voice quieter now.

"Because like I said, this fight isn't mine to win. My time has passed and I can"t manifest again. If I interfere too much, the balance will shatter. The cost would be greater than you can imagine."

For a moment, the weight of Kaelor's words pressed down on them, silencing any further protests. Erend and Eccar exchanged a look, their faces full of doubt.

"Time is running out. You have to go," Kaelor said. "I will lend you as much power help as I can but I can't promise much."

Erend and Eccar felt his words sink into their mind. They didn't have all the answers yet but they know that they couldn't afford to fail or those six is will bring a nightmare.

After letting out a helpless sigh, they nodded.

Kaelor stepped back, his form beginning to shimmer as the frozen world around them started to stir. "I'll be watching. But this fight is yours to win."

With that, Kaelor vanished, the battlefield returning to motion as time resumed its relentless march forward.

Erend took a deep breath. Kaelor's words still lingered in his mind, but there was no time to dwell on them now.

"I guess we have to do this first, huh?" Eccar muttered, his tone half resigned and half defiant.

Erend gritted his teeth. Kaelor's vague explanations had left them with more questions than answers. But one thing was clear—those six avatars couldn't be left unchecked.

"We don't have a choice," Erend said. "If those six get whatever power or bodies they're after, they won't stop there. This will not be just about us anymore."

Eccar nodded, his jaw tightening. "Right. Let's move."

The two Dragonborn turned their attention to the black door. Despite its ominous appearance the faint crack in its surface now seemed almost inviting.

They approached the door together. Erend and Eccar exchanged a brief glance. Then reached for the door, gripping its rough edges.

"Ready?" Eccar asked.

"Not really," Erend admitted, his fingers tightening. "But let's do this anyway."

With a unified effort, they pulled. The door resisted, groaning loudly as if it were alive and unwilling to yield to their strength.

For a moment, it felt like it wouldn't budge. But then, with a deafening creak, it began to open wider, spilling a cascade of light that enveloped them.

After Erend and Eccar stepped through the door, they found themselves standing not in a confined chamber but in the middle of huge untamed wilderness.

The sky stretched endlessly above while the land below was a mix of rolling hills, dense forests, and towering mountains. Rivers wove through the landscape.

Erend frowned, glancing at Eccar. "What the... where are we?"

Eccar shook his head. "Definitely not what I expected behind that door."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Before they could take another step, a voice echoed through the air.

"You have entered a time I sealed behind the door. This is the world of the Six Pillars of Dominion – the gods and goddess that just fight you, the place where their dominion began."

The voice was unmistakably Kaelor, the Ashen Tempest Dragon.

"This is their origin. From here, they sought to conquer worlds and spreading their influence and power. I stopped them once and sealed their bodies within this realm but now the seal is broken. They are awakening, and they will finish what they began."

"How do we find them?"Erend asked.

Kaelor's voice grew softer, almost strained.

"You must start looking. My power is weak right now. I cannot pinpoint their locations quickly. But I will do what I can to guide you when I sense them."

Erend glanced at Eccar and nodded.

"Got it," he said.

Both Dragonborns focused, Dragon Wings unfurled.

The two launched into the sky, the ground below shrinking rapidly as they ascended.

"Keep your eyes sharp," Erend.

Eccar nodded.
