The Eternal Family

Chapter 49 The True World

?

The magical candle that lit the room sparked with light, dimming and brightening according to some weird rules, making the bathroom have a uniquely enticing feel to it...

Her eyes shone as she felt Harry's excitement,

Verma continued to the really important part "So tell me, my dear, what do you know about Born-Dragon abilities?"

"It's just simple stuff, just that they are inheritance abilities created by An Eternal Dragon Clan, and that they can never be promoted on a stage basis like ordinary abilities...Yeah, just this much!" He said. he was rather ignorant about everything in this world,

But he sure wished to know more.

Nodding, Verma continued her explanation,

"It's as much as I guessed you would know,

So, don't you know that those abilities could be stolen from others?"

"I saw something like that before, But, it's all kind of mixed in me, so I would like an explanation from the start..." Replied Harry as he slowly hugged her, his hands resting calmly behind her back, and slowly patted it, informing her to continue,

And so she did, "Yes, Born-Dragon abilities, let me explain it to you from the start"

"Eternals," Pausing and giving emphasis to the importance of that word with the action, she continued, "A name that seldom anybody ever knows, Me being one of the very few, less than 10 people, who know it in our whole world."

She waited for him to chew on what she said, and seeing him look at her, she proceeded, "In this world, our world, there once lived an eternal clan called Dragons. Their appearance and capabilities were lost in the writing of history, but what we do know, is enough to incite awe in all of us," Verma's voice carried a sense of wonder as she delved into the lore.

"First, There were seven distinct sub-species within the Dragon Clan: the Lust Clan, the Greed Clan, the Wrath Clan, the Sloth Clan, the Envy Clan, the Pride Clan, and the Gluttony Clan."

"And each of them had their own distinct differences, and us, the Lust Royal Family, is actually the descendants of Lust Dragons..."

Giving him time to ponder, She leaned further into his embrace, enjoying his manly smell resembling ancient gunpowder, but more soothing

"But why doesn't the world know about it? Why is it a secret? And how did you know that?" Asked Harry, his voice laden with curiosity,

Verma blinked and mentioned in passing, "Your intelligence sure is down when your thing is hard..." And then continued "Of course the world can't know, Which species would want another species as their Royal family? Moreover, the Eternal is not a word to be casually spread, or the end of the world would just be a cute result,

And the one who told me all this was you yourself, My husband, in the future of course..."

Continuing on the previous topic she started speaking again after a little breathing pause, "All these seven eternal dragon clans had one thing in common, the Lust clan was lustful, the greed clan was greedy and so on...

their emotions influenced their behaviour,

And lust dragons were the worst of them, Hitting every hole they could,

They proliferated the whole continent with dragon blood, creating creatures like dragon cows to dragonic horses, even Draconic humans,

And the greed dragons weren't much better either, as they too had proliferated the lands quite a bit with their draconic blood...

Except for pride, almost all the dragon race had their impure descendants here

All a hybrid race of dragons, just like our royal family...

And they were all generalized and called one single word — Born dragons.

All born dragons, even if they were humans or beasts, receive intelligence boosts when their ability is first awakened

Meaning a dragon cow can have human-level intelligence

Then there is the important part, Born-Dragon abilities...

They were abilities that are rarely seen on these born dragons, always at any given time, there are only 100 abilities, And it is said that, if someone collects all one hundred abilities in a single body, The true inheritance the dragons left for their impure descendants will finally be revealed,

Showing its true majestic face to the world.

But no one had ever been capable enough to acquire all of them, even the awakened you couldn't do it since you died almost right after succeeding..."

"But then, don't people question the origins of these creatures, animals with intelligence when they see one, won't they reach the conclusion of this through theories?"

"No, we have a fake origin story for them, we tell the masses that these creatures are ones born with abilities, gifts, they are sacred creatures."

"And they believe it?" Harry questioned, rather surprised to find a matrix in this ancient setting, one where he was on the puppeteer side.

"They do believe us, they never saw something that we lied about after all."

"So does it mean, not everyone with a Bloodline has a Born-dragon ability too?" Harry questioned.

"Yes"

"Then, are there supposed to be two of the same kind of abilities at the same time?"

"No, never, But the only ability every born dragon gets alongside their Born-Dragon ability is draconic transformation, all true Born-Dragons have it."

"So I have to try getting my hands on all 100 Born Dragon abilities?"

"Yes, you should, Sister phoenix emphasized on this fact a hundred times...she wanted you to try your hardest at this." Replied Verma seriously,

"I'm also interested in this, Yeah these abilities really are very useful too, what's your Born-Dragon ability by the way?"

"Check your system, I'm too tired with all this speaking and our pleasure performance today.."

"Do you want a good massage and wash?"

"Tch, Isn't it for you to just play around with my body?" Verma asked with playful disgust.

"Yes," Harry replied with all seriousness, He was exactly up to that.

Chuckling, Verma replied, "Yeah, I suppose I could have one 'simple' massage after the bath."

"Okay, My lady!"
