[VRMMO] Dead One

<<Should I restore the memories of the dragon king?>>

<<Honestly I don't know.>>

<<The potion is already being produced and it shouldn't take them too long to produce and deliver the potion in time before some random chaos would start breaking loose here.>>

<<…>>

<<But I don't know if the dragon king of Wumi clan can be truly trusted.>>

<<I mean, SURE!>>

<<He is 100% victim!>>

<<But I don't know the whole true story!>>

<<What if he is the true culprit?>>

<<I don't know…. And so, I went and checked it.>>

<<I investigated Wumi clan once again, this time aiming to discover if they were doing anything shady behind everybody's back way back before the whole mine was discovered.>>

<<…But I couldn't find anything.>>

<<From what I've had gathered, it really looks like the relationship between the two clans was beyond perfect.>>

<<No matter where I looked, it was…. Well? Just friendly.>>

<<I even tried doing some illegally stuff in order to obtain info about the two clans past, but nothing was really working.>>

<<I then thought about maybe using history as my clue, trying to find if there was anything like disagreement or somewhat conflict between the two clans in the past… There were some, but not something beyond dramatic where both clans were ready to straight up murder each other like animals.>>

<<I couldn't find anything, even when the cure was already created by the witches and the delivery process began.>>

<<Still, I didn't gave up.>>

<<I looked bit more about the clans, about hostiles and friendship between the dragon empire clans that had these two specific clans involved.>>

<<But no direct leads.>>

<<Nothing.>>

<<…>>

<<And then it came.>>

<<The cure.>>

"The witches said that the cure will work by just drinking it." – said LM as he was the one who delivered the cure to Oron personally.

"Thanks…" – said Oron as he took the vail of greenish glowing liquid from LM's hand.

<<Welp, shit.>>

<<What now?>>

<<I mean, I have the cure, I don't really need to give it yet.>>

<<…>>

<<But again, I don't know how much time I have until the chaos will break loose… I will have to investigate the fiancé.>>

<<And this is a big MUST!>>

<<Ability to manipulate NPCs memories? And maybe even make them go mad?>>

<<NOPE! THANK YOU, BUT I AIN'T LETTING THAT BITCH ON THE LOOSE!>>

<<Who know what could happened if there would be somebody out there causing that kind of chaos!>>

<<A hidden weapon?>>

<<Nope… I'm saying this again and again, nope fucking means NOPE!>>

<<I need to deal with this fucking bitch.>>

<<…And so, I headed back to the dragon king of the Wumi clan, in order to give him this medicine.>>

<<This time I really didn't needed to sneak in…. But something was… Different?>>

(The hell is going on here?) – thought Oron as he entered the royal castle ground and noticed the way the people were acting… Tired, nervous and what not… People were agitated by something.

(I guess the dragon king did something… But did he told them?)

(If he did, then he is a fool… Then again, would he really without know who could be traitor here?)

(…Either way, that idiot must had done something.) – thought Oron as he arrived in front of the massive pair of doors once again, before then passing through them and arriving at the massive field once again, where the dragon king was once again in his true form.

"I told you! Not bother…." – said the dragon king before stopping and turning around as he sniffed Oron's scent.

"It's you." – said the dragon king as he turned around and transformed his body into elf once again.

(Jeez… He ain't good.) – thought Oron as he noticed extremely dark bags underneath the dragon's eyes.

"Is it true? Do you have it?" – asked the dragon king as without waiting for the reply instantly began heading towards Oron.

"Yeb. I have it here." – said Oron as he took out the memory restoring drug from his inventory, which was then instantly snatched by the dragon king.

"So, what you are saying is that this drug will cause my dormant memories, the ones that got erased, to be resurfaced?"

"The side effect will be a powerful headache and you may have somewhat unpleasant experience if you had lost a large amount of memories." – said Oron as he was once against in his disguised lizardman form.

"…" – the dragon king sniffed the potion.

(It doesn't look like it is poisoned.) – thought the dragon king as he finished his inspection.

"How long it will take for my memories to be restored?" – asked the dragon king.

"Between 6 to 24 hours." – said Oron.

"Restoring all memories at once could apparently be extremely dangerous, so the potion was made in a way that memories would be gradually restored over time."

"There is also a question how much memories you had lost."

"Still, are you sure about drinking it? I mean, you definitely still don't trust me, but-"

"Fuck it." – said the dragon king as he opened up the potion, before then just drinking the entire content of the potion in single go.

"?!"

(He just drank it like that?) – thought surprised Oron.

"…"

"I don't feel anything." – said the dragon king.

"And I've told you, the memory restoration cannot be rushed, or you could fry your brain." – said Oron.

"Let's wait."

<<Well, there was also a question if he will tell me the truth.>>

<<But maybe…. No.>>

<<He will tell me.>>

<<Desperation.>>

<<While waiting for the potion effect to start fully kicking in, I noticed how desperate and impatient that man was.>>

<<If anything, ever since I stepped foot in this castle once again, I could clearly tell how much the atmosphere has changed.>>

<<This man… No, this entire clan was living in depression ever since that incident.>>

<<The clan went poor.>>

<<The dragon prince with the brightest future was executed by his own people against anybody's will.>>

<<And that guy, the dragon king's wife just left him after he had killed his son.>>

<<That man was filled with despair.>>

<<But now?>>

<<He had some light.>>

<<It wasn't some acting or anything.>>

<<Nah.>>

<<This man straight up broken already and he just snapped the moment he realized the truth.>>

<<That everything he knew may had been a lie.>>

<<Honestly speaking, he was acting quiet annoying, waiting as the potion effect started kicking in.>>

<<…Until one point, where he suddenly snapped.>>

"…Oh boy." – said Oron as he stared at the dragon king, just sitting down on the rock while the plants around him started being mutated by his mana… But it was far worst compare to before, as the mutation rate was not only affecting the much larger area, but the speed of mutation was also alarmingly fast.

(I guess the potion effect hit him finally… And he is starting to remember some nasty shit.) – thought as he waited without saying anything, while the area around the dragon king was mutation more and more, to even a point where the dragon king had some trouble stabilizing his elven form, resulting in scales and even horns growing from his humanoid form.

"…"

"I remember." – said the dragon king as he stood up, revealing his partially transformed dragon elven hybrid face.

"You sure?" – asked Oron.

"YES! I'M FUCKING SURE!" – shouted the dragon king as his humanoid form broke further, reaving his wings and tail without any control.

"I remember that bitch's face! I FUCKING REMEMBER IT!"

[Over 6 years ago.]

"Honey, are you sure about this?" – asked the woman in green and white dress as she approached the dragon king.

"Of course, my beloved." – said the dragon king of Wumi clan as he and the dragon queen were standing in the middle of the massive field inside of the castle.

"I know that our son, Mu'gan, should have his own choice in this matter."

"In few years, Mu'gan will be official crowned as the new king of the Wumi clan."

"However, there is an obvious problem."

"He still doesn't have any fiancé."

"I know, I know… He should make that decision himself…. But again, he is…. Well?"

"Unserious in matters of love?" – asked dragon queen.

"I mean, there is no denning it."

"He doesn't really seems to be interested in love of any kind right now."

"He doesn't have some female friends, but they are just friends."

"Yeah… And that is a problem with this guy." – said annoyed dragon king.

"There are a lot of mates he can take… And yet, he dares to not choose even one…."

"Honestly, if I let him chose one at this point, he may just choose some random ass woman."

"…"

"True… It would be troublesome." – said the dragon queen.

"But still, maybe we should talk with him about this?"

"That is what I'm planning to do." – said dragon king.

"That matters involves him, so obviously he will be needed here."

"…"

"Still… Where the hell is that brat?!"

"He should had been here 2 days ago!"

"Did he went on one of those parties again?!"

"I don't think so… I've asked the guards and-" – as the dragon queen was about to tell his husband about his findings, a two guards suddenly entered the room.

"Excuse me, your majesties." – said the lizardman knight.

"But your son, prince Mu'gan is requesting a meeting."

"Huh… He finally showed himself up?" – said the dragon king.

"Although, why is he requesting a meeting anyway?"

"Em… About that…." – said the lizardman knight.

"He wants you to meet his future fiancé?"
