The First Dragon God

Grewishka and his group were out searching for food end necessities when they heard a series of loud sounds.

He stopped his group and listened closer, trying to ascertain what could be causing the sound.

Listening closer, he was surprised when he realised that the sounds was because of an ongoing battle. He was still doubtful but when he heard a female voice shout the name, 'Leo', he believed that the sound was really caused by a battle.

He couldn't believe it. From what he could discern from the sounds, he knew that that this Leo person was fighting something huge. What it was, he has no idea.

Realising this, he immediately move far away from the surroundings with his group, keeping a safe distance so that the fight doesn't find them.

He found a safe place and hid himself and his group, waiting for the battle to end. He wanted to go back to their base and take refuge there, but without any idea of what the Leo person is fighting and how it would affect them, he didn't dare to, as he didn't want to put those back at the base in danger.

Also, it wouldn't be good if they go back empty-handed after expending so much time and energy. It would amount to a wasted trip and every single one of them—his group and the others back at the base—would starve, if they come back empty-handed.

Things might had been easy if they close to the woods or a place with vegetations but with the woods located at least a mile from their current location, it was impossible to get to it.

For this reason, Grewishka decided to wait and his group agreed with him. They continued waiting, while also listening to the sound of the raging battle.

Few moments later, they heard the sound of someone shouting, following shortly by a loud rumble and another rumble followed shortly again.

After that, everywhere went still and a heavy silence enveloped the surroundings.

Grewishka curiously and carefully look towards where the sound seems to be coming from and looked around, confirming that there was no immediate danger.

He confirmed that there was no immediate danger but he decided to wait a little to see if anything out of the ordinary would happen. But after waiting for a while, everywhere was as still as it was after the second rumbling sound.

Confirming that everything was fine, Grewishka and his group came out of their hiding place.

"What could that possibly be?" One of them asked, after coming out of their hiding place.

"I don't know but from the sounds, it seems like two people fighting something huge," Grewishka replied, as he continued looking at the where the sound was coming from—some high rise buildings that was a distance.

He was thinking of what next to do when he felt a drop of water fall on his hand. He looked at it and looked towards the sky, and saw that it was starting to rain.

He looked back at their hiding place but shook his head afterwards. Hiding there from the rain would be impossible as the place doesn't have a covering to shed them from the rain.

He turned to look at the high rise buildings at the distance and made up his mind.

"Let's go there and wait out the rain," he said, pointing to the buildings, and started walking towards them.

The group immediately followed behind Grewishka, walking towards the building. After walking a couple of distance, they all stopped in shock.

In front of them is a massive black creature that was bleeding out on the floor, the ground around was a testament to the destruction that has occurred, and was from how still it was, it was dead.

"What the hell is that?!" One of them asked in unrestrained shock, with a slightly loud voice.

He was continue talking but a quick glare from Grewishka shut him up. He closed his forcefully but the shock he was feeling wasn't going away anytime soon.

It wasn't just the man that was shocked by the scene in front of them. The feeling was the same for all of them and some of them were so shocked that they couldn't talk.

They knew that the behemoth-looking creature in front of them was killed by two people that they heard shouting, but they found it hard to believe that this is something a human can do.

Though they were aware that they world has changed qnd so is everything on it, but for a human to defeat something that huge was something they refused to believe no matter how they thought of it.

While his group were still reeling from the shock of the massive dead creature in front of them, Grewishka had already recovered and was now assessing the situation.

From his distance of four meters, he observed and studied the carcass ot the black creature on the floor.

"It looks like a giant pig, except that it has furs which pigs don't have....," Grewishka said to himself, as he observed it.

"I would had said it's a Warthog but they aren't found in our country, so it should be a Boar," Grewishka said to himself.

His eyes widened in realization when he realised that the creature that the two shouting individuals, were fighting was a huge Boar.

He thought that the awakening of a thing only affected humans but seeing the dead huge Boar in front of him, told him just how wrong he was.

Grewishka couldn't help but admire the person that was brave and strong enough to kill the Boar. From just its size alone, he knew that the Boar wasn't an easy opponent.

Though this feeling only lasted a moment as his growled the next moment, reminding him of its empty state.

Rubbing his empty stomach and looking at the Boar's carcass, Grewishka had an idea. Though he has no idea if the person or the individuals that killed the Boar that killed was still around, he was willing to take the risk.

He didn't want to starve to death and also, he felt that it was possible for the people that fought this Boar to go free without any severe injuries.

"Guys, we don't need to worry about food anymore. We will be taking this Boar home," he said, pointing to the Boar's carcass.

The group members looked at Grewishka strangely after what he said. They don't understand how they are supposed to carry something that looks like it weighs a ton back to their base.

Not even considering how they are going to carry the Boar, the real question is if the Boar is safe for so consumption.

Seeing the strange looks his group members were giving him, Grewishka smiled and proceeded to tell them his plan.

"Relax. We're not dragging the whole thing back; we'll take what we can carry. Meat is meat, and this thing has plenty to spare."

The group exchanged uneasy glances, still unsure about his plan.

"What I'm actually worried about is if the meat is safe for consumption. We don't know what type of parasites or stuff is inside it. Who knows? It might be poisonous and we don't know why it's so big," one of the said, looking at the Boar cautiously.

"Poison, my foot. The reason why it's big is most probably due to the same thing that we will see when we kill zombies. Even if it's poisonous and unsafe for consumption, are you willing to die of starvation?" Grewishka asked, looking at the person that spoke, meaningfully.

"But what if the people who killed it comes back? What if they're still nearby? We can't fight them off. We are not even one bit as strong as the monster on the floor." One of them spoke up hesitantly.

Grewishka frowned, his tone turning sharp, as he said, "If they wanted it, they'd still be here guarding it. Besides, it's either this or we go back empty-handed. Do you want to explain that to everyone at thebase? As for whoever killed it, if they were still here, they would've made their presence known by now."

Despite his confident words, he knew the risk was real. Whoever killed this creature had to be exceptionally strong—far stronger than anyone in his group. But desperation pushed aside caution.

The others fell silent, realizing the truth in his words. Despite their lingering fear, hunger pushed them forward.

Grewishka saw this and signaled for the them to approach the carcass cautiously, keeping an eye out for any signs of danger.

As they reached the Boar, the group marveled at its sheer size. Its fur was coarse and black, its tusks jagged and menacing even in death.

Blood pooled beneath its massive body, soaking the ground and releasing a metallic tang into the air. Even with the rain that falling, the smell still hung in the air.

Grewishka wasted no time, pulling out a makeshift blade and instructing his group to do the same.

"Work quickly. Take as much meat as we can carry, but don't be careless. Keep an eye on the area."

They were about to start dissecting when done group with armed members l, seemingly ready to fight, arrived in front of them.

"Stop! That doesn't belong to you" a man who seems to be their leader, said.
