Lucas Pereira lived a life many would consider ordinary. A young man of 26 years, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, he spent most of his days working a dull office job. But at night, he was transported to a world far more vibrant — a world of monsters, magic, and mythical creatures. He was an ardent fan of Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, a series that captivated him with its creative storytelling and unique universe. His favorite character? None other than Veldora Tempest, the Storm Dragon. A being of immense power and charisma, trapped for centuries but still defiant, free-spirited, and surprisingly playful.
Lucas admired Veldora's carefree nature, his strength, and the way he befriended the protagonist, Rimuru. He often imagined himself in that world, wondering what it would be like to wield such power, to soar through the skies, or to be revered as a mighty True Dragon.
It was a normal, hot afternoon in Rio when everything changed. Lucas had just finished a long day at work, and he was crossing a busy street, earbuds plugged in, lost in thoughts about the latest episode of the anime. He didn't see the car speeding towards him until it was too late. The impact was swift, and everything turned dark.
When Lucas opened his eyes again, he felt... nothing. No pain, no sensation, just a strange emptiness. For a moment, he wondered if he was dreaming or if he had somehow miraculously survived. But as his consciousness began to stir, he realized something was profoundly different.
His body, or rather, the sensation of having a body, was utterly alien. He felt... massive. He could feel the weight of his form, something immense and powerful. His senses, too, were unlike anything he had ever experienced. He could hear the faintest rustle of leaves miles away, feel the vibrations of the earth beneath him, and sense the magical energies that permeated the air.
"Where... am I?" he thought, trying to make sense of his surroundings.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind, deep and resonant, yet warm and almost comforting. "You have awakened, little one."
Lucas turned his attention to the source of the voice, though he realized he didn't have a head or eyes in the way he used to. His awareness simply shifted, and he saw him — a massive dragon with scales that shimmered like the night sky, dotted with stars. This dragon exuded an aura of authority and calm, but also of overwhelming power.
"Who... who are you?" Lucas's voice trembled in his mind, realizing he wasn't speaking out loud. The dragon's golden eyes seemed to bore into his soul.
"I am Veldanava, the Star King Dragon," the creature replied, his voice both regal and kind. "And you, little one, are now Velriza, a True Dragon, born anew."
Velriza? The name echoed in Lucas's mind, but it felt strangely fitting, almost as if it had always been a part of him. "Wait... a True Dragon?" he stuttered mentally. "But... I'm a guy... Lucas... I'm..."
Veldanava chuckled, a sound that shook the very ground. "Your memories of your previous life are intact, I see. But you are no longer the person you once were, Lucas. Here, in this world, you have been reborn as a True Dragon. And your current form is... that of a female."
The revelation hit Lucas — no, Velriza — like a tidal wave. A surge of emotions coursed through her. Fear, confusion, curiosity, and a strange sense of wonder all mixed together. She tried to speak, but no sound came out, only a telepathic whisper. "Why... why me?"
Veldanava's expression softened. "The why is simple, little sister. The universe has chosen you, as it often does, in mysterious ways. Your soul resonated with the essence of a True Dragon, and thus, here you are. You have been granted a second chance, a chance to live as one of the most powerful beings in this world."
Velriza felt a shiver run through her massive form. "So, I'm really... a dragon? A True Dragon?"
"Indeed," Veldanava replied, his tone amused. "And you are my younger sister, Velriza. Though your memories may be of another world, your essence, your being, is that of a dragon. And you are no ordinary dragon, but one of the True Dragons, beings of great power and divine authority."
A flood of information filled Velriza's mind. She remembered everything about Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, about Veldora, Veldanava, and the legends of the True Dragons. But this wasn't fiction. This was real. She could feel the magic coursing through her veins, the strength in her colossal body, and the energy of the world around her.
"Two thousand years from now, a being unlike any other will be born into this world," Veldanava continued. "But for now, this world is yours to explore, to shape, and to protect. As my sibling, your destiny is entwined with the fate of this world. But what you choose to do with that fate is entirely up to you."
Velriza took a deep breath — or what felt like one, given her new form. She could feel the power coursing through her, an untapped potential waiting to be unleashed. A thousand questions swirled in her mind, but one thing was clear: she was no longer Lucas Pereira, the office worker from Rio. She was Velriza, a True Dragon of this fantastical world.
"What do I do now?" she asked, uncertainty and determination mixing in her thoughts.
Veldanava smiled, a rare and radiant expression. "Live, Velriza. Live as you see fit. Discover who you are now. Learn the ways of this world, and make it your own. You are no longer bound by the limitations of your previous existence. You are free."
Velriza felt a surge of excitement, a rush of adrenaline like never before. The fear and confusion were still there, but they were accompanied by a sense of purpose, of freedom she had never felt in her past life. She was a True Dragon, with all the possibilities and mysteries of this new world laid out before her.
"Very well," Velriza replied, her voice growing steadier. "I will live. I will discover who I am... and what I am meant to be."
Veldanava nodded approvingly. "Good. Remember, you are not alone, Velriza. You have siblings, and a whole world to explore. Now go, and let your journey begin."
With that, Veldanava's form began to fade, dissolving into the wind, leaving Velriza alone in the vastness of a dense, primeval forest. She could feel the ground tremble beneath her massive form, the trees swaying as she moved. She spread her wings — wings she had never imagined having — and felt the wind lift her, carrying her upward into the sky.
She soared, her mind still reeling with the reality of what had just happened. The wind rushed past her scales, and she felt truly alive for the first time. She looked down at the sprawling forest below, the mountains in the distance, and the endless horizon.
Velriza, the True Dragon, was born. And her story had just begun.
