Matthew was looking up. His eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment. A giant shadow forecast over him as well the chimaeras behind him.
The owner of the shadow was a large winged being with bluewhite scales. Its eyes were green and shone dimly in its own shadow. Its wings made it appear bigger. It was standing on two legs and it also had a pair of arms. It gave off a very intimidating presence with just its appearance alone.
It was the Elemental Dragon Emperor, Platinum!

A few minutes ago…
It was the day after Matthew fought the chimaera siblings. Matthew had woken up to a surprise when the chimaeras survived his attack and even more so when they suddenly proclaimed him as their master. Well, only Potolo was very enthusiastic about that.
Matthew accepted them since they might be useful later. He was invited to dinner by the siblings
The Alpine Mountain, also known as Mount Alps, was one of the many mountains on the Rex mountain range. It was the highest peak in the world with more than 5000 metres in height. It was smaller than the tallest mountain that Matthew knew.Matthew, along with his chimaera servants, were headed to that mountain on the back of the Elemental Dragon Emperor, Platinum, who invited them to her home for some reason. Not far behind was a dragon with green scales that was an apprentice of Platinum named Chloe.They were flying at about cruising speed since Matthew didn’t feel the rush of air on his face that much, but they soon arrived at their destination. Platinum did not fly all the way to the peak. She flew to about a third of the height where they could see a large open area in front of a cave that was also big. One could maybe even build a house there.Platinum landed in the middle of the open area. Platinum was also q
“I am your grandmother.” The woman in front of Matthew said.Matthew was more than just surprised. He also thought it was ridiculous. She looked way too young to give the impression of a grandmother. In Matthew’s common sense, it sounded impossible. But he also felt that it was true.“Grandma?” Matthew subconsciously said that.The woman’s smile became wider and tears welled up in her eyes.“I never thought I would be able to hear those words from my grandchildren. Matthew, I am so, so happy to see you.”The woman hugged Matthew tightly. Matthew still had a look of surprise on his face. He slowly moved his hands and hugged her back as he closed his eyes as if really embracing her. He really did feel like she was, as she says, his grandmother.Platinum simply smiled watching the family reunion. Chloe was astonish
“They’re dead.”The truth was revealed before Raisya by Matthew. Raisya let out a very soft gasp.“No way.” Raisya denied him. “I did not train Rin to be so weak. What kind of enemy did she face to have been killed?” She seemed angry.“Me. I was that enemy.” Matthew said with a low voice.Raisya’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”Matthew took a deep breath and said the next few words with a slightly louder voice than before. “I… I killed them.”Matthew told her the thing that he had kept bottled up. It was not exactly a secret. Matthew simply hasn't told anyone else aside from Susan who already knew. The next person to know was the mother of one of his parents. The worst person to know about it, was what Matthew thought.“Matt.” Raisya
It was night time and the stars were scattered across the sky. Matthew and Raisya were sitting at a table on a balcony. There was a teapot and also three cups on the table, all filled with black coffee. Matthew and Raisya had continued to talk about many topics from noon till night almost without stopping. Matthew told Raisya all about his life back on Earth. About school, about phones, computers, his other grandparents, his uncle and aunt and his brother. Raisya was very fascinated by how common such technology was. There were similar things like communication systems and data processing and storage in Magiheim but they were exclusive for governmental use and other companies or organisations that had been given permission. Common people did not have these in Magiheim. Schools were not really different. Magiheim always had schools that taught science, mathematics, history, religion, magic, an
At the Winged Gears hideout.About an hour after Matthew accidentally teleported.All five members of the criminal group were gathered at the basement of the hideout.Jade was standing in front of the incomplete teleportation chamber with a light blue sphere that was faintly glowing in his right hand. Nazu and Alex were searching through many boxes that were now on the floor. Tina and Susan were merely standing in the middle of the basement."To think that he teleported somewhere just like that." Tina muttered while cupping her chin. Her glasses were shining under the light."Are we sure that he teleported though?" Susan asked."Yeah. What if he just made a break for it after finding all this?" Nazu added."I'm sure. If he wanted to run away, he would've taken Yggdrasil's crystal too." Jade stood up as he said that. "I don't exactly know
Jade’s POVSince I was a child, I have always been a great inventor.I managed to create a smartphone from scraps of old broken phones once. Of course, such a thing was already widely used and the working garbage I created had no worth. But to me, it was something that inspired me.Kind of weird, huh? Inspired by your own garbage.I started taking classes focused on science in school and majored in computer science in college. Many inventions were created, be it special or not, I felt pride in my own work.Each success and failure gave me motivation. Nothing stopped me from inventing things. It was my passion to keep making things. Be it something that’s already made, an improvement to them or a completely new product. I was happy about it all.That was until I started working.At first, it was fine. I got a decent job at a te
"And so, with that in mind, I bought two of those consoles when it came out." Jade continued to tell his story."When I got them, I disassembled one of them. I inspected and learned the parts of it. There was a red crystal, that red crystal." Jade pointed at the crystal in Matthew's hand. "Then there is also material with weird composites, maybe not something that can be found on Earth. I took the parts I thought would be important.""And then what happened?" Matthew asked."Hours later, the news came in. A total of 2.7 million people went missing. Once they have identified the cause, they stopped all operations and seized all the consoles.""Wait, weren't there only 500,000 available? How can there be almost three million? Also, if they seized all the consoles, how did you teleport later on?"Matthew remembered the number that was shown in the advertisement.
The skies in every major city in each country were currently filled with an army of creatures. They were simply hovering in the sky after they came out and have not yet moved much since.There were also battalions of ground and sea infantry sighted on open plains nearby the nation borders. Their situation was the same as the sky units, they only waited there as if they were waiting for an order.It has been like this for an hour already. It seemed that they were still coming.The leaders and kings of each nation had gathered in an emergency meeting via magic communication. Their holograms were being projected at the table where only the Omni King, Kronos Von Spector, was the actual person there.From his right: Cyss Emperor, Alfredo El Chrome; Dwarf King, Gronta Pappy; Tiberian King, Argus Maximus; Elf Queen, Guinevere Whitehorn; Missoni Chief, Phulu; Cobalt Ocean Empire Emperor, Shima Melcros; and S
