Is this really a Game?!

"I think I know," Beast said behind them, his body frozen in fear as his eyes were still staring at the spot the huge beast came out from.

"What, you know that thing?" Tank was shocked as he looks at Beast.

"Jiaolong, also known as flood dragons, based on how that thing looked like I think it\'s probably that," Beast says solemnly, in his free time he liked to read light novels and the flood dragon is one of the monsters that\'s usually in the wuxia and xianxia novels. Beast continues with his words.

"A flood dragon is either a snake that managed to evolve to dragonhood and is only a step away from becoming a true dragon, or it is simply a descendant of a dragon that slept around with other species. It lives underwater, either in the sea or in big lakes and it\'s weaker compared to a true dragon but it is always incredibly strong, as every monster with dragon blood is." Beast finishes his sentence solemnly as everyone looks at him in shock.

"Fuck, a freaking dragon, that thing has to be overpowered then, hey Reign, how does it compare to the wyvern that saved us?" Shadow looks over at Reign and asks him, making him touch his chin and go into deep thought.

"The wyvern was only there for a moment but, I think it\'s weaker than this flood dragon, I felt pressure from it but not nearly like this." He shakes his head as he spreads his arms, feeling powerless when he thinks of the enormous power those things have.

"Anyway, we need to leave, this area is way too dangerous for us, if any of those monsters see us we are dead." Wolf interrupts the conversation and says, everyone turned serious and noded in agreement, they slowly make their way around the lake, now that they were here they knew which way to go.

Inside the same forest, on a hill a couple of kilometers away from the party a man and a woman were leisurely walking. Their calm faces showed no fear towards the monsters around them, it was the opposite actually, as all of the monsters were trembling in fear and dared not to make a sound. A troll was right beside the pair, kneeling in fear as they pass it while talking.

"I didn\'t know that you visited this planet before Z." The long-legged woman says. Every step she took was incredibly elegant and poised. Her violet long dress clung to her perfect body tightly, accentuating her curves and breasts. She was about 177cm tall with a body that looked so perfect one would think it was sculpted by a god. Her long violet hair swayed gently in the wind, making a serene yet dangerous look around her.

Every time she took a step the ground beneath her would become charred, a small ring of fire appearing for a split second. It wasn\'t something she did on purpose, her strength was simply so great that even her touch could kill the monsters here.

If anyone was to see her now they would be shocked. This woman was famous all over the universe, she was the leader of a faction that ruled an area of the universe, something that was incredibly difficult to do. She is known by many titles: Ruler of the Violet Flame, Enchanting Lady, Planet Scorcher were amongst many, her most famous one is the one everyone calls her though, "The Immemorial Dragon" Miriam Zur\'miver.

"Yes, a couple of millennia ago I stumbled upon this place while running away after I was ambushed by the three brothers of the blood clan." The man beside her answered, his muscular body was covered with a simple light blue robe, every step he took seemed to resonate with the heavens themselves, and his long blonde hair was neatly combed back and fell all the way to his back. His face was calm but his eyes showed a look of uncertainty.

"What\'s wrong, boy, it is rare to see such a look on your face." Miriam smiles at him as she says, her smile immediately charms the beasts around them, as they look at her with incredible love and longing on their face. Her face was so beautiful that describing it as breathtaking was an insult, her smile so enchanting that even gods would fall in love, while her deep violet eyes seemingly incorporated the whole cosmos in them.

"Because I forgot about it until this planet started the game I simply forgot about its existence." The blonde man says with a frown on his face.

"Well that\'s not such a big deal, even though our memory is almost perfect at this level of power sometimes we forget things, a planet such as this is simply too low for us to-" Before Miriam could continue she stops as the blonde man shakes his head in denial.

"You don\'t understand, a planet like this is impossible for me to forget Miriam, they knew, they knew about me, about my family, even things I still hadn\'t done yet, they knew it, these mortals here talked of us as gods, not everything was true but, the names of my children, my wife, they knew everything in advance!" The man says with a pale face, making the woman stop in her tracks, shocked.

"That, that should be impossible, for them to know such things, and for you to forget them, that is-" Once again the woman gets interrupted by the man as he continues talking.

"That\'s right, even the divine oracle couldn\'t know all of that, not only that, but others too, they knew stories that they couldn\'t have known. Stories of future feats of incredible people, life stories that even we only found out later, it should be impossible and yet, they knew all of that Miriam." The man says everything without stopping once, making the frown on the woman\'s face larger.

"Of course some things were different, I remember that in their stories that watery fcking bastard was my brother, well that, that is not true at all, he is just a distant cousin, incredibly talented I will agree on that, but still, it should simply be impossible for them to know such things, it makes no sense, I remember the planet clearly now, me, my family, my pantheon, we were worshipped as gods amongst many others, and all of them exist Miriam!" The blonde man\'s face was a bit red as he finished his words, whether it was because of his excitement or the fact that he spoke for a couple of minutes without stopping to breathe, we will never know.

"How, how could you forget it then?" Miriam asks him, befuddled with what she just heard.

"I don\'t know, I … I remember that before I left, there was a light and a figure, his looks I cannot remember, but the next thing I remember was that I was just outside my family\'s territory, without any recollection of it, different memories were in my mind, until a couple of days ago when the game started here." The man placed his right hand on the side of his head, gently shaking it in confusion.

"A man, and you can\'t remember anything about him?" Miriam asks him while staring at his face.

"No, but even if he was the one that sealed my memories, I should have regained them a long time ago, there are after all not many people stronger than me in the universe, and I am certain it was not any that I know of, even if it was, my memories still should have returned a long time ago."

"That is correct, this – this is incredibly suspicious, I … I know of one person, only one person in the whole universe that could do something like that, but if it was him then … then we should probably leave this planet." Miriam shakes her head as fear shows in her eyes, the man noticed that and got shocked to the core.

(Fear, she is actually showing fear?!) One should know that Miriam is an incredible existence in the universe, the number of people she has killed over the many millennia is too much to count.

"I know you have many questions for me now Z, but trust me, if it really was him, he did it for a reason, even you regaining your memories in fact, wait, why, why would he return your memories then, he would have known you would come back here, did he plan for it then?" The woman goes into deep thought suddenly, the man simply stands next to her and waits.

"We should stay then, there is probably something here we can do, or maybe, a person we can find." Miriam\'s eyes suddenly open wide as she finally figured something out. "It is that then, no wonder, no wonder then." As she speaks she looks at the man and tells him.

"Listen Z, there is a boy here, a boy, young man, you probably need to him as your disciple, no, not even that, just give him a mark, that will suffice." She says with excitement while shaking the blonde man.

"W-what, what are you saying?" The man asks her in bewilderment, not understanding why her behavior changed so suddenly.

"Don\'t worry, you will understand why soon, he is special, you will know when you see him, he is above worthy enough to wield the power of lightning as you." The woman smiles at him before turning around and walking.

The man stands for a moment in confusion, something like this had never happened to him before, he was after all the leader of the Pantheon, the man known as the "God of Lighting", Zeus.
