The dark dragon

Life is pretty unfair and the knife sticking out of my chest is another proof of that to me.

Life was going so good recently graduated from college and gaining a good pay job in my dad's company where I would make around 850k a year. All that was taken away because some crazy hobo decided to stab me out of nowhere.

Now I said, lay on the floor bleeding out I think bitterly about my life I was always privileged good luck a rich family and I was smart. I live a pretty privileged life, the biggest stress in my life was what movie I was gonna watch.

I didn't have to worry about money or anything similar like food or shelter I never had to think about that.

I knew for a fact I was privileged but honestly, at the time I could've cared less I wasn't in the 99% of the population. My whole family was in the 1% and we could indulge in anything we wanted.

But all the money in the world could not save me as I bleed out on the floor, I should look pathetic right now.

At least you are self-aware

The Voice said in my head, I'm now having delusions, I thought looking at my as the blow slowly came out of my body.

As I was thinking about this I appeared in what seemed like a black room lifting my head slowly I could see vividly a man sitting on a throne I couldn't see some of his features all I could see was his intense purple eyes.

Who are you I ask looking at the man in front of me who simply smiles at me.

I have many names but you can just call me Zephyrus simply do you want to live do you want to get a second chance?

As the man spoke, I could simply scoff at the idea, what's the catch no one does anything for free in this world, especially someone that can revive people you so simply seeing as he smirks back at you.

Aren't you a smart kid but yeah you wouldn't be coming back to this world you would be brought back in a different world with a little cheat obviously.

Why you ask, looking at the man in front of you the idea of coming back to life was tempting, but something was telling him that this was not such a simple deal.

Trust me kid I'm not trying to trick you mostly because you're not even my first choice but back to that humor me except and you will be sent to a New World with a "system" and have a second chance to live in exchange I simply want entertainment fuck shit up get laid do whatever you want as long you entertain me in your journey you'll be free to do what you want.

Taking it through my head honestly I still thought I was just hallucinating but if I was gonna die, why the hell not, fine I accepted I said, immediately feeling my body rip itself apart and a dark hole appearing under me.

Well, I can't let you go in that body have to fix you up a little bit it's going to be interesting creating your background in that world anyway I hope you're fun little Artorius.

- Artorius -

System loading

Background already pre-selected 

Current host Artorius

In a black void I saw those words in front of me, another pop-up appeared.

History: Artorius Pendragon the second son of the king of Camelot Uther Pendragon and young brother of Arthur Pendragon the heir to the throat and morgan the first born daughter of the king Artorius for a very young age shown to have a talent with swords and has the power that most Pendragon lost through the generations the ability to communicate and domesticate dragons.

Currently Artorius has a small castle With some small villagers around given by his father due to being the second son he won't inherit anything once his father dies.

I didn't even get to think anything else after I read it, and I immediately felt my eyes opening up looking at the wooden ceiling.

Immediately, I feel a drastic change looking down I was wearing a black armor getting up not only that but I feel much energized slowly, removing parts of my armor I can see the muscles showing in my body just for this feeling it was worth whatever the hell he sold himself into.

Skill Gained

[Observe (minor)]

Provides information on objects targeted

The system seems like those shitty systems stories but there was only one thing that confused me two of the most central abilities of the gamer are missing.

No gamer mind or body I didn't even get the full version of observe.

The three completed versions of those skills are too overpowered and besides, you don't need them in the long run.

Eh, well if you say so but is this gonna be a regular thing are you just gonna spy on me all the time?

No trust me you're not that interesting I'll just watch the recordings when I get bored.

The last part really did not make him feel comfortable, but he wasn't going to argue against a person that literally revived him and probably is infinitely stronger than him.

Even now with the memories he has of his body and the skills he doubted he could ever face against that guy.

Doesn't matter, I thought to myself getting up this world was pretty interesting his country was in the continent of Britannia what are the seven continents of the world?

Five of these continents were sealed 3000 years ago at the end of the holy war against the demons and the other races, Giants, goddess, fairies and human against the demons.

It honestly sounds like the other races just jump the demons And then claim to be the good guys afterwards, well I guess it doesn't matter I doubt there getting free anytime soon so I don't have to worry about that.

Moving on, I get up from my comfortable seat and leave my office the servant just watched as I slowly leap the building they understand not to ask questions one of the butlers asked too many questions and got publicly executed by the original host of the body.

Yeah, that world is brutal.

Not like he didn't expect that from a fucking medieval world as he was walking, he decided to take a look on the sword he had in his waist as he use observe on it he could feel the information being drained into his skull.

Yeah I don't like the whole screen thing with the systems and everything so close your eyes if you want visual representation of your system.

In irritation, I close my eyes to see the information I got of my sword.

[Unnamed high steel sword - Rank C]

This sword was made in the mountains of the north with high-quality steel

Nice, at least it's not a common sword it will last me a while, but am I gonna have to do this every time when I observe an item and when I eventually upgrade this skill am I gonna have to close my eyes to see the information of people or more complex information.

Your brain sugar used to the information given by observe when you eventually upgrade the skill don't worry you shouldn't receive so much pain for every use.

Well, that doesn't give me great confidence but I guess there is no point in complaining, as Artorius walk-through noticed the looks of some of the parents who looked at him with worry or nervousness, "this guy had to be a real piece of shit to get this type of treatment" Artorius thought going out to the field.

Now outside the small town Artorius walked to a close cave as he entered, he saw with a smile his most precious companion.

He was a dragon rider in front of him was a blue dragon the dragons have blue scales with very point edges his tail was also covered in scales you had a horn in below his forehead it has sharp and pointy teeth it also had intense red eyes.

He smile at him, hey Rodrigo wanna go for a ride Artorius said looking at his companion the dragon slowly left the cave Artorius seen that also started walking out the cave once out Rodrigo stretch his wings, his huge blue wings covering most of the cave.

Artorius prepare to ride Rodrigo the moment he touched them he received a slight headache his "system" was notifying him of something.

That's good I guess but what's with the taming thing?

Your system has a taming system you can tame monsters and other beasts to your will after defeating them they consider you their master you get to see what type of monster they are and their quality.

Nice, I said to myself, looking at my new skills I was definitely going to have fun with this new system of mine.

 - Merlin -

Seeing as Arthur was trying to cast a fireball and failing, she simply looked at him until she felt something one of the Wards she had put in Artorius's small little territory it was a simple Ward warning her of any magical threat she had one all around the kingdom.

Noticing the reason why the ward activated a small smile appeared on her beautiful face, Artorius had increased his magical power gaining a large boost since last time.

The increase was random And With no logic, she was now kind of curious, Artorius did not receive her interest even though he was a dragon rider and had the potential to become a dragon lord due to the fact of his low magic power.

This was kind of disappointing, considering Arthur has an enormous amount of magic power, including the boy's father but not Artorius having a magic power at the same level as a standard commoner.

This was kind of disappointing, considering dragon lords were known for their large magic reserves and being strong sorcerers.

Regardless, she focused on her main student Arthur, but she did put a ward just in case he ever becomes anything interesting the kid still has potential she was just not interested in him.

But now feeling the new power from him she would keep an open eye on him just in case, there's always a possibility that he could be also a vessel for chaos. Honestly, she was not sure who was the real host of chaos both twins had similar auras but the reason why she chose Arthur is because he had the most potential. Arthur was a great swordsman and had great magic reserves.

But frankly, the lady of the Lake did not give her much to work with to make an assured decision, I guess in the end it doesn't matter, when the time comes, the ritual would work on whoever is the true host regardless of their power besides it's not like Artorius the kid was a great swordsman greater than his brother.

Seeing Arthur managed to perfect as well she simply smiled and forgot about the topic. She will worry about that later.

XxX

Frankly, I just wanted to write a dragon riders story without writing in the world of GoT mostly because I like the world too much to make a shitty fanfic about it like most GoT fic are plus if you can't tell this is nanatsu no taizai AU obviously you could clearly tell considering this Arthur has a completely different background and the one in the original anime. Like in the original nanatsu no taizai the king just gives him his crown. What kind of retarded shit is that? But anyways this world is a mixture of nanatsu no taizai with arthurian legend mixed into it with a little bit of GoT/HotD lore, also the system is not a traditional gamer system, I genuinely enjoyed the simpler systems there and it was very entertaining to write. Also, with the classes Artorius can only progress with the class if he acts like the dragon lord, basically a traditional Targaryen.

I hope you enjoyed it.
