Tensura: New Beginning

Chapter 4

Young dragon's POV:

It's dark.

The darkness envelopes all, preventing me from seeing any shape or figure.

Where am I? Besides, what happened?

Wasn't there someone making fun of me, calling me a... sage?... no, a great sage.

With that thought, I regained consciousness.

My name is Mikami Satoru. A 37 year old, nice guy.

While saving my kouhai from a some street slasher, I got stabbed instead.

Alright, I remember. I'm okay. No time for panic.

After remembering everything I could, I opened my eyes and tried to look around, but I finally noticed that I couldn't see anything.

I tried moving , but I hit something hard. There's something there?

'Where am I?' I asked myself.

I hit the thing that was covering me again and again .

'I need to get out of here' I tap on the hard substance once more and find it's a bit fragile

It suddenly cracked when I repeated my actions some more.

What is it , a shell?

I hit it some more until it finally broke open, freeing myself from the thing, I confirmed that it was actually a shell....wait.....if I just came out of a shell....

I looked at my body to noticed that it wasn't human.

I looked at my hands and notice it isn't human in the least, it has claws and was larger than those of a human. My legs are bigger and more muscular.

I tried to speak but what came out was a beastly growl. It caught me off guard to hear that kind of sound coming from me. Have I really been reborn as a non-human or worse a monster?

I look at my body to also see that it has scales that are really dark in colour, I use my hand to touch it and it was hard...very hard... it feels as if it's made of steel.

I felt other sensations in my body and my back somewhat feels like something is on it, paying attention to it, I noticed i have four legs and extra appendages namely a tail and a pair of really large wings.

All these features are synonymous to those of dragons, could it be I reincarnated as a dragon?

I stood up to fully check myself out but I fell on the ground.

I was not used to having and walking on four legs

I tried balancing myself and moving but I kept failing, It was frustrating. I
repeated this for a while until I got the hang of walking on all fours but having a tail and wings was comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time for some reason.

It was messing with my sense of balance.

I took a minute to get used to it, during that time I checked to see what I had crawled out from only to notice a really big egg. It was pitch black in colors with starry patterns all over it, resembling my scales.

It confirmed the fact that I had indeed been reborn as a dragon.

Suddenly the shell started turning to dust, no not dust but some shiny particle. What is that?
