Chapter 334: Dragons [#1]
Lying completely naked in the sand, Alrik Oystæindottir, the newly reincarnated man, smiled. "Ah..." He wasn't ashamed of his nakedness, mostly because there was no living human in a range of hundreds of kilometers or so away from him, well, and who cares if Dragons can see your cock? Unless they're trying to eat it, Alrik simply did not care for their eyes.
Being dropped into this world with a system, he was eager to start his new life and get what he always wanted: love, riches, and sex! What? He isn't some naive hero who seeks justice in this world. No, he is a greedy, greedy man who seeks power and money! "Hm... System? Quest? Status?"

'Hm...' Alrik hummed inside his own mind before turning to look at his surroundings. It was a sandy beach... "What did that old guy say again?" He was given the unique skill of being able to release the aura of an Alpha Dragon, like a Bewilderbeast, release this hypnotic sound from his throat that makes it so he can communicate to other Dragons. He was given this power by this old guy who looked like Morgan Freeman before being unceremoniously thrown into the fucking gutter that was the reincarnation cycle.
And here he is.
"Come to me, my children." Alpha Dragons are the highest authority a Dragon can have in their herd or society. Many dragons naturally follow their Alpha's orders and listen to them. This skill makes him an alpha in body, mind, and soul! Meaning? He is built to be dominant but also caring, rough but also gentle, and be domineering but also leading, be the leader and father figure. A flock of small lizards with pale orange-brown skin and scales flew towards him, and his eyes immediately glowed with understanding as a screen appeared before his eyes:
[Fireworm Swarm - Lvl 65
Class: Stoker
Description: Common Fireworms are only about a few inches in length. They have hexagonal orangish-brown scales that glow a bright golden orange color when lit up. They also have five pairs of legs for a total of ten legs and white eyes that glow in the dark. They strongly resemble lizards, with their wide heads and long bodies. When they ignite, they glow orange and sometimes even light their bodies on fire.
Abilities: Hive Mentality, Ignite, Firecomb Gel Production.]
The swarm that flew towards him was small compared to the whole colony they lived with, and knowing there were some Fireworms here meant that either they had a colony in the island or they were migrating! "Seeing as the whole island isn't on fire, their migration must've just started then." He has watched the Movie of How to Train your Dragon and watched a few episodes of Race to the Edge too, knowledge of the behaviors of some dragons are deeply embedded inside his mind too.
Fireworms are interesting Dragons actually. Unlike any other species, they are unique in terms of physiology and social structure. The average Fireworm is a small drone, known for their tendency to set things on fire by touch. But all these drones are servants of one singular Dragon they call their Queen.
What differentiates the Queen from her drones is access to a particular hormonal exudate known as 'Drottning' which is only secreted by a Fireworm Queen from glands under her tongue. Any female larva that is fed Drottning as she develops will grow many times the size and power of a Drone, and mature into a Queen, capable of laying eggs and producing her own Drottning. This is the only method by which new hives of Fireworms are spawned. It happens so infrequently that Fireworm hives are quite uncommon in nature. It is one theory that suggests that Drottning can also be used to reignite Stoker class Dragons when their internal fires are waning, but this theory is contested by factions who believe it is the Fireworm Queen's venom that has this property. A Plain Fireworm Queen is 80-90' long and weighs between 6 - 8,000, lbs. Her intense body heat has the power to ignite any flammable material she touches. To maintain this intensity of energy output, she eats a constant diet of Firecomb Gel, a high energy food made by the Drones with health giving properties. Her tongue contains a lashing sting infused with enough deadly venom to kill most animals with a single stroke. She is highly intelligent and territorial.
That's what he knows of these dragons.
...what? He was obsessed with How to Train your Dragon when he was a kid, okay? Even more so with Snotlout, the himbo in him did things to his little teenager stomach. 'Maybe that's why I like idiots...?' Food for thought, huh? "Take me to your queen, little ones." As he spoke, his voice vibrated through the air, making the small swarm of Fireworms fly around him in a circle before flying towards their Queen. Although not intelligent at all, these little ones seem to have some sort of understanding for orders, seeing as they followed his orders without error! They took him towards the sea, which made sense... They must've come from another island huh? 'Well, that was dumb of me.' He wanted to see the Fireworm Queen, but he didn't consider that maybe, just maybe, they weren't here yet! 'But if they come here, this whole island will be set on fire, and I live here now...' So what did he say? "All of you, but this one, go back to your queen... This route isn't safe for her to come."
The scouts flew back, all but one scout that he kept. The little one was there not as a defender or as a soldier but as a pet and as a fire maker! He can't make fire, he doesn't know how to, and fire is essential for his survival. "I should try this..." He placed his hand upon the small Fireworm and willed it, his mind pushing against the boundaries of his imagination and... Nothing. "Fuck." What else can Alpha Dragons do? They are able to issue commands on other dragons, their fighting abilities are strong, and they have high authority amongst dragons... 'Fly above me.' He didn't speak, but he focused and thought as he looked at the small Fireworm on top of his left shoulder, the little thing lifted its wings and flew right above him, which was awesome! He didn't make any noise, so this means he can mentally communicate and order dragons around.
Ah, he also found a [Options] function of the System! There weren't many options. There were only [Costumization] to make his system screen like he wants it to be! He put it in [Dark Mode] because honestly, he doesn't like the other options... The other function was the [Music] button!
It played music.
That's it.
[I Can't Stop - The Loneliness!]
[Koraekirezu Kanashimi ga tomaranai~!]
[I CAN'T STOP THE LONELINESS]
[Doushite na no kanashimi ga tomaranai~]
"Ah... Good music." Thankfully, he could make so the music only played inside his head or outside for everyone to hear. Sadly, it didn't play anything other than music because anything not categorized as music would simply not play at all! He was enjoying some good Japanese songs as he released waves and waves of his [Alpha] skill to make sure there were other dragons around, the vibes he was putting on were peaceful and non-threatening ones, to make sure other dragons would not feel threatened by his presence. "That must be inviting enough?" He muttered to himself as [More than a Woman] started to play inside his head at a volume that it was no more than background music inside his head.
He heard a bunch of noise in the bush beside him, turning to look he saw this large monster of a dragon limping. It had this pale blue iron bear-like trap to their enormous paw, the trap to be covered in blue lava, but what caught most of Alrik were these enormous moose-like antlers on top of the dragon's head.
'Oh?'
[Crimson Goregutter Lvl 80]
Sex: Male
{Status: Injuried, Poisoned, Bleeding}
[Crimson Goregutters are massive in size and carry an unbelievable amount of strength, helping them destroy anything in its path when feeling opposed. Mighty as they are, these creatures are loyal to their Alpha and caring to those who they consider their friends. Though they may not be one of the fastest dragons around, don't be fooled as their size is their gift, and you can spot a Crimson Goregutter from miles away!
These unique dragons are born with enormous antlers used as weaponry in battle and a shocking axe-like tail; enemies don't stand a chance against them! They have incredible ear-spitting calls, which they use to communicate with others from a far way distance. These roaring calls come in handy whenever reinforcements are needed.
Although Goregutters have impressive sets of antlers and axe-shaped tails, they are gentler than they appear and like to be left in peace. In battle, however, they have the ability to spew molten lava onto their antlers before ramming opponents with fiery force.

"Oh no." Alrik took a few steps forward towards the poor dragon. The trap on his large stubby paw was large and strong enough to truly hurt the poor baby: "Come here..." He didn't know what exactly he could do to help, but he knew that at least he could try! Human ingenuity was, after all, endless.
