Reincarnated As A Dragon With Cheats-Chapter 6: Chaos
Chapter 6: Chaos
Pebbles believed that lizards were a cheap copy of dragons, and they were.
Dragons were calamities. They were beings that reshaped the world simply by existing.
Pebbles believed that a dragon breathed fire that could burn away anything. Such was their majesty.
That’s why they were legends.
Meanwhile, lizards were what remained after all the majesty had been stripped off from dragons.
They had no overwhelming aura. There was no shred of anything that would make one’s heart pound.
Far from that, they were like frogs destined to only dream of flying in the skies, all while staring at it from the bottom. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
So when this certain baby spider looked at him and thought that way, Pebbles felt that it was extremely disrespectful.
"Ahem," he coughed out loud as he stomped his left foot twice.
"You see, I’m not a lizard. I’m a dragon. A mighty and majestic dragon." If anyone had heard him speak, they’d easily understand that he was boasting.
They’d even scoff and spit at his attitude, the way he said it.
The baby spider, however, had a small frown. That was soon replaced by another mouth-opening revelation.
[Notice: the baby spider is Attempting to hold communication...]
[Enabling feature...]
Ding!
[Now you can freely communicate with-]
"Pwease, you can’t be a stupid dwagon. You are a liward."
"GAAAK!"
Pebbles almost felt his heart being pierced by an invisible arrow made of the baby spider’s words.
It was his first time hearing anyone speak. It felt somewhat soothing. More soothing were the spider’s words.
He found it cute.
To his eyes, the spider looked like a cute chibbi plushie toy.
He controlled his desire to hug the insolent cutie and stomped his left foot twice again.
"Ahem. I am indeed a dragon."
The spider tilted its head slightly.
It then turned back at the hole that was very close to the wall, where shards of the eggshell had fallen, where Pebbles had hatched initially.
Pebbles followed the baby spider’s gaze only to find quite a few red eyes concentrated at the holes.
The baby spider then turned back.
It then walked with eight of its tiny legs closer to Pebbles.
Pebbles was not on alert. He was rather in a debating mode.
But what the baby said next only made the situation difficult for him.
"Are... are you pwetending to be a dragon to keep those stwalkers away?"
The question blew Pebbles’ mind.
[...]
Even the system was stunned.
"S-stalkers?"
The baby spider took a few more steps forward, almost as if leaning closer.
"Yes, they can be a lwittle too much sometimes... but don’t worry, swir. I can handle them for you."
"You can? Really?"
"Ywep. Just watch me."
The stone spiders didn’t seem like stalkers to Pebbles.
In fact, they were staying far, far away from him. The matter was confusing to him.
So he wanted to ask further, but the spider was already gone.
Pebbles turned his head left and then right, yet initially he couldn’t find the baby.
He finally did.
But that didn’t make his situation any better.
The baby spider was on top of a rock that stood out the most.
It was gigantic and platform-like, akin to a podium where one would give a speech. The baby spider was the talker this time.
"Hwello hwello!"
The words caught Pebbles’ attention as he noticed the baby spider taking the stage.
"I dont think ya’all need my intro, do ya?"
Tadak tadak—
Pebbles could hear breaking and cracking noises of stone, as if they were trembling or shaking.
"Haha, lwisten up you swon of bwitches."
"...?"
If Pebbles had an external ear with an ear canal, he would surely put his tiny little finger into it to rub and check if what he’d just listened to was not some auditory hallucination.
"Don’t you dware to mess with my bwother! You might think he is a lwizadd from the great void and might want to befriend him for your benefits, but just so you know, he is nothing but a teeny twiny dwagon!"
"...?!!"
"What the fu-"
"Just look at how ugly he is. Look at him!"
At this moment, Pebbles felt a thousand eyes glancing at him. It was as if they were staring at each and every part of his body. His privacy felt stripped, which was the case from long ago, but he truly felt it now.
"-ck."
"Look at how vulgar his words are. Look at his eyes dwangling, mouth constantly open from where his saliva keeps dropping..."
My saliva keeps dropping?
"Just look at the dirt on his body, the slimy gweesy exterior... you guys rweally thwink he is a lwizadd? Nah, you bwitches are hallucinating!"
At this moment, Pebbles had already noticed a few stains nearby, closely following the path he’d taken. It was his saliva drops that had left marks.
He was too fixated on this for a moment.
What the fuck? I can’t control myself? Am I hungry or what?
Pondering that, Pebbles half-heartedly touched his lower jaw and upper jaw simultaneously.
What he felt left a deep question.
The fuck, my jaw is misaligned. Ah, makes sense... prematurity.
And just like that, he casually forgot about it right away and shifted his focus elsewhere, to the baby.
He wanted to run, grab a hold of it, and shut its mouth.
The amount of bullshit it was spewing was immeasurable.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t.
In fact, the situation got so worse that Pebbles almost doubted his survivability.
"So you swons of bwitches, stop following my brother’s movements and get on with your day!"
And with that, the spider puffed its chest, folded two of its legs as if it were folding its hands, and gave a smile at Pebbles.
Pebbles smiled back awkwardly...
And the awkwardness turned into chaos when he heard their voices... deep voices...
"Wait, if he isn’t the great Lizard God of Abyss, then we can hunt and eat him, can’t we?"
"...huh?"
"Eh?"
"Yes. If that’s the case, then we need not hesitate! Even if he is ugly, he is still food! Guys, ATTACK!"
"..."
And in a blink of an eye, hundreds of spiders launched out of the numerous holes toward him, surrounding him instantly.
They didn’t stop there. They jumped further, ready to slice and dice him as they now truly considered Pebbles a delicacy.
"... You motherfucker!!!"
