The First Dragon God

Ves was watching Leo sleep, caressing his face and thinking of the time when they were still in the orphanage home.

She remembered how the kids there looked up to Leo and treated him as their big brother. This was mostly because Leo was the oldest among them, with the second older being just a year younger than him.

Remembering the orphanage home and everyone there, Ves felt a slight feeling of melancholia.

The Mutant Boar they just fought made her to almost lose hope that they might still be alive, somewhere out there.

With how young the children are and the how old the workers there are, surviving in this new world would be extremely difficult. Infact, beyond difficult.

The orphanage was staffed mostly by elderly women or young, inexperienced females. Ves couldn't fathom how the weak, inexperienced, and elderly staffs would be able to protect themselves, let alone the children.

Still, she was still hopeful. She sighed and closed her eyes briefly, before standing up. She walked to the window and looked at the Mutant Boar where it lay inert on the floor.

She still couldn't believe that they were able to beat something as huge as that. If someone told her that something like would be possible, she would look at such person like they are late on their meds.

One of the reasons for this is that the Mutant Boar was something that just the size alone was enough to cause someone to pee their pants.

Ves studied the Mutant Boar, thinking of what to do with its carcass. Leaving it where it was was completely out of the question, as it would do them more harm than good.

Considering its size, the first thing they would experience would the catastrophic smell that would envelope the area if it starts decaying. And this is if the carcass doesn't attract the attention of other monsters and that will spell even more trouble for them.

And with how things are right now, Ves felt that the second has more likelihood of happening.

Ves was still thinking about it when her eyes lit up in realization the next moment.

"Yes, we can do that. It should be edible as apart from just being huge, the fleshy part of it that I touch didn't feel much different to normal meat," Ves said to herself.

Though she wasn't entirely sure if her guess is correct, she knew that they have to do something about the Mutant Boar's carcass, and this was the only way she could think of.

Also, with how edible it looks and how difficult the world has become, it would be a sin to let it go to waste.

Carry it out and dispose it somewhere? Impossible. It's something that even the combined strength of everyone in the building won't be able to achieve.

Thinking of how they defeated it, Ves smiled proudly. Her smile turned stiff the next moment, causing a slightly funny expression to appear on her face, when she saw a group of people walking towards the Mutant Boar.

With just a glance she could already guess what their intentions are. She frowned and immediately left the room, making her way to the ground floor.

Immediately after stepping out of the elevator, she heard someone who looks like the leader of the unknown group, telling Miguel to fight him for the Boar's carcass if he wants to lay claim to it.

She got angry when she heard this and was about to go teach the loud mouth a lesson when she heard what Miguel said next. Out of curiosity to see how he would handle the situation and get an understanding of his character, she decided to wait.

She was really surprised and impressed by what Miguel said, and how he handled the situation.

Her curiosity piqued and she waited to see how the unknown group leader would respond and react.

The following moments, a smile bloomed on her face when she heard his response.

"He's smart," she muttered to herself, thinking of how Miguel handled the situation perfectly.

She quickly changed the expression on her face, replacing the smile with a piercing glare and with furrowed brows. Her lips pressed into a thin, unyielding line, and she set her jaw so tightly it exudes raw dominance.

After putting on the best boss lady expression she could, she walked to the door, out of the building and to where the two groups were standing.

"You can have the two legs but if you come back here next time and try to pull what you just did today, trust me, you will have yourself to blame for whatever happens to you," she said, and immediately walked back into the building, without bothering to listen to anything any of them had to say.

Ves walked back into the building and relaxed the expression on her. She sighed and made her way to the eighth floor, to the apartment she's sharing with Leo.

Now, that she thought of it, she could choose any of the apartments on the eighth floor but instead, she chose to stay in the same apartment with Leo.

This was something that was very easy for anyone who heard it and had no prior knowledge of their relationship, to misunderstand. If not for the fact that Leo was years younger than her, their situation would be like something out a kdrama.

Yes, Leo had caught her in just her panties before but that was a honest mistake from the two of them.

Ves couldn't help but giggle to herself when she thought of it. She felt like teasing Leo about it again. To her, she felt that the chances of anything happening between her and Leo was nil.

Leo would remain nothing more than her little brother and that won't change no matter what.

Though she felt that things might be actually different if Leo was at max two years younger than her. But that's on a maybe.

Ves felt her becoming hot when she thought of this.

"What are you thinking, Ves?" She immediately slapped her face lightly, and bringing herself back to reality.

The elevator finally arrived on the eighth floor, and as she stepped out, her eyes widened in shock, her brows furrowing into a deep frown while her body tensed slightly.

"Where did they come from? Six of them? Were they drawn by the scent of the Boar's blood? Or are they a new territorial threat" She asked herself in a mixture of shock, fear and nervousness.

The reason why Ves was feeling this was because in the range of her [Predator Sight] and [Life Force Detection] skills, shows a pack of six wolves. And from the intensity of life force she detected from them, the weakest among them was two to three level lower than the Mutant Boar.
