Chapter 1: From Shopkeeper to legendary dragon
The night was cold. Frigid winds signifying the approaching winter blew past the lonely streets, carrying a wave of dust and dumping it right on a young man.
’Shit!’ Wise cussed as he fumbled with the keys in his hand.
In front of him stood the only thing he had managed to accomplish in his miserable life, a pawn shop.
That’s right, Wise was a scammer, all pawn shop owners were...
But he was not like the rest! He was not the very scammy type, just the regular scammy type.
After locking up his shop and punching the code into his cheap security system, Wise began his lonely walk home.
Strangely, save for the biting cold which he hated, this was the most pleasant part of the day.
It was around 10 pm so there was little to no noise, traffic was mostly gone— not that he had a car, but it was more peaceful this way.
Taking a shortcut, Wise walked over to the side of the train tracks, a small path that led to his house.
That was when he neared a rumble.
At first, he thought it was his belly— due to an enormous debt, the only thing he ate today was a single donut.
