17 Mindscape
Adam was different, he stayed there as he analysed his surroundings and tried to get what was going on, after he heard the Dragon's words, he could deduce that the Dragon didn't have any intention to harm him yet.
It was better to know about the place and the dragon, how it came into existence and how it entered his body. It would let him get to know this world better and maybe it could also let him re-organize his memories.
There was one information which made Adam smirk 'This dragon doesn't seem to know that I have come from other world. It means that it can't read my thoughts and it also can't see what I am doing in the real life. It basically knows nothing and sleeps here and wastes it's time. An unexpected situation which is favourable to me, it would have been annoying if the Dragon could read my thoughts and see what I do in real life.'
'It would have been able to form a theory with my phone and the conversation that I have. It's a good thing that it is ignorant and I try and keep it this way.' Adam thought out as he glanced at the Dragon and motioned for it to continue speaking.
The Dragon nodded at the signal as it's rough voice spread in the area, "As for the reason why I am here. You are the one who created me… No, it would be correct to say that you evolved me from my previous form into this."
Adam's eyes narrowed at the revelation as he understood the things that he was confused about 'If what the Dragon is saying is the truth and that it evolved from a lower form then it's no surprise that it doesn't have any pride. It seems as if it carries the character it held before but it's power has gone off the charts.'
He put his hands under his chin as he deeply thought about this Martial Spirit 'So, this is a Martial Spirit huh. This term isn't unfamiliar to me, not just from the novels from Earth but from the jumbled memories of this guy. So… This Dragon will help me cultivate after a certain point huh.'
The Dragon glanced at him with a look that didn't quite match it's domineering image, it reminded him of Adam's cat back at Earth which would make that face when it wanted to be patted. 'Still, seeing that dumb look on a dragon is really strange… Does it also wants to be patted?'
Adam stopped his thoughts as he compared the heights of the Dragon and himself, he realized he couldn't reach that height even if it wanted to. The Dragon also noted this and made a pitiful expression as it felt that the god was too unfair to it which made Adam think 'Why the heck are you making such a pitiful expression? Even if you are a Dragon evolved out a lizard, you should have your own pride. Where the fuck is that pride, in the trash can?'
The dragon didn't seem to notice his gaze as it lowered its head in disappointment and let out a sigh, it started to speak once again, "You are considered as someone like my father, you've technically given birth to me, so you do not have to worry about me breaking off here."
Now, this sentence made Adam even more suspicious of the Dragon, he didn't need to say anything to indicate that he was still suspicious of the Dragon, just the cold gaze in his eyes was enough.
"First of all, I'm literally part of you, if you are gone then so I am. As for this place, it is inside your mindscape, everything here is under your control." The Dragon continued to speak without any hesitation.
Adam simply glanced at the surrounding as he lowly whistled 'Heh… So I can do anything here and it's completely under my control huh.'
He stared at the Dragon as he thought out 'Let's try it then… Dragon, fly' Suddenly, a mysterious force started to push the Dragon up in the sky, the chain holding the dragon tensed as it tried to hold the Dragon but it didn't stop the Dragon from flying in the sky.
'Drop down!' This was the next command that he whispered within himself, he was surprising when that exact same situation happened right in front of his eyes. The Dragon dropped back on the ground…
Adam's eyes widened in surprise, before he let out a shit eating grin and started playing with his imagination, in the next moment, a white Lamborghini appeared some meters over his head. "Shit!"
He frowned immediately and threw himself away from the danger zone, letting the car fall down at the location where he was standing before.
The Dragon was watching all this as it thought 'Couldn't father just control that object so that it would fall somewhere else? it looks like my father is not very bright…' It even sighed at the end of its thoughts as if it was tired of carrying its useless father.
If another person saw this exchange, they would think that the Dragon was the one taking care of the human. It was almost impossible to imagine that the Dragon was the 'son' formed through Human.
After playing with Lamborghini, he imagined a Chocolate Ice-cream to appear in his hand and started to lick it, with a fake happy expression he spoken with a sarcastic, "Ahhh… A chocolate Ice-cream is the best, if it had even a taste… Fucking imaginary taste buds... Now, right, where were we? Right, I wanted to ask you, how did you evolve? I mean, what was the trigger?"
The Dragon thought for a minute before it remembered the time of its evolution from a lizard, it cleared up it's throat and started to speak, "I do not know the exact situation but I was evolved due to an excessive amount of Death Aura here. I do not know how or why but you had attracted an excess of Death aura which assisted me in my evolution."
"Death Aura huh… interesting." Was all Adam spoke as he tried to think of a possible theory as to why it must have happened. After thinking for some time, he made some theories but all of them lacked proof and were only possible in an extremely ideal situation.
His questions didn't come to a stop though, "Alright then, the last thing. You said that this was my mind scape, then tell me, how do I clear up my memories? I feel as if my memories have been jumbled up, how to re-organize them?"
The Dragon just answered with a normal tone, "Turn to left and walk forward, you should find out a big shelf with books numbered from 1 to 16. When you touch them, you should know what to do"
Adam shrugged as he turned towards the left and did see a big shelf with books numbered from 1 to 16. He neared the shelf as he grabbed hold of the book number 1 and thought 'Now whaAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT!!'
Suddenly, he felt as if his brain was being bombarded by a bunch of memories, the memories from the point of a Toddler. He was short on breath as he started to breathe more and more aggressively…
'So, this was what he meant when he said that I will know what to do… These memories were useless for me. Looks like I need to be smart in this, there is no point in having the memories from when he was a toddler, let's see the memories from the time Alex was a 5 year old kid.' Adam was smart enough to realize that the memories of the kid lower than 5 year old wouldn't benefit him at all, it would just give him free torture…
He wasn't stupid enough or desperate enough for that yet, he directly stepped towards the book number 5, before grabbing that book, he took in a deep breath as he readied himself for the upcoming memories.
It was better to know about the place and the dragon, how it came into existence and how it entered his body. It would let him get to know this world better and maybe it could also let him re-organize his memories.
