I turned my head left, right, above trying to find the dragon soul but I suddenly heard a voice in my head saying, "Oi, I'm here, Human"

I was perplexed as the voice in my head suddenly appears in front of me - A white flying glowing ball.

"I'm here. I'm the Dragon soul you just received" the glowing ball spoke while emitting luminous lights. I was stunned after hearing the glowing ball.

"You're taking?!" I questioned with confusion. "Y-yeah?" the glowing ball breathed deeply as he replied.

But before I could say anything again, a white flash flashed into my eyes and it formed into images - A black dragon was slaying a red dragon. A black dragon attacks an island where elves, giants and dwarves was residing. A black dragon that was slaughtering a bunch of monsters burning them into a crisps. None of them bothered the black dragon

"it was my memories. I did what I had to do. You can't blame me" the glowing ball said with uneasiness while turning it's body away and adding a hint of scorn in his voice and sighed deeply.

"Wait, wait. I don't understand. at all!" I said strongly. "Who are you and why are you speaking in my language anyway? I added. The white flying glowing ball suddenly turned into grey glowing ball and started speaking, "I'm the dragon soul you just acquired. I am basically that dragon over there" pointing out the petrified dragon.

"You're Mr.Fraener?!" I questioned strongly

"Yeah?"

"I thought you died back there! You didn't say something about you being reincarnated into this! I mean, a glowing ball! " I grumbled disappointed as I shook my head while staring at the grey orb.

"I got you there, right?!" the grey glowing ball asked sarcastically.

"For god's sa- I don't have a time for this, Mr.fraener!"

"Alright, alright. be cool, okay? I'm sorry to startle you" the grey orb replied as he became a white glowing ball again

I was dumbfounded "what was that?" I asked with confusion

"ah! the colour thingy?"

"Yes!"

"It has something to do with my mood . basically, I will turn into white glowing ball if I am in a good mood. Grey, if I am confused; Green, if I am sad. Red, if I am upset and Black if I'm angry" the glowing ball spoke with enthusiasm.

After hearing him explain, I extended my hand and touched his head as I asked, "Why did you kill those individuals?" I ask calmly. The white glowing ball suddenly turn quite after hearing my question. "I-idk" he spoke with a taciturn tone as he slowly became a green glowing ball.

"He became a green ball, so he is sad" I muttered; I strolled over to him and shook my head while patting the green glowing ball. "Uh, you don't have to answer my question. Sorry for asking" I added with a sorry face.

The green glowing ball looked at me and said, "I had a cruel and merciless reputation that has not been broken to this day. I spent my life killing and fighting strong individual as if it was my way to vent my frustration and loneliness. With my own strength, I found countless enemies and slaughtered them all. Despite my reputation as someone who rampages all the time, I found a friend. She was enthusiastic, noisy, and friendly but, I got betrayed; she was killed by my older brother - the red dragon that I murdered. After that, I lost my composure and started to rampage again and until one day.. Elves, dwarves, giants and other monsters gathered to hunt me down because I was causing a havoc. They failed to get rid of me but I used too much strength to the point where I exhausted my magicores and made it unstable. Furthermore, I decided to come here to wait for my death and then I met you and If that demon decided to attack us, it will be the end of us, surely. We got lucky." the green glowing ball said with a melancholy tone.

I looked into the ground and my eyes filled with tears as I spoke, "To be honest, I don't want to be affiliated with a mass murderer however, I understand you at some point. I can't blame you, Mr.Fraener. It must be hard having no one to talk to.." Just looking at him I can see the crushing emotions of betrayal and anger.

The green glowing ball nodded, "It was hard but, let's stop this drama!" he spoke sarcastically while as he turned into a white glowing ball.

I whispered trying to wipe my tears away "You're right, Mr.Fraener" the white glowing ball agreed proudly. "Do you feel any changes in your body by any chance?" the white glowing ball curiously questioned. I then tried to clinch my fist, shouted and looked up trying to copy the manga series Dragon Ball Z to power up but nothing happened.

"Oi, what are you doing?" the white glowing ball scoffed.

"Uh, nothing!"

"It seems like you are having a difficulty regulating your magicores!" the white glowing ball declared with obnoxious tone.

I sighed and then spoke, "Yeah, I am. Please help me"

The white glowing ball smirked at me and said, "Call me master as I will be your teacher from now on!"

"Teach me how to regulate my magicores" I said while ignoring the white glowing ball's last remarks.

"Give me a name"

"Huh?" I questioned with confusion.

"By giving me a name, I, a spiritual lifeform will received a physical body hence I'd be able to help you regulating your magicores"

Spiritual lifeform : is a lifeform who has been born without a physical body 

"I really don't have an idea but, you're "Fafnir. Th-that's your name" I spoke hesitantly

"Fafnir, that's my name.." the white glowing ball said as he suddenly begun to emit luminous light.

Naming a monster will change their appearance and strength. Named monsters typically considered as a "Superior being" than to a nameless monster; There are two types of naming: FAIR NAMING, where the giver of the name establishes an equal relationship between them. MASTER TO FOLLOWER NAMING, where the named monster should follow the giver of the name. 

"Now that you received a name, I wonder what will be your appearance looks like.. I'm kind of nervous." I muttered nervously.
