Marvel: Dragon King

Chapter 16: CH 16: Different Worlds



[Shitori Sona]: I'll try it out.

Sona who was sitting on the bed, took one of her pillows, 'How do I send this?' she asked the Chat Group System.

[Mail]

[Wyrmling]

[Loony Lovegood]

[Huo Yuhao]

[Astrid]

[Choose a member]

When Sona picked Wyrmling in her mind, the pillow on her hand suddenly disappeared, 'Interesting,' she thought as she began to ponder how to persuade other members from the chat group to give her some speciality from their worlds.

[Shitori Sona]: Wyrmling, Did you get what I sent?

[Wyrmling]: I did.

Ragnar examined the pillow in his hands, feeling its softness. 'It's soft, it must be expensive as expected of a princess of a demon clan,' Ragnar thought before looking down on his bed.

A shameless idea popped into his mind.

[Wyrmling]: why don't we test out the limit of how big we can send?

Sona's eyes narrowed as she considered his idea. 'should I send something bigger?'

[Wyrmling]: How about a bed? A soft huge bed.

Sona's lips twitched. 'I shouldn't have sent my pillow,' she thought, then her eyes widened. 'Is he a pervert?' she wondered, before remembering that no one could hurt anyone in the group chat. She looked at the dragon's title with disgust.

[Shitori Sona]: Are you perhaps a pervert?

Ragnar eyes widened reading sona's reply, 'How did I become a pervert?! I just want some free stuff,' he thought making him clench the pillow in his hand tightly, as he felt the softness of the pillow he slowly looked down. "Oh" he muttered.

Ragnar quickly raised his head and defended himself. Rather than be called a pervert, he chose to be shameless.

[Wyrmling]: An unused soft big bed.

[Wyrmling]: I just destroyed my bed when I became a dragon.

[Shitori Sona]: ....

[Shitori Sona]: Okay but can I get my pillow back first.

Suddenly the pillow appeared on Sona's hand as she released a sigh, "Just think about it as a way to make friends," she murmured before walking out the door to call a maid to prepare an unused bed.

•-----•-----•-----•-----•

Meanwhile, in Berk, Astrid slipped through the rowdy crowd of Vikings, sneaking quietly before running toward the barn. Knowing there wouldn't be anyone inside, she was excited to discover the other things she got from the Gift Pack.

Unbeknownst to her, she had caught someone's attention.

Hiccup, who had been sneaking glances at Astrid, saw her darting away. He looked at his father, who was busy drinking with other Vikings, then slipped away as well, following Astrid, curious about why she was running.

Astrid pushed open the barn door, looking inside. She saw only yaks, sheep, and chickens. A smile spread across her face as she entered.

Just as she was about to check the items from the Gift Pack, the Chat Group displayed the Mail function.

Intrigued, Astrid decided to try it out. She looked around the barn and focused on a sheep.

With a smile, Astrid held the sheep's two horns. She wanted to send it to Wyrmling, knowing that dragons always ate sheep when they attacked Berk.

[You can't send anything Alive.]

"Meeeh," The sheep looked at Astrid with curiosity, unaware it was so close to being sacrificed for fun.

Astrid patted the sheep's head. "Pity," she muttered. She couldn't continue her plan to irritate the dragon so she focused her attention on the Gift Pack.

[Mutated Bewilderbeast Egg]

[Identification]

[Do you wish to Accept]

[Yes/No]

"Yes," Astrid answered in her mind. A black egg with white spikes suddenly appeared in front of her. She quickly caught it with her hand, but its spikes could not even leave a scratch on her Asgardian skin.

'What is this?' Astrid wondered, lifting the egg closer to her face, inspecting it closely. "Is this a dragon egg?" she guessed, considering its size.

[Identification Turning On... 3... 2... 1]

Astrid used Identification on the egg, wanting to know more.

[Mutated Bewilderbeast Egg]: A mutated egg of one of the strongest dragons in the world, making its potential limitless.

[Bound: Astrid Hofferson]: The hatched Bewilderbeast is connected to Astrid Hofferson in life and death.

Astrid's eyes widened. She discovered that it was from one of the strongest dragons in the world. Her face twisted into a frown, unsure how to feel about it.

"Can I send this thing to the others?" she asked the system, thinking it would be better for another dragon to take care of it.

[No, the egg is bound to you. It won't hatch if you don't want it to.]

Astrid sighed before looking at the egg in her hand with complicated emotions. She didn't know what to do with it.

[Viking Warrior]: It's a pity. Only items can be sent, otherwise, I'd send you a sheep and a dragon egg.

[Wyrmling]: First of all, don't compare me to the wild dragons in your world. And where do you even get a dragon egg?

Without Astrid even mentioning his name, Ragnar knew she was referring to him.

Ragnar thought about where she could possibly get a dragon egg. 'Did she get it from the Gift Pack?' he wondered, as he became curious about what the others received.

[Viking Warrior]: I got it from the Gift Pack. It's a Bewilderbeast egg. Maybe if it hatches, it'll be stronger than you.

Astrid sneered, then stopped, focusing on the chat group. She realized she'd skipped over a very important information.

[Shitori Sona]: Looks like I wasn't the only one to figure out that everyone is from a different world. That's good. I wouldn't have to explain it to everyone.

[Shitori Sona]: Wyrmling, the bed that you want is already prepared. Should I send it to you?

[Wyrmling]: Wait!

Ragnar stood up from his mattress in shock. He hadn't expected Sona to actually send him a bed. He was embarrassed but it quickly disappeared.

'Shame, could I eat that?' Ragnar thought, shaking his head. He looked down at his bed, knowing he had to remove it first.

Then Ragnar eyes gleamed with a not-so-bright idea.

[Viking Warrior]: Wait, what do you guys mean, from a different world?

Astrid asked with doubt. She thought the group members were just from different parts of the world. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the egg.

[Shitori Sona]: Quite literally, I must say. Everyone here lives in another world, different from each other.

[Wyrmling]: In my world, Vikings have already disappeared, and there are no dragons flying around. 

[Shitori Sona]: Another example is how there are Soul Rings in Huo Yuhao's World, but ours does not.

Sona explained, careful not to use herself as an example. After all, she couldn't reveal that she lived in the underworld and was a demon. She knew how biased the world was against demons like her.

[Wyrmling]: Yeah, what she says is right.

Ragnar nodded in agreement. He was grateful that someone like Sona was in the Chat Group and could explain things more clearly than he could.

[Loony Lovegood]: Are guys not from Earth?

Luna asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she looked at the Chat Group.

[Wyrmling]: I'm from Earth, but a different Earth, another one.

[Wyrmling]: Sona, you can send it to me now.

"Mom, are there other worlds? Another Earth?" Luna asked, confusion clouding her face.

"Why do you ask that, honey?" Pandora said as she continued writing a letter to her husband, urging him to return home immediately.

"The Dragon said that every member lives in a different world, and he lives on another Earth," Luna explained, confused. She only knew the basic knowledge of planets and Earth.

Pandora, who was writing, broke the tip of her quill as she turned, looking at her daughter in shock.

At the same time, in the Sitri Clan Mansion, Sona clenched her fist, veins popping on her forehead. 'This Dragon is more shameless than I thought,' she thought, looking at the destroyed bed that materialized in front of her.

Meanwhile, inside his room, Ragnar jumped onto his new luxurious bed, which occupied most of the space. He rolled around, oblivious to the world, enjoying his newfound comfort.

[Son of Plane]: What does it mean for us?

Huo Yuhao asked, clenching his fist. He understood that even if he asked for help, they wouldn't be able to provide it.

[Shitori Sona]: It only means that the Chat Group System allows us to have more opportunities than we could imagine.

[Shitori Sona]: That's why, Astrid, don't let the other Vikings cloud your judgment on what you received from the Gift Pack.

[Shitori Sona]: Since you are already different from them the moment you join the chat group, you don't have to hate dragons.

Sona advised, not wanting Astrid to waste the Dragon Egg. She knew from her own experience how precious the items in the Gift Pack were.

At the same time, Sona wanted Astrid and the Dragon Ragnar to be more accepting of each other, otherwise, their constant fighting would damage the Chat Group atmosphere.

[Viking Warrior]: I know.

Astrid looked at the egg in her hands, her emotions stirring. She knew Sona was right; she was meant to be different from other Vikings.

Astrid remembered how the grown-ups had thought she was a god's champion because of what she got from the Gift Pack.

Then, the Chat Group System appeared.

[Do you want to hatch it?]

[Yes/No]

'Yes,' Astrid answered, and the Bewilderbeast egg in her hand vanished. A timer appeared in her vision.

[23:59]

"Enough for me to find a place to hide the dragon tomorrow," Astrid whispered as she left the barn, heading back to the celebration before anyone noticed she was gone. But then, she saw a boy the same age as her lying on the grass.

"What are you doing?" Astrid asked curiously, looking at the boy who was gasping for breath.

"A–Astrid, I was looking for you," Hiccup whispered, shocked to see Astrid suddenly appear. When he had tried to follow her earlier, he hadn't been able to catch up because of her speed.

"What?" Astrid asked, frowning, not hearing Hiccup's whisper.

"No, I mean, I'm looking at the stars," Hiccup said hastily, pointing towards the sky. He remembered he wasn't supposed to say that he had been following her.

Astrid followed his finger, looking up. She saw that it was cloudy, it was impossible to see any stars tonight.

Astrid glanced back at Hiccup with a questioning look before shaking her head, and started walking again whispering, "Weirdo,"
