Chapter 2: Transported to the endless continent
"Wow, I've never had such a realistic dream"
The youth could not help but exclaim after looking around inside the rundown castle.
„Though calling it a castle can already be considered singing high praise."
The youth currently sat in what seemed like a wooden hall. Fixing his eyes on the large door in the center of one of the walls he got up and prepared himself to explore this ‚dream' of his.
After stepping outside he was greeted with scorching sunlight shining directly into his eyes.
„Ah, I didn't know you can get blinded by sunlight in your dreams."
He was already pretty certain that this was more than just a realistic dream. After all his senses are no different than when he is awake.
After using his hand to shield his eyes from sunlight he got a better look and a forest presented itself in front of him.
„This seems like the border of a forest."
Behind him he saw the beginning of a somewhat hilly region.
„Weird, a certain radius around that castle seems unnaturally flattened. It's like a indicator that this is the castles territory."
Before he could ponder deeper about this toppic though he suddenly heard a sound followed by an AI-like voice.
[Ding, ding! Welcome otherworldly Lords to the endless continent.]
[You probably have a lot of questions so I'll give you a basic rundown of your current situation.]
[You will be partaking a faire and just competition about survival and fight for greater power.]
[This continent is divided in 5 Large regions with all Lords being transported in a random location of the 4 outer Regions (North, South, East, West)]
[This competition will involve manny different races and natives of this continent.]
[To start things off every Lord received a castle to protect your castleheart and a random unit recruitment building.]
[For the next 7 days your castle will enter the beginner protection period making it impossible for any wild monster or hostile unit to enter in a certain range around your castle.]
[May all your paths be filled with the greatest blessings]
„This...This is either a very bad joke or i've read so many novels lately that even my dreams are affected."
He could not help but think this was a dream again because of this unreal situation.
However, maybe because youths these day are numbed of this type of scenario due to all the transmigration novels out there but although he was a bit surprised, he had no exaggerated reaction to the words he just heard.
„Are all the other Lords mentioned from earth, and if yes were all people transported?"
Although he just mumbled this question to himself there was again a sound followed by the same AI-like voice.
[Ding, ding! All Lords originate from the same world and encompass all ages between 18 and 60]
All humans between 18 and 60 years old means that about half of earths human population or rounded 4 billion humans were transported to this world to partake this competition.
Following the first announcement by the ‚system' some basic information about different panels and how to control them was send directly into his brain so he made use of that to first check on his own status.
[Castle Lord: Alberu Darkheart]
[Alias: not yet determined]
[Strength: Tier-0]
[Castle: Basic Castle]
[Buildings: 1 random military structure, 1 Warehouse]
[Military units: none]
[Energy Stones: 0]
[Energy Crystals: 0]
[Equipment: none]
___________________________________
Looking at his strength Alberu couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows a little thinking whether it would be higher if he'd done more strengh training prior to being sent here.
A moment later he fixed his sight on his alias and after short deliberation he said a name.
„I want to designate ‚Dark' as my alias."
[Are you sure? The alias is what will be visible in trading sites, chat as well as system notifications about you in the future and cannot be changed whitin the next 30 days]
[Confirm alias: Yes/No]
„Yes"
[Alias confirmed]
Since he already named his alias next on his list was naturally naming his castle as well therefore he opened up his castles panel.

[Selecting ‚Darkheart' as castle name...]
[ Confirm castle name: Yes/No]
„Yes"
[Castle name confirmed]
„Since this competition has the buildup of a strategy game I really shouldn't waste more time than this and find out what my starter unit will be."
After making up his mind Dark walked to a shining building near his castle.
„Inspect"
[Starter unit recruitment building]
[Do you want to draw your building?]
„Yes"
[Ding, ding...]
[Congratulation for obtaining your starter unit and good luck in your future endeavors]
[Recruitment building: Dragon nest (unique)]

„Pffft"
After staring blankly at the info panel of his starter units for a few moments Drak had to put his hand above his mouth to somehow muffle his hearty laughter.
Thereafter he fell into deep contemplation.
„Hmm, I don't think I can remember ever saving a country, so what's with this luck?"
Dark couldn't help but think he was extremely lucky because although he doesn't have any real facts to prove it here on this world but based on earth's myths and story's no matter where one looked dragons occupied a very high standing in both power and reputation. Wether it be the good reputation in the east or the reputation as bringers of death and destruction in the west both are still told to be powerful beings.
„Well there's no better way but to test it by hatching one."
[Currently able to hatch 1 dragon egg, do you want to hatch?]
[Yes/No]
„Yes, hatch it."
Rumble!!
Dark saw that after confirming the hatching the sole 2m high dragon egg in his dragon nest began to wiggle to and fro as if whatever is inside couldn't wait to see the outside world.
Rumble! Rumble!
A few small rumblings from the dragon nest later the dragon egg began to emit cracking sound whilst also shining a dazzling bright golden light.
After a few minutes the golden glow started to die down and Dark could finally see what's happening again.
„This...."
Dark was speechless observing the golden bundle of dragon scales curled up in front of him.
As if noticing his gaze the bundle began to move and soon what stood before Dark was a majestic 6m big golden dragon with his 4 legs on the ground and his 2 massive wings casting a big shadow on the ground.
Roooooar!
Along with the roar of a superior species Dark could clearly feel his neck hair rising.
„My Lord"
Having released his roar of joy at being born the dragon lowered his head just above the ground in the direction of Dark and called out with certain affection one would have towards those that grant you birth.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Sero4K
Sero4K Eh... if you feel like this wn has many similarities with other works than your right because the only reason that I started this novel in the first place is because of the bad inconsistency and translation of other novels with the same template. But being my first novel I will definitely also make mistakes here and there so please bear with me
